I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 23: Fire Dragon Rampage

"T-this is a fifth grade monster." said the soldier.

A fifth grade monster, a monster that managed to evolve their core five times. This kind of monster is entirely different level than below its grade.

Monsters have stronger and special abilities that make them superior to other races. Usually other races need one grade above the monster grade before finally could beat them.

Because of this, sometimes fifth grade monsters are hailed as walking disasters, a catastrophe, since the sixth grade being is very rare.

Moreover, fifth grade monsters could be hailed as king or queen that command a horde of monsters. Many ancient kingdoms were destroyed in the past because of being attacked by fifth grade monsters and its army.

Fear and hopelessness emerges inside the soldier's heart. The soldiers in the fortress already give up fighting knowing it is the fifth grade monster. Only the general Borkins that still try to fight the monster horde.

*RROOAARRR* During this moment, the soldier heard a beast's roar but not from the forest direction. The loud cry of the beast is from behind the fortress.

Then, ascended a huge fire dragon that burned all the evil treant and monster hordes that tried to scale the fortress wall.

Then, another huge mana aura is released from the sky. The aura disrupts the corrupted mother treant's suppression.

Looking at the source of the mana aura, the soldiers reignited their fighting spirit and morale.

"Duke Victory!!" a soldier shouts loudly towards the man that descended from the sky.

"Hahaha… Brat, You are late." Said the dwarf general while keeping smashing the monster around him.

The duke arrives near the dwarf general and flicks his finger. From his flick appears a wall made of fire [2nd circle - fire wall].

The fire wall burns and fends off all the monsters that are approaching general Borkins. The general felt relief after finally taking a breath since the fight began.

"Borkins, are you alright?" Asked the Duke.

"Ptuih… Yes, still alive and kicking." As the general spat mouthful of blood from his mouth. But, the general didn't mind it at all.

"Alright, what's the situation?" As the duke also keeps burning the approaching monster.

"Like you can see, it's the fifth grade of a corrupted mother treant. However, I found this monster horde is weird."

"The monster horde should be more than this if it is a true fifth grade. Not that I really complain if they are fewer." Said the dwarf general before charge towards the monster again.

"Alright, leave the mother treant to me. Make sure to hold the monster horde as long as you can." As the duke flies away approaching the fifth grade beast while burning all the monsters on the way.

Looking at a dangerous being approaching it, the corrupted mother treant released a few huge tendril towards the duke.

Anticipating such attack, Duke Jacob flick his finger rapidly and create a transparent red barrier around him [3rd Circle - Fire Shield]. *Blam* *Ssshhs* *Blam *Ssshhs*

All the wooden tendrils that meet with [Fire Shield] burned into ash. Then, the duke clasp his arm and creates a huge magic circle with complex runes all around it in front of him.

A second later, a huge burst of fire from it [4th Circle - Inferno]. The [Inferno] burns everything in its path towards the fifth grade monster.

Receiving such an attack, the mother treant could only hide behind its countless wooden tendrils. Smoke arises from the fire and begins to cover it. *GGRRTT*

As waiting for the smoke to clear a little bit, the duke once again gathers his mana while clasping his hand. At this moment, a few huge wooden tendrils appear below him and try piercing him.

However, they are stopped by the [Fire Shield] that surrounds the duke. Suddenly, the duke saw many black wooden spikes come out from the smoke towards him at fast speed.

His battle instinct is tingling and immediately throws his overcharge [Inferno] towards it. But, the wooden spike managed to penetrate it and the [Fire Shield] altogether. *Swish*

Luckily, the duke is quick witted and manages to avoid a fatal wound. Still the duke got pierced in his left shoulder.

'Shit, what the hell is this black wooden spike?' Thought the duke while trying to burn the black wooden spike.

However, the wooden spike still remains intact even after burning it for a while. Left with no choice he grabbed the wooden spike and pulled it from its shoulder. *GRRTT*

The mother treant didn't give him time to recover and kept attacking the duke using a combination of black spike and wooden tendrils.

The duke also not just sitting like a duck and moving away in a random pattern using [Fly].

Suddenly, he heard a femine voice beside the mother treant. then, from the wound in the duke's left shoulder grew a small black plantation.

The duke feels weak and decides to burn his entire shoulder while avoiding the attack from the mother treants.

But, even after he burned it. The plantation seems to keep growing and weakening him while he finally sees a female humanoid creature covered in black leaf keep singing and dancing around the mother treant.

'Shit.. it's Dryad.' Curse the duke inwardly.

During his worst moment, A loud warcry heard from behind the duke. "HIAAAA" As general Borkins flying towards the dryad using powerful [Leap].

Didn't expect sudden appearance of general borkins, the dwarf general hit the dryad using its mighty hammer [Thunderclap]. *Blaarrr*

The attack made a huge sound that reverberated towards the surrounding. The strong attack damaged part of the mother treant and instantly killed the dryad.

The moment the dryad died, the plantation in the duke shoulder stopped growing. After burning it for the last time, The duke said, "Borkins, get out of here. I will cast a huge spell."

Hearing this Borkins immediately uses another leap to get away from the area. Duke Jacob, began his chanting, "Roses are red. Blood fire eternity…"

The duke keeps his chanting while avoiding all the mother treant attack and keeps flickering his finger. Every flick of his finger, he creates more magic circles in front of him.

After a while the duke finish his chant, "....Come forth my soulfire" [5th Circle - Fire Dragon Rampage]

From the magic circle, appear a huge fire dragon engulfing and burning the corrupted mother treant. Unlike before, the fire dragon keep attacking the mother treant and seems like alive

*GRRTTT* After making a huge sound, the monster horde retreat back to black forest while the corrupted mother treant manages to escape after using its countless tendrils as sacrifice to fend off the fire dragon.

Looking at the mother treant retreat, the fire duke finally relieved and collapsed to the ground exhaustedly after having a harsh battle.
