Zeke made sure to wake up the twins to go hunting with him, now that Zeke could take on large mobs of dragons by himself he had begun enjoying an early hunt as a way to wake up plus the dragon souls he could bring home would drastically change his standings in the guild. So far he had gathered several sentient soul gems and almost a sacs worth of basic heart gems, all of which would give him more prestige when he turned them in. He had quite a few sentient heart gems put away, he had learned that he himself didn't gain any power from most of the heart gems in this area. It seems that his current evolution only allowed him to amp up his body if he consumed soul gems of dragons similar to whatever kind he had evolved from. So far he had gained some soul gems from a lucky based sentient dragon and a couple thunder based soul gems that had integrated into his form.
He hadn't seen too much of an increase in power, but he had been having much better luck compared to before his transformation. He assumed that his dragon egg had been of some luck/lightning dragon hybrid, and it had to belong to a grand dragon or maybe something even stronger.
Once again his luck proved strong, a pair of fire elemental sentient dragons flew above the trio as the sun crept above the mountains ahead, the soul gems weren't of use to himself but they were perfect for the twins who had gained quite a few fire elemental abilities thanks to the soul gems given to them by Zeke. They had began to even gain a slight red tint across their fir as well as a change in their eye color from the grey of their house to a bright copper that burned bright even in the darkness. They had begun to radiate a deep heat, no longer needing a campfire for little more than light.
Zeke watch the twin fire dragons above, they were serpent looking with large jaws and bulbous eyes, they had no wings even though they were flying elegantly like a beautiful dance, they were over 5 meters long each and a brilliant red and orange colored scales that reminded zeke of the sunset. " too bad i have to kill you both" zeke muttered as he prepared to jump, " ok cousins, im gonna bring them down to our level, then you two do your thing". Zeke stretched his legs and looked above at his targets and lept into the air. Sadly Zeke could not fly, or he hadn't figured out how to yet, but his physical strength was so high he could jump very high and for very long distances. He grabbed the ends of their tails and excreted a powerful shock stunning the them, he then gave them a good yank rocketing them to the ground below.
Two small dust clouds rose from the ground as the pair of dragons roared in confusion blasting the area around them with huge blasts of fire. Jeffery and Daemon moved like dancers amongst the flames, flipping and twirling past the flames until they closed the distance between them and the pair of fire dragons who had begun to gain motion back in their bodies and had the blood of the fox men on their minds. Jeffery attacked first, pulling his one handed short sword from its sheath, the blade scraped across the scales of his dragon throwing sparks in the air as he slashed. Daemon set his sites and daggers on the other dragon so jeffery could focus on just having to dodge one dragons attack. He launched a barrage of throwing knives at his dragon, they clanged and bounced off the dragons scales. The boys kept up their attacks and Zeke watched just a few yards away, they were no match for the pair of dragons on their own but the pair of dragons only being of the sentient variety were no match for Zeke.
The two dragons roared and began to move more freely as the paralyzing shocks had worn off. So far the twins had done little more than annoy the dragons, who had been so savagely ripped from the sky and slammed to the ground. Their rage could be felt in the air around them as the temperature rose and the moisture disappeared, the edges of the dryer leafs had begun to char and cinder.
Zeke had sat down to watch his cousins, he would intervene in a moment, he wanted the boys to get some good practice in before he killed the dragons. They were amazing fighters in their own right, and before Zeke had evolved they were lightyears ahead of him, but in the face of these two sentient dragons who most likely were preparing to ascend themselves to the next teir in dragon evolutions, the twins looked like amateurs.
Daemon looked over to see Jeffery was having a hard time with his dragon as well, it had began to gain more of its strength back, and its injuries from the fall had begun to heal. "Hey Zeke can we get some back up!" Daemon was out of throwing knives and had equipped his glaives, the blades were unable to even scratch the scales.
Zeke leaned forward and placed his hands on the ground " aye boys! I would get out of the way!" Zeke took a deep breathe, his fur lit up and began to crackle, low at first, then louder and louder, sparks and electrical charges began to pop and dance across his body. He focused on his hand and released the electrical current he had charged in his body. Streams of electricity flooded towards the direction of the dragons, connecting with its targets the dragons wailed as the electricity began to ravage their bodies. Scales and flesh began to peel itself off the dragons revealing meat and muscles, large chunks across their bodies were bare of its protection. Jeffery's dragon had only use of one of its arms, and it had lost both of its eyes which had caused it to spew flames in random directions setting the area ablaze. " what's with these damn dragons and lighting everything on freaking fire!" Shouted Jeffery, " good thing we're fire proof then!" Daemon laughed back.
