Around him, the quake grew from what felt like a rockslide rolling downhill to a massive earthquake.
“All catapults! Fire! Fire at will!” shouted Uragiru. The king retreated back to his army and Belverda slowly strode her Dragon away the hybrid as well.
In a matter of seconds, hundreds of small puffs of cloud came from the surrounding plains. Catapults have launched rocks blazing on fire that aimed at Valverno.
The demigod just stood where he stood. He kept his eyes on his enemies instead of the rocks covering the sun’s rising light in a great black cloud. Many of the rocks left behind a trail of smoke in the sky. Many rocks managed to hit the ground and failed to hit the demigod.
Valverno had enough and flapped his wings. There was a strong air breeze powerful like a hurricane. Clouds faded from the eye’s view and the clear sky turned to a purple haze from the daily blue-orange color from the dawning sun.
After suddenly changing the sky to a different color, Valverno took to the sky and just as the first few rocks came falling down inches from where he stood. He thought it was a good time to wipe out a fourth of the army. This would likely thin the odds losing of his army, and he would be able to take on Belverda and Uragiru with fewer obstacles.
Valverno was flying in the air after dodging rocks being flown at him from catapults. His flying speed made it impossible for any archer firing their arrows or rock being heaved from the catapult. The demigod soared high above the army infantry as he blown down a black flame from his mouth and seeing about a hundred soldiers go off in a fiery blaze.
His great flying made him rise high above the army to and fro as he unleashed a heavy amount of a black fire upon his enemies.
Wave after wave, flying up and around, and circling above the army ranks, he was smoldering many slow moving soldiers beneath him. He was breathing down fire upon the soldiers like a real fire-breathing Dragon would do to a village.
Valverno saw his black flames were erupting over the soldiers walking underneath him, but there was still large numbers spreading across the dark plains. He was going have to at least draw his attention to the catapults. Those machines throwing the rocks would likely thin the numbers of the united army.
He quickly made with the greatest haste and casted down magic fireballs. All he sent down had blown the deadly machines away. He could see there were at least a hundred catapults. There were many spread out very widely. Valverno knew taking down many enemies wasn’t easy for him to take down, but he was for sure going to try.
And he was going to start by destroying the catapults. Valverno enhanced his flying speed to fly faster and exhaled out his black flame upon both soldiers and several catapults. He was blowing out more fire than usual was. He stretched out for a mile long exhaling out his fire before stopping for a breath of air.
The fire was spread for a long mile that divided several ranking soldiers. There were about seven catapults Valverno took out. The rest Valverno left burning and went to burn down the rest of the catapults.
This one hybrid, which was doing lone-wolf attacks, was doing a big amount of damage to the enemy army and he couldn’t count how many soldiers he was burning down. Right now, he was focusing on taking down the catapults trying to throw rocks at him, but kept missing due to his speedy flight he was doing while circling over the enemy.
For some long minutes Valverno had taken any catapult he saw throwing fiery rocks and him. And by the time he was done, he landed back at the army’s front.
The front ranks of the soldiers kept marching forward and to Valverno. He didn’t see to what happen with the witch Belverda and King Uragiru. The leaders may have abandoned their army to save themselves or they had just found a place to hide upon the soldiers.
“Now how about we all took a five-minute break, shall we?” asked Valverno to the soldiers, who still marched without giving a proper answer. “No? Alright then. Let’s change these plains around, shall I?”
Valverno sank his feet to the ground and his legs unleashed a powerful smoke. As his legs began to smoke up, smoke in different parts of the army began to rise up, at the eighteen holes he made. The scales he buried were going up in smoke as his legs were doing. Valverno widened out his black wings and pointed his hand to the sky.
There was a hard wind coming from the sky. Rain-like clouds began to swell the purple sky with a wondering yet dreadful look. The ground began to shake beneath the feet of many.
The earth moved like a giant earthquake was going to rock down the entire island of Shimabellia. And, with a loud growl, Valverno vibrated from his mouth to the ground. Then mountains rose from the bottom and small hills waved like the ocean water waves on the shorelines.
Crevasses and trenches erupted without a moment’s notice. A powerful earthquake began to shake beneath Valverno and the enemy army he was facing. The far and wide plains stretching out for hundreds of miles were turning into a small range of mountains and hills in a matter of seconds.
From the eighteen holes he made, the dark scales melt into the earth and caused the earth to move around and made rocky hills and tall mountains rise so suddenly from the ground.
Valverno knew this wasn’t a natural ability that his half divinity would give him; the power which he had processed would happen to come from
