Chapter 1711 Who Will Know? -Part 33
Realising that the grip of tentacles had been loosening from the death of the Older Quacken, the Fira Dragon took whatever chance it could to grab onto the corpse of the dead monster ship and climbed out of the moat. The younger Quacken was definitely not able to restraint such a huge monster and it was pretty obvious that the Fira Dragon wanted to get out of the water as soon as possible which led to the Fira Dragon flying out of the water and the remaining crew of Quacken had been carried up as well.
"Release your tentacles you stupid duck! Do you really want to die?" The captain of the leftover Quacken shouted at the new born version of the Quacken. Apparently, how Quacken lives from a severe wound was through division of cells but that was the only trick they could do once they reached a certain age or level of experience since the Dungeon World was mostly based on such a metric. If they did not, then their demise was imminent.
So for the new Quacken to survive, it needs to survive its child like state for at least a year or get sufficient experience that it could accelerate its growth. Thus it did not make sense for the younger Quacken to remove its tentacles away from the Fira Dragon when it knew that it was injured enough for a kill. In order to gain victory, the Quacken attempted to absorb the dying tentacles that had still been wrapped around the Fira Dragon in hopes that it could bring the monster down.
Angrily, the Fira Dragon tried its best to shake it away from it as it gained flight. In short, it was carrying the younger Quacken and a few of its crew mates who had yet to jump out of the boat when the incident happened.
So, what Jin and the others saw was a Fira Dragon with a half broken boat on its back climbing up the altitude so that it could shake it off. However, the Mechanical monster had no idea that all of the Battle Airships were already aiming against it and was ready to fire the moment the Quacken had been dropped out of the sky.
"Argh, this stubborn duckface! Those who are still able. Shoot the shit out of the dragon so that we would die splatting on the ground!" The captain of Quacken shouted as he too personally manned a fixed gun emplacement on Quacken and started pouring lead into the Fira Dragon's wings.
"Time is running out," Jin said as he checked his time from the System Console he was left with only a few minutes and the 10 minute rule was about to expire.? "You guys, lend me your jet boosters,"? Jin asked and he quickly strapped a pair on his hip. "Stay here and watch the full show. I will deal with the Fira Dragon…well hopefully before we return back to the underground basement."
With his Maqi charged, the jet boosters on his hip increased his speed by multifold and allowed him to reach Taris City General's position. "My Lord, Apologises. I do not think that we are able to fulfill the time limit that you had asked for." He knelt and asked for forgiveness but Jin did not care about that and kept looking at the Fira Dragon's movement.
"Tell the Battle Airships to start shooting at it. Lend me your Wall Breaker Lance and your mages as well." Jin said as he already raised his hand out. Taris City General immediately acknowledged and readily gave the Lance to his master. "Do you have a spare?" Jin asked before Yaega was able to shout out for the mages.
"Yes, Demopolis made quite a few to my surprise thinking this was a one of a kind customised item. They said it was customised and each of the other iterations was a few percentage stronger." Yaega replied.
"So, if I destroy this, you can just fall back to an older Wall Breaker Lance before getting a new one?" Jin asked once more and the General nodded solemnly.
"Nice, System. Be kind and not to bill him for the next lance."
"The System will deduct from the User's profit instead."
"Fine by me, I can't see the money anyway." Jin smiled as he stepped aside a little and prepared his stance. Taris Mages quickly arrived when the General called and Jin told them to give him a boost up in the air.
"Not sure if you guys have the spells but fly, charge, boost, overboost, limited boost," Jin said as he too was charging up his Maqi to be in conjunction with those spells.
"My Lord, we have all of those. We can do weapon damage amplification as well as lightning charge." When the Taris City Mages heard it, they knew that Jin was going for a one shot kill while flying since they knew there was a time limit attached to this particular dungeon instance.
"Now that's excellent service. Give me all of that." Even before Jin could finish his sentence, the Taris City Mages had already taken the initiative to mumble the incantations. Meantime, Yaega had also relayed instructions to tell the Battle Airships to fire at will.
Without hesitation and straight after the sentence ended, the battle airships released their barrage of shells against the monster without mercy. The younger Quacken was unfortunately caught in the mess of it as well and the pain from those shrapnels and explosive force had finally caused it to release its tentacles and listen to the captain.
"Aye you dumbass duckface, follow my instructions and you can land on the moat!" The Captain shouted and used the ship's steering wheel, which used the rudder to slap the Quacken's butt. The duckface listened to it and tried to move as much as possible based on the slapping position. Eventually, it managed to land in the water with a huge splash and every ship around it hastily crowded around it to see if the crew on board needed help.
However, the one that needed help would be none other be the Fira Dragon.
