Chapter 36 - Ch. 36 Helpless

Upset I quickly fire a beam of light at the strange creature killing it instantly but at that moment I felt like the air it's self shook. Then the sky suddenly started to turn dark. Looking up I see countless red eyes have encompassed the sky of the kingdom the little people below are running in chaos to hide in the little buildings. I assume these aren't friendly to them either. Otherwise they'd probably be attacking me with them. As I assume that I immediately let loose and start up regenerating and ripping off little peace of the pigeon as it grows into a raven as quick as possible and every point the pieces of my greenier drops to immediately becomes a ocean of cannons which I am charging as soon as they are formed. The eyes in the sky have seen all of this and are clearly very upset and immediately charge. As I see them coming I let loose my cannons as the sky lights up immediately and the little red lights that are in the sky in the millions start flashing out of existence 20-40 at a time with each shot as all the thousands of cannons go off and more are spawning from the ground as my raven is being properly prepared. While it won't be the best it'll be useful against these tiny ones. I immediately flap my wings and take off to fight them in the sky after it's sharp talons has formed properly while they are bark they are somewhat like thorns. As the raven takes off it begins shredding it's way through the strange creatures while they do some damage to the raven here and there my regeneration seems to keep it together as the numbers of the strange creatures quickly dwindle away. After who knows how long the sky is clear again. I look over to see what appears to be the first sun set I've ever seen in this world and as the light comes over the horizon that seems to cloak the land in it's brightness I find the temperature rising at a bizarrely fast rate.

As I watch curiously wondering how hot this sun will make the world around me I see the countless little people below appear to being rushed to what looks like an underground area, they appear to be mildly afraid of my turrets below after seeing them shoot down all the bats but they don't seem to care that much either running around them like they were just another building. I am curious of there behavior but as I watch them all rush into the underground shelters I notice that the heat is getting worse and worse. Quickly looking up I notice the sun is getting bigger. With that thought it mind I watched in confusion and mild amazement as a might flaming ball at a impossible speed suddenly appears in the sky within moments, looking down again I notice all the humans have already escaped below ground. Cautiously I decide to open fire again. I mean not a big deal for me just gonna kill off some random stuff I can replace instantly even if it destroys me. I immediately drop my raven down to the ground planting it's legs into the ground and producing a tree as fast as possible. While I watch the countless beams of light suddenly breaking through the giant ball of fire like rain on the surface of the ocean. Watching this I confused. Is it working? Is something controlling the giant ball of fire? Is it a dragon? If so this kingdom is gonna go bye bye... I think this might be a little my fault. Stretching my growth speed as fast as possible as my cannons expand while still cooling in order so I can be constantly firing at the giant ball of fire. Curiously nothing new has occurred no matter how much I fire upon the ball it just seems to ignore my actions entirely. Eventually I get medium size light cannons formed and begin firing them at the ball.

The larger beams of light while op before seem minor now just hail on the surface of the ocean as opposed to rain. Ripples seem to spread out from each contact as the light beams piece into it and spread out over and over. Over time more and more of the cannons are formed to the medium cannons and the earliest ones begin to fire somewhat bigger beams in between firing as they cool growing incrementally. Over time the entire flaming orb seems to be shaking. I am less interested in hurting it as I am curious what this thing is. I feel like something is inside and it's watching me... And is amused? I don't quite know I just feel it's emotions. It's entertained but a small creature that's doing nothing to it... Immediately I'm enraged and begin to try to expand the cannons as fast as possible until there is a humongous forest of cannons made of green aiming towards the orb and they all fire at once. As I fired I realize my rage has also effected the creature at the center of the orb and suddenly it fell. I finally get to see what the beams of light are doing to the orb as it gets closer and it annoyed me even more as I see the beams of light acting like streamers in an inferno burning away by the abnormal heat. I cannot even explain how that's possible... Light cannot burn... right? As the orb fell I realized how help I am against this creature and suddenly all of the forest vanished. The kingdom along with it. The only thing that remains is the blackened earth a few melted stone structures that are still red and a door made of unknown material that the humans escaped through. Not to mention myself. A long tree in the middle of a blackened waste land. As I look up at once was a giant flaming orb I spot the winged dragon yet again. It isn't looking at the tree body but me. It's staring into my eyes as it stared I can feel the overwhelming condescension and annoyance. As it looked into my eyes I also spotted a faint smirk on the scaly face when suddenly it flapped it's wings and ran off into the distance. My horror comes when I realize that is the direction at which my main body is. I am entirely unaware of directions and distances up here but I can feel which direction the connection between us is. Hoping it's just returning home I abandoned my lone tree and immediately move my body back to my home. I immediately start using earth magic to cover the cities as I can feel it... It's coming for me. It won't take long with it's speed till it's here. I have no clue how it could get to me but I entirely encapsulate the three kingdoms in rock and use everything I have to gently sink them deeper beneath the ground I didn't have to work hard for the drakes just a bit like moving it further down so the hill is hidden but the other to took a lot of work. The three cities seem to be panicking as this happens but I couldn't care less.
