Chapter 26: Encountering an Undead Ancient Dragon

Story line
Wend and his group are travelling to the Royal Capital on an ancient airship when Brantark asks is he is looking for monsters. Wend then does on to explain how monster don't leave their domain with very few exceptions. As the two are talking Brantark stops and notices a very sinister magic aura. They notice that the ship has changed course so they head to the bridge. When they get there some of the passengers are questioning a sailor about what is going on for which he doesn't have an answer. Brantark is requested to go the Captain and when he gets there Kunz Flieger explains that a Undead Ancient Dragon is heading towards the ship and he requests Brantark to handle the dragon. Brantark tell him I can't beat this dragon, but they are in luck as Wend is here and he is able to defeat the dragon. Wend has doubts about this, but Brantark tells him to use Holy Magic to purify the dragon while he will protect the ship. As Wend leaves the ship Brantark casts barrier magic to protect the ship while Wend casts it on himself and heads to fight the dragon. It cast Holy Magic but the dragon fights back and disrupts the spell. Wend starts channeling mana to cast the spell again, but this time waits till enough mana has been formed. This time he purified the dragon in one go and collected the bones and core of the dragon. After he has defeated the dragon he is introduced to Alterio Marchen, a merchant and past party member of Brantark, he explains the magic core of the dragon should go for 1000 platinum coins at a minimum. Alterio then tells Wend he will have some troublesome matters once he reaches the capital but doesn't further expand on his comment. When they arrive Brantark ask Alterio to handle the rest for him and leave with the rest of Wend's group. Warren is waiting for Wend to take him to meet the King. This is the trouble he was warned about
