The great Dragon Chapter 121: Locked away in the Mercury cell
Serpens waited all day for Xin to arrive from work until night fell upon him. He knew it was unlike Xin to want to work overtime time at work and not inform him. He decided to put a call through to her and find out from her if she was still coming home that night or would stay till the following morning.Everything they needed to leave was already in place and all that was left was the SFX-chip which was the reason Xin had gone for work that morning."Hello," the voice at the other end replied. It wasn't Xin's voice, and that got Serpens really worried."Can I speak with Xin please?" Serpens requested politely, until the voice at the other end became more recognisable to him. It was the voice of his nemesis, Winter."Nice to hear from you again, Serpens." Winter laughed."Winter!" Serpens exclaimed, as the realization dawned upon him that Xin was in trouble."What happened to Xin? What did you do to her?" Serpens asked all in one breath."Hahahaha" Winter continued to laugh. "You mean
The great Dragon Chapter 122: Xin must not die!
Serpens, having nowhere else to go, now that he was being sought after, decided to put a call through to Tiara as she was the only person whom he could trust in the future aside Xin and Jeremy.He had first of all contemplated calling Rose, but realizing that he was now Jack Brynner's daughter, made him discard the thought. From his dinner meeting with her, the last time, he could tell that the Rose he knew from his timeline who was still probably in the hospital battling for her life was different from that Rose he had met in the future.Not only had she become more sophisticated, it was like she had lost touch with her gentleness, the most outstanding quality he had loved about her.Things in the future were really looking different from the way they were in the past. From where he had come from, Tiara wouldn't have been an option to call upon, considering how she had broken his heart and had betrayed her trust. But at that very moment, Tiara was his only bacon of hope.Dialing her
The great Dragon Chapter 123: A call for help
As Tiara continued her explanation of the entire situation to Serpens, it became clear to him the dangers they had now found themselves in. The reason for all of their time travel was to find the seaweed that would enable them to breathe underwater and all of that was what had brought them to the future. But now it appears as if all hope is lost."So what do we do now?" Serpens asked, his confusion evident in his voice. "How do we save Xin?""I don't know Serpens but if I'm not wrong, there's one place Jack would likely lock her up in?" Tiara replied."And where could that be?" Serpens' brow furrowed."It's the mercury cell," Tiara replied."What's a mercury cell?" Serpens asked, his curiosity piqued."It's the most deadly cell ever made by man. The cell environment is made of advanced technology inbuilt in such a way that it slowly sucks life out of the prisoner, giving him or her just twenty four just to live. If twenty four hours elapses and the prisoner is not granted freedom, it'
The great Dragon Chapter 124: Heated argument
Flynn had been working tirelessly in activating the SFX-chip in the fijsl launch of the dragonic creatures. It was the night of the launch and he and his team members were almost set in making everything go as planned.He was full busy with the activation process when his phone buzzed with an incoming call from Jack. Wiping his sweety face with a handkerchief, he swiped the phone with his other hand to answer the call."Hello, sir," he answered."Hello, Flynn what's the recent developments?" Jack inquired, calling to know how things were going. He was in the top most floor of his house where he could have a full view of thw city.He just couldn't wait for the dragonic creatures to be launched so he could see the city that had taken away everything from him, crumble before him. It was everything he could have ever wanted. To see the government of Draketown come begging him stop the dragonic creatures from laying waste to the entire city."Almost there, sir," Flynn replied, his focus un
The great Dragon Chapter 125: Help is on its way, Xin
Xin could almost hear heartbeat stop as the walls of the mercury cell kept draining life from her. Hot tears kept flowing down her cheeks as she saw her end just right in front of her, shivering as though she was placed in ice.She tried holding on to the little string of life that was still left in her when she lost the will to live and slowly, her eyes shut, her heartbeat fading away until she finally succumbed to her greatest fear.*****Good to see you again, Xin,” Old man Xue's voice woke her up. “Grandpa!” Xin exclaimed, her surprise palpable.Something told her she was dreaming, yet it felt so real. It would be her first time seeing her grandfather ever since the day she left on her mission with Serpens, and now seeing him standing in front of her, she couldn't help but miss him.“You don't have to be afraid, Xin,” Old man Xue said, his voice calm yet firm.“Where am I?” Xin asked, as everything around her appeared to be outworldly, like he was some other planet or something.

Xin swallowed hard as Old man Xue's words hit her hard like a ton of bricks. But she didn't know if she could really hold on a little longer just as her grandfather had said.The walls of the mercury cell were life sapping, like she had been electrocuted or something. "But grandfather, what if I'm unable to hold on? What if I succumb?" Xin asked, her voice filled with the uncertainty of the situation at hand."You can do it, Xin. I know you can. Remember who you are. You're the stone bearer - the one who is much needed in putting the world in balance."“I really hope so, grandfather. I really hope I'm able to hold on a little longer. But Just in case I fail, I hope I'll be able to stay with you here?" Xin pressed further, her nolstiaga very much palpable.Old man Xue walked closer, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulders. "If you succumb to death now, then this beautiful garden you see now will cease to exist. It'll be nothing but a dark forbidden forest. You must fight death, Xin
The great Dragon Chapter 127: Trapped in the elevator ll
Thirty minutes earlier....Jack was deep in thought, pondering on everything that Rose had said. He couldn't believe that his daughter would have the affront to stand up against him.For twenty years jr had been working on perfecting that SFX-chip so as to carry out the launch of his dragonic creatures effortlessly, and he wasn't just going to stand back and watch Rose destroy all that. He had gone too far to want to quit now.Knowing fully well that Rose would do as she had said, he picked up his phone and dialed Flynn's number."Are you ready?" He immediately asked Flynn to answer the call."Almost ready sir," Flynn replied."I want you to help me keep an eye on Rose." Jack went straight to the reason why he had called."By why sir? Did something happen?" Flynn went ahead to inquire, his curiosity piqued."I wish I could explain, but I can't. However, I want you to do something for me.""And what's that sir?" He asked, trying to understand what it was that Jack wanted him to do.Fro
The great Dragon Chapter 128: Between life and death
Serpens phone buzzed in his pocket and glancing at the caller, it was Rose. He exchanged glances with Tiara who nodded for him to go ahead and answer the call, hoping to hear some good news from Rose."Hello, Rose," Serpens began. "Serpens, we have a problem," Rose revealed, just before Serpens could ask how the situation of things were going with her.Serpens brow furrowed, "What problem are you talking about Rose?" He asked, turning to look at Tiara who looked surprised at Serpens' question."I'm currently trapped in an elevator and my dad is behind it. I've not been able to get to Xin and I don't know how much time she has left. I'm currently running out of air here and I'm not sure if I'll be able to hold much longer too." Rose replied, her breath heavy, indicating how distressed she was inside the elevator."Hold on, Rose," Serpens urged her. "We're coming to help you." He added, before dropping the call."What's the matter?" Tiara asked, seeing the panic look on Serpens' face.

Chapter 184: An happy ending, a fresh start
The priest stood solemnly at the edge of the grave, his weathered hands clasped around a simple wooden cross. His voice, steady and calm, reverberated through the air as he spoke the final prayers, his eyes reflecting the sorrow of the moment. The soft rustle of leaves was the only sound as Rose was laid to rest, the earth slowly covering her.Serpens stood nearby, tears silently welling up in his eyes, his heart heavy with grief. As the ceremony ended, people began to approach him one by one. Xin placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, his face solemn. Lan, always reserved, offered a quiet nod of respect. Serena’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she whispered her condolences. Dr. Sun, with a grave expression, grasped Serpens' hand in solidarity, while Inspector Lui, ever the stoic, simply said, "I'm sorry." Finally, Tiara approached, her eyes filled with understanding and empathy, and she gave him a brief, supportive hug.After everything was said and done, as the crowd disper

Chapter 183: Tragedy in the end
In an instant, Rose disappeared into the portal, her figure merging with the energy of the Dragon Stone. There was a flash of blinding light, and the portal sealed shut, its power absorbed into Rose’s being. The energy of the Dragon Stone flowed through her, and the stone itself crumbled to dust, its dark power dissipating into the air.Serpens and Xin watched in awe, their hearts heavy with the sacrifice that had just been made. Rose had given herself to save the world, her courage and selflessness breaking the cycle of darkness that had threatened to engulf them all.For a moment, all was quiet, and then, from the stillness, a gentle breeze began to blow, carrying with it the promise of a new dawn."No!" Serpens cried as he rushed towards her. Rose fell on his arms, her form as cold as ice. "Don't leave me, Rose," Serpens cried. "Please come back," The strange lady spoke, "This was bound to happen, greet dragon. She's your fourth sage, the one who would help you win the war agains

Chapter 182: The final show down ll
Serpens struggled to his feet, his heart pounding with fear and frustration. Winter was too strong, even with the combined might of the dragon lords. They couldn’t overpower him—not like this. But what frightened him more was the sight of Xin, now standing on the rock, her hand trembling as she raised the dragon stone toward the point where the sunlight met the sea."No!" Serpens cried out, his voice breaking with the weight of his despair. But his words fell on deaf ears. Xin, lost in Winter’s spell, placed the stone on the rock. The moment the stone touched the surface, the sunlight intensified, its beams converging on the stone and then spreading outwards, enveloping Bahamut in a blinding light.The light was quickly swallowed by a sudden darkness, a pitch-black void that seemed to emanate from Bahamut himself. The last chain around the dragon’s neck glowed fiercely for a brief moment before shattering into a thousand pieces. The sound of the chain breaking echoed like thunder acro

Chapter 181: The final show down l
The Third World Sea stretched endlessly before Serpens, a vast expanse of shimmering waters that reflected the dark, starless sky above. The air was thick with a mystical energy, a sensation both familiar and foreign, tugging at the edges of his consciousness. As he stood on the shore, the quiet lapping of waves against the rocks was the only sound, but Serpens could feel the presence of something ancient and powerful nearby.From the depths of the sea, a massive form began to rise, the water cascading off its scales like liquid silver. Doromu emerged with a grace that belied his immense size. His golden eyes, warm and wise, fixed upon Serpens with a gaze that seemed to peer into the very depths of his soul. The dragon’s scales shimmered with a soft, radiant light, contrasting the dark waters around him."Welcome, Serpens," Doromu said, his voice deep and resonant, echoing across the stillness of the sea. He lowered his head in a deep, respectful bow. "Great Dragon, it is an honour to

Chapter 180: Leading through the portal!
The uproar in Draketwon that night increased people ran to find safety from the threats of the dragons which descended upon the city like a flock of birds.It wasn't long after that the armed forces of Draketwon set into action. Helicopters, their blades slicing through the night air, emerged from the darkness. It was a show down of the humans versus the dragons, as fire bathed the entire city like a flood.The roar of the engines filled the cockpit as Captain Marcus Rourke, the seasoned leader of the air force squadron, adjusted his headset. His eyes were steely, focused on the horizon where plumes of smoke rose from the city below. The once-vibrant metropolis was now a war zone, engulfed in chaos as dragons soared through the sky, their fiery breath raining destruction upon the streets.“Echo Squadron, this is Captain Rourke,” he spoke into the radio, his voice calm but laced with urgency. “We’ve got eyes on the target. Multiple dragons are engaged, laying waste to the city. They’re

Chapter 179: Dragons emerging
Tiara sat at her usual spot in the school courtyard, the sun dipping lower in the sky as the hours ticked by. The news of the Zorvath's going through Serpens' locker in school, had become the news of the day, but that wasn't her problem.Her concern was in the fact that Serpens whom he had called to tell what had happened didn't show up in school. She couldn't help but wonder why he didn't show up after he told her he was already on his way when she called him earlier that day.After the first set of classes of the day, she decided to go to the courtyard and hoped that before the afternoon classes would commence, Serpens would show up.Her gaze flicked anxiously toward the school gates every few minutes, hoping to see Serpens' familiar figure stride through. But as the shadows lengthened and the students trickled out in groups, laughing and chatting, there was no sign of him.By now, the courtyard was almost empty, save for a few stragglers. Tiara’s worry had shifted to a gnawing unea

Chapter 178: I'm done running!
As Serpens pondered Zorvath's enigmatic riddle, a figure emerged from the trees surrounding the lake. It was a young woman with piercing green eyes and long, curly brown hair. She approached Serpens with a confident stride, her gaze fixed on him."Ah, Serpens," she said, her voice husky and mysterious. "I've been searching for you. My name is Lyra, and I possess knowledge about your past and your connection to Xin."Serpens's eyes narrowed, unsure if he should trust this stranger. But something about Lyra's words resonated deep within him."What do you know?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.Lyra smiled, her eyes glinting with secrets. "Let's just say that I can help you unlock the truth about your draconic powers and the reason behind Winter's pursuit."Zorvath, who had been watching the exchange, suddenly spoke up. "Lyra, you shouldn't be here. This is a matter between Serpens and me."Lyra turned to Zorvath, her expression unfazed. "I'm afraid I have a stake in this too, Zorvath. Se

Chapter 177: Zorvath's re-emergence
The morning routine was almost automatic. Serpens crossed the room to his wardrobe, where his clothes hung neatly on the door. As he buttoned his shirt, his mind kept drifting back to the urgency of his quest, the need to find Xin and the draconic gem.After pulling on his trousers and fastening his belt, Serpens moved to the bathroom. He splashed cold water on his face, the chill waking him up fully. He stared at his reflection in the mirror—his dark hair tousled from sleep, his eyes sharp and alert despite the fatigue that lingered at their edges. With deliberate care, he combed his hair, making sure every strand was in place, trying to impose order on at least this small part of his life.He grabbed his school bag, checking to make sure he had everything he needed: books, notebooks, the pendant that Professor Layton had given him back then, was still there—a small token that served as a reminder of his mission.Before leaving his room, Serpens took a moment to gaze out of the wind

Chapter 176: Probably the last chance!
The night was a gentle embrace, soft and inviting, perfect for slipping into the realm of dreams. The sky was clear, a deep velvet canvas dotted with a thousand twinkling stars that seemed to pulse with a quiet, rhythmic light. The moon, full and luminous, bathed the world in a silvery glow, casting long, soft shadows that danced lightly across the ground. A cool breeze whispered through the trees, rustling the leaves in a soothing lullaby that filled the air with a sense of calm and serenity.The world seemed to have slowed its pace, the hustle of the day giving way to a peaceful stillness. The sounds of the night were gentle and comforting—the distant chirp of crickets, the occasional hoot of an owl, and the soft rustle of nocturnal creatures moving about their nightly routines. Even the air itself felt different, cooler and lighter, as if it carried the essence of dreams within it, urging all who breathed it in to close their eyes and drift away.The scent of blooming jasmine and n
