TEASER CHAPTER 8 PART 12
Through
a blurry, foggy vision, Nozomu saw the scene.
Huge
hailstones poured down from the sky, engulfing and destroying small towns on
the ground.
The
hail pierced roofs, shattered walls, collapsed houses, and pummeled people who
screamed and ran for cover.
It
was a very common scene in this land. But for an ordinary human without power,
it was a deadly disaster.
A
being appeared and desperately tried to protect the town in such a crisis.
A
body clad in jet-black scales. The Black Dragon Tiamat, one of the species that
stood above those with flesh bodies, possessed immense power in their bodies.
She
began to protect the helpless people from the army of hail that was pouring
down, covering the city with the power of darkness she had carried in her body.
Seeing
their Lord coming to their aid, the people shouted in relief, joy, and praise.
However,
for some reason, the black dragon's expression was not good. For she alone
could prevent the hailstorm, but she could not stop it.
She
is a black dragon. She cannot directly control water or wind spirits. She had
no choice but to endure until the hail calmed down.
A
lonely battle.
She
was avoided even by her own people. No dragon was willing to get involved in
the buffer zone, and none of them agreed with her intention to help the humans.
To
make matters worse, the source element of water covering the sky began to
increase in concentration.
The
falling hailstones gradually increased in size, and the barrier of darkness
began to be impacted with even greater intensity.
Tiamat's
power is not infinite. If the water element covering the sky exceeded her
power, the humans below would definitely lose their lives to the blade of
nature.
Tiamat
began to pour more power into the barrier.
It
was an endless battle with no end in sight.
The
hailstorms that pummeled her barrier were like young leaves being eaten by
insects, eroding her mind and stirring up the sense of helplessness and
complexes that nestled in her heart.
(Even
so, I am ...!)
Even
though she felt helpless, even though her heart was about to break, she did not
want to give up.
Below
her, many humans were looking up at her in prayer.
The
first beings she wanted to protect. Those who, because of their vulnerability,
could understand the feelings of others and their pain.
She
looked up to the sky with a burning sense of responsibility and duty in her
heart, and above all, a strong feeling of affection.
(O
spirit of water! Thaw the frozen bodies of my friends and turn them into drops
of life.)
At
that moment, a dignified and pure voice echoed through the air.
In
the blink of an eye, the clouds that had covered the sky cleared and the sun
revealed itself.
Then,
bathed in the light of the incoming sun, a single blue dragon appeared.
"Oru!
You came!"
"Yes,
I heard from Mikael. It looks like you're helping out with some serious
matter."
Tiamat
shouted with joy at the sight of her friend who had rushed to the scene. She no
longer felt the sense of helplessness that had been eroding her heart.
