Reborn as a DRAGON

Chapter 349: Turmoil

As we swiftly traveled through the mortal lands, chaos reigned supreme in every corner we passed. The once-thriving cities, fortresses, and villages were now reduced to rubble and ruins. The aftermath of the sudden attack was evident in the devastated landscapes and the lingering stench of death that hung heavy in the air.

Despair and desperation gripped the hearts of the mortals, who had witnessed their world torn apart by the cataclysmic events unfolding. In their eyes, it was the end of the world, and their prayers echoed through the ruins, reaching out to their gods for salvation.

Amidst the wreckage, we encountered scenes of both unity and anarchy. Some sought solace in their faith, banding together in prayer and solidarity, while others succumbed to their primal instincts, exploiting the chaos to satisfy their own selfish desires. Looters roamed the streets, adding fuel to the fire of turmoil and strife.

But amidst the mayhem, my focus remained unwavering. I cared little for the chaos around us, for my mind was consumed by thoughts of my siblings. Sidus, Ynos, and the fate that awaited them. We had to find them, regroup, and face the challenges ahead together.

Teleporting from one place to another, guided by my cosmic mana, we moved with urgency, bypassing the scenes of devastation and despair. The mortals we encountered, in their fear and confusion, hardly registered our presence. We were but fleeting shadows in their crumbling world.

And so, we pressed on, our journey fueled by determination and the flickering flame of hope. I would find Sidus, and from there, make my way to Ynos. Together, we would be safer. I constantly repeated in my mind.

It didn't take long before we reached again the fortress where the Humans and Mindweavers had stood against the Auris assault. There, we were met with a devastating sight. The stronghold that had once stood defiant was now reduced to a pile of rubble and debris. The aftermath of the battle was a stark reminder of the destructive power that had swept through the land.

A sense of unease crept over me as I surveyed the scene, the remains of fallen warriors and civilians strewn across the devastated landscape. The air was heavy with the stench of death and despair, an apocalyptic tableau that made me shake my head helplessly.

Summoning my water mana, I extended my senses, scanning the surroundings for any sign of Sidus. The water element acted as my conduit, reaching out with its ethereal tendrils to search for traces of my brother's presence. The mana swirled and twisted, mapping the area with an otherworldly awareness.

Breta, now perched on my back, observed the scene with a somber expression. Her form reverting back to a more human sized one.

As the water mana continued its search, my heart pounded with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. Where was he? I doubted he would stay in the same place after everything, but I still couldn't shake the feeling that time was of the essence.

"Above!" Breta yelled, and I felt it almost immediately. I raised my head and watched as what could only be called a meteor descended toward the ground. Upon closer look, it was obvious that what it was, was not a simple rock, but the head of one of those bastards.

The elongated skull was adorned with razor-sharp, obsidian-hued horns that curved menacingly towards the sky. Gleaming, luminescent red eyes, filled with an insatiable hunger, that remained wide open, reflected an otherworldly malevolence.

Jagged, serrated teeth, glistening with an unearthly phosphorescent glow, jutted out from its maw, hinting at the bastard's insatiable appetite for destruction. The abomination's facial contours were etched with deep, contorted ridges, resembling ancient, weathered runes.

From its chiseled, stone-like visage, writhing tendrils of black smoke continuously billow and coil as it fell, casting an eerie shroud around its monstrous countenance. A palpable aura of dread surrounded the creature, emanating a chilling, ethereal presence.

Without a moment's hesitation, I unleashed the power of my dragon breath, summoning the torrent of energy that materialized before me. The radiant glow illuminated the sky, casting a brilliant light upon the destroyed landscape. With an undeniable sense of purpose, the blast surged forward, hurtling towards the menacing skull that loomed before us.

The creature, its eyes burning with a madness that mirrored the chaos of the world around us, stood defiant in the face of my attack. Yet, weakened by the battle it had just fought, it lacked the strength to mount a substantial defense. As my dragon breath engulfed it, the head quivered and convulsed, its form shrouded in a fiery embrace.

Breta, seizing the opportunity, followed suit, her spear crackling with divine energy. With a determined expression, she hurled the spear towards the weakened abomination. The weapon soared through the air, guided by her unwavering aim, and struck its mark with precision. The combined might of our assault brought forth a final blow, ensuring that the creature would pose no further threat, and causing it to explode in the sky with a massive boom.

"For good measure," Breta proclaimed, her voice tinged with a mix of determination and satisfaction.

I didn't reply and instead continued rushing forward. Silent determination filled the air as we ventured deeper into the northern territory. My senses were keenly attuned to the flow of mana, relying on my water element to guide us in our search for Sidus. The elements, acting as my loyal scouts, scanned the area tirelessly, their ethereal presence reaching out to detect any trace of our missing sibling.

Breta, ever watchful, maintained a vigilant gaze on our surroundings. Her senses, honed by divine power, were attuned to the slightest hint of danger. She stood at the ready, her spear reappeared firmly in her hand, prepared to defend us should any threat arise from the shadows.

The landscape before us was a stark contrast to the chaos we had left behind. The northern territory, while scarred by the effects of the ongoing turmoil, seemed to retain a semblance of order. Villages, though battered, still stood defiantly, their inhabitants persevering through the trials that had befallen them.

My focus remained fixed on the task at hand, trusting in the vigilance of my water element to guide us. When suddenly, the elements reported their findings, sharing the subtle whispers of Sidus's presence they had detected. A sense of relief washed over me as I doubled my speed and began to teleport, drawing nearer to my brother's location.
