The warning from the elven leader lingered in Erlan's mind—a great threat loomed: the Betrayer, a dark dragon capable of rivaling his ∞ elemental power. Determined not to underestimate this danger, Erlan ordered his trusted advisors—Tharok, Nixara, and Vulkrad—to gather information about the legend. However, before they could act, troubling reports arrived about suspicious activity among northern vampires.
Descending from the skies with urgent news, Zephyros, Erlan's loyal wind dragon, addressed his king.
"A horde of vampires from the North has crossed our borders. They are led by Lutharion, a vampire prince known for his mastery of dark magic. They head towards the mountains near Solaria."
Erlan's tone hardened. "If they dare step into our lands, they will witness the true power of dragons. Send Tharok and the earth dragon battalions to guard the borders. I will confront them personally if required."
The system chimed with a new notification:

With Nixara and Vulkrad by his side, Erlan journeyed to the reported site. Along the way, they encountered mercenaries hired by the vampires. These human forces posed little threat to the combined might of Erlan and his mythical dragon companions. Erlan obliterated half the enemy with Void Collapse, which devoured them into nothingness, while Nixara froze the survivors.
Arriving at the snowy northern mountains, they found the vampires fortifying their camp. Erlan launched a sudden assault, triggering a massive clash between dragons and vampires. Lutharion wielded dark spells to corrupt the minds of Erlan's younger dragons. But Erlan's Elemental Mastery nullified the magic, restoring his forces' resolve.
Lutharion, forced into direct combat, attacked Erlan with shadow spells. In retaliation, Erlan unleashed Cosmic Inferno, an apocalyptic blaze that consumed the snowy plains and sent Lutharion fleeing. As he escaped, the vampire prince uttered a dire warning:
"The Betrayer has risen. Soon, even you will fall to his might."
