What they witnessed was a creature of legend, a creature of magic and might

It was a mythical dragon that shouldn't exist in this era!

The people who were guarding the wall, including the citizens who were watching from the ground, were stunned and terrified as they saw the blue dragon.

It was even emitting a mighty aura that could pass through the barrier with ease!

All of them believed that their barrier would always protect them from external threats, but it seemed that they were wrong!

They had never seen such a creature before, and they felt a primal fear in their hearts.

They couldn't help but wonder who was capable of summoning such a dragon, and whether they plan to kill everyone in the city.

"Fear not! My father! The King has total command of the City's Barrier! It was created by the first King who founded the Kingdom and it endured for many generations! This dragon will be slain soon!"

The Crown Prince, a middle-aged man who was wearing dazzling red armor, yelled for everyone to hear.

Thanks to his words, those who were frozen by the sight of the blue dragon and neglected their duty came to their senses as they gripped their weapons firmly.

The blue dragon, however, was not intimidated by the Crown Prince's words.

It was as if it knew that the barrier was not invincible and that it had a weakness.

Since no one dared to attack the dragon, it flew towards the barrier, and opened its mouth.

The dragon was taking its time to charge it since it was aware that no one would stop it since they were all relying on the mysterious power of the barrier!

Soon, it unleashed a blast of water empowered by lightning, that crackled and flashed. It aimed at the barrier, hoping to break it with one strike.

The barrier, however, was not easily broken. It absorbed the energy coming from the Dragon's Breath and stored it.

After the dragon's attack subsided, it then released it back in the form of a beam of light!

It counterattacked the Dragon, hoping to repel it with its own power.

However, the Dragon seemed to have expected this as it released another mighty roar that surpassed its previous attack!

The two attacks collided, creating a huge explosion of chaotic Arcane Energy!

***

A few minutes earlier, before the dragon showed up, Marquis Morgan of the Nobles Faction, Sun Sorcerer Hogan of the Church of the Divine Sorcerer, and Viscount Truman of the Neutral Faction, were gazing at the capital with a touch of anxiety. They were in a concealed airship where they could oversee the situation and take control of their soldiers at the same time.

"Where is Vale? He said that he's on his way..." Sun Sorcerer Hogan asked.

"We haven't spotted their Airships yet." Viscount Truman answered. He had heard a lot about Vale but he had never met him in person. He was also interested in this young man as he wasn't sure how the two in front of him trusted such a person to break the capital's mighty barrier.

"He should arrive any second now. My people informed me that their Airship departed a few hours ago and headed to the capital. He must be using a concealment art." Marquis Morgan said. He knew that the people working for Vale were all experts. It wouldn't be surprising if one of them was an expert in Concealment Techniques.

Nevertheless, even though they had assembled a formidable force of hundreds of powerful Arcanists and many Knights that could encircle the capital, they were still concerned since their forces would be useless if they couldn't enter the capital.

But if they could break the barrier, everything would be different... It wouldn't matter if they had fewer Airships or Arcanists. They would be able to win since they had planned a lot for this.

They had a way to deal with the Airships, the Druids, and the Arcanists of the Kingdom.

As they were getting nervous, they soon received a message from Vale to clear a path for his summon! He said that it was mythical creature that would destroy the barrier for them!

"Mythical Creature?" The three exchanged glances, but they still ordered their Airships to clear a path.

Soon, they looked at the sky, and saw a blue dragon flying towards the capital.

It was a magnificent and terrifying sight, as the blue dragon soared in the sky.

The three leaders' eyes lit up as soon as they saw the dragon!

"I knew! I did well recruiting them! Hahah!" Marquis Morgan exclaimed.

"Incredible That young man can summon a Dragon? What kind of Summoner is he?" Viscount Truman added.

On the other hand, Sun Sorcerer Hogan realized that Vale had truly held back on him in his challenge yesterday!

'He was going easy on me! I didn't know he was a summoner!'

They were amazed and excited, as they saw the blue dragon.

Without a doubt, they knew that this was Vale's Summon, and that it was certainly his secret weapon.

"Order the troops to get ready!"

"Contact the vanguards inside the capital and tell them to make haste!"

"Don't waste the opportunity! If a crack appeared! Start casting your Fusion Spells!"

All three of them gave the command as they knew that this was the creature that could break the barrier, and open the way for them.

They knew that this creature would not fail!

As the nervous ground troops of the rebel army witnessed the dragon, they also cheered and shouted!

They encouraged the blue dragon to attack the barrier and destroy it as they prepared to follow the Dragon and enter the capital!

Soon, they witnessed the dragon charge at the barrier with a speed and force that was unmatched. It ignored the beam of light, and the pain it caused.

It focused on the barrier, and the crack it had made from its previous attack!

Boom!

As the dragon dived into the barrier, it suddenly exploded. It released all its energy, and maybe even its life, as it created a massive blast that shook the earth and the sky.

It looked like a supernova, that engulfed everything in flames!

It was the Dragon's Wrath, the spell that could destroy anything, even a barrier that had lasted for generations. It seemed as if it was the dragon's final act, and its greatest gift to its summoner!

It was the end of the barrier, and the beginning of the war.
