'Let's see if this works.' Lith shapeshifted into his Voidfeather Dragon form, hiding the Abomination side behind the bright violet light of the stars that formed the constellation of the Divine Beast's life force.
Without the Void, the black souls had no way to access the Chaos necessary to turn into Abominations, and with the gate closed, their numbers couldn't increase any longer.
To make matters worse for them, unlike the Tiamat form, every single scale that covered the body of the Voidfeather Dragon bore a rune on its surface, not just his feathers.
The red scales burned with the power of the Cursed Elements and drew the souls inside, trapping them.
'How do we escape?' Lith was dead tired.
Pulling the Void in had saved his life force from harm but had drained most of his energy. He could barely keep his eyes open, let alone stand.
'Good question.' For once, Kalla felt no need to babble. 'We can't Warp away due to the compressed space. Vladion, what about your bond with Baba Yaga?'
'It's still there. I can feel my mother but not even she can open a Gate from such a distance while under such a powerful array. We need to get away as soon-'
The Eyes marked the 100% completion so Lith grabbed the others with his arms and charged at the window.
'It's soon o'clock. Turn into a human or you'll turn into dandruff.' Lith knew that despite it looked like glass, the panoramic wall was still a part of the Golden Griffon.
He took a deep breath, letting the violet light of the Origin Flames burst from in between the scales on his chest as it rose up his neck and mouth.
Then, something weird happened.
The Cursed Flames burning inside his scales and the power stored in their runes joined the violet light, turning it into a silvery color.
What came out of the Voidfeather Dragon's mouth was a blast of silver fire that vaporized the enchanted wall and pierced through the complex array system surrounding the Golden Griffon.
The silver flames remained focused for almost a kilometer and moved as fast as a bullet before disappearing.
'Isn't that similar to what Protheus did earlier?' Solus deeply regretted being looking in front of her with the Eyes instead of at Lith and so did Kalla.
'No time for questions, our ride is here!' Vladion said as a Gate appeared and disappeared along with them so fast that they seemed to have vanished into thin air. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The Firstborn had never stopped calling the Red Mother and the moment the Dread Flames had punctured the barrier, she had come to the rescue.
"My baby! What have they done to you? Are you alright?" Baba Yaga was in her Mother form as she checked Vladion's chest, arms, and face for injuries in a way that reminded Lith and Solus of Elina.
"I'm better than fine, Mom." Vladion replied while Baba Yaga shared with him a small spark of her life force.
She was the one who had turned him into a Vampire so her essence worked better than any breathing technique, bringing his body and core back to their prime.
"We've done it. We have completed our mission and escaped the Golden Griffon in one piece."
"Speak for yourself, you moron." Solus used her breathing technique to check on Lith's condition who was still in his Dragon form. "Malyshka, can you please check on Lith as well? He pulled some crazy shit that might have shortened his life span."
Hearing that name brought Baba Yaga back to her Maiden form before using Sun and Moon to assess the damage to Lith's life force.
