Chapter 90: Three Idiots

I was about to answer him to do it, but then, there was an explosion from behind us! It was the airship, now covered with thick smoke! Slowly, the airship is losing its altitude, but the attack ceased to stop! There was this golden streak that has been striking the thrusters of the airship!

Rudolf and our dragons drifted in the air as we go back to the source of the attack. I was never shocked when I saw his face again. It was the man whom I adored due to his chivalry and braveness. Estoff Wratih. He was on top of his dead lover, Elumina, on her Seraph Dragon form. But this Seraph Dragon is alternately black white due to the decaying scales and limbs, which make it look less angelic.

“I think I can work this one out, totally!” Airi said to me telepathically. “This one requires more work since we needed to use an alive beating heart of a dragonoid.”

 I was about to do what was planned inside of my head, but several zombie dragon knights swarmed around us! Just what the heck are that other dragon knights doing!? I was then guilty of blaming them when I saw that each and every one of my allies are so busy fighting their own horde of zombie dragons and soldiers. I guess everything doesn’t come easy.

“Leave this to me!” Rudolf shouted. “Go!”

As I rushed away from the scene, the undead dragons started to chase us! But Rudolf got his thing ready. He inhaled so deep and then released with a devastating shout! A strong shockwave emerged and an invisible shockwave pushed through the horde like a deflating balloon. Everyone who got in the area of effect of the sonic wave got their selves paralyzed. Dragons started crashing on the snowy forests. It was the power of the royal blood after all. The Voice of the Emperor.

With Airi’s incredible speed, we caught up with the Seraph Dragon. We got them in surprise that Airi’s photon pincers locked the Seraph’s wings. Estoff zombie came in rushing to me and made a heavy slash and thrust but I managed to dodge it by docking and stepping backwards. I then activated two Deus Ex Machina arms to aid me push this persistent zombie away by making a gigantic hook and jab. Estoff blocked the mechanical jab with his buster sword, but that force made him flying in the midair, away from his dragon.

I grabbed this opportunity as I jumped forward. I morphed one of my gigantic mechanical arm to a defibrillator which charged a hundred thousand volts and slammed it on the Seraph Dragon’s chest. Since the zombie dragon has been pinned down by Airi, I had a ninety-nine percent accuracy, and I succeeded in delivering a painful electric surge!

For a short moment, Elumina’s heart started to beat once again!

Airi’s dragon forehead glowed, and a gigantic V sign appeared once again. Slowly, wounds of the Seraph Dragon began healing, but not all of her body parts. But it managed to bring back the passionate red eyes of the kind hearted Elumina!

“Estoff!” I shouted as I witness my dead mentor freefalling!

I had my other Deus Ex Machina arm to extend and catch Estoff’s corpse, and had my Eye of Deus glare at his very eyes. His body now glowed in red light, and the black heart once again converted into a stone, cracked, and became a genuine heart. As soon as I managed to reinstall that heart to my mentor, his emerald eyes twinkled as life has once again entered his body!

“Amphere you wanker…” That was his first words to me. But his pale undead face managed to make a smile.

“I will now be opening a portal!” Richard said via our coms.

Then a gigantic portal, about ten meters in length, opened. Estoff and I went through it flawlessly, and my Chimeratech Dragon and Estoff’s Seraph Dragon followed. The next thing we know is that we’re already in the very entrance of the gigantic diabolic cathedral.  It’s still the same from afar, only that the demon dragon statues from near looks more sinister than before.

Another portal opened and Rudolf and his Chaos Dragon made their appearance.  “Richard said that you will need some help once again.” Rudolf said.

“This world seems to be more hellish than the one I left!” Estoff laughed.

“You guys should be thankful of me. I brought you back to life, even for a brief period.” I made a smile.

We three knights fixed our gaze to the one on top of the stairs before the gigantic doors of the cathedral. There, a man with messy black hair and rainbow-colored eyes fought us with the very same stare. He was standing in a glowing red demonic circle, which was maybe used to channel his energy and control all those corpses. It was Nox.

It looks like we three just interrupted his “prayers”, so he unsheathed his broadsword on his back.

“So you three idiots will fight me in my domain.” Nox had his menacing laugh. “Fine! Come with all you got!”
