Chapter 27

Sven even after all his training, and battles so far. He has never been able to tap into that overwhelming power he showed a year ago. Being pushed to the brink of death, and after hearing the words in his head he woke up. While Nova was walking away, and trying to gather praise from the crowd. Sven got back up. A powerful aura began to fill the stadium. The runes on the walls began to glow trying to contain the force. She turned around quickly to find out what was happening. Sven was standing, but she couldn't believe it.

A massive roar was released as a familiar aura over swept over everyone in the city. It was the same one that gave them fear a year ago. Helga and Astrid were even amazed to see this. After all they went through they never felt this before when fighting with Sven. Nova seeing this and feeling this intense force immediately reformed her arm blades as she went in to attack before he could gain control over the power. Sven immediately sprouted a new arm, and as Nova closed in to cut it off again. As soon as she was close enough, and about to leave it off. A massive shockwave launched her back.

Sven rapidly began to grow in size. He was standing at ten feet, and his body quickly became covered in golden scales. A thick tail sprung from his back, along with a massive pair of scaled wings. His head began to morph and took the shape of a dragon. He had several long horns growing from his head resembling a crown. The whites in his eyes went pitch black, and his pupils resembled that of a serpent as they began glowing gold. No one in the crowd could move, and immense pressure was bearing down on them all.

Nova refused to admit defeat even after being intimated by the intense aura. She pointed her arms out as the blades launched from her arms, in an attempt to pierce his skin. Sven saw them coming, and swung at them with is claws. They were immediately destroyed, as Sven took flight launching towards Nova. She whipped her tail in an attempt to counter. He caught her tail stopping the force with ease, and slammed her into the ground. Before she could react Sven's mouth opened revealing a three-pronged snake tongue. Massive amounts of wind and fire began to gather swirling around feeding the energy of the other as they condensed to into an attack. The level of density in this attack was unrivaled, even the blades on her arms were made of grade five magic, and this was still far superior. Under the immense pressure, the runes on the wall began to crack, and the barrier was destroyed. Seeing this Mika swarmed in order to declare the battle over, and Sven the winner. For if he were to launch that attack it would surely obliterate Nova, and with the barrier broken the crowd would also be in danger.

"Sven has won, and will there be any more challenges? It would have to be after repairs were made of course." Mika asked as silence fell across the crowd.

Sven after hearing this closed his mouth as the energy dissipated. The healer from before wasted no time in jumping in. Though Sven just slammed her the amounts of damage was still severe from the force of the impact.

"Then that concludes the matches," Mika said as the crowds began to cheer again.

"That's impossible dragons are extinct!"

"Then what the hell would you call that?"

"Who knows, but one thing for sure. He is definitely the strongest tera in the sanctuary now."

The crowd was arguing over what they just witnessed. Mika was even at a loss. Everything she ever heard about dragons was they were wiped out even before Olympus fell. After the win was declared Sven collapsed, as he quickly reverted back to a human. His body was exhausted from all the healing in the last few fights, and the strain on his body from releasing his bloodline left a huge strain on his body. When his companions saw this they jumped in immediately. Trying to check on him, and wake him up. No matter what they did he didnt budge. The arena was quickly cleared out. The only ones who remained were Mika, Astrid, and Helga. Nadia was also close by as she was in the crowd watching with everyone else. She hid in the stands wanting to eavesdrop on the situation. Not long after people left Chief Mikom arrived. He was dressed in a fur coat and his clothing made from animal hide. He was a stout man, but an old one. His hair was already white, and balding.

"What happened here? That was no normal aura. Was it that young man down there?" Mikom questioned.

"Yes, it was. There's no doubt he is a dragon. He was covered in golden scales, and his form resembled that of a dragon in human form." Mika replied quickly.

"When I use my power of prophecy, I see the past as well as the future. That was not the aura of a regular dragon. I felt a strong aura that is similar to the one from the great tree. He has to be a direct descendant of Gaia. That would make him the Nemean Dragon, that once guarded the sacred grove leading into Olympus." Mikom said.

"He was killed long ago though. Even if he wasn't, to have a direct descendant in this era would be impossible." Mika replied.

"Yet there is no denying that he is here. This is indeed an interesting matter. No wonder Lilith sent him here. If its really him then he must have an important purpose. We will do everything we can to help him find his destiny. Have him put into the house he is staying in, and be sure to have him tended to by Kimi. She is our most gifted mage and should help to speed his recovery. Also, have the runes here fixed immediately. They are no longer working. " Mikom said before heading out.
