In the least expected of moments, Richard ended saving the day with his miraculous Anti-Magic Potion! A Special Potion which is made up of a liquified extract made from the scales of Great Dragons. Mostly only of the Viper Drake Queen, the only available material he had at hand.
Originally he had made them to cure some illnesses or even heal curses by canceling the magic that affects the person's body… He only gambled on it, but it seemed to be capable of cancelling one spell per potion.
It was a mighty power, but very limited, and he only had two more bottles left… And he was already out of scales.
"RAAAAAAAH! VERMINS!"
Crack, crack… CRACK!
However, Fafnir wasn't going to stand there and watch, his sharp claws cut through the barriers, tearing the hole, and making it even bigger.
CRAAAAASSSH!!!
The barrier kept shattering, even as Brisingra tried her best to maintain it from shattering. The barrier constantly kept spreading more and more cracks…
"Stop! [Barrier Fist]!!!"
Brisingra concentrated all her Mana into the barrier, as dozens of huge fists started hitting Fafnir constantly, attempting to pummel him down!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
However, Fafnir wasn't taken by surprise anymore, his gigantic body took all hits while barely moving an inch, a creepy smile surged on his face, showing off his sharp fangs.
His scales let out a bit of steam due to the friction of the punches, but no matter how many kept coming, it wasn't even making hi budge…
"N-No, it's not working?!" Brisingra panicked.
"Foolish girl." Fafnir laughed. "Did you truly thought that such a pathetic magic would have an effect on me?! It was surprising at first… However, these scales, gifted by a God himself, cannot be easily destroyed with your petty tricks! Without your precious Gram here, I am invincible!!!"
Fafnir's sharp tail hit the barrier fists, shattering them all furiously, as yet another wave of shadows attempted to devour the entire city!
"You will all drown to my shadows!" He laughed.
"D-Dammit!" Richard quickly was shocked as he realized everyone was once more coated in the shadows. "TAKE THIS!"
CRAAASH!
Another Anti Magic Potion was used, the spell was cancelled!
FLUOOSH!
"W-We have to retreat, Brisingra!" Said Richard.
"B-But… I almost had him…!" Brisingra cried, holding Titania's sword, no matter how hard she tried, its magic did not react to hers.
"We have to run… This is hopeless… Fafnir has been playing with us this entire time!" King Dainn cried. "I-I cannot… We cannot keep losing more people!"
Without realizing, even King Dainn's heart has been infected with Fear from Fafnir's powerful and dark words…
"ROOOARR!"
"SHAAAH!"
"GRYAR!"
More and more Lesser Dragons kept coming into the city, as Brisingra and the dwarves constantly fought them while trying to move further from Fafnir, his red eyes glaring at them menacingly.
"Even with mother's magic and everything else…" Brisingra felt powerless, and even humiliated. "I just can't… I don't want to run away!"
She suddenly stopped running, her aura overflowing with Mana.
"[Starlight Rain]!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
A rain of stars made of pure holy light started falling over the army of dragons, crushing them one after another, their bodies being purified and exploded into pieces.
"YOU BOLD BRAT! Do you desire your death so badly?!" Laughed Fafnir. "I wanted to play some more, but fine!"
Fafnir broke into the city, entering it through the massive hole he opened, and rushing towards Brisingra directly.
"I'll crush you like a BUG!"
The evil dragon raised his enormous claws, swinging them against her. The shockwaves of each attack destroyed nearby buildings, as Brisingra evaded the attacks while floating in midair and flying rapidly.
"RAAAAH [Starlight Shine]!!!"
FLAAAAAASSSSSH!
A massive amount of light emerged from Brisingra's hands, so bright it once more blinded Fafnir, the evil dragon groaned in agony, stepping back in fear.
"AAARGH…! T-That damn light again?!" Fafnir roared furiously, swinging both of his hands at her, and then shooting hundreds of spears made of darkness.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOMMM!!!
"[Barrier]!" Brisingra shapeshifted the barrier once more, putting it in front of her and everyone else.
"Your struggle is useless! Your death shall come sooner than you think! PERISH!"
Fafnir opened his jaws as he charged his Mana and Nether once more…
TRUUUUUUUMMMMM…!
And a gigantic dragon breath of pure darkness emerged like a beam of destruction, clashing against the barrier and quickly spreading countless cracks through it!
Crack… crack… CRACK!
"N-No…! Ungh…! Is everything… just useless?!" Brisingra started crying.
"BRISINGRA!" Her father screamed, trying to drag her away.
"Princess!" Richard attempted to make her recapacitate so she could also escape.
"I've recognized your strength, young girl."
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Brisingra heard the whisper of a certain woman, someone she had never heard before, but that resided, or partially existed within the sword she was carrying around.
FLAAAASH!
Suddenly, the crystal sword floated in midair, reaching the barrier, and transforming it. The barrier changed from its green color to a pink color, and shapeshifted into a beautiful, blooming rose!
"Now, girl, hold me with all your might, and point at that ugly lizard!"
"W-Woah!"
Brisingra was surprised, but quickly nodded, holding the Divine Fairy Spirit Sword, Freyja, and imbuing her Mana into it.
"RAAAAAHHHH!!!"
With a loud roar, the sword pierced the blooming rose, as all the energy that Fafnir was unleashing with his dragon breath was gathered within and then… sent back!
"[Divine Fairy Spirt Sword Arts]: [Blooming Spirit Rose]!"
FLUOOOOOOSSSSH!
TRUUUUUUMMMMMM…!
The power Fafnir unleashed was directly sent back to his face, a huge explosion that hurt his eyes badly, making two of the six he had explode into bloody pieces!
BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
"UNNGGH?! AAARGGH…!"
CRAAAASSSH…!
Fafnir couldn't hold back this power alone, quickly being pushed away into the city's walls, hitting them directly alongside the magic barrier!
As the blooming rose disappeared, Brisingra glanced at the divine sword glowing with bright mana with eyes wide open.
"Y-You can talk?!" She felt perplexed.
"I sure can!" Laughed the sword, with a soothing, female voice. "At first, I really didn't wanted to trust you all, who stole me from my creator… But I've realized your relentless heart is very similar to my lady Titania."
"M-Me?!"
"GRRRHHHHH…! YOU BASTARDS!"
Fafnir, however, slowly started to stand back up…
"H-He's still alive…" Brisingra cried.
"Don't worry, reinforcements have finally arrived." The sword laughed. "Good thing I decided to help you and buy enough time…"
"Reinforcements…?"
Brisingra glanced into the distance, as she suddenly noticed a hue growth of plants, grass, flowers, and trees spread around the entire floor, which quickly reached the city's interior, and spread across every street it could reach.
Rich Mana and Spiritual Energy began to gather around this ever-growing nature, as the ground below suddenly shattered wide open, and from within, an enormous giant made of wood emerged, carrying with himself a bunch of people!
RUMBLE!
"W-We've barely made it!" Titan sighed, looking back at everyone else.
"T-The entire city… No…" The voice of Planta could be heard from within his branches, although it sounded much smaller and younger.
"That damn bastard dragon's done it now! I'm beating the shit out of him!" Rita roared in pure frustration.
"Y-You're back…" Brisingra opened her mouth wide open. "Y-You're really back…"
"Of course we're back!" A little Dryad girl appeared in front of Brisingra, popping out of the ground as she traveled between her underground roots. "And we've brought the materials too! All the Great Dragon's been slain!"
"L-Lady Planta?!" Everyone felt shocked she had suddenly become so tiny!
