"WAIT…!"
Drakorin scread for Alex to stop what he was about to do.
"You may be powerful…" Drakorin heaved from the strain of the pressure bearing down on him. "But if any harm cos to us, you will attract the ire of the one we answer to."
Alex looked over his shoulders, his expression calm and collected. The woman was still trapped in his hold, already crying rivers of tears from the fear that ca over her.
"Do I look like I care?" Alex replied coldly. "Regardless of who 'your' supre one sends, it won't change what's about to happen. You don't barge into soone else's ho and demand their submission."
"Also, none of you will be leaving here." Saying that, he turned to Zephyroth who pleaded once again. "Relax woman, you won't die."
The glow of his hand intensified as he tapped into the makeup of the dragon, expertly manipulating her law of self.
"No…!" Zephyroth cried louder as she felt sothing within her being, her very soul, disappear like it never existed.
Here she was, thinking her soul was protected from any attempts to change her being. Unfortunately for the dragon and her companions, Alex shattered that illusion like the lie it was.
"You should still have so strength." Alex tossed her to the side, turning to Drakorin. "At least, at the lower end of an A-Class awakened."
Zephyroth floated in the void, a broken shell of who she was prior. She could feel it; her strength had plumted all the way to insignificant levels.
"Ah…" She cried softly. "Ah…!" Then her cries turn hysterical, left in utter disbelief of her reality.
"Please…" Drakorin pleaded, still trying to get up. He used everything; from his understanding of laws to his own perfected self law. But it always broke down, unable to express its effects.
Alex slowly walked towards the leader, every step taking him more than a few kilotres forward. Soon, he stopped right before Drakorin, staring down at him with cold eyes.
"I'm surprised you guys moved freely around the multiverse with no one being able to stop weaklings like you." Alex said, using a gesture to lift the dragon upright. "In any case, I will be the one to stop you and whoever they send next."
Drakorin gritted his teeth in outrage. Since begging wasn't working, he might as well tell the bastard his mind.
"Fuck you!" He expressed defiantly. "Do your worst. But be warned, Veilwalker. For your blatant disrespect to the Supre One's vassals, you won't live long.
"You may have attained this level of power, but you have never seen anything like the being we serve. You and your lower universe wouldn't stand a chance."
"I'm glad you feel that way…" Alex said, his hand glowing the sa hues. "But in here, I'm in charge."
"Haha…" Drakorin laughed like he just heard the funniest joke of the century. "You think you're in charge? Keep believing that…" A sly grin graced his features, making Alex furrow his brows.
'Just like the woman, he has his past mories sealed. I can only peruse his surface thoughts.' Alex mused. 'Clearly, there's sothing more to all this.'
Alex, of course, was impressed by whoever placed that seal on their soul, but conveniently left shabby protections on their overall souls.
"Regardless…" Alex actually said. "Your journey ends here."
Drakorin refused to give Alex the pleasure of seeing him scream, staring defiantly at him.
'Mm!' He groaned inwardly, feeling his strength plumt faster than he could breathe.
In addition to feeling his strength disappear, Drakorin felt sothing bound to his being.
'So he's not just taking our strength away…He's putting a seal on our transformation!' The realization shook him deeply. 'No wonder Zephyroth looks so broken.'
A mont later, Alex tossed him to the side, walking to the last dragon. Oryndrax, the most beaten among the three, was almost unconscious and wasn't able to sense Alex approaching him. Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire
However, his body slowly morphed back into his humanoid form, and the mont Alex stood before him, Oryndrax was already upright, bleeding all over.
Alex wasted no ti with him and depowered him, leaving him in a worse state than before.
'My actions here today will draw a lot of attention here.' Alex thought, looking at the broken figures of the dragons. 'I'm at the peak of what this universe has to offer, more or less.'
He wasn't worried about not being strong enough. Maybe that was shallow thinking on his part, but that was what he felt after grasping almost everything.
'And the little I got from their thoughts, they seem to have a defined power structure.'
Alex took from their thoughts power structures, the lowest he got being Venerable and the highest being Demi-god.
'But if there was a Demi-god, then there should be God, and that must be the stage where my evolution becos complete.'
"You can co now," Alex said, looking in the direction of the protection sphere.
Cassandra and Zol had arrived on day two of his ruse of dealing with the storm. But he instructed them to stay back and observe.
The two hunters appeared a mont later, looking at the beings floating around. Cassandra shifted her gaze to Alex.
"You know this is going to bring more problems, right?" She asked with raised brows.
"Doesn't matter." Alex shrugged. "They already have their eyes here. Regardless of how I responded, they won't be going anywhere anyti soon."
"What do you plan to do with them?" Zol asked.
"Interrogate them." Alex replied. "There are a few things I want to learn from them."
Cassandra frowned at his words. "Can't you just read their minds? Why the step back?"
"Their 'Supre One'..." Alex made quotes. "... Place so kind of seal on the portion of their soul housing their mories."
"Really?" The Catwoman looked back at the dragons and then back at Alex. "You of all people can't bypass that?"
"It's not that I can't." Alex shook his head. "Any signs of tempering would imdiately erase everything they know. We can only do this the old-fashioned way."
"I see…" Cassandra muttered. "Things will be getting hectic soon."
"And we'll be ready for it." Alex nodded. "For now, I have to check up on a few things and then start my day job."
Saying that, he made a grabbing motion at the dragons, creating an isolated realm of space before putting the dragons inside.
"Day job?" Cassandra tilted her head.
"Yeah…" Alex smiled. "I will be taking a position as an instructor at my old academy."
