RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse
chapter-464

"So we are basically stuck trying to hunt down every reglios there is in order to stop them from spreading like roaches?" Tina asked. She did not like the sound of what she was hearing.

"I wish I was of more help. The most I can do at this time is protect a large scale area. A lot of my own power is being expended in keeping the connection from this world connected to the Astral Domain while still keeping my own region protected as well as this city. " Ishtar wished her own powers were infinity as well, but this was far from the truth.

"Don't worry about it. We have ways of dealing with them, so we are not going to die so easily. I am already grateful for what you have done so far." Blake patted Ishtar on the head and then looked at Nanaya: "You as well. You are both new to this world, so you do not need to do much of anything. Take your time and take in the sights. We will handle the rest."

"If you say so." Nanaya pursed her lips. She was willing to fight at any time.

"Blake is right. We will handle the rest. We need to stand on our own two feet. If we continue to rely on your powers for everything, then we will never grow stronger." Lillia also felt that they should not rely on power that was not their own too much, or they would never progress.

"I see…. You are right." Ishtar nodded with a smile. "But remember, Nanaya and I are always willing to help. This family is now our first priority over everything else."

"Mmm!" Nanaya nodded her head. She also felt this way!

"Now that just leaves one thing. What is needed to summon the gate of the underworld?" Blake asked. He needed to know how to stop such a thing from happening at all costs.

"Souls…. One billion souls. The keeg or reglios are probably working on collecting souls. The more people they kill, the more they can gather. If they collect enough souls, they can use them in an ancient spell as a power source to break the seal that blocks the gate of the underworld from appearing in the real world. When the gate appears, the beings on the other side, both powerful and weak, will flood the world, killing everything they see.

"The beings of the underworld are not nice creatures. They kill without hesitation. If you are weaker than them, they will torment you and torture you until you have no will left and then kill and eat you. Some even feed off souls as well. Having a soul ripped from your body is more painful than being set on fire for all eternity.

"The only reason such a place has so many species of beings is because they reproduce fast, so even if you massacred tens of thousands of them, they would not go extinct easily. But the ones you have to watch out for are those beings on par with someone like Anu or me. They are the truly powerful ones and much more numerous than the gods and goddesses of the Astral Domain." Ishtar explained. She shivered at the thought of the gate ever being opened.

"So we can say that even Destiny City might not be a safe haven when it comes down to it…." Blake sighed. He hoped the gate would never open.

Blake finished up his chat with the girls before making his way back to where Bret was and began explaining the situation to him. Right now, there was no place that he knew of that had enough souls to feed the ambitions of the reglios. But if they slowly began collecting them in just a few years, this may be different.

But it seemed that they had ramped up their efforts to collect as many as possible. Blake fell into thought for a moment before making a decision. "I will have Clance send me north. I will help out the dragonic clan, which is probably still fighting. While I do not wish to do this, I have no choice."

"While I wish to say, please don't, but from what you told me just now, it is in our best interest to set up a ceasefire between our people. Are you going by yourself or with someone else?" Bret asked. He did not like helping the dragonic at all, but in order to keep something even worse from happening, it was their only choice.

"I will go alone. There is no need for anyone else to go. Bret, Mike, I leave things to you." Blake stood up and disappeared from the office. Bret and Mike looked at each other and let out long sighs. They both felt like they were getting too old for any of this, even though they had yet to age at all since they had evolved.

Inside the base, Clance had her brow furrowed. "You are going alone?"

"Yeah, it would be best for just me to go. It's not like anyone there can kill me anyway. So it will be fine. I am just going to help fend off the disaster there that will end up making things worse if we stand by and do nothing." Blake explained.

"I know, but still!" Clance shook her head before hugging Blake. "I will send you there but be careful."

"I will. Do not worry. Your husband has grown in strength after all!" Blake kissed Clance on the lips before stepping back. Seconds later, he was no longer standing there.

Blake reappeared over a destroyed city where a battle was still ongoing. Massive craters could be seen all over the place, which told Blake that this was definitely the doing of the reglios. He looked a little ways away from him to see many dragonic in their dragon forms flying around, dousing the land below with flames. He knew they were having a hard time because he could see humanoid figures clawing into some of the dragons that were in the sky. How they got up so high was a mystery to Blake, but he knew one thing and that right now, he had to help them before any more died.
