Halley Wolffer

Chapter 19

Velaydamorte had transformed into a creature that was very alike the Hallower, a great, terrible black dragon that was at least the length of an airliner... She had a long, horned head connected to a very long neck, her reptilian wings were spreading with all their magnitude and her claws looked like great curved swords ready to tear her enemies to shreds.

"You are not the only one that can phase..." the dragon growled, a magical green fire already coming from her mouth.

Velaydamorte stood up to reveal her real height, her thorny tail lashing around while the nearby fighters cried in fear and dashed for cover. Albion screamed orders that Halley could not catch, the Knights were almost defeated as few of them remained fighting and it seemed that nobody would dare to help Halley, she was all alone against the monster...

The Irish Crown had expanded its size to fit the great reptilian head, the eerie blood stains visible by the light coming from the fires all around them-

"Only I can live Forever!" Velaydamorte cried, turning around to hit Halley with her tail.

Halley could not believe just how fast the dragon had moved, since she had barely enough time to cast a bubble shield and take on Velaydamorte's attack. The sheer force of the impact sent Halley flying very far, she could hear screams coming from her friends and then she landed on her back somewhere in the battlefield...

"Mother" Halley whispered, looking at the sky- "Father, give me the strength..."

The beautiful stars had started to fade as daybreak drew closer, but anyway Halley looked at the celestial lights like her parents were up there, like Syrius and Lilac could see her and listen to her words... She was trying to catch some air, but the ground shaking like an earthquake was a sure sign that Velaydamorte was advancing upon her.

Halley rolled on the ground to the left just in time to escape from a fatal stomping attack, and then she scrambled to her feet and barely dodged Velaydamorte's attempt to tear her in half with a swipe of her claws...

Velaydamorte shot a wide beam of green fire that Halley stopped with one of her strongest shields, and after that, Halley teleported a short distance to escape when the dragon advanced and tried to stomp on her once again.

"The Alchemy Crystal shall never be yours!"

Halley raised the Death Staff, releasing a violet lightning and a series of starbolts that scored good hits against Velaydamorte. The dragon's chest and neck took the worst hits, but even though her wings were on fire, Velaydamorte was laughing and it did not seem that she had been injured at all...

"You are the other half of my soul" the dragon growled, her awful red eyes gleaming in the dark- "You shall complete my own Magic, and then I shall be... invincible!"

"I am the daughter of Syrius Wolffer!"

Halley managed to teleport out of the way of another beam of green fire, she came out of nowhere behind Velaydamorte delivering starbolts at her wings and her back, people everywhere were cheering for her and then the great dragon turned once again with admirable speed, her thorny tail hitting Halley before she could cast another shield-

The girl let out a chilling scream, actually passing out for a few seconds as she was flying through the fires and the smoke...

"Get up, Halley!" Looney screamed not far from the fight, Halley crashing and rolling out of control on the ground- "Get up!"

Halley cried in pain as she tried to keep a hold on the Death Staff, but when she tried to stand up she felt like half of her bones had been shattered. Halley collapsed and fell to the ground once again, but then, just when the dragon advanced to attack, she could hear a very loud howl coming from Velaydamorte behind her...
