Chapter 75: The Death of a Hero
"COME FROM YOUR CASTLE AND FACE ME JÖRMUNGANDR! LET'S FINISH THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL! THE SISTERS OF FATE HAVE GIVEN ME A DESTINY THAT MUST BE FULFILLED!!!" (Siegfried)
Coming from in front of the castle entrance was a bright light. In the sky, thousands of hovering balls of blue and red flames converted into this bright light.
"What you see in front of you are the mana forces of my dead children gathering into one spot. I, myself, do not exist, I lack a physical body, even mana force. I only exist as a thought... but with my children's mana forces, I can obtain my physical form once more!" (Jörmungandr)
The hordes of mana forces eventually slowed down in numbers until the bright light gently disappeared.
"I have returned once again... just for you my dear Siegfried. You said you wish to defeat me haven't you? Well, here's your chance to do so!" (Jörmungandr)
Appearing in the center of the bright light was a tall woman, standing 6'3, having short black hair, a small mole on her cheek, yellow eyes, and scaly armor which was quite revealing. Another design of her was a low-cut neckline that goes down below her navel. Her breasts were quite large as well, giving her the look of royalty.
"Attack me with all your might, and hold nothing back against me if you truly wish to survive." (Jörmungandr)
Siegfried could barely even stand, but with his willpower, nothing could stop him now.
"...Heeeeeeaaaaa....!!!!" (Siegfried)
He ran forward at a slow pace, until the last moment where he accelerated towards her at light speeds.
"...TEEAAAA!!!" (Siegfried)
Balmung was swung towards her head in an attempt to kill her, but she simply dodged by ducking underneath the slash, sending a kick right through his stomach.
"—GUH... HAAC!" (Siegfried)
Her entire leg was through his armor and out the other side of his body. He hung on her leg, dropping his blade as blood viciously poured from his gaping chest.
"...Impossible... I am... suppose to evade certain death... has fate really forsaken me...?" (Siegfried)
Jörmungandr smirked before throwing him to the side with her leg and stepping on his chest, pouring more blood from his body.
"Can you feel that Siegfried? The wound I inflicted on your body has also been inflicted on your mana force. Do you know who I am? I am a creator as well, just like Maleficent, Everland, and the demon king! I created the dragon race while they created their own races as well! YOU THOUGHT THAT THE SISTERS OF FATE WILL ALLOW YOU TO KILL ME?! NO, YOU INSOLENT CHILD! YOUR FATE WAS TO FIGHT ME THIS ENTIRE TIME, NOT KILL ME YOU FOOL!" (Jörmungandr)
"...My fate... was to only fight you...? I refuse to... believe that Jörmungandr..." (Siegfried)
Siegfried gripped her foot and squeezed it tightly with his gauntlet.
"I refuse to believe such a lie..." (Siegfried)
"Stubborn like I said. You think you can save humanity by killing and getting rid of the Ouroboros duel, but that won't be happening a day in your life. Do you know your purpose as a hero?" (Jörmungandr)
Siegfried coughed up blood and spat it out to the side.
"My purpose was to save humanity... and I will stick by that purpose! It's not a delusion as you say... I will defeat you Jörmungandr!" (Siegfried)
The Ruler of Dragons took her foot off of him, crossing her arms underneath her breasts.
"You poor fool Siegfried. You were made just to die by my hand... your entire destiny was to fight me and die, nothing else. Perhaps you were meant to die for a greater purpose, and that purpose was to bring me back from my slumber, where I existed as nothing more than a thought." (Jörmungandr)
Siegfried tried standing back up again, rising to his knees as his eyes widened in pure agony.
"How disrespectful..." (Siegfried)
"You should be grateful, you will die by the one you were destined to fight. Now your road to life ends here Siegfried... say your goodbye." (Jörmungandr)
Siegfried gripped Balmung from the ground as he cringed in pain... trying to stand up once again.
"...No... I will not die... I will... kill you!!!" (Siegfried)
He yelled while trying to shake off the pain, raising his head into the sky.
".....NGAAAAAHHH!!!" (Siegfried)
"You will be sent to Valhalla!" (Jörmungandr)
Jörmungandr held up her hand and summoned a green rigged blade.
"Goodbye Slayer of Dragons..." (Jörmungandr)
She swung the blade... connecting the sharp edge against Siegfried's neck, sending blood across their battlefield.
"What a pitiful end." (Jörmungandr)
His head rolled as his brain could still function... he could no longer talk but only look up at Jörmungandr who approached his decapitated head.
"Hmph." (Jörmungandr)
She crushed her boot into his skull, killing Siegfried. His lifeless body dropped to the ground, headless, while his brains and mana force were crushed by the ruthless ruler of dragons. Most heroes like Siegfried could regenerate even if their Mana Forces were destroyed, but not to the likes of Jörmungandr.
"You stood no chance from the beginning, you were chasing a dream that would never be fulfilled." (Jörmungandr)
She walked over to his weapon and picked it up, holding it in her hand as she approached Grimhild and Merlin far away.
"So you managed to take down my most prized possession have you Grimhild?" (Jörmungandr)
"....." (Grimhild)
Grimhild sat there, quietly, looking down into her teacup at her reflection.
"So the gods have lied to us once again..." (Grimhild)
Jörmungandr eventually stopped a few meters away from Grimhild, holding two swords in her hand.
"Indeed they have. They're unpredictable, aren't they? They manipulated Siegfried into thinking that he will save humanity by killing me and that it was his destiny to do so. But in reality, his destiny was to fight me and die, so I could awaken from my slumber, I realized that once I saw him having trouble battling against my children and Merlin as well, clearly weakening him enough for Siegfried to die." (Jörmungandr)
Grimhild took another sip of her tea as Merlin was underneath her, still struggling to keep herself up.
"...It's sad... I met Siegfried a while ago when he was a little boy, but I met him in a different body. One I was using to hide my identity... though I realized doing that was useless since no one has really seen me in person, knowing I was a witch." (Grimhild)
Grimhild smirked as she reminisced old times.
"...So what will you do now, Jörmungandr? The Sisters of Fate seems to be on your side..." (Grimhild)
Jörmungandr nodded her head.
"Indeed they are, why would the god's side with a "human hero" and give him the destiny to defeat a more superior race such as I?" (Jörmungandr)
The Dragon Ruler turned around and glanced at her magnificent castle in the distance.
"I will recreate my castle, and also give my race humanoid bodies they can freely transform into and walk among the people. I wish to expand my dragons and evolve them into superior beings. That has always been my goal... but it was hard to do with humanity finding ways to kill my dragons and use their corpses as food! They even killed my dragons for fun... so I decided to use their own evil against them as a way to embarrass them." (Jörmungandr)
Grimhild closed her eyes, finally getting something.
"So that's why you created the Ouroboros duel? Your entire purpose was to take advantage of the chaotic nature of humans and make them fight in duels of greed and power, seeing them kill their own kind for riches and strength. You only wished to embarrass their race and make other races hate them. That was your entire purpose..." (Grimhild)
Jörmungandr nodded her head.
"Yes, indeed it was. I simply lied about the humans being an experimental race, I only said those words to anger, Siegfried, even more, and make his hatred fuel me with more satisfaction for when I kill him!" (Jörmungandr)
Grimhild turned around and summoned a magical circle in front of her.
"You think like a witch, Jörmungandr... you would've been a great one among my people. But don't think I forgot what you've said and done here today... it will always stick by me. As the witch of justice, yours will soon come as well." (Grimhild)
Grimhild's tone of voice sounded deeper than usual as she walked into the magical circle.
"Now excuse me, I left my friend on the steps, sleeping, he must be up by now, waiting for me." (Grimhild)
Grimhild vanished as she used her teleportation magic.
"Looks like you're free at last Merlin..." (Jörmungandr)
Merlin was still on her hands and knees, bowing her head in shame from her position.
"I am sorry Lord Jörmungandr... the person you just saw was my master... she's the one who's taught me incredible magic and how to use my magic well! I stood no chance against her... but it's only her! If it was anyone else, I would've won." (Merlin)
Jörmungandr snickered.
"My dear Merlin, do not worry. I believe in you. Now then, let us clean up this mess." (Jörmungandr)
