Chereads / Rebirth: Epic of the Arcane Dragon / Chapter 12 - Orc Massacre

Chapter 12 - Orc Massacre

In the Orcs settlement. Every orc are busy fighting each other, crushing another. Just like a typical fight for supremacy to be the next leader. Suddenly all became silent as they looked up into the sky.

All orcs get prepared as they can see something is flying fast towards them. When they saw what the intruder was all jaws were dropped. They can't believe what they saw.

They were all wondering the same thing. Why did it appear here? Why is a dragon is here?

Jet Black Scale covered it's whole body. Even if they saw it to be small for a dragon none of them think that it was harmless. Fear, Despair and hopelessness filled their minds.

[Dragon Fear Activated]

All orcs were shaking nonstop. Some lowered their heads, some lost the will to fight. What can they do in front of a dragon except to be slaughtered.

While some were shouting to fight back and some were crying, the dragon opened it's mouth and dark blue mana gathered and condensed together.

[Roar of the Arcane Dragon]

[Damage dealt 20,000]

[Damage dealt 15,000]

Dragon's Roar descended upon them. Those who were hit none of them survived. All perished and died. The surviving orcs looked at their dead companions.

Immense fear filled their minds and shouted in desperations. The crater has fire burning, ice shards, and many other more.

Orc shamans tried to fight back by firing their curses and spells. But none of them affected the dragon by the slightest.

Hope was crushed. They all fired their strongest spells for the sake of hindering it but unexpected thing happened. Just as those spells where going to hit the dragon, the dragon opened it's mouth and devoured all the magic. Suddenly spark of black lighting appears.

[Draconic Magic Activated]

[Lightning Style: Destruction Thunder]

[Damage dealt 16,000]

[Damage dealt 15,500]

[Damage dealt...]

Raging black lightings disintegrated the orcs who were fleing. No body and flesh remains, only ashes could be seen. Almost all the orcs were already exterminated. The remaining orcs has gathered in the center of the settlement.

The desperate shouts of the Orc Chief and Orc Champion could be heard. Preparing to fight. They both dash into the dragon. As they were about to land an attack, ruthless tail smashed the Orc Chief and a sharp claw penetrated the Orc Champion.

Seing the strongest orcs fell easily against the dragon. Disbelief and shock could be seen in their faces.

Despair. All orcs despaired. Knowing their demise is coming. All of them felt frustrated.

None of them could do anything. None of them could fight back. None of them could save someone.

It's a total massacre.

They all remembered what their ancestors told and passed into them. What is the strongest being in the world? Their ancestors answered the same thing.

Dragons. They are the apex, the pinnacle and the absolutes. No one can defy them. None can win against them. Even the Gods feared them.

Now they all witnessed what a dragon is capable of. All closed their eyes and accepted their death. None of them questioned why this all happened. All of them thought none of them are qualified to question a dragon.

All of them suddenly felt scorching heat. Cries of pain can be heard everywhere. Black flames appeared and burned them all.

[Fire Style: Prominence Inferno]

The Orc Settlement which were lively before were totally destroyed for a short amount of time. None of the orcs survived.

Burning and wreckage could be seen everywhere. The dragon descended and looked not bothered by it's destruction that it caused. Dark blue mana surrounded it's whole and began to shrink.

[Universal Shapeshift Activated]

A boy with a dark blue hair who look like a 12 years old appears. He look emotionless. All his attention where directed at his system notifications.

Cedrick looked at the notifications with satisfaction.

"Not bad. A good harvest. Maybe I should look for settlements in the future."

After exterminating the orcs Cedrick went to look for his companions.

(Josh POV)

"I'm more than enough. Just stay at safe distance and watch. I'll show why a Dragon is feared."

Having said that Cedrick revealed his true Dragon Form. He flies to the direction of the orcs.

Claire has been shocked by his sudden transformation on the other hand Josh eyes were filled with reverence and worship.

"Is he gonna be okay?"

Claire asked in worrying something bad might happen to him.

"Instead of saying that. You should pray for the orcs instead."

Josh immediately replied as he knew how powerful the dragons are. His father who is the strongest barbarian in the current era had told him that even him can't defeat a dragon. He especially told him that nobody can except another dragon.

Even if another transcended being can disable their Absolute Defense, defeating and killing the dragon is a different matter.

Josh eyes if filled with excitement and anticipation for having the chance of witnessing a dragon in action.

Both of them arrived on a hill that have a clear view on the settlement. They saw Cedrick on the sky looking down on the orcs.

They saw the disbelief of the orcs for witnessing an absolute species. They had watched the whole process of Cedrick's massacre.

The desperate cries, despaire of the orcs. Everything. Both of them were shocked of the power displayed by the Arcane Dragon. Even Josh who somewhat expected this was still shocked by the disaster.

"So this is a dragon's power? So strong."

He muttered in disbelief about how can this kind of power exist.

"I want it. I want to be strong as Cedrick-sama as well."

Determination to be strong filled his will. It was at this moment the world would be shocked. A world message appeared.

[Due to having witnessed a great power. The descendant of War God Castro has become a Legend.]

[The Legendary Barbarian has been born.]

Cedrick closed his status window and pondered.

"I have leveled up by 25. My stats growth is massive. I have grown to the point I can massacre monsters with ease."

"I had only came in this world yesterday yet I am already level 45. My growth is very fast. Is it because I am a dragon?"

As Cedrick was pondering his fast growth. Saphira answered him.

{Master's growth is indeed impressive that it became unnatural. But you don't have to worry anything master.}

Hearing her reassuring him Cedrick did not reply instead attentively listened to Saphira.

{There were many factors leading to Master's massive growth.}

{Don't forget about your Innate Skills. It gives you a massive headstart from the others. Let me explain it to you one by one Master.}

"Go on. I'm listening."

{First skill is me. I can give you any answer you desire and will not search it on your own. I helped you save time.}

{Second your Immortality. It's making you fearless as you believe your enemies can't kill you. In addition with the Dragon's Absolute Defense this makes it more plausible.}

{Third is your talent and adaptability. As you have gain new knowledge and skills you can use it to maximum efficiency just like how you are using Draconic Magic.}

{Fourth is your Foresight. You can use Ultimate Foresight avoiding the obstacles and having a clear idea on what to do.}

{Lastly it is also because you are a Dragon. But you are different from other dragons Master.}

Hearing it is related to the dragons Cedrick seriously listened as this was about the Absolute Species.

{From the moment a dragon is born. A hatchling you may call, it needs protection from it's parent. A hatchling needs to sleep for a thousand years to fully understand the Dragon's Knowledge before they become an Absolute.}

{The condition for a dragon to become an Absolute existence is to fully comprehend and understand the Dragons Knowledge that every dragon has inherited. This is the main reason why a dragon always sleep and only wake up on an important times.}

Hearing this what Saphira said Cedrick's eyes widened. A flash of thought came to mind. Before Cedrick could respond Saphira continued.

{Just as you have thought Master. You didn't need to go through the thousand years of sleeping to become an absolute. Your unique among the dragons. You don't need sleep like they do but you can become stronger at faster rate than them.}

"I understand. Thank you Saphira without you I might still be clueless."

{It is my duty and honor to serve Master.}

Saphira replied with a happy, contented and a lovely voice. Cedrick smiled hearing it.

While having nothing do to while walking. Cedrick opened the system main menu and looked at the available quests.

Cedrick looked at his quests with delight. Two of these quests is nearing their accomplishments. Cedrick excitement rised as he looked at the rewards waiting for him.

Cedrick glanced into the third Quest.

"This might be difficult right now but that will not be the case in the future. It's just a matter of time. I had already annihilated two monster tribes while being in this world only in two days so I don't see any reason for this quest to be impossible."

As Cedrick was in deep thought, A world message appeared in front of him.

[World Message]

[Due to having witnessed a great power. The descendant of War God Castro has become a Legend.]

[The new Legendary Barbarian has been born.]

Cedrick froze after reading the world message.

[Cold Blooded Activated]

Calming himself Cedrick immediately thought for a moment.

"He has the title 'One who Will Become a Legend' so it's quite possible but to become a legend already."

{Well it cannot compared to Master who became a Legend the day he came at this world.}

Saphira replied nonchalantly but Cedrick could sense her pride in her words.

"That's true. But becoming a Legendary Barbarian just by witnessing my power today is quite impressive."

"Hmm. Saphira can you send me the informations regarding about Legends. I want a better understanding as I am one of them."

{I understand Master}

Cedrick mind was flooded by information and Cedrick smiled and muttered in a low voice.

"This world is really interesting isn't it Saphira?"

{It is Master.}

Cedrick looked up to the sky and and muttered something.

"This is exhilarating."
