Chapter 6

In the land of the kingdom of Rhodes before it was formed, it was seen that people gathered to camp from various parts of the country. They rested on the ground.

Troop leaders from each group are also preparing for the need to stay overnight. Some had stayed and camped there before the rest of the group arrived.

One of them is the Onder de family. He and his family and siblings were making preparations for the hunt.

"Welcome." said someone standing in front of Onder de.

Onder de who was tying his shoelaces saw the shadow blocking him from the sun and looked up.

"Introduce me as the leader of the family army as well as the leader of the strongest knight, my name is Adhelmar." he said, holding out his hand.

Onder de accepted the outstretched hand, and stood up as well.

"My name is Onder de." replied Onder de.

“This is a welcome gift from us.” while handing over a deer he just got. The deer was hit by an arrow in the thigh and bound with wood.

"Thank you very much." replied Onder de in a friendly manner.

"Come on, I'll take you to some of the group leaders here, before you head off to hunt." take Adelmar.

"Okay." said Onder de who was patting the back of his ass.

The two of them walked towards the group of people who were there.

There were those who prepared the horses' saddles, sharpened their knives and also talked to each other.

Adhelmar, who was leading the horse and tying his black horse, delivered Onder de to them.

"Hello, we have a new group leader here," said Adelmar.

Everyone looking in their direction greeted him warmly. And invite them to join. Talking about many things, such as where they come from, where they want to go, and what their habits are.

Until the middle of the afternoon when the sun went down they were still busy talking. However, Onder de returned to his entourage to go to meet his wife who was with the newly born son.

Onder de saw his wife who was carrying her child standing in front of the tent before they came to see them, a scream came from behind.

Everyone screamed and rushed outside to run for safety. Onder de is seeing what the situation is.

Onder de found people running away from the place where he was talking to the leaders of the group and there was a huge giant dragon with 3 heads.

It was dark black in color, the head in the middle had horns, the left head had whitish blue eyes and the other head with The fiery red eyes of the two of them had no horns.

Both wings spread over his body. The dragon started spitting out flames that burned around, the other head spewed out thick dark green smoke that would turn to stone in front, then the red-eyed dragon emitted a rain-like liquid that could melt the surroundings.

The 3-headed dragon's attack was so extraordinary that everyone who was there panicked. The troop leaders were busy giving orders to save the women and children and ordering those who could fight to join the attack.

They ran away and the dragons spit out whatever they had. The gusts of wind blowing through its wings made several forest trees fall and snap to the size of a dragon like a towering mountain.

The troop leaders were seen tricking the dragon's attention so that the men could run for safety, riding their horses with swords and bows and stone catapults carried by one of the group.

The fire began to burn around the forest location and some of the soil was also starting to look like it had melted due to the poisonous water spray released by the dragon.

The fighters were getting tired, followed by many of their comrades who also died. Either because it was stepped on by a dragon or it was hit by a burst of fire and burned away without a trace.

The full moon had already begun to look perfect however, the dragon still couldn't be stopped. The scales that were thick like steel were impossible to penetrate with weapons. People looked at each other like there was no hope of saving themselves.

Elsewhere their family saw puffs of smoke from the burning forest and the figure of a dragon with three heads. The night wind blew with the sound of children calling for their father and wanting to go see but, being held back by the people, the sound of sobbing women. Onder de's wife and son hugged each other.

Sadness began to sound among the people.

The people in the battle looked at each other and simultaneously charged at the dragon as if signaling it was the last attack they could muster.

In a very fierce battle, dragons are not creatures that can be easily defeated by humans, let alone have no strength and only rely on the weapons they have.

While the fight was going on, one of the leaders of the Bedros army saw from a distance, behind the dragon was a small child carrying something that was being hugged.

Little boy with white hair in shabby clothes. Bedros thought that the boy was one of the members of the group who got lost alone to escape.

"Hey, turn the dragon the other way there's a kid." cried Bedros, pointing his hand at the boy.

Some looked at the child and began to avert their eyes from the dragon which was busy wriggling to stomp on the people below. Bedros ran as hard as he could because Bedros was quite far from the child.

The child right behind the dragon Bedros's back didn't immediately barge straight in that direction he circled into the forest so that the dragon wouldn't see him.

"What are you doing here? Everyone ran to save themselves." said Bedros who immediately carried the child.

It didn't take long for them to enter the forest again. Bedros saw the child he was carrying, there was no look of fear on his face at all.

"I can help you if you don't want to die and save people who are still alive," said the child.

Bedros listened to the silly things of a small child and paid no heed to what he said.

"So put me down!" The boy's orders reassured Bedros.

Bedros put it down and looked at the boy.

"Bring them,"

"Give each of them a master, for you to use this hard stone" while giving 5 hard stones.

The stones had never been seen by Bedros in his wandering life and were not found on the black market.

The stones are clear, however, inside there is colored smoke that surrounds and moves as if alive with black, blue, white silver, orange and yellow gold.

Bedros still couldn't believe what he had just seen and heard from such a small child.

“Quickly give it, break the seal inside with the blood you have to make a contract, the rest is for the gods to guide you. I'll be waiting somewhere safe." he added again.

His face was clearly visible so he looked at Bedros with blood-colored eyes exactly the same as one of the dragon heads there.

After taking him away to a safe place. Bedros ran very fast, worrying about the people who were still battling the raging dragon.

Seeing the group that he left behind, there were only 4 people where only the leader looked very tired, some of them were hit by dragon fire and burned.

Bedros gave one by one randomly then…

“Sacrifice your blood to make a contract.” shouted Bedros while slashing his left hand with the dagger he found in front.

After the blood dripped out, Bedros tightly gripped his hard rock.

Without thinking they followed Bedros' movements. Suddenly a light came out of their stones. Making their hair fly because of the power that emerges from the hard rock.

A colored light mingled with stone and blood came out. The dragon's body also emits the same color and is sucked into the stones they hold.

A dragon scream resounded in pain. The great power of the dragon was absorbed in the rock making several leaders crash, some were holding them back by leaning against a tree because like a big rock pushed them hard.

The light from the dragon began to dissipate and all that could be seen was the smoke surrounding its body as if it had been burned.

“Bedros, make us as many hard stones as possible and give Catwijck to create weapons.” Voor't command.

It didn't take long for Bedros to grab whatever was in front of him and turn them into the exact same hard stones he got from the little boy, only that he lacked the power within the stones.

Catwijck took the hard stone made by Bedros by making strong and hard weapons covered by Mana. Catwijck, who often sells the best weapons, has never made weapons from hard stone and produces weapons of the highest quality.

Voor't took the weapon that Catwijck gave him in the form of arrows with arrows with Mana, Onder de received several finger cavity exercises and controlled them with Mana so that they could float in the air to move freely.

"Give me, I have two swords with opposite training eyes," said Adhelmar.

“Adhelmar struck his chest and stabbed them (swords) right in the heart of the dragon. We will try to slow down his movement." said Voor't running towards the dragon.

Voor't, Onder de and Bedros ran towards the dragon, meanwhile Catwijck was still combining some hard stones to make a sword with two blades.
