Chapter 1020 Takeover

The 'meteor' reached the ground first and immediately left the spot where the Black Dragon would be dropping down.

Bell approached the rest of the group with his partially burnt armor and clothes. But before he could say anything, Finn started first with a frown, "I thought we agreed that Ais would have to be the one who gives the finishing blow?"

"I apologize, but I can't let it escape and cause harm somewhere else." Bell briefly retorted and didn't back down from his pressure. In fact, he was able to easily push Finn's pressure away thanks to the Black Dragon dropping behind him with a loud thud.

Finn clicked his tongue but couldn't say anything back. They indeed agreed that Ais would take the last shot but that's only because a strange man warned them that she has to do so and hinted that they'll face some unknown consequence if not. Truthfully speaking, those claims are dubious at most, and worst of all, Loki and Aria didn't tell them anything about this and only said that they'll leave the final decision to them.

And if he were to choose something, he'll take the sure subjugation of the Black Dragon over Ais taking the last shot.

Finn sighed and was about to issue a retreat order when Bell suddenly continued his words with a frown, "Is what I'd like to say... But that thing isn't dead yet."

Bell then turned around with arcs of lightning once again emerging from his skin. As they followed his gaze, they saw the unmoving Black Dragon start bubbling as if its scale started to boil over.

"W-what's happening?" Lefiya asked in a panicked voice. Although she's relatively fine, she's already spent and that's the same for most of them.

When they saw that the Black Dragon started melting and seeping through the broken pavement, Tenestra shouted while preparing her attack spell, "It's still trying to escape! Attack it now!"

Soon a barrage of Magic Attack bombarded the Black Dragon but it continued to seep through the ground.

"Dammit!" Tsubaki cursed and brought out her remaining assorted Magic Swords to break the ground it was trying to escape to, though in hindsight, that only made it worse for everyone as that only created a smokescreen of dust and debris.

The elite team kept attacking the spot where the Black Dragon is and has no intention of stopping until it was obliterated forever, but at some point, the small White and Gold Dragon that accompanied them didn't participate in the battle because her sole role was to watch Ais, suddenly let out a cry full of worry and panic.

"We... We're not yet sure if that's the case!" Lefiya retorted from the distance, "We have to separate her from this black substance!"

"And how do you suggest we do that?" The silver-haired Dark Elf, Hogni, stepped out, "Isn't taking action and breaking that 'egg' the fastest and most sensible way we could do it?"

Finn and Gareth also agreed but they couldn't honestly go through it and attack the egg since they didn't have the same carelessness as the members of the Freya Familia, 'And I can't just make this a Loki Familia problem since the Black Dragon is involved... Is this what that man was warning us about?' thought the former while biting on his thumb nail.

Bell, on the other hand, was feeling a bit guilty because this could be technically because he landed the finishing move on the Black Dragon and caused it to act this way.

All of a sudden, Shakti raised her voice, "Stop arguing! Nothing would be done if we don't agree on something so instead of clashing, let's think of what we should do! And if there's someone who could help, it'll probably be them!" She then pointed towards the sky where Serafall and the Deities she's guarding approached the group.

Serafall and the Deities landed and all heard and saw what was happening. While only Zeus and Hermes knew what was really going on, they only had a guess as to what a solution could be. Serafall, meanwhile, immediately dismissed Shakti's words, "What are you talking about? I'm only here to watch the show closer~!"

"W-what?" Lefiya let out a dumbfounded voice and everyone else had the same reaction as her, wondering what else the 'show' is.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the 'show' revealed itself to them without them being able to do anything.

The egg first started cracking before the black shell was blasted through by a monstrous arm covered in black scales and had long and terrifying claws. Next was a pair of black wings spreading out of the shell before a black tail punctured outwards.

As the shell collapsed into pieces and onto the ground, the elite team could only stand frozen when they saw Ais with black hair, red eyes, sharp teeth, a pair of black wings, a tail, transformed Draconic limbs, and finally black scales that dotted her whole body. There was no reason that could be seen on Ais' face but only that it was warped in rage.

"GRAAAHHHHH!!!!!"

Only after she let out a roar that was most certainly impossible for her throat that everyone realized that it was already too late.
