    "Now, Bedann, Miranda!" Drake quickly summoned his wife out of the Divine Realm.


    In fact, they all had wanted to join the fight for a while, but Drake didn''t wanted them to fight right after having a big battle against the Chaos Dragon Fragment, so he let them all rest, and as a good father and king, decided to take care of things by himself.


    Nheless, he needed Bedann and Miranda''s aid, bothbined together as a Chaos Dragon Titan form so they could absorb Erebus, further growing stronger, something Drake couldn''t do no matter how hard he tried.


    "I''m sorry, but you''ll not be taking over people anymore." They spoke, ncing at the fearful face of Erebus. "[Chaos Absorption]!"


    TRUUUUMMMM…!


    Their chest suddenly opened into a monstrous, draconic jaw that started absorbing Erebus entire body like a ck hole.


    "W-What is this?! W-What are you doing?! S-STOP! AARGGH…!"


    He struggled, trying to fight back, constantly firing Chaotic mes Fireballs and even swords made of darkness. But it was all futile, as he was incapable of fighting against their might once terribly weakened.


    "T-This… to a prince… such as myself…?! Impo… sible…!"


    FLUOOOOSH!


    All of his body was devoured, as he was quickly assimted into Bedann and Miranda''s now shared "Chaotic Divine Realm" which was like their own unique Divine Realm.


    In there, not only the Chaos Spirits and Chaos Beasts they had captured and devoured were there, but now Erebus who found himselfpletely hopeless…


    "W-Where am I?! W-What is this ce?! Someone… you! You lot! Why are you here?! Is this a prison?!" Erebus started looking around in horror and shock, interrogating the inhabitants of that Realm.


    "I-Is that you, Lord Erebus?!"


    "It can''t be! You''re alive!"


    "It is a relief that Bedann and Miranda found you…"


    "Eh?! What?! Relief?! She ate me!" Erebusined.


    "Please, calm yourself! Let us exin things…"


    "He''s just as I remember him…"


    "Roar!"


    Chaos Spirits and Chaos Beasts gathered around Erebus, now as he felt powerless, he couldn''t fight, and was only left to hear their exnations.


    Meanwhile, in the world outside, Drake sighed in relief. Despite handling the situation really well, those chaotic mes put a dent on his body, although he had already mostly regenerated back by now.


    "Drake! Are you okay?!" Bedann and Miranda flew towards their dragon husband in their dragon form, making the scene rather amusing as two terrifying dragons looked at one another.


    "I''m fine, don''t worry." Drake smiled. "I''ve already recovered fully! However, those damn mes were something else entirely… If I hadn''t grown as strong as I am now, I would had probably gotten really overwhelmed… Ariel''s Abilities helped me at resisting the fire."


    By merely holding the divine weapon, Drake enjoyed a variety of buffs and protections into his body, thanks to this, his resistance to these mes had increased a lot too.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    eaglesnov?1,сoМ He couldn''t imagine how he would had handled things if he didn''t had all that protection. He was also wearing Aegir''s ring, giving him even more divine water element protection.


    "If it wasn''t for us you would have croaked easily! Heheh." Aegirughed cockily.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "Well, we didn''t do much… But it seems that by merely holding us, you gain a protection of divine oceans." Ariel analyzed.


    "More or less." Drake sighed. "Now… We''ve got a lot to wrap up. Oi, are you alright, old man?"


    Drake spoke to the giant turtle in the room, the Mountain Guardian, whose body had been left permanently transformed into a more fierce, dragon-like appearance than his much tamer form.


    Instead of a giant turtle he now resembled something like a certain turtle-like kaiju from old Japanese movies about giant monsters…


    "I-I am alright… You must be Divine Dragons! Have you… saved me from the malign being that possessed me? You have my eternal thanks." The Mountain Guardian bowed his head in respect.


    "Oh, don''t worry about it." Bedann and Mirandaughed.


    "Well, you were in a pinch right there. Sorry for treating you roughly, I couldn''t find any other way to push that guy." Drake apologized. "So you rule this mountain or something?"


    "I-I… well, not exactly." Sighed the giant turtle. "I''ve lived here for thousands of years. I merely feed on the rich energy flowing through the ground… Somehow that energy went up through my feeding and made the ce much more fruitful. Some people started praising me as a guardian… I just let them be."


    "Interesting." Drake nodded. "Anyways, how about we meet with the rest? Oh, they''re here already."


    Surtr, Nadia, Mina, and Jamar flew into the scene, a bit toote though, as they found that the fight was already over. And even more, the Mountain Guardian waspletely fine!


    …Although he stayed into his new, monstrous form though. Maybe it was an after effect of being possessed.


    "T-The guardian!" Nadia said. "He''s okay! Eeeh?! He got a new look though…


    "W-Who is that huge ck dragon?!" Mina asked.


    "Is it a friend of sir Drake?" Wondered Jamar.


    "She''s my wife." Drake answered.


    "W-Wife?!" The whole group reacted in surprise.


    Such a huge and intimidating ck dragoness being his wife?! Well, now that they thought about it, it made sense.


    "Hahh… At the end, we weren''t able to do a single thing." Surtr sighed, feeling hopeless. "Thanks for helping us out, Drake! Without you… We might have all died… It is my fault, I had to rely on a miracle like you appearing for us to pull through. I was reckless…"


    "Hmm, don''t push yourself too hard, kid." Drakeughed, patting the much smaller body of Surtr, Drake was like ten timesrger. "I was just like you when I was younger! You did what you could, and that''s what''s important."


    "Drake…" Surtr felt slightly moved.


    "You worked hard, and I saw you doing your best, to the point you were willing to sacrifice yourself for your friends." Drake smiled. "Maybe if I hadn''te here, things would had been different… But I think you all would had somehow survived. I kind of know it, I can tell when I see a group of relentless warriors."


    His words meant much more than he thought, inspiring the hearts of all four of them. Without realizing, Drake was acting like a father figure.
