DEAD MAN'S JOURNEY   CHAPTER - 28

I flew and avoided being scorched by the hot flames of the Dragon."Roar!"The loud noise made by the Dragon was making me want to go berserk. "Damn! When will Priya finish loading the laser!"I held the scepter and spun it before the Dragon as blue light shone from it.A large jet of water bursted out and headed towards the flying Dragon at a crazy speed."Roar!"The Dragon breathed hot red flames which collided with the blue cold water forming an explosion and white vapors as smoke.Through the white layer of smoke, a claw extended and slammed on me.I was like an ant in front of that claw as my whole body fell down from the sky like a meteor.With the back facing downwards, I felt the heat melting my white armor.*Boom*I crashed on the outer side of the wall of the second level with a loud noise.Multiple cracks could be felt inside me from many different body parts.It was very difficult to even lift a finger while in the crater on the wall.The scepter which was like a special

I broke my joints off with brute force and rolled down the Dragon's head like a dry log. Thankfully I landed on my back or else a stupid death would have welcomed me with open arms. I crawled on to the Dragon body and leaned on it. "Finally!" Breathing the fresh air, I calmed myself. Yet, I could smell the burned flesh and the blood. It seems my body was really exhausted and I fell asleep there. * * * When my eyes opened, I saw myself in a strange place like a stoned room. Around me, there were six Dragons! White, Black, Almost Transparent, Golden, Blue and Green as their color scheme. My body moved on its own and turned to face the other surrounding Dragons. But why was I so tall… and big? I caught a glimpse of my hands, or more accurately, the claws. My skin color was red. Wait! I am that red coloured Dragon whom I had killed a few moments ago! That means, there are a total of seven Mighty Dragons in the room. My eyes moved and stopped towards the direction of a small

Waking up from the long sleep, I sat crossed legged on the bed.The scepter flew to my left open palm as I gripped it and closed my eyes.My vision soon entered the third perspective view mode and looked down from the sky.Commoners were on the wall tops, they used the cannons to shoot at the monsters which tried to enter the city through the broken walls.The huge body of the Red Dragon in the plain side of the city was very eye-catching.I exited the third perspective view and opened my eyes in the bedroom.Getting off the bed, I took a cold shower and felt quite refreshed.The white armor was damaged to the point where repairing it wasn't an option.I channeled my energy to the scepter as the armor floated in the air.Light engulfed the armor and soon, from the parts of the old armor, a brand new one was formed.It was similar to the older version but had a bit of gold on the white cap connected from the shoulders.Walking down the stairs, I reached the main hall where Raja laid on

I ate the morning breakfast and headed towards the grave hall where the two graves of the Emperor and his wife were.The hall was situated on the middle floor just above the throne room.I walked up the stairs on the left and entered the middle floor corridor where only a single door was present.Opening the door which was sealed by me, with the help of a special key. I entered with an anticipating look and some expectations.The floor of the grave hall was two steps down from the corridor and door height.*Step*My feets stepped on the steps and walked down it as ripples appeared on the water.*Clank*The door to the hall had closed on its own as I glanced towards it.The hall was just as I saw months ago, filled with many shining decorates.The tree with branches made of cold marbles and the golden ribbons giving a final touch.The quiet atmosphere in the hall vanished with my steps moving towards the structure in the middle.The ripples caused by my movements echoed in the hall wit

What will you do when you see the ceiling above you collapse?Of course nothing.Because you won't have a chance.That's what happened to me. I didn't know how but it just happened.My mind blanked as my consciousness left.* * *How long has it been… I can't recall anything after what happened when the ceiling kissed my face.My eyes opened. Blue sky, white clouds that floated without any care just letting the winds take it along."What's going on?"I muttered. My body won't move no matter how I try to stand up.When my gaze fell on my body to find the reason, I was stunned.The steel rods which make the main support for the cement pillars, have pierced me.Not just on, but more than five. Three in the chest and two on my left

I stared at the setting sun from the broken window, it will soon get dark.Since the danger might rise at night, I planned to spend it here.I pulled a wooden table and broke it into small parts to use in making fire.The fire lit the entire room.I sat before the fire and held my knees. Lonely is the word to describe my feelings right now."I hope it's a dream. When I wake up, I want myself to be on a bed."I said with a bitter smile on my face.But I knew it wasn't one. I will never wake up on a bed and find that I was dreaming.My eyes slowly closed as I was tired and sleepy.*Thud*I didn't know when, but something had caught me and was pulling me down the stairs.Didn't I block the door with the sofas?As I looked to see what or w

Now that I check myself, I can say that I wasn't normal anymore.Superhuman strength, check.Inhumane regeneration, check.These two were not the only ones. With some more tries, I learned another ability.Thermal Vision, check.With this, I can see heat which is radiated by the living or non-living creatures.If I am not strong now. Then what was I even before?Sigh… I watched as the sunlight fell on the ruined city.I wasn't tired anymore. Didn't know why.'I guess because I died not long ago.'My leg had grown again from the lower portion. I am now not even surprised.But I was hungry. So I stepped out of the house and went outside with caution.What if there weren't any monsters roaming. No one knows when one might pop up fr
