GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



Soverick is out of their league now so the arena spirit won't waste effort on him with the Ravens. So all their cawing is just the bark of a dog that lacks a strong bite meant to fool and intimidate the ignorant.

He said to his cargo as he began his work. "If you came to kill me then you shouldn't have a problem with what's going to happen next. Take solace in the fact that I won't kill you in the easiest way."

He began to manipulate gravity to clump all of them into a ball when he rose above the tree cover. It is tedious work to manipulate the gravity of ten thousand people and it doesn't help that they were all screaming throughout the process. When they have all been squished together real tight, he pulled soil and rocks from the ground to join them.

Rocks and sand rose from the forest to join the ball of people that he made. He made sure to rotate the ball so that it is evenly covered with earth. He also compressed it very well to make sure it is sturdy enough and can withstand a strong impact. Then he raised the encased people in the form of an earthen ball higher into the sky until he reached the limit of the world.

His divine sense reached into the hardened ball and said to them, "Let this be known. I am going to enjoy this. But I also did the work. It wasn't easy preparing for this. So I deserve to enjoy it. You will too if you see what I am about to see."

They did not agree with his sentiment that he deserves to enjoy the ordeal that they are about to go through. If he asks them, they would rather he not go through whatever he is planning for them. They all have various opinions and reasons why it is a bad idea. He didn't ask them but they forwarded their opinions to him. Some didn't even bother to use kind words.

"Go to Hell, Soverick Ghastorix. Your mother was a whore." Someone shouted at him.

"Hmm? I doubt Mihila will agree with that. What does she being a whore have to do with anything anyway?" He asked himself absentmindedly as he released the ball.

His hold of the gravitational field of the ball loosened so it came under the control of natural gravity. Natural gravity dictates that all must come down so it began its downward motion. 

The people trapped within the encased stone felt him loosen his grip on them because of the sudden downward pull that they experienced. They began trying their all to escape but it is all useless. The prison of stone around them refused to give way and if it did, they would only plummet straight to the ground. The only way to safety is if they manage to break the stone and can fly. It is a shame that the stone held really well.

Soverick watched the ball fall with slight amusement. There is a small grin on his lips. He isn't the only one watching it either. Everyone alive within the arena saw it too. The spectators outside of the arenas saw it. They saw a massive earthen ball more than 100 meters across fall to the earth and they saw how the stone smashed into the earth in a massive explosion.

It was a wonderful explosion. The stone hit the cleared ground where he fought the armored rhino so there were no trees to break their fall. The ball itself was smashed into the ground until it flattened while soil and rocks were thrown up. A crater filled with debris formed at the location of impact. There were no survivors. The people within the ball were crushed by the impact.

The spectators all over the plane cheered. They began screaming and chanting his name. The fervor took them. They clapped in excitement. Their reaction is the complete opposite of competitors within the arena. It was an interesting sight for sure, but unlike the people watching in the safety of their homes, they have to live with him. They have to bear with him existing in proximity to them. So they gulped uneasily thanking the fearful and rational part of their mind that they didn't join the quest to slay the injured giant.contemporary romance

These people groaned and swore when they saw Soverick's next opponent. This massive beast suddenly appeared in the air as if conjured. It cast a shadow on the ground that covered a large amount of distance. The people directly under the monster have the most to say about the new monster.

"It's like I am in hell."

"What rotten luck."

"How are we supposed to live like this?"

They complained as they distanced themselves from Soverick and the monster. Some went so far as to hide themselves somewhere secure beneath the ground. They could all tell that the next battle will be catastrophic. After all, it is a dragon. 

Dragons are beasts of calamity on their own. Adding Soverick into the mix makes Calamity times two. One calamity is life-threatening. Two of them is to be doomed.

Soverick examined the dragon with interest. 

"Interesting." He said.

The most obvious feature of this monster is its size. It is monstrous. It looks like a small floating island in the sky with four giant wings keeping it afloat. No amount of wings should be able to keep such a beast afloat. If not for the manipulation of world power by the dragon, then it will be a landed beast and not an airborne one. Even then, it will be a terrifying beast that will make the earth shake with each step.

Other notable features apart from the massive size of the dragon are the red color of its scales and the pair of black spikes that line its spine and the contours of its head. Its head has two large red horns curved like that of a ram to frame its face. It looks terrifying even by dragon standards.
