"Garbage, in front of power every being, sentient or not bows. You're no different"
The humanoid dragon clenched his fist to further evince his stand.
The eyes of men were bloodied with red.
Warrior or slave, all had the same action of bravery.
"Let me show you what power I have to dominate everything.
DESOLATE!"
He let out a simple strike with his palm which suddenly everything changed.
It was as if the air, and everything else, stagnated for a split second... Before crushing pressure pressed down on everyone.
It was as if gravity increased exponentially tens of times.
‘Humans are fragile in the end’
Starting from the weaker ones, the commoners without talent for mystic, the increased gravity crushed their limbs and blood vessels, they fell dead soon after. Some weaker ones directly exploded to mush.
Even the ones who practiced some form of Mystic were not left out. From bleeding orifices to blasted eardrums... In the end, a niggling few of about a hundred survived, of the entire Palace knights worth 6 battalions!
.
As with his gaze, the dragon couldn't care less how many survived, nor would he feel empathy for the helpless and dead.
Gipsy for forced to make a decision.
'Clover, go to the median treasury, I think only the Sword of Grim can turn things around. There might just be a way to kill it.'
‘Mum, would you be alright?’
'Don't underestimate me. Did you forget your mother is the strongest person alive? I've never used 100% of my powers before.’
'... Be save'
Gypsy watched her daughter, maybe she won't see that smile ever again. Even though it was a sad smile filled with grief, Gispy embraced it.. as if trying to commit her face deep into memory.
‘Wake up! you're not going to die this young, still have that vacation you planned early don't you?’
Amidst the chaotic helter skelter, her fallen crying comrades, the bloodied scene that kept repeating itself, the bastard dragon guffawing like a chap— the world seemed to pause for Gipsy.
She understood the secret of Matriarchy for over a millennium was propped on Passing Power over to the successor. Both literally and figuratively.
It was all for this day, they said. Once upon a time, the Human Realm was bathed in desolation, in Chaos. Billion lives were lost.
‘The chaos would come again!’ They had professed. Finally it has dawned on them,
‘Why couldn't I just live my boring life in peace’
Why did it have to in her lifetime?
So, for the sake of about every life in this world, Gipsy walked forward.
" There's no need for this senseless massacres. You should have understood that there's only a few worth of Rankers that might be a threat to you.
Without them, E-arth would be forever in your hands.
Send everything you have, and we'll block it. Let's fight like real warriors."
"Isn't your Race prided for its battle Prowess, It is said that a dragon can never back down from a duel, something about their... Pride? Why do you hesitate now"
Everything's going according to plan now Gypsy thought. She had noticed one detail when the Azure Dragon punched out and came to a bold conjunction.
The Dragon Army won't Strike!!!
Whether they came to put in more tension on humans, or they had a code of conduct... as if!
While they had remained withdrawn around the portal. People might even believe they were decorations. This was a rather outrageous guess, true— but Gipsy was ready to bet her life, that only the Azure dragon was her enemy. If she could defeat him, then everything would be okay... Just if.
" I refuse.”
“What?” She was stupefied. Why? how? who?... nope, she already knew the answer of who..
The shitty dragon continued as if he didn't see the scorn everyone had for him,
“What Bravery? it's just a drip of s**t! If this young Master wants to fight I'll do so without holding back. If I don't want, even the gods could go to space for all I care. Things like Vows, and Oaths... they don't mean s**t to mean"
Gypsy felt her heart sink to the ground.
's**t! all I did was irritate him, if he takes on these people with anger, am afraid...'
Looking at the battle-hungry Youths and angered Seasoned warriors she felt a huge burden on her shoulders. She made them so!
The things she said righteously before did ignite the battle spirit in them, she was now like an arrow shot off from the bow... She couldn't placate them at all, only burning flames were in their eyes, and if they follow through to fight with the angered Dragon now, only death would pursue.
"Supreme Master, the words passed down from our ancestors aren't groundless. This is the foundation that built up countless warriors and Dragon saints. For you to so openly go against it though, You must first think about yours and the Dragon race prestige."
‘My saving Grace!!’
A Fiery Red dragon with long spikes decorating its back in a straight line, this should be a protrusion of its Vertebrae. This gave it a unique fierce but ancient Aura that made anyone want to worship it.
"KKKLAUS!! Why you!?...” The humanoid dragon was incensed, albeit helpless,
“Fine, I'll do it myself. You know even a tiger would still use all its strength to catch a rabbit."
His feet dropped towards the ground after it stared fiercely at the Red Spiked Dragon.
Without speaking another word, he struck out with full force, causing the ground below him to c***k and sink in.
'He's heartless enough to attack me before I'm prepared. And he's overpowered to boot.”
Gypsy didn't get flustered but continued with a serene face and met his palm with a kick.
She stumbled backward after that confrontation, and only got her foot back after several steps. As for the Azure Dragon, it still couldn't remain in place and had to move two steps behind before negating the force. His eyes took a shrewd light as he looked even more confused than before, he opened and closed his fist in suspicion for some time.
“Mother, Catch!”
‘There'a hope!’
She stretched out her right hand with her eyes still locked unto the Dragon after her daughter spoke out.
Gripping the hilt of the sword, Her pores shut open as Mana flowed through to her body. Calm returned and a fierce look appeared in her eyes.
"This is the Human Girl that would kill you." She yelled, swiping the Sword out in front of her.
“Joanne, Swan... Let's kill this bastard!”
