Chapter 640: Capturing The Lava Dragonet

At the place where Jack and the others were fighting the young dragonet, the young beast's HP was finally down to below 30%.

"Finally!" Jack uttered as his beast form came to an end.

After his Storm Breaker's Overlimit state expired, the damage he caused to the dragonet plummeted. This beast's defense was truly astounding.

The Man and the others threw the runic ropes to restrain the young dragonet. Jack helped again with his Myriad Ensnaring Chains which was off cooldown.

Jack then took out the Giant Capturing Cage tool and threw it at where the young dragonet was immobilized. The cage quickly took form and trapped the beast.

When Jack was about to use the Tame Draconic Guardian scroll, he received a message from Jeanny.

"One adult dragonet is heading your way, we can't hold it! How are you going with the taming process?!"

"I'm just about to use the taming scroll," Jack answered.

"Hurry!" Jeanny replied.

As if to add to the urgency, everyone there was startled by a roar that came from the direction of the cavern.

"Shit! Is that what I think it is?" The Man asked.

"Yes. One of the adults is coming this way," Jack answered while activating the taming scroll. Fiery runes covered the cage. The young lava dragonet was visibly uneased by the appearance of the runes. It banged and clawed at the cage viciously.

"We will buy you time as much as possible. Men! With me!" The Man uttered. The roughnecks that were here marched together with him towards the depth of the cave without fear.

Jack gave them one last glance before returning his attention to the taming wheel that had appeared. The blue and red area this time was larger compared to yesterday. Jack also felt that the needle was spinning at a slightly slower rate than yesterday. Probably because this time, the monster he attempted to tame was lower level than him.

He looked at the red area. Even though it was wider now, it was still a risk to attempt hitting the red zone. He decided to go for the blue zone.

He hit it once, twice, thrice. Even though the blue area was wide enough, Jack still took care to not be careless. He made sure to grasp and maintain the rhythm. He hit it the fourth time. Success! One more time.

Jack didn't let his concentration slip. This last hit will be the most crucial. He couldn't afford a blunder. He watched the needle intensely. When it was almost upon the blue zone, he let the needle hit.

*ROAARRRR…!!!*

An ear-splitting roar reverberated through the cave. Jack felt rattled just as he sent the instruction to hit. The interruption caused his timing to deviate by one-tenth of a second. The needle hit the yellow zone just a hair away from the edge of the blue zone.

The wheel broke.

Jack looked back. He heard the sound of incoming footsteps already. He looked at his radar, the adult dragonet was close. There were also clashing sounds and screams from The Man's team. Jack turned back to the cage. Its HP was just a quarter left.

This was the last cage, there was no more chance after this. Jack took out the last taming scroll and used it.

"Peniel, I will count on you!" Jack uttered.

Peniel understood Jack's meaning. She got ready behind the cage. Her eyes monitored the depth of the cave where the adult dragonet was coming from. Jack continued letting his back face that depth, he couldn't get distracted at this time.

He felt the ground trembled, the heavy footsteps were getting louder, but he focused himself, ignoring everything else. He only had one chance by targeting the red zone. There was no more time for the blue zone. This was like the repeat of his first-day attempt.

Jack took a deep breath. He then held that breath. 'This is it!' He thought.

At that time, the adult dragonet had appeared behind Jack. Jack was completely ignoring it. From behind the cage, Peniel saw the dragonet's throat shining. A split second later, a huge stream of lava burst through its mouth.

Peniel immediately cast Invulnerability. She then took cover behind the cage. She saw the overspill of that lava breath devastating everything on her left, right, and above. The cage itself received damage from the lava. Its already low HP went down exponentially fast.

She couldn't continue watching the cage's HP as the heat of that lava breath bothered her so much that she retreated to the ground, trying to be as far away from the breath as possible. She forced herself to not retreat into her hidden dimension, her invulnerability spell would stop working if she did.

When the lava breath receded. She opened her eyes that had been closing. The cage in front of her had disappeared, which was not weird. The cage was doomed already the moment the lava breath came.

However, another thing was also missing. The young dragonet.

Only Jack stood in front of her.

"Do we succeed?" Jack asked. He was also not sure. He thought that he had hit the red zone correctly, but then his entire vision was flooded by lava. By the time he could see anything, there was only Peniel on the ground in front of him.

"Yes! Success!" Peniel shouted excitedly. "If the young dragonet is gone, that means it has been transported to the Sky Garden Peak."

"Yeah!" Jack joined her shouting.

Then another roar joined theirs. They looked back and realized the adult dragonet was still there.

"Shit, run!" Jack uttered and used Shooting Dash.

The adult dragonet was furious. It couldn't sense the young one anymore. It was as if the young one had completely vanished. It lunged forward with its four legs. Its two wings tried to open in a reflex attempt to increase speed by flying. The act instead caused its wings to bump and scrape the narrow cave wall, causing the dragonet to stumble.

Jack used Charge after the shooting dash, putting even more distance. He sent a message to Jeanny. "Taming successful! Hurry up and run!"

Jeanny who received the news immediately send her order for everyone to spread out and run. There was already an adult dragonet inside the cave they came from, so they couldn't escape from there. Jeanny asked everyone to spread out. There were multiple caves within this cavern. They didn't know where these caves took them, but it's better than being here with the dragonets. Once they were out of combat, they could use the Guild Return Scroll.

Everyone spread out. They used their expendable summons to try distracting the two dragonets while they escaped. Some, who are part of Men of Solidarity's gang, even offer themselves for sacrifice while the rest attempt their escape.

Jack's Ice Demon Fiend executed its ultimate skill, the ice spears rain. The countless ice spears rained down on the dragonets. The dragonets didn't suffer much damage, but it delayed them enough to allow the others time.

Arlcard removed himself from the confrontation by jumping away once he received Jack's mental signal. He was not without wounds. His HP was already down to half.

A companion didn't need to break off combat to be unsummoned, but the owner of the companion token had to issue the recall command via the token. Jack had done so after sending Arlcard the signal. Arlcard's body vanished mid-flight, leaving only the Ice Demon Fiend who intentionally rammed itself onto the mythical dragonet's body to buy time for the rests. It didn't matter if this Ice Demon Fiend was killed, Jack could still summon another one next time.

The two dragonets saw these intruders dispersed. They had also sensed the disappearance of the young dragonet. They were also furious. They wanted to destroy every single one of these ants, but these ants just ran in all directions, they couldn't chase every single one. Some even entered a cave too small for the dragonets' bodies.

Frustrated, the two dragonets unleashed their lava breath again, obliterating as many as they could.

*

Near the mouth of the cave, Jack ran as fast as possible, he was almost out of the cave. The dragonet was still hot on his heel. Jack was fast, but the dragonet despite not a fast monster, had enough dexterity to keep up due to its high level.

When Jack was about to reach the exit, he felt danger from behind. He looked back and saw the dragonet's throat shining.

"Shit! Its lava breath is off cooldown!"

Jack cast Magic Wall, Barrier, and then put his Magic Shield to his back as he jumped towards the exit. The lava breath came. Unlike the young dragonet's lava breath, the lava breath this time completely melted Jack's magic wall in a short time. The lava breath then hit his magic shield. It was melted and Jack was smashed by the breath, his barrier was immediately depleted.

Luckily, Jack was already at the exit. Jack was pushed to the side by the force of the breath, so he didn't receive continuous damage. He fell to the ground and roll away. He saw the lava beam shoot out from the cave's mouth into the distance.. His HP was only 40% left.
