Chapter 1273: Trapped
-----
Time within the Domain created by the Skeleton Dragon only became longer and longer, Acorn, Nieve, and Johanna had already been there for hours after hours.
And they quickly began to think that the dragon wasn’t lying, and that he was right! The amount of time between this domain and the outside world...
Was of 1 hour inside equals 1 second outside.
Meaning that they would have to survive 60 hours for a mere minute to pass!
How many days, weeks, or months would they have to wait and fight, only for someone to come to their rescue?
"H-He has to be lying... this can’t... this can’t be true right?" Acorn muttered, his innocent eyes being rapidly turned bleaker in color, losing his hope and innocence. "No... No... Noo! I don’t want to die!"
"Acorn calm down!" said Nieve, she was the only one that was slightly calm. "We have to keep calm and think properly, if you fall into despair-"
"Hahh... Granny..." Johanna started crying. "I’ll die here... I’m sorry."
Even the brute Johanna was already beginning to cry. Nieve, someone much older than Acorn and Johanna’s ages combined, realized how true were their hearts to their ages.
"They’ve given up to despair so soon?" Nieve thought. "I can’t believe this... Is this because they’re much younger than me? I’ve lived... for perhaps over two hundred years after all."
Nieve was definitely not the oldest fairy out there, but her cold mind was what allowed her to keep her cool even in this situation, but Acorn and Johanna, who were much younger than her and also more emotional, were already giving up to despair.
Seeing how things were, and how nothing had changed, what could Nieve do now?
She looked into the skies, noticing the giant dragon only watching over.
The strangest thing she found is that he never fought them.
He only watched.
"That damn dragon..." she muttered, gritting her teeth. "Acorn, Johanna... I think there’s a sure way to get out of here! And I might have guessed some sort of weakness too... But if this theory proves to be wrong, we might end up risking our lives."
"Eh?"
"Acorn? Can you?" asked Nieve.
"I can try!" Acorn ate a small pill, suddenly his body started to transform. "T-This is an experimental pill, and it hurts a lot bug- Ugh...! I... {Divine Winged Beast Form}!"
FLUOSH!
In exchange for half his gigantic size, Acorn gained a huge pair of bat-like wings sprouting from his shoulders, enormous and big enough to help him fly!
"Amazing, you can modify your body almost the same as I can!" said Johanna. "How do you even do that?!"
"A-Ah! It’s all about triggering the different fluctuations of my divine bloodline," said Acorn. "As it is connected to my morphology and my biology, by ingesting different drugs made using the blood and organs of mammals, I can try to assimilate them and-"
"Acorn! We don’t got time for this! Let’s go! Hurry!" Nieve screamed.
"Y-Yeah!"
Acorn and Johanna followed Nieve as they flew into the skies. The flying bone wyverns swarmed them the moment they did, only for Nieve’s aura to easily freeze them upon contact.
And then Acorn and Johanna finished them off with their physical blows, shattering the frozen undead into pieces.
"We’re almost there!" said Nieve, gathering her magic powers as she drank her last Elixir to regain her health, stamina, and mana. "Dragon! Stop evading us! Fight us if you’re so arrogant!"
"Y-You really get on my fucking nerves!" the skeleton dragon screamed angrily. "Fine! I’ll bring you the death you desire so badly!"
RUMBLE!
Suddenly, all the bone beasts below merged together, rapidly turning into aberrant, massive monstrosities made of bone and rotten flesh, a mass of endlessly growing rotting parts.
"GROOOHHHH!"
Its massive claws reached the sky, clashing against Nieve’s aura and shattering it!
CRAAASH!
