Chapter 685 A Limitless Blue Dream

SPLASH! Arad's massive claw extended from the water, grasping into the sandy open beach. He emerged, looking at the water beneath his legs, "So the sea has a drop point after going a few meters into the water. If someone swam too far from the beach, they could suddenly find themselves drowning." He started walking toward the beach, shaking the water off his scales like a dog.

"Arad!" Eris rushed toward him, followed by Nina, "Is it her?"

Arad shifted into his humanoid form and pulled the stone cube from his stomach, "Yeah, she's locked in here. It's similar to the one Vars locked brother inside,"

"A seal?" Nina stared at the cube, "We should get Merlin to look at it,"

"How did Gojo get out?" Eris asked, "Can't Zephyr do the same?"

"I bet brother has a higher concentrated damage than Zephyr. He was able to pierce through the seal's barrier," Arad replied, "And don't forget we're void dragons. We have it easier dealing with extra-dimension barriers like this."

"So," Eris looked at the cube, "If she still didn't get out, that means she's either unable to get out on her own or has spent too much energy fighting Vlad and now has nothing to eat inside and replenish her power."

"Can you break it from here?" Nina looked at Arad, "By biting it like a nutcracker?" nove(l)bi(n.)com

"I don't know if that'll work, and I might end up hurting her," Arad shook his head, "It's better we take a careful approach. He looked at the cube, "But we also can't waste time."

Arad sucked the cube back into his stomach and lifted Eris and Nina to his back with Gravity magic.

He slowly turned, looking at the smoke rising from the ground. The whole island had been devastated, burned, and crushed by their battle. "The harbingers of doom, now that descriptions make sense for us. Wherever there is a conflict involving us, the land ends up destroyed," He remembered the forest where he fought the young dragon, the red dragon that Alcott faced, Riverside, Vlad's kingdom, and now the capital.

"I do leave a trail of destruction and doom wherever I go," Arad sighed, "I'm supposed to be nothingness, yet here I am being destruction, I'm death." He flapped his wings, flying toward the capital's harbor.

"Arad, it isn't your fault," Eris looked at him, "You never started the fights,"

"But," He mumbled, "I'm the one who blasted the island."

"That doesn't matter," Nina looked at him, "Vlad would've done more damage if left alone. Hundreds, if not thousands of people around the world were dying from the vampire's rampage, but killing Vlad stopped them."

"You're right," Arad replied, "But I feel like this happens a lot," He could remember walking back to Alina with the villages of Riverside, and even the time he brought the barbarians after blasting their forest fighting Shi, the half-tarrasque.

Arad reached the harbor and looked around for a safe place to land, he quickly saw a patch of destroyed land, seemingly a part of the harbor that was blasted with a powerful spell.

He slowed down and tucked his wings on his back, using gravity magic to slowly descend and land.

Eris and Nina looked at the city from Arad's back, seeing most of it as he was too tall.

"It's worth a try," Arad looked at him, "For them, it'll be better than living each day not knowing whether a vampire king is about to skewer them the next day or not,"

"That should be left for them to decide, and I can assure you there is no gravity magic in the world that could live such mass to the sky." Kinryuu looked at the streets.

"For now, we can't do anything. But give me a century, a thousand years even. I might be able to figure something up with gravity magic." Arad smiled at the sky, "Tens of continents floating in the sky, a near limitless land in the blue sky floating between the snow-white clouds. Limitless blue,"

Arad blinked, remembering the vision he saw with Doma's future foresight when he was fighting the demon lord of fungus Zuggtmoy. ^Those countless islands floating in the sky, the chants of those weird priests,^

He smiled, "I can achieve it. I'm certain of that."

"Where is that confidence coming from? Is it the dragon's arrogance, young blood?" Kinryuu smiled, "I thought you were less hot-blooded than the rest of the youngins,"

"I keep my word," Arad looked at him with a smile, "I have a vision of a better world, and it'll come to reality."

They walked across the street until they reached the largest church in the capital. Arad stood and looked at the cracked, blood-stained wall. This is where he got married several weeks ago, and now it's a mess.

"Arad!" Alcott called from everyone sitting behind the church, "We're here,"

"I can see you," Arad turned around the church with only a few steps, stopping for Eris and Nina to step off his back.

"What happened to Vlad?" Meryem stared at Arad.

"Dead," Arad replied.

Kinryuu pulled the ball of ash and sent it floating toward Ginger, "Probably I should give you this for a second,"

Ginger looked at the ball of ash, "Father," She looked at Arad, "You could've left something for me to burn,"

"Didn't want to risk him regenerating," Arad replied, but he then stared at her, "But can't you feel it? The blood inside you?"

"I do," Ginger sighed, "Why did you leave it to me?"

"I didn't. It's bound to blood, and you're the only heir to the throne," Arad sat down, looking at Alcott, "She's the current vampire queen. That would make the vampire king,"

"That doesn't sound good," Alcott sighed, "But at least we can keep an eye on the vampires,"

"The war is over," Merlin said, staring at the sky.
