Chapter 40 Pain

The dragon flew towards the barrage of attacks coming from all of the angels.

His entire body was covered in light from the multiple attacks yet it did not leave even a scratch on his scales.

The dragon swept through the army of angels, Killing any angel that had even touched his scales.

The moment they did, a black aura emerged from that part of his body and engulfed the angels.

Then a ma.s.sive fist came and punched the dragon right in the face.

Yet it did not budge.

It opened its maw wide and fired a breath of pure black energy, It fired it at the fist at point-blank range.

The giant With a golden mask on his face had his entire arm disintegrated,

It was no match for the black dragon.

None of the angels who were present, Whether they possessed two wings, four wings, Six wings, eight wings, or ten wings could hope to defeat this monstrosity, Whether they were in the millions or not.

The dragon annihilated every single one around them.

Until only it was left.

The giant with the golden mask had long since died

Its golden mask had been cracked and now looked hideous.

The OverG.o.d, along with all the Celestials, Perished before the might of the dragon.

The bodies of millions of angels and the OverG.o.d itself began to then into white light and flew towards the Black Dragon.

It absorbed the light just as it did with the other dragons.

Yet, No matter how much of the white light entered his body, It only seemed to turn him an even darker shade of black.

I looked at the dragon.

It...

Looked to be in pain, Just from its eyes I could deduce that.

But...

It had just won against an army of millions of beings so powerful I couldn't even grasp their levels.

And it did without taking a single injury.

And yet, It looked to be in pain.

No, It looked to be dead on the inside from its eyes. Yet it was smiling. Those bright blue diamond-like eyes seemed dead but on its face was a crooked smile. Just then.

My vision faded and I was soon in a purple s.p.a.ce.

As I was wondering what I would see this time.

I heard a voice.

"So, Did you enjoy it?"

Turning around I found a tall man staring at me.

He had purple eyes And black hair.

And was dressed in a suit. and had two purplish-black horns on his head.

I didn't know how, But I knew who he was.

"Suleras?"

The man just nodded without saying anything.

I answered his previous question.

"No, Show me more."

"Any more and your mind will collapse."

I just stared at him, and then after a while, I asked him a question.

"Was that me?"

"Yes and No."

Yes and no?

The h.e.l.l?

"Elaborate."

"The physical body was yours, But you were not in control, You were trapped in the body, forced to watch yourself do those deeds."

"Who was the one in control of my body?"

Just then, The room shook.

"Heh, Speak of the devil and he shall come...

Now that 'It' is here, I'll be quick. First of all, Your worries about being turned into her slave are wrong. Second of all, Never Give in to the temptation, and finally, beware of 'Black'"

"What are you talking about, that's far too vague-?!"

As I was talking, the s.p.a.ce we were in was vibrating even more, like it was a gla.s.s window that was on the verge of breaking.

"It infuriates me, That we mighty dragons have to put all our hopes on a gamble."

Suleras spoke once again. Looking at his face, it was covered in blood, His eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were all bleeding.

Looking at me for one final time, He smirked and I lost my vision as the sound of the s.p.a.ce breaking resounded.

***

He wasn't picking up any calls.

Sabrina had even tried using their spatial bond to send him a message but received no response.

It had been a day, She wanted to go out again but was stuck because of this stupid bodyguard not doing his job properly.

She had even gone to his room only to be denied entry this time.

The floor master was not in a serious condition unlike last time, so the AI didn't allow her entry.

Sigh...

She could only do nothing but wait.

The two boys had come again to ask her if she wanted to go to the new year festival with them but she denied it.

She would see the fireworks from her room Like she always had.

***

"Hah!*Hah!*

I was gasping for breath.

I had suddenly woken up and was lying on the carpet present around the whole floor.

[Supreme Dragon Of Ice Lanesha Apologizes]

...

It's ok.

I now have some sort of f.u.c.king idea of what will be going on.

'I wasn't in control huh, Won't be turned into a slave, Never give in to temptation and beware of black huh.'

Those were the words that Suleras had told me.

Taking out my notebook I wrote all of them down.

I couldn't rely too much on memory, I had to be sure.

After I finished writing them, I put the notebook and pen inside my spatial inventory.

Still laying on the ground for a bit. I spoke out loud.

" How is Suleras?"

Remembering him bleeding from all orifices present on his face, I asked Lanesha, and I got a reply soon.

[Supreme Dragon Of Ice Lanesha says she does not know and is worried.]

Worried huh.

"So, can at least you tell me who 'It' is?"

...

...

...

No response huh, figured as much.

But then I heard something.

[Supreme Dragon Of Ice Lanesha says 'It' Is the child of The abyss, AND TO NEVER MENTION IT AGAIN.]

Woah angry huh.

Well, I understood her now, Suleras was probably fighting for his life against...

That thing.

[Supreme dragon of Ice Lanesha Says that he is an idiot.]

Hm?How so?

[Supreme Dragon Of Ice Lanesha says that all men just follow their instincts, And never think things through]

...

"Pfft.."

[Supreme dragon Of Ice Lanesha Asks the reason for your laugh.]

I didn't stop laughing although I received her message.

Finally, after regaining my composite I said.

"Yeah, We are idiots that don't think things through most of the time...

But...

That's what makes us...Us I guess."

And with that, I stood up and sat down on the sofa.

I was Just reorganizing my thoughts.

Processing what had occurred into reasonable statements.

After thinking for about half an hour.

I took out my phone and looked at it.

Checking the date, I was a bit surprised.

It was 30th December and the time was 5:07.

I had skipped a day, And on top of that, I had a dozen missed calls from the one that now held my life in her hands.
