Chereads / Shadow Emperor in Another World / Chapter 127 - [Chapter 125] A Battle Of Interests

Chapter 127 - [Chapter 125] A Battle Of Interests

I quickly tap the black hologram as the screen expands and a box fills the view of it. 'Thank god I built this defense system, I knew it would be if use at some point but not now.'

I look at the screen as I see about 10,000 soldiers marching across the field, trampling the flowers in their wake. As I see the flowers crushed beneath them, I feel a crushing feeling in my heart. This field has been here since I can remember, even when building my lab of sorts, I moved the flowers to a grassy area, trying to preserve their beauty.

'I have seen enough.' I think as I suddenly bolt away, the air stirring before Elizabeth as her eyes go wide. Where I once stood is now empty, with nothing but air, as if I was never there.

Winter feels a breeze of air as she is putting her plate in the sink and beginning to wash it. She looks over to see a black blur for barely half a second before disappearing, the sound of a door opening and closing just as quick enters her ears. She smells the air and her pupils constrict before she quickly dries off her hands and enters the warehouse, asking the messy Elizabeth, "What happened?"

Before Elizabeth can even say a word, Winter has her hand around her throat, unable to react to her speed. Winter's eyes become more wolflike as her tail and ears turn silver, "What happened?!"

Elizabeth lifts her arm as she points at the black hologram, knowing she is no match for Winter as she is using all her mana to just make sure her neck doesn't snap. Winter runs over to the panel and looks at the screen before her complexion darkens even more as she looks over at Elizabeth who is gasping for air. Even with mana protection, Elizabeth couldn't defend against Winter entirely, this showed the weakness of a C rank compared to her.

Winter slowly speaks, seemingly sounding out each variable, "You led an army here?"

I am standing outside as I stare at the approaching army, looking at the emblem they are carrying on their flag. A dual wielding black silhouette with wings on its back, red eyes the only thing in the darkness.

The large wave of silver stops as a blue armored Dragonborn riding a horse comes forward, speaking in a somewhat extravagant and mighty tone.

"Excuse me citizen, have you seen any adventurers around this area?" He asks as he gazes at the large building behind me, apparently labeling me as unimportant.

I tilt my head, "What adventurers? What did they do?" I ask while changing my face to a curious look, trying to throw them off.

He finally looks down at me as if labeling me as finally worthy of being seen. Suddenly, his eyes constrict as he looks at my human form before quickly trying to mask it.

I continue to stare at him as I ask, "What did they do?"

He tries to speak like he did before, but I can hear a bit of disgust in his voice, "That is restricted information....." he says as he gazes back up at the house connected to the massive warehouse. "....and who else lives with you for you to own such a large house? You don't seem rich enough to own a house like this with your...demeanor."

I look at him with an irritated look as I have had enough of his interrogation, "I don't have to tell you anything other than I haven't seen whoever your looking for. I have been generous enough to show you this much face. Have a good day."

I turn around, preparing to enter my house as my stomach silently rumbles. 'I still have yet to even take a bite of my breakfast because of all these distractions.'

As I turn around and begin to walk away, the Dragonborn in blue armor is staring at me with anger, 'How dare he turn his back on a royal messenger, and he even talked back to me so rudely!' He turns his head around and yells to the army, "Search the building!" The army suddenly moves forward as one group as they begin to march towards my house.

'He must have something in that large warehouse, I can take it back to the prince as compensation for my failure.' He thinks as he sees me turn around, but instead of seeing a face of fear, he sees one of pure rage.

"I gave you face, I tolerated your interrogation, and I gave you a chance to leave, now you and your poor soldiers will face the consequences." I say as 2 more eyes open on my head, resting above the first pair, creating rows. I begin to grow as scales cover my entire body and my face elongates, my clothes rip into shreds. Horns and a large tail sprout from my body as I increase in size. Black flames surround me as my legs bend and crack becoming more beast like. My arms split in 2 as the muscle underneath the newly formed skin bulges before the newly created ones split again, creating a total of 8 limbs.

The already stunned soldiers to stand horrified as my size increases, realizing they messed with the wrong being. The proxy's once arrogant air is gone as he stares up at my towering form with fear in his eyes as a wet substance forms in his crotch area.

2 massive wings split from my back as they grow to double my size in length, covering the land in darkness. I glare down at the now ant like proxy as he stares at my large form with horror. I lay my arms on the earth as quakes form from the ground. Finally, my tail splits in 2, completing my transformation as I am now at a height of 220 ft, a length of 300 ft, and two 50ft long horns rest on my head as a black crown of flames forms.

I look down at them as I smile my new large grin and adapt to my new vision. 'I can see a lot more now, this feeling of power is amazing!' I think as I look down at the proxy who is now yelling and begging for his life, finally breaking from his horrified stupor. "Please spare me! I did not know you had such power!" I look down at him as I raise one of my arms, the claws longer than even him.

Inside The Building

—————————————————————

Elizabeth was being thrashed around by Winter when they suddenly feel a tremor beneath their feet, as if an earthquake has appeared, throwing them off balance. They look at eachother before Winter gets up and runs over to the black screen, only to yelp in shock. Elizabeth glances at the screen only to freeze in place as she sees the massive form, images appearing in her mind, "The Dragon God is real?!" She exclaims in awe as she stares at the large form.
