Chapter 24: The Quartz Ruins(Part 4)
"There is it...the next Relic Armament should be right behind those doors," Remarked Lexia, as a large doorway came into sight up ahead.
"Nice, that'll make two out of the five we came here for. And there's a chance that the others have found at least one or two more. Keep your guard up...one of the doors has been broken down, there might be something lurking inside," Replied Colt, as they began to make their way towards the doorway.
"Looks like it was forced open from the inside, which means it was probably a Monster from a lower level trying to enter this level," Surmised Lexia.
The pair had reached the sixtieth floor of the ruins, they had encountered a number of High Level Threats along the way, but avoided confrontation using their Teleport Spell Cards.
As they headed towards the doorway, getting ready to claim another of the Relic Armaments, the two of suddenly came to a halt as a deep, ominous growl rang out from several meters above them.
They slowly turned their gazes upwards, before their eyes widened as they caught sight of a pair of large, gleaming yellow eyes above them...
"Holy shit...," Muttered Colt, as the eyes narrowed threateningly.
"Is that...is that a fucking Fire Dragon?" Added Lexia shakily, before the two of them quickly scattered as the large Monster came swooping down towards them with a vicious, ravenous roar, a massive, blazing wave of flames blasting down towards them from the creature's jaws.
They narrowly evaded the flames, before a loud crash echoed out as the Monster landed on the ground, a cloud of dust rising up around it as it threw back its head and let out a deafening roar, streaks of flames swirling around its towering body.
It was covered in fiery red scales, its limbs the size of trees, it had two straight, sharp black horns on its head, and a row of curved black spikes down its back, with razor sharp fangs and curved black claws.
Suddenly, it rapidly spun around, whipping its tail towards Colt, slamming onto his torso before he could react and sending him hurtling back through the air at an alarming speed, before he quickly unleashed a burst of blood behind him right as he crashed onto a nearby rundown building.
