Chapter 394 To The Castle
Arty tries to reach Erend via her telepathy. She did that for several minutes without producing any results. Arty let out a disappointed sigh.
She knew that reaching out to Erend wouldn't be a simple task, considering that both she and her mother are now in an entirely different dimension.
At first, Arty was reluctant to contact Erend and ask for help. However, soon Arty realized that no matter what he did he would not be able to get out of this situation by her ability alone.
Ultimately, Arty found herself compelled to reassess her decision, particularly given the presence of her mother beside her. She couldn't help but acknowledge that her brother was possibly their only hope for salvation in this situation.
However, she cannot reach him now. Arty didn't know what to do anymore. She didn't know how long they had to be trapped in this place. What awaits them outside this dark place that acts as an emergency shelter? All those anxious feelings piled up and made her despair even worse.
Suddenly, Arty felt the warmth of her mother's hand on her shoulder. "Everything will be fine, honey."
Arty looked up and saw the smile on her mother's face. Somehow, her touch and smile made Arty feel better. A sigh escaped Arty's mouth, at the same time as if all of her despair and anxiety could evaporate. And now, Arty could think better than before.
"You're right, Mom," Arty said with a small smile. "Everything will be fine. I will make sure that we will be fine."
Hearing what she said her mother also felt better. She never doubted her kids even though they were currently in a dangerous situation that she never believed would happen, but Arty's mother knew that somehow, Arty or Erend would manage to do something.
Arty looked around this dark place but found nothing. She didn't know what this place actually was but Arty was sure that this was some kind of shelter protecting her from the dangers outside. About how she created this dark place-shelter Arty still didn't understand about it but there must be some kind of reason that made her suddenly create this place.
Arty tried to recall it. She was able to create this place earlier because she was in danger and really needed a place to land safely and then the rift was created. It meant that this place was created from her deepest desire.
Arty jumped to her feet. "Is it really that easy?"
The girl's brow furrowed in contemplation. Of course, she knew the basic reason she could create this other than by her will was because she had Magic. This strange place seems to be responding to her wish because she has Magic.
Arty tries to do something. 'If I really can create something according to what I want while using Magic, maybe I can open some kind of door to the outside?'
And so, Arty started concentrating.

Erend and Eccar flew to Isadora's castle. As they drew nearer the roars of the monsters guarding the castle could be heard.
"Did you hear that?" Eccar asked with a smirk.
"Yes, I hear it," Erend replied. "I presumed it to be monsters guarding the castle?"
"Yeah. They'll be coming after us any second. Get ready."
Erend saw Eccar's body starting to be covered by a brown layer like earth. When Erend tried to look in more detail he saw that the brown layer had turned into a scale like the one he had.
"Hey, Eccar," Erend called. "What Dragon are you?"
"I'm the Earth Dragon," Eccar answered with a grin. A moment later his face was covered by the brown scales.
'That makes sense.' Erend also activated [Dragon Scale] and made his body covered by layers of black and red scales.
The monsters that had been roaring earlier started to launch their attacks. Some of them even started flying towards Erend and Eccar and some started shooting projectiles of Magic attacks.
All of these attacks had no significant effect on Erend and Eccar. Their scales rendered any attacks that hit them useless, and they continued to fly toward the castle undisturbed.
Fortunately, Isadora is no longer at her castle because she is busy looking for Arty and her mother. So she can't protect her castle.
However, Isadora did not just leave her castle without protection. From under that layer of white slime, something started to come out. Its form came into view after it came out of the sea of slime revealing the figure of a monster clad in five meter tall armor.
The armor was red, almost looking like it was made of hardened blood, and covered the monster's entire body from head to toe. In its hands, the monster was holding a three meter long great sword that was also blood red.
"That looks like a tough opponent," Eccar said with a grin on his face.
Erend turned. "It's alright. We can just fly and pass it, right?"
"Oh, you thought it would be that easy?" Eccar replied.
Below there the red monster raised its sword and made a swinging motion. Despite its body size, it turns out that the monster can swing its sword quickly.
Afterward, a crescent-shaped slash of red energy shot toward Erend and Eccar. The speed of the slash was also extraordinary so the two of them couldn't dodge it.
In the end, they had to take the attack and block it with the power of their scales.
*BOOM!*
A huge explosion was created in the air as the red slash hit Erend and Eccar. A shockwave of red which was the essence of the monster's energy spread around.
*ROAR!*
The monster let out a roar while raising its two hands because it felt as if it had succeeded in crushing Erend and Eccar. But little did it know that an attack like that wouldn't even make a scratch on their scale.
From the shockwave, Erend and Eccar came out and immediately shot toward the monster.
"You can take the big one," Erend said.
Eccar let out his wicked smile. "Fine by me."
Erend activated his [All Fire-based Power] skill and sent a shower of fireballs toward all the small monsters below. While Eccar dived straight at the monster and pulled out the claws on both of its hands.
*WOOSSSHH!*
*CRAAT!*
Eccar moved very quickly and in the blink of an eye the monster had lost one of its eyes.
"Hey!" Ecchar grinned. His eyes were wide open with a wild desire to kill.
He flapped his wings to shoot towards the monster's feet then slashed his claws towards the monster's tendons. Eccar's claws managed to penetrate the red armor the monster was wearing and hit its tendons hard, causing the monster to fall on the other monsters below it.
Erend, who was watching from above, was quite amazed by Eccar. He is an actual Dragonborn, finally, Erend can see another Dragonborn. He felt as if he had met his long lost brother.
While Eccar handling the red monster Erend continued to shoot fire at the wrah monsters below. Several of their attacks hit him but none of them had any effect on him.
