Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

467 Face To Face With Azengrade Part 2

I did not know if my words were true or not, I could only hope. But if they were, then Azengrade was now as good as dead, and a big cog in the wheel of things would be wiped out. I could only put up a strong front that my words were true. And the more I spoke, the more Azengrade's face paled. 

I walked over with my sword drawn. My eyes burned with the intent to kill. "Azengrade, you have no idea how many years I have waited for this day. I have waited so very long." As I said this, I raised my sword and stabbed out. With Atolie holding him in place, I only need to pierce his head. 

But sadly, some things were just too good to be true. My sword stopped a hair's breadth away from his scalp by some kind of black fog, making me frown. "Who's there!?"

"Little girl, you should not be so violent." A voice filled the room. I turned and looked into the shadow not too far away. A man in black clothes slowly stepped out. His eyes were also completely black. Before I could say a word, Atolie had tossed Azengrade to the ground, grabbed me by the waist, and jumped back to where Sophie and the others were currently hiding under a barrier.

"Atolie?"  I looked at her In confusion. I could not really sense this man's strength, so I could only rely on Atolie to tell me what was wrong.

"He is not human, nor is he a god. He is a thing that everyone fears." Atolie replied.

I was still very confused, but before I could ask questions, the man spoke once more. "That is very hateful. But I guess it is true that even gods fear me. But that is because I am something they knew would form from all the hatred and resentment that spreads throughout this universe. I am the ender of worlds, and once I appear, there is no hope. But do not worry. This is only a fragment of myself. One that I split off before I landed her and fell into a slumber. 

"As for this man."  The man stood in front of Azengrade, who seemed unable to move at this time. "His race is very interesting. I would like to study him. So I will be taking him with me."

I gritted my teeth and wanted to say something, but Atolie pulled me behind her. "Take him. Since he is going with you, he will die anyway, so there is no need for us to do anything."

"Very good. I like those who are obedient and accept their fate. After all, your fates are already set. Even if you were to escape into one of these little spaces, I will find you. I never let anyone on a planet I visit escape." With these words, we watched Azengrade become engulfed in black fog and, along with the man, disappear. 

"Atolie, that was…." I looked up at her. I had an idea, but I was not sure.

"That was the doom bringer. I did not know it could split a part of itself off and send it down to the planet below. That thing is something we have to be careful of. But since it has found interest in Azengrade and his race, we can think of them as extinct now." Atolie replied as she let out a sigh of relief. "Just now, if you had made a move, you would have been erased from existence. We need to grow stronger, much stronger. Just that fragment of the doom bringer was enough to wipe out this entire planet." Atolie's words were like a splash of cold water. I was still underestimating just how strong the doom bringer was! 

Of course, I should have realized this since the gods themselves will not touch it. This just showed how strong it really was, but in my mind, I was not really thinking this way. I was still thinking I could gain enough strength to deal with it. But now what? How was I going to be able to gain enough strength quickly? Yes, there was the option I was given by the spirit king. But if that fails, then what? How am I supposed to protect those I care about if things go south? 

I couldn't help but worry. My family, my friends, my lovers. All of them are people I  want to keep alive and protect. "Atolie, we are heading to the elven kingdom." 

There was no other way. That one dungeon was enough to power level everyone, including myself. With Atolie's help, we could easily gain levels quickly. But the question was, could we make it in time? Just how many levels would I need to be able to defeat such a powerful foo? I would need to become a god. No…. I would need to become even stronger than a god. What was stronger than a god? This question puzzled me. Was a god really anything to think about if one doom bringer was enough to make them hide? 

"Atolie, what is stronger than a god besides the doom bringer?" I asked out of curiosity.

"I am not sure. But I do know there are more powerful beings. They just do not care about mortal things." In other words, they would not care about a single doom bringer. But since there were beings much stronger than that, that meant I just needed to get to their level.

"Ten years. We have ten years. We can not waste any time." I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Adel, I need you to get your father to prepare a few year's worth of food and clothing.  "We need it for all of us. So make sure there are five portions per person. We will be heading to the elven kingdom first to dive into the dungeon there until are meeting with the spirit king. I can teleport us there, so it will not take long."
