The Dragón God

[please give me power stones!!]

The lower jaw of the Red Wrym...

What a troublesome road!! We couldn't even get our carriage on this trip and had to leave it in the last town before entering the high mountains and instead we bought a simple cart which was pulled by a kind of wildebeest or Buffalo of this world.

But due to its small size only Hilda, Lilia, Flute and Laws' wife Anna would travel on it...

The rest of us would just have to settle for walking for the rest of the journey.

Honestly, I didn't expect anything from this road, but I was still disappointed. It barely fits the cart, which Anna is controlling while we avoid falling.

The path is approximately 3 meters wide, which is almost nothing. On the left we have a huge wall and on the right a cliff whose bottom cannot be seen.

The road is carved directly out of a mountain so it has a roof and some pillars to prevent the structure from collapsing, but even so, I honestly would never want to return to this place...

"P-Paul...how much longer until we get there?..." A terrified Hilda asked with a murmur.

The poor girl had retreated to a corner to the left of the cart, hugging her legs and avoiding looking at the precipice. Unfortunately, I discovered that she is afraid of heights, but I can't do anything to help her in that regard.

"It'll be a week of traveling around these parts...but don't worry, the final stretches will be narrower," I murmured with a smile and she just buried her head in her knees.

Lilia wasn't any better, but she stood in the back, staring straight ahead while offering me a small smile.

Flute on the other hand looked anxious, as did I, we were both anxious to get home and see what happened.

"Don't worry, it may not seem like it but these paths have been intact for centuries, there's no chance of collapse" Roxy said to Hilda with a smile and exchanged a look with me.

It's been almost two weeks since our campfire conversation, In short, when I turn fifteen I will declare my love to her again and she will accept, that is the promise we made, there was nothing more to say and I was more than happy with this.

But we still decided to keep our distance, I still have too many matters to attend to in the capital and she still wants to study at the magical university of Sharia...

"That's true, but the only concern here is...the Red Wrym" Laws muttered and a stiff voice was heard in the distance.

Basically Red Wrym are like dragons but...actually, those damn things are dragons just with a different name and only in red, I won't bother explaining that.

"That's true, but I don't know of any recorded cases of Wryms attacking on this road, that only happens in the lower areas," Roxy stated again.

Even with their Dragon characteristics, the inveciles are sometimes caught by air currents and forced to come down to the surface, these species generally live in herds But even with just one they can be classified as walking natural disasters, that's how strong they are.

"Do you think you can beat one, Paul?" Hilda asked suddenly and I scratched my chin.

I actually hadn't thought about it and immediately pictured a scenario in my head.

"...yes, I could handle one, but with a pack I'd be in trouble, it would be better not to bother them" I declared seriously and the red-haired girl nodded with a big smile.

"Damn brat, you know there are few people as strong as you, right?" Laws muttered with a smile.

"Heh, that's true, and that's why I'm the Lord of the Notos," I replied in my own mocking tone, which sparked laughter from my group.

But the laughter was quickly replaced by moans of fear and short breaths.

Laws and Roxy suddenly stopped walking and the cart did the same.

"Hmm?...Is something wrong?" I muttered as I looked behind me and frowned instantly.

Everyone without exception had pale faces with fear, Roxy held her cane firmly and Laws tried to grab his bow while staring straight ahead.

The girls in the wagon were practically shaking and Hilda...she peed on herself as tears flooded her eyes.

"Hey...what's up?" I muttered now in a serious tone as I looked at my entire group, my hand instinctively traveled to the hilt of my sword as I looked at them.

"P-Paul...f-forward" Roxy said with a squeak as sweat poured from her forehead.

Now totally confused I looked in front of me only to find fog...

"But there's nothing..." I muttered as I tried to focus on what was in front of me until I saw two silhouettes...

Instantly the breaths of my group seemed to catch in unison, Roxy put her staff in position and Laws began to prepare an arrow with trembling hands.

They were two people, both on foot, I couldn't tell them apart because of the fog but even I could feel a bad feeling.

I held the pommel of my sword tighter and drew it halfway, ready to draw it at any moment and began to advance slowly.

"h-hey!! Where are you going!!!" Roxy screamed loudly but didn't move from her place, I could see how her legs were shaking uncontrollably just like Laws...

I frowned and looked in front of me again and the two silhouettes became clear.

It was a man and a woman, the man wore a simple white robe and his hair was silver and he also exuded a rather strong murderous aura...

The woman on the other hand was a girl of around 150 centimeters with long black hair and wearing a white mask without decorations with two simple slits for her eyes which gave her a mysterious aura.

As the man came closer and closer, Laws and Roxy began to take steps back as they stared at me in astonishment.

The silver-haired man must have been at least 190 centimeters tall, and despite his relaxed stance, I couldn't find any opening to attack...

The two people walked slowly, unfazed by our reactions, until they were right next to us.

I put myself on half guard, ready to attack with a long sword of ligth at any moment, But the man didn't seem to be bothered by my stance, or so I thought.

He just looked at me out of the corner of his eye and... he stopped instantly.

He turned his neck slightly and looked me up and down, then looked at my group and frowned.

His gaze sent a chill down my spine but I still looked into his eyes ready to attack.

"Paul Notos Greyrat....what are you doing here?...you still shouldn't have left the Greyrat mansion" the man's voice echoed through the place and my instincts were immediately activated.

This guy knows me!!

"...I don't know what you mean, but in case you didn't know, Ars was completely destroyed and all the inhabitants were randomly teleported," I declared while looking at him.

The man just frowned more and looked at my group.

"Roxy Migurdia...Laws DragonRodad...Hilda Zephyrus Greyrat...Lilia and Flute Greyrat...None of you should be here...not yet," the man muttered and clenched his fists tightly.

"h-how the hell do you know my name!!?" Laws was the first to scream and pointed his bow at the man.

"How do you know mine is too!!!" Roxy shouted back and her staff glowed as she gathered her mana.

But the man seemed unfazed by all this, even seemed lost in his own train of thought.

"Will you do something about it?..." The masked woman spoke for the first time as she looked at the silver-haired man.

"No...this loop is already lost after all" the man muttered as he looked at me again.

"How do you know about all of us?!" I said and unsheathed my sword pointing it at him.

"I don't know them," he replied calmly.

"Oh yeah? So what was all that shit? Like we're not supposed to be here yet?!" I said and started to slowly advance towards the man.

"You don't need to know that Paul Notos Greyrat" was all he said and seeing my intentions he took his hands out of his tunic and kept his fists closed while he stared at me so I did the same.

"I see...you're looking into my eyes," the man muttered, his eyes narrowed.

"Can't I? You come around saying all that bullshit about loops and nonsense and you worry about that?!" I declared, I was already a couple of meters away from him and the woman with the white mask got behind him.

"I see...you're braver than the Paul Notos Greyrat I know" the man said and I could feel a vein forming and popping on my forehead.

"What shit does that mean?!, You don't know anything about me! Who are you !!" I shouted strongly as I approached him.

The man squeezed his fists and stared at me.

"Orsted ..." He said dryly.

"Well...Orsted, tell me how you hell you know us all unless you want to say goodbye to your head right now!!" I shout and graze me slightly totally ready to attack.

"P-Paul return here now!!" Roxy shouted strongly, I could see what she tried to walk towards me but was completely stuck in her place.

This is strange... why are everyone acting like this around him?!

"You...why are they acting like this?...is some kind of curse or something to intimidate?!" I asked confused.

"It's not something you need to know" Orsted responded with the same dry tone that began to bother me.

I frowned, the grip on my sword became stronger, Orsted noticed this and began to raise a hand and the masked woman took out some rings of her tunic.

"!!!"

Without thinking more, I will pay me towards the man and throw a long sword of light to his neck.

The following happened in a fraction of second...

He opened his eyes wide as dishes and his hand moved at a speed that I could not follow and my sword was repelled...

huh?...

Everything was at less than an instant, in less than a blink, my sword was a centimeter from his neck and had teleported to the floor, my body stopped in the same way.

Now I was at Orsted's feet, without any explanation, my attack had been repelled.

I instinctively tense and look up.

Orsted was immutable and looked at his hand and then looked at me and frowned.

"You...Paul Notos Grayrat, you should not be a sword saint" Orsted murmured and his voice sounded almost nostalgic as if something should not have happened.

I instinctively turn back and put myself again in a combat position.

"Bad notice buddy, I can't get stuck forever," I muttered severely.

This guy is tremendously strong...

I noticed it since the first you see that I saw it, besides it is not human ...

"Hmmm so you are a Paul Notos Greyrat different from the one I know," Orsted said and I could notice a sadness in his voice.

"What is supposed to mean that?!, You don't know anything about me!!" I shouted and the man was still immutable.

I looked behind me momentarily.

The womens in the cart were still immovable, Roxy and Laws also with their respective weapons pointing towards Orsted but none dared to attack.

"Thats true, I don't know anything about you," Orsted said and under his hands and looked at me with expectation, as if he were evaluating me.

"Tch...so you won't tell me anything huh?!" I clicked my tongue with frustration and in my left hand I began to accumulate my mana.

Sword attacks would not serve, that way of repelling me is inhuman

I knew that I could never break his barriers that way so I will now have to trust magic...

"Hmmm..." Orsted arched an eyebrow when he saw that he did not advance.

"haa!!" With a fast movement I use Gravity magic and caught it in the place.

"HRMP!!" Orsted opened his eyes wide when he was completely paralyzed and with my right hand and I throw a hollow stone bullet.

The stone bullet broke the sound barrier and crashed on the face of the surprised man.

(Kroom !!)

An explosion occurred in the face of the masked man and the woman created an intermediate range barrier and began to move away from him.

I did it?...no!

"HMMP!!" With a movement of man the smoke to him disrupted himself by revealing him completely unharmed, except for one slight cut on his cheek which closed almost instantly.

regeneration...

The eyes of the man now stared at me and I could see the anger in these to the point that he gave me chills.

"Paul Notos Greyrat... You shouldn't be able to use magic..." Orsted Murmured and he tried to move but increase the flow of mana in my magic of gravity and it was paralyzed.

"Nngh... interesting," he murmured and at the next moment my mana flow stopped completely.

"Eh?!" It was like those anti mana handcuffs but now even with my intact hands it was unable to generate a simple spell.

"Even gravity magic... who train you?" Orsted said as he approached me.

It was like death in person, my magic was cut and attacking with the sword would be suicide ...

I am totally helpless before him.

"My teacher is Wii Taa the north king who are you?!" I said while putting myself in a combat position and looked into his eyes, inside I was totally scared but out I was glazed.

"Hmmm yet so, you shouldn't have this power..." Orsted said and I could see the masked woman staring at me.

tch!

To shit!!

I use wind magic to drive me by leaving a small crater on the floor and with all my strength I throw a long sword of light to Orsted, now to its ribs and as always my sword was repelled and I could not realize when or how.

"Tch...haaa !!" But without wasting time I continued attacking him

But every attack I threw at him, he repelled it. He didn't even struggle, didn't even use a sword or barrier magic. He simply repelled my attacks with his bare hand and with minimal effort.

"Haaa!! With my last bit of strength, I attacked, and my sword went for his shoulder, and...

(Clank!)

With a metallic sound, Orsted stopped my sword with just his fingers while staring at me.

"You're very powerful. I never thought you'd reach this level," he muttered under his breath as he looked at me.

"Haa...ha...Rot, lizard face," I muttered and spat on the ground.

"Hmm" Orsted just stared at me, and...

His fist blurred from my vision, and before I knew it, I was already on the ground.

"Paul!!" Roxy screamed and threw a Advanced rank fireball at Orsted, and Laws started firing arrows.

"Hmmp!" But Orsted simply raised his hand, the fireball dissipated in the air, and the arrows bounced off his robes harmlessly.

"Magic without enchantment? Who taught you that, Roxy Migurdia?" Orsted's voice sounded stern, and Roxy shuddered at his gaze.

I was completely motionless on the ground.

What the hell happened to me?!... Ah, my jaw hurts...

That bastard hit me so fast I couldn't even process it...

"Nnngh!!!" I stood up with all my strength and looked at Orsted, who was simply staring at us all in confusion. The white-masked woman, who hadn't moved at all until that moment, approached Orsted and whispered something in his ear.

"Get up, damn it!" I yelled to myself. His blow had completely stunned me, as if all strength had left my body.

"Are you sure? It could be dangerous," Orsted suddenly spoke, and I looked at him.

He was talking to the white-masked woman, and she nodded.

After that, Orsted turned his gaze to me, and I was barely able to stand up again.

"Hmm, okay, but if he tries anything, I'll have to knock him out. His offspring is important," Orsted muttered, and I just raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Suddenly, the masked woman approached me, and I raised my sword.

"Hey... calm down. I just want you to answer a few questions," she muttered, raising her hands in surrender.

"You should answer my questions...Who the hell are you?" I muttered as I backed away from her. The clifth was right behind me, so there was no escape.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you..." she muttered. Her hand traveled up to her face, and she removed her mask, revealing a familiar face.

"!!!"

She had slanted, black eyes... a characteristic that only existed in my old world... an Asian woman.

For some reason, the woman smiled at my surprise.

"Please, could you answer if you're any of these, please?" she said as she took a piece of paper out of her robe.

"..." It was three lines of short words, but the problem is that they were in Chinese...

[You are Chinese?...] I murmured in English, and her eyes widened and she took several steps back.

Suddenly, a smile formed on her face, and she turned to Orsted and then to me.

[No...I'm not Chinese, I'm Japanese. My name is Nanahoshi, Nanahoshi Shisuka] she said in English with a big smile as she approached me.

"Hey...hey! Back off!! What do you want?!" I warned as I raised my sword.

"Huh?...ah yeah...sorry, Orsted! I found one just like me!" The girl said with a big smile and the man nodded and took several steps back.

Everyone in my group was absolutely confused by all of this and I stared at the girl.

[As you can imagine...I am also from another world like you...I know you'll have a lot of doubts about how we met, but I assure you that I'm willing to work with you so we can return to our world!] The girl said in perfect English as I looked at her in complete shock.

She's from my old world...
