Chapter 76
When I took Dix into my reality marble, I could feel his weight fighting against my magic but now as he was covered in lava there was no feeling or pressure trying to maintain it other than the general mind cost as I hadn't delved deep enough into the world to manifest entirely.
I was fairly certain he was dead but even in my enchanted armor I had no interest in trying to mess with the cursed lava flowing down the slopes of Mordor not to mention I could see massive meteors starting to fall from the initial eruption, so I needed to get out of here as there wasn't anything of value here unless I wanted to try to find the cache of enchanted elven gear and mithril materials Sauron horded in his reign over the eastern lands.
But I was sure that unless I devoted months into trying to find said caches, I wouldn't find anything especially with this Mordor erupting so I quickly was shrouded with fog and seeing I didnt go deep into the world the fog quickly cleared leaving me back in the battle filled room. A mighty roar announced my arrival as the black dragon had somehow in the time, I was gone managed to break its way into the room.
Thankfully this room was massive and reinforced with adamantine so it didnt look to be threating to collapse or anything. The dragon was currently fighting with Bell and Ryuu with the Xenos seeming to have fled the battle, but that was understandable as they only had the equivalent of a single level five Lizard Man Xeno.
'Now that I think about it with Freya not testing Bell and having Ottar train that minotaur have I butterflied away the existence of Asterios, the Xeno minotaur that bodied Ais and Bell harder than anyone ever did?' I thought as I charged to join the battle with the black dragon.
I created a large explosion of flames which blasted apart the thick scales of the black dragon as I rammed into the dragon and thrusted my space coated sword into the dragon and started pouring flames into its chest.
But I wasn't going to be able to get an easy victory as the dragon's long whip like tail snapped into my ribs and punted me across the room but thankfully, I managed to drag my sword with my impromptu impersonation of a football.
"Bell distract the dragon's head, Ryuu try to cripple it's legs!" I called out and as I looked around the room as I ran to rejoin the battle without flying as the dragon was closely paying attention to me, I saw Aisha laying against the wall nursing a set of bleeding legs and arm but thankfully from the brief glance I took that she didnt seem to have lost said limbs.
But my armor allowed me to brave her wind tornado which was only growing in strength. As the dragon roared at the pain of the winds tearing at its wound and then the worse scenario for Ais occurred as the dragon breathed fire into her wind tornado which caused a massive explosion which was like the backhand of a war god throwing Ais like a rock skidding on the surface of a lake.
'Well shit...' I mentally groaned as Ais was launched at me and just as she hit her fourth bounce off the ground I managed to spin in the air and use the motion to bleed off the momentum of catching her.
But before I could put her down or try to give her an elixir as she looked pretty messed up, I heard and felt the dragon charging at me so I could only princess carry Ais in my arms as I blasted off the ground on my jet boots.
"Flash Freeze." I heard a woman speak from behind me and a large beam of silver white light hit the legs of the dragon and slowed it down as ice was clearly flash forming and breaking the already ruined limbs Ryuu had been hacking at this whole fight.
The dragon then fell onto its chest with a loud crack as its front legs seemed to shatter from being frozen and seeing the perfect opportunity I who was still carrying Ais brought my space coated sword down in a powerful dive slamming into the brain of the dragon and feeling its dying twitches I started shooting little space blades all over within its head.
A loud poof rang out as the dragon burst into smoke leaving me and Ais to fall to the ground.
"Here drink this." I tiredly mumbled feeling the weight of making so many space blades and just stuck my health elixir bottle into Ais's mouth and didnt give a damn about Riveria muttering about indirect kisses and what not.
I could see the burns from the explosions and the road burn she had from being sent skidding across the ground start steaming as the elixir began its work and quickly healed her as she blankly stared at me over the bottle she was drinking.
"Jake is sharing an indirect kiss with Ais..." Bell muttered obviously distraught but then I could actually see the haunting image of Eina beating his ass cross his face and he literally lost his harem protagonist halo and turned into a loyal man for the half elf big sister figure which conquered him.
