Chapter Ten

Sure enough, there were another two full boats worth of sailors on their way. Yeah, we could take them if we were going to take it seriously and just massacre them, but that wasn’t the plan.

Anyone have any ideas as to what we can do to get these guys to surrender? Jaken asked wearily. Trying not to kill anyone had been taxing on us, even though we did make it look easy.

How about a combo attack strategy? I offered as we moved along the rooftop toward where the platoon-sized formation of sailors marched toward the market. The rest of the party glanced my way, and I continued on. My dragon form is black, right? With colored highlights, sure but it’s black. What if we were to have me fly in, and Yoh and Balmur manipulate the shadows for me? Like, try to scare them off with a type of dragon they’ve never seen before.

I mean, that could work. Muu grunted, a soft hiss leaving his lips as James shoved him aside, a small hole in the roof having almost swallowed his foot. Thanks.

If it will get them to lay down their weapons and surrender, I’m in. Yohsuke affirmed with a nod and glance at Balmur.

He nodded once, and I stepped away from the group, cracking my neck before I sprinted as hard as I could in the opposite direction they had been moving. As soon as I was next to a gap on the roof, I pushed myself into the air as hard as I could and shifted. My draconic wings and body felt much too large to be in the city, but I banked and turned toward where I would be needed.

To play up the theatrics of my appearance, I roared loudly as I beat my wings against the air. Dozens of men and women screeched, “Dragon!”

Luckily for me, none of the sailors appeared to have bows or crossbows as I flew above them, coming to a stop and landing in front of them with an earth-shuddering thud.

“Do you all mean to fight me?!” I howled in as draconic a voice I could manage, the men and women clearly taken aback by my sudden appearance and terrifying demeanor. “Surrender, and I will allow you to keep your pathetic, miserable lives. Scurrying about on the ground like mice.”

Some of the men laid down their weapons and ran, a few of them tripping over the others in their hurry. Others drew their weapons.

One of them actually stepped forward and scoffed, “You look to be about adult age for a dragon, you’ve got a lot of nerve acting high and mighty in front of a whole mess of men and women who could kill you. Black dragons are evil creatures, sure, but you don’t look so tough.”

My fangs flashed as I laughed and held my clawed arms out before me. “You think me merely a black dragon? I am Daedrona. I am the black death. I am the very shadows at your feet.
