Chapter 1641 1641. Eternal Prison
"You, mad dragon!!" Suzaki yelled. Broidrireg seemed to have lost all reason.
Suzaki herself had been trying to dodge the golden dragons, but these dragons spread out and covered all her escape routes. One finally caught up and bit her leg.
As it did, that dragon shone brightly and then vanished. The leg where Suzaki was bitten continued to glow. This glow spread onto her body. She felt her body becoming heavier. Due to that, she was having more difficulty evading the rest of the golden dragons.
The other golden dragons bit her, one by one. Like the first one, they also disappeared after biting their targets, but their glow remained.
Suzaki felt her life sipping as this glow spread all over her body. Damage numbers continued to pop up on her head. She also found her body to be so heavy that she couldn't fly properly.
Broidrireg arrived before her and his powerful tail swiped down from above. She was smacked hard and crashed into the ground like a speeding meteor. She was unable to push herself back up after that.
Broidrireg landed before her while her HP continued to decrease. She already lost all strength after using her giga flame burst. She was unable to fight the glow burdening her body. She also couldn't use her Immortal Prison because her HP wasn't low enough yet. Her HP needed to fall below 10% before she could use it. Currently, she still had around 30% of HP. Since she couldn't do anything, she just talked.
"Like I said, all you achieve is just send me to my rebirth cycle."
Spell formation started forming on Broidrireg's hand. "Don't count on it. I have a spell that can erase even the soul. I've never used this spell before but I'm pretty sure it is enough to stop your rebirth cycle."
Rune after rune continued to form. When Broidrireg expected Suzaki's terrified face, he was perplexed when he saw Suzaki smiling instead. This caused his spell-casting to slow. Seeing that, Suzaki said, "Why are you slowing? Hurry up and do it!"
"You want to die?" Broidrireg asked.
"Want? That is what I dream of!" Suzaki exclaimed. "You don't know how torturing it is to go through one death after another only to find yourself back to life again. Repeating the same boring life that seemed to have no end. One can only endure so much."
"Boring? I've lived a longer life than you if you haven't forgotten," Broidrireg said.
"But you know your life will end at one point! I have no such concept. I've even tried getting myself killed but it's always the same. I don't even feel that I'm getting old. I'm exactly the same as I have been since I could remember. I don't have the kind of finality everyone has! You want to know why I agree to help that outworlder? Because he promised me that he could end my life!"
The spell formation on Broidrireg's hand fizzled to a stop. It then dispersed.
"No! Continue casting! Why do you stop? Take your revenge! I have murdered your descendant, twice! This is your chance to have your revenge!" Suzaki shouted.
Broidrireg stared at Suzaki in silence. He then started casting again.
Suzaki laughed in excitement upon seeing that, but then he noticed the runes on the spell formation were different from the one Broidrireg cast previously.
"What is this spell? Why are you casting a different spell?" Suzaki asked.
"I'm taking my revenge, but not by giving you what you wish for," Broidrireg answered.
"What… What spell are you casting?"
"You find it boring to live an unending life in a world filled with people and things? Well… Try to imagine living an unending life in a world filled with nothing."
Suzaki's eyes turned wide. Her excited face slowly turned to worry, before it changed to sheer terror.
"No… No! You won't…!"
"This is your punishment for slaying a true dragon," Broidrireg gave her an unforgiving expression.
"Stop! I beg you! Stop…! Stooppppp…!!!"
Broidrireg ignored her pleading. The runes in his spell formation continued forming. Suzaki could only watch helplessly as her body was locked down by the golden light that was seeping her life slowly.
In her panic, she forgot she still had a way out. She remembered when Broidrireg was halfway in his casting. She quickly contacted Master who had a mental link with her. She requested him to use his Ruler Badge to unsummon her, sending her back to Liguritudum.
Broidrireg probably read her mind or had guessed her action. He cast a second spell beside the spell he threatened Suzaki with. This second spell was completed first. The spell formed a large dome that encapsulated both Suzaki and Broidrireg.
This spell was called Space Lock. It stopped anyone from summoning helpers. It prevented teleportation between the inside and outside of the dome. This included canceling out the town or guild return scrolls. Only recall plates or stronger items could bypass this inhibition. With the same power, it also stopped a summoned being from being unsummoned.
In Liguritudum, Master received a system notification that his attempt to unsummon Suzaki was rejected.
The space lock also cut communication with the outside world. Suzaki tried contacting Master again but failed.
The spell formation on Broidrireg's hand completed its eighth rune and was now forming its ninth!
Suzaki could see now that Broidrireg had no intention of stopping. She shrieked, "Your spell won't be strong enough to lock me up forever!!"
"We will see about that," Broidrireg returned. "I reserve a part of my power to maintain this spell. When it is my time to leave, I will leave your seal to a younger true dragon. When it is his time, he will do the same, and so on. You will remain in captivity until my descendants forgive you, or they forget about you, or when all the true dragons are no more."
"I hope it is the latter! I hope all you true dragons are wiped out of the face of this world!!!" Suzaki hissed savagely.
"Then make sure you pray properly inside your prison," Broidrireg replied. His spell was completed then.
Runic symbols formed all around Suzaki. These symbols were like a shroud that covered her body. This runic shroud became tighter and tighter. Suzaki's body started to deform from all that tightening. She was screaming throughout the process.
The runic shroud continued to shrink until it became a single rune. This rune floated to Broidrireg and attached itself to Broidrireg's chest. It remained there as a tattoo.
