‘Damn it! Why aren’t you reacting to his pressure? He is obviously releasing the aura outside.’ Brian was terrified. He didn’t understand why they weren’t reacting to his pressure; after all, Onix was known as a peace-loving creature who would fight whenever they sensed the aura of a strong person around them.
Suddenly, Brian noticed something else. His aura. It wasn’t the same as before. Brian had felt the aura. It was overbearing, but now, it was simple like water; even so, it was immense.
Gulp!
“Y-y-you are the real body?” Brian looked at him with shock and asked.
“Isn’t it obvious? You are surprised why these weasels don’t attack me, right? Well, now you have the answer. Do you really think Galaxy Controller has the guts to attack a Celestial?” Dragon Lord replied with a smirk on his face.
At this moment, Julia and Ely sensed a strange similarity in the man in front of them.
Brian clenched his fist and thought.
‘What happened to her? Did she lose? Why did she let him come here? Did she not know where we are?’
“You truly are amazing to find one of the tools left by your race. I never expected you to find it so soon, but it only made things easier for me. Now, I just have to kill you and take your daughter to find more weapons.” Dragon Lord smirked as he condensed golden energy in his finger.
‘Why? Why does he want to kill me and keep Julia safe? Wait, if I remember correctly, my blood didn’t open the door. It was Julia’s blood. That means her blood is necessary to access all of those weapons.’
‘Damn it! He is going to kill me right now.’
Brian instantly smashed his GMD and transformed. His hair became silver, and his eyes turned red. He immediately transformed his mana into the blood and formed a shield.
Bang! Splash!
A golden light sparkled out of his finger, turning into a sharp line. It pierced the shield and then pierced his right chest.
“Dad” “Brian!”
James and Ely instantly reacted. James unconsciously transformed into the second stage. He rushed toward the Dragon Lord and punched, but his figure was frozen before he could land a punch on the Dragon Lord.
“You are much stronger than him. But, just like him, you are challenging me too early.” Dragon Lord sneered as he made James freeze in mid-air.
James also heard his words but didn’t understand a single thing.
Dragon Lord looked at Julia’s eyes and, seeing the horror in her eyes, laughed.
“Hahaha! You are indeed brilliant. I am not the Dragon Lord from this universe. He is currently facing off against that old woman.”
Then, he looked at James and continued, “You came for me. After his death, you found everything and came to kill me, but in the end, you still died at my hands. This time won’t be any different.”
Dragon Lord opened his palm, and the golden energy gathered in his palm. But suddenly, a strong force appeared next to James and tapped his shoulder.
James finally moved his body, but Elden’s soul pushed him away. James realized that even with the second stage of transformation, he couldn’t fight. With a frustrated expression, he clenched his fist.
“Humph! Even with your real body, you can’t defeat me. Just die already!” Dragon Lord didn’t target James and shot the golden beam of light at Elden. Elden instantly released his mana domain and condensed three layer space wall.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The golden light pierced through all three walls and struck him. The golden light almost pierced his soul. Elden felt extremely weak and wanted to run, but he was still under Ely’s command, so he couldn’t run away.
‘Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! How can we survive? How? Should I use Heavenly Dragon Guard? I must protect my daughter. I must use it.’ Brian was almost on the verge of using the Heavenly Dragon Guard when a word rang in his mind.
‘Sinner’
His eyes widened as he clenched his fist.
‘I am not a hero, but I don’t want to become a sinner. I might be able to save them, but what about Ely and Charlotte? What about Lena and Lucy? Barry and director, everyone will die if I use it.’
‘But, I need to think of a way. Something! I must find a way to save them……. Ahhhh!’
Suddenly, he felt like he was struck by lightning when he finally realized something. He quickly looked at the right side.
‘Probably five million light years! We should be able to reach there with Elden’s transformation. But, first, I need to distract Dragon Lord.’
Brian walked toward Ely while Dagon Lord was facing off against Elden. Dragon Lord’s eyes shifted toward him as he was curious about what Brian wanted to do.
“I will fight him. Give me the control of Elden!”
Hearing his words, Dragon Lord paused for a moment before bursting into laughter.
“Hahaha! You think this guy can face me? You think a galaxy controller with only a soul can stop? Okay! Okay! I will give you a chance. Make one move, and I will make one move as well.”
“If I don’t finish him off in a single move, I will stop chasing you.”
It wasn’t that Dragon Lord was being arrogant. If he truly wanted to kill Elden in one move, even if he was fully alive, he would die in a single move against the celestial.
That’s the difference between Omega, Galaxy Controlling Realm, and Celestial.
Dragon Lord stared at Brian with a suspicious gaze. He released a powerful sense that covered nearly twenty million light years of distance.
‘With his current power, Elden can only teleport ten million light years at once. If he tries to run away, I will kill him instantly. He should know that as well.’
‘I am truly curious what gave him the courage to fight me. Did he realize something? Did he find that he could summon the weapons? He shouldn’t have, right?’
‘Otherwise, he would’ve summoned the weapon from the start. No! He doesn’t even have the powers to summon the weapon yet. Only his daughter has that power.’
Brian was fidgeting a bit. He needed to excuse the Heavenly Dragon Guard at an insane time. They would die if he messed up even a bit, or he would become a sinner and lose his family.
It’s a life and death moment.
‘One mistake and everything ends. I can’t make any mistakes.’
‘Lily, activate Heavenly Dragon Guard in 0.00000000001 seconds after we reach the destination through teleportation. Start all preparation instantly. Our lives depend on you.’ Brian took a deep breath after dumping everything on Lily.
“Sir, this is truly a hard task. I would’ve called it impossible, but now, I feel like I can do it.” Lily’s voice rang in his ears.’
‘Oh! Did you upgrade yourself? Congratulations! Now, I am even more confident. Okay, I will start now.’
Brian raised his hand and released the dark strings out of his finger. He put those strings on Elden. Seeing this, Dragon Lord laughed.
“Hahaha! Don’t tell me this is your plan. You think puppetry will help you? Well, you are free to try but do it fast. I am not going to wait more than a minute now.”
Dragon Lord wasn’t going to make a mistake. He didn’t want Time Corps to follow him. So, he tried to kill them and ran away before anyone else noticed him.
After all, the Dragon Lord of this universe was still fighting against the Great Prophet. If they notice two Celestial Rank Dragon Lords, they would definitely feel suspicious and talk about this to the Time Corp.
Brian used the strings on Elden but he didn’t control it rather gave his instruction through his mind. He just repeated the hand sign that he usually does before using that technique.
Seeing this, Dragon Lord sneered.
‘Does he really thinks he can escape?’
“Great Teleportation Technique”
Suddenly, Brian, Ely, Julia, James, and Elden’s soul were teleported somewhere else. Dragon Lord followed his position and when he saw where they teleported to, his eyes widened.
“No! No! NOOOOOOOOO!”
Dragon Lord roared so loud that his voice shook the galaxy. He quickly realized that he would attract someone’s attention and retreated instantly. But, he couldn’t help but clench his fist and curse Brian in his mind.
‘Damn you, Brian! Damn you! Even if you wanted to die, why did you bring your daughter to death with you? Damn it! I made a mistake…… Wait…. He isn’t someone who will sacrifice his daughter alongside him rather he is someone who will sacrifice himself for his daughter.’
‘Then, why did he enter the Black Hole?’
Dragon Lord’s eyes widened when he asked that question himself.
At this moment, inside the middle of the black hole, there was a hexagonal-shaped purple barrier. Inside it, Brian, James, Ely, Julia, and Elden were sitting.
“We escaped?” James’s eyes widened when he didn’t see Dragon Lord appearing in front of him. But, he couldn’t see anything at all. It felt like there was nothing but blackness. The only light was exiting out of the barrier itself.
“What is this?”
