Legends of Varlaurea: The Dragon Emperor 6 THE MONSTER OF KAO REN LAKE 5

The monster struggling to dive back into the water, yet somehow its head still remains above surface, not only that its upper body is starting to floating to the surface, it's like there are some magical force keeping the beast from return to the deep. That magical force is, of course, from Emperor Lam's telekinesis, a high form of psychic magic that rarely any mage can use at such distain and to hold such large object. The monster is trapped, the fleet starting to encircle it and unleash their ballista bolts, their target is the mouth of the monster. The bolts ripping through the air toward their target, as hundreds of them plunged into the soft flesh in the monster mouth. The monster twisting it body in pain, unable to escape, it started to wiggling its body and waving its huge fins, created violent waves around it, causing the fleet to have difficult aiming. Although the attack is going well, as Taosih Tsun has said about the monster's scales, Emperor Lam can feel it slipping through his telekinesis grip, every time the beast violently twisted its body.

Ten minutes later, the encircling is completed, then a frigate called "Young Wind" break formation and approaching the monster, on the ship is Taosih Tsun and his mage team. They stand at the ship's prow, trying to keep their balance while the ship swaying in the wave cause by the monster. When the ship getting near to about fifteen lias distain from the monster, Taosih Tsun's mage team starting to charging their inner power, which is called "Qigun" by the Downers. Then they channelling their qigun to Taosih Tsun by touching they palm to his back as he murmuring a spell, and waiting for the moment between waves so the ship can stable enough for him to have a good aim, doing this is quite dangerous, for if Taosih Tsun holding his spell for too long the additional qigun can overload his body and cause injure. After a few minutes waiting patiently, and when the opportunity came, he unleashes a lightning bolt from his fringe tips toward the monster head. The lightning bolt powered by the qigun of five Taosihs unleash a deafening thunder and a flash so bright is can temporary blinded anyone look directed into it.

The lightning bolt found it mark and struck the monster left face, blew off the monster's left eye and heavily burn a good portion of its left face. The monster twisting in pain, and smacked its gigantic tail on the water created even more high and violent waves, nearly capsize the "Young Wind", the "Dragon Fang" and some other ships, cause Emperor Lam to lost his balance and lost his grip on the monster. Finally freed the monster immediately disappeared back to the depth. Though the battle has won, but the monster had escaped. Standing at the ship prow, Emperor Lam stare at the blood spill in the water in silent, while the crew of the "Dragon Fang" and the whole fleet cheer on for they first victory again the monster. Do they actually win? Will the monster's wound severe enough to kill it? He cannot be sure.
