The wurm opes maw to aggressively trump, Dink was buffeted by sonic shockwaves. He shielded his face against the wind while he tio recklessly charge at the wurm. His momentum decreased the closer he got until he was struggling to push through the storm of sand.

  Finally uo advany further, he pnted his feet and raised his sword in preparation. He couldn't evehe tip of his sword levelled in front of him, but he subtly felt the colossal beast lower its head toward the opening of the tunnel he had emerged from.

  The vibration the wurm emitted reso a frequen tuh the rock behind him, redug it to silt. The sound was getting louder and Dink could see a darkness f behind the sand wind pushing him back.

  Here goes nothing.

  Dink reached a finger ihe iron cage attached to his hip taining the Myid. He could see its agitation caused by the wurm's attack. But the wurm's r drowned out the distressed cries of the mushroom monster.

  Immediately after notig Dink's finger h above it, the Myid leapt to t. It suckled on the powerful untapped mana within him, drinking until it could no loomach it. Dink removed his finger from the catatonic mushroom creature's mouth.

  He could feel something immense and primal stirring within him, awakening from a deep slumber. The wild mana flowing through his veins no longer seemed untamed, it moved with purpose to alter his flesh. The stinging of the sand was reduced to nothing after bck scales formed armour to encase his skin. A deep rumbling of e filled his mind toward the wurm about to engulf him, bursting outward with his draic aura.

  "Little wyrmling, to be so bold as to posture before me. It is infuriating that I have fallen to the point that a lowly tool shaped as a on of war dares front me. Reduced only to a mindless beast uhe aura of one of its masters. Pitiful," Dink spoke in a stratural nguage. It was the in of all nguages belonging to the monster races, draic.

  Power filled every inch of his body, the very mana in the air humming with his words. The trumpeting of the wurm ged fre to fusion and fear.

  Those words were mine, but they also weren't. There's something f familiar about the presence. I have no doubt that it's truly part of me.

  Did those fug Hags do more than give me the draic bloodline wheurned me into a Goblin, did they also mesh my soul together with the sin true dragon? Just when I think I have it all worked out, I discover something new. I will make them pay dearly for this humiliation.

  The wurm hauled upward as it attempted to grind to a halt, cowed by his draic aura. When Dink stepped forward, the world suddenly stopped. His vision became sharply focused, allowing him to clearly see each grain of sand frozen in p the poorly lit cavern. The wurm emitted regur pulses that jolted from its body which he could now see shift the particles h in the air. The wurm ractically motionless in parison to Dink as he walked toward its maw rising from the ground.

  "Hahaha, I still 't utilise mana with this handicapped Goblin body. But with the draic bloodliive, I don't o, Big mama here is so slow. How is this possible? Has their race deteriorated this much sireating from the surface? Axion match its speed as a realm Attuned. But it's might will still easily crush him if he's not careful," Dink said to himself, ughing maniacally with joy. He looked down at the Myid ihe cage. Its expression was frozen in terror. "Poor creature. It's afraid for its life and using all of its ability to defend itself by making all nearby threats attack each other."

  Dink tightly grasped the hilt of his sword, it protested uhe strain of his grip. He let go of the cage which remained fixed in pce. Laung forward, the world returo normal for any casual observer. One moment Dink was motionless, poised to front the behemoth. The , he fshed into a while the wurm reared toward the ceiling, the iron cage holding the mushroom monster crashing to the sand.

  His figure was a blur climbing the armoured shell of the wurm. gs of metal oal routinely rang out as he asded, sounding like the chiming of a clock. The wurm roared with indignation and fear, stretg to its full height. It smmed into the ceiling, causing rocks to colpse. It was utterly unharmed by the iive rod sword strikes to its hide. Dink effortlessly dodge the falling debris, reag the top of the gigantic creature in a matter of seds.

  He hesitated at the opening, colleg himself with a heavy sigh before catapulting himself into the sky. Tentative rays of sunlight shined across Dink’s face as he positioned himself in mid-air, spiralling into a dive. His figure disappeared is gaping maw, causing the wurm’s attitude to pletely ge after he was swallowed.

  Feeling the absence of the draic aura, its panic gradually calmed down. It refocused its attention ounnel taining Axion and the wurm egg. Sonic pulses liquified solid stoo expand the tunnel wide enough for the wurm to enter. Entering Axion standing ready with his great axe in front of the wagon. The vibration in the air increased in iy.

  The wurm roared a challenge, exposing its gaping maw rge enough to devour a building whole. Despite the wurm’s best efforts, Axion remained firm. His mana tattoos fred to their full capacity uhe mental assault. Sonids buffeted him, causing him to squint his eyes while his mane billowed majestically behind him.

  He lowered his staightening his grip on the great axe. His expression ged into a snarl of defiance, unleashing a mighty lion roar of his own.
