The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

"If this were a game."

"So, who is number one in your mind?"

Richard looked lovingly at Martha.

outside the house

In the already dark sky

The mysterious rune's orange glow illuminated the entire town.

The strange dream-like energy turned into circular light waves, constantly echoing in the horse racing town.

Noisy crowds, lively pubs, loud businessmen

The time in the town seemed to have stopped at this moment, and everyone maintained the actions they had made at the last second, like real sculptures.

They are waiting silently

Destiny comes.

inside the house

Everyone waited quietly for Martha to reveal her favorite candidate.

So does Richard.

Under the nervous gaze of everyone.

Martha said the name expressionlessly:

"First place is"

That name is very common, and it is indeed something a farmer could come up with.

But obviously, that was not the name of the boy in front of him.

"Clang!"

There was a sound, like a heavy hammer, and Richard seemed to have been hit by an invisible blow.

He stumbled backwards and hit the ground. His face that was originally rosy from his confession instantly turned pale as paper, as if he had lost all life.

It all happened so suddenly and shockingly that he almost couldn't accept it.

At this time, outside the room, the runes suspended in the sky were still steadily emitting bunches of energy fluctuations.

The power that represents destiny almost filled the entire horse racing town.

The orange light was not dazzling, but it was almost impossible to look directly at.

This energy filled the entire space, as if it was tearing apart the boundaries of reality.

"That's right."

Richard held on to the edge of the table, stood up slowly, and said with a sad smile.

As he spoke, bright red liquid began to slowly flow from the corners of his mouth.

Faced with such drastic changes

Although Tina and others in the room were anxious, they were unable to make any move.

Silently, they were imprisoned in place by some unknown force, unable to move.

"Eh!!!"

Suddenly, a beast-like roar sounded in the stone house.

Tina watched anxiously as the blond boy who had originally propped himself up suddenly clutched his chest and screamed in pain before bending down again.

"Ron? Ron! What are you waiting for?"

Tina used the corner of her eye to look at the iridescent dragon waving its colorful wings in the sky, which could still move freely.

She kept chanting the other person's name in her heart, hoping that Ron could help this poor boy.

However, Ron just shook his head and sighed:

"What has happened, how can it be changed?"

He turned around and looked at the strange rays of light emerging from Richard's body, as well as the increasingly dense power of destiny in the air.

"You guys, please hurry up, otherwise I will have to deal with you in advance."

Ron murmured in his mind.

Then, the thin layer of emerald green light distributed on his body to resist the power of fate became slightly thicker again.

And a rune that was very similar to the one in the sky slowly began to appear in the pair of nine-color dragon pupils.

"rub--"

As emerald green light suddenly burst out from Ron's eyes, a light dragon completely transformed by the power of guardianship instantly took shape in the air.

Whether it was Tina and Setsuna inside the house or Dilong Che, Bill and others outside the house, they were all wrapped in the emerald green dragon light at this moment and flew outside the rune barrier of Jockey Town.

That's the power of [Guardian Rune]!

Inside the stone house

"Obviously, I have made all preparations."

Richard lowered his head, gritted his teeth and clutched his chest, large beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Damn it, why, my heart still hurts."

At this time, only Richard, Ron, and Martha, who had been expressionless from the beginning, were left in the silent stone house.

Richard squatted on the spot and calmed down for a while, and finally felt that the heart-wrenching pain had subsided slightly.

He reluctantly raised his head, looked at the girl in front of him, and tried his best to make a smiling expression:

"I know the answer, I'm sorry."

Martha shook her head and said nothing.

Richard gritted his teeth and spoke again as if unwilling to give up:

"But I want to ask, by the way, where am I?"

He looked at Martha with an almost pleading look.

But the other party's answer is destined.

Martha lowered her head in a formulaic manner, "shy" in a formulaic way, and whispered in a formulaic voice:

"I'm sorry, I always treat you like an older brother."

pressed!

As the girl's voice fell.

In an instant, the room became extremely quiet.

The sound of the wind, the chirping of insects, and even the energy friction that originally buzzed in the air disappeared without a trace.

This silence seemed to be a cruel mockery of Richard's heart, making him feel endless loneliness and despair.

"Click! Click!"

The blond boy lowered his head, but countless space cracks appeared around his body.

Despair has its own power of despair, just as hope has its own inability to hope.

Martha's words seemed like a ruthless crack, instantly tearing apart the last glimmer of hope in Richard's heart.

"finally coming?"

"Let me see how powerful the so-called power of destiny is."

Ron looked at the energy shadow slowly appearing behind Richard and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At the same time, the protective power and colorful magic power in his body have been maximized, and countless amplifying magics have been superimposed on Ron's extremely powerful body.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the runes in the sky were no longer suspended calmly, but vibrated violently.

It made a low roar, as if it was about to tear the entire universe apart.

Orange light spurted out from the runes, gathering into a huge energy vortex like a volcano erupting.

Sudden!

The destiny rune that was originally standing in the sky exploded instantly and rushed towards the blond boy below.

In an instant

The wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the sky and the earth lost their color.

Richard's skin was like a broken porcelain doll, and black cracks began to extend like spider webs on his face.

Wisps of red-orange, lava-like light spurted out from his body, forming a looming human-shaped halo outside his body.

This halo emits a strange wave of energy that is intimidating.

The weird thing is.

Even though this happened, Martha, who was standing opposite Richard, still didn't react at all.

She stood there like a puppet, letting the torrent of fate wash past her, turning her body into a ray of light that drifted away in the wind.

Ron silently watched the girl's illusory soul slowly dissipate.

But he didn't say much.

He understands that sometimes the soul is not real.

Ron discovered this fact on the first day after arriving in this small town that did not exist in Karen.

Everything here is of a completely different architectural style than what currently exists in Cullen.

The most important thing is that all the characters here are recorded in a major event in Dragon's Legacy.

Although it is not clear why historical events are repeated here,

But Ron knew one thing.

That is, Richard, like himself, has mastered one of the twelve runic powers of Io!

and

Ron's eyes narrowed slightly as he recalled the distress message buried in the bowl of tofu in the tavern.

"Is there an existence that steps on the rune of destiny? It really makes the dragon look forward to it."

He murmured in his heart, and at the same time, a feeling of touching the truth that he had never experienced before came to his heart.

"Click——"

"Kara——"

As the power of destiny continues to riot.

Pieces of tiny skin fragments on Richard's face, hands, and body were driven off by the energy.

And his whole body slowly turned into an energy human form completely composed of the power of red-orange destiny.

"What's wrong with me?"

Richard raised his hand in confusion, looking at the unfamiliar limbs, feeling confused.

The orange rune of destiny slowly rotates on "its" chest, exuding energy fluctuations that are completely different from the runes of guardianship.

Suddenly, a large number of memories spurted out from the center of the destiny rune and poured into Richard's mind.

Escape, father, small town, gambling, awakening, imprisonment, death.

Scenes of sudden and familiar scenes bloomed in Richard's mind, and then withered quickly.

When the dusty memory began to loosen, the reality hidden under the prophecy finally emerged fully again.

And "it"

I finally understood everything again.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Under the riot of the power of fate

Like a volcano erupting, countless pillars of molten flame spewed out from the ground, instantly turning the entire Jockey Town into a sea of ​​fire.

The whole world seems to be set on fire

Except for that lonely figure standing in the middle of the sea of ​​fire.

The boy looked at his palm blankly:

"It turns out that from beginning to end, I didn't have to run."
