"We should split up here." Alissa tosses a weird dragonfly device at me.

I caught it and played around with it before the wings fluttered, it flew out my hand and circled me.

"Are you tired of my face already?" I joked as I motioned to my all guy crew.

A snort was all I got as we disappeared into two separate tunnels. Not even ten minutes into the journey, red glowing shit came falling from the roof. If it was directed at me, I could have easily blown it back but some recruits were the perfect prey.

Who told them to sit so far back when walking in hostile terrain? They were asking to die and I wasn't going to break my neck to save such trash. That is why I attack after they die, killing the creatures with a sword beam.

Honestly, this dive was entirely boring. Once the three imbeciles died, everybody else took caution. Which made the obvious fireballs really easy to dodge and retaliate against.

By the second day, I started making a tunnel myself. Exercising my very limited control over runes but I had some who were mages in my group. Between myself and them, we made a beeline towards a large group of lifeforms.

I didn't know what to expect but from how thick and how much my stomach was growling while I smelled their tracks. I knew they would definitely taste good after being roasted.

"Sir, I think we are on the other side of them." The Duke Boys said while trying to earn brownie points.

I pressed my hand against the wall and a grey circle flickered in and out as the wall began melting around me. Forming a man size hole which I stuck my head through. The other side was night and day to these dark tunnels. To the point that you could entirely become befuddled at the bright starry sky, the bloody red moon hanging part ways, and the town lit up by all kinds of street lights.

"Um, sir. Should we report back that we found sentient life?"

I waved my hand as I looked for a sentient being. Preferably a woman to add to my gallery. Yet, even though their smell was prominent, I couldn't find a trace of them as if they just weren't awake at this time. Or maybe it is an illusion?

I stepped into the dome like world and I instantly realized, I am a dumbass. They were indeed surrounded by illusion magic and the group staring at me looked like dark elves but they had horns.

I raised my hand in a gentle fashion. "Hey, beautiful purple grass you have here. I really like what you guys did with the flowers lining the edge of the road. Really brings out that dark red blood color of the pavement."

Scales covered my hand as I slapped a blade aside. Stepping into the fucker guard, I hit him with a power jab that crushed his head. The other four looked on in what I can only call disrespect.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

All four standing turned to me and pointed their fingers at me. I didn't wait for them, my body transitioned into grey light particles and was transported behind them. The moment I reformed my tail pounded into the eyes of the furthest, while my claws ripped out the throats of those right in front of me. The last standing spun and blasted his companion apart with a bolt of lightning, as I closed in on him.

The guy's red eyes seemed to enlarge as my palm smacked his head. I couldn't even tell if his eyes rolled but he did stagger backward from my weakened slap.

I was about to make another attempt but the fucker blasted me ass over end. Thankfully I had at least one decent back up with brains for there was no follow up attack.

"Sir, I put him into an illusion. It won't

last long with his will is powerful." A black haired kid that had a scar crawling down his left eye.

We couldn't afford to waste time, my next actions were a perfect reflection of that. Tied, gag, and blinded, I carried the only living target into the dark caves. My crew stayed close in a formation that I could feel proud of. A wedge with range in the middle and melee on the outside.

Even though I didn't expect to meet any creatures on our route back, we had to be careful. Definitely as I practice splitting my focus to keep up an easy spell, light. The grey orb always stayed three inches above my head, with the dragonfly curving around it as if it was one of those flies that like to be electrocuted.

I was surprised to see Alissa walking down my tunnel considering she went down another.

"Did you really miss me?" I spoke up before we met face to face.

Alissa's eyes squinched as she tried to avoid the bright grey light. "Why do you have such a bright light?"

"Because I am bored? How about you? Why are you in my tunnel?"

"I didn't know this tunnel had your name…"

I pointed at a stone that I carved into a street sign, it also had my name carved into it. In the dark, nobody would notice but with a light like this, very obvious.

"Oh, wow! You are such a child!" Alissa stared at me like she was half speechless and half astounded at my genius.

"It looks good doesn't it?" I chuckled as we got closer.

"It is certainly a show of stupidness. Anyway, what is that?" Alissa pointed at the bundle on my shoulder that was well aware of what was happening. Yet, it didn't make any attempt to escape.

"We found an underground civilization and this little fella plus four others happened to spot me."

"Oh, the princess should be back. So let's go report and get out of these dreary caves." Alissa said as she turned around, leading the way.

"Your ass looks bigger in this lighting. Mind if I grab it to be sure?" I reached but her fist made me take a step back.

"This is so old, don't you have better things to focus on?"

"Focusing on the way your ass swings left and right is definitely an important task. It motivates me.." her neck punch was enough to make me feel as if my ribs were going to snap. "Fine, fine. I won't talk about your ass anymore but your breasts are okay, right? Those lovely teacups?"

I was smart enough to dodge her rather large foot. I didn't forget to give that ass a smack on the way past me.

"I'm going to kill you if you do that again. I already told you I don't like guys." Alissa's chest was rising and sinking fast.

I know, because my eyes were interested in the tears that crisscrossed the top half of her leather armor.

"Mm, don't like guys but I'm a dragon, difference."

She snarled and I laughed as I hop backward, turning on my heel as I raced down the tunnel towards the exit.

"Why are you running from little ole me when you are such a big dragon? Don't act like a little ole pussy cat!" Alissa unleashed whatever spell that was that launched such a hot fire bomb.

I had to cover myself and my prize in an ice bubble as I dodged most of the explosion. I just hope nothing kills out rookies.

"Alissa baby, why are you so upset. I'm not even a human male, so sleeping with me should be something great! It's an honor and you should be delighted that I am even willing to raise myself to your level!"

Did she just do a banshee scream? I ducked as her fist punched a new cave into the wall. My body blew back like I was a parachute that caught an upwind, barely dodging her foot.

"Come on, Alissa! You have such a beautiful smile. Why don't you give me one?" I couldn't help laughing as she tried to beat the fun out of me.

I could probably guess why she went gay and had such a strong reaction. Yet, I couldn't help but feel that she wasn't putting her all into the attacks.
