"...who are you?"


    Hana asked the young man that had appeared before her out of thin air, She backed away and tried to utilize her mana, but failed miserably.


    The young man, n instead didn''t reply to her but focused his attention on the Ind of death in front of her Ind.


    And it was then that he asked a question.


    "Miss, what are you doing here?"


    "Huh?"


    Hana, who was momentarily perplexed, backed off again and asked n the same question.


    "I asked you who you are!"


    n, finally looked at her figure and analyzed the mana within her body as he spoke.


    "A weak and old body, mana abundant with the elemental energy of life...yet now so weak?"


    He seemed to be questioning himself as he talked to her, his blue diamond eyes piercing through her.


    "What rtion do you have with the.


    Being on that Ind?"


    He finally asked a question that Hana could answer, but before she could even speak he spoke again.


    "What kind of rtionship do you have with the being there that you are willing to sacrifice your own life to stop the spread?"


    "A family member perhaps...or are you just an old hunter that wants ast moment of fame before her death?"


    And his words turned cold at the end of his sentence.


    And Hana just had a feeling that if she was a hunter who hade to kill the being.


    She would have died instead...by his hands.


    ****


    Quite frankly, I don''t know why I''m angry.


    But the moment I thought of her being here, stopping the spread of death around so she could kill the dragon on the ind.


    It enraged me for some reason.


    That a lowly insect-like being tried to go against a dragon.


    ....


    ....


    ....


    What am...am I thinking?


    Holy shit, did I just think of that?


    Why the hell?


    "The dragon ising here."


    And then, Aranuss''s voice brought me out of my thoughts as he spoke again.


    "So...her heart is within him."


    "Her?"


    I questioned him.


    "The heart of the deceased supreme dragon of Death Shi lies within that dragon."


    Another Supreme dragon?


    no...that name is not in the memories I have.


    Is it because the dragon died way before the events involving this body


    happened?


    "you should go and stop it, along with Shi''s heart, it also has the curse of Ariel, If you can break the weaker chains that bind it, you can probably reason with it."


    I was confused by the words.


    Curse?


    What kind of curse?


    What chains?


    But before I could open my mouth to say something.


    I felt a massive wave of mana suddenly surge forth from the ind.


    The wave of mana made the nt on this little ind wilt and the sea turned to an even darker ck shade.


    The old woman in front of me was pushed back by the sudden wave of mana.


    I, on the other hand, immediately equipped my armor and spear, and just as I was about to rush in towards the source, Aranus stopped me.


    "I don''t rmend you use weapons against that, they will decay before you even have a chance to use them."


    "...you mean I have to fight with my fists?"


    "Yep, your bloodline of the Phoenix will help you, and if you get in a bind, then just use partial Dragon Transformation like it is doing so."


    ...


    ...


    ...


    Well, so ording to him, Melee and skills are the way to go.


    Oh well then.


    I''m excited about the fight that is about to begin.


    I roused my spatial mana and prepared to teleport to the deste ind.


    And just before I did, I heard her voice.


    "Please! Don''t kill him!"


    A voice filled with worry, and sorrow, which dispelled my thoughts of her being a hunter.


    So before I teleported, I reassured her that I wouldn''t.


    I wouldn''t kill the dragon...unless I have to.


    "I won''t."


    I honestly don''t know if I''m being honest.


    If I can take it down.


    But hey, if Aranus was okay with me being here, then I guess I can take it.


    And I teleported to the Ind.


    To sh with a fellow dragon.


    ****


    Hana gasped as she saw the Man disappear in front of her.


    His body vanished into thin air, and just like when he first appeared,


    He disappeared. And moments after he did, The world Shook!


    *RUMBLEEEEE!*


    The earth vibrated, the tides rose, and the sky above the ind of ck began to darken.


    Lightning shed around the skies, and shes of blue could be seen shining at irregr intervals.


    The waves around her rose higher and higher, Rain began to fall, and the earth rumbled even more.


    Hana was shocked as she took in the environment changing so fast it was almost unbelievable.


    The waves of mana that shed with one another made their way to her ind, the gusts of winds pushing her hair and clothes back, along with her figure.


    And to support her body, a thick wooden tree trunk appeared behind her from beneath the ground and she rested her body on it, trying to find even more stability.


    ''...just what is happening there?!''


    Hana thought as she tried her best to hold on to the tree trunk.


    She was currently oblivious to the fact that two young dragons were duking it out on the ind.


    And if she knew she would be d that they were young dragons.


    If it were mature one fighting, Earth would have been doomed.


    The shes of white and ck lit up the ind in front of her, as they traveled long distances, shing with one another.


    In the Air!


    In the Ground!


    Multiple Times!


    The shes of ck and white mana continued....until something happened that shook her to her core.


    Something blizzard and unbelievable for her.


    Two shes, One White And One ck, each covering half of the ind whole shed with one another.


    They consumed the ind of death, and all Hana saw the colors of white and ck epassing one-half of the ind.


    Fighting for more.
