Walking by foot for fifteen minutes, the group found themselves surrounded by buildings filled with gaps and holes. Each building was wrapped with pinkish vines that had colorful thorns on their surface.
In the ground, there were gaping hole and sunflower with orange petal and dark yellow leaves and stem. Each of them exudes a sense of evil that forces the group to take a detour.
Then they find themselves in a haunting juxtaposition of the grotesque and the beautiful scenery. As they step into this eerie landscape, they are immediately greeted by a bewildering array of bizarre and otherworldly plants. These specimens come in all shapes and sizes, their vivid colors and peculiar structures seeming almost alien. Some plants tower above, with sinuous, sinewy stems that writhe and twist, while others sprawl on the ground like contorted figures in agony.
The ground beneath their feet is littered with a morbid mosaic of animal and human bones, a haunting proof of the grim history of this place. The bones crunch softly underfoot, serving as a constant reminder of the perils lurking in the shadows. The very earth seems to remember the suffering of those who have tread here, their whispers echoing in the wind.
"Fuck this place!" Kidd, who had accidentally stepped on a bone, cursed in fright.
Recca, on the other hand, hid himself behind Caleb, looking around warily. "I'm gonna die. We're gonna die."
"Be quiet." Caleb sighed helplessly.
A pungent stench of blood taints the air as if the very atmosphere is saturated with the essence of violence and death. The aroma is both sickening and strangely alluring, pulling them deeper.
"You guys. Cover your nose." Caleb instructed.
Amidst this surreal and nightmarish shitty landscape, there are remnants of buildings, their structures entwined and cocooned by the voracious plant life. What were once structures of civilization now stand as overgrown and forgotten relics, their original purpose long lost to time.
While walking, Caleb and the Rozho suddenly stop in their tracks.
"Why did you g-gu..."
Before Kidd could even finish his question. He saw Caleb duck out of nowhere, only for a sharp vine to whizz past where Caleb's previous head was. If Caleb didn't duck on time. Kidd realized that he would have penetrated by the pointy vine now.
Rekka gritted his teeth. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
He was really too unlucky. Only three seconds passed. He couldn't use his substitution yet since it was still in a damn cooldown. What to do? It seems he can only use 'that'.
As he thought of this, Rekka's eyes turned azure, as colorful as the blue sky. Then a large yellow aura completely envelopes Rekka. His black hair stood up, every strand completely blue, the same as the color of his eyes! Then the yellow aura that was covering him converges on his fist like a mighty ball.
Caleb and the others were dumbfounded at this scene. They were completely gobsmacked as this was their first time to witness a Legacy Ability! What is Legacy Ability? In simple terms, they are the inherited abilities of high-ranking clan members from their ancestors. Nine Dragon Infinite is one such ability.
All the wines also stopped as if it felt a threat from Rekka's change. Then, each one of them fired themselves towards Rekka.
Caleb was about to make a screen or net of gum gum rubber to neutralize the vines. But before he could do so... Reka finally made his move!
"I am the bone of my dragon, Serenity, my eternal word. With scales of might and eyes of grace, I stand as a guardian of this sacred space.
I am the flame in the heart of the storm, where tranquility and power take form. Infinite skies, endless seas, I span As Ryujin, the Emperor, to protect this land.
Unseen by the world, my presence concealed, infinite might and ancient knowledge revealed. My serenity is my ultimate decree. In this boundless realm, I am truly free.
For I am the First Dragon, the essence of serenity. My reign is absolute, my power a divinity. Through boundless time, I shall transcend, As Ryujin, the Emperor, until the very end."
"First Dragon of Infinite: Ryujin! The emperor dragon of serenity!!"
ROAR!!!!
The heavens and earth shook.
