Chapter 580: The Need
Chapter 580: The Need
Erend and Eccar locked eyes with the colossal rock golem, its stony hide as tough as a fortress wall that reinforced with Magic power. They had faced it before and they knew this creature's strength and resilience all too well.
Each layer of its dense rock armor had to be shattered before they could even hope to pierce the core and finish it off. That will make this fight last pretty long if they use their current power.
Without a word, Erend and Eccar made a silent agreement to end this fight quickly. They let out a fierce roar and the air around them shifted, thickening with an intense surge of Magic energy and light.
[ Skill activated: Fire Dragon Transformation (Lv.1) ]
Their bodies contorted and expanded as they activated their Dragon Transformation, bones cracking and muscles rippling as they took on their full terrifying forms.
Erend became a huge black and red Fire Dragon, his scales burning with the hue of embers, a powerful fire blazing in his eyes. Flames flickered around his body, casting an ominous glow over the desert sands.
Beside him, Eccar transformed into a massive brown and black Earth Dragon, his form rugged and solid, with a feral, unbreakable strength exuding from every inch of his scaled body. Together, they stood almost eye-to-eye with the golem, their colossal size now a match for the rock giant's body.
The rock golem roared in challenge and the battle immediatel erupted into a whirlwind of pure destructive power.
Erend wasted no time. He immediately unleashing a torrent of fire straight at the golem. The fire licked at the rocky layers and superheating them until cracks began to spider across the surface.
The golem still looked undeterred, though. It swung one of its massive fists down aiming to crush Erend. But Erend dodged with surprising speed, flying to the sky and raining fire from above.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
...
Eccar seized the opening, his claws glowing with the earthen energy he controlled. With a powerful swipe, he slammed his massive claws into the golem's leg, chipping away chunks of stone with each blow.
Erend followed behind him and immediately unleashing another inferno that blazed around them both as they met the golem head-on again.
The golem swung its massive arms as if this is its first time seeing them, but the two Dragons were relentless, their claws and flames tearing into its stony hide like before.

Meanwhile, in a shadowed dimension filled with a dense oppressive air, the figures in black molten armor had regrouped. The two men and one woman were now joined by three more of their kin, all bearing the same strange, living armor that seemed to pulse in rhythm with the dim light around them.
The group stood together in a circle, each face partially obscured by the eerie glow of their helms.
"The Dragon's power is unmistakable," the woman began, looking at her group. "Its presence was felt across dimensions and its impossible to replicate that."
One of the newcomers in thee group that have cold and calculating eyes, spoke up. "Then it has begun. We must move quick now to ensure this power does not fall beyond our grasp."
The others murmured in agreement, the weight of their mission clear in their voices. They all turned, casting a glance at the ancient stone plate. They need to prepare to depart on their dangerous mission.
The youngest of the group, his face still bearing a trace of uncertainty beneath his dark helm, broke the silence.
"Don't we need a more detailed plan?" he asked, his voice cautious. "Crossing into another dimension isn't exactly simple. And we need to consider the Dragonborn's decision."
One of the others, a man with a face weathered by battle and resolve, shook his head firmly. "There's no time to plan further. If we delay, our world won't last. The fractures in our realm are growing every day." His voice held a gravity that made the others fall silent.
It was clear their resolve was driven by something greater than power—desperation. Their eyes filled with purpose to stop their world's imminent collapse. They weren't seeking to capture the Dragonborn or force their will upon them. Such an attempt would be madness, and they knew it well.
Their goal was different, they intended to seek out the Dragonborn and ask for help. The young man glanced at his comrades, understanding the magnitude of their task.
Even with their strength, they were reaching out for a power far beyond their own, hoping the Dragonborn would see their plight and choose to aid them.
This wasn't a mission of conquest or domination. It was a plea for survival to the level that that need to cross the boundaries of dimensions and relied on the mercy of beings who wielded the forces of creation itself. And they need to began their journey soon.
