Chapter 1022 A Miracle
-----
Alma cried for help internally, fully knowing n.o.body could hear her, and n.o.body would come to her rescue. She didn"t wanted to be rescued though, but at the very least, she wanted to save those with her. Perhaps she thought she deserved what was coming for her, but not the others, not Hermes… not the twins either.
"It"s over." The metallic hand of her big brother reached Alma.
Crack… crack…!
However, a sudden cold gust of wind reached Alma"s face, it was almost refreshing.
"Huh?!"
The shocked voice of Callon echoed across her senses, which were slowly fading away, as Alma noticed her brother"s body, half of it, completely frozen in solid ice.
"Ask for a miracle and you shall receive it. That"s why I am a G.o.d after all. I"ve seen enough, Alma."
A small green slime appeared above Alma"s head, surprising her.
"W-Where did… a slime?" She asked to herself, as a wave of divine light emerged from the slime, covering not only her but all the surroundings.
"Magic Transfer: [Divine Restorative Ice Winds]!"
FLASH!
The slime suddenly conjured an incredible complex magic circle in mere seconds, spreading a white aura of light that healed Alma"s injuries, but even all of those around her. Hermes suddenly opened his eyes in shock, gasping for air, the twins suddenly stood up as if nothing, looking around confused, and Callon"s body was slowly turning into an ice statue.
"W-What? What is… Eh? Eeeeeh?!"
Alma felt so shocked she thought for a moment she had died and was just in the afterlife or something… However, that couldn"t be so far from the truth, she was alive, and everything happening right now was also true.
Drake has been watching everything from the sidelines, thinking about what to do. Of course, he wanted to help them the moment they were hurt or facing difficulties, but that wasn"t really his style. He wanted to see them fight, to see them struggle, he wanted to see what kind of people they truly were before giving them a hand.
He wanted them to prove their bravery to him, to show him what they were made of before giving them a hand. Although he detested Greenwood, this was something he had to do, he endured the impulse of acting, but at the end, he was able to intervene. Infusing his powers into this small Divine Slime, made from his own flesh and blood, a wave of healing divine light healed everyone.
Not only that, but Hermes seemingly came back to life, it was easy now for Drake to simply catch his soul and put it back into his body, especially because his soul had stayed with Alma, hugging her, and trying to protect her.
"I am sorry for taking so long, Alma."
The voice of a Dragon G.o.d echoed across the entire facility, as the entire place began to tremble, countless small creatures shook the entire ground and floor as they oved by jumping around.
BAAM!
BAAM!
BAAAAAMMM!
The closed metallic doors suddenly were slammed, as dozens of small green, blue, and red slimes rushed inside of the room!
"Slimes?!" Greenwood was left shocked, completely flabbergasted by what he was seeing!
The Slimes, however, converged together, 90% of them merged into a single Doppelganger of a glorious dragon, taking his cla.s.sic dragon appearance, silver scales, glowing golden eyes, long ice-made horns, a furious glare, sharp claws, a long tail with the tip of a spear, and within both of his hands, two enormous weapons, a sword and a spear!
"A dragon?!" Alma asked.
"Ungh… W-What is happening?" Hermes asked, looking around. "I am… alive?"
"Hermes!" Alma jumped over Hermes, hugging him tightly.
"Alma… is this the afterlife?" Asked Hermes.
"No… Somehow… we were saved. Someone is here, intervening, somehow!" Alma said. "Those slimes and that dragon… They"re one and the same. I saw them merge together into that dragon…"
"A dragon…?" Hermes wondered, looking at this very dragon.
"Y-Youuuuu!"
The angered voice of Greenwood resonated across the entire facility, as he quickly ordered his vampires and all technology available to target the dragon and decimate him!
"Whatever tricks you"re using, they won"t work! You"re foolish to think you can step right inside of my dent and walk outside unscathed!" Greenwood said.
"Is that so? Then why don"t you come to fight me personally, Greenwood? You"re hiding in another continent altogether, aren"t you? Why don"t you come to fight me here, right here? Are you afraid?!" The Dragon asked, his name was obviously Drake, the Dragon King himself who had been partic.i.p.ating in the cooking contest of Heaven Port just now.
"Tsk! As if I would ever were to fall into such a stupid and old trick! I have more than enough here to completely destroy you! Eliminate him!" Roared Greenwood. "Magic Jamming! Inhibit his Unique Skills!"
TRUUUUMMMM…!
Drake quickly stood still, protecting everyone behind him as he saw a wave of invisible energies reaching his soul, trying to lock the power of his Unique Skills.
"I see, so it directly targets the very soul! How interesting." He said with a smile. "However, that won"t work, my dearest foe. You know what else would work? This."
Drake carefreely swung his sword horizontally, as a bright white and blue light emerged from within his powerful Divine Sword, shaking the entire facility and… slicing it completely in half!
SLAAAAAa.s.sSSSSHHHH!!!
TRUUUUUMMMMM…!
"What the…?!"
Greenwood couldn"t help but scream in shock, suddenly falling off his chair as his projection was quickly destroyed from the facility. Most if not all technology there was completely decimated as the Divine Aura Slash Drake unleashed completely sliced in half everything there was except those he protected.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Countless explosions began to spread everywhere, almost in a chain reaction right after Drake"s attack, setting everything on fire, only for ice to take over the chaos, turning everything into a still world.
"Amazing, Uller, you"ve really improved after your last upgrade." Drake said with a smile.
With a single swing of his sword, he turned everything into chaos, only for the chaos to become a still world of silence and stillness, a world of cold and ice…
