Multiverse of Marvel

Chapter 753: The dragon (2)

The struggle was real as everyone. And the body count was rising faster by every passing second. The struggle didn't last long. For hardly 10 minutes everyone struggled. The warriors, Master Guang Bo, Jiang Na gave everything to save themselves and hold on till Goku arrived.

The warriors fought with majesty and valour fit for warriors of any battlefield. But it seemed like this wasn't enough. Because in almost 10 minutes, everyone was wiped away. Jiang Nan was the last one standing and she too now was exhausted. She had killed multiple eaters and even a medium sized eater. But finally she was caught by

"So this is it? This is how I die? The same way my ancestors lost their lives. If only Goku and Shang-Chi were here."

As Jiang-Nan was ready to close her eyes after she was caught by the tentacles of 2 medium sized eaters, suddenly there was a loud splashing noise from the huge lake that was nearby. Jiang Nan rotated her head to look at the lake. Her face didn't look good after she heard the sound. She knew what the sound meant.

The dragon had come out of the lake to save her. But she didn't want that. The soul eaters, could't travel underwater as swiftly as they could above water and thus the dragon, the protector of Ta Lo, who had been on the lake for such a long time, could easily handle the soul eaters.

The emergence of the dragon meant that the protector would now have to try and save her life but that was impossible. She had known the power of the protector for a long time, and though the dragon was a born nemesis of the soul eaters, at the end the dragon was all alone. All the dragon could do was buy time and delay her death.

She would eventually have to die and the dragon too would die in this war. She had lost hope of Goku as the buffer of 10 minutes wasn't enough to call the house of her sister.

"No, Protector, please go back. You are the only one who could guide Goku and make him grow stronger. Please, Goku loves you. He would be devastated seeing you in a horrible situation. Please go back." Jiang Nan shouted on top of her lungs. She was in tears.

She was grateful that the dragon had her in his thoughts but she didn't want that. Goku would lose a family if anything happened to the dragon. At Ta Lo, Goku was closest not to Jiang Nan but to the dragon.

He would definitely go crazy if anything happened to the dragon. But the dragon paid no attention to the words of Jiang Nan and started flying around while clawing and biting at the random soul eaters that came near him. Though his efficiency of killing was superb, it still wasn't enough as the number of soul eaters were very high.

The soul eaters couldn't actually hurt the dragon with its small tentacles, even the medium sized ones weren't much of a deal, but it was a totally different story when two huge ones came over. They looked menacing and whatever they lacked in length as compared to the dragon, they made it up with the body size in width.

The dragon might have been able to take on a single soul eater, but it wouldn't be possible for it to be free from 2 big ones and other small ones that were being used as cannon fodders. The dragon tried its best to reach Jiang Nan and fly away with her. At least, that was the intention of the dragon. When it had sensed that the invaders had arrived, it didn't want to meddle.

The dragon, like others, had been hoping for Goku to arrive but it seemed like he had too much. It was apparent that this was a coordinated attack otherwise Goku, who normally remains on Ta Lo for most of the time, was away with his family outside. The enemies attacked them quickly and efficiently.

And now all the dragon wanted was to leave the dimension with Jiang Nan and preserve the last heritage of Ta Lo. But it seemed like this wouldn't be possible and they would die. Jiang Nan had tears in her eyes as she saw the Protector being assaulted by the soul eaters.

The soul eater that had caught her, held her in front of the dragon. Even though she couldn't see the expression on the faces of these creatures, she was sure that these creatures were sentient and they were taunting her by making her look how their protector was on the verge of fall and there was nothing that they could do to stop it.

The dragon struggled more as it tore down many soul eaters and even gave a bite at the neck of one of the soul eaters.
