Chapter 488 - The Big Boys Table

Onixya roared loud enough for all to know that she was coming. Players on the side of the Ash King panicked, it was not known to Dave beforehand as the skeletal dragon the Undead King rode to battle had wreaked havoc in their ranks, and now add to it a fully-fledged living dragon, the situation turned sour before she could even arrive.

The Earth Titan dug both its hands in the ground, pulling up a boulder the size of a small town then threw it right in the Ash King's direction. The latter was unable to dodge, if he did, the boulder would break right through one of his four ramparts and allow Undead easy access to his dominion.

The Ash King clapped both hands together in a thunderous explosion of sound, and then pulled them apart with exertion, creating a sword of fire. The motion was fast enough that he managed to wield the sword of fire and swing at the boulder, sundering it to ashes before it could do any damage.

"Humph, petty tricks." The Earth titan snorted.

"I have enslaved your entire race, what's one more, you over glorified earth golem." The Ash King replied in mockery.

Dave looked around as he was on Onixya's back, on the backline of his troops. The skeleton Dragon had many of his bones fractured or outright shattered. And right under its skeletal wing was The Undead King, laying on his back. He had a ghastly wound on his chest, tendrils of black magic rose, and tried to cover the wound but they failed miserably so.

This was possibly the effect of the Forbidden Chapter that was used on him. Dave had to take matters in his own hands, for now, the Undead King was no longer able to fight.

Players charged the Undead King's troops; they had been heavily damaged due to the Ash King's earlier assault. If it were not for the timely presence of the Earth Titan, they would have undoubtedly won against the Undead and killed the Undead King. Yet with such a looming threat right above their heads, they decided it was best to go around it and keep their hunt on for the Undead King's head.

Dave had an areal advantage and he noticed the players converging away from the titan and headed toward the Undead King.

"Onixya, give them a taste of your magic," Dave said and the dragon replied.

She opened her mouth wide, black flames coalesced and gathered in front of her, growing massively until it became a ball of fire much larger than Onixya herself. The fire was cool, it had no heat in it, but it was still terrorizing to have something as menacing right above your head.

The players that had taken notice were greatly alarmed; some even began applying defensive buffs.

But the 'fire breath' was not a fire breath, the giant ball of gathering flames began condensing, turning darker, smaller and more compact in a matter of seconds. It decompressed enough that it wasn't even larger than a nickel.

Onixya then spat the spell forward in the direction where the players were gathered.

The small fireball shot forward at bullet speed and dug itself into the ground. Nothing happened at first. And some players even believed that the dragon had misfired. But soon their judgment was proven extremely erroneous.

The ground trembled, then continuous tremors followed. The frequency at which the ground shook increased until it was no longer possible for any player to remain standing. They all fell and began bouncing up and down on the ground. Finally, from the point of impact where Onixya's spell connected to the ground. Dirt rose up in the shape of a bubble, then it dissipated, consumed by the ever so growing sphere of black energy that was underground.

The sphere grew so much that it tore into the ground and consumed the players inside it, but it didn't stop there, it kept growing and growing, eating up stone, dirt, players, and demons alike. Sucking them in as if the pits of hell had opened up.

The sphere soon contracted upon itself, even faster than it grew and all that was left was a crater where dead bodies of demons and mots of many players floated, not even half of them survived the attack.

Onixya dove down, giving Dave the time to jump off and head toward the Undead King.

Dave slid under the Bone Dragon's wings and urged, "King, are you alright?"

"C-child, yes, tis but a scratch!"

Dave rolled his eyes, the king was missing half of his ribs. But that didn't matter.

"Can you still fight?" Dave asked.

"Of course, We need some time to heal, this dammned Forbidden Chapter curse is slowing down Our regeneration. If Dagla was here, he would have done quick work with this. But no matter, tell me, child, why have you given up on your side of the battle, do you think this old man can't handle himself that you thought you should come to his aid?"

"Not at all, the Queen Of Ice decided to join in, and I didn't want to argue with her on tactics in raiding the gate. Better leave her to do the thinking, there is more fun and battle on this side anyway!" Dave grinned.

And the Undead King matched his grin, "Indeed, there is much more interesting."

Dave stood up and looked at the gate where the Ash King and the Earth Titan were battling with both words and fists.

"Your majesty, why haven't you used your black sword yet?" Dave asked.

"As much as We would have wanted to, it was by this very sword usage that We fell in Our first conquest against this abominable Ash King. He has means to shut down all of Our most powerful abilities, thus why We opted to slice and dice at him."

"I can't say I don't like the idea, but he's too big to be cut to pieces with your sword, no offense."

"None taken, child, it is indeed compared to his size. Our sword is a threat to him no more than a needle is a threat to a man. But even a needle can be deadly if it struck well." The Undead King said.

"Yeah, but I believe it's best to beat size with size," Dave replied

"What is the meaning behind your words, Childe?" the Undead King asked.

Dave replied with a smile and walked stoutly in front of the Undead King. Demonstrating was always better than explaining.

"Tiny," Dave uttered, and the small slime emerged from his pocket. The slime wiggled in ecstasy as Dave had once again called to him.

"Let's go Mega, buddy."

The slime immediately coalesced over Dave, covering him from head to toe. Then began growing in size. Dave's Mega form was now well known. The players that survived Onxiya's attack all went into a panic; they had all known how Dave battelled against two gods of conquest in this form and emerged victorious.

The players shouted in panic in their voice coms. "Where are the supporting parties?! Where is the other A team? And why the hell is Skelly here?!"

But no answer was satisfying enough, the other A team was still stuck fighting on the side where the Ice Queen was, the supporting parties were barely able to hold off the assault from Dortha's Wendigos, not even the Sworn Stalwarts could contend with the Enraged Wendigos. And for Dave being here, they had no real answer. He was struck with Forbidden Chapter, so he shouldn't have been able to fly there, but they never accounted for Dave using his Dragon to get there.

Dave began increasing the pressure on Tiny by adding his massive buffs. Zealot, Chaos, Herculean Strength, Strength Doubler, and finally [World Boss].

He applied the buffs so fast that he had finished them just as Tiny reached maximum height and the Mega Dave battling form.

Durandal grew to match Dave's size, both in power and size. As well as the copy of Ajax, made by Tiny's own bones.
