Dana bombarded the ground with spells, then summoned her Golems as Karl approached the ground, giving them someone to fight before Cara arrived.
Karl added his, including a full team of Spectral Knights, adding to the attack force.
Then, Tian destroyed all the shackles on the dragons at the same time that Cara stole the barrier orb.
Not destroyed. She killed the man holding it, and then tossed it in her space to inspect later.
The barrier over the dragon pens collapsed, and the captured dragons cheered in victory before either attacking their captors or grabbing handfuls of eggs from various clutches and flying away.
{Thank you, World Dragon. Good luck.} The female voice who had warned Karl declared, this time in his ears, not in his mind.
It was a young Ice Dragon, her scales nearly transparent over blue hide, giving her the appearance of thick ice, like what was found in the Frost Giant nation.
Then, there was Cara everywhere.
[Lesser Cara, Greater Cara, Epic Cara!] The Chaos Badger cheered.
"Did she just turn herself into Golems?" Dana laughed as the whole group exploded with flames.
Cara had activated [Elemental’s Wrath], and the Golems gained the skill as well.
Karl bit the head off a Dragonkin mage, then shook his head. {I don’t think that they’re actual Golems. They’re illusions. She’s mimicking the Golem Spell with clones made of pure chaos energy, then transformed into Elementals.}
In her space, Opal nodded in agreement. This was a form of minor illusion. If someone damaged them, they would vanish. The problem was damaging them when they were berserk and had Limited Invulnerability based on Cara’s durability.
The badgers were relentless, tearing through the camp with one destination in mind.
The tunnels.
Where did you hide the good loot? In your room, of course.
There was nothing good in the camp, just a bunch of leftovers that the dragons didn’t leave with. So, the good stuff had to be underground, and she was going to find it.
The real Cara was intently hunting down all the mages who were trying to influence the Dragons’ minds, killing and looting all the mind control and dragon imprisonment devices that they kept trying to use on Karl, not understanding that he wasn’t really a Dragon.
"It must be the dragon rider! Aim for the rider, and we should be able to recapture the product." One of the dragonkin shouted.
Karl smashed him under one massive foot, and Cara used [Pilfer] to see what he was hiding.
She got a single golden key, which wasn’t too interesting.
But keys led to things that were interesting.
The man didn’t even realize that he had been robbed before Karl activated [Void Blast] around his foot and obliterated the leader’s body.
Soon, there were no other dragons in the fight. They were either dead, or they had fled after the enemies on the surface were all gone. The reinforcements that the dragonkin had been counting on had never arrived, as Hawk was a master at grabbing little rodents who popped their heads out of tunnels.
He had flooded every entrance that he could find with Ghostfire, except the one that the Cara Clones had entered.
