The Bored Immortal

Viktor found himself being wrapped by an ethereal silver layer that was helping him stay afloat in the air, while Seraphina was only holding his hand as she flew towards the Blackmere Forest.

She wasn't used to flying so fast, and her heart was beating more rapidly than ever before.

"Try to slow them down if you can," Viktor instructed, and Seraphina nodded as she waved her fingers in the air, silver dust spreading away from her hands.

The silver dust immediately spread and scattered around the men flying on their beasts in the skies.

Orgaz immediately swooped down quickly to avoid the silver dust while the others couldn't manage to get away quick enough.

They thought this silver dust was something dangerous, but the moment the dust breezed over their face, their expressions relaxed while their eyes became glassy.

Their lips slowly began to curve into happy, blissful smiles as if they were seeing something pleasant in front of them. The wild beasts they were riding stopped flying forward as the ones riding them seemed to have suddenly stopped instructing them.

It was as if all of them were having a pleasant dream that was making them feel happy and at peace like never before.

Viktor twisted his neck around, only to have his eyes widen upon seeing all those men remaining stationary in the air.

'Whew...Did she just stun all those guards?' Viktor was impressed by Seraphina's prowess and was finding it a pity that she was always subconsciously holding back her powers due to her pure nature.

He could guess that she was making them all see an illusion...something that satisfied all their desires.

If she was ruthless, those men might be seeing nightmares that would eat away at their souls.

Sometimes he felt that maybe it was best Seraphina was a fairy with such a pure soul, but now he didn't mind if she was willing to break some of her beliefs.

However, he frowned when he saw Orgaz coming up and continuing to chase them.

"You two give up, and we can still settle things peacefully. I understand how wronged you must be feeling, Fairy Queen but trust me, you don't want to make things worse," Orgaz warned from behind.

"Tsk, this guy. He seems powerful and annoying. Can you take care of him as well?" Viktor hopefully asked. It was already a big relief that Seraphina was able to stun all those guards. But Orgaz was the bigger problem, and if he was gotten rid of, their chances of escaping would increase by a huge margin.

Seraphina firmly pressed her lips together as she waved her hands again.

Orgaz narrowed his eyes upon seeing a wave of silver dust flying towards him from all sides.

He clapped his hands together in front of him, sending out powerful shockwaves that scattered the silver dust away from him.

But he frowned when he saw the silver dust flying back towards him again. Realizing that he couldn't get rid of it, he simply closed his eyes as his expression became focused.

He was still flying forward, making Viktor wonder why he wasn't going down. But Orgaz's expression suddenly became a bit contorted, as if he was struggling with something. It was as if he was having a big fight in his mind.

"Dragons have strong mental strength by nature. It will be hard for my illusions to work on him," Seraphin said worriedly, though Viktor found relief in the fact that at least Orgaz slowed down.

"It's okay. We are almost there," Viktor said with an inner light in his eyes upon seeing that they were already close to the Blackmere Forest.

There were guards standing right outside the forest, waiting to catch them, but Seraphina was already moving her fingers in an elegant manner as the men below fell into a daze.

"There is a barrier ahead, but I can get us through it," Seraphina informed as a silver light escaped from her finger and cut through the translucent barrier in front of her, creating an opening large enough for Viktor and her to pass.

"Stop!" Orgaz, who had finally won the mental battle, shouted upon seeing the Fairy Queen and Azu making their way through the barrier just like that. He was surprised that the Fairy Queen was this formidable. Even he wouldn't be able to make his way through the barrier without assuming his true form.

"We did it!" Viktor said with a smile while Seraphina sighed in relief.

"You can portal us back now, right?" Viktor asked when suddenly he frowned as the area around him became darker than usual...as if something big cast a huge shadow on them.

Viktor looked up only to have his brows raised upon seeing a huge thirty meters long blue dragon right above him, high up in the sky, looking down at them with his piercing blue eyes.

Just based on the blue eyes, Viktor could tell who this dragon was.

'Mevron...So this is the true form of a Winter Dragon...' Viktor didn't expect dragons to be this huge. This was definitely bigger than what was mentioned in the books back in his words, and seeing them up close, they surely had a majestic presence. This presence was enough to make anyone feel that dragons were said to be king of all races for a reason.

Seraphina held her breath upon seeing such a huge intimidating figure looming over them, making them seem so insignificant in comparison. With each flap of his long thick wings with sharp icy protrustions, the trees would sway to and fro while some wild beasts in the forest got swept away just like that. The other beasts quickly ran away from the region in fear of their pitiful lives. The last thing they would want was to stand right under a dragon.

Viktor and Seraphina stood still in the air since no matter which direction they tried to fly, one of Mevron's frightening large claws could easily trap them.

"You two have run enough. There is no escape from me," Mevron's deep voice echoed in the area.
