RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse-Novel



"Wha!?" Lillia and the girls were confused as to what was going on. Everything around them had frozen. Time had stopped for everything but them. 

"Hmmm…. This form is a bit…." A voice came from above. Lillia looked up at the figure, her pupils almost turning to hearts when she saw the man standing there. In the sky was her husband, the man she loved the most but right now he was slightly tanned with no shirt on. His ribbed muscles, bare for the world to see. It was a sight she loved the most but she found it strange that his skin color had turned a different color. 

"This can't be!? Time control!? I can understand teleporting but stopping time itself…." Ishtar was having a hard time comprehending this. This was something that only Anu might be able to do. But she never even heard of his even achieving such a feat. 

"Hmmm? Where are Mona and Moha?" Blake asked as she looked around. He did not see two of his wives. He wrinkled his brow as he looked at Erica and Sam. Seeing their eyes drift towards the sandworm he frowned once more. He reached out with his hand and extended his index finger and pointed it at the sandworm. "Reverse….."

At his command, the sandworm began to move backward as if it was a videotape being rewound. Within seconds Mona and Moha were both out of the sandworm's mouth and were caught in a whirl of wind. Both were unconscious. "Mina, Erica, Sam, take care of them and protect them."

"Ye-yes…." Erica responded. She gazed up at the man she had long been head over heels for and felt she had fallen in love with him again. 

"Blake, this form?" Lillia asked as she looked at Blake. He was not in a monster form like he was once more but in a humanoid form like normal but with darker skin. It was just his eyes….. His eyes were like a starry sky. 

"Mmm… It's my astral form…. It's hard to explain but let's just say that I am about a few hundred times more powerful than before." Blake explained lightly. He had discovered he could channel his astral energy instead of using mana to create a new form, but it was not easy. It took a few days to get the hang of it. From there, he found he was much more adept at using space time magic. To the point that he could not freeze it for a short time or even rewind it. "Anyway, we got about eight minutes before my time freeze wears off, so let's get rid of these big guys now." 

"What if we set them away? They  run on magic right so if we send them to that desert they should no longer be able to move right?" Clance asked. She was not an expert on necromancy, so she was unsure if her thoughts were correct or not.

"That is a good idea. Undead controlled by a necromancer will lose their connection when the mana is blocked. If they have no means of using magic they will just become large corpses sitting under the sun. We can get rid of them later on at that time." Noa explained.

"Why do my flames not work on them?" Faana was upset she tried to burn the worm, but it was not catching on fire at all!

"I am not sure, but I think the one in control figured out a way to block fire magic of all kinds." Mina came flew over and answered. "Let's get this show on the road, shall we? Sister Clance, you and Blake will need to do the honors." 

"I will do it. I am just glad we can get rid of them without needing to let them unfreeze. While I am doing that, go kill those mages who are controlling the magic circle for the gate." Blake lazily answered and was about to wave his hand when he realized something was off. He quickly turned around and looked at Lillia and Noa, who were about to do what he asked, and yelled out: "No, wait! Don't go!"

"Huh? Why?" Lillia called out in confusion. But no sooner after a burst of energy spread out from the center where the gates of the underworld magic circle was engraved.

*Dong!*  *Dong!*

A bell's toll echoed across the sky. Blake had a bad feeling about this. He quickly waved his hand sending all the giant undead monsters away from the area before calling his wives to his side. 

Gungnir and Loki both also came flying over. "How did it complete!?" Gungnir was confused. Time had stopped but the ritual seemed to have completed.

"I am not sure…." Blake really did not understand. He had frozen time to give them a chance to end things swiftly but now…

"Blake I hate to say it but that magic circle does not seem to be inscribed in the normal way. It was inscribed using souls! Souls are not bound by time. They are harmless entities but they are also unaffected by time so even if you stopped time they…." Ishtar bit her lip. She never thought of that and if she did she would have made her move. She messed up big time!

" We need to seal the door when it appears. How long will this time magic last for?" Gungnir asked. His forehead was covered in sweat. It was clear he was unsure if they would even be able to seal the door itself. 

  "Only three more minutes." Blake took a deep breath. "Ishtar, Nanaya, Gungnir, and Loki, I ask for your assistance in sealing the gate. The rest of us will be your guards."

There was no other solution than to protect those who might have a chance of stopping this gate from appearing. Or at least seal it so that it will not allow anything bad through. Until then, with what power he had left, he would defend them with everything he had. Just transporting the four monsters to another location already took a lot out of him. Even if he and Clance worked together at this time, they would end up draining all their mana and astral energy just to teleport all these reglios and undead. He did not want to black out and end up losing everyone he loved because he was not there to help fight what ever came through the gate if it can't be sealed.
