Terra Online - Chapter 13
With my exit the golden door vanishes and the chiefs recover their senses as the pentagram disappears from the ground and Alia stores the cup into a sack on the table. “Welcome back, my lords” the chiefs say as they kneel on the ground with their heads touching the ground.
‘Lords’ I ask myself. “They mean the both of us” a voice says beside me. Turning to the voice I see that there is now a small black dragon the size of a dog curled at my feet. “Excuse me who are you” I ask as I have never seen that particular dragon before.
“After staying inside you all this while you can’t even recognize me in another body” the dragon says with what I assume to be a sigh but sounds more like a growl to me. “Tusker is that you” I ask in shock. “How many souls have you kept in you that you mistake me for another” the dragon growls with wisps of smoke coming out from its nostrils.
“Ah sorry about that” I say as I bring up my player status

Seeing my new stats I am shocked to the bone. Just gaining the power of a fallen I gained more than seventy levels and my stats skyrocketed.”Hey Tusker what’s up with this creator of dragons title I have now” I ask the dragon at my feet.
“The fallen that chose you was formerly known as Orin the creator the father of dragons” Tusker says as I feel a lot of mana coming, ‘closer guess I will test my new powers now’ I think to myself as I grin.
Walking through the now bustling city I passed lizard men as they went about renovating the city. Every step I made through the city was filled with fury.
Back in the real world just bombed a test and as if to laugh at me as soon as I logged back into the game I had a muscle cramp.”Tusker I need to go on a rampage” I tell my friend telepathically.
“Come outside the city I will be waiting” he replies. Even the lizard men around me notice something different in me as I seem to be giving off an aura. When I reach the city gates I see Tusker there in a smaller form as he watches crews of workers remove the remains of the goblin army that attacked before.
“Aren’t they through with this” I ask as I reach the dragon. “No, you made some of the leather they wore melt halfway into the ground” Tusker replies with a yawn. “So what’s got you so tensed” he asks.
“Other world stuff” I reply as I mount his back avoiding the many spikes that line it.
Flying in the clouds for hours the sound of earth exploding reaches me and my partner up in the sky.
“Let’s go down and see what’s happening there” I tell Tusker. “Probably some people fighting” Tusker says to me as he descends. The sight of people fighting greets us as we break the cloud. For miles around there are people fighting, with some places showing small craters that still smoke.
“This will do” I mutter as I watch the thousands of players and npc kill each other. “Choose a part of the field and stick to it” I tell Tusker as I jump of his back and begin falling.
Coating my body in lightning I hit the ground forming a hole in the ground as I blast the people there away killing some and incapacitating others. “Thank you all for gathering here today for me to get exp” I yell at the stunned soldiers.
“Who the hell are you” one of the soldiers yells as he helps his comrade stand.”you don’t need to know as you all will soon be dead” I reply as I move towards him in the blink of an eye.”I am the one who will rule this world” I whisper to the soldier as I plunge my hand into his chest retrieving his heart when I pull out my hand.
“Get him” a soldier wearing the same armor as the one I just killed yells as he raises his sword and charges at me. “Attack” someone yells as the crowd goes into action. Grabbing the closest person to me I throw that person at the charging soldiers and this incites the other group in this war. “Get this thing” they yell as they join their previous enemy to fight the new presence within their midst.
“Fireball” I whisper as a fireball the size of a football appears in my palm. Shooting at the people around me move through the crowd dodging swords and the occasional spell as I spam the fireball spell to the fullest.
“time to switch things up a bit” I yell as I coat my right arm in lightning with a long whip attached to the tip of my fingers doing the same to the left hand but this time with fire I whip anything brave enough to get into the range of my whips.
“Attack it, he can’t keep using magic forever” someone from the crowd yells as I melt a soldier and his armor. ‘That’s the case for normal people but I don’t think I can be classified as one now with my status as a fallen’ I think to myself as I doge one of the ice spikes fired at me.
Suddenly I feel as if my back has been hit with a bat, the force of the blow pushes me a few steps away. Turning back I see a large man wearing blue armor with a large hammer in which he drags on the floor.”oh so you only moved back, one of my blows kills the average man but since you are not a man I think I will see how many more you can handle” the man says as he lifts his hammer resting it on his shoulder.
“You are not worth my time” I say to the man as I create an earthen spike just under him impaling him before he can even notice anything. “So you can use earth magic too” a voice says from my right. Looking for the voice I see another person that looks to be high level, with a leather armor that has drawings that seem to be enchantments and a staff in one hand while a short sword rests in the other hand this person looks the type the people would call a mage warrior.
“Was he your friend “I ask pointing at the now impaled man that used the hammer. “No but I would have preferred if he died at my hand so I could get the exp but alas I will settle for you” the mage warrior replies.
Walking to the hammer on the ground I notice the soldiers are backing away from me probably due to the way I just killed someone that had seemed to be at the pinnacle of strength to them. “Good weapon” I say as I pick up the hammer. “Come at me with your strongest attack” I tell the mage as I charge at him.
“Giants shield” the mage yells out before I reach him conjuring a metal shield that is seven feet tall. Raising the hammer I slam it on the shield using my full strength destroying both the shield and the hammer in the resulting strike.
“Flames of hell” the mage yells as the shield comes down. “glacial hand” I counter as the dark fireball that is about to leave his hand becomes a ball of ice. “Is this the best you can do” I ask as I punch the mage and he tries to block with his staff only for my hand to break through it hitting his chest.
My punch carries the mage some meters away where he is killed by soldiers. “Wow all that claim of strength and he is killed by normal foot soldiers what a waste” I say as I plunge into the soldiers ranks again causing mayhem.
Elsewhere
“Are you watching this John” a woman says as the entire MMTV crew watch from the feed of their online reporter as a figure falls from the back of a dragon and begins killing everything in view.
“Right now there was the chance that the Crimson falcon guild might have won this war but with the new factor killing both sides I don’t think we are going to have we winner today” the female co host says.
“Well I don’t know about winning this war Kim, but the human continent is the worst place to be now” John says as the watch the figure blast large amounts of soldiers to their deaths. “What do you mean by that” Kim asks.
“We have a dragon riding player or npc who can destroy a city with the wave of a hand, the dwarves have started their attack on the human continent even mist of the dark guilds have begun attacking cities” John replies.
“You are right compared to the elf continent that has been fairly quiet, the human continent seems to be a war zone” Kim comments. “we are asking anyone who has information on the mysterious figure at the battle field to call in and share what they have on this person that is shaking the continent” John says as the screen shows large pillars of fire that reaches the heights of more a hundred meters move through the area around the unknown figure.
Back on the battle
“Where are all the strong guys” I mutter as I behead a soldier with a sword I picked up. “Feeling a pressure from the right I roll on the floor to see a large sword pass where my head was seconds ago.
“I was wondering who was killing all my men but I can see it’s just an animal that learnt how to stand on its feet” the owner of the sword says to me. The user of the swords is a red haired woman wearing golden armor with a cloak that matches her well.
“I heard that humans were formerly apes so I will take that as a compliment” I reply as I charge the woman. “How rash, try thinking before you rush at me” she says as she raises her sword to deflect my hand going for her heart.
“I don’t need to think to crush an ant” I reply. Focusing on the mana in me I imagine small explosions around the face of the swordswoman. Once the image is complete the actualization happens.
Small explosions enough to tear a limb go off in her face and all around her body. When they finish the woman is dead but her armor is still intact. “Stupid, wearing high level armor but leaving the face unprotected” I comment as I touch the body and it disappears to my pocket dimension.
Roar
The sound of Tusker having fun echoes around the battle field as I join in on the fun. An hour after I entered the battle there is little more than a hundred soldiers on both sides of the armies.”Tusker it’s time to go home” I say to my partner.
Letting out a loud roar Tusker ascends to the skies where I join him by using wind mana under my feet to fly. “Let this be known all lizard men are under my protection hunt them and I will hunt you” I tell the survivors before I leave.
“Gather your guards towards the inner part of the ruins some bugs are approaching this place” I say to the chiefs around me as I cast wind magic to ascend into the sky that would drained me fast before today.
“Can I eat some of them” Tusker says as he flaps his wings in the air beside me as we await the people coming to us.
“Depends on the amount that they bring, I want to test some things out on them” I reply as the lizard men huddle in the building where the ritual took place.
Soon the clearing around the ruins was filled with short disgusting creatures that roamed around my house ‘goblins’ the most populous monster in the human continent.
Most of them wore leather armor with all their swords looking good at least they were made recently as they still seemed new and goblins don’t maintain their weapons. After reaching the edge of the ruins the goblins made way, letting large creatures that had tusks coming from the upper jaw and curving once they reach the chin.
The smallest of these creatures was at least seven feet and clad in iron armor I know to the average player these guys would bring a lot of trouble. “Do you know what they are” I ask Tusker.
“am not sure as they aren’t in the elven continent, but these should be ogres an evolution of goblins when they reach level 120” Tusker replies as the creatures begin to growl at the ruins.
“Who leads this mess” I yell from my position in the sky as magic amplifies my voice throughout the area. “Little lizard come down here let me split your skull and drink your blood” the largest of the creatures says.
“Hmm” Tusker says as a fireball from him incinerates the ogre that was speaking.”I will ask for the last time who leads this mess” I yell as I begin to descend towards the goblins.
“They kill ogre, ogre kill them” another ogre yells as he charges at me with an axe raised at me prompting his comrades to yell as they follow his lead with arrows flying towards me.
“Kill the ogres but leave the goblins to me I need their numbers” I say to Tusker as I cast a wind shield and stop all the arrows in their tracks. Leaping from where I am I land in the midst of the goblins and manipulate the wind around me to blow outwards pushing everything around me.
The result is devastating; I am now standing in a small crater as all goblins in a five meter radius have been tossed like dolls. “What next” I mutter as the goblins start entering the crater.
‘Even with the power I showed now they still want to fight guess that spell should work’ I think to myself. “Meteor shower” I whisper as another large amount of mana leaves my body.
Unlike the first time that I casted the spell at the soldiers attacking the lizard town this time the amount of rocks falling from the sky is ten and they are all as large as a shipping container.
“I think you over did it” Tuskers’ voice says above me as the dust from the spell clears and there is no goblin in sight. “It’s not my fault none of them was strong enough to escape it” I say with a shrug.
“What are we doing next” Tusker asks. “Let’s meet the chiefs first then we talk” I reply. Walking back to the ruins, with Tusker walking beside me I think about all the books I left in my home with the underground lab.
“My lord what are your commands” Mina asks with a bow. “All of you should go back to your towns and gather your people” I tell them “bring them here, there will be no more different towns just to survive”.
“Where will you be” Tajar asks. “Cleaning up some trash, come Tusker lets go” I say as I ascend into the sky. Surprisingly Tusker increases in size until he is as large as a bus when he reaches the sky.
“Get on my back” he says as a tendril of smoke leaves his nose. “So are you going to tell me where we are flying to” Tusker. “A city named Teneris” I reply as I pass the coordinates of Teneris on the continent map.
Elf continent
“How is the army doing?” a voice says from the mist that seems tangible. “Good sir, the artifact is making it possible for us to move closer to the south without destroying ourselves in the process” a man wearing white dragon scale armor says as he kneels before the mist.
“Attack and convert any city you meet, leave the villages and towns to smaller raiding parties” the voice says.
“As you will” the armored man says as he stands to leave the place. “Stay away from the dragons for now” the voice says as the man walks away.
