Chapter 25: Dragon [1]

Chapter 25: Dragon [1]

Jorren asked Diablo to take control over him, for he knew all too well that without Diablo's help, he wouldn't be able to get out of the mess.

The two individuals easily fended of the flames that could take down another grand wizard, so it didn't seem like any normal situation.

Far from agreeing, Diablo rejected his request bluntly.

'Master…?', Jorren was confused doubting what he heard.

However, Diablo's silence spoke volumes.

Doubtful, he wanted to look for his diary which was the primary means of communication. But he knew all too well that Diablo had rejected at the moment.

'But why?!', he questioned, baffled at the moment.

Diablo however did not reply.

"Abandoned by your master? Pfft.", C laughed aloud as the flames vanished.

Cancelling the barrier, C then walked towards Jorren and abruptly grabbed his hair.

"A grand wizard has the power to destroy an entire kingdom with the flick of his wrist…"

"But you, pfft, you got pushed back by a boy and now, you can't do anything on your own…"

"It was forgery, wasn't it…?"

C's taunts didn't stop. He kept questioning Jorren's identity.

Jorren lowered his head as he heard that, his eyes fixated on the ground. He then stared at both his trembling hands.

'This is… me?', he questioned to himself.

'What's… what's wrong with me?'

Jorren, raising his right hand, slapped his right cheek.

Slap!

C's and S' laughter ceased when he did that, for it was unexpected.

Silence covered the entire room as both of them merely stared at Jorren and exchanged gazes between themselves.

"You are right…"

"I am forgetting my identity.", Jorren murmured, his voice cold and deep.

He realized how he had been acting up till now. He showed his high and mighty self in front of Gin and the maiden's and in front of Daniel, and then, to frame him, he acted as if Daniel was a criminal.

Further, in front of C and S, his image changed to be that of a weakling and a coward.

"I am… the greatest devotee of the Curse Devil and I will prove that you to right now!", Jorren was angry that Diablo didn't help him, but he could still feel his master's presence.

He wanted to win him back!

And hence, he did the unthinkable, finally using his entire strength and making sure to etch in C's and S's mind, why he is famed as the 5 rank holder and a Grand Wizard.

He opened his mouth and bit his left hand, a bit above the wrist. The bit was so deep that his teeth, which had turned a bit fang-like and pointy, pierced in.

With great strength, he ripped out a large chunk of flesh, exposing his bone!

The splash of blood from his arteries and veins made the scene horrific. It was like a live fountain of blood spraying out!

"He's doing something crazy!", S shouted, pulling out her wand in the moment.

As for C, he raised his right hand, pointing his palm at Jorren.

Three-layered dome shaped barrier appeared one after the other, covering Jorren on all sides.

It was to prevent him from doing anything foolish. While C and S were a bit confident, they knew for sure that underestimating someone could go totally wrong!

"You fool, you shouldn't have-", even S was made at C for unecesarrily taunting him and mocking him again and again.

But it was late. Jorren, who had a newfound determination, decided to unleash everything he knew.

While having a wand lets a wizard concentrate his powers and use them with ease, someone of a Grand Wizard caliber could use the same magic without a wand – of course, a little weaker, but he could still do that.

And Jorren right now, unleashed something terrifying that almost killed both C and S!

"Draconic Serpent!", he Jorren screamed seconds after which his body started to glow with faint red light that kept getting brighter as each seconds passed.

C and S were taken aback by the sudden usage of a spell which they had never heard of. But it became all too obvious what it was.

Jorren's body started to change. His arms growing bigger as scales started to appear on them.

His face started to bulge and flattened at some areas.

The barrier that was made to stop him, broke in matter of seconds as Jorren transformed into a Megalith – he was now a gigantic monster which seemed like a mixture of a dragon and a serpent.

Red-colored skin combined with majestic golden eyes which had double eyelids present – following that were large wings. The red skin was soon replaced by scales all over.

The arms, although smaller than the body, extended out of the basement, ripping appart the walls.

Jorren then swung the gigantic and long tail, that had thorns sitting at the tip, from side to side, destroying the basement entirely.

The entire building was shaking, as if experiencing Earthquake.

Gin and the three maidens, who were watching over Noah, were terrified and confused at the moment as cracks started to appear all over the place.

Especially Noah, he was puzzled by the happening, confused by the situation.

"Pass me my wa-"

The ceiling started to break and the gigantic chunks of rocks started to fall on the maidens and the father. Of course, Gin wasted no time in chanting a spell.

"Shiel-Rio.", he did so without a want, just swinging his left hand.

Almost instantly, a green colored semi-transparent dome shaped barrier appeared around all the three maidens and himself. Of course, Noah was left out.

A gigantic rock crumbled and fell close to him.

Bam!

Noah was terrified for a moment, as if he was dead!

The maidens and Gin escaped using Stynom, leaving Noah behind.

"Tsk. No humanity at all.", Noah cussed, a frown sitting on his face.

And it was only then that he noticed the ceiling cracking even more. A large portion of it slid a little about to fall.

"Mutiny…", he raised both his arms and erected a small shield around him.

But as the ceiling fell, almost instantly cracks appeared on the shield.

'No…'

Noah had forgotten that he was in the ground floor and there were five floors above him - the sculptures and rocks that could easily way over 100s of tonnes and wandless magic could hardly sustain such weight!

BOOM!

The entire temple was destroyed.
