Chapter 43 - The adventure begins part 2

As our main character and his team continued towards the portal at the top of the world, our main character grew more and more restless because he could feel the evil getting closer…

We should be about a day away from the portal now.

"Yeah, we really covered a lot of ground over the last two months," Lio said.

Well, let's not slow down. If we maintain this pace, we can be there around noon tomorrow.

At 11:30 am the next day…

We are around 30 minutes away, guys. We are almost there.

Then suddenly everyone heard a loud roar from the sky above, and our main character felt a great evil descend…

"No, no, no, no, it can't be!" Lyra screamed as she saw the evil that had appeared before them.

It was the 16-eyed beast, the Magnus Sedecimdraconis, or the Sixteen-Eyed Dragon. It had four heads, and on each head there were four eyes. Its body was completely black with white, emotionless, evil eyes, and it exuded a purple poisonous aura that caused anyone who breathed the air around it to die…

Lyra, it's fine. Y'all just stay in here, I'll take care of it.

As Aerin said that, he absorbed Nature Aru in seconds and opened a pocket dimension for his team to hide in…

"Alright, we'll leave it to you," Lio said as he, Lyra, and Aelira walked into the pocket dimension.

Alright, now that they are gone, I can finally go all out against you.

Then Aerin unleashed his aura, and as soon as he did, the world shook violently. His friends could even feel it inside the pocket dimension he had created…

I haven't used this ability in a while. I might be a little rusty, so I'm going to wait until you get a little closer.

As the beast got closer and closer, Aerin began to create spears of plasma. There were hundreds of thousands…

There should be enough spears to kill you now. Now die.

Then Aerin shot the spears at the beast, and the beast began to fall…

I'm glad I also targeted the wings as well as the heads and heart. It would have hit me otherwise and possibly crushed me.

As Aerin began to walk away, he heard a strange sound…

What the hell!

The beast was regenerating, first its heads, then its heart, and then its wings…

Of course it can regenerate. Why wouldn't it be able to do that? Still, why can it regenerate from a missing head? That's ridiculous!

After the beast got up, it immediately started flying towards Aerin once more…

I'm going to use my Spatial barrier. It will help me.

Now what can I use? I have no way to bypass its durability.

Oh, wait, I do. Léōn told me this would be helpful in the future. Maybe this is what he meant.

Then Aerin used Disintegration, and the dragon blew up into millions of pieces of flesh…

If it gets up from that, I really don't know what to do.

And the beast began to regenerate once more…

What the hell! Come on, this is ridiculous!

I blew it to pieces! What do I do now?

Can I maybe use convergence and make a new attack? But what two attacks would be strong enough to beat this thing?

While Aerin was thinking, he didn't notice that the beast had disappeared and was now just meters away from him…

Wack!

Aerin was sent flying, and when he finally touched the ground, he left a giant crater the size of a city in the earth…

Ouch! My ribs!

When Aerin got up, he noticed his ribs sticking out of his body…

Well, that's not good, and it hurts like hell!

I don't have time to heal though. That damn thing is coming this way.

Then Aerin combined his two skills, Disintegration and Eternal Flames, creating a new ability called Internal Chaos…

This ability is all I got. Let's hope it's enough.

As the beast grew closer and closer, Aerin unleashed his new attack…

Boom!

The beast exploded, and every single piece it exploded into was on fire and burning into ash…

There is absolutely no way it can regenerate from that, right?

As Aerin said that, the beast began to regenerate again…

Why? What the hell is this thing? How can I kill it?

"You can't, at least not with your current strength," Léōn said as he appeared.

Why are you here, Léōn?

"I'm here to get rid of this abomination, but another one will be back in this world in 100 years' time. In 100 years' time, you will have to kill it. Until then, train on Earth and the surrounding worlds and realms," Léōn said.

And after Léōn had said that, he blew on the beast, and it was erased. All the destruction that had been inflicted by it was reversed. It was as if the beast had never existed…

"Farewell my child, see you in 100 years," Léōn said as he disappeared.

Then Aerin opened the pocket dimension and told his team all that had happened as they ran toward the portal…

So, that's what happened.

"That's crazy, it could regenerate even after it had been completely destroyed?" Aelira asked.

Yes, yes it did.

And when they finished their conversation, they looked up and saw the portal…

"Is that it?" Lio asked.

Yes, that's the portal to Earth.

We all ready?

"Yes," Lio, Lyra, and Aelira responded.

Well then, let's go.

Then our main character and his team went inside the portal…

What is waiting for our main character and his team on the other side? How will they adapt to this new world? What is going to happen in 100 years? Find out soon…

To be continued…
