Chapter 532 - Three Worlds In One (1/2)
It was a regular old high school, it was the only thing that could be said about the place. Kids were running through the school halls in their uniforms. Some were playing in the playground while the teachers continued to tell off some of them for being too energetic.
On top of the school roof, a single student was seen looking out behind a fence. He had red spiked hair and looked at all the students and the city out in the distance.
”You always did like high places with nice views. You're quite easy to track down. You know if someone was looking for you it would be easy to find you.” A female student said walking towards the red haired one.
”Well, it's a good thing that no one is looking for me anymore. I guess it just means I'm no longer needed.” The boy said with a smile. ”The days of the great dragon Sen protecting the human race seem to be over.”
The red haired boy in the school uniform was none other than Ray. A long time ago, when Ray had completed his 1000 tasks he was spot on with his guess as to what would happen to him. He had reverted back to his dragon self, but at that moment, after saying his goodbyes, he wondered if the world needed him anymore, he had lived a long life, but at the same time he wasn't ready to fully leave everyone behind.
Although as cruel as it might have been at the time, Ray knew what he was doing. He decided to trick his mother into making it so his body looked like it was disappearing using one of his spells, but he would continue to protect the world in his dragon form. From time to time he would also transform himself as a human to protect the others.
Many things happened that Ray got to witness. The closing of the beasts' nests. The humans had destroyed almost every single one on earth leaving none of them. The advancement of technology and the growth of the world. However, there were some sad parts as well.
The death of his friends, family and more, he saw all of them pass on with time but continued to protect the race from any upcoming threats, until today. He had requested Bliss to come fetch him as he had one last thing he wanted to do.
”You know, you could just carry on living your life as a human, you don't have to do this Ray. There are still dangers out there they might face.” Bliss said. ”The gods' powers have weakened over time, and even those with powers don't realise it since there has been no need for them to be used. Magic is almost non-existent, only a few families pass it on and have decided to keep it a secret.”
Ray took a deep sigh, and looked at his hands, his body and the whole school behind him.
”I grew to like my human form that's all, and why do you think I asked you to take me to that place again. The humans are playing with fire, have you heard of this new thing called the Alterds? They are finding old beasts fossils and mixing them with humans to create some type of superhuman. Still, I just think that my time to look over them has ended, perhaps there are others that will take over the job for me when I'm gone, and if need be, I will guide them a little bit.”
”Very well.” Bliss replied. ”I see you have made up your mind.”
Walking away together, Ray thought he was going to miss this world, but he had thought that for a long time already.
”Hey, did you know that Jack's ancestor goes to this school. I think his name is Gary or something, he has some wild Green hair.” Bliss said.
”There was a reason why I picked this school.” Ray chuckled back.
The two of them walked down an alleyway between two large buildings and then, pulling out her special wand that was disguised as an umbrella, she started to draw a magic circle large enough for the two of them to fit inside.
