Reborn as a DRAGON

It was beautiful, the mana that seemed as If It was dancing around the blue dragon as he summoned a pillar of water, swiftly breaking one of the large chains holding the city together. I struggled to keep my balance as everything began to sway, yet my eyes never quite left the dragon's figure.

Even the famed mages did not seem to have an easy time holding the city up by themselves. I watched with wide-open eyes as a few of them sent their attacks towards the dragon. He didn't even attempt to dodge as an explosion broke out followed by a small cloud of dust that hid his figure.

The people cheered loudly in happiness thinking they had him, while the mages all had smug faces. But I knew, I shook my head as my lips curled upwards in excitement. 'He is coming!' I could feel my heart thumping in excitement as his large figure broke through the dust cloud silencing the crowd.

The dragon went straight towards another chain, I watched in shock and awe as he used his body to break through It as easily as a hot knife cutting through butter. I momentarily lost my footing and tumbled over as the city began to shake, buildings collapsed while the mages started to glow brighter pushing themselves to their limits in vain attempts at holding the city up.

'It's futile, he is playing with us,' It was obvious, I could see it, the dragon wasn't even serious. He could have easily ended this in one attack but he didn't. Instead, he was toying with us, "So this is a dragon?" I unconsciously mumbled, amazed at the outrageous display of strength.

Andila was famed for Its endurance. It was deemed an unconquerable city across the continent, yet here before my eyes, that same city was on the verge of collapse, all by the hands of a single blue dragon. "Amazing..." I had no words to describe what I was feeling, It was all worth coming all the way here.

The city guards must have realized by now that they could not remain on the defensive otherwise, If even one more chain breaks then the city would go down into the large waterfalls below. The mages were useless at the moment since they were using all of their strength trying to stabilize Andila.

I watched unblinkingly as the guard's captain led the charge while riding on her Ashving's back. I had to admit, she was truly graceful as she rushed towards the blue dragon, the captain then jumped off the one-eyed bird's back and slashed her giant glowing Claymore aiming at the dragon's head.

He easily dodged her blow, and instead of finishing her off, the dragon lunged at the small army of guards. What followed could only be described as a massacre, no one was his match as he weaved through their ranks harvesting lives with each swing of his claws.

The sky seemed to turn momentarily red as It rained blood and mangled corpses. Faced with such a gruesome scene, the citizens panicked as they began to rush trying to evacuate the city. Try flooded the streets, fighting to get on the back of an Ashving, I ignored them and instead watched the blue dragon with bated breath.

'Dragons are truly in a plane of their own, his affinity with magic is unreal, while his body strength is simply ridiculous, truly a beautiful creature,' I inwardly mumbled. There was no way I'd run away, especially not now that a real dragon is so close to me.

There were simply too many things I wanted to know, too many things I had to learn! And I was definitely not going to let this chance slip through my hands. I reached out into my back pocket and pulled a shining grey magic stone, closing my eyes I willed the wind mana to gather at my feet raising me into the air as I left the crumbling city below.

With the danger of me getting squished to death by a collapsing building or the panic-stricken crowd out of the way, I flew a distance away towards one of the main mountain peaks that surrounded Andila and carefully landed while keeping my eyes glued on the blue dragon.

The magic stone turned into dust, slipping through my fingers as the wind carried its remains away. 'This is a great spot! Now I can see everything clearly, I can't wait to go back and tell everyone about this! I'm sure they won't believe me, but-' I turned to glance at the ruined Andila before shaking my head. 'At least there is proof now,'

The guard's captain was looking at me with her eyes full of shock and resentment. "You attacked us for something that happened before most of us were even born?!" She yelled, her glowing Claymore trembled with rage as she seemed to have a hard time containing her anger. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Hmph," I harrumphed and refrained from adding anything. I reached out to the mana as a sharp ice sickle instantly appeared and shot towards her with unprecedented speed. The captain barely had time to raise her Claymore to block, yet It was futile. A loud cry of pain echoed through the sky as her arm was instantly pulverized sending her glowing weapon towards their waterfalls below.

Her oversized bird seemed to have been hit by the shockwave of my attack as he plunged downwards as well, taking her with him. I didn't care much for what happened to her as she disappeared. Turning my attention back to the almost ruined city, a wide grin made its way onto my face.

The robed mages were glowing very brightly as they struggled to keep the city afloat, but now with all the guards gone, they were completely vulnerable. I was already bored from playing with them, hence I rose even higher into the sky and opened my mouth as a spinning blue orb suddenly appeared.

The sky seemed to dim as the orb began to spin, shining with a bright blue hue. 'What best way to end things, If not with a dragon's breath,' The orb rushed towards Andila leaving a streak of blue in the sky, the mages and the citizens that failed to evacuate in time watched in horror as my dragon's breath made contact with the city's glowing shield, instantly cutting through It like paper before It continued towards the middle of the city.

For a second, the world seemed to go silent before a blinding explosion ensued, It was so bright that I had to shield my eyes for a second. The sound of It was deafening as the once glorious city collapsed completely, sending giant rocks towards the large river below. 'It's done,' I inwardly mumbled as I watched Andila disappear.

This was our first true warning, from now on, Piya was already doomed. With a final glance, I flapped my wings and made my way back to my father who was still waiting for me, with this target gone, It was time to move to our next one.
