76 [Chapter 76] Prepare To Fight

Dreag stares at the door and hears me screaming in the background. He quietly says, "Get him up and ready, even if injured, I need his help."

Both Winters look at him and nod before trying to comfort me as I cover my ears. Suddenly, the warnings stop and I uncover my ears, my pupils slits as I look around, trying to remember where I was. I suddenly see Dreag staring at me which promptly reminds me that we are in a very evident danger.

I get up, although struggling and stare at the door. 'Even when I was fighting those two ninjas, I didn't get that notification. Which means this is an enemy that I am either equal in strength with, or less.' I think as I stare at the door before suddenly, it opens. What is revealed a man with turquoise hair and red eyes, staring at everyone in the room as he holds a mass of what seems to be blood in his hands.

"Hey there, your the kid who killed all of our soldiers right? Well an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." He says as the blood in his hand begins to swirl in a circle, suddenly, Samantha's face goes pale as she sees this move. She suddenly yells, "Kurayami! Run!"

And the second I hear her words, I see the blood become a crimson beam that shoots at me. "Shadow manipulation!" I yell as I suddenly suck up every shadow to create a black mass of a shield. When the red beam makes contact, the shield dissipates almost instantaneously and I am flung against the wall, taking the full brunt of the force.

I hear a scream as I see Winter stare at me in horror and Dreag running at the new opponent, but no matter what Dreag does, his hits are deflected by some blue shield.

Suddenly, I start to black out, my consciousness flickering in existence as my armor barely protects my now melting skin. I scream in pain but it is quickly drowned out by the sound of my skin sizzling and the beam of crimson power hitting me full force. I begin to feel numb, when suddenly, a realization hit me.

'I am.....going to die...ain't I?' I think, all hope lost. Suddenly, a cracked, blood red screen appears before my eyes.

In a place far above the planets and the universe, past what we know exists, there sits a rift. Inside the rift, the is a prestige white hall, suddenly, someone enters the rift and it closes.

The gods of multiple beliefs are chatting, some scaled, others with multiple limbs, some not human, and some not even worshipped or known to exist. Suddenly, a group of them stops talking as the majority of them frown, one has a face full of shock, and suddenly, they disappear in different colors of light.

These gods suddenly come out of their beams of light and begin to hover over a massive planet, one 2 times larger than earth, but has colors of all sorts of places on its surface. They ignore it all and look at one part of the planet, seeing fluctuations they haven't seen in their respective worlds yet, one that makes them worry.

They suddenly look over at two of the gods, the only two scaled, one completely white and the other completely black, but their humanoid appearance shows they are currently in a demi-human form of Dragonborn.

"Saluma, Droke, what is going on here?" One of them asks, his appearance quite frightening. It looks like a black skinned orc with glowing red markings on his arm, pulsing with power, his body covered in multiple scars.

Saluma, the black Dragonborn, speaks first. "We have been watching our planets with great detail lately but we never saw any fluctuations of power such as this. She says as her purple eyes stare down at the planet, as if two gems in the universe. She has a very elegant figure and stands at about 5'6. She wears a purple dress, one that would even make a queen jealous. She looks over at her husband, Droke, who has been floating there quietly with his hand on his chin.

"Is there something wrong honey?" She asks as she holds his arm. Caressing it in her chest. He looks at her, a face full of confusion. "I usually see about anything that can happen in the future on this planet, but now that I start thinking about it, I stopped being able to see it around Christmas time." At that moment, he looks over at a goddess who is semi smirking. She has a human child like figure and is wearing a dress of red, green, and blue dress, although, it's slightly fluffier.

"Solica, did you do something to hide the power on this planet." She puts on a shocked expression before turning away. "Why would I do that?"

"Mainly because your always saying we need another god because it gets to boring up here." He says with a smirk on his face.

"I have no need to do such a thing." She says out loud, but her thoughts say otherwise. 'That kid, Kurayami, he didn't make it to a god level already? Did he? That's impossible.'
