His presence was like that of a god.
Alma, Hermes, and everyone else watched the scene in shock.
Awe, even. His very power, his very presence, everything within this dragon's entire being was divine.
"I am also an enemy of Greenwood, perhaps one more resourceful in strength, but the connections and information you've built so far, and the people you've saved so far vastly surpass what I've accomplished. Alma, will you let me join your group?" Drake asked with a prideful smile.
"J-Join?" Alma asked.
"Sure! Sure! Join, do whatever you want!" Hermes said with a smile. "C-Can you help us get out of here? And about the jamming devices… Why is my unique skill not working?"
"Hmm, that must be because the jamming device is more than just energy, it is nanomachines, son." Said Drake, as he rubbed his scaled and sharp chin.
"Nano… machines?!" Asked Hermes.
"Well-"
"RAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHH…!"
Suddenly, the conversation was interrupted by the roar of the furious Callon. His entire body began to shapeshift and transform. The very nanomachines Drake mentioned began to fly towards him from everywhere within the facility, shapeshifting his entire body.
His body was covered in countless metallic plates, turning into the shape of a furious quadruped beast resembling a mad silver wolf, as Callon freed himself from the powerful divine ice Drake conjured over his body, as the Dragon King suddenly noticed an enormous divine power overflowing across his body.
"I see, so he used the technology of those mechs I fought before to enhance his body. Certainly, I suppose he can give incredible power to mortals like this. But don't they stop being mortals like this? They simply stop being themselves as a whole… Pointless in the great scheme of things."
"ROOOARRRRRGGR!
The enormous mad silver wolf that Callon became quickly roared back at Drake's comment, jumping straight towards Drake's body and unleashing a barrage of slashing attacks!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
However, the Dragon stood there in silence, as he used his two divine weapons to intercept each wild attack like nothing. His movements were perfect, his intent incredible, and his aura overflowingly divine. Alma and company watched as he completely and carefreely dealt with the insane Callon.
"ROOAAARRR! GRAARRR!"
"It is useless, kid."
SLASH!
His spear swung horizontally, unleashing a powerful and incredibly lethal slash that suddenly spread all across the silver wolf's body, cracks emerged everywhere.
"GRAAARRGGH?!"contemporary romance
Callon roared in surprise as he felt like his entire body was crumbling apart! The nanomachines composing him tried to stop his entire body from being destroyed, holding up and suddenly healing from all cracks.
"That's useless."
Drake swung his spear again, this time, piercing through the metallic mech wolf in front of him a hundred times in a split of a second.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"GRAAAHHH…!"
BAAAM!
The enormous mech fell in the floor, slowly trying to crawl and regenerate, but the nanomachines couldn't move properly, they were all being frozen, and as they froze while being unified as one, the entire body of Callon froze into a statue, and then, slowly shattered into pieces, revealing his small body inside countless plates of metal.
Drake slowly walked here, grabbing it, and looking at him. Callon's true body was almost on the bones, pale and almost dying. His arms and legs were gone, half of his face was also gone, and he was even missing a part of his brain.
"I really should just kill you for what you've done…"
Drake looked at Callon with fury for what he had done to Hermes and the rest, but he calmed down, as he quickly covered his body with Divine Light, healing his entire body and even restructuring it, taking away every nanomachine within it and then bringing back his arms, legs, and everything else, even the other half of his brain.
"Unngh… W-What… where… Eh? Ahh…"
Callon looked around confused, and completely nude, of course.
"Get some clothes first…" Drake sighed, taking some clothes out of his inventory as Callon desperately put them on.
He quickly felt the coldness of ice everywhere, the vampires that were helping him were frozen alive, and there was just… a complete stillness. As if time paused since this dragon arrived. All hurdles everyone was facing disappeared, everything seemed so calm now, but Drake knew there was something being hid within this facility, something… dangerously powerful. The true entity that Greenwood was trying to hide, even from the gods.
"Callon?" Alma asked from the distance.
"Alma…? Ugnngh… Agh! My head…!" Callon cried, feeling strange.
"That's what happens to people that was tempered with magic. Your head will recover over time, you had like a thousand nanomachines inside your brain though removing them wasn't easy." Said Drake.
"Nano… machines…?" Callon muttered, suddenly falling unconscious.
"Callon…" Alma sighed, looking at her brother.
"Take him. You care for him, don't you?" Asked Drake.
"I… Who are you? Why are you here? How… did you come here?" Alma wondered.
"Alma, I know how you might feel. This might be confusing for you, I know." Sighed Drake. "I've been watching you guys for a while now. I am an ally, trust me." The imposing Dragon said, as his aura was not intimidating, but welcoming, the freezing power he held was completely overpowered by the welcoming warmth he made Alma feel at his side. "Name's Drake, I am the future Dragon King."
"Dragon… King?" Alma asked.
"Now… Stand still. I cannot bring you all outside with my current capabilities in this body, so we'll move all of you through magic and slimes, come. Quickly! We have to get out of here. Or well, get you guys out of here. That bastard of Greenwood is sure not done with us yet…" Said Drake.
Suddenly, his winds quickly began to guide everyone through a route to escape the facility, as his slimes emerged, carrying everyone that couldn't walk and rushing outside.
However, it seemed too late, as Drake immediately sensed the entity in the underground finally freeing itself from its cage…
"It's coming."
"Eh? What?"
Alma asked Drake, as he looked back at her.
"The only thing I am concerned about in this place, and the major threat I am preparing to face. Greenwood, what sort of monster have you brought to our world?"
The dragon spoke, as the screech of an otherworldly monster echoed across the facility, coming from the underground.
"GRYYYYAAAAAAAEEERRRRRRGGGHHHH…!"
TRUUM!
TRUUM!
TRUUUUM!
The ground began to shake, as the entire facility began to be destroyed by this entity's charge, coming straight from the underground, over a hundred meters below everyone's foot.
TRUUUUUMMMMM…!
The floor shattered into pieces, as Alma and everyone's eyes looked in horror at the monster that emerged.
It had no shape.
But it was made completely out of countless limbs, eyes, faces, jaws, and tentacles…
It was a living mass of endless and twisting flesh.
"BWAHAHAHAHA!"
The laughter of Greenwood echoed from within the last surviving computer in the facility.
"You've forced my hand, Dragon! Now you and this entire city will face their end! Welcome him with open arms…" He laughed. "I name him Gluttony! You can already guess what's his Unique Skill is, right?"
Greenwood's laughter was like rubbing salt all over the wound, it's annoying nature merged completely well with the complete dread everyone was feeling right now.
"GRUOOOHHHHHHHHH!"
It was a horror like they had never seen before.
