My Dragon System Chapter 327 - The Last piece

Chapter 327 - The Last piece

When Ray accepted the system message, as usual, like all the doors before it. The circular lock started turning and churning away until eventually a clicking sound was heard. Then the two metal doors began to pull apart, and the room was reviled.

"You are just full of surprises," said Mia. "And I have a feeling that we only know a little part of it, if Betty was here, she would be asking you all sorts of questions."

The others were unsure about what Ray exactly had done, which was so impressive. They had never seen a door like this one before. But every time Ray had gone to see the divine being, a door like this was blocking their path. The door was almost unbreakable, even for Ray.

The only known way to open the door was by inputting the code that the creators had set when it was being made.

The room would have been dark inside if it weren't for a single light source in the centre. It was round in shape and on the sides were several desks with books and magical tools laid out. There were even some beast crystals that looked quite expensive out on the table.

But what everyone's eyes were attracted to one thing, it was the big glowing crystal in the centre of the room which lit up the whole place.

"Careful," Mia said as she saw Ray take a step forward. "Betty might have set up alarms in case anyone came through the door."

With Ray's dragon eyes skill, he could see if there were any residue of magic left over. Now he had gone past the steel door his Dragon eyes skill was working back to normal again inside the room.

"Don't worry, it's safe." Ray walked over with Mia and the other two following closely behind.

"I'm here now, what do you want!" Ray said bluntly.

The others couldn't believe it, right now they were really setting their eyes on a G.o.d, but Ray talked to it as if this was a tiresome task.

"I see you have brought some guests with you this time." The Divine being replied. "And it looks like you did not do the task that I asked for."

"I still don't trust you 100 percent. I'm here now, and you said you would tell me everything you know."

"Very well." The Divine being replied. "Place your hand on top of the crystal, this way, I shall see what has happened since the last time we have met."

Ray didn't like following the Divine being's orders, but it was clear that it wasn't trying to kill him. The crystal was a powerful thing. Even though it was separated into three different pieces, Ray could see it contained more power than him.

Yet not once did it try to harm him.

As he placed his hand on the crystal, a part of him felt like it was leaving his body. It pulled and pulled but unlike the last times where Ray would resist, this time he didn't. A part of him floated out of his body and was taken into the crystal.

The last few times when this had happened, images of a future were shown to him, but there were none this time. Instead, images of his last 18 year as a human were all relayed to the divine being until finally everything stopped and it was black once again.

The piece of Ray returned to himself, and he opened his eyes once again.

"Did you see everything you wanted to see?" Ray asked.

"Yes, and it seems you had caused more trouble for yourself than realised." It replied. "I suppose you have many questions, tell me where you wish to start?"

Right now, the voice of the crystal was being projected, and the others could hear. For now, Ray would only ask about the others and would ask the essential questions in private.

"Why are the Shadow after Van?" Ray asked, "Is it something to do with his magic, or something else?"

"First, if you had done as I asked and handed Van the piece of the Divine crystal to him, you would have avoided all of this trouble. The crystal was meant to cover his abilities. The Shadow would have never been able to find him, and he would have been able to use his abilities freely."

Ray then opened up his endless void and pulled out the blue, glowing crystal. The piece of the Divine being that he was meant to give to Van when he first met him. He then chucked it over to Van, and in a panic, Van had just managed to catch the thing.

"Fine, it's done now, but that doesn't explain why?"

"I was getting to that part. As you know, there are many powerful beings in this world, such as myself and others. Some call us G.o.ds, and some call us demons. But what sets us apart from humans is when we die, we never completely die, unlike the human soul. A part of us is reborn inside either an object or even a human. Right now, what resides inside of Van is the power of another G.o.d. The Shadow's aim is to use this power for themselves. I don't know how they will use it, but they definitely will."

The power of G.o.ds would suggest there was more than one, and perhaps this shadow being is a G.o.d himself. If it was also able to possess items, then that would explain what was in the Dragon hammer at that time, that now possessed Gary. But if the Shadow were planning to take it from Van, then that meant there must have been a way to also take it out form Gary.

"If I hold this crystal, will I be able to use my powers freely!?" Van asked.

"Yes, and not only that, that crystal is a special storing crystal. It will help you channel your power and do great things. Van, you play just as big a part in this fight against the Shadow as Ray does here."

Van looked down at the crystal held in his hands, and he could feel it slightly pulsing like a heartbeat. It felt as if the thing was alive. For the longest time, he felt useless, but now he was finally able to do something.

"Fine let's move onto the next matter," Ray said as he pointed at Bliss. "Her, why does she look so much like the divine being."

As Ray said these words, even Bliss herself didn't have a clue just what was going on.
