Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 76: Hail the Silver Mother

"Colette! Block the door! Quick!"

Brittany, holding her chest which was pierced by a huge black thorn and falling into coma, hurried into the jackpot and shouted to Colette who was following her.

Colette groaned and chopped a coward that was rushing towards her into two pieces with one sword. Her lioness-like figure moved nimbly and powerfully around several deformed demons, and her magic sword pierced their bodies accurately. The emerald green flames ignited their bodies and burned them to ashes.

Without stopping for a moment, she entered the door of the Yorozuya House and slammed the heavy door shut, isolating the demon outside the house.

The cowards pounced forward, trying to break down the door, but their weak bodies were unable to budge, leaving only the creepy sound of their sharp claws scratching across wood.

Colette covered her waist and walked to Brittany's side weakly. A few drops of black blood oozed from the place she covered.

"How is he?" Colette asked casually after a moment of silence.

Brittany shook her head with some regret and said, "The wound is too deep. The magic of the abyss is still eroding him. I'm afraid he will die without the help of a priest."

Then she looked at Colette's waist with concern and said, "How are you? Can you hold on?"

The blonde girl waved her hands and curled the corners of her mouth. She had been wandering alone for these years and had suffered more serious injuries than this. She had become accustomed to the pain.

just
"I don't know what happened to the master."

Colette looked out the window, her eyes silent as water. The number of demons was increasing, especially the big guy that appeared from the portal not long ago. The evil aura on his body alone was enough to suppress her and make her unable to move. The wounds on her body were also caused by the demon at that time.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Suddenly, there were heavy footsteps outside the house. Colette and Brittany looked at each other and saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.

A strong smell of rust was approaching, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer until they stopped near the gate.

"boom!"

A fist penetrated the heavy wooden door, stretched out into claws and fiercely tore the door apart, revealing the ashes floating in the air outside the door and the huge black shadow.

A berserker.

"Food!!" The Berserker patted his chest hard and stared greedily at the three delicious Prime Material Plane creatures in the house.

The devil threw the wood chips in his hand to the ground with great force. The huge force splashed the wood chips everywhere and a cut was made on the girl's face.

Colette struggled to stand up and stretched out her left hand. The armor glove on her hand had been lost in the chaos, but it was just convenient for her to wipe the blood off her face.

"Are you ready, Brittany? This may be the last time we fight side by side."

Colette picked up the sword and laughed, which was rare. Brittany was stunned for a moment, then she also laughed heartily, with a flame burning in her hand.

"It's worth it to drag a berserker to take the blame." Brittany grinned.

The Berserker had long been annoyed by the conversation between the two of them. Anyone who dared to ignore the devil would end up being eaten by him, and the two people in front of him were no exception.

"Roar!!!!"

The Berserker showed his sharp claws, which had been dyed bright red by the thick blood, making it look even more weird.

"coming!"

Colette's eyes became fierce, and she tensed her muscles the moment the Berserker moved, her long sword drawing a graceful arc with her vigorous steps.

Brittany also squeezed out the last bit of magic power in her body, and three scorching red rays shot out from her hands, aiming directly at the demon's eyes.

"boom!"

The long sword slashed into the demon's chest, but the berserker was not affected at all. It closed its eyes to prevent the rays from blinding itself, and swung its claws fiercely in the direction of Colette.

The solid armor didn't hold out for even a second before it was torn apart by the sharp claws. The huge force sent Colette flying and slamming her hard against the wall.

"cough cough"

As the Berserker came closer, Colette coughed up the blood in her mouth and smiled bitterly.

"I still didn't bring a backup."

The demon's huge black shadow loomed in front of her, and its sharp claws stretched out, ready to taste the innards of this delicious creature.

Suddenly, its frog-like eyes widened, as if stimulated by something.

"Do not!!!"

The Berserker raised its claws, trying madly to chop the prey in front of it into pieces, but the next moment, its flesh shattered like a dream bubble, turning into countless dust that flowed out the door.

"What happened?" Colette was puzzled.

Brittany seemed to have thought of something and rushed to the door. Sure enough, all the demons outside the door screamed and slowly turned into dust. This situation was happening to people in distress everywhere in the city of Degen.

A woman who faced a cowardly demon despite her fear in order to protect a baby;
In order to protect the safety of the citizens, the city guards used their bodies to build a human wall to resist the tide of demons;

The priest who stood before the statues in the church and offered his life to pray to the gods in order to protect the faithful;
Those cowards, the demon army, the Flo demons, the berserker demons, everything, in their despair, turned to ashes.

Above the sky, the scarlet barrier became fragmented, and the ashes gathered into rivers, flowing into the increasingly shrinking teleportation array like young swallows returning to their nests. The world before their eyes was twisted and flowed towards the abyss, and was finally swallowed by nothingness.

Everything disappeared except for a silver dragon soaring in the sky.

At some point, a gentle moonlight shone down from the eternal Selûne and spread over the dragon's body. Its huge wings reflected the moonlight, and its fin-like tail shone with the most beautiful light in the world.

The citizens who had suffered so much knelt on the ground, crying bitterly as they looked at everything that was too beautiful before them. They cried for the joy of survival, the sad regret, and the touching feeling of facing this divine scene.

"Hail, Silver Mother, Merciful Selune"

The dragon opened his eyes, and the silver moonlight became his cloak. Nemesis knew.

They learned that there was a force that had been silently helping them. That force came from the moon in the starry sky and the ancient goddess in the Pantheon.

The Moon Maiden, the Silver Mother - Selune.

"Xiaolong, you did a great job. You saved a lot of people." A gentle female voice with a hint of playfulness sounded in Nemesis' ears.

"Goddess?" asked the Volume Dragon with respect. "You helped us?"

"No, no, I didn't do anything except be a chattering parrot in the little wizard's ear." The female voice explained lively.

"Following the command of the Great One, the power of the gods could not descend upon Toril. It was you who saved yourselves, little dragon."

"You changed the original ending of Degen City. The souls of tens of thousands of people benefited from you and were not forced into the abyss. That nerd guy really didn't misjudge you." The female voice said with satisfaction.

"Nerd? You mean?" Nemesis thought.

"Oh, I let it slip." The female voice paused, "It's the one you were thinking of. He has no ill will towards you, little dragon. I know you real dragons all disdain believing in gods, but I sincerely suggest that you talk to Him. Well, just pray when you are free. He is always waiting for you."

"I understand." Nemesis was speechless. A god had been waiting for him to contact him? Couldn't He contact me?

Nemesis already knew clearly what the woman's voice was referring to. Among all the gods, who else could be so eagerly looking forward to the prayers of a scroll dragon?

There is only one - the God of Knowledge [Oghma].

"Your Majesty Selûne, what should we do with the black cocoon?" Nemesis asked. He didn't want to face a new six-armed snake demon by himself.

"Fibonacci is also a poor person. Oh, leave her to me." Selene sighed.

Realizing that there seemed to be some story behind it, Nemesis asked curiously, "What is the origin of this Fibonacci?"

The female voice became a little suppressed: "She is the princess of the ancient Imputu Kingdom, Fibonacci Imputu."

"The princess of Inbutu? Transformed into a six-armed snake demon?!" Nemesis was shocked.

Selune's voice was like the river, telling this ancient story:

"In ancient times, the king of Inbutu was tempted by Demogorgon, the lord of the abyss. He sacrificed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city and transformed himself into a demon."

"A Balrog." Selune said word by word.

Nemesis' eyes widened. The Balrog was not just any demon. It was the highest-ranking demon in the abyss, the undisputed king of all demons. Every Balrog was a true legendary demon!
"The princess of the Inbutu Kingdom prayed to the Earth Mother Goddess Shantia, but Shantia fell into a deep sleep of reincarnation at that time, and she was forced to be transformed into a six-armed snake demon by her father."

"The entire royal family has transformed into various high-level demons. They have set off a massacre in Imbutu. Unlike projections of demons, they are demons that exist in the physical plane of the material world. They have immortal bodies and cannot be driven away by the [Expulsion Spell] at all."

"I spent a lot of divine power to condense an avatar and descend into the mortal world, awakening Shantia and combining our powers to seal the ancient royal family of Inbutu under this land."

"The one in the underground of Degen City is none other than the original princess - Fibonacci."

"Wait, doesn't that mean—" Nemesis was stunned.

"Yes, it's exactly what you think."

"There are more high-level demons sealed underground in this country, as well as the former king, who has now transformed into the Balrog Flame Demon - the "Tyrant of Destruction" Dashandi Inbutu."

Nemesis took a deep breath, and the red-robed wizard's plot gave him goosebumps. Was it the personal conspiracy of the crazy chief of the spell department, or had the entire Cel gone mad?
Awaken a Balor?
Juan Ce Long had to comment that the red-robed wizard was too confident, which led to the wizard being unscrupulous.

After Selune finished telling the story, a ray of moonlight suddenly shone down from the moon in the sky and enveloped the black cocoon on the ground. After about a few seconds, the black cocoon sank into the ground and disappeared.

After dealing with Fibonacci, Selune turned around and continued:

"Well, now let's talk about the important things, Nemesis, about your reward and the responsibilities you have to fulfill."
