A Mesa was a geographical feature of a mountain but with a flat top, Damian didn't know it was a Mesa as it's top was covered by clouds but now he knew and was going to get on the top but not in a way he hoped.
His mind scribbled for solutions, he's Qi had only regenerated a little and couldn't help him assess his elemental ability but it could help him transform into something for thirty seconds which was the exact time needed for him to hit the ground.
He had no bird bloodline, but he did have a cat and a spider bloodline both which excel at quick reflex so which will it be, * BOOM *, Damian crashed into the flat hard mountain top causing a crater and a mist of dust.
The draconic man hovered above the mist with a serious expression on his face, after some moments the smoke cleared up revealing unharmed Damian lying limply with his face to the sky.
" I didn't expect a demon soul to be killed so facilely, but what do I even bother " the dragon man said as he landed besides the limp Damian who was more or less dead, at the final act to redeem himself he transformed into a rhino to absorb the impact it was better safe than hopeful.
The humanoid dragon grabbed him by the ankle and dragged him along, although he was limp he was still alive but weakened by a strange feeling that coursed through his veins the moment he landed here, this was the same feeling he felt back at the coven where he got into this whole mess.
The ground felt smooth, very smooth…, as a matter of fact too smooth as it felt like they dragged him across ultra smooth tiles that which gave him some comfort as the next sensation that ran through him was disastrous.

" Hang in there mate I don't need you dieing on me, or my escape ritual wouldn't work " the dragon said noticing the Damian's veins and arteries amplifying while glowing in a eerie purple light, this travelled all over his body and soon it started to twitch as an unbearable pain surged through his brain.
" AHHHHHH " Damian screamed in pain frightening the dragon causing it to let go of his leg, He squirmed like a worm screaming and shouting as his skin fell of due to a strange source of heat only him felt, " Ah Shit, not now asshole " The dragon said and grabbed him by the neck before fly to another part of the mesa.
This part although still flat was rougher and had intriguing patterns which were carved on the ground, those intriguing patterns circled themselves to form a network of what seemed to be a blood ritual.
At the middle was a upward faced spike and behind the spike was an altar, the draconic man walked up to before rasing Damian to the sky and stabbing him into the spike,* BOOM, BAM, BOOM *, Echos of a violent clash reached the ears of those who stood on the mesa, informing them that two behemoths were bringing their epic fight to them.
Damian on the other hand hadn't stop squirming as his bones snapped out of place and his muscles ruptured bit by bit, black Blood endlessly streamed down his distorted form filling the network of patterns.
" I have to be quick before those idiots catch me again " the draconic man said as he quickly climbed the altar before chanting an incantation and waving his hands to form symbols, * BOOM, BOOM, BOOM *, " Shit, Shit, Shit " The dragon said chanting the spell faster.
An azure light overwhelmed Damian's now still body and a fist sized rune came out of his forehead, " Yes, Yes, Yes " the draconic man said as the rune of dimensional travel floated towards him, but Damian's leg abruptly kicked the rune away as it was about to enter the man's hands.
" NOOOOOOOOOO " He screamed as he watched his ticket to freedom fly into the depths of this forsaken planet, he quickly dove after it plummeting down the eighteen thousand meters high mountain, slowly Damian rose from the spike naked and his half skeletal body staggering like a zombie, almost all his muscles were gone and his organs dropped bit by bit to the ground each echoing with a sickening thud.
He walked towards the edge of the mountain leaving a trail of blood behind him, anyone who saw him would be amazed at how he was still moving, he was even amazed but wasn't just himself as he felt like he was evolving into something familiar to him.
Unclear memories rampaged through his brain but he didn't care and continued moving forward, a blue flame ignited on his walking corpse of a body recreating it cell by cell, tissue by tissue, organ by organ, system by system and soon a whole new creature stood at the edge of the mountain.
Formally standing at 6'2 feet, the new Damian stood at 6'5, his naked body more toned than before giving of the impression that it was forged by the Supreme Creator himself through the furnace of Hephaestus, with an alabaster colored skin and moderately tightened muscles.
His face was another tale of it's own, even the combination of the God and Goddess of beauty couldn't stand before as a match even if his beauty was reduced by ninety nine percent, his glimmering dual coloured eyes sealed a mysterious untold energy.
To crown everything up were two magnificent black wings which extended magnificently from his back and purple twin sprouts of horns standing elegantly on his forehead, " So after Valkazon's betrayal I get sent into the body of a human, how pathetic " he said turning around to meet a humanoid creature fly straight to him.
He stood still and unfazed even when it reached a millimeter away from his face, * BOOM *, He caught it like as if he has been waiting for it's slow arrival for years, " A Chaos Ape " he said with a smirk as he gazed at the body of what he just caught.
It looked exactly like a twenty three year old stunning female human but had a monkey tail and abnormally long finger nails and long terrifying fangs, wearing an extremly expositive blue gown adorned with jewels which expressed royalty, she protectively held her little child in her arms, he flung her to his left side and caught a fist that was aimed directly at his face.
" Ohh, so all that noise were from two blood rivals destined to kill each other, a Chaos Ape and an Arcane Dragon " he said intensifying his grip on the fist causing some popping sound to be heard, this one was still a female but a dragon instead, she had azure coloured dragon horns and wings, she was dressed like an adventurer from earth with a crop top and leggings.
One thing that surprised Damian was that they both held their children while fighting and still managed to protect their young ones while causing a lot of destruction, he sighed and forcefully took the dragon girl's child before flinging her away like a crumbled piece of paper.
He walked up to the chaos Ape queen who was now recovering from the attack shock and grabbed her baby from her arms, she protested by trying to take the child back but he kick her away breaking her jaw in the process.

This holographic screen made him pause as he was about to stomp on the pretty face of the ape woman, the dragon girl dived upon him causing him to lose concentration but he flung her off and jumped some meters back.

A wild grin found it's way to Damian's face as he clicked on the ' Yes ' option, he gazed at the weaker creatures that lay below him scowling to get their children back and a brilliant idea ran through his mind.
