Chapter 368: Bad Ending? (3)

—

How long had it been since she last saw him?

It's not that she had lost count, no, she was counting each day, but she just felt a little hollow when she thought of the big number that the wait had become.

....The Nameless One, Nawab, has been running after power more than ever since that day when he killed her with his own two hands. All so that one day she could break the shackles of her reality and then find him again.

To be fair, she was in the search of any Neji Hado at the start. She just wanted a man with that name and looks. Because she thought all the Neji Hado across her first few regressions were the same. But then, she came across this particular one.

This guy, this man, this peculiar being that stole her heart like that. She was just supposed to spy on him via that clone, Kimi Sugihara, but he managed to claim her without ever meeting her.

After her death by his hands, after three more regressions, Nawab came to fully realize that this Neji was special. There was none like him in the countless other possible timelines.

Nawab, if she wanted to find her love, would somehow have to track him down in his timeline.

Over time, she kept trying. Her hardest task was to leave her homeworld for the first time. As the world's will kept her powers suppressed at a cap, she had a very hard time leaving. When she finally did, her powers began to skyrocket.

That was a thousand regression ago.

...That was two hundred thousand years ago.

In the last two regressions, Nawab finally met him again. Honestly, it was a weird coincidence, when she was in a battle against a White Dragon.

The enemy dragon was suddenly pulled into the 4th dimension, and Nawab could only follow it as she thought it was trying to flee.

That's where she met him.

Breaking the shakes of space, thousands of white dragons were summoned by his call. Amidst them all, she was someone who stood out with her purple hair and red skin.

Nawab was a dragon too by then. She was a Red Dragon, the color of her skin. So when the gathering of white dragons came to an end, she got worried that she won't be able to meet him again — as she didn't receive his call, being a red dragon.

So,

She spent the next two of her lifetimes trying to try finding a way around it.

Finally, she managed to succeed. When Neji called the dragons once again when he was against Rhongomyniad, Nawab was called as well.

She hadn't come out yet, unable to, and then spent another lifetime to find a way to enter the 3rd dimension while in this domain.

She spent a lifetime, but it had just been a few hours for Neji.

The next time, this time, when he called forth the Dragon Domain, she was there. And on top of that, she managed to slip into the third dimension too.

"Stay behind me, you're safe."

Nawab stood between her love and the one trying to kill him.

She wasn't expecting this. A woman of great power was before her. This could get seriously dangerous.

Over her countless lifetimes, she had grown a lot stronger; a lot of times she was stripped of her powers too. One of those situations happened in a relatively recent regression, and that was why she was not at her peak state.
