Reincarnated At Level Two Million

Kaitlyn and Zell looked at each other and followed after their dwarven guide. The light of the torch bȧrėly illuminated the darkness within the cave. It was in stark contrast to the entrance they had experienced on the other side.

"Why don't you have this side lined with torches?" Zell asked.

"It is because we do not want humans to find us." Kilgon answered. "The other cave you entered was from the land of nonhumans, this path is a defensive vulnerability we try to keep it as dangerous as possible to deter the humans from exploration."

"Much like my forest." Kaitlyn said. "Did the humans give these caves a name? They gave the forest I am from the name Forbidden Forest."

"They call them the caves of death." Kilgon laughed.

A loud shrill cry was heard from the depths of the cave.

"What was that?" Kaitlyn asked.

"Death." Kilgon joked.

"That is not funny!" Kaitlyn said, stomping her foot. "At least Zell will protect me."

"Yeah, I won't let anything happen to you Kaitlyn." Zell replied.

"I know." Kaitlyn purred.

"I hope it finds us." Kilgon said.

"Why would you wish that?!" Kaitlyn cried out.

"Because you both are making me sick and pray for death." Kilgon said.

"What is it really?" Zell asked.

"I killed a dragon once." Zell said. "I forgot his name, He tried to kill my little sister years ago, I ended him in a single blow."

"You should have let the beast." Kilgon said. "Because of your sister things have gotten nearly impossible for my kind on the surface. I have been a terribly busy dwarf ever since she came into power."

"I had no idea she was going to do this." Zell said.

"Oh? She never gave you a single clue growing up as to what kind of person she was?" Kilgon asked.

"I mean, she was always self-centered and selfish." Zell said. "But she promised to do the exact opposite of what she is doing now. I was very surprised to see what she has done to the kingdom."

"So did you burst through the gates, defeat all the guards, and set her straight?" Kilgon joked, knowing the answer.

"No." Zell sighed.

"I would have." Kilgon said. "You seriously need to just use your head. How many lives have been lost by your inaction? Do you not care about the world? Are you just on a nice little adventure with your cat girl?"

"I care." Zell said.

The ground rumbled, slowly at first, then increasing in force and intensity. Something big was coming their way and getting closer. As the shaking got stronger, they began to hear the breath sounds of a mighty creature. Closer and closer it approached until it was right on top of them. In the darkness they could not see a thing, not even the vague outline of shapes.

"I know I saw a light." A voice that shook the cave said. "Show yourself mortals, I can smell your stench." Loud sounds of a breath being taken could be heard. "A dwarf, A beast cub, and a human? Now that is an odd combination.

Zell sighed; the dwarf was right. He had not been acting with the responsibility that his power demanded. He had not been doing what was necessary to save the world. He started walking towards the voice. Used to his own power he had been keeping his limit at his maximum of two million. He placed his middle finger on his thumb and snapped in the direction of the voice.

The shockwave ignited the trace amounts of flammable gasses lingering in the cave, giving a faint light. A Massive black dragon could be seen for a moment, before the force of the shockwave forced it to fly backwards several hundred feet.

"You know dragon." Zell said. "The old me would have just waited for you to leave, but not the new me. No, I am in a hurry. I have a sister to stop a demon lord to deal with and a world to save. I don't have time to be stuck in a cave with you." Zell snapped again. The new shockwave did the same as the old and pushed the dragon back even further.

"Okay! Okay!" The Dragon shouted. "Stop it! I get it, you are some kind of a freak!"

"Ouch, words can hurt you know." Zell said, preparing to snap again.

"Sorry!" The dragon shouted. "I didn't mean to offend! It's just for a human to have this much power."

"I get that a lot." Zell said.

Kaitlyn, who had been following Kilgon, rushed to cover Zell's eyes. She did not want him to see another woman in the nude.

"Don't look Zell!" Kaitlyn said.

"Does my form offend you somehow, beast cub?" The dragon asked while looking herself over. "I have never shown this form to anyone, am I that revolting that you shield your human's eyes?"

"Nope." Kilgon said. "Not revolting at all my dear, you miss are quite the looker. Tell me would you care to go a round with a three-legged dwarf?" Kilgon said with a wink.

"You have three legs?" Kaitlyn asked. She thought about it for a moment and realized what the dwarf meant. "That's gross!" She said as she used her free hand to smack the back of the dwarf's head.

"I'm sorry, what's happening?" The dragon asked, confused.
