Chapter 59 Impure Dragons

The Big Rabbit man saw me moving to sit with him. He tried to get up and move away. My tailed swishes around and blocked his exit. " I just want to talk. I want to know what preposterous thing my kinsmen have done." I said calmly. His eyes were on me. He watched my every move with a nervous look in his eyes. I sat down and crossed my legs to eat. He slowly sat down across from me.

" We have long been hostile toward the dragon men in these parts. It's no secret that they would kill us if they had the chance. They drove us from our homes and burned our village to the ground like I told you." He said slowly. ( His behaviour has taken a turn around it seems.) I thought as I spoke.

" Dragon Men are thought of as honorable in most peoples eyes. What makes these ones so different as to attack you while your people were hungry and the others were gone?" I asked. His eyes grew slightly red as he spoke.

" On other continents they are honorable and strong. Here they are no better than bandits and evil spirits feeding off the people. Most dragon bloods are descended from a Horrible Bandit ancestor who once lived in these parts by the name of Kong Shin. A Gorilla dragon man." The only thing that went through my mind was the image of a fat gorilla with scales and tiny dragon wings. It honestly almost made me laugh but I managed to hold it in and keep a level expression.

" So.... Why do they seek conflict with your clan specifically?" I asked. His face remained the same angry expression as he explained.

" Our clan found an abandoned mine many miles from here. It is rich in minerals and jewels. And there were many like it so they didnt try to take it from us. That is until we found a magic crystal vein hidden deep within behind some traps and a fake wall. We dont know how they found out but they were furious and I suppose they decided to make a strike at us to claim the mine." His ears were folded back as he suddenly hung his head.

" Sorry for my ignorance but what exactly is a magic crystal vein?" I asked. His ears perked up at my question but his attitude didnt improve. " You must've been born under a rock for you to not know what that is. It's a more vein that has absorbed natural elements for centuries until it became a magic ore vein. They are used in everything in the cities. Bathing, Cooking, Smithing, all of it runs off of magic crystals. Anyone who owns or has access to one could be rich for millenia." I nodded slowly as I took in the information.

" Okay.... So you had your village stolen from you....Your mine was taken from you... Now what will you do?" He hung his head in shame.

" We do nothing. I'm nowhere near strong enough to fight them and nobody here is in that type of condition either. We let them have it and hopefully we can find another place to settle." His face was stoic and his gaze distant. His face suddenly rocked forward as his face was suddenly planted into the ground.

" Steam rose from his head comically as I drew back my tail as I started chastising him.

" You are stupid! Admit it! They won't let you go! If they took one thing from you they will continue to do so till they take everything including your freedom. You will be the lowest on the food chain for the rest of your tribes days with that thought process. Is that what you want!?" He planted his hands on either side of his head and pulled his face out of the hole. His face had a couple scratches on it but he was riled up now.

" Do I have a choice!? I'm strong but against all of them with one of me is a little difficult!" He shouted at me. I grabbed his collar and opened my wings. " Your coming with me." I flapped and shot into the air. He was yelling at me the whole time we flew. I flew as I saw smoke rise in the distance. I dropped down and flopped him down close by.

He immediately sprung to his feet and got into a boxers stance. " Why did you bring me here!? To die? To be a meal for those fiends!?" I shook my head as I held my hands.

" Nope. I'm here to help you get your mine back." His face changed slightly as he let out

"Whaaaaat!!!!"

????

I walked toward the village gates or what was left of them. Two dragon men stood by the entrance. Their clothes were rags and a loin cloth around their waists. They were a dark brown without any significant colors adding to their draconic features. They had small horns like a baby goat and short brown hair.

I could hear them in the distance.

" We really gave those stupid bunnies a run didnt we." One chortled out. " I loved hearing the women scream as they were roasted alive. I wonder if boss will let us keep a few for entertainment if we find them again?" They other chuckled back lewdly. I felt my anger rising as I heard more of them relishing the death and destruction they wrought. I moved my had slightly as the shadows rose to engulf my body. My body became invisible as the shadows bent the light and mad me blend in perfectly. One of the guards left leaving the other one alone. I snuck up behind him used ghost fire on him.

" Better for you to acknowledge your sins and become clean than for you to keep living." I said quietly. The flames consumed him faster than he could scream. All that was left was a little floating light shaped like a small flame and some ash.

" Disperse to the shadows." I commanded. His flame flickered then dissapeared. I remained invisible and entered the village. I followed the scent of the other one to a charred bar. It was mostly charred on the outside. All that was really left was the bar counter and some of the bottles that had obviously blackened by a fire. There were 6 dragon men in it with the one I was following at the counter grabbing a bottle for himself. I began to think of what I would do next.

Suddenly there was a thudding sound echoing through the ground and making any glasses around rattle. I turned and found a large man standing by the door. He must have stood at 10 feet. He was heavily muscled and certainly looked like a gorilla given human shape with some scales covering his shoulders with a black gorilla-like beard. " Bring out the best damn wine men. We found the mine and the vein. We'll be rich and covered in women by this time next year. Slaves, gold, weapons, and blood refinery liquid to make us the strongest in this continent!" He went and sat on the bench in the corner. It groaned under his weight obviously unhappy to support such a large man. ( So that's the boss.) I thought as I crouched next to the bar watching them move around.

A thug brought him a goblet filled with wine. It looked more like a massive version of one. Made to be used by both hands. One hand grabbed the base and he drank heavily from it. ( He may be big, but everyone has a weakness.) I thought. He continued to drink throughout the night. More thugs poured through the door. ( I guess they're feeling the chill that night brings.) I understood it all too well. I did a head count and found 30 of them filled the room with exception to Monkey Boy.

I put my gauntlets on. " Time for a hunt." I whispered under my breath.

I unleashed the darkness from me. My invisibility faded and the room filled with shadows. Shouts echoed in the darkness.

"I can't see!", "What is this!", "What sorcery is this!" Hey continued shouting. Out of it all a bright flame filled the place wiping out my shadows before I could so much as kill one of them. My gauntleted hand was holding the neck of one of the men. It was very awkward when the shadows faded and I was there holding him in the air. I was taller than the henchmen by a foot but shorter than the boss.

" Let's get the party started I suppose." I said as a snap rang out and the thug fell to the floor his neck at an odd angle.

"Thors!" One of them yelled and launched himself at me. I batted him to the side grabbed his tail and smashed him into the ground like a mace. His mouth started foaming as I got surrounded by the thugs. I was still holding the guys tail when the boss looked over his men and smugly raised an eyebrow. " Kill him." That was all I needed. The guy I was holding became a great weapon if I say so myself. I spun and knocked everyone back before they could lunge at me. Some went through the door. Others through the walls. A couple had the comedy of flying out the windows. The poor chap I was holding though only had the misfortune of being used as a rag doll. Once he others had been bowled over I let go of the thug who now looked more like a pig with how beaten and bruised he was. He slapped to the ground and just laid there unconscious.

The boss as they had called him got up and crushed his goblet like it was paper.

" Finally some ass wipe came to piss me off. Who sent you? The bunny men? Some of my former brothers in arms? Hm?" He grunted at me. "No matter. No matter. I think you'll be squealing soon." He started to expand. His loin cloth ripped as he grew thicker and his dragon legs lengthened and thickened to almost 3 feet wide his arms exploded to 4 feet wide. He grew a set of small draconic wings. Not big enough to engage in flight or be of use. His face grew into a gorilla styled face covered in scales and fur. He looked like a gorilla but his hind quarters had a long dragon tail and dragon legs. He was the worst form of a chimera I could ever imagine. He was a ball of fur and scales. Standing at 20 feet tall and must've weighed a good 400 pounds or more.

"Hmmm. I got one of those." I said. My gauntlets slipped into my dimensional bag as I slid it off. My body began expanding as my dragon form came out and my limbs began taking shape again. My six legs came out and I my flying wings spread out again. I was still only 12 feet tall but I had more tricks up my sleeve. His eyes widened slightly as he roared at me. I hardly felt a thing. " How quaint. You don't know how to truly roar." His eyes filled with shock, then rage. He raised his arms and brought them down gorilla style. I raised my shields and his fists slammed into them. My feet sunk slightly into the ground with the impact but my shield arms never moved. I pushed his arms off and rammed his midsection with my horns. He fell backward with the impact. He rolled out of the bar and into a burnt out house, crushing it.

" You have little to no fighting ability. It's a miracle how you managed to burn down this village with how dumb you are." I said.

His face turned red as he raised his head and I saw his throat glow orange. He opened his mouth and an explosive blast came out. I didnt have time to block. But I didnt end up having to. I was bathed in the flames and forced backwards by the sheer force. Fortunately his flames were even weaker than any flame I'd faced so far. Smoke filled the air and I heard cheers. " You got 'im boss. He'd be toast after that!" I flapped my wings once and the smoke cleared. I saw jaws drop as I looked at all the henchmen I hadn't killed. They were beaten and bruised but all in all ok from what I saw. ( These lot are really resilient) I thought slightly surprised. I suddenly felt my feet get a little warm.I looked down and noticed I was standing on Molten lava.(Holy Crap!)

I lifted a foot and lava dripped from my claws. "Hmmm." The dragon ape got up and started charging at me. "Enough of this" I muttered. I sucked in air with a whistling sound. It only took a second for my lungs to fill. what happened afterward was defeaning. I unleashed my roar at full blast. The ape was seemingly slammed into the ground along with his henchmen. He longer the roar went the more passed out from the strain it put on their minds and bodies.

/ Host has used Disaster Roar. Disaster roar is suppressing the Impure Dragonmen around host./ My roar finally stopped when the dragon ape finally fainted. ( Impure?)
