Capítulo 1022: Chapter 1022 Unlucky Dragon  

"You want us to sacrifice one of us to save Ais?" Bete muttered with a contorted face, "Fine... I'll do it!"

"What are you saying? I'll do it." Tiona also stepped forward with a nervous laugh.

Tione also came forward, "Why don't we decide with rock-paper-scissors?"

"You kids are still young. Let this old man do it." Gareth didn't want to lose.

But before the entire Loki Familia presents themselves, Hermes immediately stopped their sacrificial contest by saying, "Sadly, none of you are going to survive much less save Ais right now. Albert was only able to save Ais that time because the Black Dragon hadn't fully gotten into her yet."

'Then what's the point of telling us that story!?' Was what everyone wanted to ask when suddenly an idea came from Freya, "I see... So we need someone whose mind and soul won't be corrupted no matter what the Black Dragon does. Then we really only have a single choice."

Already knowing his immunity against mental attacks and the gazes that Freya, Hermes, and his grandfather, Zeus, were giving him, Bell could only sigh.

"Bell?" Haruhime at his side became extremely worried at his strange reaction.

"I'll be fine. Trust me." Bell smiled gently at Haruhime and patted her head before leaving her side, "Grandpa... I can do it, right?"

Zeus hesitated for a brief moment before nodding, "Theoretically, you should be able to do it. However, you're the only person we found that has this kind of constitution and we aren't really sure of what other results could happen. More importantly, a battle within minds is an entirely different field so we're all essentially just guessing that you could do it."

Everyone became silent with only Ais' roars remaining in the background.

Haruhime looked around and saw that except for Serafall, Loki, and the small White Dragon who were intently staring at Ais, everyone else was looking at Bell, unknowing to what they were all thinking. She held her hand in worry and muttered his name while shaking, "...Bell... Please..." She wanted to stop him because his existence was much more important than the rest of the people here to her, but she knew that Bell wasn't the kind of person who'd abandon someone if he could do something about their plight. And that's what she loved the most about him.

"Wait for me." Bell touched Haruhime's hand and gently moved it, "I'll be back."

Aside from Bell's footsteps and Ais' struggle, no other sounds could be heard in this desolate place.

Everyone anticipated what would happen with bated breath when suddenly, a wall of ice suddenly appeared in front of Bell, stopping his tracks just before he could reach Ais, "Please don't interfere.", a few words came from Serafall.

"What are you doing!?" Hermes scowled at her, "Any further delays could prove fatal to Ais Wallenstein and the revival of the Black Dragon in a much stronger form! Aren't you the one interfering now when you said you wouldn't!?"

Serafall ignored him and just focused on the changes that were happening in Ais, "You can let go. I'll take care of it." She addressed Tenestra.

Tenestra hesitated and didn't know who to believe. Nevertheless, she didn't have much of a choice since she was running dry too and it'd only be a minute or two before she's fully depleted.

As soon as Tenestra's Earth Magic stopped, Ais' madness became worse as she broke through the spikes of hardened earth. But that didn't last long as ice instantly grew and encapsulated her entire body, leaving only her head free.

"GRRAAHHHHH!!!!"

Hermes lost his patience and approached Serafall to ask her face-to-face what she was trying to do. The rage he was feeling prevented him from noticing that Loki was already blocking his way until he almost crashed into her, "Don't interfere." Loki muttered the same words as Serafall.

"Loki? Why?" Hermes asked and those around her also had the same question.

Loki, however, didn't explain much and just said, "Don't interfere. This is her fight... Not anyone else's."

While everyone else was confused, Freya's eyes widened as soon as she took a glance at Ais. Her soul which was doused in complete darkness has now a golden tint in the middle and tries to fight back against the surrounding malice, "...Amazing." She muttered. This, for her, was a far more mesmerizing battle compared to what they were watching before.

Freya's expression prompted the other Gods to also look closer at Ais and it was then they finally noticed the minute changes in the rampaging transformed girl. Although they couldn't see as much as Freya, they could still tell that she was fighting back against the mind-eating Black Dragon.

Sadly, especially for Freya, she could see that the golden light was slowly being devoured and it won't be long before it disappears, '...She won't make it.' As much as she wanted her to reverse the situation and win, she couldn't look away from reality.

And as if the last dazzling light before its death, the madness from Ais' face was swept away for a single moment, and tears of blood started streaming down her face, "...P-please... Kill... Me... I... Can't..."

Loki clicked her tongue and Hermes instantly turned to Bell, "Bell-kun! Hurry!"

Meanwhile, contrary to everyone's expectations, Serafall chuckled and shocked everyone which caused everyone, especially those from the Loki Familia to lose it, "What's so funny!!!?" Tiona shouted and was about to jump at her in rage.

Still, Serafall ignored them and just focused on Ais' pleading eyes, "Lysa-chan~ We've seen it. She, at least, has the heart to fight back even if the odds are heavily stacked against her."

The small White Dragon nodded and contrary to everyone's expression, she seemed to see the entire situation positively, which just caused further confusion.

"Now go. That monster's luck ran out the moment it became a Dragon." Serafall pushed the Dragon towards Ais making the latter panic and despair, "...N-no... Don't come!!!" Immediately after, Ais lost consciousness and the 'Black Dragon' was able to emerge again, replacing her expression with utter madness.

But Lysa ignored her pleas and approached her. Meanwhile, the ice that had been encasing Ais, disappeared, freeing her and as soon as Lysa approached, disgusting black tendrils shoot out from Ais, intending to catch the 'food'.

Unfortunately for it, its approach awakened something deep inside the White Dragon and a snake that didn't reflect any light suddenly emerged from her forehead.

The snake opened its eyes that only consisted of purple light. The 'Black Dragon' that was rampaging inside Ais froze for a moment and the madness disappeared as if it was a lie, before it was replaced by fear.

"GRAAAHHH!!!" Ais roared at the snake before turning around in panic, flapping its wings to escape as fast and as far as possible.

28th00: Ophis did personally bless(and rebirth her I think?) Lysa, so yeah, being a Dragon is a bad idea if you’re gonna attack one of Ophis’ broods. Just… A really bad idea…

Capítulo 1023: Chapter 1023 ‘Aria’

"Haaahhh... Haaahhh... Haaahhh..." Catching her breath, Ais doesn't know how long she had been staying in this strange dark world where she could completely see herself despite the absence of light. Regrettably, she couldn't enjoy the insanity-inducing darkness as she was not alone in this world.

Sensing the danger on her side, Ais gritted her teeth and dodged while parrying the unknown threat using her rapier. A loud clang resounded and sparks erupted before she was thrown away from the force behind the attack. But no matter how much she waited, Ais never felt any walls and was able to stand back up while looking at the single red light that was reflected in the distance that had a row of sharp teeth below it.

As if mocking her, the mouth full of razor-sharp teeth smiled at Ais before disappearing into the darkness once again.

'How long has it been?' She asked herself. This kind of clash has already happened at least ten thousand times and she had already stopped counting long ago. Her body didn't seem to get tired but her mind was already about to snap. Still, she couldn't give up no matter how hard things became and how much this monster played around with her. She doesn't know when, but she had to wait for a gap to leave this place. It was her promise to her late mother.

.

.

.

She didn't know when it happened, but she was watching a 'meteorite' pierce through the hateful Black Dragon, and instead of feeling gleeful, she instead felt an immeasurable sadness that took over her heart. And before she realized it, she was already standing on a familiar small hill with a single towering tree on top of it.

"This is..." It was the hill that was near their house, the spot where she spent most of her childhood playing around. The scent of the air, the rustling of grass and leaves, the gentle touch of the sun, it was all the same as she remembered it. Closing her eyes to take in this moment, a single tear streamed down her cheek.

"Everything here is just an illusion that you created." Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind the tree, and a second later, a figure stepped out from behind it.

"...M-mother."

Ais ran towards her and grabbed her into a big hug. The floodgates that were keeping most of her tears away were once again opened, "M-mother!" Although she was able to hear her words inside her head after she disappeared once again yesterday, she dearly missed her mother so much that she wasn't able to sleep.

Aria returned the hug and patted her head gently while smiling. However, that smile of hers has a tint of melancholy in it, 'This is the end, huh?'

'We still have some time.' Aria thought after taking a quick look at the sky so she entertained Ais to the best of her abilities.

After Ais calmed down, the two of them sat down under the shade of the tree and started talking about random things just like in the old time. Although her father was not present, she was incredibly happy that this was even possible. She was so glad that she wanted to stay in this dream forever.

But the more they talk, the more the illusion seems to break down, with Ais finding some discrepancies with her 'mother' Aria. There was a nagging feeling that she kept ignoring because she didn't want to end this blissful time.

"And Tione kept pestering me that I should soon find a man for myself since I'm already old enough. But I'm not really interested and she doesn't have one too after she gave up on the captain."

"Ara~ I failed to realize that you're already at that age. And Tione is truly an unfortunate woman, setting her sights on a man that would never reciprocate her feelings. It must have been hard."

Ais looked up at her and added, "I don't really understand those sorts of stuff. I'm busy enough to get stronger, so why should I waste my time on companionship? I've seen enough relationships that aren't so great and if its purpose is to leave an offspring, I already have Lysa that I want to take care of."

"Then let me ask you a question, what is Lysa to you?"

"Lysa? I don't really know what it means to become a mother but I consider her as my daughter. I'd sacrifice everything for her."

"You're already doing a good job. That's what it means to become a good parent to their child." Aria chuckled, "Now let me ask you a different question, what do you think of Tiona, Tione, Lefiya, Filvis, and the others close to you?"

Ais didn't know what Aria was trying to say but she still answered, "They are my important friends. They are my family."

"Finally, here's the real question. Did you choose Lysa to become your daughter? Did you choose those from the Loki Familia to become your friends and family?"

Ais immediately sat up and denied her words, "No!"

"Right? All genuine relationships are like that. You may choose who to approach first, but making them an important part of your life comes gradually and naturally even if you don't know how to. That's the same for love. You'll meet people and even without you realizing it, you might even be able to find the one." While saying all of this, Aria looked up.

"Is that how you got together with father?"

Aria looked back to her and now with a defeated smile on her face, "Yes... That is what I'd like to say, but I never really know what kind of person your father is nor do I even remember what he looks like."

"...What?" Ais became distraught and her heart rate started going up, "W-what are you saying, mother?"

Unconcerned with her confusion, Aria continued, "I only knew him for a brief moment, much less love him. In the first place, it's impossible for me to feel any love... Is what I thought eons ago."

A sad and longing smile then emerged on Aria's face, "You really are a child of a miracle... Making me betray my own origin and letting me feel what's impossible."

Ais' heart dropped and grabbed Aria's hand, "W-what are you saying? I don't understand..."

"Ais... You already know the truth but you're just ignoring it... I'm a mere fake... A mark to your downfall."
