9 The final showdown, ancient dragon shakes the earth - Part 2. (2/2)
”Also, protect your ears well after finishing with your part.” he added.
”Ears?” Thought lingered in Akashiro's mind but she did what Ryuu told her.
As vigorous thunder element entered inside the rifle, Ryuu began directing them very precisely forming small circular thunderbolts around the rail of a rifle.
”Ancient Dragon Shakes The Earth!” Divine voice spread enveloping area of surrounding fifty kilometers in diameter, as the source being the ten-colored dragon.
”..... CLANG!!!! .. KKKKKKABBBBBBOOOOOOM!” An extremely deafening explosion reverberated through the forest as the ten-colored dragon and gloomy red object flew in opposite directions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
High in the sky, two massive forms were leading the intensive battle - Dragon versus Centipede!
”Asura, DIE!” Centipede screamed as a sudden burst of grey light rushed out of it in mad waves.
”Not good! We can't hold on!” Aito said.
Just as they were being pushed back, both of the forms stagnated instantaneously upon hearing the divine voice as deafening sonic boom reached them shortly after coming from a small rift above them.
”WHAT THING!?” Centipede screamed in horror releasing bright wite shield.
It probably thought those were reinforcements from Asuras' side.
In an instant, gloomy crimson projectile appeared out of nowhere - to be precise - from a spatial crack, followed with dark cracks and loud boom behind it.
How terrifying it was showed the fact that it torn the space itself.
The deafening explosion burst out at point-blank distance, falling on the gloomy white shield which immediately shattered under that massive compressed energy accompanied with a shrill sad scream which soon vanished in a thunderous elemental explosion.
Golden blue dragon was already a few kilometers away from the explosion, grabbing a chance to run away when the centipede turned its attention to the distant part of the forest.
As Aito wanted to turn around and see what happened, his golden dragon form suddenly felt extreme heat and the next instant the dragon was flying away being pushed by an invisible and strong burst of air, which evidently came from the explosion.
”AGH!” Haruhi screamed being unable to support the strong pushing force that immediately fell on them.
”Haruhi! Are you okay?” Aito shouted as they left the fusion while Aito took all the burden of the impact, flying at an astonishing speed and landed on the ground making a two-meter-deep dent in it.
When they landed, Aito's vision fell on the place where the explosion took place a moment ago. Haruhi was already unconscious whereas Aito's face had a terrific expression with mouth wide open and eyes almost popping out. It would be strange if he wasn't aghast at the vivid scene in front.
”What the hell is that???” His mind was in turmoil witnessing a shocking scene as he was unable to even breathe let alone move from the place.
Terrifying earthquake soon reached them as the ground trembled in madness from the impact. However, could that be all considering the fact that this projectile was the joint effort of two primordial beasts and two extraordinary young fellows backed by the ruler of the Sacred Spirit Forest? Of course not, don't even joke about it.
The colorful ten-colored thunderbolts zapped through the air dancing rapidly whereas, in their center, a massive gloomy-red spherical beam of light twisted at an astonishing speed resembling a tornado that got trapped in a sphere. Anything that came in contact with it would be torn to pieces while it was expanding at an alarming rate causing the earthquake to become even stronger.
Annihilation! Not even a speck of dust being left behind by the merciless twister! Complete obliteration! Aito's thoughts were completely uncontrollable as his brain was revolving rapidly, trying to figure out what is currently taking place in front of himself.
”Time to run!” he came back to his senses and quickly soared with little spirit power left to the safety. He must ensure the wife's safety first, then he will check the situation out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
”W-ww-wha~” Akashiro couldn't stay poker-faced anymore similar expression taking place on her beautiful face as Aito had a moment ago. ”What ... the h-hell?”.
”LITTLE MONSTER! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!” She yelled at the top of her lungs in the direction where ten-colored dragon flew being forced back by the recoil.
”Mother, help!” Tenko's panicked voice shouted.
”What's going on?!” She asked.
”He! H-He ... *sob*” Tenko couldn't control her tears at the sight of her lover.
His little body was completely red stemming from the ruptured blood vessels, fractured bones and blood rushing out in torrents.
”He took all of the burden himself! That fool, If he ... Because of me if he ... what would I do if ...” she didn't have the courage to finish her thought.
”AH!” Akashiro's short scream escaped her mouth when she saw the state Ryuu was left in and soon enough, realizing her daughter's condition she quickly said: ”It's okay, he will make it. He's a monster, how can he... He'll be fine I'm sure of it.” Akashiro said.
”Augh... you *cough* are heavy.” a hoarse voice came from beneath, originating from the boy in Tenko's arms.
”RYUU! RYUU ARE YOU OKAY! YOU FOOL IF YOU DON'T GET BETTER I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!” Tenko yelled as hard as she could, tears rushing out like a waterfall.
Can you blame her? Her lover took everything upon himself almost leaving him in a half-dead state.
”S-Sorry, I couldn't let you *cough* get hurt because of*cough* ... ... *cough* of my ... *cough* problems.” Ryuu said with difficulty.
”Don't talk! You owe me an apology later so you must definitely get well!” Tenko said and disregarding the time, place and everything else, her soft lips fell on Ryuu's as one hot stream left her mouth and entered in Ryuu's body.
As soon as the stream entered, an instantaneous transformation began appearing on Ryuu's little body; His fractured bones began healing at an alarming rate, blood vessels re-assembling and lost blood returning from the hot energy.
Ryuu felt one marvelous sensation spread through his body and penetrate deep within his spirit and sea of consciousness. At that moment his strength returned as the weak Tenko fell in his bosom.
”Tenko?! Mother-in-law, what happened!” Ryuu asked seeing the unconscious lover in his bosom, scared that something might have happened to her because of his rash decision.
”This girl! Boy, you are really fierce to make her fuse spirit origin with yours. From now on, you two are genuinely one soul in two bodies.” Akashiro said making Ryuu's worry elevate. ”Also, you were too rash in making that dumb decision. Do you think her nearly thousand-year cultivation is for fun? Her body intensity wouldn't even feel the impact, You big dumbass! I will have to lecture you well after this!”. Akashiro said.
”Ahem! Anyway, what small thing was that? It made a two-kilometer crater in the earth and the air shockwave even reached here!” Akashiro stated seeing Ryuu get back to normal.
”Haha.” Ryuu smiled awkwardly scratching his nose. ”It's something I learned in my past life, could you keep it a secret please?” He said.
”Ahhhhhh. Fine, but you owe me an explanation later. First, let's get you two back.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
”Ancient dragon shakes the earth... I will remember that name.” Beautiful silhouette of a guy carrying a girl in her twenties princess-style entered the inter-spatial gate leaving everything behind as one suffocating feeling filled his heart.
”Ryuu, your parents will be eagerly waiting for you!” Aito said before entering the gate with his wife, glancing once more in direction of the Sacred Spirit Forest.
”Whoever helped us, we will return the favor one day!” He said as he turned around and disappeared in interplanetary space-time gate leading to another planet.
