Twilight loomed over the vast forest as **General Varkon** led his formidable draconic army through the thick vegetation. Though the first human villages had easily fallen to his relentless force, he knew that this territory was not only inhabited by humans and orcs. This was a wild domain, where multiple races and creatures had claimed their territory.
Flying in his draconic form above the trees, Varkon scanned the terrain with his keen eyes. He noticed movement in the shadows of the trees, furtive presences slipping through the undergrowth. They were more than just orcs or humans. His nose detected the stench of sulfur and rotting flesh, and a low roar echoed in his chest as he recognized his next opponents.
**[System Notification: Attack force detected at 15 kilometers. Composition: Forest Trolls, Centaurs, and Elemental Beasts.]**
Varkon landed among his troops, his draconic presence imposing and majestic. **Draconian Super Soldiers** surrounded him, ready for combat.
"Our next enemy is neither human nor orc," Varkon announced, his voice booming like thunder. "We face forest trolls, centaurs, and elemental beasts. They are formidable foes, but none of them can match our strength. Advance with caution, but show no mercy!"
The draconians roared in response, and Varkon led them north, where the enemy presence grew more palpable with each step.
As the draconian army burst into a clearing, they were greeted by an ambush. Huge trolls emerged from the trees, swinging clubs the size of tree trunks, while centaurs, bows in hand, launched arrows at blinding speed. The elemental beasts, composed of rock and fire, rose from the earth, creating a barrier of fire and stone to trap the draconians.
Varkon, in his draconic form, launched himself at the trolls. With a roar, he breathed out a torrent of fire that incinerated two of them instantly. However, a third troll, larger and more cunning, managed to dodge the attack, charging at him with force. The impact caused the ground to shake, but Varkon counterattacked with his sharp claws, shattering the troll's skull.
The **Super Draconian Soldiers** spread out across the battlefield, facing the centaurs and elemental beasts. The centaurs' arrows slammed harmlessly into the draconic scales, while the draconians responded with blasts of fire and lightning, incinerating their attackers. The elemental beasts, however, proved to be difficult opponents. With each blow received, they reconstituted themselves, feeding on the environment.
Varkon, aware of the danger, ordered his soldiers to concentrate their attacks on the beasts. With a combination of draconic magic and physical power, they managed to overcome the beasts' regeneration, destroying them one by one. The battlefield was filled with smoke, ash, and the smell of burning flesh.
Finally, after a fierce battle, the clearing fell silent. The bodies of trolls, centaurs, and elemental beasts lay scattered across the ground. The draconians had triumphed, although the confrontation had been more difficult than expected.
**[System Notification: The Draconic General has annihilated a combined force of trolls, centaurs, and elemental beasts. +200 gold coins.]**
Varkon looked at the battlefield with a mix of satisfaction and concern. He knew this would not be the last resistance he would encounter on his mission of extermination, but with each victory, his army grew stronger and more feared.

Meanwhile, deep within the **Abyssal Depths Dungeon**, Lu Ming and his group advanced cautiously. Kaelthar, the **Draconic Priest**, walked beside him, sensing the vibrations of ancient magic in the air.
As they descended, the passageways grew darker and narrower, until they reached a vast underground chamber, illuminated by a dim, reddish glow. They were not alone. Nightmarish creatures emerged from the shadows: winged demons, skeletal guardians with flaming swords, and giant serpents with eyes of fire. They were horrors they had not seen on the surface, guardians of the dungeon's secrets.
"Prepare for combat!" Lu Ming ordered, invoking his **Lightning Control**. A storm of lightning rained down from the cavern ceiling, striking the creatures that lunged at them.
The winged demons were the first to attack, swooping down with supernatural speed and strength. Kaelthar raised his staff, summoning a protective shield that deflected the first attacks, while the **Draconian Soldiers** cut down the enemies with precision and ferocity.
The skeletal guardians, with flaming eyes,Glowing red, they charged into the front line of the draconians. Their flaming swords left a trail of ash in the air as they attempted to break through the draconian defenses. But the **Draconian Soldiers** responded with their claws and swords, blocking and countering each blow. Bones cracked and broke under the fury of their attacks.
The giant snakes slithered through the ranks, attempting to entangle the soldiers and crush them with their bodies. However, Kaelthar, in one fluid movement, channeled magical energy through his staff and released a surge of holy flames that engulfed the creatures, causing them to writhe and burn until nothing but ash remained.
As the battle continued, the number of enemies seemed endless. However, Lu Ming and his army fought with fierce determination. With each creature that fell, Lu Ming's power grew, feeling the dark energy of the dungeon flow into him, fueling his thirst for power.
Finally, after an endless succession of battles, the last creatures fell, and a deathly silence filled the chamber. Lu Ming, exhausted but triumphant, felt a change in the air. A powerful energy gathered around him, and a system notification appeared before his eyes.
**[System Notification: You have risen to level 20. New skills unlocked.]**
Lu Ming let out a sigh of relief and satisfaction. He knew this was just the beginning of something bigger. As he progressed further into the dungeon, his power continued to increase, and now, with his new level, he was more prepared than ever to face any threat.
Meanwhile, Kaelthar and the remaining soldiers gathered their forces, preparing for whatever might still be lurking in the depths of the dungeon. They knew the road to victory would be long and dangerous, but with each battle won, they were one step closer to total domination.
The chapter ends with Lu Ming and his army preparing for what is to come, as he reflects on the new skills he has acquired and how he will use them in the battle for control of the dungeon and, eventually, the world.
