[Book 2] Gate Guardian - Song of the Frozen Soul

PHASE 91 - STOP NUKING ME, DAD!

PHASE 91 - STOP NUKING ME, DAD!

The ominous heat waves blew towards our faces. In front of us is my very father, who has transformed into a seventeen-meter dragon-type Eidolon.

Everybody drew their Weapon Gems, ready for battle. The four goddesses even had their chest glowing, which indicates that they will transform into a divine entity anytime. Helena and Heushac are ready to unleash their extraordinary powers too. And Rikkun is ready to draw the <Heart of Light> from my chest.

But…

I have to talk them out. I don’t want them to fight my father.

“Everyone…” I bowed. “Please let me take care of my father. I want to do it all by myself, to test my bond between us. So I request all of you… Please lower your weapons. It is only I who must fight him.”

Everybody was silent. They looked at each other and nodded, silently affirming that they will let me do what I want. They reverted their weapons back to their gem form, and they didn’t activate their God/Goddess Cores.

They let Heushac battle Helena in a one-on-one battle last time, so there’s no way they’ll never let me have this opportunity to fight my father alone.

“Tiara.” Rikkun patted my head. “Good luck on saving your father.”

I made a jolly smile at my lover as I pumped my fists. “Yes! With determination, I refuse to give up!”

I shifted gaze to my gigantic monster father. His crimson scales look burning, and his large eye is giving off evil wrath. But I won’t faze! I slowly walked in front and transformed into my <Demigoddess Mode>. I also materialized my gauntlets as I gave off a composed battle stance.

“Let’s do this!” I made a warcry.

“-----__-------______----------!!!”

The one-eyed crimson dragon returned the same shout.

“Haaaaah!!!!” Materializing my ten wings, I blasted off forward with a speed of light! I made a superman punch aimed at the monster’s chest!

Bam! A strong shockwave echoed. I failed to hit the chest for the reason that he blocked my knuckles with his gigantic dragon arm! I followed up with one, two, three blows in an attempt to destroy the defenses, but its crimson scaly armor is harder than steel!

Wham! A counterattack was made by the dragon by sweeping his other hand straight to me. I crashed on the floor, leaving a huge crater on the ground. Thick smoke engulfed the area.

“Tiara!” Rikkun shouted.

I revealed myself when the smoke faded. I’m still fine, and I only sustained minor scratches on my left shoulder. My heavenly dress projects an invisible prana shield that filters fatal attacks, so I’m still in top condition.

“WHAAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!” The dragon roared as it opened its mouth and unleashed a nuclear blaster of flames!

“<Tarrasque Guard X10>!!!” Layers of energy shields protected me. The solar flare blaster that the dragon unleashed managed to shatter eight of my barriers!

But the dragon’s attack didn’t stop there! It used its hundreds of tentacles to thrust and pierce me, but I tumbled and somersaulted to evade those spear-like stab attacks!

“<Igneel Boost X10>!!!” My feet and elbows spawned flames to boost my movement speed. I closed the distance to the dragon, completely avoiding all his tentacle sweeps and thrusts.
