Chapter 621 - 566: The Good And The Evil (2) (1/2)
As things started getting heated, the situation on the 49th floor wasn't getting any better either. Arthur and Lucy met with three other contestants but they didn't fight as they were too preoccupied with the meteor shower and the thing that's trying to escape from the breaking scarlet moon.
A wheel made of blue lightning was floating next to the couple, this was Raad, the lightning spirit and one of the contestants. In addition to the spirit, there was also Demon Lord Setros and Hach'ara, who both were frightened.
The ginormous wings which stretched from within brought with them dread that scared even the most powerful individuals. Arthur looked at the trembling Lucy, not understanding what the fuss was really about. It was then that he discovered that he was unable to feel any kind of fear so he wasn't affected by the aura of the monster inside the moon.
”T-that can only Sigradzomr, the Elder Dragon.”
”Sigradzomr?”
Arthur had never seen a living being this big, moreover, this one didn't seem to belong to any of the three dragon races. The upper part of the wings was made of a yellow-ish armor while the rest had an illusory red shade. The sheer size of the wings alone is enough to cover all of the MoonStar city, if not more.
”Supposedly, he's the father of the Dragon Emperor. He disappeared a long time ago, I never thought he's imprisoned here.”-Hach'ara
”He's a supreme entity which had existed ever since the Era of Beginning. If it's really him, we better leave immediately.”- Setros
The Demon Lord, which, for the sake of his title, always behaved elegantly and wore a black suit, glanced at the large wings and commented. With the exception of Arthur, everyone was shaking from head to toe, it was the kind of instinctive fear that everyone feels when they meet an entity that is superior to them.
Arthur held Lucy closer to him and raised a few barriers of different attributes just in case. The moon was slowly being destroyed and the figure of the Elder Dragon started showing up. The contestants were afraid but no one used the Escape Ticket as they wanted to reach the top floor and receive the prizes.
Apart from this group, several other contestants were currently freaking out and getting as far from source of danger as possible.
Meanwhile, things were getting pretty rough in the World of Darkness. In addition to Forne and Zodiak, Celes also appeared and started helping the old Dark Magic-user.
The Black Seat of Death was still dealing with the white-haired undead girl, who was very strong and was able to defend against the violent Destruction Magic cast by her enemy.
The Grey Seat of Decay charged at Sol'khin and tried to grasp his hand to use her ability, however, when she got close to her target, she was blasted to the other side by one of Leiu's fingers.
Sol'khin released a formless force which easily countered the incoming enemy, then he jumped back, easily dodging a large hand made of Dark Magic.
”Come on, Zodiak, do you really think such childish actions are going to work? We're supposed to think alike…”
In response, the old man snorted and took out several talismans, which he then split in two, causing his body to be enveloped by Dark Blue flames, his aura also increased by several folds.
”Go help Forne!”
He motioned for Celes to aid the Black Seat while he vanished from his spot and instantly appeared before the grinning Sol'khin. The dark blue flames cascaded upon the armored youth, who raised his hand and blocked a part of it but when Zodiak spun in the air and kicked him, the attack dealt enough damage to push the surprised enemy.
”Kekekeke you're really lively today.”
He calmly retrieved Anduril from his back and swung at Zodiak. It was a simple attack but the power unleashed by the two-handed sword was more than enough to extinguish the wave of flames and sent the target flying hundreds of meters away.
