My Dragon System

Chapter 528: The great end
After attaching the last piece of the dragon armour that was thrown by Gary, Ray now felt stronger than he ever did before. His armour also started to illuminate and his body began to glow red.

'I feel so strong, my power has almost completely returned.' Ray thought, but there were still a few things he still couldn't do. Not all of his skills and abilities he had as a dragon had been passed on, and for some reason even with all the power he had, he still was unable to turn back into a dragon. Much to Ray's disappointment, he had to keep his half-dragon form.

Gary, knowing that a fight of epic proportions was about to happen, had decided that it was best for him to get out of there. He also was curious to see what the situation was with the person he had just thrown over the castle wall.

Remembering his training that he had done as a black sash night and the power he had in his body, it was quite easy for Gary to scale down the wall. That's when he noticed the beasts pouring out from multiple black portals and the war going on down below.

Thankfully though, he could see a familiar face with wings had caught Van. It was Martha, and she had successfully managed to catch Van while falling and take him back to safety. However, before leaving she had left behind two people in hopes to finish what she couldn't.

"That's Wilfred and Sir K!" Gary burst out in disbelief as he was halfway down the wall. He could see the two of them fighting multiple beasts? side by side in the centre. Each beast they slayed fell to the floor and bodies were piling up, but more and more kept coming. Even though Wiz was only a few meters away from them, they couldn't get any closer due to the beasts.

'Maybe I can.' From where Gary was he held out his hand and aimed it towards Wiz. That's when he quickly realised that he no longer had his gauntlet on his hand, nor did he have his own sword with him.

At that moment, while in the middle of his fight, Sir K had spotted Gary on the wall.

'What is he doing here, wasn't he trapped in the portal to the other world, but how?'

When their eyes met, he could see that Gary's vision wasn't clouded and instead was thinking of a way to attack Wiz from behind. Due to Wiz's ability, it was easy for him to run away. At most Gary would get one hit, and with his bare hands it would be hard to kill such a person.

At that moment, Sir K had made the decision. He dodged the claws of the strange dog looking beasts with a long neck and a singular eye. He had his two trusty dark black scimitar blades in his hands and then threw one of them high up in the air towards Gary to catch.

While fighting off an attack from the beasts and no longer having one of his blades, Sir K's shoulder was clawed and his armour had been ripped, but he kept his eyes up ahead waiting for what was to happen next.

Seeing the blade hurtling towards him, Gary saw his opportunity and leapt off the wall, grabbing the blade mid air. He couldn't reach the handle so he had no choice but to grab on to the bladed part, which cut through his hands with ease. Gary didn't flinch though, as he knew the pain and all of the blood that would be split was worth it to stop the Shadow.

Grabbing the sword firmly with both hands, he fell upon Wiz and dug the sword through the top of his head, also slicing his hands at the same time. However, when he let go of the sword and looked up, Wiz's body fell to the ground and the portals had closed.

The grand mage Wiz had been slain and now beasts were no longer pouring from the portals, the end of the war was in sight. With the number of beasts dwindling, Sir K and Wilfred could pace themselves through the remaining few. Above, Gary could hear the sound of wings flapping as Martha landed next to him.

"You did a good job, and welcome back." Martha said with a smile, placing him on her back and flying away.

"Wait, what about Ray!" Gary shouted, but looked back and could see a large dragon on top of the tower on one side, and a human shaped figure flying with red wings and holding a sword on the other.

"Can't you feel that power, even the beasts can. It's safer if we get away from here and let him do his own thing." Martha said.

Such power was radiating from the two beings in the air that the beasts that were closest to the castle started to run off, doing anything they could so they wouldn't be absorbed and consumed by the powers.

The fighting below was starting to slow down but there was still one more fight until the war was over.

Martha had successfully brought back Gary to the Redwing leaders along with everyone else.

"Is that Ray, is he really going to go up against that dragon?" Katie asked.

"Remember that Ray is a dragon as well." Lenny said.

"Yes, and not just any dragon. The strongest dragon that has ever existed, the Great red dragon Sen." Martha added.

"Still, Ray isn't a dragon right now right, he's weaker than he was before, and the shadow, who would have thought it was a dragon all along, can he really win?" Katie wondered, and she wasn't the only one. There were a few others that doubted if Ray could win.

"Ray will win this fight.'' Jack said. "He has always succeeded in everything he has done, that's why all of us chose to follow him, right? The only thing we can do now is watch, watch him defeat the Shadow once and for all."

Ray's wings continued to flap away and his face looked unworried. Even without all of his abilities he had in the past he still had the same power.

"Sen, do you really love humans that much?" Krad shouted. "Have you fallen in love with them so much that you now have chosen a human form over that of a dragon!"

Ray didn't reply to his taunt, he knew it was useless. How many lives and good people had died because of the shadow? At one point, Ray could have also gone down this dark path, and he could see that Krad couldn't be saved.

"It is with regret that I have to be the one to kill the real last dragon." Ray said as he dived straight toward Krad.

Ray was fast and agile, the dragon attempted to chase him with his shadow and also tried to hit him with his tail, but Ray's swift movements made it impossible to catch him. However, whenever Ray striked with the dragon sword, the shadow would always move to block the attack on Krad's body.

Even with all his strength, it meant nothing if he couldn't even hit the dragon. That's when Ray set his eyes upon the sword, the strange sword that was left behind by Gary that could negate certain powers, and it seemed to work with the shadow as well.

Diving forward and flying as fast as he could, Ray went through a narrow gap in the great dragon's wings and reached the strange sword, taking it out from the ground. Krad the dragon was confident that there was nothing that could harm him, so confident that he had attempted to bite down on Ray, but instead the strange sword was thrusted into the bottom of the dragon's jaw and cut through into its mouth.

"I'm sorry young dragon, if only I had done a better job at protecting you all. I won't make the same mistake with them." Ray said, as he gathered all the energy he could into his dragon sword. The gem inside the sword lit up and the aura around it could be seen, making it appear three times bigger than it was.

Swinging downward, Ray had sliced at the dragon's head, and a red line was seen going through the whole of Krad's body.

At that moment, the dragon's skin started to fade and it's body started to shiver up slightly, as Krad's life was coming to an end.
