The Betrayal of the Empire 2

"Stella?" Miyuna looked at me.

I was looking at the ground. I felt betrayed that Emperor Lazlord hadn't changed after I killed Zephyr. I felt so stupid to believe that he didn't want to kill me anymore. Aria and Azami looked at me.

"Lazlord will die.." I whispered and giggled softly then dark aura was emitting from my body. "He will die like the rest of the royals I've killed..I knew I should've killed him the moment I had the chance."

"Is your mother alright?" Aria looked at Kotome. "Is she usually this mad?"

"Before she usually was, but after the Battle of the Royals she never usually gets this mad." Kotome said.

"Stella is scaring me.." Tia held onto Ashe.

"Well what the hell am I gonna do?! I can't help you!" Ashe said trying to get Tia off her.

The plane landed at Arcania and we all got off. My side of the country hasn't been touched. We looked around and were met with Adriesta, Kielazar, and Victoria. Victoria walked towards me and held my arms.

"The King of Uphelia managed to stop the invasion from going beyond the Uphelia. We have enough time to set up." Victoria said.

"Assemble the Nightmare Assembly. We will finish what we should've ended a long time ago." I said.

"Right!" Victoria smiled happy to be fighting by my side again. She and Kielazar went off to get the Nightmare Assembly.

I noticed my bell fall and it jingled a bit. I picked it up, looked at it then rang it, hearing a roar. Everyone paused, including me. I shook it again and it jingled then the roar happened again.

"A Dragon is responding to this bell...It sounds like it's coming from there." Aria pointed at the Lunia Castle.

"You're confident is isn't convenient timing?" I asked.

"I'm sure...Maybe the dragon seems to know you." Aria said.

I was skeptical a bit. We walked towards the Lunia Kingdom and I rang the bell again along the way, hearing the roaring get louder. Half an hour passed when we finally made it to the castle and I rang it one last time and the roar was extremely loud and shook the ground then we saw a black scaled dragon with blue aura emitting from its body. I walked closer to the dragon and noticed a symbol on its head. It was the same symbol on my cheek and the dragon looked at me.

"What a beautiful dragon.." Saya said.

"I've never seen a dragon like this and I've seen every dragon there is to see in Genten. Could this be an Arcania Exclusive Dragon..?" Aria asked.

"I am Ysserel, The Dragon of Nightmares! I am the Dragon of Darkness! Stella, I am here to make a pact with you and you alone. I want to help you defeat Emperor Lazlord...no kill Emperor Lazlord. I will become your familiar." Ysserel said.

"Stella will gain the power of a dragon..?" Tia asked.

"I am one of the many live Ancient Arms. I am a special Ancient Arms. I am a Living Ancient Arms, I had only one master in the past named Lunaris...and now you will be my master. Your bell, I heard it from here and I will turn that into an Ancient Arm." Ysserel said.

"This bell..?" I looked at the bell.

"That bell, along with two other Ancient Arms and I will release you from your curse and you will be able to tap into the last of your Dark Power. You will finally have no limit to your abilities with me as your servant. Use me as you wish, Master. I am yours to command until your death." Ysserel said.

"Freeing mother from her curse along with Three Ancient Arms?! Plus those Ancient Arms are Dragon Weapons?!" Kotome said.

"Yes, Unbreakable Ancient Arms even if you use 100% of their power. Dragon Weapons are the best weapons known to man and aren't man-made like the original Ancient Arms are." Ysserel said. "I just need her to agree."

"What is the catch?" Adriesta asked.

"The catch is if she dies out pact ends..well I should say if she is killed if it be by someone else or suicide. Her passing away won't end the pact with the Bushi Bloodline. So basically only she and her birth children and her bloodline can use my power." Ysserel said. "I will only help you all in battle by her command."

I looked at the bell and thought of Haido. I nodded and looked at Ysserel.

"I approve of this proposal. I will be your master." I said.

"Good." Ysserel looked at me and touched the bell with her talons.

The bell glowed and blue aura emerged from the bell and a symbol was slowly engraved onto the bell and I looked at it. The Bushi Symbol was on the bell. Ysserel summoned two aura pillars and two weapons appeared. A Bow and A Sword.

"The Bow of Darkness named Naughtfall and The Black Sword named Oblivion..Two Ancient Arms created by me." Ysserel said and the pillars vanished.

I put the bell away and grabbed the bow and sword. I looked at them and at Ysserel. She looked at me and watched me. Saya and Miyuna hurried over to me and looked at them as well.

"They look so cool..!" Saya said.

"Such a beautiful color of black and blue." Miyuna said.

"You can test out their power here in the open field. It'll be a while before The Supreme Guards even make it past the Uphelia Borders. When I mean a while, I mean they can't make it passed the King of Uphelia. So best get as much training as possible before heading into battle." Ysserel said.

"Alright." I nodded.

"I'll summon some Specters and you all can train against them. You'll gain a lot of experience from these spirits. Use them to your advantage." Ysserel said.

Meanwhile at Genten, Zain appeared on top of Nixtorm Castle where Uchi and the others were. Paulla and Zofia looked up and saw Zain then pointed.

"Papa is here!" Zofia said, happily.

"Hm? Oh Zain you made it!" Uchi said, relieved.

Zain crouched down and looked around for Lady Nō. She caught his attention by her attitude and wanted to see if she was to be trusted.

"Have anyone seen a woman with a purple kimono, kinda purplish hair..dark aura?" Zain asked.

"Looking for me..?" Lady Nō smiled and opened her eyes and looked at Zain.

"Nō, I told you to stop these childish games." Nobunaga said.

"Oh come on dear, a little teasing doesn't hurt anyone. Plus he has a new form that would prove to be helpful to us." Lady Nō said.

"New form..?" Uchi asked.

"It's called Requiem Mode. I acquired it in my battle earlier. I don't know if it will be enough to take down Fafnir.." Zain said.

"There's an issue. Fafnir went into the Dragon Continent. He's causing all kinds of trouble in there and we need the key to unlock the gates to the Dragon Continent. I kinda threw it away after I defeated the Dragon King.." Uchi said nervously.

Zain blinked and looked at her. Oichi facepalmed and sighed. Nobunaga looked at her and groaned.

"You're lucky my sword can be used as the key as well.." He said. "We just came here to have a meeting then we are off to the Dragon Continent."

"There's no way you'll make it in time to help Stella in Arcania which is why we wanted your help." Uchi said.

"I see...well I'll help since I'm stuck in Genten until further notice." Zain said.

Everyone smiled and nodded then they all heard Fafnir's roar. They got ready to head towards Dragspire to get to the Dragon Gate and venture into the Dragon Continent and stop Fafnir.
