Training Part 1

James led the 7 warriors to the inner parts of the forest as he the outer parts didn't have strong beasts and so it was useless to fight against them.

He could sense that someone was following them from the ancient city and they were stronger than him so he was not worried about the security of them.

James when reached the center of the inner region he stopped and then looked towards the seven and started giving his instructions " Allisa go and check the region around us and give me survey of all he beasts in this region."

Allisa nodded and left while James looked towards the rest and said "Your main motto will be to work together and use the advantage of the whole team. Vorus you being the leader of this group need to take in account of the strengths of each member with their weakness. You will also be the lead attacker of this team as you are have the most powerful attacks. Mortie you being a divine elephants have high defense and a comparable attack but you have slow speed so Vorus you need to use Mortie as a tank to stop the enemies attack and then giving heavy damage to them but you need to take in account of the enemy as if the enemy has high attack with speed then Mortie cannot be used as a tank or meat shield then Vorus you need to use someone who could dodge the enemies attacks."

James was trying to give the strategies on how to deal with different types of enemies with the help of his his other members of the team and try to be at minimum disadvantage and always taking advantage of their enemies weakness.

James then saw that Vorus understood something but not all and then looked towards him and said with embarrassment "Sir I was able to get something but its too complicated." Vorus said it truthfully and James was happy that he was able to say the truth and said "You are not to worry about that as Richard is the one who should worry about as he is the strategist of the team so you could dump all this thinking to him."

Vorus's eyes shone and looked towards Richards as he now knew that he was the leader but he would not being needed to use a lot of his brain as that would be done by Richard.

Richard was not feeling well about the shining eyes of Vorus and knew that he had been given all the mental work of the team.

.
Allisa came back and then reported to James"Sir the inner region has been divided into 4 parts and each part is under the rule of a strong beast. The four beasts are almost equal in strength . The four beasts are Red python , blue ape king , infernal lion and a demon name Yakatoki."

James heard about the four regions and then looked towards Richard as he was now the team's strategist so he would be saying his opinion.

Richard was silent and thought about it before saying "We should take the demon first as demon have a common weakness that is light type magic so I can weaken the demon  with my light magic while Mortie can take the damage from the demon while the speed of the demons in not fast most of the time but the defense will be high as the demons mainly train their bodies to a extremity leading to a strong natural defense and adding the dark magic , it increases but a few times. So we will be letting Vorus do the heavy damage while Allisa can use arrows with light magic induced to get the enemies weak points like eyes and so."

Richard was telling the rest of the members the strategy of how to deal against the demon.

James was happy that the seven of them were trying to work together.
.
.


James was following the seven of them while they were entering the region under Yakatori as he knew that they could deal with the demon but it safe to follow them.

.
Yakatori saw that some people were invading his territory without fear and so was instantly angry and decided deal with them.

He ran towards the direction of the seven and was reached and shouted in anger "You seven punks what are you doing in my territory? If you don't get out I will kill you."

The seven of them didn't wait and directly decided to attack.

Vorus was the first one deal with the demon and directly attacked the demon was transforming into full dragon form and used the claw for an surprise attack.

The attack was not that fast so the demon able to use his dark magic on his defense and able to defend himself against the surprise attack of Vorus.

The demon was cursing the seven as he hadn't thought that these kids had the guts to go against him.

Demon was going to counterattack Vorus but was interrupted by Mortie who had also transformed into his armored elephant form and was attacking with the mace holded by his trunks.

Mortie was holding back the demon while Richard had used a light spell and surrounded the demon.

The team was doing just fine and was able to deal with the demon slowly.
.
.
The demon tried to retaliate but he was not able to get past Mortie and after some time the demon was a spent force and was then killed by Vorus and Lucient as both of them used fire attacks on the demon together and burnt the demon.

James sighed as he knew that the seven of them were now able to work together and rest of the three big bosses were just going to killed by the seven.

James led the seven of them after letting them rest for some time and in 1 weeks they were able to kill the rest of the three regional bosses and now they had experience to go to the core region.

7 Warriors

The dwarf first opened his mouth " We dwarfs are not the best fighter but we are the best blacksmith so I will send a promising young dwarf who will be able to train into a war blacksmith."

The dragon nodded in agreement and said "Yeah you dwarfs don't have enough strength but they are equally important in a battle as a war cannot be won without weapons."

All the other six nodded with the old dragon.

The old dragon continued " We can use this chance to strengthen these 7 warriors by sending them with Nactorals legacy holder , where they would be able to improve themselves during life and death battles and at the same time we can also make them an example of warriors among the young blood."

The human representative nodded and said "Old dragon is right what we need now is heroes who will step up to fight against the devils and protect their races as although the devils have weakened a lot but we can't take them lightly."

All the rest of the members nodded and then the old dragon concluded "So all the seven guardians will organize a competition in their respective races and the winner of the competition will be sent on a punitive expedition against the devils and if they come back alive , we will have the first batch of heroes who will pave a path for others."

All the elders left for the preparation of of the selection of the young hero.

.
After three days , each race had selected a young promising person from their clan and sent him/her to the ancient city where they will be lead by James for going to the forest for training while seeing the situation of devils invasion.

.
James was standing in front of seven young talented people , although the seven wanted to retaliate against James but there was the old antique elder of dragon beside them and so the atmosphere was too quiet.

To ease the mood the old dragon opened his mouth "You seven have come here or two reasons . First to train under James . Second to fight against the devils as they are staging for a comeback so you will be the ones to start the fight , so you people have to obey the orders of James and one more thing , James is the last disciple of dragon emperor Nactoral so you should be respecting him and following his instruction." Saying that the old dragon left the group of James and the seven warriors.

The seven warriors were left shocked as they knew that Nactoral had died but they didn't knew that someone had accepted his legacy. It meant a lot to be a successor of a dragon as he would be receiving the remaining amount of energy cultivated by the dragon before his death. And for James to have received the energy cultivated by the dragon emperor that would be a lot stronger and would be enough for him to reach at the level of an elder dragon so they knew now that they could not mess with him.

James saw that the seven warriors had a dignified expression after the old dragon had told them about having received legacy of Nactoral.

James was feeling happy in his heart as they were being arrogant and were not even putting him in their eyes but now they were looking at him seriously , so James opened his mouth after some silence " You all should know that the devils are going to start an invasion to our home but we don't when."

All the seven warriors were shocked as they knew that James was going to train them but they didn't knew about the devils.

James continued " You seven are the best talents of your races so I will be helping you to train coordination among you as against the devils we need team work while fighting as to use the whole potential of each other without interfering among each other."

"So I heard from the old dragon that among you Vorus [dragon] is the strongest while Richard is the smartest. So the leader of the team will be Vorus and the strategist will be Richard. Hugrith [dwarf] will be in charge of the weapons , Allisa [Elf] will be scout and also target the enemies weakness , Lucient [phoenix] and Mortie will help Vorus at front lines to deal with the enemies and Kitsune will use support magic with Richard."James pointed out the roles of the seven members and then led them to the transmission of the forest of death.

.
The old dragon was sitting in the head seat and there 50 dragons looking at him with seriousness.

The old dragon then started the meeting " I think you every one has already known about the situation so we the old elders of the seven clans have chosen seven young warriors and sent them with Nacotral's successor James to train . So we are going to send two guardians to protect them from adverse situations so the seventh and the ninth elder will follow them."

The ninth and the seventh elders nodded.

The old dragon continued "So Vorus is the best young dragon of the current generation so after he comes back from the training . he will be send to the accept the inheritance of the ancients and will be crowned as the new dragon emperor."

All the elders knew what dragon emperor knew as they all had accepted the legacy of the ancients and two of them had received the title excluding the old dragon so they all knew the importance.

The second dragon then said "Ancestor I will see that all the materials will be ready for Vora for the journey of inheritance." They all knew that there was only one exit and entrance for the inheritance and it will take a lot of time during the selection of the legacy so arrangements were required before going

The first elder then said "I will tighten the troops at the borders and will deploy a dragon elder at required forts as we don't know what the devils are planning."

The old dragon was satisfied by the response of the two elders and said "First elder should also talk with the other six cities and we should have all the forts and cities to be at 10 star defense active. I will let you all discuss about the rest"

The old dragon left the elders who were now discussing about the preparations of the war.
