Chapter 15: Tale of Two Queens
(A/N: And like clockwork, we've made it to the Past Tartarus Arc, the arc where the origins of Tartarus are touched upon. This arc would explain many things about the Tartarus arc not explored in canon along with the Lore of Zentopia as well as backstories for certain characters and will tie into the Dragon King Festival Arc later on. If Irene was the star of the last arc, well she still is here but there are more characters here who are in the spotlight and would get their chance to shine and grow much as Irene did. Anyways without further ado, let's start off the Tartarus Arc, in X389, 402 years before the Fairy Tail one begins. Been dealing with tooth pain for the last 2 months so this chapter was severely delayed but now that i got the tooth extracted out, I'm back at full swing. Special thanks to my beta reader Geralt D. Wolfwood for helping me with this chapter.)
Present Day
Death's door
I continued down the valley to my death the light was getting a bit less Sea of darkness felt as if I was traversing the cosmos when all the stars have died except for one. As I walked I see 12 stars appear in the sky, those starts were there to represent the former team during one of the darkest points of the human race, the Tartarus Guild where the former 12 Demon Gates terrorized the land. I then saw a painting of myself as a young maiden adult, next to me was Anna Heartfilla, my best female friend Lena Marvell, my best male friend Erenjack, the Pope of Zentopia Victor Heartfilla and other people there, surrounding us was the Tartarus Guild and their wicked evil. I went through the painting as if entering a portal and before I knew it, I was watching myself as a young adult again.
Whitestone One, Dragonv
October 31, x389
I began my day waking up to the tranquil sounds of the morning winds. The temperatures were already cold within this time of year and the harvest season was beginning to wrap up but those weren't the only things ripening. Looking at my mirror, my height peaked at 175cm which is fairly tall for women, however looking at my body, it was like looking at a greek goddess. My red hair reached towards my bottom and it was beautiful and glowing, my eyes were a brown color which sometimes had an amethyst glow to them.
My body was the perfect idea of a woman and the perfect ideal for a man for procreation purposes. My Breasts were so massive, they were hard to conceal with clothing less than that of garments meant for morbidly obese women. Just one year ago, i was already an E Cup which was ridiculous enough, Now my boobs morphed in just one year to J Cups or L cups using the Alvarez Numerical system, that's a cup size increase of over 5 Inches. My waist was thin but still fairly proportional to my body with slight muscle definition to it, if i worked out more, i would have feminine abs, as for my ass, it was 10 cm larger and thicker, in fact, my BHW would be 106 cm Bust,70cm waist and, 110 cm hips (46,28,43 Inches) with slightly muscular arms and legs. Next, to Anna, i was often regarded as the most beautiful woman in the world and there were already many men attempting to court me.
After my royal bath, i put on my outfit. I wore my mother's regal white dress with her infamous cleavage Window and her back fully exposed and had nothing covering her breasts underneath her outfit. It was the only outfit i could find that fits me and even then on the chest it was tight given my mother's bust was 3 inches smaller at the cup volume was 2 inches bigger making it feel weirder, she also had a thinner waist which made it feel very tight on my waist, however on my ass, it was slightly loose as my bottom was slightly smaller too. After putting my clothes on which included the white gloves, i had my servants work on my hair. I had my hair combed to the right side of my head with bangs covering near my right eye with two sharp bangs covering nearly my right eye with a braided tuff at the right side of my head near the ear, it was to give me a more regal look, after all, such a hairstyle would be very common amongst my family tree.
I technically came to power 8 years ago after my parents were tragically killed by the Dark Dragon Tribe, an evil organization of Anti Human Dragons who wish to destroy Dragonv and enslave humanity as they had for many Millennia of human existence. My parents died protecting me and the kingdom and dealt a serious blow to King Krauser that has him comatose, it was to buy time until became powerful enough to fully master the Hoshigami No Satsuki, a Holy Sword created from the rarest metal in the world maginum heated with dragon flame quenched in demon blood and blessed by priests of Nearly every major religion in the world, it was one of the few times dragons demons and gods came together for a common cause something that would likely never happen again. Due to the edicts forbidding gods from stepping into earth land.
Since my parent's death, I had to train in order to live up to my parent's power and potential. For 4 years until i was 15, i trained within the Aird deserts of Zen, a small Zenith nation surrounded by Asekrhamni enemies in Middle Earthland adjusting to the rough terrain of the country as a form of training before returning to the kingdom which was falling apart without a strong leader. For 4 years, i fought a Dragon running sex trafficking rings across the continent and devouring humans, i fought a demented Dragon Serial Killer who murdered a whole mining town of dragons, i fought an ex-Dragon navy Sergeant who abaonded Dragon to become a Dragon Pirate raiding the Ishgar sea, i survived an assassination attempt from an assassin dragon who infriated the ranks of Dragonv's army and i had fought an attempt on my life on my own birthday against a Secessionist Dragon and a Chimera experimental Dragon. There has been a little break for me between these events, thankfully things seem to be quieting down for the most part since the great battle of Gabe last year and the attempt by Asekrhamn's armies to take back Gabe over several months back, perhaps i can wind down a bit from the constant warfare going on.
I walked around thinking about the last crazy 8 years of my life which pushed me to the limit every time, every last second I came close to dying, every last second someone close to me came from dying. The war has yet to begin and yet i keep thinking of the close calls. I couldn't fathom in the slightest how much worse my life was going to get at this point.
I came to hear my two guards talking about the recent string of attacks happening within Ishgar, these attacks were small and isolated but it seemed like the doing of the Dark Dragon Tribe.
"I heard that there's been another attack on humans again within Ishgar." One of the guards said to another.
"Those Dark Dragon Tribe dragons are getting bolder and more brazen with their killings." the other guard replied.
"It seems that the Anti Human Dragons are desperately trying to stoke conflict within our borders and our ally nation borders in order to increase Anti Human support amongst Dragons, though this is quite odd, while the dragons within the Alakitasia continent and Amato are not as smart as Ishgarinan Dragons, it makes little sense for them to so small scale isolated attacks, they're usually a lot more brazen and destructive than this." Belserion explained to the guard wondering about the suspicious killings that don't tend to fit the MO of the Dragons.
"Sage Dragon Commander Belserion, you seem to have returned on your journey" one of the guards said to the white scaled dragon.
"I need to talk to Irene, where is she?" Belserion asked the guard.
"She's at the courtyard as usual Commander Belserion" the guard replied.
I was overhearing the conversation not far from my flower garden within the next room, the vast courtyard was easily the size of 700 Acres and was well over 6 Dragon Stories high to the stained glass that gave the indoor plants sunlight, within the massive park able to fit over 10,000 dragons and countless thousands of humans was. There were thousands of plant species within the immense garden that consist of all the flowers of various nations worldwide including palm trees from the tropics. Despite the frigid brutal weathers of Dragonv, the Greenhouse like garden was often powered by a spell that kept many plants in good growing conditions year long. at the center of the garden is a larger statue of the first Queen of Dragon and Belserion actually made to be life-size and in the scale of the two. This was considered the largest garden in the world at its time visited by millions of visitors globally and was my place of gathering.
I was humming the National Anthem of my nation being Wings of Liberty as i checked on the flowers as they were blooming lovely today when Belserion arrived.
"Irene!" Belserion said to be happy to see me.
"Belserion, you returned, judging by your expression something is amiss." I asked him wondering his concern look on his face.
"..., The Dragons of Alatsikia are mobilizing far quicker than I thought they would. The intelligence Vemoniksy gather state that while their leader is still nowhere near conscious, they are mobilizing far faster than we thought possible. We also have reports of unknown deaths isolated across Fiore, Seven Bosco and Ishgal as a whole, I fear there's a growing sect of Anti Dragon humans running around Ishgar that are trying to mobilize forces on our alliance soil." Belserion explained to me wondering about the increasing threat of the Dark Dragon Tribes growth in Ishgar.
"To think they would act so fast, damn them. We can't let those animals take root in our ally nations if i were to assume, Serenity must behind this." I said to my grandpa suspecting our rival nation might be behind these attacks.
"We won't let them take root in Ishgal, we will protect those humans." Belserion replied with confidence that we can prevail at the end.
"Hopefully we can!" I responded with confidence in my tone.
"Irene, you must become stronger, you're almost there but still not enough to fully wield the power of your mother " Belserion said to me giving me the honest truth.
"I will, so what's the next step of training?" I asked my Grandpa.
"You have to fight Altas Flames." Belserion answered.
"Oh, that's all?" I asked him jokingly.
"Without the Homsigikai no Satsuki." Belseiron replied with a stern look on his face, that was nuts, fighting a dragon who can burn magic without a dragon-slaying sword? That was outright suicidal.
"Without it? HOW CAN I WIN AGAINST HIM WITHOUT THAT?" I asked Belserion.
"You're the queen of Dragons, you're supposed to be able to beat a B Class Dragon without your Homsigikai no Satsuki. Your mother was able to save you when you were kidnapped by Capoke without using her sword at all, the Homsigikai no Satsuki is meant to be the last resort of the power you wield" Belsseiron explained to me.
"Still of all dragons, a dragon who i can't even hit without being burned to a crisp?" I said to my Dragon Grandpa confused on how i could even prevail against Altas Flames." You've learned enchantment Magic, you can find a way to win." Belserion replied sternly.
"You really have confidence i can prevail?" I asked him.
"I know you can, after seeing your fight with Motherglare and your recent fight against the Dragon Kings of Gabe and Twelve, you can prevail against Altas Flames even without the Hoshigami no Satsuki. King Rey Fullbuster has arranged the fight already ahead of time, in one week, you will do battle with him, Queen Hilda and King Rangaorkalong with Altas Flames." Belserion explained to me as his word had me in a cold sweat, all of them versus me.
"No fair, i have to fight them and Altas Flames?" I asked not thrilled to fight him
"You will be fighting as a team with Lena, Erenjack and Rena, you won't fight alone." Belserion answered me.
"A week, that's barely preparation time, also i was going to go hang out with Anna today in Fiore so I can be there tomorrow for the All Saints Day Festival where the leaders of Bosco, Seven, Fiore and Garcia were going to be to negotiate a deal for our alliance. I barely have a total of 5 days to prepare." I complained to Beslerion.
"My apologies Irene but the sooner we do this, the sooner we can access where your next level of training should be.
"Right, I'm going to get a bite and rest within the Heartfilla Korzen, I'm guessing I'm going to be in Fiore for at least a week, manage things while I'm gone Belserion" I said to Beslerion as began to head out.
"Very well then Irene." Belserion stated.
After eating i left to Fiore so I can prepare myself for the mock toruemeant a week from now, After my trip to Fiore, i plan to make a b line to the Lockser Clan.
Later on
Norman Village, Fiore
The All Saints Eve holiday within Fiore All Saints Eve was a National Zentopia Holiday in which people celebrate the saints of Zentopia's past and pay tribute to the dead. Adults would give children pastries and sweets while adults gave each other pumpkin pies and had pumpkins outside to keep out the wicked spirits with each pumpkin blessed by a local priest or bishop, eventually, this holiday would be changed to the Holiday known as Halloween.
The holiday was recently created by Victor Heartfilia after the peace deal between the Bei Province tribe, Seven and Fiore in a brief clash last year at the border. The province of Vericona was a small kingdom that was conquered by Seven, Fiore and Bosco that once existed as an independent nation 500 years ago known as the Bel Kingdom based on the legendary Phoenix fire god Bei, the Bel tribe thanks to a deal with Victor Heartfilia are on the verge of an independent kingdom. It was extremely rare for Zentopia to allow a Pagan kingdom that didn't worship Deus to have their land however for what I've heard, the Bei Tribe are very powerful and numerous and were better off allies than enemies , besides wouldn't be the first time the Heartfillas reached out to non Zentopians such as the tragically extinct Nirvirt Tribe.
I saw Anna within a recently built village of Norman, a village built within northern Fiore between Rosemary Village Northwest of town, the distance of the two towns were a mere half an hour carriage ride to each town. Not only was this the first All Saints Day Holiday but it was also the Grand Opening of the world's first Public Magic Library.
Anna stood within a brand new set of robes I wasn't expecting to see her wear or any woman to wear. Anna stood towards me wearing her long white dress, a necklace with Zentopia's symbol and a white cloak with gold accents. On her head, she was wearing a gold-navy white miter which also had Zentopia's Insignia on it. She was wearing the clothes of an Archbishop. A female Archbishop was unprecedented within Zentopian History.
And she was a beauty beyond compare. Her breast were easily two cups my size If i was a J Cup, she was Double J or N Cup by the Alvarez Numerical system, even more, impressive and amazing was her ass, her ass was so huge that under the dress you can see she had plenty of cake. It would take me up until having my first and only child to rival her hip size of 130cm while her boobs were 107cm, her slender waist was even more perfect, her height was pretty average for a woman but her beauty was far from average.
"Happy All Saints Day Eve Anna" I said to Anna I hugged her.
"Glad to see you here again Irene." Anna replied as she hugged me.
"Someone got promoted when i was gone for a year." I said to Anna looking at her gold-navy white miter
"Why thanks, well i had to earn that spot, I guess saving a king from a coup and performing 1,000 miracles would give you some acknowledgment by the elders, especially when Father pressuring them." Anna replied to me as she blushed, she was known for her modesty" So, what brings you here?" Anna asked me.
"I need a break from training, Next week I have a hell of a tag team battle. I have to fight Altas Flames while Lena has to fight Queen Hilda, Erenjack has to fight Rey and Rena has to fight King Ragnarok and I'm not even allowed to use the Homsigikai no Satsuki either." I explained to Anna regarding the harsh training I've been given, i wasn't just fighting Altas Flames but without the use of my sword, fighting a dragon is nigh impossible enough, much less one with a flame body.
"Fighting Altas Flames without the Homsigikai no Satsuki? That virtually is nigh impossible to fight already. Also Dous Flamu? I'm surprised you chose that abounded colosseum as your arena. That coliseum has been abandoned for centuries" Anna explained to me.
"We made arrangements of that within that venue over a few months ago. I was working on the concept of having different Nations settle things with a competitive and friendly environment to release the stress that would lead to wars. After all, ever since adding Gabe to a list of allied nations, we were able to expand our Silk road trade routes faster and easier into Ishgar and that resulted in this stability, we need that stability to stay united against the threat of the Dark Dragon Tribe" i explained to Anna my concept to reduce tension between Nations.
"You mean like some kind of Gladiatorial combat?" Anna asked me concerned about this.
"No, there would be no killing, i say a fighting tournament but I'm still working on the name of the tournament. The Magical blitz-tournament." I replied trying to give my own name for the tournament.
"Maybe you should work on the names!" Anna replied sweating from that." Anyways i send you that carrier pigeon to show you some progress." she said to me as we headed into Strawberry Village.
The village was built from the ground up, roughly 200 houses made up for the village being roughly as large as Rosemary however unlike Rosemary, a large 5 story high lighthouse tower stood at the center of the town where my parent's statues roads were nicely payed over and the town looked affluent enough as the cottage homes were decently constructed, almost more a villa.
"Whoa, it's so beautiful! Amazing how much this town grew in merely a year and a half." i said shocked to see the town thriving so well.
"That's nothing compared to what i have to show you within this Library." Anna replied as she took me indoors.
Anna and I head into the Large library at the center of the town near the town hall when we went deep inside the library. The recently constructed Heartfilia Magic Library she built within Northern Fiore took nearly two years to complete.
The Interior of the library was massive, the interior walls are shaped like a hexagon, with numerous bookshelves at each side arranged in various patterns, holding a vast amount of historic books about every known Magic and all its related topics. The floors are linked with each other with what seem to be bridges, serving as a passageway between sporadic flats in the library.
"Are all those magical books?" i asked her.
"Yep, the intention is to one day create an army of people who can use magic so they can get close to the ways of Zentopia. Imagine a world in which 10% of humans might be able to use magical powers?" Anna explained to me as she was thinking of a far bigger picture.
"I'm surprised, most of the Zenotpian and Florian higher-ups were opposed to the use of the Printing press and especially opposed to having commoners learn magic." i asked Anna noting this was unusual for a kingdom to take apart steps like this.
"My father was a reformer for a reason, Fiore declined because it stagnated in progress whereas Dragonv thanks to your parents was developing more and more as time went on, father wanted to change Zentopia while sticking to its core beliefs so we don't lose out followers to foreign cults like Askerhmanism,Sakyamunism, Damharaism or lord forbid those Pagan cults in the north worshipping Thor and Odin. Thanks to my father's reforms, more followers are coming into the flock of god however the problem remains..well. They're still having trouble accepting me." Anna explained to me why Zentopia has become more and more inclusive.
"Give them time Anna, you're a great follower of your religion. In the future, this would hopefully be the norm.I'm surprised how far you moved up the ranks"I stated to her.
"I don't see that happening anytime soon, much like commoners fully developing magic but in the future, it can. His public Library that i was able to convince father to build would give people access to the ability to read and learn magical spells. Eventually magic would become as easy as breathing to the masses. Hopefully, then the masses would stop looking down on me as a woman in Priesthood." Anna explained to me as it was her idea to try to get acceptance of her title, back in the days of Zentopia women were not allowed priesthood but her father being radically changed the rules as Pope. Had not for Victor Heartfilla's legendary power or his tile performing miracles, he would've been long ousted from the priesthood and burned on the stake for heresy.
"That's a rather bold move on your part to consider building a magical library and giving people an opportunity to rise out of serfdom. Most kingdoms and rulers would fear masses having the ability to use magic, especially bold considering how many hold outs might use it against you and your father for pushing too fast of a change." I said to Anna concerned about her safety.
"I'm hardly worried about that, I have faith that One day there's going to be a whole society under a monarchy that would be able to use magic to protect themselves and help others that would be regulated by a council of mages to prevent the misuse of magic for ill-gotten reasons." Anna replied with a rather naive and idealistic vision of the future, at the time a magical society with commoners was utterly laughable.
"Sounds genius to be honest Anna, you're quite forward thinking to develop the scale of such an ambitious project. However, the problem is this is not likely to happen realistically in our lifetime." I replied with a more preissmetic attitude towards it.
"Don't be so presismsetic Irene, if we start now, we have a fighting chance in the future. This war coming up in the next 7 years is going to be a war of attrition if we can get the number of humans who can fight dragons up to at least 75, we would be able to achieve some progress."Anna said to me with a smile on her face.
"So this is what this is about? Anna, magic can't kill dragons remember?" I said to her looking at her like she is a bit nuts because the idea was nuts.
"No, but it can protect people while dragons battle dragons besides my father can dragons and he's not a dragon." Anna replied noting her father's power.
"That's a completely different story, your father is amongst the most powerful humans alive, no one but my mother and father are stronger than him, even the Dreyar family doesn't compare to his strength." I said to her noting the difference in power between him and even the might Dreyar Clan.
"Yeah, but what if get people motivated to get to his level, what if we had 10 dads or even 100? It might be a small number in the grand scheme of things but considering the odds, it's better than doing nothing isn't it?" Anna stated being overly idealistic in her ambitions.
"You have a point, still we only have an estimated 7 years before the Dragon War is supposed to happen, how on earth are we going to hope to achieve prodigies in such a short time,especially when it takes elites and nobles a full decade of training and schooling to get them to become powerful wizards." I asked her wondering how such a task could even be achieved.
"That's why we have you for Irene. Your tournament idea could inspire more people to fight to get stronger, it might make a huge difference in the outcome of the war but it can give us some way to pull through, not to mention it can get some dragons who have reservations about fighting a war to join our side." Anna said to me with her idealistic smile.
"You really thought this through didn't you?" I asked her.
"It was nothing. I always dreamed of being a scholar and writing books about various magical spells. Humanity has advanced during countless centuries and survived due to the knowledge passed down by others." Anna said to me explaining to me her life goals all these years while blushing.
"First Female Archbishop and now first female Scholar feels like change is occurring much faster than I thought." I replied to her as I hugged her." So how's progress on the One Magic?" I asked her.
"I was unable to find the One Magic during my adventures and I'm still missing several notable keys. So far I'm missing the Pieces and Libra Spirit keys." Anna answered as it dawned upon me, she has 10 out of 12 keys, a completely unprecedented number of Golden keys at once.
"10 Golden Celestial Spirits? That's unheard of. How did you get so many?" I asked her shocked to learn she got 10 out of 12.
"Wasn't easy, thankfully Crux helped me find the others. Most of them were missing and simply scattered to different parts of the world. I found Aires Key within a Bazaar within subtropical country of Raina which is part of the Kingdom of Serenity, I found Gemini's key within the middle of the forests within the Joya Forest within the Iceberg Kingdom, i then found Scorpio's key within the rainforest town of Varargs which was being used by a bandit gang for malicious purposes,i defeated the owner of the key and then i found Capaition Key, it was the hardest one to obtain." Anna explained to me.
"How hard was it?" i asked her.
"One of the most perilous treks within my life hard. " she answered as she thinks of her past.
Several Months ago
I was within the royal Kingdom of Bosco, Bosco has been dealing with several issues with its neighborhood Kingdom Iceberg ever since East Bosco declared itself part of the Iceberg Kingdom last year. Believing that Bosco has kept the independence movement of Stella down for centuries, they decided to negotiate with Iceberg instead and agreed to be part of the temporality. It surprised me Eastern Bosco would ally with a Kingdom that was occupying their lands and causing turmoil with their lands.
I went to the Royal Palace of Delurve within Parish when i talked to the king. The king being Jean Francis the Third, a rather thin, effeminate man with long curly brown hair, i strongly suspected he was a deviant, a degenerate hetern who sinned but maintaining professionalism, i kept my thoughts to myself.
" You want us to do what? Make peace with those moronic idiots who made a pact with those godless heteren bastards in the north?" King Francis said with an effeminate Boscoan accent.
"They're still your nation and people, besides we don't need an unnecessary war at the moment. Our trade routes have been the most stable in the last 8 centuries, the people of East Bosco have sought out the Icebergians because your country has nelegited that region for decades, with our trade routes and economic prosperity, we can get the unification of West and East Bosco and prevent a civil war."I explained to the Bosocan king.
Little did I know was that destiny was to come forth as at that moment, the Kings own Minster, Minster Jean Caudle Zeodo would attempt a coup against the king of Bosco. But it was no ordinary coup, the minstrel was very powerful, more so than any dragon we fought previously.
"You make a fair argument, my question is why isn't the Pope here himself to tell me this? Why send a woman to do a man's job?" Francis asked me with his rude questions.
"That's not important but if you wonder what father is up to, he's been defusing conflict with the Beians who want to invade your borders and form their own kingdom now do we have a deal or not?" I asked him growing impatient with his indecision I then saw a spearheading towards him.
"WATCH OUT!" I shouted as I tackled the king down as the spear hits the throne, had i not tackled the king down that instant, he would've ended up dead.
Before I knew it 10 Iceberg Knight commanders appeared, each of them donning typical Viking clothing with horned helmets, wooden shields.
"Get to safety King Francis, it seems like they've already invaded." i said to the king.
"Where's my Royal guard, how did they break into my castle so easily?" Francis asked cowering hiding behind me.
"I think they were just taken down off guard, something isn't right here?" I said to the king as I summoned Hologrium to protect the king from harm.
It was me against 10 powerful Knights that were capable of defeating powerful elite knights. I was forced to do battle against the Vikings. Losing isn't an option against them, especially given what i heard happens to Zentopian Clergymen in their hands much less a pure maiden under a cloth.
"Open Gate of the Bull" i chanted as i summoned Tartarus.
"Mooo! Looks like my beautiful maiden summoned me, perhaps i get to see some boobies and give me a smooch!" Taurus mooed with his usual lewd perversion.
"Do I need to tell father about your lewdness again Taurus?" I scolded him.
"Oh come on, daddy doesn't need to know." Taurus stated trying to convince me.
"We're not even the same species, uggh, stop your heathen advancements on me, i don't do sex before marriage. Now do something about these guys before I lose my maidenhood ``I replied coldly as he felt rejected but then felt enraged as he saw the men leering at me.
"NO ONE TAKES LADY ANNA'S MAIDENHOOD BUT ME!" Taurus roared as he goes on a rampage knocking around the 10 Icerbgrian Viking Knights who despite their size and power still very little of a chance against a rampaging bull-like Taurus. In under a minute, Taurus was able to beat all 10 of them but he was definitely worn out.
"Not bad for a woman, said a mysterious voice who appeared out of nowhere. "To think you can take 10 elite Icebergrain Knights on your own and process 9 Keys on your own, you're quite the prodigy. Those men aren't easy to control in the slightest, especially given each can fight on par with a B class Dragon." the man said revealing himself to me, he was an elderly man with curly brown hair.
"Minster Jean Caudle Zeodo, how can betray me? As he says" Hologrium said quoting the king's words.
"Simple, for too long you were too sympathetic and weak to the plight of those mongrels within Eastern Bosco, you let those moral degenerates run rampant in that part of the kingdom while us god-fearing Zentopians in West Bosco live in fear of the Viking pagans next to our borders, no more. We will not allow East Bosco to become Stella and weaken our kingdom to invasion of these Icebergian Viking savages, so i staged a assassination of the king so I can kill him, frame the Icbergians and justify the expansion of this kingdom so I can destroy the Kingdom of Iceberg and wage war against those Vikings and conquer the Invsaianain Peninsula, ending the countless raids and pillagings to our lands once and for all and i would rule an empire rivaling Dragonv and Serenity." Jean explained to me of his coup attempt against the current King of Bosco.
"And you're admitting this why? All you did was make it an open and shut case when we kill you and burn you on the stake." I asked him wondering why he was so brazen about this.
"Simple, i can control human beings, hence why I don't worry about being killed, with my developed lifelong magic, Human Subordination Magic. Magic developed to control humans. The downside of this is that it merged me with a spirit I gained " Jean explained to me as he revealed he was hiding his true form, the spirit of Capricorn he merged with.
Capricorn was a tall goat-man wearing a red long cape with black knight armor-wearing Armored Gauntlets. He stood over me."I don't need to be discreet about my actions because soon you're
going to be my puppet. In fact, not only would you make a fine collection to the warriors I've captured, I will use you as ransom so Fiore would force to give me Billions of Jewels in exchange for your safety and I will use that to capture your father and rule a vast empire" Jean laughed as he was within his Capricorn form.
"As if I would let you capture me!" I replied as I charged up my power." Holy Light Beam" I shouted as I shot a massive blast towards him.
'Huma Raise" Jean countered as he negated the blast and had me under his control
"What's going on?" I shouted as I felt my body under control.
"I spent my years developing the perfect method of killing humans discreetly, this magic will make me a ruler, now then kill the king." Jean laughed as I was being forced to aim a blast towards the king.
"My arm is moving on its own!" I shouted as I tried to resist the magic.
"With Human Subordination Magic, I will use you to kill the king and spark a war between Bosco and Fiore which would last for decades and I will eventually have a whole army that would take over the entire world." Jean laughed as i tried to resist his control, the blast was forming in my army against my will.
"RUN!" I shouted at the king but the king was under control too.
"I can't move my body."The king shouted as he was paralyzed by the spell.
"Now time for me to take power!" Jean laughed only to see a light dash at him and slash his shoulder. In the nick of time, my knight and shining armor Loki appeared.
"It's been too long master Capricorn, to think you've been reduced to merely a puppet of this twisted black-hearted human." Loki said to Jean as he was able to briefly break me and the king out of the spell.
'Loki!" I said to him.
"Get yourself and the king out of the castle, his magical power can turn human within a 100-acre radius into his slave. " Loki shouted at me.
"Right !" I replied as I held the king's hand.
I did as I was told and ran out the massive Palace which in itself stood at over 300 meters high and 500 meters wide and long to escape the Usper's unique magic. All i saw at the distance was explosions as parts of the castle crumbled from the blows of the two warriors. After a while of explosions I saw Capricorn on the rooftop armed with a massive broadsword clashing with Loki's standard issue Claymore sword and shield however the battle didn't go the way we were expecting, Loki struck down Cparcion with all his might only for the clever goat mage to take him over last minute and abandon his weakened spirit shell.
With a single leap, he leaped towards the town square where me and the king was at.
"No it can't be" I said to him.
"Now with this younger spirits body, my potential has increased greatly, in fact with all those celestial spirits, of yours I would have infinite bodies to switch out." Jean smiled evilly as he came at me however he was being stopped by Loki's thoughtS"You're not going to hurt my Princess." Loki said trying to use the last of his will to break out, it was then it struck me what needed to be done.
"Open Gate of the Ram Key ." I chanted as i summoned Loki's closest friend Aires.
Aires was a female spirit who resembles a young woman with pink hair, brown eyes and a pair of twisted horns on her head. She wore a nice long modest dress that covered her chest up to her next with long sleeves that were nice and white and had white and fluffy wool tufts. She wielded a hammer made out of her pink wool.
"Aires?" Loki asked as his thoughts were prevailing over him.
"Snap out of it Loki, you're stronger than this!" Aires said to him as she tried to block is attack as Jean tried to take over Loki.
"He's part of me you wretch !" Jean shouted as he blocked a punch from Aires.
I watched as Loki and Aries clashed attacks with each other, normally Loki would have no problem prevailing over someone as weak as Aires however between being exhausted from his fight with Capricorn and his emotional state of not wanting to wound Aries gave Aires the edge,another edge was Ares ability to absorb magic via Wool magic, making attacks weaker by making the attacker more relaxed and comfortable, weakening the muscles and reducing their magical attack power, Aires was by far the most powerful shield i weiled with Loki being my most powerful sword.
Eventually, Loki was worn out however he smirked.
"Ha, a clever trick, having this little wretch drain my magical power, in fact, that would be the perfect Vessel for my new body." Loki smiled as Jean exited out his body however before he can Loki grabbed his ethereal form." Not on your life!" Loki said to him as he punched the spirit in the face.
"URRGH!" Jean shouted as he was damaged, he then saw me charge up my attack.
"Uno Materia!" I chanted as I hit him with 88 Light spheres which destroy his ghost-like body, vaporizing him to ashes.
Present day
"Whoa, so you killed him? I didn't know you had it in you" I asked her
"He was already dead, i merely purified an evil spirit! The drawback of the magic he used is that because he spent so much time as a Celestial Spirit, he ended up dying from Magic is used to take control of anything else aside from a human, it ends up fusing the user with their target instead, not being able to undo it unless he switched into another artificial body, because of this, Minster Jean Caudle Zeodom died many years ago. Ironic, he spent over 3 decades perfecting the perfect spell for a ruler and survived nearly 2 decades within Capricorn.' Anna explained to me.
"That magic is far too dangerous for humans to use." I said to her.
"Hence we sealed them within scrolls where no mage could ever find them. If Magic like Human Subordination Magic is ever made public knowledge, this could bring turmoil and unrest to nations." Ana explained to me.
"So how did you cover up the takeover of the Icbergian Vikings?" I asked her.
"We had to bribe them with more silver and were forced to allow Iceberg to occupy Eastern Bosco, it was a heavy price to pay to cover up the existence of Human Subordination Magic." Anna explained to me explaining how the talks failed.
"That's a terrible price to pay, so you failed at Unification of the Bosco country?" I asked her.
"We didn't fully fail, we prevented a civil war that much we did, the problem is that Eastern Bosco is now in the hands of those Pagans, I fear for the Zentopians under their control. I heard of the terrible things Vikings do to Zenotpians ." Anna said to me in a solemn tone fearing what's happening to her fellow Zentopians.
"Don't worry Anna, I will negotiate with Bosco and East Bosco along with Iceberg to fall under our protection, hence they can't harm the Zentopains without answering to Dragonv. With the Insvanian Peninsula Vikings under our control, they would keep the Iceberg Vikings under control, hopefully, we can use that leverage to convince the Boscan Monarchs to allow East Bosco to be independent in duty to your heroism of saving the king." I explained to Anna my idea to possibly avoid a regional war within the country.
'You would do that?" Anna asked me.
"We're allied nations, under the charter of Dragonv Article 167, the decree states that we must protect all ally nations under our control. Besides the last thing I need is a regional conflict before the Dragon War. While this didn't go the way you planned, at least you saved the whole kingdom and gained a new key? Guess that makes us both." I asked her.
"You two huh?" Anna asked me surprised by my statement.
"It was a bit earlier this year within the Kingdom of Twelve." I answered.
"I see, you were directly involved with stopping the coup within that they're not allied with Dragonv so why save them" Anna stated impressed.
"it was back during the spring and allow me to explain!" I replied as i went into flashback mode.
Several Months ago
Over a year has passed since I fended off an attack from within My Country. Gabe has become our newest country under our protection. Naturally being originally a Askerhmani nation, many of the hardcore religious believers opposed a queen occupying their lands and started conflicts within the country however my liberation of the Dark Dragon Tribe spawned the birth of a new sect of the faith, a very small subsect faction but a promising one known as Keihatsu ( Japanese for Enlightenment), a religion that mixed the Askerhmani faith with with the more advanced values of Dragonv such as gender equality and independent thinking, to think just my mere presence inspired a religious reform.
Present Day
"A religious movement based on your exploits? Not surprising given you did the impossible and completely untied Gabe under Dragonv but a whole religion centered almost on you?" Anna said to me.
"Well not entirely me, i was said to be the prophet comparable to the great Prophet of Askerhman by the more open-minded individuals of the religion and considered to be the Great , needless to say the liberation of Gabe and increased economic prosperity was causing effects on even bordering nations to Gabe such as the Gupta Kingdom and the Twelve Kingdom, changes that neither country liked. WHich lead to events down the line." I explained to Anna.
Several Months ago
I was visiting the capital of Gabe known as Ahmad, a massive city almost the size of Crocus, the ancient city has been there for countries, it was a beautiful ancient city between dry desert mountains and a sandy valley. An elderly Guru who was native to Gupta who moved to Ahmad 30 years ago to form his new religion Keihatsu was building the first ever Keihatsu Temple within the countries history. This was coming together with the days of the summit.
The Kingdom of Gabe due to the trade routes and economics was slowly reforming in culture as they were adapting Culture from Fiore and Dragonv. It wasn't easy, we were often sent Dragonviain to put down Aksehrmani insurgents within the country who resisted the changes and to defend the caravans from raiding Khangorain bandits but we secured the trade routes.
The opening up of trade routes with Gabe allowed for easier access to trade routes within Gupta and Cina. For centuries, Ishgar, especially Fiore thrived on the trade routes, especially from the silk and spice trade that came from Gupta and Cina for centuries. a brief cultural and economic was born, all thanks to my rule, had the peace last longer, we could've achieved global stability in 20 to 30 years.
Dragnov seems to be stabilized, for the time being, having crime come to an all-time low since the inception of My mother. Fiore would also bloom during this time period however this was merely a temporary peace.
"So this religion you're making, this is a mixture of two religious beliefs?" I asked the elderly Guru.
"Correct Queen of Dragons, it combines the elements of Askehramnism and Damharaism and reforms both religions to the growing modern values of Dragonv. In our religion, all people are equal before a god who judges us by Karma, we adopted Dragonv's values of equality and accept female Gurus and warriors." the Guru explained to me about the religion he was practicing.
It was then i saw Lena carry what appears to be a heavily injured young man with Grandeeney carrying the two of them to safety.
"The Prince of Twelve? What's he doing here? Why is he heavily injured." i asked them.
"I was training within the desert near the kingdom of Twelve when i saw this young man, he barely escaped from his kingdom on horseback, thankfully Grandeeney wasn't too far behind my training, we were able to treat him for emergency aid in time." Lena explained to me about the situation.
"What's going on here? Why is Jafal Ramal here." I asked Lena.
"That's one of my students of the arts, they must've found out that he was importing my teachings to their country." the guru said to me.
"We have even worse news, the ancient kingdom of Twelve and the ancient kingdom of Gabe are amassing a major force into Gabe as we speak, hence why we rushed here." Jafal explained to us about the impending invasion.
'Impossible, those kingdoms hate each other's guts. The Twelve Dispsnces of Askerhm and the Orthodox Church Of Askerhman both been at war for over 1,000 years over the issues of their Prophet's teachings. WHy would they ally together?" the young man recovered and told me why.
"The Ayatollahs and Sultans all came together to declare war against Gabe, i tried to stop them stating that it's suicide to challenge the Dragonv Empire and we should accept the change but the elders wouldn't listen, i tried to stop their insane invasion but i was heavily wounded by the Dragon Kings of the country Zafar of Twelve and King Khano of Gabe, they're invading with at least 100,000 forces each, one is invading from the Western border and the other is invading via fleet from the Gulf of Twelve.
"Grandeeney, assemble the Dragon protection Squad and Dragonv's army, we won't them pass." I commanded Grandeeney as we prepared to defend the nation.
"It would take too long to assemble the entire army to fend off against them, i can get Igneel and the others here but at best we have only 290 soldiers stationed in the country currently, counting the Dragon Protection Squad, Belserion and myself along with you your majesty, that's less than 300 people." Grandeeney explained to me.
"Then we have to make do with it." I replied.
I traveled to the central side of the country where i saw the forces amass themselves with Igneel and the rest. 100,000 of the Twelver forces and 100,000 Gaibean forces coming from 100 warships and flying on the backs of 100 dragons. The Twelvers were riding on 100 dragons with over 10,000 horseback cavalry units and 1,000 war elephants with over 500 orges controlled by monster tamer magic.
"That's a lot of forces!" I said to them.
"How many people can you enhance currently my queen?" Grandeeney asked me.
"To be honest, only 7, I've been busy working on swordsmanship and brute strength, I've yet to master Enchantment magic on the same level as my father." I answered honestly.
"Let me deal with echanting the ground troops and let us take on the Dragon forces, worry about the human Commanders and Dragon Kings, we trust you to deal with them on your own. Igneel, Metalicana, protect my flank, I'm going to cast that spell." Grandeeney said to everyone as she prepared her spell.
"You're going to use that spell?" Ingeel asked her.
"We're outnumbered 1,000 to 1, it's the only way to minimize casualties. The rest of you, take out the advancing dragons" Grandeeney stated.
"Very well then." I replied as I prepared to deal with them myself.
As cued in Grandeeney enchanted the entire human forces to be 10 times stronger, faster and tougher than an average human using the Berserker Enchantment, it also allowed them to shrug fatal wounds however they were very unruly and had lost reason, regardless, it helped turn the overwhelming numbers disadvantage against us into a plus. In mere minutes, the superstrong, super fast berserkers managed to defeat 3,000 forces with ease and forced the attacking armies on the defensive.
As for myself, i dashed towards the Dragon Kings and their human leader's miles away from my position. Preferring to use my hand to hand against these grunts, i managed to punch and incapacitate 100 of them before they can blink. One of the ogres swings his club trying to crush me he slams his club The ogre lets out a howl as he grips what used to be his right arm as a bloody stump is left as I stand there with my sword looking on. The ogre shouts something before picking up his severed arm with the club still in its grip and slams his club into ground missing I jump off his, club and run up his arm switch my sword, to my left hand and deliver a right hook, as my fist hits his head I hear I loud crack as his jaw shattered sending bits of bone and tooth raining down into the enemies below. The force of, my punch is so strong the ogre was sent flying a good thirty feet through the air landing on those unfortunate that happens to be standing there.
50,000 archers from the east and west fired thousands of arrows that blocked out the sun however they appeared to be moving at such slow speeds to me, i was able to slash each individual arrow ,sicling it in half, all within a single training in the last year made me so fast that Lightning appeared slow to me and i can see Lightning about to hit the ground merely inches before it does.
I then see 10 War elephants, each the size of a large house charge toward me I grip my sword and run toward them as I near the first elephant I jump dividing wind I shout as a send a wave of air that cleaved the elephant in half as I land I ducked to avoid the tusks of another one before delivering an uppercut that throws its head upward . Another one came to charge at me but i severed its neck with a swipe of my sword, dowsing the sand with a spray of blood. Turning my attention toward the other elephants who stopped when they see the corpses of their brethren, I ran forward and kicked one in the face snapping one of its tusks off. I fell back to the ground as i saw a massive foot about to crush me which i span away to avoid a stomp and then severed the leg.
I brought my sword down cutting its body in half before a trunk slams into my midsection knocking me down and knocking my sword out of my hand. Thankfully the sand cushioned my fall so I can get back up, it was just me and my bare hands against an army of war elephants as i assumed my fighting stance looking over toward the elephant charging towards me I look for anything that could be used as a weapon.
I notice one of the broken tusks from before but before I can get it, another war elephant barrels towards me trying to crush me in retaliation of it's fallen. I ran forward to as it slammed its trunk into the ground. I jumped evading the attack and ran up its trunk and jump over its body. I land and keep running towards the tusk. I then ripped out it's a tusk and used it as a makeshift spear as i stabbed one elephant and then ran towards the other beasts. Then i went close as i slammed the tusk into the ground and used it as a pole vault.
I got above the elephant with one hand on the bottom of, the tusk I shove it through its head killing it instantly. I glared at the last two before picking up the spear and chucking it with everything I have. It pierced the two creatures, before hitting a nearby rock exploding into a shower of, rock and bone. I paint lightly before picking up my sword ready to fight more invaders.
The combined speed and power of myself made short work of the average human mage fighters, even some who attempted to use forbidden Black Magic Like Law to self destruct killing me along with bombs, but thanks to Deus Corona and Armor spells, they're attacks were in vain. The spells also protected my white dress from the messy bloodstains.
"She's decimating our forces with ease, what the hell is she? How can a woman be this powerful?" one of the commanders shouted baffled at seeing a woman so powerful.
"She's no mere woman, she's the dreaded Queen of Dragons, the spawn of Satan herself."Another commander replied.
It then came down to several human commanders along with the two dragons. One of them was a middle-aged man wearing a Turban with brown skin wearing typical Gabiean desert gear, his name was general Ardain Kareem, the dark wizard of Gabe, the second man was a fairy huge man who was a hulking mass of muscle who wore the Jerichoian Keffiyeh with it's black and white patterns over his eyes and had long hair, he was known as Samson of Bethlehem, a Juggernaut known for his raw strength , the third commander was elderly Priest known as Iman Arok wearing the teal green colors symbolizing the color of his flag Twelve within is priest robes and a Mitre headgear common amongst Priests and Imams in Zentopia and Asekrhman. Last but not least was the King Damascus Stinger, the most feared mage of Middle Earthland,known as the Mad Titan of Gohra, he was a middle-aged king who recently deposed of his brother, the previous ruling king and began to mobilize an invasion of Zen again, he was feared by Giants and even Dragons.
"Explain your movies, why are you guys here? Why risk a war with Dragonv, this isn't a war you can win nor the time you can win it." I asked the 4 Commanders.
"We've been issued a Fatwa to take you and your kingdom out, even if we can't prevail against Dragonv, if we kill the Queen of Dragons before she fully matures, we don't have to deal with a woman occupying our holy lands."one commander said to me.
"You infidel country poses a threat to our religious traditions. Your blasphemous country might've poisoned Zentopia and had them become heretics and degenerates but we won't stand for your values imposed on us." another commander replied.
"Besides, the Dark Dragon Tribe made a great deal with us to take you out before you declare Gabe an ally Nation in exchange of a Mansions worth of gold and silver, so who can resist wanting to get rid of a nation who's been a thorn on our side for centuries."the third commander explained his motivations to end me.
"We also want to destroy Zen, that nation with its filthy Zeniths are upfront to the purity of our lands. We will destroy you, then kill the people who align with that false god and kill everyone in Zen. Asekrhman has deemed the people of those lands to be unholy and must be purged in the name of Asekrhamn" the Fourth Commander replied.
I was angry, they were threatening to kill innocent people, innocent people who were under their control for centuries and now threatening my family.
"Like that's happening! Your terror ends here!" I replied furiously.
"Give it up, Lord Zafar and Lord Khano are easily as powerful as the dragon you barely defeated a year ago, combined with 3 of the strongest generals of Middle Earth Land and a King, you can't win, you might've beaten those worthless flies for people, but we stand tall." one of the commanders laughed.
"Unforgivable, throwing lives needlessly like that, what kind of fends are you?" I shouted at them.
"Doesn't matter, what matters is that each of us are powerful enough to match the Great King of Zen himself and our King here is powerful enough to kill him in one hit. Now then submit to us and your kingdom and we will make your death quick and painless" the commanders Jerred as they laughed at me.
"As if, bring it !" I replied back to them.
The first one to charge at me was Samson, he swung at me with such strength that his punches generated sandstorms which blew back his own men i, of course, was able to block his punch with an open palm, then came Commander Kareem who shot dark blast at me but I leaped out of the way to evade his attack.
"Not bad but try this! Sand Bomber Punch!" Samson laughed as he goes to punch me with his punch generating a massive explosion of sand, however, i enchanted myself with Armor and cross my arms to tank his punch even with my armor my arms, i felt like the punch nearly shattered my bone. His sand bomber punch was no laughing matter as the force pushed back 5 meters away however i felt far worse.
"Is that all you got?" i smirked.
"Arrogant whore!" he shouted as he threw another bomber punch however I used my right palm to block his punch and then slammed my elbow into his face, hearing a satisfying crunch as I broke his nose and then grabbed his forearm with my left hand and slam my right knee in to his stomach rupturing several organs and finishing off with a hook that shatters his out the brute.
"Impossible, she defeated Samson so easily she even survived his sand bomber, it's on par with a great sandstorm ...How is she this strong?" Kareem said in fear.
"Simple, don't mess with Dragonv." i replied to him before taking my stance. I took 2 scimitars from downed enemies and focused on the man in front of me."You're next."
"I say, don't look down on me " Kareem shouted before launching an assault due to the damage to my arms fighting Samson I can barely block as his swords knocked me in several places drawing small amounts of blood."Your blood is delicious" Kareem says as he licks it off his blade" I can't wait to take, my time with you, back at my palace, teach you what women should do".he says with a crazed look on his face.
"Not on your life little,man." I replied to the psycho as I readied for his next charge. He swung his blade towards me but i easily sidestepped his attack and blow and blocked his attack before cutting him across the midsection, bringing him to his knees before he can react.
I barely have time to register before a beam is shot at me. I managed to dodge it but just barely.
"Not bad queen of dragons but let's see you if you can Handle this" one of the commanders said to me as he shot several beams towards me. I manage to block most of, them with my swords but a few manage to graze me.
"Urrgh!" I grunted shrugged off the grazed wounds. I then charged towards him with my scimitars at the Iman but before i can touch him he erected a Barrier snapping them, i jump back as several lasers nearly connected with me.
"Your sword is nothing to my barrier.."Iman Arok laughed mocking me.
"Let's see how your barriers handle this." i replied as i redrew my actual blade so fast that it shattered the barrier with ease and let a small wound on the Iman's right shoulder.
"Ohh not bad buts lee how you, Handle this." Iman Arok shouted as he shot a massive blast towards me which he then summoned another barrier to shield himself, an attack of that intensity could seriously damage the battlefield and kill many , i was able to block the attack and deflect it into the sky and then went for the counter-attack slamming the sword covering the entire battlefield.
"I have to think of a way around his defense...I got it." i said to myself as i took my sword as he charged up more power in his attack.
"I got you now! Prism Beam!" the Iman chanted as he charged up his attack from his barrier.
I drew my sword back into its sheath and released into the ground kicking up sand covering the battlefield.
"This sand won't save you!"Iman said to me before firing his attack creating a large blast with such intense heat that the sand cloud turned into many shards of falling glass however he then saw me in front of him "What?" he said shocked as i took an iaido stance with my left foot forward and drew my sword at such speed that it created a pressure wave that shattered his barriers and cut all the shards of glass, producing a gash across the Iman's body knocking him out instantly.
Then came the most feared commander, he was serious and ready to fight me.
"To get so far against us, I'm impressed, hence why i won't hold back. Time to seal you into the void of the devil!. Forbidden Spell of Askerhman: Devils Void"King Damascus Stinger chanted as he summoned a massive amount of power, such power was enough to destroy a whole country.
"Are you insane, you kill everyone, even yourself if you do that." I said to him worried that he was going to kill everyone as well as himself.
"I don't care, as long as you die to!" Damascus chanted as he formed a massive swirling mass of dark magic between his palms which was accclrearting the air around him at unfathomable speeds beyond any force of nature's able of moving with the mass of a small mountain It's no wonder he was the most feared mage of Middle Earthland, he was living up to the title " Mad Titan of Gohra". I had to act fast before he killed millions of innocent people.
The spell Devils Void goes by a different name today, the Blackhole, back then we knew nothing about what a black hole was, what we know though it seemed like a spell from the devil itself. The actual Blackhole was less than what can be seen within a modern Microscope yet despite being impossible for the human eye to see, it had the mass of a Pyramid. Back then, no one knew they were generating blackholes the size of an atomic nucleus, however, what we knew is that the dark energy swirling at the man's hands was converting Etherrano into an immeasurably small point to the point it looked like a condensed Hurricane of black magic.
I jump towards the black hole as it was expanding. I collided my sword with it with the sword struggling to hold back against it, it was like a whole country was being lunged at me. My body felt like it was being pulled towards it, i, however, exerted my power and slashed it, slashing the spell in half and slashing the Mad Titan of Gohra down to his knees. It was too close for comfort, the pressure of that spell was worse than the bottom of the Isghar sea.
"I lost!" Stinger said to me as he was bleeding from the chest.
"Retreat now and i won't consider this an act of war against Dragonv." I replied to him.
"You fool, you Dragonviains live in such a delusional world in which everyone is equal. Such a world would never happen. Your dream of a world of peace where everyone is equal will never come true as long as there are people there will be suffering it's in are nature to be envious of those above up look down on those below and cut down the ones beside us... " Damascus said to me.
"I fight for justice, as long as Dragonv exist, justice will exst." I replied to him as I readied myself for the real threat, the two dragons really in command.
"Not bad human queen of dragons, you were able to defeat 100,000 soldiers by yourself now prepare to deal with us both." One of the dragon commanders said to me, i was done holding back.
"I won't hold back!" I replied as i was fighting against two A-Rank Dragons who were the kings of two of the most powerful countries of the Middle Earthland at the same time, i couldn't fail now.
"Now time to get serious human, you can't beat us" Zafar laughed as with a spell he created a sandstorm that covered the battlefield, the visibility was small, I could barely see the Red Scaled Dragon as he disappeared nor the Blue Scale Dragon of Gabe.
I barely evaded Zafar's slash from below as he rose up from the sand almost hitting me.
"Blade Magic, how's that possible? Dragons can't use more than one element?" I asked them surprised to see them using more than one element.
"We've allied our countries with the Dark Dragon Tribe and as a reward, we're given Hybrid powers," Khano smirked as he shot a light blast despite being a water dragon towards me which i barely evaded.
I struggled to fight them within the sandstorm as they shot Dragon Roars with their mixture of elements at me, thankfully my reflexes increased to the point I can evade their attacks, each of them were several times the power of Motherglare, not surprising given they were already considered A Rank and are considered candidates for the rank of dragon king of their respective elements.
"Blade Storm" the red dragon shouted summing a sandstorm full of razor-sharp sand at me, I cut through the sand and change towards, the dragons.
The red dragon took a swipe at me but I duck under his claw before delivering an uppercut into a back kick catching him on the jaw knocking him back before landing, I sidestep to dodge a punch from the blue dragon before grabbing its arm and throwing him into the other dragon knocking them down.
"Dividing Mountain" I shouted as i swung my sword but they manage to dodge before they circle me the red dragon kicks up a sandstorm before they both charge me the sandstorm reduces my vision to a few feet.
The blue dragon fire a blast of light puncturing my leg.
"GRRACK!" i grunted in pain trying to avoid collapsing on the ground, but I don't have time to worry about as the red dragon slams his fist into me throwing me across the desert before slamming into the ground. I got up and wipe, the blood from my mouth, " Is that all you got?".
The blue dragon rushed towards me, however, i dropped into a partial crouch stance and held the hit of my sword with my left hand slightly above my head and swung down slashing the dragon across the chest causing blood to rain on the sands.
" GRRACK!" the blue dragon roared as he shrugged off the slash and attempts to go to punch me but i caught his massive fist and lifted him off the ground and with my might, I manage to flip him over and slammed him to the ground.
"You've done well to get this far queen of dragons !" Zaraf said to me as he was ready to battle me.
"I know this is hardly because of your devotion to a human god, tell me the real reason you two attacked our kingdom." I asked them.
"You see, you foolish humans, we joined the Dark Dragon Tribe so we can finally destroy Dragonv, the nation that has stopped our own expansion into Ishgal. The final straw for us was you annex Gabe and encouraging the spread of that perversion of our religion. You have us as low as siding with those dreadful in Serenity."Zaraf explained to me not happened about that.
"So you guys formed a pact against Dragonv huh?" I asked the dragons.
" That's right, even if you kill us here, we have plenty of people way stronger than ourselves that currently occupy the land, you can't hope to defeat the growing sympathy towards the Dark Dragon Tribe!" Zaraf laughed.
"We'll see about that " I replied as i was ready to resume fighting
"Sea of Blades !" Zaraf shouted as hundreds of swords erupt out of the ground, I cut one down but it reforms.
I jumped into the air to avoid the swords coming out the ground and evaded with mid-air sidestep as blades were flying towards me. The blades were being propelled towards me with the winds fling them at me.
"Damn!" i said to myself as i barely evaded 3 large blades at me. I then extended my sword and uses it as a used it was a makeshift pole vault to get above the sea of swords.
" Sand Dragons Roar!" Zaraf chanted as he shot a massive Dragon Roar of sand towards me. I used my arms to protect my face as the sand shreds my arms and clothes as the force blew me into the air.
I realized i was thousands of feet in the air pummeling rapidly towards a sea of blades, if i fell from that height on those, i was a dead woman. However, i calmed myself and I took out my sword and used my secondary blade.
"Rip, Hoshigami No Satsuki Hachidori Katana" i chanted using the feather-like sword, i was able to not only slow down my descent but also fly towards Zafar.
"Hybrid Sand Blade Dragon Roar." Zaraf countered as he fired a combined blast at me combining the intense winds of a sandstorm with his blades.
"Hachidori Katana:Wakeru Yama Tsubasa (ハチドリの刀分ける 山翼 Japanese for Humming Bird Sword: Dividing Mountain Wing )" I chanted as i closed my eyes and put it in my sheath and as i was going to be hit with the dragon roar, drew it out at the right time. ,
I was able to cut straight through the dragon roar, dividing it in half as the two halves narrowly missed me as i landed with a heavy thud as Zafar landed on his back flailing wildly as he grips his stump were his right arm was and left a large gash across his chest I approached him slowly however Khano appears out of nowhere to blindside me.
"Water Dragon Crushing Claw."Khano chanted as he lunged towards me with his right claw, however. I manage to jump over the attack before impaling his hand with my sword. I spun on the Handle picking up momentum before kicking him in the jaw knocking out some of his teeth and shattering jaw knocking him out. I had defeated both dragons.
"Finish us now and you have a reignition of a war...A war you can't win at your current level."Khan laughed.
"If so, then I won't kill you, but I will make sure the other dragons know, what happens you would go as a warning of what Dragonv is capable of and think twice before invading Gabe again." I replied to them, as i served Khano's left arm, and slash out Zafar's right eye, just serve as a warning to any of the Asekrhamni nations of attempting another invasion on Dragonvian terrortiy,
After a full day of fighting, Gabeian forces retreated across the sea back to their Peninsula which the Twelve army retreated to the western border. We learned that Twelve and Gabe along with the neighboring nations of Ur, Dama and Gohra were overthrown in soft coups by Dark Dragon Tribe backed rebels. Jafal Ramal was in the line of being king promising major reforms inspired by the Crocus Zentopia Church under your father and Dragonv and was revealed to be a convert to Keihatsuism, hence he was overthrown in a violent coup and shortly after the invasion occurred.
Present-day
"Man you really have grown so powerful Irene, to take on a whole army yourself." Anna said to me as i was abler to take down a small army singlehandedly,
"Not really myself, i had 298 other people including the Dragon Protection Squad." I replied with sweat from my brow.
"Still you defeated at least 50,000 soldiers, 4 of the strongest humans in the region and two Dragons by yourself, that's impressive. You're becoming much like your mother. Still what became of the Prince?" Anna explained to me.
"Jafai Ramal is a political refugee within my country under my protection. One day i will liberate his country from the Dark Dragon Tribe and he will be king of that country. For the time being, he's unpopular due to his reformist mentality and his newfound faith in Keihatsuism, he can't return." I said to Anna about my long term plan.
"Figures that much, Father has still faced small srimiskes within the country with the Traditionalist Crocus Zentopians, Reformists like my father and I are the most hated by the establishment, it doesn't help that the Askerhman faith is the most hateful against women and those who stray away from their faith. The difference is that Asekrhamn has been known for wars and as seen with their recent attempts against Dragonv, after all, they were crazy enough to attempt an invasion during your mother's height of power after she defeated the Dark Dragon Tribe"Ana explained to me regarding the insanity and devotion of the Askerhamni religion.
"What surprised me is that the Serenity Kingdom was aiding the Askerhmani Nations to take out Dragonv, given the Serenity Church of Zentopia had been feuding with Asekrhamni for centuries, this could be bad for the upcoming war. Khangora, a fierce Military empire run by Vertican Sakyamuni Warriors, the Gabiean Peninsula which is a fierce military power run by the Orthodox Church Of Askerhman which now has control of the Ur Empire and Gohra, a country of Giants, we also have the Serenity Church of Zentopia's Knights Templar just at our border in Dragonv and the country of Twelve run by the The Twelve Dispsnces of Askerhm. We have the fear of Cina joining the ranks of the Dark Dragon Tribe along with the Taahchino Kingdom. The Dark Dragon Tribe is amassing at a far faster speed, we need to strengthen our alliances with the Egitto Empire, Seven, Gaercia Empire, Gupta, Cina, Gappione, Bosco, and the Viking nations to make sure we have enough dragons on our side." I explained to Anna about the vast size and scale of the upcoming war and how we need to get as many nations as possible involved in the upcoming war.
"So what's your plan, Irene?" Anna asked me.
"We'll discuss that after i eat, I'm hungry." I answered as my tummy growled.
"It's best we head back to the Manor, it's getting late." Anna said to me as we got up form our tables and chairs and began to walk towards the horse carriage outside
We were stopped suddenly by several people who appeared on horseback. One of them stood out, she was a young woman with long white hair and blue eyes. She was at least 2 inches shorter than Anna and wore a white priest robe. She appeared to be some kind of Nun.
"What's going on Sister Veronica?"Anna asked the White-haired mage.
"We have a real situation occurring in Mongolia, it seems to be an outbreak of human procession by rouge demonic spirits and ghosts" Veronica answered back.
"Darn, this happens every year around this time, seems like they're not waiting until tomorrow to gather." Ana explained to me as i was shocked to know that spirits existed.
"Spirits, they exist ?" I asked her.
"Of course they exist. They're every bit as real as magic, spirits that exist purely in a dim state can't be seen with anyone unless they know exorcism magic or the spirits in question are deeply tied to that person."Anna explained to me as she explained about the spirits.
"Exorcism is the duty of the Exorcism unit of Zentopia. I'm Sister Veronica Strauss of the Strauss Noble Family, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Queen of Dragons." the white-haired young woman said to me introducing herself to me
"Pleasure to meet you too. Best we head towards Mongolia then, we have spirits to catch." i stated as i was excited to help out.
"Not sure if you can help though, only those who use Holy Magic can battle spirits". Anna explained to me.
"But I process a Holy sword, should be good enough right?" I replied showing off my sword
"Fair enough, ride along with us then. If it's anything like last year, it shouldn't be much of a problem." I replied as we headed to Mongolia.
We head down to Mongolia on Horseback traveling at high speeds across the countryside with very fast horses. To think we're going to see spirits today was something special however little can compare to the horrors that awaited us.
