RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse

"Alright, then I feel reassured. Mike, I need you all to open up a spot that can cover about ten miles in all directions behind this base." Blake was just making an estimate about the forest.

"How about you relay a message back to me once you get a better understanding of how much space you need? Because either way, we can get everything done in a day with earth magic easily." Mike suggested.

"Alright, we will bring coms. Have a man follow us to stay posted near the void entrance to be our messenger." Blake decided this was also the best way. "Also… if we are invading someone else's territory, just force them to submit. Send out a representative of the race that is trying to stop us and have them deal with it. Making them submit should not be a problem."

"Understood." Mike nodded. He had no issues with this. They only needed to make them submit, not kill them needlessly.

It did not take long before everyone was ready. The five hundred man army, plus Blake and the others, all arrived at the void that led to Pue's world. Blake had handed Pue off to Tina, who was staying behind this time. Luckily Pue did not make too much of a fuss.

"Okay, everyone, Lillia, Noa, Fanna, and I will secure the area around the void first. We when you hear us give the command, you can all make your way through." Blake gave out his orders before looking at Lillia. With her giving him a nod, the two jumped through the tear in space. Blake wished he had been ready for the turning of his stomach as he passed through the void. Luckily the transition was only a few seconds before he was met with a smoke filled world filled with fire.

"Hold on, let me put a barrier around this void and set up a magical array to hold it open. Then you can give everyone the okay." Lillia did not wait for a reply from Blake before going about her business.

Blake did not disturb her either as he looked around. He could see the spot where those people had all died. The ground had been dug up and melted on the spot from the monster's jaws. He could not see where the tree of life was from his current location. He took out a drone from his pouch and sent it up into the air. And allowed it to float up into the sky to get a better view of things. Not long later, he was able to get a good view of where the tree was. From their current position, it was directly north. And the path looked quite clear. They would only need to worry about the monsters in the sky.

Ten minutes later, Lillia finally stood up and said: "Done. They can come through now."

Blake gave the order, and everyone quickly passed through the void. Many hunched over and puked due to the strange sensation it put on their stomachs. Once everyone was all set, they finally took a look at the world in front of them.

"Okay, we are heading directly north. Lillia has put up a barrier here. One hundred of you will stay behind to keep guard. If something happens, send a message right away! Our only way home is through this tear in space. We can not afford to let it get closed for any reason."  Blake gave instructions, and Bret quickly split off ten of his men and had them stay back.

On the road, Lillia set up checkpoints with barriers, and each barrier kept fifty men. This was to keep a good grasp on direction. Even with the drone, it was best to secure the area as much as possible.

The people dug in and made trenches and piled up the earth under them to make barriers. While they might be safe in the barrier Lillia put up, they still wanted to be safe rather than sorry. The trip to the forest edge took them half a day Earth time. They did not just walk there but ran there as fast as they could since they had only so much time.

Many monsters flew overhead, but none seemed to pay too much attention to what was going on on the ground when they arrived at the edge of the firelands. Mina and Regia both flew over to the border, where a transparent barrier was located almost immediately. "It's real!" Regia let out a cry of happiness. "It truly is a tree of life!"

"We still need to make it through the forest to be sure. Can we pass this barrier? It seems to be keeping everything else out." Blake asked as she walked over and went to press his hand on the barrier, only to almost fall on his face as she stumbled forward into the forest. "I guess so…."

"I think it senses we are here to help it and not harm it," Lillia said as she walked through the barrier. She had already set up her own barrier around the tree of life's domain and in the front where Bret and his team were going to wait.

"Alright, let's hurry to the center of the forest then. The six of us will fly, so we will be back. Bret, yell if you come under attack by anything." Blake felt things were going a little too easily. While this was good, he still could not help but worry.

"Roger that." Bret nodded as he stood there with his weapon in hand. He looked around with a worried expression. He also felt things were going too smoothly.

Blake and the girls flew through the air and quickly arrived by the tree of life. He looked around before finding a spot to land and stood in front of the huge trunk that was like a few new york city blocks wide. "Hmmm… Is this really a tree of life?"

"Do not doubt, child. I am born from a seed of the Great Tree of Life. "
