Chapter 3

As khel wakes up a ray of light shone upon his eyes, a beautiful light of the morning. He got up immediately, He walked to his window to take a look at the beautiful Mountains and sky islands.

" 𝘐𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥'𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴, 𝘍𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 "

18 years ago, Khel lost his family to the Abyss war. A war between the Celestials from Etheria and the Devils from Nefarius. At that time Khel had a wife named Ermiana, She was known throughout the entire tower as the Dragon queen.

*During the Abyss war*

"Ermiana, fall back to the castle, you need to protect our child at all cost!"

"What are saying khel? I'm not going to hide in the castle like some weak lady. I also want to protect this realm, I want to protect the realm where our child will live."

"But, our chil-"

"Khel, trust me."

Khel was unable to convince her anymore after seeing her determination.

"If that's the case then I'll fight in the front and you just support me from the back."

"Got it. Oh and khel?"

"What is it?"

"Be careful."

Khel smiled at Ermiana as he sets out for battle.

""

As the battle goes on, the Celestials are slowly devouring the Abyss with their overwhelming powers, Until. . . .

"Wow, King draco really has gotten stronger."

Ermiana stepped away immediately after hearing the voice behind her back. She was surprised when she saw who the man that talked to her was.

"Y. . .You're!!"

"Tauriel, how's things on your side?"

"Don't worry your highness, I got this."

"Liberia how about yours?"

"The enemies here are almost finished."

"Your highness, how's Queen Ermiana doing?"

"Don't worry Gemini, she's supporting me from the bac-"

"𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵, 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 10 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥?"

"Yo, Draconis. Long time no see"

"𝘛. . .𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦, 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦!?. ."

. . . .

"Wow, King draco really has gotten stronger."

"Y. . .You're, Ophiuchus!!"

"Long time no see, Queen Ermiana."

"What are you doing here you traitor!?"

"What am I doing here? Hahahaha, of course I came here to destroy draconis!, what other reason is there for me to be here!?"

"If you want to get to him, you'll have get past me first! 'Celestial Enhancement'!!"

"Wow, to be able to pull off a celestial enhancement, that's dragon queen for you! hahaha. But, too bad, you have to die here, 'Call! Soul of Abyss'!!"

Ermiana was shocked by what she felt from Ophiuchus' power.

"W. . .What is that ominous power!"

"Oh this? This is one of the powers that I got from the devil of the abyss, terrifying isn't it? Hahahaha. Oh?, what is that ball of light on your hand? it looks dangerous Queen Ermiana are you sure your body will be able to handle it? *giggles*"

"𝘐'𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯"

Ermiana started to cough blood due to the immense power that's transferring from her body to the ball of light.

"Listen Ophiuchus, this ball of light is the one that's going to destroy you."

"Oh really? hahaha then why don't you try throwing that to me? '𝘵𝘴𝘬𝘬, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬, 𝘐 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘪𝘵'."

Ermiana threw the ball to Ophiucus with all the strength she has left.

"𝘵𝘴𝘬𝘬, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘯, 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵. . . . 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘥."

"*giggles* Hahaha this is not as hard as I thought it'll be, 'SHADOW STEPS'!!"

In a short amount of time, Ophiucus cleanly dodged the ball of light and made his way to Ermiana.

"Hahahaha, you. . . .MISSED!!"

"IMPOSSIBLE!! How did yo-"

*SLASH!!*

"𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘬𝘩𝘦𝘭, 𝘪𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥."

Tears started falling down from Ermiana's eyes as her head separates from her body.

"Goodbye, Queen Ermiana."

. . . .

"Yo, Draconis. Long time no see"

"𝘛. . .𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦, 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦!?. ."

Khel turned around and saw Ophiucus.

"Ophiuchus! you damned traitor, what are you doing here!?"

"Calm down draconis, I'm just here to give you a reunion gift Hahahaha"

"Gift? What gift are you saying? you think I want to receive something from a traitor like you!?"

"Don't worry, you'll love it Hahaha!! Here you go!"

Ophiuchus threw to khel Ermiana's head full of blood.

"O. . .Ophiuchus, w. . .what the hell is this?"

"It's what you think it is draconis, that is wife, Ermiana's head HAHAHAHA"

Khel fell down to his knees as he looks at Ermiana's head. He lost his telepathy with the zodiacs.

"Scorpio, what happened to his highness? He suddenly cut off his connection with us."

"Don't ask me, I don't know eith-"

Just before Scorpio finishes his sentence, they felt a hellish surge of energy enough to incinerate their souls coming from Khel's location.

"T. . .This hellish energy, this is his highness' energy!"

"𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥? 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳?"

"Aquarius, Gema, Iniel, Cancierus and Tauriel!! Go to his highness' location Immediately!!"

"Got it!!"

The 4 zodiacs blasted off to go to Khel's location

. . . .

"OPHIUCHUS!!!!"

Khel's roar was heard throughout the whole realm of celestials. And his hellish energy was felt even in the most innerparts of Constalia.

"D. . .Draconis, what the hell is this!? How did you obtain this much power than me who made a contract with the devil!!?"

"OPHIUCHUS!! DIE!!!!"

Khel flashed in an instant to Ophiuchus' back and Punched him, sending Ophiuchus diving to the ground.

"𝘞. . .𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺!? 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘌𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢, 𝘺𝘦𝘵, 𝘩𝘰𝘸!?'

"Khel you bastard!! don't think that you can just play with me anytime you want!!"

'DEVIL INCARNATE'!!

In an instant, Ophiuchus' ominous energy skyrocketed, And his ominous energy was felt by the 4 zodiacs who were on their way.

"T. . .Tauriel, did you just felt that?"

"Yeah, for sure, that's the one who's fighting His highness now."

"The 4 of you, let's hurry!"

"Khel you bastard!! 'Black strike'!!"

Ophiuchus' attack was about to hit Khel but he blocked it single-handedly.

"Ophiuchus, you're going to pay for what you did!! 'Thunder Blade of Yurua'!!"

Ophiuchus barely managed to dodge the attack but lost an arm in the process. The 4 zodiacs arrived and there they saw Ophiuchus on the ground bleeding.

"O. . .Ophiuchus!!? What is that traitor doing here!?"

"D. . .Don't tell me that ominous energy that we felt earlier was from that bastard!?"

"Aquarius! his Highness is almost out of control! we need to help him!"

Aquarius saw Queen Ermiana's head lying on the ground and tears started falling from her eyes.

"No, stand back the four of you, this is not a fight that we should get ourselves involved to. *sob*"

"Aquarius?"

The 4 zodiacs just continued to watch the one sided battle between Khel and Ophiuchus. Each attack rendering Ophiuchus unable to move.

"This is the end, Ophiuchus!! 'BLADE OF THE DRAGON KING'!!"

*SLASH*

*BOOM!*

"D. . .Did his highness kill him?"

"No, someone rescued Ophiuchus just before the blade hit him. The four of you, go help His highness, I'll retrieve the Queen's body."

"Queen's body? Aquarius, what do you mean?"

"Tauriel*sob*, Her Highness. . ."

"what? what happened to her highness?"

"She's dead."
