Chapter 122-Freedom Beyond Death(4)

During all this time, Celestinia had kept quite, even when she saw Austin clearing the corrupts, she only raised an eyebrow in intrigue, she had to say that with what she had seen till now, she had a great satisfaction in Austin but even then her surprises were pretty mild from what she saw

But the moment she saw that black arrow come to life, her expression completely changed as shock took over it, in a rare moment of surprise her demeanor changed as she shouted out

"Impossible!!"

Her voice was loud, earning the surprises of those at the room, up and till now they haven't seen such a reaction from her, Scarlet was the most surprised as she had never seen such a look on her big sisters face, she spoke out to Celestinia

"Big sister are you okay?"

It was only when Celestinia had heard Scarlet's voice she did she break out of her trance, a deep look appeared on her face as she looked at the scene

"Big sister, do you know what that arrow is?"

Scarlet spoke with a questioned look, even she could feel suppression from that roar, it was the first she felt like this from an object, what kind of power does it have to suppress her power?, it's then she heard a sigh from Celestinia,

"That's a dragon god's blessed item"

"The Dragon Gods?...."

Scarlet had deep shock on her face, not only her the rest in the room to felt shocked, the Dragon God, he's among the 5 divine beasts of the world, he rose up to power during the war thousands of years ago, any item related to him would make the world go mad with frenzy, there was a pause for a moment before Celestinia spoke again

"It's a secret among us dragons but during the Dragons Gods younger days, he was a bit extreme, due to his interest in the other species, he ended up creating a challenge, after he created it, he spread it in hidden location around the world"

"Wait?, if there was such a thing why haven't we heard of it?"

Nell was the one who spoke, her feline eyes widened along with her question, Celestinia went quite for a moment before she spoke again

"It's simple, those who had ever found it never passed and they never lived after it, normally it was no problem to create such a thing but the gift the Dragon God prepared in return for passing the test was a single blessing on a weapon"

"In simpler terms, the item that was blessed would be able to release one strike at the full power of the Dragon God..."

"Huh!?"

"That's!"

"But?!"

Everyone in the room again widened their eyes from surprise and fear, well how couldn't they!, an item that could display a single attack at the power of the Dragon God is a national level threat item!, even if it was created at the Dragon God young age, it's power could not be questioned

"But it's nothing to have worried about, after the other dragons knew about it, they moved to remove these tests due to it's potential danger but even then no body had passed the tests, in all honesty the test was impossible to be passed by anyone, that was what we had thought.....until know that is.."

Celestinia became quite as she focused on the beautiful black arrow in Austin's hand, it was then Nora spoke with a scared look

"But!, no matter what Austin shouldn't be unable to weild that power, correct?"

Nora's voice was loud, bringing back the attention of the rest, it's then they realized a crucial fact they missed, having a powerful weapon doesn't mean you can use it, you must also have the corresponding strength to weild it too, otherwise the weapon might end up consuming you

"That's right, the blessing in other ways is a curse, if you don't have the power equal to of a dragon, the moment you use this weapon, well that will be your last moment and from what I must think, he must not even be an Imperial right, if then he might be able to survive.....maybe"

After Celestinia finished speaking, the room fell into an unnatural silence, the room was tense but contrary to what they thought Nora didn't lash out, she took a deep breath, as she looked back at the screen, not only her the rest too

Why?, the reason was simple not only had Nora but the rest to have noticed, that whatever Austin had done till now he had a plan, plus looking at Austin's face anybody could see it, he has no desire to die

Meanwhile back into the world

'Damn, fuck this shit!'

My body was shaking from the sheer weight and might of the arrow at my hand, the Dragon God's blessed item, it was something I had earned after a hellish, near death trail, I had asked for a blessed arrow, I was planning on using this only when I had slept with the Dragon Empress

'Why are things so hard?.....'

I could only smile as I looked at the beautiful man that now stood on a huge tsunami, it's sheer size was triple the cliff, in front of it I looked just like an ant, the water swirled as an image of a monster started to appear on it, I kept my smile as I commanded my harp

Soon it started shaking as it started to expand, the purple strings moved as they joined as one, while the edges of the harp expanded, within seconds a beautiful blue bow with purple string appeared

'Enlarge!'

I didn't wait as I commanded the bow, the bow started shaking as it started to expand, in a breaths time it grew as tall as me, with a thud the end of the bow fell to the ground shaking the cliff, the bow was embedded into the cliff

I walked upto the bow as I held the arrow in my hand, even now it was wrecking my body, nearing the huge bow, I held the bow with my left hand as I pulled the bow along with the arrow with my right

Cracking sound was heard as my body started to break fresh blood spewed from my arms as my body started cracking, yet I could only grit my teeth as I pulled the string to full lenght and when I did a huge dragon roar shook the world

An image of a black dragon appeared on my back, it's sized rivaled the tsunami in front of me, it stood tall and proud as it floated behind me, while on the outside the scene was silent, many of the girls there had stars on their face seeing the scene in front of them

They could see a huge tsunami trying to swallow the silver haired boy in front to it, yet a dragon stood behind him, seemingly protecting him, the boy had a haughty smile on his handsome face as he faced the tsunami with a single arrow, how could this not cause ripples in the heart of these young girls?

While things where good outside on the inside Austin was breaking down, his body kept breaking down due to the power of the bow, cracks and blood filled his body, just when he thought it was over golden particles stated to surround him

'This is!'

I could only watch with surprise as thousands of golden particles surrounded me, they swirled around me before entering my body, soon power started to fill my body as it started to heal

'Please.....save our king...'

Due to the power from thousands of different soldiers my body just for a moment held powers beyond it's limit, pleading words filled my ears, I felt as if nothing could stop me at the moment, a blue aura filled the black arrow as I let the string go

SWISH...BOOM

I had only heard the wind rustle as I was blasted back from the recoil, my hands broke, as the arrow traveled to it's enemy, the imaginary dragon too roared as it moved forward with the arrow

"Die!"

The corrupted Xavier roared from the top as he put everything into his attack, the water shook as the tsunami moved forward, the water and the arrow met and then.....well there was no then as the arrow blasted apart the water and it's power, as it moved for forward unhindered

With a thud the arrow hit Xavier, it's power tried to break his body but at that time a blue aura travelled from the arrow to his body completely removing the corrupted mana, clarity and relief filled Xavier's eyes

It was just for a second but he saw the peaceful sea and his past, a smile filled his face as peacefulness took over it

"Thanks....."

That was the last words he spoke before the arrow drilled into his body and exploded, a huge wave shook the sealed world...
