The great Dragon Chapter 133: A danger to get back!
Jack stood in solemn silence as the realisation dawned upon him that his plans had failed and that the dragonic project didn't go as he had planned. He couldn't believe that Flynn could betray him like that after trusting him so much.He had invested hundreds of millions of dollars into the project and nothing had come out of it. Flynn had not only terminated the process, he had also destroyed the SFX- chip, which was the reason he sent those men to kill him.He had been working on that SFX-chip for over twenty years trying to perfect it to suit his plans and just when he was about to celebrate being phenomenal, Flynn had to beyray him, leading to a total failure of his ground breaking project.He was still in deep thoughts when one of his walked in. "What's the latest development with Tiara and the gentleman that was with her on the car when the accident happened?" Jack inquired, his tone firm and serious."They're currently in the ICU sir. They had miraculously survived the acciden
The great Dragon Chapter 134: What could have been!
Serpens immediately left the accident and hurried all the way to Jeremy's place. The way the call had ended, had raised suspicion within him and he couldn't help but feel that something bad had happened to Jeremy.He hailed the first cab that stopped in front of him, concealing his identity so that no one wouldn't identify him as the same Serpens Ryu who had been involved in an accident.On getting to Jeremy's place, he noticed that the place was eerily quiet. He stepped in to find the whole place in disarray, confirming his suspension that indeed, something had happened there.Going from one room to the other, he realized that there was actually no one in the house, not even Jeremy's grandmother.He was still trying to make sense of everything that had happened, when his eyes fell upon a note that was on the table, a bloody dagger attached to it.Serpens could almost feel his heart rip apart as he saw the note and the bloody dagger making him wonder what could happen and at the same
The great Dragon Chapter 135: Sirens wailing,Help coming!
Serpens called Jeremy's number and listened to it as it rang. It felt like the world was falling apart and there was nothing he could do.He listened as the call connected and it was Winter who answered the phone."You got his message didn't you?" Winter began, his voice cold and dangerous. "Hope you're on way already?""Winter don't hurt the boy and his grandmother. Please, I beg you. They had not done anything wrong to you. It's you and I who have a problem, so don't drag others into it." Serpens pleaded."That's exactly why you have to be here soon if not, it'll be the end for the little boy and his grandmother," Winter threatened before the call came to an end."What did he say?" Lan asked as she could see the fright in Serpens' eyes. "Jeremy and his grandmother are in trouble and only heaven knows what Winter is planning to do with them, Serpens said, his voice a low whisper so the driver of the cab doesn't get to hear what they were saying.After a few minutes, Lan alighted fro
The great Dragon Chapter 136: A desire to change and undo!
Immediately Winter heard the police coming, he morphed back into his human form pushing Jeremy's grandmother into the aquarium which she was sitting close to, while still tied to the chair.After that, he left Serpens to save either Jeremy or the grandmother."Good luck, Serpens, we'll meet again." He announced as he disappeared into the darkness.Serpens hurried to stop the milling machine from crushing Jeremy, but he was too late. Jeremy had died out of shock. He tried all his best to wake him up, forgetting that Jeremy's grandmother was drowning in the aquarium.The police came in at that moment and a couple of the officers hurried off to rescue Jeremy's grandmother, but they too had arrived late. The old woman was already dead by the time they brought her out of the water."Jeremy, wake up," Serpens cried. "Please don't die,"But Jeremy gave no response, his body slowly getting cold while he remained in Serpens' arms."Jeremy, please." Serpens' continued to cry. "This can't be th

Rose stormed into Jack's office, her eyes blazing with fury. After everything that happened happened that night, she just couldn't take it anymore. "Dad, how could you?" Her voice broke in tears. "How could you kill an innocent man? What have gained from his death?"Jack remained silent, refusing to say anything. Rose understood what that meant. Whenever her father remained quiet when being bashed, it only meant one thing, and that is the fact that he already buried his conscience and will not stop until he achieved all of his evil plans, but that didn't make her stop."Dad, I'm talking to you!" Rose exclaimed angrily, but Jack remained still all the same.Just then, the television popped up with the news of the death of Jeremy and his grandmother.Rose couldn't believe her ears as she listened to the reporter who spoke on the TV."Dad, did you do it too?" Rose asked. "Did you kill Flynn's grandmother and brother?""No I didn't!" Jack turned to face her, retorting angrily."You're l

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Professor Layton's brow furrowed. "What time machine?""I really don't know the whole story. But one thing I know is that Serpens has not yet failed. Whatever is happening now can be prevented from happening, if Serpens and Xin can return to the past. There's still hope for Draketown," Rose pressed further.Professor Layton paused for a moment, trying to understand what Rose was driving at. He suddenly remembered the last time Serpens and Xin visited him, claiming they had come from a different timeline, but in his anger, he ended up chasing them away."Wait a minute. Are you trying to say that Serpens had come to the future when the dragons had not yet been released? Because that's the only logical explanation that can make me see the possibility of all that you're driving at.""I guess so. Wait let me call him." Rose said, pulling out her phone from her bag only to see that she had missed several calls from him."Serpens had been calli
The great Dragon Chapter 139: looking for a way to save Xin
The night was already far gone but Professor Layton and Rose took the risk of meeting with Serpens at the hospital. There wasn't any traffic, making the drive smooth.Professor Layton and Rose entered the hospital ward, the soft beeps of machines and gentle hum of fluorescent lights filling the air. The scent of disinfectant and the faint tang of sickness hung heavy over the rows of beds, each one a testament to the fragility of human life."So where is Serpens?" Professor Layton inquired."Must be in Xin's ward," Rose replied as they proceeded to Xin's ward which was nearly at the extreme end of hall way.They met one of the nurses who confirmed that Serpens was inside and had been there all evening."Thank you," Rose greeted the nurse wearing her ever beautiful smile.Stepping into the ward, their eyes were drawn to Serpens seated beside Xin, who was lying in the bed, surrounded by life-saving equipment, just how Rose had left her before going to confront her father.Serpens' eyes,

Serpens and Rose sat in the hospital room, surrounded by the continuous beeping of machines and the soft hum of fluorescent lights, a reminder of the fact that Xin's life was still in danger and that everything was still far from over.The weight of everything that had happened to them hung heavy in the air, a palpable force that seemed to press down on their shoulders. It was like everything that was happening, was happening so fast before Serpens' eyes that he suddenly missed the good old days with just him and sister, Serena living their peaceful and quiet lives.Serpens' eyes were filled with fear, his brow furrowed with worry. "What if she doesn't make it?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "What if we can't save her?"Rose reached out, her hand brushing against his. "Don't say that, Serpens," she said, her voice soft but firm. "We have to be optimistic. We have to believe that everything will be fine."Serpens shook his head, his eyes dropping to the floor. "It's hard

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
