The great Dragon Chapter 143: A successful operation
Rose was in her room when Serpens came knocking. After pondering on everything, he had decided to have a word with her."Come in," Rose ushered him in."You're not coming to the hospital?" Serpens asked."I don't know, Serpens." Rose sighed."Is it because of what happened between us last night into this morning?" Serpens pressed further."It's not that, Serpens. It's just that....""Shhhh" Serpens hushed her, placing his finger across her lips."Rose, I just want you to know that once everything is done and we've returned to our timeline, we'll know what really is in store for us." Serpens' spoke softly.Rose remained speechless, staring into his dreamy eyes. She just couldn't help but admire those eyes, making her miss those times when she'd stare into them, having him all to herself.She really wished she could have back those days and not have to compete for Serpens' attention with anyone. But with Xin in the picture, it wasn't looking like a possibility. She knew they all needed
The great Dragon Chapter 144: Xin, find Rose
The news of Xin's successful operation soon spread through the whole of Draketwon like wild fire, much to Serpens' surprise. He wasn't expecting the news to be all over the place, but it appeared the lead doctor was bent on receiving global recognition for being the first person to have carried out such an operation.Every media house, newspaper and television channel carried the news, and Serpens' just couldn't hide his fury and his frustration. He wasted no time to call the doctor and ask him what was really going on."Doctor, what is this I'm hearing? Why did you have to make the procedure a thing of public attention." Serpens' queried."Because I deserve the accolades," the doctor replied, a sense of pride evident in his voice, increasing Serpens' frustration."Accolades?" Serpens brow furrowed. "Do you have the slightest idea of what you've done?"The doctor, was however not moved by Serpens' querry, and just before Serpens' could continue his querry, he dropped the call yo atten
The great Dragon Chapter 145: Romance in the midst of darkness
With the news of Xin's successful operation now all over the place, he just couldn't wait for her to be fully conscious, and then they could finally go back home.The only thought on his mind at that moment was how they could get back to their timeline. As he sat in the silence of his room, he thought of all the people he had lost. He thought of his sister, Serena, and what the chances were to really get things to turn differently.He remembered the promise he had made to his parents, how he was going to be a good big brother to her, protecting her and making sure that no harm comes to her.His thoughts also drifted to Tiara and the sacrifice she had made just to make sure he was able to succeed in his mission. He thought of Rose and the situation that they had now found themselves in, and finally about Xin, whose awakening was all that was left to rewrite the fate of Draketown.The shrill ring of his phone shattered the silence, drawing Serpens' attention away from his troubled thoug
The great Dragon Chapter 146: Offering comfort in the midst of despair
As Serpens approached the hospital, the bright lights of the building brought him back to the reality of the moment. There was a police car which was parked outside, informing Serpens that the police had already been informed, and that was not enough to convince him that the attempt on Xin's life wasn't just a tiny matter.Upon entering, he found one of the nurses and the Professor Layton engaged in a tense discussion about the attempt on Xin's life. Serpens' pulse quickened as he absorbed the gravity of the situation, his concern for Xin's well-being, immediately eclipsing all other thoughts he still had left about Rose and their almost shared romantic episode."What really happened?" He inquired as he approached Professor Layton.He noticed the frightful look on the face of the nurse like she was afraid of something life threatening. He had worn his disguise before leaving the house so that no one would recognise him as Serpens Ryu. He always wore his disguise whenever he left the h
The great Dragon Chapter 147: Through the memory lane
Serpens returned from the hospital only to be met with the surprise that the door to the cabin was left open, and the lights left on. It was unusual, because the Rose he had always known would never sleep with the lights on. "Rose!" He exclaimed, rushing into the cabin. He needed no one to tell him that Rose was in danger. He remembered having instructed Rose to shut the door behind her before leaving for the hospital.Upon entering the cabin, he realized that the whole place had been turned upside down. It was obvious that someone had entered the cabin while he was away and whoever it was, had probably come for Rose."Rose!" He called out, hoping she could be somewhere around the cabin.He called several other times but there was no response from her, causing a feeling of unease to suddenly wash over him. He couldn't bring himself to imagine something bad happening to Rose, not with everything that had happened to all those that he loved.He just couldn't bring himself to handle any

Serpens immediately hailed a cab directing the driver to take him to the agreed location. He was already getting tired of Winter's endless summons and was determined to put it to an end already.The night was called and ominous and Serpens could feel his pulses increasing as he stepped out of the cab into the alley which was as quiet as a graveyard."Winter, show yourself," he called out, the sound of his voice echoing back into his ears."Rose!" Serpens also called out hoping one of them would hear him. The feeling in the pit of his stomach was so disturbing that he felt he was hearing strange sounds emanating from within the alley."Rose, can you hear me?" He called out again, still no response.Serpens could begin to hear the wind pick up, howling through the alley, informing him that Winter was somewhere around him.He turned around, but yo his surprise, there was no one there."Show yourself, Winter!" He barked, believing that Winter was trying to play tricks on him.He decided t
The great Dragon Chapter 149: Breaking free a second time
"Winter, please it's time to put an end to all of these. Enough of hurting innocent people. It's time to let go of the past and then see the bright side of the future," Serpens pleaded, his voice echoing through the alley, as he fixed his gaze on Rose who was still hanging from the rope which Winter had bounded her with.Winter smirked, his hands gripping the rope more tightly, pulling it down with a fierce intensity. "This isn't going to end until I'm satisfied that you've lost everyone who was ever dear to you,"Winter's words were like a hammer hitting a nail, piercing deep into Serpens' heart. He just couldn't stand the thought of losing anyone anymore. He had suffered too much losses already, and wasn't going to just stand and do nothing while Winter choked the life out of Rose.Serpens' eyes met with Rose, suspended from the rope which Winter continued to drag closer, her eyes wide with fear as she struggled to break free. The sight of Rose struggling for her life was heart brea
The great Dragon Chapter 150: The crossroads of destiny
The news headlines in the city that night was all about the fight between Serpens and Winter who had suddenly disappeared from the city after being pulled away by a strange force.Helicopters were flying all over the place, search lights illuminating the landscape as they searched for the dragons which had been fighting.Professor Layton navigated his car through the chaotic streets, the city's nightlife transformed into a scene of utter pandemonium. "Two dragon-like creatures clashed in the distance, their roars echoing off the skyscrapers as they breathed fire and destruction," the news was broadcasted all over the television stations in Draketwon.Professor Layton's eyes widened as he drove closer to the epicenter of the battle. Flames had engulfed buildings, and debris littered the streets. "Stay back," the police ordered as they tried to gain some control over the whole situation.People were running for their lives, screaming and crying as they tried to escape the mayhem."Eve

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
