Astral Queen Pov
'Ben I hope you are okay!'
as soon as I felt that immense wave of death energy from the abyss as well as the pure abyss energy entering the arena its second waiting room for the public, where the party is currently going.
"How did I only felt that energy now?!"
I was extremely vigilant as my only son with him could be dead by now. I tried to calm my nerves but it was hopeless... if I lose him, what is left of him? Can I really see my son die again like in my weird dreams?
I am anxious but my head remain calm, giving me time to think about the situation. My pure astral energy boost my thought process and the world seemed in slow motion right now.
'Where is he and where are his friends?!'
Me panicking wasn't ideal so I pushed a red orb of light down, calming me and erasing all kind of emotions. What a great effect of the Astral energy... if that hadn't cost her life.
My eyes are frantically searching for him and his friends by spreading my astral energy and activating my unique skill.
[Unique Skill: Eyes of the Stars has been activated]
My vision changed, as everything constructed out of plain black materials changed to a night sky with different burning stars as well as constellation started to show at the walls, floors and ceilings. The Mana I could barely sense, is now flying in front of me in small packages, froming a star and crytals radiating different hues.
"Oh did your mom didn't taught you not to peek at random strangers"
A dark red with dim green hue star emerged behind me, the star burning bright yet being pitch black similiar to a dark hole.
^WHOOM^
The room behind me exploded as all of the other stars like the first one appeared out of the hole he made with his punch. They are holding small yet so bright stars, almost flashing me however my eyes tremebled as I look at the person in his hand. Deactivating my skill to be sure I am seeing it right.
"Oh how cute, the mom deactivated her all mighty unique skill to check if that is your... daughter-in-law right?"
He is holding a limping body of a person I thought my eyes would never see again... the cursed child we hold outside the village and... Ben his first love.
"Oh isn't she cute with her white hair traveling down her frail body and look at these emeralds of eyes"
My body didn't move... I now that if I don't move she will be safe on the other hand then I am in danger along with the other students that are hostages right now.
His smile on his face held not even an ounce of emotion, it was a puppet like face, mocking me from far away yet so close to me. He was about to swing his hand down along with his hand grip on her throat tighten.
'NO!!!'
"Too late Astral queen, Ho-" ^Spurt^
The dark blood is goozing out of his wound, out of every abyss person their hands. A maw of a huge black eatern dragon appeared, his back having a straight line of fiery black hair folllowing the spine up to his head, his head having two curvy horns as little electric sparks happened from time to time.
'How can a being possess such raw strength to hold an entire dragon maw open without breaking into a sweat?'
The smile of the person with his black hair and hollow black eyes turn to a frown as the person fell lifeless to the ground. The eastern dragon searched with his black slightly violet eyes for any signatures of his energy. Giving me a glance with an agitated vibe.
"Astral queen, go in and clear the damn lackeys of the abyss."
Only now did I realise that this was the same demonic dragon a month ago who did have the horns and hair but not the elmental aspect to them moreover is he strong enough to beat the black snake, The flame empress and eventually an all out going Lightning emperor.
'When did he get so strong?'
My body moved faster than my head did and warped me in the hall as well as some small crystals, blasting them into pieces. My thoughts however are calm as I now understand what he meant that Kim Yong is more helpful than everyone thinks.
"He really did a great job hiding such expensive defensive artifacts on everyone"
I praised while warping to all locations I feel that disgusting Abyss energy. My mind already calculating the movement of the person while my lips curled slightly up, feelling the distortion of space behind me.
An huge black hand reached out of the portal, ready to swat me down. The two dark eyes glowing in a dark green hue, looking at me like I am an insect to him.
"You a pred-" ^BAM^
^BOOM^
"Predictable you say?"
I am stuck in the ground, realising the force behind that hidden attack would have killed me. A bright blue shield emerged before I kissed the ground.
'The talisman I got from my child was an artifact?!'
I am clearly amazed by how far ahead the fake dragon thought to be able to predict all of that. As I see his eyes turning into slits, his pressure descending on me like the old dragon lords might... no even stronger than theirs.
"that child is more cautious than I thought"
His voice felt like the most gruesome sounds you can imagine along with the screeching of thousands of monster mixing in the most wrong way possible. My energy is getting pushed back in my body, manipulating it with force.
His mouth lit up with a dark green fire slowly leaking from it, teeth of dragons are showing as well as the feathers of an onyx hue phoenix, a long snake like tongue leaving his mouth and writing runes at his mouth.
'So that is why everyone said to run as soon as you see a strand of hair of the Abyss lord'
I accepted my fate a bit to easily despite that does it feel hopeless to think about any kind of chances that could lead to victory.. as there aren't exist any.
"To die at the hand of the Abyss lord is really a blessing for me"
He opened his mouth and the flames shot out, reaching me instantaneous not giving me time to think about a goodbye message to my son.
^Whoosh^ ^Spurt^
However my death never came, a vortex of air is sucking everything in the talisman I got from my son, glowing so brightly that my eyes are hurting a bit. The fire disappeared in mere seconds.
"Ho-" ^BOOOM^
A green beam of fire is shoot out so fast that even I can't perceive that it even left the talisman. The beam ripped the dimension itself for a moment in pieces. It hit the abyss lord with an annoyed look on his face as well as shutting the fissure he caused.
^Crack^ ^Crack^
Lightning crackled through the air as Barak the lightning emperor emerged next to me. The moon was covered by a huge silhouette of an eastern dragon and an wyvern or more precisely almost dragon. A shadow is materialising out of the floor showing a relatively alluring and hot woman. Someone covered in sepia colored brawler armor dropped down to the ground, with his white slightly canary Aura around him.
And all inquired from me the same thing.... or are bewildered by how someone can predict this smiliar to seeing the future and stopping the so said future.
"What an horrifying child that fake dragon is."
I muttered under my breath, not caring one bit about their dread clearly visible on their faces. noting mentally not to mess with him in the future and regretting to not have a daughter at the same age as him.
Kim Yong Pov
"So you still are only an old ruler with a lot of power"
I mumbled while dodging every attack of a five metre tall humanoid creature. Yeah that is Lucas and yeah he grew taller which is actually a good sign.
^Clang^
"Haaahaaha B-Boss how long do we need to do this?"
Sven blocking his now razor sharp and burning claws plus radiating the hell fire out of his claws as well as reinforcing them with his own created hell metal out of his hell magma.
By the way hell itself doesn't exist in the novel as well as heaven doesn't exist. The Demon realm isn't called hell despite looking similiar to it as well as the Angel realm, named Celestia by humans and devotees out of respect for their sacrifice.
So it is even more interesting how he got such bloodline or genes with the real hells power in it also is he growing steadily faster now.
"If it continues like that hmm... I think three hours."
Sven is staring at me with his eyes and mouth wide open, same goes for Leyna and Kazuo. William and Edward are now charging at him, knocking him easily a few metres back.
I am smiling since the abyss lord fell right into my trap. Edward his task was it to watch for any signs of foreign energies sneakily invading or gathering somewhere beneath the ground. William should hunt through the city its sewer system and killing any corrupted monsters of any kind of energy.
Lilith her job was to surpress portal creations or someone creating a fissure through space, which is why she is so tired since she is doing that for 35 hours I suppose.
Fallacia and Leyna their jobs were to simply keep Lucas busy with useless stuff like killing villain organisations, fighting in the war zone or going on a date with Leyna.
'I am not the sharpest tool when it comes to love but I can tell the difference between a love struck idiot and a normal friend... especially in this world.'
"ROAAR!"
Lucas roared as his power shot through the S Rank and that is his half ankryraxius form standing at a height of twelve metres, his claws fiercely burning and radiating heat, his spikes glowing moreover forming a turtle shield with spikes on it, his tail a long and terrifying whip with spikes, at the tail end is similiar looking to Morgenstern(Morning star) with death mana releasing from it.
"he will be taller than Edward for a time in his Full form"
I muttered as he again dashed towards me, thinking probably that he can crush me now that he is even more stronger but my part is already done. Edward and William crash in him, pushing that humongous half humanoid form back.
"ROAAR!"
Now Edward roared as he transforms to his draconian form, which is now ten metres tall, and starts to brawl it out with him like beasts. William would sometimes slash his legs or back, forcing him to heal himself and quicken the process.
What am I doing while my teammates are fighting?
I am watching the replay of all defensive artifacts I put on all students, which are transmitting the videos through their connected mana pool, letting me view two amazing fights at the same time.
I am helping them with the hell fire, magma and metals whereas Edward along with William are responsible of blocking the death mana to spread to us as well as injure him a lot.
"We will if it continues like that be finished in one hour and thirty minutes"
Sven hearing that, dashed towards Lucas with a rejuvenated face, dragging Kazuo and Leyna to the frontlines of monsters.
'Abyss lord seem to forgot that I am literally not the person he searches... as I am not a coward moreover am I repaying my debts back tenfolds'
I view the annoyed expression of that Abyss lord before the video cuts off, feeling a sense of euphoria running through my body.
"Hahahaha that annoyed face is so priceless"
I laughed with my hands on my stomach, not getting air from how much I am laughing right now.
'perfect end for the second day if he wouldn't show his true form today'
^Boom^
I see him growing over thirty metres tall hidden behind a curtain of hell fire and death mana.
'.... I raised a red flag didn't I'
