Chapter 66: The Bird and the Dragon?

As the duo stared at each other, the tension continued to rise. Kyzdall and Ondan did not dare move a muscle as they carefully watched their lord deal with the offender.

'As expected of my lord! With nothing but a word he managed to reverse the entire situation!' Thought Kyzdall as his eyes were shining with worship.

Ondan on the other hand was filled with shock, Kyzdall may be a God of war but he wasn't as sensitive as him an esteemed Dragon God towards mana. He was able to see the degree of control over mana Ysion had, and it was at an unbelievable level!

'I-It's, almost as if Mana is an extension of his body…' His mind spun continently, as he moved his eyes to look over at Ysion's face, both of their gazes interlocked. It was nothing but a mere second, yet it felt like an eternity to Ondan. As he stared at those dark abyssal eyes, he felt his conscience darkening a sense of indescribable danger took over him as all his senses screamed at him to turn his gaze away! To do something! Look elsewhere! Alas he couldn't, he could feel himself losing conscience yet had no way of stopping it.

'Ah my lord, you truly are a head and shoulder above all of us.' A small satisfied smile took over his face as his eyes slowly turned darker and darker.

*Snap*

It was then that the clear sound of finger-snapping echoed in Ondan's mind as if struck by lightning his eyes widened as they regained their former clarity.

"*Gasp*, W-wha-?"

Not letting him continue Ysion spoke up, "It was my fault, I apologize I did not control myself as well as I should have." He said with a somber tone.

"Wha-! My Lord! I am unworthy of such words! Please do not concern yourself with me!" Hurriedly replied Ondan his face pale as he quickly bowed.

"Hmm?" Kyzdall on the other hand was confused as his eyes darted between Ysion and Ondan, unable to understand what had just occurred.

"En," Nodding, Ysion turned his attention back to Ola. His head however was filled with thoughts over what had just happened.

'Not good, I almost obliterated Ondan's conscious! And what the hell is this Mana?!' He thought while looking at his hand where a small black fog surrounded it.

As his mind was pre-occupied with such thoughts and with Ondan still busy thinking about his near-death experience while Kyzdall was trying to figure out what was going on, everyone failed to notice a small change of mana inside Ola's body, when the mana fluctuations went expanded outside it was already too late by then.

Ysion's eyes suddenly lit up, his senses screamed at him to run! It was a feeling far stronger than when he fought with Azumah. He hurriedly teleported towards Ondan and Kyzdall grabbing both of them before tearing an opening in the Void and hurdling them inside. Just as he was about to step inside an earth-shattering sound of an explosion rang from behind him.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

The sound was so loud that even Kyzdall and Ondan who were already inside the Void heard it. Ysion's ears rang as he quickly jumped inside to run away from the explosion briefly looking behind him, as he did the sight, he saw was something that made his eyes widen and mouth drop.

Space itself was being destroyed, he did not know how that was possible but the explosion was so big that it caused space to collapse turning the void crack he opened unstably.

"Argh!" With a loud grunt, Ysion willed all the surrounding mana he could to close the opening while also shielding them.

All this happened in mere seconds, as the void crack closed safely teleporting Ysion and the rest away, the space they occupied seconds ago ruined by the aftermath of the earth-shaking explosion. In the middle of where the explosion took place, where Olan's body was obliterated, the hazy outline of a shadowy figure was barely visible. The figure vaguely resembled a blackbird as its appearance constantly changed as if unable to remain in one, yet strangely reverting back to that of a bird every time it did, before silently merging with space effectively disappearing as if it was never here.

Not long after, a huge hazy golden figure appeared from thin air. The figure was gigantic and not humanoid, It was vaguely similar to that of an eastern dragon! It was entirely covered with a golden glow yet it didn't seem to exist in the same space, it's cold golden eyes were devoid of emotion as it looked down on the space where the explosion took place for a while unmoving as if trying to decipher the truth behind what happened over here.

"Hmph!" After a while, a loud harrumph echoed through the empty space causing it to shudder before the golden figure disappeared as silently as it had appeared, the only proof of it of it's existent was the echoes of its harrumph.

Thousands of kilometers away, a void crack opened as three beams of lights flew out of it. Kyzdall and Ondan had pale faces as they each held Ysion from one side supporting his flight.

After they moved a significant distance away from the opening the trio slowly came to a halt, Kyzdall's eyes turned red as he gathered mana around them creating a small patch of land in the empty space, Ondan then gently guided Ysion there, with a wave of his hand the land rose as it formed a bed of green grass, he then carefully helped his lord rest on top.

As soon as Ysion laid down his conscious slowly left him as he drifted away in a blissful sleep. Ondan and Kyzdall, however, were anything but calm as they gazed at each other with a look of mutual understanding, Kyzdall's eyes once again burned bright red as he created layers upon layers of shields to surround them, Ondan then took over as he guided his mana to surround them effectively hiding them from any one's sights. The small piece of land that was out of place in an empty space quietly disappeared as if it had never existed before.
