Time Again
They had walked into a trap, a bad one too, they weren't outnumbered since Issei and Vali were there, but the shear about of enemies and attacks they had to defend the others from proved to be too much as an attack got through and impaled one of their members.
The girl looked down, the large spear of light protruding out of her stomach.
Issei and Vali stared in utter shock and defeat.
Issei rushed over to her as fast as he could before she died.
"Oh..."
Those were the last words out of her mouth before the light consumed her a moment later.
"No... no... it... it can't be... come back... please come back..." Issei cried.
He hadn't made it to her in time.
"Issei, don't do it, she wouldn't want you to do it." Vali tried to reason with Issei.
It didn't work.
"ASIAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The pain in Issei's voice was more extreme than the last time he thought he had lost Asia.
He swiftly turned around and his Aura exploded with rage.
"I who is about to awaken,"
"Am the heavenly Dragon who has stolen the principles of domination from God,"
"I laugh at the 'infinite' and I grieve at the 'dream',"
"I shall become the Red Dragon of Domination,"
"And I shall sink you to the depths of the crimson purgatory!"
"Juggernaut Drive!"
When the chant finished, Issei had transformed into his incomplete Juggernaut Drive. This time though, he had enough demonic power to use instead of his life force.
Not enough for his sanity though.
He went on such a rampage that calling it a "massacre" would be tame. He slaughtered every single one of his opponents without taking a scratch, boosting his own power and dividing his enemy's.
This was true domination.
[Vali, you're the only one who can stop him, you know what to do.] Albion stated.
"He truly is my rival, making me have to use Empireo on him. It looks like we need to work on his magical power capabilities though."
Vali raised his hand in the air, his aura exploding similarly to Issei's.
"I, the one to awaken, am the White Dragon Emperor who will take the law down to the darkness,"
"I walk the road of domination with infinite destruction and by piercing through the imaginary dream,"
"I shall become a pure Emperor of the Dragon,"
"I shall have you obey the silver-white illusions and the perfect evil-ways!"
"Juggernaut Overdrive!"
Vali's white armor shifted to the silver-white color that was his Juggernaut Drive. The only disadvantage Vali had at this moment, was the amount of time he could spend in this form, and his form was much smaller than Issei's.
Not that Vali cared anyway.
He shot off in the direction of Issei, who was currently gnawing on a dead body. Hopeful that the body was enough to distract him, he went in for the strike.
It wasn't.
His strike hit air as Issei was no longer there. Realization hit him immediately, since Issei was using his demonic power, it also increased the base abilities of the Juggernaut Drive.
Which meant Issei was much, much faster than last time. Finding out where he went wasn't that difficult, as a large fist was planted into Vali's back sending him crashing into the ground.
"Damn, now I know how Azazel felt when I hit him... time to get serious though, otherwise Issei will run out of power soon."
He took of straight at Issei again, since Vali still had his sanity, he could predict Issei much better than an insane person could.
As predicted, Issei dodged Vali's punch, appearing behind him again. This time however, Vali was ready for him, he swung around and placed a powerful punch into Issei.
[Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!]
Issei tumbled to the ground, near where Rias had just arrived.
"Issei!? Vali! What happened?" She really wanted to know why Issei activated his Juggernaut Drive.
Vali landed next to her, deactivating his Juggernaut Drive, and his armor.
"Rias, you know I am not one who shows emotion well, so I will apologize for my bluntness. Issei went berserk after Asia was impaled by a light spear, she didn't make it." His eyes downcast in respect.
Rias paled at the news, she would mourn for Asia later, she had to get Issei to come back before he killed anyone on their side. She ran up the motionless form of Issei and hugged the side of his head.
"I'm so sorry Issei, I'm so, so, sorry. I cannot imagine the pain you're in right now, but you need to come back, Asia wouldn't want to see you in this state, I don't want to see you like this, it really hurts to see you in this much pain. Please, come back!"
Issei twitched and got up off the ground slowly. He looked around him as if he was looking for Asia.
When he couldn't find her, he raised his head to the sky and let out a long painful cry.
Rias couldn't help but start to cry with him, which caught Issei's attention, he turned and crawled towards her until his head was right in front of her.
"Ri-as?..." His voice was distorted by the Juggernaut Drive.
Rias reached forward and petted Issei on his forehead to soothe and calm him down.
"It's ok Issei, I'm here now, you don't have to be angry anymore, come back to me and the others." Rias hoped her words reached him.
"Rias..." His voice was more normalized than the last time he spoke.
"Vali, reduce his power once more please." Rias requested.
[Divide!]
The Juggernaut Drive form only lasted seconds after that, with a shattering clang the armor dispersed and Issei fell into Rias' arms.
"Asia... Asia..." Tears flowed from his eyes as he cried into Rias' chest.
"It's ok now Issei, just rest now, you need rest." She checked to make sure he hadn't used any of his lifespan, thankful when she found that he had minimal magical energy remaining.
"Asia..." Was the last thing Issei breathed before he lost consciousness.
Issei woke up in a cold sweat, again. His nightmare was about Asia this time.
He sat in silence as he shed silent tears as he fought down the pain of the memory, he hated that he hadn't been strong enough to protect his family.
He wiped his tears away, he had a bit of work ahead of him today. He showered, cleaned his teeth, got dressed and left for a meet-up with the Occult Research club.
Sometime along the way, he got lost in his thoughts. How was he going to deal with Raiser and Sirzechs? How would he handle the revival of the Holy swords? Kokabiel would be an easy matter, beat the shit out of him until Vali arrived, simple as that.
Samael's Curse was another matter, while it wouldn't almost outright kill him like last time, he had to still be very careful now that he had been sharing a body with a dragon for almost 5000 years now, the effects of the curse would be even worse now than they were before.
There would be no chance in Heaven or in Hell that he'd let a curse of all things get the better of him.
So lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice he was about to walk into someone.
Well, the other person didn't either.
They walked into each other and both fell to the ground.
"Sorry about that, I wasn't watching where I was..." Issei trailed off as he saw who he bumped into. "...going."
"That outfit... it couldn't be..."
It was.
He had just bumped into Asia Argento for the second time in his life.
"Are you ok? Here, let me help you up." He got up from where he had fallen, walked over to Asia and offered her his hand.
"Thank you." She took his hand and was pulled to her feet by Issei.
The wind decided to pick up at the moment and blow off the head cloth she was wearing, causing her golden hair to flow and her emerald green eyes to shine in the sunlight.
"She's so cute..." Issei couldn't help but marvel at how adorable she was.
Again the wind picked up, blowing the cloth further away from them.
"One sec, let me get that for you." Issei chased after the cloth and caught it.
He quickly made his way back to Asia and handed it to her. She spent a moment putting it back on right.
"Thank you very much!" She smiled.
That smile, oh how Issei loved that smile, it was what was most precious to him about her. If she was smiling and happy, everything was ok.
"Oh, you're very welcome!" Issei savored every word he got to say to, and hear from, Asia.
He had to keep the conversation going, this time it wouldn't be as awkward.
"I haven't seen you around here, did you just arrive in town?" He knew what was coming next.
"I-I got lost and need help." Asia fidgeted on the spot, obviously slightly embarrassed at the fact.
"Well, let's head in this direction to the center of town to start." He knew where she needed to go, but he had to stall for a short amount of time.
Asia nodded her head in agreement and they were off.
"Are you on a trip?"
"Oh, no." Asia replied. "I was appointed to this town's church."
"You're a nun, huh? That explains the look." Issei pointed out.
"I'm so glad I met such a nice person like you. It must have been divine guidance."
"Well, if you say so..." Issei was highly skeptical that any Divine Being controlled coincidence.
Just then, they came across a boy crying, he had scraped his knee.
Asia quickly made it to his side.
"Don't cry, it's just a scrape, let me make it better."
Her hands started to glow a bright green, or more specifically, the silver rings on her hand did.
"Look!" She exclaimed. "Your wound is gone!"
Sure enough, it was.
Asia looked back at Issei and gave him an apologetic smile.
"Sorry, force of habit."
"No need to apologise, shall we move on?"
"Sure, let's go."
They had walked a fair ways to the church before Asia spoke up.
"I must've surprised you."
"Yeah, you have an amazing power, I would be careful who you trust though, there are people who would exploit your kindness for their own benefit."
Issei really wanted her to be wary of the people around her
"It's a wonderful power granted by God."
Her mood seemed to shift.
"Yes, a wonderful power..."
Issei wanted nothing more than to help her, and comfort her, he couldn't though. As much as he hated to do it, he needed to use her as bait for Raynare.
This time though, he would kill her before letting her take Asia from him.
"Oh, that must be the place!"
"Oh, yeah, that's the only church we have in town."
It was the only church Issei would allow to remain standing in his town, for Asia, Xenovia, and Irina's sake.
"Great! Thank you so much!"
The presence of such a holy place made itself known to Issei, but he didn't outwardly show it.
"But I haven't seen anyone over there." Except Fallen Angels.
"I'd like to return the favor, so would you like to accompany me?"
That would end oh so well.
"I'm sorry, but I have somewhere I have to be soon, otherwise I'd love to."
At least he wasn't lying.
"I see." She didn't sound happy. "My name is Asia Argento. Please call me Asia!"
She gave Issei a smile that melted his insides. Metaphorically.
"I'm Issei Hyoudou. You can call me Issei!" He smiled back at her.
"Issei, I'm so happy to have met someone as kind as you this quickly after arriving in Japan! Please visit the church when you find the time. Promise me!"
"Yeah, I'll do that. See you around." He turned and started to walk away.
"Yes, I hope so!"
"Don't go near churches ever again." Rias didn't seem angry at Issei, she was more disappointed in herself for not warning him.
"Churches are hostile territory to us Devils. You'll incite fights God and us Devils just by stepping in there. You can never know when one of those guys will throw a light-lance at you."
"Seriously? Then that chill I got when I was near the church..."
"Your demonic instincts must have detected danger. Staying around someone from the Church is inviting death. Especially when some of the Church's exorcists wield Sacred Gears."
Nothing he didn't know already, at this point he was pretending to listen.
"Issei." Rias' tone was more serious this time.
"Yes?"
"To exercise a Devil means to annihilate them completely. Into nothingness. Then you turn into nothing. You feel nothing. You can do nothing. Do you know what that's like?"
What Issei wanted to say was, "Yes, yes I do." but prevented himself from saying that out loud.
"No, I don't..." Issei said it in such a way that it tugged at Rias' heart. It was a cheap move, yes, but one he couldn't stop himself from using.
"Sorry if I sounded too upset. Anyways, be careful from now on."
Rias turned and walked away.
"Understood, President."
Issei was on his way to a job after a meet-up with Rias to take care of a "Visor" class stray Devil. Rias had almost been injured if not for his quick reflexes. With nothing else to do, he decided to go over his short term plan again.
1. Officially become a High Class or Ultimate Class Devil as soon as possible.
This would allow him to make a peerage of his own. He didn't know who exactly would fill all the spots, but he knew for certain that one particular Bishop by the name of Ravel Phoenix. Having her back as his manager would be a metaphorical godsend, she knew how the Underworld worked far better than he did.
She also had the biggest crush on him for the longest time.
Having Asia as a Bishop, and Xenovia as a Knight eliminated those piece choices. There was also the possibility to recruit Vali into his peerage. Probably using 8 Pawn pieces or a Queen on him.
2. Prevent Asia from dying. This was a no brainer.
3. Find out how much more, or less, of an asshole Raiser was before knocking his ego down into the dirt.
It didn't take Issei long to reach his destination. He decided it wouldn't be worth being on the downside of a fight.
"Balance, Break!"
[Welsh Dragon, Balance Breaker!]
His Scale Mail formed instantly once more.
He decided to make his entrance loud. Kicking the front door in should be enough cause for alarm for who was waiting inside.
Issei made his way inside, walking down the hallway and entering the first open door on the right. The corpse of the owner lay in a pool of its own blood. Off to the left, Freed Sellzen sat on a small sofa facing away from the doorway.
"Punishment of the wicked. I'm quoting the holy scripture here..." Freed's sentence dropped off suddenly as he saw who was blocking the doorway.
A red dragon.
"Hello Freed, having a nice evening?" Issei enjoying having an extreme upper-hand in a fight.
"I am so fucked..."
"Damn right you are, but remember this, you only live because I allow it. Otherwise, you would be dead right now."
Issei said no more as his fist connected with Freed's face with enough force to knock him unconscious in one hit. Issei had to pull his punch otherwise it would have outright killed him.
"W-Who are you?" A small, scared, familiar voice came from behind him.
Issei turned around to see Asia standing in the doorway terrified.
"I am the Crimson Dragon Emperor, also known as the Red Dragon Emperor. I mean you no harm, I promise." Issei answered.
Asia seemed to accept his answer, but she was still cautious.
"I'm Asia, Asia Argento."
Issei nodded.
"I can only stay for a little while longer, Fallen Angels will be here soon and they cannot find out that I was here. What exactly is a girl like yourself doing with stray priests and Fallen Angels?"
Asia's eyes widened.
"I see, there's a reason behind it. If that's the case I'm sure you don't want me prying so I won't if you don't want me to."
Issei paused, and then continued.
"I will warn you though, you should not trust them. If you have someone you can trust, you should put your faith in them. Even if it's just for a moment, friends come through in the end."
The Fallen Angels had arrived.
"I have to go now, take great care of yourself, the time is near when I will show up again."
Issei activated a teleportation circle and walked into it, he looked back at Asia who was standing in the doorway still.
"Farewell, Asia Argento."
"Farewell, Red Dragon Emperor."
The teleportation circle activated, and Issei disappeared.
After teleporting home, deactivating his armor, and then teleporting once more to the school track field, Issei ran a few laps so his story would be more believable.
He ran inside the old school house and burst in to the Occult Research Club, accidentally tripping over himself in the process. All eyes of Rias' peerage were on him.
"Issei! Why are you back this early? What happened?" Rias got out of her seat and quickly made her way over to him.
The others were too shocked to even move, except Kiba, she was the only one who got up and helped Rias move Issei onto a sofa.
"Issei, can you tell us what happened?" Yumi asked.
"I... I arrived at the client's house, I rang the doorbell and no-one answered, the door was unlocked so I let myself in. There was only one door open, so I entered it, I didn't notice anything wrong at first, and then the smell hit me. Human blood. It was then that I saw the body... it was in pieces. That's when a man who called himself Freed Sellzen, claimed to be a stray priest working for the Fallen Angels and admitted to killing the client because he was 'no longer human' because he made a contract with a Devil... everything after that is one big blur..." Issei trailed off.
The room fell in silence. Everyone was in shock at the information they just heard.
"Rias, do you think we need to call your brother in?" Akeno asked.
"I can't say that would be the wisest idea right now, but if things get too out of hand, I'll call him and inform him of the situation." Rias replied.
That was new, Rias wasn't quite as adamant about not bringing her brother into a bad situation. Still, Issei wouldn't need that kind of help. He'd annihilate every last one of the Fallen Angels that were following Raynare.
"Hey President, would it be ok for me to go home now? It's been a long day and I really need to get some rest." Issei immediately yawned.
"Go ahead Issei, but I want you to take a portal there, it's too risky to walk the streets at night now, especially after the events of tonight." Rias was very concerned for her new Pawn.
"Thank you Rias. Akeno, Yumi, Koneko, I will see you later tomorrow if that's ok, I would like the morning and afternoon to relax." Issei pushed his luck, hopefully it would pay off.
"Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't allow it, but this is the third time you been attacked in the same week so I will allow it for tomorrow only." Rias relented.
It payed off.
"Goodnight everyone!" Issei waved as he activated a portal home.
Yumi looked conflicted for a moment before what seemed like her coming to a decision. She quickly made her way over to Issei.
All eyes were on her, Rias was curious, Akeno had a half shocked look in her eyes, the other half was an approving look. Koneko had also adopted a curious look like Rias, but hers was less concerning.
"Issei..." Her eyes were slightly downcast. She locked eyes with him, hugged him, and kissed his cheek. "Stay safe, alright?"
Even after living for 5000 years, Issei still blushed after being kissed by a girl.
"Y-Yeah, I'll make sure to do that..." He was baffled that he had only known Yumi for a few days, and she was already falling for him.
The only thing he could think of to explain it, was since his power was exponentially higher than the first time around, the effects of being the Red Dragon Emperor were amplified.
So in theory, some girls would fall for him faster, and some guys would like him even less. So was the way of a sharpened double edged sword.
Issei stepped in the circle, and vanished.
All eyes turned to Yumi.
"Stop staring at me, it's embarrassing..." She squirmed under the gazes of the others.
"My, my, you beat me to it Yumi, well done. Well done indeed, I didn't expect you to b so bold." At least Akeno praised her.
Yumi turned to Rias.
"I hope you don't mind Rias, something about him seems so... attractive."
Rias was still shocked.
"I don't see why you need my permission, it's not like I'm interested in him or anything, he's just my Servant." She looked away while blushing.
"So Tsundere..." Yumi thought.
They then went their separate ways after that, and went to bed.
Issei awoke to the sound of his alarm, he had set it to wake him an hour earlier than when Rias usually woke up. He had a Bishop piece to steal, and a girl to turn into a Devil. The latter would be for a little later. The former was the reason he was up so early. He had to sneak in to the Occult Research Club and find a Bishop piece and then use it on Asia.
He got out of bed, got dressed, and activated a portal and vanished the instant he stepped into it.
A few seconds later, he arrived in the clubroom. He remembered that Rias had a habit of sticking just about anything in her work desk. Walking over, he sat himself down in her chair. He had to put himself in Rias' shoes. Where would she store the pieces? In a safe behind a hidden wall? In a desk drawer? In a hidden desk drawer?
Issei thought to himself for a few minutes before Ddraig spoke up.
[Issei, you know you have an easy way to find Evil Pieces.]
"I'd rather not mess with powers that I have no idea about." Issei gritted.
[Where's that blind resolve you once had so long ago? Like with your first battle with Vali?]
"I know." Issei sighed. "Risk taking with others involved has payed off this time around, but last time around... things were bad Ddraig. I know you remember."
Ddraig remained silent, not having to speak for Issei to know he remembered.
"I'll do it Ddraig, just... just make sure I don't use it more than I absolutely have to."
[Understood, partner.]
"Promotion. King."
Issei felt the King Piece that was previously sealed away in his Sacred Gear. It was sealed because of the unfathomable power it would give him. If only he had gotten the Evil Piece before the war and appearance of the Dragon that no-one barely knew anything about.
All negative thoughts aside, he felt the power slowly build up inside of him. It was, different, to say the least, commanding was another word to describe it.
The power of a Crimson King of Domination.
Issei willed the power to reveal the location of any nearby Evil Pieces. Since this was his first time using this power, all he got was a tug in the direction of the door. So this is how much he could use, only a direction of the pieces was all he could manage.
The tug led him hallway through hallway, until he came across a door near the end of the hall. This must be where Rias kept all of her Devil related possessions. Since his power as a king wasn't developed, he couldn't pinpoint the piece any further than the room itself.
Resealing his King piece, he spent the next 10 minutes searching the room top to bottom. When he couldn't find it, he felt like punching a wall.
[Issei, using more power from the King piece could help.] Ddraig wanted nothing more than to help Issei.
"I'd rather not, but I suppose there is no other way if I want to get this piece right now." Issei sighed in defeat. He really didn't want to do this, but he had no other choice.
Issei concentrated on the Bishop piece, concentrated on wanting it. He then released more power from his King piece. Once enough power was released, he could feel the magical signatures from Rias' Bishop, Knight and Rook pieces.
No wonder he couldn't find them by just looking, they were in a different dimensional plane. Which meant that Issei could have summoned the piece from anywhere. Oh well, he was here already, might as well get the piece and meet up with Asia.
He focused solely on the Bishop piece and commanded it to come to him. It didn't move an inch.
"So that's how it's going to be." Issei thought.
He released his mastered power of Domination. He was one of the two Heavenly Dragons after all, he wasn't going to let a simple stubborn Bishop piece beat him. Within seconds of releasing his power, the Bishop piece appeared in his hand.
Step one complete. Step two; begin.
Issei created a portal home, walked into the circle and disappeared.
Issei woke up from the short nap he had taken when he got home. He had expended more energy than he had expected trying to get a simple Evil piece. Rias was a lot more power this time around it seemed. He wondered if that would make training easier, or harder.
He hoped easier.
Issei left the house and walked to the kids play park that was near his home. He'd never forget this place, it was the place where after he had thought he had lost Asia for the first time, that he had met up with her again.
"Issei? Is that you?" A voice suddenly said behind him.
He whirled around to see none other than Asia standing there. He was about to ask if she was ok, but remembered that it was the Red Dragon Emperor she had met, not him at the client's house.
"Oh, hey Asia. What's going on?" He tried to act as oblivious to the fact that she was in contact with Fallen Angels.
"Nothing really. I was just making myself familiar with the town so I don't have to get lost anymore." She laughed lightly.
"If that's the case, do you maybe want to hang out and do something?"
Asia smiled.
"I would like that very much."
They spent a fair amount of time in an arcade, where Issei won Asia a stuffed mouse that she had wanted. They went to a food joint and Asia tried a hamburger for the first time, Issei couldn't help but to smile when she found it to be delicious. They also when looking around outlets for anything Asia might like, but it ended up there wasn't anything in particular.
With the day coming to a close, they found a bench that overlooked a massive fountain.
"Issei, I had so much fun today, I would really like to do it again sometime soon." She was as bright as the sun.
"Of course, I had a lot of fun today too." Issei smiled back.
They were interrupted by a third, familiar voice.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the weak boy I failed to kill, who knew you'd be reincarnated into a Devil?"
Raynare.
"Issei, is it true? Are you really a Devil?"
"I-I am Asia." Issei didn't look back, he knew how Asia was with others, kind and gentle, and most of all. Accepting.
"How adorable, so the truth finally comes out. Listen here Hyoudou, if you give her to me now, you can leave with your life." Raynare said with an air of superiority.
Issei turned to Asia, and gave her a smile.
"You have nothing to worry about Asia, I'm not going anywhere without you." He pulled out the Bishop piece and handed it to her. "Take this, it will grant you the power to protect those dear to you Asia, it will help you keep others safe, while allowing others to keep you safe in return. All you have to do, is accept the piece into your body."
Asia stared at the piece, the power to protect others? Could she really deny the thing she wanted the most other than friends? Could she trust Issei?
"Even if you don't trust me, trust the piece, it isn't capable of anything of the sort. All it will do is give you power."
Asia made a decision, she decided that not trusting her friends would only lead to losing them, she put her faith in Issei.
She accepted the piece into her body.
A rush of power flooded through her body causing her to stumble slightly, but Issei caught her.
"Feels good doesn't it Asia? Now, I would like you to sit down and watch the show, can you do that for me?"
Asia nodded.
"Very well."
Isse turned to Raynare.
"I think you're mistaken Raynare, your life is the only one at risk here. In the name of the Great Devil King Lucifer, I will send you straight back to Azazel to answer for your crimes."
The Boosted Gear formed on his arm along with his Dragon Wings coming out of his back. His eyes glowed a bright neon green.
An explosive flash of Red light temporarily blinded both Asia and Raynare. When their eyesight returned, they were both in shock and Raynare was in absolute terror. The Red Dragon Emperor was flying in the air only 20 feet away from her. His aura was as red as the crimson purgatory of Hell and his eyes were glowing with power.
"I, the Emperor of Red Dragon will be your opponent. Hmm, now that I look at your wings they're just as filthy as the wings of a crow, nothing like Azazel's, his are like an endless void."
"How is this possible?! You never had this power when you were human! It's impossible!" Raynare screamed at him.
"Details, details... details that won't matter after you're dead. So let's end this quickly shall we? I'm going to have a bit of fun. Asia, do you mind staying here? I promise I'll be back in less than 10 minutes."
"I don't mind Issei, as long as you come back." It was a promise he would not break.
He turned his attention back to Raynare.
"Let's take this elsewhere shall we?" He created a Reality Marble around himself and Raynare and they disappeared from Asia's sight.
"Where the hell are we?" Raynare tried over and over again to escape but she couldn't. He had recreated the arena where he had fought Diodora.
"Somewhere... special."
The air grew heavy, and a feeling enveloped the air around Raynare of pure dread and hopelessness. It became hard to breath and the air grew cooler by the second.
She turned and looked at Issei who was just standing there.
Suddenly, the jewels on his armor lit up and his aura exploded with so much force she flew into one of the pillars. When she looked back at him, the light had disappeared around his armor leaving his silhouette and glowing green eyes to be enveloped by his crimson aura.
"I, who is about to awaken..."
She couldn't hear the rest of the words as she stopped paying attention to them, her body locked up in fear at the mutating armor. Tears streamed from her eyes as it felt like the end of the world apocalypse had just started.
It was only a few seconds later when a massive Dragon like creature stood not 30 feet away. As it advanced slowly towards her, it was then when she realized it.
It was the end for her.
