I hesitated for a brief moment, but trusting my little brother and understanding the determination in his eyes, I complied. With a swift motion, I flung Ynos toward the Minotaur-like Shade. He soared through space like a living projectile, his ferocity matching that of a dragon in battle.
With his head low and horns pointed straight at the monstrous Shade's chest, Ynos rocketed forward with fearless determination. The force of his collision unleashed a ferocious shockwave, causing space itself to quiver. A surge of raw power rippled from the point of impact, creating an awe-inspiring display of might.
Despite the Minotaur-like Shade's formidable obsidian muscles, they proved no match for Ynos's unstoppable charge. His sharp, massive horns pierced through the abomination's chest, leaving a gaping hole in its wake. The force of Ynos's attack sent the monstrous creature stumbling backward, taken aback by the sheer force of the impact.
In a split second, Ynos seemingly vanished, only to reappear on the other side of the Shade's body. I followed close behind, deftly weaving past the massive behemoth that now stood with a look of disbelief in its eyes. The light dimmed from its gaze as it succumbed to the fatal blow inflicted by Ynos's relentless assault.
The sight of my brother's prowess filled me with a mix of pride and awe. Ynos's unwavering courage, recklessness, and fierce combat skills were always a sight to behold. It was clear that his muscles had been trained and honed through countless battles, making him a force to be reckoned with.
As I reappeared by Ynos's side, he wasted no time in flying towards me, and I effortlessly scooped him back up, never breaking our momentum. His face adorned a wide grin, clearly pleased with his recent triumph over the formidable Shade. As the monstrous creature disintegrated into a puff of dark smoke, it dissipated into the boundless expanse of space.
"Not bad," I couldn't help but remark, my own smile mirroring his satisfaction.
"Hahaha! Too weak and still dares stand in our way!" Ynos boomed with laughter, his triumph bringing a touch of lightheartedness to the tense atmosphere that had surrounded us.
The taste of victory filled the air as we continued our escape, putting distance between us and the relentless chaos of the battlefield.
And as we soared farther away from the raging battle, the oppressive auras of the Shades gradually lost their potency, their malevolent presence becoming a mere echo in the vast expanse of space. The tension that had coiled around my heart began to unwind, replaced by a growing sense of relief and accomplishment.
"Get ready, we're teleporting away!" I announced, my voice a firm command to my companions.
Breta and Sidus responded instantly, closing their eyes and gripping my scales with unwavering trust. Their unwavering faith in me brought a sense of reassurance, and I felt a surge of responsibility to keep them safe.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Ynos, ever eager wore an exhilarating grin, his eyes dancing with curiosity and anticipation. He was ready for whatever lay ahead, undeterred by the trials we had faced and excited for the unknown that awaited us.
With my mind focused and my siblings in position, I reached deep within myself, drawing upon the wellspring of cosmic mana. We needed precision and accuracy to ensure safe arrival at our destination.
A problem, however, gnawed at me as we navigated through the unfamiliar space. My uncertainty regarding the distance to our destination deepened my frown, and memories of the arduous journey with Grandfather to reach this very place resurfaced, reminding me of the challenges that lay ahead.
My mind raced, searching for a plausible solution. Teleporting to the last known location before we arrived at Everwyn seemed like the most logical choice. The floating island with the ancient eastern dragon and its army of dragons protecting it served as a familiar and recognizable landmark.
I turned to my siblings and Breta, my expression serious as I shared my plan, "We'll teleport to the floating island where we last arrived before Everwyn. It's a known location, and from there, we should be safe. Otherwise, I have no idea where else we could go."
Breta nodded in agreement, her divine aura shimmering slightly with a sense of reassurance. Sidus seemed to ponder the idea, a thoughtful expression crossing his face, while Ynos, eager as always, flashed a confident grin.
As I closed my eyes to focus, the image of the floating island materialized in my mind, every detail etched into my memory. I reached into the depths of my soul space, drawing forth the cosmic mana that powered my magic. The threads of energy descended from beyond the stars and entwined with my and my siblings' auras, forming the familiar web of interconnected aura between the cosmic mana and our very souls, which seemed to facilitate teleportation.
The power surged within me, and the sensation of being pulled through the fabric of reality enveloped us once again. Our surroundings blurred as we traversed the boundaries of space and time, hurtling towards our destination. Space itself crackled with energy, and the rush of teleportation coursed through our bodies.
This time, however, things were bound to go wrong... The teleportation process felt disorienting and chaotic, unlike any previous experience. As we hurtled through the dimensions, the world around us seemed to twist and contort in a mesmerizing dance of colors and shapes. My senses were overwhelmed, and I clutched Ynos tightly, ensuring that he remained safely within my grasp.
Breta and Sidus clung to my back, their grips tightening in fear of being separated in this tumultuous journey. The flashes of multicolored lights flickered by in a dizzying display, leaving me unable to form coherent thoughts or speak. It was as if we were caught in the maelstrom of a cosmic storm, our bodies and souls tossed around like leaves in the wind.
The relentless pull of the teleportation magic caused our surroundings to expand and shrink erratically, making it hard to maintain a sense of direction or stability. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't shake the unease gnawing at me. A sense of foreboding crept into my heart, and I knew that this time, something was amiss.
In the midst of the chaos, I focused on my companions' presence, anchoring myself to their souls amidst the swirling lights. As the teleportation continued, I silently prayed to the King, that we would emerge from this journey unscathed.
And then, as suddenly as it had begun, the tumultuous journey came to an abrupt stop. With a final burst of energy, we landed on solid ground, our bodies tumbling forward from the force of the teleportation.
