In the heart of the land of dragons, beneath a sky tormented by eternal storms, stood the fortress of Dragon King Stone. A being of imposing scale, covered in scales like obsidian and with wings that could obscure the sun, he had guarded the remnants of the fallen god for centuries.
That evening, the air was thick with tension and foreboding, as the echo of battles resonated in the distance, a symphony of chaos that announced the arrival of the interim leaders of the Purgatory organization.
Stone, with his vast wisdom and power, had sensed a shift in the currents of energy that enveloped his domain. The delicate balance he had maintained for centuries was about to be shattered by those who wished to steal what he had been entrusted to protect.
Like burning embers, his eyes focused on the invaders’ direction, and a bolt of anger illuminated his being. The leaders of Purgatory were not mere mortals. They were legendary warriors, born strategists and mages with the ability to manipulate the forces of nature.

Each wore armor that gleamed with arcane runes, carrying the history of their past victories. They were known throughout the realm for their cunning and determination; they had defied gods and demons but had never faced the majesty of Stone.
The battlefield stretched before them, a plain ravaged by fire and war. In the center of this devastation, where the wind howled like a mournful lament, the remnants of the fallen god stood, shrouded in an eerie light.
It was a surreal scene, where past and present collided, and the power of oblivion still echoed in every fragment. As Stone descended from his watchtower of rock and lightning, the earth trembled beneath his feet.
His roar echoed across the valleys and mountains, a cry that reverberated in the hearts of all who came to witness the battle. The creatures of the forest, the gnomes, and the fairies hid in the gloom, knowing that a spectacle of epic magnitude was about to unfold.
The leaders of Purgatory, sensing Stone’s arrival, stopped. The air became thick, charged with magic and danger. He was the guardian! The dragon looked down upon them from its imposing height, and in that instant, they understood that they were not just seeking loot; they were about to challenge a king.
The battle erupted like an erupting volcano. Stone opened his mouth and a torrent of flames erupted from his throat, enveloping the leaders in a blanket of fire. The warriors dodged skillfully, summoning magical shields as they sent bursts of energy toward the dragon.
Lightning bolts and explosions of magic lit up the dark grey sky, creating a spectacle that would make any mortal fear. The first moments of the contest were favorable to Stone.
His size and power were enormous, and one of his wings struck a warrior with such force that he was sent flying, crashing to the ground. However, despite their enormous strength, the leaders were resourceful and indomitable.
They quickly regrouped, taking advantage of their agility to attack from multiple angles, a coordinated movement that betrayed their experience. One of them, known as Saul the Illuminator, conjured a brilliant spell that enveloped his companions in a blinding light.
As Stone staggered from the glare, another leader, the warrior Selene, summoned a torrent of wind that lifted debris from the ground, throwing it toward the dragon. The rocks became projectiles, and while some bounced harmlessly off his scaly skin, others managed to mark his fury, leaving scratches that shone with a golden glow.
The dragon’s wrath was relentless. With a quick sweep of his tail, he managed to knock down two of the warriors, tossing them aside like leaves in a storm. However, it was like fighting the tide; Purgatory’s leaders returned again and again, their tenacity unwavering.
While Stone focused on one, another attacked from behind, seeking to weaken his defense. The sky grew darker, and lightning danced around them, reflecting the fury of battle. Stone let out a mighty cry that shook the ground, a call to the forces of nature to assist him.
With a wave of his claw, he began to summon rocks suspended in the air, a shower of immense stones that fell like a meteor toward his enemies, but even in the midst of that chaos, the intelligence of the leaders shone through.
As some rocks hit, others rushed to dodge, using their mystical powers to create temporary barriers. Saul, with his strategic mind, devises a desperate plan. "Distract him! We must reach the remnants before it is too late!" she shouted, as she threw a sphere of energy that exploded right in front of Stone, causing him to step back, confused by the flash.
Selene and others silently moved towards the location of the ancient fragments, their eyes shining with ambition. The direction of the fight subtly changed; now, the objective was to seize power.
Stone, aware of this movement, quickly turned, sending a breath of fire toward them, but the magical wind summoned by Selene deflected his breath, turning the attack into a column of smoke and ash.
Both sides fought frantically, the interim leaders of Purgatory trying to dodge the dragon’s claws and the infernal flames, while Stone tried to protect the remnant of the fallen god.
Surprisingly, the leaders were much more skilled and cunning than the dragon had anticipated. Their coordinated movements and combined skills formed a deadly dance that threatened to overwhelm even the winged king.
Minutes turned into hours on that cursed plain. Every blow and counterattack vibrated in the air, every spell cast resonated with ancient echoes. Although Stone had the physical advantage, he understood that facing the collective strategy of the warriors would be more complicated than he had thought.
And in the midst of the battle, when the ferocity reached its climax, the decisive moment arrived: Saul managed to get close to one of the fragments of the fallen god. He extended his hand, almost touching the divine but corrupted light emanating from that reliquary, without realizing that Stone was spinning quickly behind him, his fierce gaze focused on the intruder. In an instant, time seemed to stop.
Stone, with a thunderous roar, swung his claw towards the group, creating a wind so powerful that it threw several warriors to the ground, however, Saul managed to grab onto the light of the fragment, watching as the power began to flow towards him, granting him unimaginable strength.
"No!" Stone screamed, seeing his life essence fade between the fingers of the interim leaders. Vaporous forms of energy began to lift Saul, who felt invulnerable, but the dragon would not give up so easily.
With every fiber of his being, he launched one last assault, a charge that was etched into the memory of the land. The battlefield filled with smoke and flashes, as the fate of both sides hung in the balance.
Stone, enraged, let out a deafening roar that shook the ground and reverberated in the currents of magic itself. The battle continued, intense and brutal, but the outcome remained uncertain.
The echo of the conflict would resonate for centuries to come, a testament to the clash between a dragon king’s primal strength and the Purgatory warriors’ unstoppable cunning. The benefits gained by Saul from touching the remnants of the fallen god were immediately noticed by everyone. Not just those present, but the other dragon kings as well.
Saul had not yet withdrawn the complete remnants, but the corrupted divine energy had already given him many benefits and that would be the most he would get, as the seal would not allow him to remove them easily.
This is not a common seal that can be undone in a short time, but Saul thought of an idea. Despite the corruption that gnawed at him, there was still clarity in his thoughts.
His plan was simple. As he approached the remnant of the fallen god, his strength increased and although he was not yet on par with the dragon king Stone, if all his companions received this same increase, things would change.
He quickly communicated his idea to his companions, who without hesitation executed their movements in a coordinated manner. Stone, seeing that things could get complicated, decided to release all his power.
It’s not that he wasn’t fighting with all his might before, but now he would go for it without being so cautious of his life. He was clear that it was better to sacrifice himself, as long as Purgatory didn’t claim the remnant of the fallen god.
The excessive power released by Stone made the leaders of Purgatory put on serious expression. Immediately, they stopped their movements, because they could see that Stone could kill them if they moved carelessly.
Everyone looked at each other for a few minutes without moving. Stone was waiting for them to turn their backs to reap their lives and the leaders of Purgatory were trying to think of how to avoid him and get closer to the remnant of the fallen god.
The suspense spread throughout the place. The caution is vivid and the tension could be cut with a knife. The valley that once seemed like a hell in battle was now as calm as the waters of a lake. Stay connected via Freewebnovel
At that moment, a powerful force emerged, surprising everyone. Stone smiled as he felt this power, and the leaders of Purgatory were the complete opposite. Their expressions darkened and they couldn’t help but curse.
Seconds later, the figure of a yellow dragon surrounded by lightning appeared in front of everyone, and the oppression that Stone was exerting doubled. "Thank you for coming, Electra," Stone said, and the queen dragon lord of lightning replied, "Don’t worry about it. Let’s get rid of these flies."
