The Gamer's System

Chapter 136: Nightmare

[Failed. You have two tries left.]

"Figures. I knew it won't be that easy to make it obey me." Zeke told himself.

On that instance, Zeke remembered that even for the generals, he has only had success win [Conjuring] one, no more no less. But this didn't stop Zeke from trying to reanimate the [Chaos Dragon] because there were two more chances left on the soul before it shatters completely.

"Conjure." Zeke said again, setting the tongue of fire ablaze but, ultimately getting the same feedback as before.

[Failed. You have one try left.] The flame's light became feeble, as if a single blow of wind could take it out entirely.

"Can you cut me some slack here? I'm trying to save the world you know." He said as he raised his hand toward the flame. He poured out his mana and tried speaking to the flame as he gave the same command for the last time.

"Conjure." 

The flame grew even bigger than before, with the sound of a [Dragon's] heartbeat vibrating on the whole sky; pushing back all the clouds that were nearby. And this time, Zeke was sure that the dragon would come out. But 

It broke.

[Failed. The soul of the Chaos Dragon is now shattered. Congratulations.]

"Of course this would happen." Zeke thought to himself, knowing that [Conjuring} a creature such as the [Chaos Dragon] was a difficult feat to accomplish. And so, he decided to try something else. 

Zeke brought out all the fully charged bullets that he had and, as he rode the [Chaos Wyvern Conjure] he charged some more, going straight to the location of the two [Chaos Dragons] which had the same goal as the first one that died.

Zeke continued charging the bullets on his hands, burning it up with black mana as this was diverted to these small objects on his hands. This time, Zeke made sure that the [Chaos Dragons] would see him and, the human finally began his assault.

"Conjure." Zeke animated two of his [Soldier Conjures] with one riding on each dragon.

The gamer proceeded to [Shadow Diving] on one of the two. As soon as he was mounted, Zeke immediately released [Flash Freeze] which he thought could work on the dragons. But, as soon as he did, his enemy began generating the same cloak of flames that he encountered on the first [Chaos Dragon].

"Sub Zero" Zeke continued creating an even stronger freeze effect which began enclosing the creature's body in ice.

This would have worked if not for the other dragon entering the scene and firing normal flames on Zeke. The gamer was able to dodge these and went for the back of the second dragon. Unlike the first one however, this [Chaos Dragon] felt Zeke's presence and immediately released the armor of flames.

However, quick was also quick to take action. He used [Sub Zero] on the get go instead of [Flash Freeze]. The creature screamed in pain but, as expected, the dragons had each other's back and so, Zeke was in a real pickle. 

"Don't worry. I don't need you guys completely frozen." Zeke mentioned.

As mentioned, the scales of the dragons were unlike any other. In fact, these scales are so sturdy that even elemental attacks prove to be futile against them. That is how strong the exterior of the [Chaos Dragons] actually were.

But if there was one thing that Zeke learned when he was still on earth, it was that anything frozen strongly enough was easier to shatter. Adding to the fact that the freezing level reached [Sub Zero] the particles within the object will get disrupted and thus, if Zeke shatters this, then ultimately the [Chaos Dragons] would sustain heavy damage.

Bu Zeke knew better than to simply rely on this chance alone. Although costly with his [Mana Points] Zeke summoned a couple of [Chaos Wyverns] which were infused with [Detonates] of [Sub Zero]. 

"Let's see how well you fair with this combination shall we?" Zeke said, watching the [Chaos Wyverns] begin their job.

Adding to the whole combination, Zeke also increased their speed. Enabling the [Conjured] creatures to inevitably hit the [Chaos Dragons] which screamed in pain every time they got frozen. It was only temporary of course but, with both of them receiving the same fate over and over again, the [Chaos Dragons] accumulated damage and, the effects of freezing.

Then, Zeke finally went and performed the next phase of his attack. If there was one area where the [Chaos Dragons] didn't have any flame armor on, it was their eyes. And, Zeke didn't miss the opportunity to use this against them. He drank up three [Large Mana Potions] and finally set the remaining parts of the plan into motion.

If there was one thing that Zeke was known for back on earth, it was the versatility of his tactics and, their inducement with insanity on too many occasions to keep count. And, Zeke displayed this on the current battle as he said:

"Conjure."

All [2,000 Conjured Creatures] appeared on the sky, confusing the dragons which began attacking everything on sight. They fired their flames on the creatures but, as soon as some of them died Zeke simply summoned new ones making an infinite loop which the [Chaos Dragons] needed to deal with.

Yet, Zeke's plan wasn't to simply irritate the dragons. It was to have one shadows appear all over the place as, the bodies of the conjured creatures would inevitably overlap. Making use of this, Zeke finally [Shadow Dived] appearing right in front of a [Chaos Dragon's] face. He used [Flash Rush] mixed with both [Air Step] and [Overdrive]; ensuring that the beast would not be able to catch up to his movements.

Then, in a fluid sequence of actions, Zeke stabbed the eye of the [Chaos Dragon] throwing in the bullets soon after and shouting:

"Detonate."

He placed half of the charged bullets on the first dragon's eye and, this was the outcome: Because of the freezing, the scales of the [Chaos Dragon] was nowhere as tough as it was supposed to be. At that moment, the Dragon began tearing apart. This was too fast to notice but, nothing hindered its body from getting torn into pieces as it got consumed by spiral of darkness.

The other dragon watched in horror and, finally decided to charge up its [Chaos Flames] which Zeke delighted on very much. He counted down again while riding his [Chaos Wyvern]. At that moment, he already recalled most of his summons, knowing that the same tactic won't work twice and, at two seconds left. He threw the bullets into the mouth of the creature, firing at it and, sending the same spiraling whirl of death to the dragon.

"What on earth is that?" A soldier exclaimed which was the same sentiment shared by his fellow troops.

Down below, these said soldiers have just reached the are where Zeke planted his [Chaos Poison Clouds]. But it seemed that this much wasn't needed because the remains of the [Chaos Dragons] now began falling from the sky. This came in large chunks of [Chaos Black Flames] burning any soldier that it came into contact with.

"Make a barrier! Defenders do your jobs properly!" One of the commanding generals said, covering them from one of the weirdest attacks that they have ever experienced in their lives. And while they tried to cling for dear life, Zeke already began attempting to reanimate both [Chaos Dragons].

The souls resisted his call a couple of times. In fact, they resisted twice already and, one of the two even shattered completely but, upon reaching the ground, fortune finally favored the gamer who smiled in excitement.

"That is what I call a good summon." Zeke came crashing down, riding on top of the remains of the [Chaos Dragon]. This sent a cloud of dust which blew at the barrier of the soldiers, disrupting their field of vision for a short while. But, as soon as this cleared, the soldiers saw the elf coming out of what they recognized to be the remains of a [Chaos Dragon].

"Impossible! How can this be!" Another general exclaimed, wanting to run away at that exact moment because whatever it was that could take out a [Chaos Dragon], she wanted no part on dealing with it.

"Ahh perfect." Zeke said, seeing the troops reach the area of his trap.

"You guys would be a good first meal for him. I bet he's hungry right now."

The soldiers all backed down as they saw something else emerge from the carcasses of the fallen [Chaos Dragon]. Out came wings which oozed with the color of deathly darkness. Claws soon followed, large enough to topple over a whole fortress all on its own. And then came the tail, sweeping over some of the soldiers and sending them flying.

Flames soon enveloped the whole area, leaving the soldiers with no other choice but to face this creature that they finally recognized. Its head stood high and proud and its whole body was covered with scales too sturdy to even dent. It made a sound, like a creature from the depths of hell would after waking up from its slumber.

The creature's mouth had flames oozing out of it and its eyes gleamed the same predator crimson as its master. It stepped on the carcass which was its mortal flame and burnt it down immediately. Every move it took made the earth tremble which was the same trembling on the legs of the soldiers.

The enemies wanted to run away immediately. They wanted to go into hiding but there was no means of escape for them. The fire instantly burned all who tried to escape and, aside from this, Zeke surrounded them with [Conjured Creatures].

"This must be a dream." One of the soldiers said and Zeke was able to hear this.

"No you got it all wrong sir. This isn't a dream." Zeke ordered his [Conjures] to begin the carnage before he went on to saying.

"This is nightmare."
