Inventors system - Chapter 81: The Last Dragon

While Morana took over a year to save Zoel, only 13 minutes passed outside.

As Acheron and others observed were unable to see what was happening in the trials all they saw was Zoel’s handsome face slowly becoming swollen in black and blue.

At first, they were quite baffled, and worried but when Morana and Zoel managed to break through the first nightmare Zoel’s body returned to its previous state and they knew that the first trial was a success.

“How long did it take her?” Asked Lestat.

“13 minutes and 20 seconds. To be exact.” Said the same childish voice from before.

“That can’t be. The shortest record is 1 hour. Are you sure you didn’t make any mistakes, Aurora?” Asked Lestat with a doubtful expression.

“Mistake? You want to say that I made a mistake?” Asked Aurora as her cloak fell down and she got in a fighting position.

“No…N…No that’s not what I mean. I was just surprised.” Stuttered Lestat.

“Hump. Of course. He is different after all he is my future husband. How can you even compare him to those trash from before?”

Said Aurora with an obvious smug expression.

Meanwhile…

“Fu*k I swear before this trial ends I will go blind again.” Muttered Morana to herself.

This time she wasn’t alone Zoel was also with her.

“Where are we?” Asked Morana.

“I am not sure. It’s some kind of tropical forest.”

“We need to find whoever’s trial this is and try to wake them up, as I did with you.”

“What do you know about the trials?” Asked Zoel.

“Not much, most of it is my own deduction. All I know for sure is that the nightmares will get worse and worse, you are the first person that I have woken up, and if my guess is right, time flows in here and the reality is different.”

“Anything else?”

“When I first arrived in your nightmare you couldn’t see me and I couldn’t interact with any objects at first. It was like I was a ghost.”

Just as Zoel was about to ask his next question they heard a somewhat familiar voice…

“Little one, you are the last one of your kind in order for the dragons not to go extinct. You must take the heavy task of reproducing our kind, and you must continue to give birth until an heir is born, in other words, the fire dragon.”

“It can’t be…” At this moment both Morana’s and Zoel’s expressions turned dark.

‘You know it’s supposed to be a nightmare for Emir not for them. Who the FU*k WANTS TO LOOK AT DRAGON BABY MAKING.’ Thought Both Zoel and Morana as they tacitly looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other’s eyes.

The next second obvious malice floated over the brother-sister duo’s faces as they launched an attack on the baby red dragon near them.

Poor Emir didn’t even understand what was going on as he became their punching bag, constantly thrown around from one place to another without any explanations.

But different From Zoel’s case they weren’t like ghosts this time and Emir also recognized them as his nightmare happened after meeting them.

“Kind brothers please let me go… ah.”

But contrary to what he hoped for, Morana and Zoel had no intention of letting go, for at least the next hour.

After venting all their frustrations they finally let go of the poor dragon who was now swollen to an unrecognizable point.

Outside Acheron and others looked at another person turn all black and blue and once again felt puzzled.

Finally, after venting their frustration the duo started to explain everything, different from Zoel. Emir had no trouble waking up from his nightmare.

Be it the fear of what he experienced or fear of the siblings he couldn’t wait to throw the hot potato to someone else and was more than glad to accept the reality.

‘Glad’ was an understatement, he practically jumped on the opportunity, hence Morana managed to create another heaven-defying record in completing the trial within just a few seconds, giving the expectant group outside one more shock.

Unknown to everyone the true reason why Emir managed to get over his trauma so fast, was because he received a new scarier one that even surpassed his child-birthing experience.

At least as a dragon he still had some dignity left as no one knew about what happened there, but now that he had turned into a personal punching bag for this pair of siblings it was as if he lost his most important reason for life, his image.

Of course, Emir was the only one who thought he still had any face left in front of the duo, but even before this incident, he had none in their eyes.

After picking up Emir from his nightmare the bright light once again covered everything and the trio left for the next person’s nightmare.

This time the place the trio appeared was no longer the forest, but a humid and dark cave that gave off a very depressing feeling.

Seeing the place Emir couldn’t help but shiver.

The cave split into 3 ways.

“Which way shall we go?” Asked Emir.

Morana decided to try out her ‘Seer’ ability to see if she could find out anything, but the moment she activated the splitting headache overwhelmed her.

It had to be noted that due to past experiences Morana rarely felt anything much less pain and this long-lost sensation surprised her greatly.

“We need to split up.” Said Zoel.

Not waiting for Emir’s opinion the brother-sister duo tacitly chose left and right and before the poor guy could even react, she stood alone in a humid and dark place with no other choice but to follow the middle path.
