Yukiko made it ...

Yuugi ends ...

Yukiko stays ...

Chapter 7 - Yukiko's desperation

As soon as she raises the sword holding the hilt with both hands to sink it as deeply as possible into her body, the albino seeks to ascend to the sky in a sudden and equally violent way at an angle close to ninety degrees towards the clouds when flying almost vertically, flapping its powerful wings vigorously despite feeling considerable pain in one of them due to the blow it suffered at the junction of one of the wings next to the pain of the curved sword that was embedded in her body.

Even feeling pain in the articulation of one of the wings, she concentrates on ascending to the sky as soon as possible with the general stop attacking her for having lost the sword that fell during the abrupt and unexpected ascent In that instant he was desperately struggling to hold on to the curved sword that was embedded deep in the dragon's flesh.

As she ascended upward, the general faced sharp and equally icy winds as it became increasingly difficult for him to breathe, making him gasp to the point of beginning to feel the effects of hypoxia on his brain.

After a few seconds he begins to suffer very serious damage due to hypothermia while several parts of his body were frozen.

Because he was at a time when he had adverse conditions for human life, he was unconscious with his hands dropping the sword as he fell from the back of the dragon who smiled immensely despite the intense pains that took his body by the blows he had suffered, showing intense satisfaction at sight the general's body falling towards the ground with his vital functions gradually ceasing.

When she takes her jaws to the object stuck in her flesh in order to remove it, the knowledge arises that it would be risky to do so because the object could be preventing some severe bleeding from happening If she took it out, it could cause a violent hemorrhage.

After all, the albino did not know the extent of the damage within her that the weapon provided.

Therefore, she leaves the sword stuck in it, despite feeling pain while starting the descent towards the ground.

Aiming to reach the soldiers as quickly as possible, Yukiko makes a vertical dive by retracting his wings, making him a projectile, as he needed to reach the remaining soldiers as soon as possible to neutralize them effectively, thus allowing the villagers and their friend could escape with a good safety margin.

On the ground, the soldiers wrongly thought that the dragon was killed by their general and after celebrating the feat, since a human had defeated a dragon, they begin their advance towards the village, as they managed to neutralize the ice creatures, although the they managed to kill countless soldiers, and there were some remaining ice birds that flew, attacking as many soldiers as possible before they were destroyed.

The remaining soldiers who had approached the village, show amazement on their faces when they saw a boy with spiky hair and tricolor, murmuring with eyes closed words unknown to them while standing at the entrance of the village and being too small than a boy his age, soldiers mistakenly think he was a child and not a fourteen-year-old boy.

After passing the astonishment, one of them speaks with visible disbelief in his voice:

- After a dragon is a child ?! Move forward! - the commander orders.

The soldiers did not know that the boy had disengaged himself from his family to be close to the dragon after handing over his friend Yoru to the care of his parents on his father's sacred promises when he offered to take care of her Yoru moved away from him under much reticence while the young priest took on the responsibility of helping the albino to stop them.

His father wanted to stay but with the imminence of Yuugi's mother giving birth he wanted his brother to be born with the presence of the father who would teach him everything about the Gods so that the knowledge of the family would be passed on to the future generation.

In addition, the young man could not abandon the first friend he had and who was always with him because he had sworn to himself before meeting Yukiko that if he had a friend he would never abandon him, no matter the situation and that he would be loyal to him.

Therefore, if she risked her life for him and his village, the young man would do the same, aiming to help her in some way while she cursed herself for not being more powerful.

Unaware of the fact that the boy found himself concentrating his Kiei so that he could use his powers, they inadvertently approach Yuugi and do not use the arrows because they thought it would be unnecessary since they believed it was only a child.

The young Priest opens his eyes with a glow surrounding his body.

Then, the soldiers are appalled when they observe the branches of the trees growing and then attack them when they become whips, whipping them and whose blows were not fatal because the young man would not be able to take a life and only wishes to leave them unable to continue on your intent.

This was the reason that led him not to invoke animals when praying to the Goddess of nature, limiting himself to trees.

After all, there was a high chance of death between humans and animals, something he didn't want to happen.

The problem with their attack is that when they saw the branches come to life to attack them, the terror intensified on them and with the overwhelming majority of their commanders and general finding themselves dead or unable to walk, some soldiers began to set fire to the branches at the being taken by the most pure despair and because of the dry weather an intense fire broke out in that part of the forest involving everyone in a flaming storm with Yuugi trying to escape while he was surrounded by ravenous flames.

After being able to calm down, he concentrated using his Kiei together with a prayer to the God of fire to control the flames because he did not want to burn people.

While he concentrated on using his power, many soldiers were overcome with despair wanting to get out of the flames and because they were terrified they ran in the worst possible direction They died as they were enveloped in intense flames that burned them alive as they became human fireballs as they ran with their bodies full of flames until they fell to the ground at the same time as the cries of despair and pain reigned as the fire spread ravenously because of the wind that blew at that moment together with the fact that the forest was dry, facilitating the spread of the flames.

The young man was surprised to see that he was still able to manipulate the flames despite having asked for help from the trees and when he was going to invoke the water in the lakes to put out the fire by starting a prayer to the Goddess of the water while concentrating his Kiei, a lock launched by a archer towards the young man hitting his chest causing him to fall to the ground with his concentration ending as he plunged into the darkness with the relentless flames surrounding his body.

When Yukiko felt her friend's fear a few minutes ago through the bracelet she gave him, she was desperate to save him and her despair only increased when she felt that Yuugi was unconscious and in danger as she saw the forest filled with rising flames several meters high, making the place a real furnace.

Despite the damage caused by the flames because she was a dragon of snows, she advances through the flaming storm while killing all the survivors who had managed to get out of the storm and who were trying to get away from it.

After all, the albino swore she would not leave any of the soldiers alive.

Facing the flames that burned her coat causing new damage to her, as well as intense pains added to her injuries caused by the general's sword blows, the albino continues in its advance by dodging the burning trees The albino had assumed its human-like shape so that it could fly among the flaming trees, dodging branches engulfed in flames that fell in front of it, as well as crossing flames of several meters in height, gritting its teeth by the intense pain it felt when the fire made contact with his skin while dealing with the intense pain of the wounds he suffered at the hands of the general, trying to keep his focus only on Yuugi at the same time that he was in a mixture of annoyance and sadness when realizing that he did not run away with the others .

Among the storm of flames that started in the place and that advanced in the houses of the village while the screams of despair and pain were gradually silenced, the albino manages to find him among the voracious flames that burned relentlessly everything that they touched when tracking the bracelet that he gave it to her thanking himself mentally for giving that item years ago.

The albino quickly catches his friend and takes flight, still in human form, away from the flames.

She is hit by a flaming arrow from one of the soldiers who was taken by the fury of having his friends killed and who fervently wanted to kill the one who caused their defeat by using his remaining forces to shoot the arrow at the dragon when he saw her taking over the human form and after passing his astonishment he prepared his bow for his penultimate attack because he still had an arrow in his quiver.

The burning tip of the arrow lodged in the albino's thorax and because of the flames, it went through his coat and skin into his flesh, causing some internal damage The man celebrates when he sees that her flight became even more weakened to the point of almost falling and then saw her recover slightly, making the soldier angry when he saw that she was still able to fly.

Taken by the desire for revenge that left him blind to the flames that surrounded him, he prepares his bow while taking his last arrow involving the burning tip and before he could shoot when aiming at the albino a fiery branch fell on him, killing him .

Even though she was too wounded, in severe pain while managing the intense weakness that took her from the loss of blood and the countless injuries on her body, Yukiko takes on the form of a dragon and continues to fly up to the sky even though she is extremely weak to the point of having that using all her remaining forces to fly, she looks back and using her special vision realizes that all the invaders are dead and that the villagers have successfully moved away to an even more isolated place while realizing that they worked in a way to disable the road they used to escape to prevent anyone from using that stretch to reach them.

The albino flies a considerable distance and in the opposite direction to the wind and the flames to guarantee its descent without facing any storm of flames.

After a few minutes she loses the rest of her strength and falls from the top, hugging Yuugi to keep his body close to his shaggy chest while turning his back to the floor, deciding to use her body to cushion the impact.

She manages to save Yuugi from the impact that would be deadly for him, causing the young man to be thrown to the side without suffering any violent impact because the grass helped to cushion the meager impact that the young priest suffered.

Yukiko had suffered the most damage. One of her wings was broken and the other dislocated while suffering from the new cuts with many wounds opening up again, making her coat even more soaked by the red blood that sprouted from her numerous wounds with her starting to breathe weakly at the same time. who felt countless lacerating pains from the impact of the ground and the injuries he suffered in battle.

The albino had been unconscious for a minute until she barely regained consciousness and was alarmed to feel that her friend's life was on the line and that if she didn't do something he would soon be dead.

The dragon feebly lifts her body, ignoring the lacerating pains that took her as she struggled hard not to enter unconsciousness as she crawled towards him using all her determination to approach her friend while desperately looking for a way to save him, with her weakened vision seeing the crimson puddle that formed under Yuugi's body and that made her be alarmed.

When approaching him she cries desperately for not knowing how to prevent the death of her friend by making the tears turn into tears of pain while albino did not feel any of his pains because the suffering of hearing Yuugi's heart beating more and more weak, indicating that he would soon leave that world, anesthetized her for the pain and for the state of her own body.
