The roar that echoed caused many of the soldiers to still fall to their knees. Alice had started aiming to buff all the groups and the life mages had come out of nowhere with a sound dampening spell.
The skills used were enough to lessen the attack of sound on the soldiers but to the wyverns inside the ruins, it was vicious.
Not only did the sound hurt their eardrums, but it carried with it the purer dragon bloodline strength. A roar that totally pushed them away when it came to bloodline dominance. Any monster would understand the feeling of this sort of strength. A strength that was older and more powerful than theirs.
The secondary echo of this was a simple screeching roar in retaliation. "That was the wyvern queen. All groups move!" Walker had Onyx send these orders to everyone as the engraved wyverns appeared in the open space of the ruins. This allowed Walker and the royal dragons to move in to the dig out area with ease.
The last glance at his party proved that Walker would be coming back. It was also their promise that they would be holding things down safely. Midnight had done the same glance back to the others before rushing away as well.
"Brother, I will be waiting for you." Onyx's last words to Walker before they left the range that they could communicate mentally were just more motivation for him to push and do his best.
The rumbling of the wyverns fighting and attacking was much more than expected. Even now that the royal dragons were pushing in to the area that the wyverns had dug out to replicate the dragons' ruins, they felt them. The soldiers were surely battling with all their might to distract the wyverns. The adult wyverns much larger than themselves.
But that was nothing that the royal dragons and Walker or Midnight could think about. The things they had to think about were not their dragonkin or soldiers battling. They were concerned with the power that the angered wyvern Queen.
"It has strong earth affinity. It can feel us coming." Just like Terron, the wyvern Queen had an earth affinity. Terron's warning prompted the royal dragons to each take their dragon forms. This was not to cause an immediate battle but to show that they were strong within their own right and that the wyvern Queen should not attack them.
There was also the fact that it made the royal dragons show off their true elemental prowess. The different manas would show off the strength they had gained over years. All dragons were able to show off the depth of their elemental knowledge this way to show that they were supposed to be higher ranked than others.
As the passageway became even larger, the sudden pressure increased. Before the royal dragons could push in to the massive carved out room, Terron stopped and raised a claw. He wanted to be the first.
With Terron's first step, the earth mana was forced to calm down and the shaking seemed to be halted as well. Terron was using a lot of his strength to make this happen and resist the effects of battle outside.
As Walker followed with by the other royal dragons, Midnight seemed to be feeling pressure more than usual. Her skeletal armor skill had long been in use but seemed to be close to deactivating. The royal dragons and the wyvern queen were very powerful.
The massive head with a bone spiked brown and the many more slim bone spikes protruding from back and legs proved the age and strength of the wyvern queen. Along with the clear dark brown scales that had the influence of earth mana within each one. Defenses and attack that grew naturally.
"You are the wyvern queen that allows your children to flock over the lands and to our territory to eat! What right do you have?" Terrons growl and anger held a lot of earth mana but it was firm. Terron would negotiate like a dragon should.
There was a wide eyed glance at Terron as the wyvern queen rose from the rocket nest of dense stones it used to sleep on. It's badly shifted and appeared to be ready to attack at any second, however, the pressure it felt only told it that it would perish.
"Speak!" The order came again from Terron with a lot of earth mana involved.
' earth wyvern queen
This earth wyvern queen has lived for many years in slumber to separate its bloodline from dragon bloodline. It has nearly completed this endeavor to create its own earth wyvern bloodline on par with dragons.
Due to constant mediation, it had reached deep understanding of earth mana along with the ability to store it in its scales. This only increases the physical abilities it has along with the magical skills to manipulate the earth.
Due to the wyvern queen true form, it is unable to speak any language. However, I. The wyvern humanoid form it can speak the language it has seen for its entire life after being born and abandoned in the ancient dragon ruins.
The best…'
"Change in to your other form and speak to the royal dragons that have graced you with their presence!" Walker's interjection earned angry glances before they saw the wyvern queen begin to shift and change.
As the pressure from the royal dragons and the fact that Terron was pushing her down with earth elemental mana hit her, she had realized she had to obey them to survive. This also revealed why she had not risen from her rock nest since they came in.
'Pure earth wyvern egg
The egg was formed with all the earth mana and knowledge the wyvern queen has gained in life. It will be the first pure earth wyvern hatched and a brand new species of monster to the world. This egg should hatch within three months.'
The all around appraisal from Walker proved that the brown scaled eggs, all three, were the very first of the earth wyvern species. The very thing that they had theorized the wyvern queen wanted to create.
The form that appeared after the dust and dirt settled was that of a woman with multiple bone horns forming a crown around her head. Her scaled features were similar to a dragonkin. However, the wings were larger and there was also a long whip like tail behind her.
"Now speak!" Terron delivered even more pressure and seeing that the wyvern queen was forced down slightly released a little so it could speak.
"Are you the descendant of the great lord that created this palace?" The question was raspy and clearly hard for the wyvern queen to say, but it told a lot.
"Dragons. We are dragons. You still hold our blood and the wyverns fighting out dragonkin do as well. Why do you impede on our territories?" Terron didn't respond directly to it but it was enough for the wyvern queen to connect her own dots.
"Those failed children need food so I can find the best to grow my children. We will create our own a palace as great as this. We will be the-"
" you will disrespect the blood in your body and throw it aside!? How dare you insult the dragon race as such!" Ignus burst out with flames but Current stopped the flames with a wave of water. The silence afterwards was full of tension.
"You understand the ruins around you. The palace of an ancient earth dragon that once created this mountain." Terron used the information from Walker to speak. He saw a slight nod for the earth wyvern queen.
"Then you know you are related to dragons and that you are outmatched. Can you not control your children after you deem them weak?" This question was hard to ask. Terron and the other royal dragon understood a lot from this moment.
The rogue dragons that had given up their mental facilities to get food and survive plagued their territories. They had let that happen through their own actions. Now that they saw the wyverns had done the same, how could they judge harshly? Even the slight glances to Walker proved that they were seeing the same thing they did in some monsters with less of their blood.
"Impure. They cannot be wyverns if they live off weak blood!" The wyvern queen spoke with pressure or her own and anger. She clearly wanted to be her own race without the connection of others.
The pride that dragons had was left here with wyverns. Even with so little of the connection left, pride was powerful. To become her own race, many children had been born. Many wyverns brought together. All seem as weak to the queen who wished for purity. Somewhat tragic, but also harsh and loving.
