My Free Will System: Transmigrating Into My Favorite Immersion Game

From the highest towers of the royal castle to the humblest cottages, people abandoned their tasks, and hurried to the streets, drawn by a mixture of curiosity and dread. The sky above the kingdom glowed with an otherworldly light, a beacon that none could ignore.

Guards stood rigid, their usual stoic expressions replaced by wide-eyed astonishment. They gripped their spears tighter, their knuckles white, as the dragon's distant roar echoed through the air. Children clung to their parents, eyes round with both fear and wonder, as they pointed towards the shimmering horizon.

Across Eldoria, the reaction was the same: a profound silence, followed by a collective intake of breath. A dragon, a creature of myths even for a world like Elaris. Most people would go their entire lifetime never setting their eyes on a dragon.

Even if the dragon that soared above them now was not a genuine dragon, it still commanded the same aura a regular dragon would have.

Lord Thane struggled to pick up his jaw as he looked to the heavens, "What in the Goddess name is that?" He said, unable to tear his eyes off the crystal beauty

The High-luminary's body language showed that she was concerned, "Will you just watch as a child fight your battles for you?" She said to King Alaric

King Alaric sank back into his seat, "If you happen to notice, the battleground of those two is up there," he began, signaling to the sky with his finger, "There is no soldier or mage that is able to join that fight, the ones capable of entering such a battle are not in the Kingdom.

The Griffin riders are on a reconnaissance mission and the Archmages are all out of the kingdom, studying and gathering knowledge in preparation for our upcoming battles with the demon kings and I do not need to tell you about our situation with the Sages " He said

The High-luminary frowned beneath her veil, "You're telling me that there's no way we can assist him?" She said

"Basically," King Alaric said as he leaned his head back, looking at the battle above, patiently waiting for the outcome.

Margo held the High-luminary's hand, "He will be fine, I don't know why I have this feeling, but I am confident he will be fine.

And if he doesn't turn out fine, then we'll just have to find the new child of light since he hasn't gotten his blessings yet," She said, in hopes of comforting the High-luminary

"I truly hope he's fine, we've already wasted so much time finding him. We cannot afford to lose him now that we have him. May the Goddess Lira be with him," The High-luminary said, her voice filled with concern

The queen's gaze was fixed on the sky, "Elias…" she muttered under her breath

Elias's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the dragon, but he quickly composed himself. Carius' onslaught of crystal needles had seized

Carius stood at the top of his crystal dragon, huffing and panting heavily as he looked down on Elias. Creating that massive dragon had taken up most of his mana, he was down his reserves.

The dragon towered above Elias, blocking the setting sun's light from his face. The dragon was at the very least fifty feet in height and when it stretched its wings, it seemed to double in size.

Carius commanded the dragon to attack Elias, with a powerful beat of its wings the dragon covered the distance between them, it snapped its jaw but missed Elias by a hair's width.

"Fireball!" Elias fired various Fireballs at the dragon, but they all proved to be fruitless as they had little to no effect on the dragon

"Damn it!" He cursed, "How am I supposed to beat that thing! It's too huge,"

Elias decided a temporary retreat would be beneficial for him, among the spells in the 'Book of Elements' there were only a few spells that could damage a creature of that size and defensive quality.

And amongst those few spells, he had learned a total of one, and that was 'Hurricane Fury'

The dragon chased Elias closely behind, snapping its jaws in hopes of splitting Elias in half with the next snap.

"Stop!" Carius Commanded the dragon after a while of playing cat and mouse with Elias, "We have a much bigger fish to kill. He can't get in our way anymore," he said

The dragon swerved around and began flying toward the direction of the arena, covering the distance with each beat of its mighty wings.

As it got closer to the arena, the king, the queen, Anias, Margo, Lord Thane, The High-luminary and every other person in the King's canopy gulped audibly. The guards that were meant to protect the royalties, found themselves weak in the knees as they trembled.

Margo stood in front of the High-luminary, "We have to leave, your eminence! It seemed the child of light has failed,"

"Haa…but—"

"Now, your eminence!' Margo screamed as the dragon drew nearer, but the High-luminary remained unmoving

"What's that?" She said, pointing to a figure standing in the path of flight of the dragon

"Elias Ashdown?!" Lord Thane exclaimed

Elias hovered before the incoming dragon with his arms outstretched, his gaze fierce and determined. He looked like a man with a plan.

"If you want to die that much, then die!" Carius screamed, "Don't stop, run him over," Carius commanded his dragon

Still, Elias's expression didn't change, not in the slightest,

"Hurricane Fury," He whispered

A massive spiraling column of wind erupted from beneath the dragon, causing it to stagger. This time Elias gave it his all and the size of the column was greater than the last time he cast the spell.

"We're not done," Elias said, "Blazing Hell," he cast, and a blazing Torrent of flames flowed into the wind column.

As the two spells collided, the raging wind acted as a giant fan to increase the size of the flames and it only took a second before the entire wind column became a giant flame Hurricane that engulfed the crystal dragon as well as its owner.
