Reborn as a DRAGON-Chapter 420: Hostility

"What the hell is going on?" I subconsciously muttered as I stared at the scene before me in disbelief.

The main world was up ahead, still quite a distance away, but with my improved eyesight, I could make it out with no problem. It was, after all, hard not to notice the absolute mayhem that was unfolding before it.

The space around it was constantly illuminated by all sorts and manners of spells. I could see gigantic figures, some as big as the plane itself, battling with each other.

I recognized one of them as the silent Dragon my grandfather had awakened before. The scale of the fight was ridiculous, and in the midst of it all was the plane surrounded by all sorts of shields and formations to protect it.

It seemed like neither side wished to destroy it and were both constantly trying to avoid damaging it. This created a strange scene where the immediate area around the plane was empty, almost as if there was an agreement between both sides.

Further away was where the battles started to unfold. For a few minutes, I simply stood there stunned as I tried to make sense of what I was looking at.

I could see squads of Gods fighting in formation against some Shades. I could see some Dragons backing them up. My eyes were wide in disbelief as I could also see Dragons protecting some Shades, and vice versa.

Magic spells constantly flashed about, and all manners of dead bodies floated about. Dragons, Shades, and Gods fell by the dozen, but the fight continued to rage on.

It was almost impossible for me to tell who was on whose side. Parts of me wanted to rush in and fight against the Gods that attacked the Dragons, only to stop as a Shade would intercept them.

The entire battle was chaotic, and I simply did not know how to proceed. And so I kept my distance and scanned the battlefield for any familiar figures.

Some of the less powerful figures would occasionally slip off from the battle, with a few trying to head back into the main plane. Those who did manage to make it toward the shields and formations protecting the plane were almost always bounced off and unable to enter. Few are able to slip by, but I could see that they had to pay a serious price to do so.

Amidst it all, I couldn't help but wonder, just what exactly started this entire rebellion. How could some Dragons side with the Shades? Just the mere thought of them was enough to make my scales tingle in disgust, and here some were risking their lives side by side with them.

Why?

'Should I just teleport directly to the plane?' I mused.

It was then, that I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. Fighting against multiple Shades was a Dragon with red burning scales. His entire body was on fire, akin to a meteor as he kept the group attacking him at bay.

'Grandad!' My eyes lit up almost immediately. I wasn't sure what was going on, so the best thing to do in this scenario was to stay by his side, at least until we figured something out.

I immediately jumped and disappeared from my place, only to reappear right above another fire Dragon that was trying to attack Grandfather.

This time, I didn't hesitate, my claws grabbed him by the shoulders, and I hurriedly sank my maws into the back of his neck causing him to freeze almost immediately.

Blood splattered as I managed to almost decapitate the Dragon in one blow. I followed after it with a dragon breath for good measure, pulverizing his head completely.

Grandad's eyes widened as he saw me, but instead of the joy I expected to see on his face, it was horror. Before I could understand what was going on, a sudden shiver ran down my spine as an intense feeling of danger engulfed me.

A quick glance at my surroundings was enough for me to almost freeze. The battlefield had come to an almost instantaneous pause, with all eyes turning to look at me.

I didn't know who broke the silence first, but their words reverberated in my mind, as clear as day, "It's the Voidwalker! Get him!"

"It's the Cosmic Pillar!"

"Go!"

"Protect the Voidwalker!"

"Whatever happens, don't let them get through!"

A sudden barrage of orders and cries constantly bombarded me, as I scanned my surroundings in shock and confusion. I turned to my Grandfather who hastily pushed his assailants aside, earning him a deep wound to his back limb, but he didn't seem to care as he ran to my side.

"You shouldn't have come!" He said as he unleashed his Dragon breath capable of destroying an entire planet.

This time, however, the opponents were not so easy to deal with. He barely managed to take out a couple of Shades and Deity before a barrage of shields stopped his attack.

A squad of Gods pierced the Shade formation from behind as they closed in on us. Grandfather didn't spare them a glance as he spoke, "Protect him with your lives!"

The Goddess leading them gave a curt nod and raised her trident imbued with divine energy to launch what looked like beams of light to stop the attackers.

My scales tingled and I teleported almost Immediately, narrowly avoiding a short black hooded figure holding a giant sword in their hand.

I nervously gulped as a scale fell off my neck. 'That was too damn close!'

"Can you run away?" Grandfather urged, still engaged in battle.

My eyes didn't leave the hooded figure as I asked, "Run away where?"

"Damn it, anywhere! They are aiming for you!"

"But why?!"

"Now is not the time to explain! You have to leave!"

I didn't get the chance to reply as my eyes widened with the disappearance of the hooded figure. Once again, I trusted my instincts and teleported a short distance away, avoiding another sword strike.

This time, however, the second I reappeared, a spear landed true on my side, causing me to groan in pain. I turned to look at my assailant only for another Dragon to swallow her whole.

"Retreat!" The Dragon's voice echoed in my mind, but even he was hit by a spell from behind sending him tumbling away, his condition unknown.

I didn't have any time to remove the spear stuck to my side as I tried to teleport away from the battlefield, but something or someone had locked the space around us making long-distance teleportation impossible.

I didn't understand how they did it exactly, but time wasn't on my side. Countless Dragons, Shades, and Deities were trying to get to me, while countless more were dying to defend me.

I turned to look at Grandfather one last time before I resolutely teleported away. My destination… the main plane.
