The Effects of Dahak's Arrival

Kai was standing on the wall and watched the various figures from the Court's side beat and kill the enemy transcendents. Bellatrix was the last one to kill her prey, she had been playing with it and he still hadn't gotten over her attempt to torture him. Although, he had taught her a lesson afterwards on respecting her superiors, which had stopped her from trying again. But with the insane ones, you could never be sure.

The rest of the brainwashed dragons and vampires had been killed and their corpses were strewn all over the battlefield. Dracul had a regretful expression on his face as some of the vampires had been raised by him, Malcolm was also feeling remorse over Sam's death.

At that moment when the final enemy was killed, the vampire progenitors could both feel a crushing aura appear a few hundred miles away from their location. As it approached rapidly the weather was changing from the bright summer radiance to a cold, clouded, foreboding gloom.

And this was still when he was far away, as Dahak approached storms started to appear and grow in intensity. He could have arrived almost instantly at light speeds but instead, he had taken his time to lower their morale and see the changes caused merely by his aura.

Kai didn't doubt that he was over his head at that moment, although he could manipulate the weather too, it required a large amount of energy and he most certainly couldn't create such storms with his aura alone.

This was a result of a being that was much higher than himself on the food chain, he was an apex predator while Kai was the equivalent of prey.

But luckily his job wasn't to kill Dahak, it was merely to stall him until Dracul could take him out. And he wasn't alone, he had Morgana the woman who was heralded as the greatest sorceress in many millennia and had fought against Merlin as equals, to help him out.

At the same time inside the Court's HQ

Harry had managed to escape the room and was currently watching the news. Earlier he had felt an overpowering aura that had short-circuited the many protective measures keeping him safe and allowed him to escape the bunker unharmed.

He had rushed to the living room and switched on the television. On the news, there were many pictures showing the animals howling in terror. It seemed that the aura had enveloped the entire world and would prove to be closely linked to whatever Kai was doing at the moment.

Harry switched the news channel and saw that the reporter was showing a satellite image of Romania, or to be more specific Arad. It was the city that Kai was in, or at least near. When the boy who lived tried to reach out to his mentor/elder brother, he realised that he couldn't reach him.

The satellite zoomed in and was showing that there was an earthquake at an unbelievable level, while there was also an enormous hurricane on the same spot. In addition to those too powerful natural disasters, there was also an awful storm that had reached levels unseen before.

All these disasters happening at the same time combined with the animals' panicking had caused many to also panic and exclaim that the apocalypse was here. And they were not wrong, if the Court couldn't stop Dahak then there would really be an apocalypse, brought by the true dragon.

Harry had started to bite his nails in panic and hoped that Kai would survive. He also prayed to whatever god was out there that Kai would be saved.

He, unfortunately, didn‎‎'t know that something was listening and it wasn't a god but an old family friend…

Romania- The Outskirts of the Academy

Kai stood on the newly built walls of the academy and watched in horror as he finally saw Dahak's complete form. He was enormous, not big as a skyscraper or any other building but instead, he was simply titanic. Just his height alone was nearing 2000 metres tall, or two kilometres and that was just his height. The primordial dragon's body length was 7000 metres long from the tip of his nose to the tip of the jagged edge of his tail.

His wings were each 6 kilometres long and altogether he completely covered the sky, plunging the land into darkness. His head was enormous its length alone was several hundred metres long and several tens long. It had a mouth full of enormous building-sized fangs and a long snake-like tongue.

From its snout, two large clusters of condensed magical energy drifted out. His eyes were enormous, they were slited with many ridges coming down from his eyelid to protect them from harm. His eyes were constantly changing colours from pitch black, to a deep red and then to a royal purple before returning to black again.

Covering his entire body were many scales that were extremely sturdy. Kai could see another protective layer of magical energy encasing his body, he still didn't know what it was meant for.

Later he would discover that it was so the humans' technology wouldn't be able to see his or the rest of the magical community's activities.

He also observed that although Dahak's body was currently flying on all fours, it was built to stand on two legs, thus successfully making him taller than most mountains in the world.

When he arrived at the battlefield with his slow-paced flying all of the mortal creatures had already collapsed as a result of his aura and only the king class transcendents could stand up without letting his aura affect them.

When the great dragon arrived, Dracul had already entered a state of deep meditation and was resting behind a barrier created by Morgana.

'Well, I guess this is where I am going to be fighting.' Kai thought, in an effort to get rid of his fear. He quickly activated all of his buffs giving him a 50% increase in all physical abilities. He knew that he would need it.

Morgana also seemed to be mentally preparing herself and got ready. When Dahak landed he had caused an earthquake, which could have been deadly for all of the mortal fighters.

Right now, there were only two beings that could actually hurt Dahak and they were Morgana and Kai. Dracul could as well, but he was temporarily unable to fight.

This chapter was made to show how powerful Dahak really is. Usually, in the web novels, the authors don't actually show how powerful the antagonist is, merely stating that he could destroy mountains for example. In this chapter, I am trying to show how he is different from the rest of the ragtag villains that Kai had fought against inside the blood orb.
