Chapter 74

The foul dragon body parts stank so much of pure oxmaynatrifin that it suffocated the Enchanted Seven. They coughed and covered up their mouths and noses. When they saw that it was Queen Sharaina who slaughtered the beasts, they were relieved that she was okay. They felt her rich power and were pleased that she got her power back.

"My Enchanted Seven..." She began. "It is time that this war came to an end."

"Tell us your command and it shall be done, your highness!" Commander Ouman exclaimed.

"Along with all your dragons, slay the enemy dragons." Queen Sharaina gave her command.

Queen Sharaina pointed her sword up in the air. A thousand portals opened and out came her dragons. They were all white with golden fins. One of the dragons appeared beside her to her right. It was her main dragon, Velna. Another portal opened to her left and Umandaang walked out of it. Queen Sharaina looked majestic with both dragons on her sides and a thousand flying around behind her.

Meelzib scoffed at Umandaang. "I can't remember the last time I saw you old buddy old pal." Meelzib said to Umandaang. "Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that you would be fighting against me with this witch."

"Things changed the moment you sold me off to a lowly demon." Umandaang growled.

"Oh come on now, you know it had to be done. I had to get the Infinite medallion." Meelzib replied without any ounce of remorse.

Umandaang spit fire. "After killing the demon, I attacked Sharaina and she cast me into the dragon territory."

Meelzib laughed at Umandaang. "Why are you supporting her then?"

"I belong to her none pure therefore I have no choice but to stand by her." Umandaang spit fire again.

"Queen Sharaina, may we attack now?" Velna asked Queen Sharaina but she didn't respond to her.

Meelzib clapped his hands and laughed loudly at Umandaang. "You are a fool to choose the witch over me. You will die with her."

Meelzib pointed his sword up in the air and portals began to appear. Dark dragons flew out of them. Queen Sharaina's dragons and the Enchanted Seven immediately pounced on them. Body pieces of white and dark dragons fell out of the sky. Fire and smoke covered the area. Thundering roars were heard.

Meelzib opened one more portal and stepping out of it wasn't a dragon but a beast of another kind. Velna gasped when she saw it. Queen Sharaina sternly looked at Meelzib.

The beast was a giant bear with four beaming white eyes. On its forehead and a half shaped moon. It's skin looked like the night time sky. It boldly stood behind Meelzib and towered over Velna and Umandaang.

"How did you get the Lunar beast to do your bidding?" Queen Sharaina sternly asked Meelzib.

"You will be amazed at how much the Infinite medallion can do. One minute the Lunar beast imprisons you and threatens to kill you, next minute, it wants to kill for you." Meelzib proudly replied. "I bet you didn't see it coming huh? You thought that this beast couldn't be tamed when you demanded that it returned your husband and took me instead." He laughed.

Queen Sharaina formed a powerful scowl. "Don't you dare mention him."

"Oh my, did I strike a nerve? I'm guessing he hasn't woken up yet. I really did quite the number on him didn't I?" Meelzib mocked Queen Sharaina.

"Shut up!"

"I'm amazed that you haven't remarried. That traitor of a husband you have will never wake up just like your ratchet family will never return."

At that point, Queen Sharaina angrily pounced on Meelzib. The Lunar beast reacted immediately and it missed Queen Sharaina with its paw. Umandaang swooped it off the ground and carried it away with Velna flying behind.

The explosive noise coming from the battlefield woke Britney up. She was confused when she found herself in Alex's arms. She slowly sat up and held her aching head. She licked the inside of her mouth and tasted blood. The memory of Akirexer punching her came flooding back.

Britney looked to her right and saw Escabitha lying on the ground unconscious. She faced away in disgust. She looked to the front and saw Alex Jnr sleeping peacefully under the shade of Petrilan's wings. Britney looked further away and saw Akirexer in Quix's arms. To her surprise, she was unconscious.

Britney held her head as she got up. Alex held her so that she didn't fall. Britney slowly but steadily walked to Quix. When she got there, she got down on her knees and her world blackened. She couldn't sense Akirexer and she was shocked to see that she wasn't breathing. She looked at Quix with inquisitive eyes.

"What happened to her? Why isn't she breathing?" She asked, Quix heard the pain in her voice.

"She returned Queen Sharaina's power to her. Without the queen's power, Akirexer is just an empty shell." Quix slowly explained.

"Are you telling me that she is dead?" Britney's tears fell.

"No she isn't dead. She can be compared to a dead phone battery. Without a power source to charge her, she can't do anything. When a warrior darkas god gets the soul of a human, the darkas god creates a new body for the soul with the help of gamarax manipulators. Once the body is complete, the darkas god puts a fraction of their power into the new darkas god. This is a lengthy process and it takes a year for the soul to completely fuse with the new body. So you see, the only way to get Akirexer back is if Queen Sharaina gives her power to her again." Quix elaborated.

Britney dropped her eyebrows and her lips twitched in anguish. "What happens if she doesn't?"

"Akirexer will be gone forever." Quix replied and got Britney tensed. "As we speak, the queen is fighting against Meelzib. We can only hope that she doesn't fall to him."

The battle between Queen Sharaina and Meelzib was so vicious and epic that it shook the Kremis dimension. The whole dimension was turned into a bloody sight. Kremis retreated underground in fear of getting caught up in the fire. Some vampires that took to the caves were killed due to the explosions that the dragons caused. The surviving darkas gods joined the fight against Meelzib's army of dragons.

The lizard monsters fought to defend themselves but they were soon wiped out by either lightening or fire from the dragons. The Enchanted Seven fought off as many dragons as they could.

Queen Sharaina and Meelzib caused massive explosions due to the clashes of their swords. They were both so fast that all that was seen was lightening striking each other. Queen Sharaina appeared to be in the form of a light blue lightening bolt whereas Meelzib was a golden one.

Four of Meelzib's dragons landed around Quix, Alex and Britney. Quix activated his sword and he stood back to back with Britney.

"Petrilan, your duty is to shield Akirexer, Escabitha and the baby!" Quix ordered Petrilan.

"As you wish, master." Petrilan humbly answered.

The werewolf pack joined the party. Quix nodded at Daniel and they all charged at the dragons.

Queen Sharaina and Meelzib destroyed the Kremis dimension. Soon, even the kremis that escaped underground got caught up in the fire. The fight became so intense that the Enchanted Seven did their best to stay away from them. They all agreed that going near Meelzib and Sharaina was suicide.

Queen Sharaina landed a brutal hit on Meelzib's chest. She cut him again from his chest to his stomach. Meelzib retaliated and cut Queen Sharaina's thigh. If it wasn't for her armour, she would have lost her leg.

Meelzib got frustrated and tossed his sword away. He quickly grabbed both of Queen Sharaina's hands and headbutted her to the ground. He threw a punch at her but she blocked it with her swords and kicked him away. Meelzib's sword reappeared in his hand and he struck the ground causing a quake that shook the vampires out of the caves.

Queen Sharaina lunged at him and the two clashed their swords again. They locked their swords and glared into each other's eyes. Both were gritting their teeth and sweat ran down their faces. The pressure of pressing their swords against each other caused the ground beneath their feet to break.

Not so far away was the fight of Umandaang and Velna verses the Lunar beast. Umandaang and Velna struggled with great difficulty in their attempts to knock out the Lunar beast. Their fight consisted of headbutting, tail whipping, fire breathing, clawing and biting.

Queen Sharaina grew wiry of locking swords with Meelzib. She forced him away. Meelzib swung his sword at her head but she ducked and cut his stomach. Meelzib returned the favor by cutting Queen Sharaina's back. Her upper armor fell apart. Queen Sharaina round kicked Meelzib but he blocked her kick with his elbow. Queen Sharaina back flipped and kicked him under his chin.

She quickly cut off the hand that had the sword and Meelzib landed on the ground with a thud. His blood splashed out and got on her face and chest. Queen Sharaina sank her sword into Meelzib's shoulder and pointed the other one on his nose. Meelzib scowled at her with so much hatred in his eyes.

"It's over Meelzib." Queen Sharaina gritted her teeth so hard that her jaw started to hurt.

"You cursed witch. You are not worthy of the throne. You were never worthy of my kingdom! Your reign is a joke and an embarrassment!" Meelzib yelled at Queen Sharaina.

"My greatest mistake is the fact that I underestimated your cunning mind."

Queen Sharaina raised her sword in the air. One of her white dragons appeared and wrapped its tongue around the sword. The sword was completely covered in oxmaynatrifin.

"I will not make that mistake again."

Her sword came down and off was Meelzib's head.

As soon as Meelzib was dead, his dragons fell dead. Quix and the werewolves were relieved by that. They panted as they looked at the dead bodies of the dragons before them.

The Lunar beast stopped attacking Umandaang and Velna. To their surprise, it was calm and collected. It was as though a switch had been turned off and the beast went back to its senses. Both dragons watched the Lunar beast disappear into a portal.

Queen Sharaina picked Meelzib's head by the hair. Velna landed in front of her and she hopped on. Velna flew up into the air for all to see. She took Queen Sharaina to the highest mountain top. Queen Sharaina jumped off and walked to the edge of the rocky mountain. All her warriors were looking at her with anticipation. Queen Sharaina held up Meelzib's head for all to see. Cheers and whistles echoed across the Kremis dimension.

"WE ARE VICTORIOUS! LONG LIVE DARK STAR!" Queen Sharaina shouted and the uproar increased.

The darkas gods were so happy. They pointed their weapons up in the sky and sang praises to Queen Sharaina. The Enchanted Seven flew to Queen Sharaina. They joined her watching the warriors celebrating. They came out victorious against their enemies once again.
