CHAPTER 61: Into the Dragon's Pit(Part 6)

The visitors entered the Lair of the worm Dragon. It was actually a large circular hall, with columns and torches placed on each column. in front of them was an altar and on the altar was the sword of the ancients. However, the visitors didnt approach the altar yet. They knew the worm dragon was hiding somewhere.

Lucid: This place is suspiciously... quiet...
Kirnale: Yeah.. It's as if no one is here...
Lilith: Perhaps this is a trap of sorts?
Elysia: Possibly.. Although we cant be too sure..
Lucid: Well, the only way is to taunt the creature.

Soon, Lucid went to the middle of the room, then raised his sword and was totally on guard.

Lucid: Worm Dragon! I know you are in here! Reveal yourself!

Only an Echo was heard. soon, Lucid started taunting again.

Lucid: Hey! Worm Dragon! Come out! What's the matter, cat got your tongue?!

There was silence. No one responded.

Lucid: Grrr.... He must be hiding or something...
Voice: I wouldn't be so sure...

All of a sudden, little worm dragons appeared and started attacking the visitors. Their numbers are quite large and the visitors are having a hard time beating them. Soon later, the worm dragon finally appeared and the little worm dragons retreated.

Worm Dragon: So... have you come to claim the sword of the ancients?!
Lucid: Yes. We claim it for us to save this world!
Worm Dragon: Save this world?! Bah! That's just old rubbish. Many people tried but failed. What makes you say you can do it?!
Lucid: This!

Lucid swings his magically enchanted blade and a large Icicle was created and thrown towards the Worm Dragon. The worm dragon countered, melting the ice with his breath.

Worm Dragon: Ha! That was weak! you'll have to do better than that!
Lucid: Oh really? (hits the worm dragon at the back)
Worm Dragon: A distraction! You're quite smarter than I thought. But no matter. You shall still die here! My minions, attack!
Eriol: Lucid, watch out!
Namiele: We'll try to help!
Lucid: Alright. You guys take care of the little guys. I'll deal with the Dragon one on one.
Worm Dragon: hmmm... You're quite braver than I thought. Let's see how you'll handle my fury!
Lucid: Alright, let's see whether or not you're really the guardian of the sword.

Soon, the battle began between the visitors and the worm dragon and his minions. But little do the visitors know that the Worm Dragon has a lot of surprises hidden within the lair...
