The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S2) Chapter 69 [Sucks Barrier!!! ]
AQUA POV
Dullahan is now in a different dimension. Without my permission, he would not be able to return to this dimension. Now... Let's do what I have to do!
Now there's no more. There's nothing stopping me from seeing him. The increasingly moving footsteps came to a halt as this foot climbed the altar stairs. Something invisible made me unable to go any further.
"There's a barrier..."
It felt as if there was pressure that refused anything entering it. Just to try, I let out a small fire from my hand and attacked the barrier tilted upwards. The fire I fired bounced back to me.
Already I guess, if in logic, the fire should have bounced upwards because I fired tilts upward from below. But since the fire is bouncing towards me, it means that this barrier will return the attack to its origin.
Magic cannot be used.
What I can do, I have to rely on my physique.
The hand I spread forward slowly started to enter the barrier. It felt heavier than the pressure of the water when I met Leviathan. The magic I can use is only magic that affects my own body. The skill that Leviathan gave off could not withstand the pressure that was not from the water.
That way...
There was no choice but to become a dragon. The changes that occurred were not too different than when it became the "Baby Dragon" but there was indeed a change. Several dragon scales were sticking out of my body. But what stood out the most was that now I had wings.
It is not too big, but because of that my clothes will always be damaged when they change.
"Ughhhkkk..."
Although it has been transformed, this pressure is still difficult to withstand. My entire body felt like it was being forced out of there by horizontal gravity.
This Dungeon has been formed more or less since Kak Rin invited me in. This is 8 months 22 days ago or 266 days ago. One hour in here is 1 day in the real world. He's been here for 6,360 days, about 17.4 years. In that time, he faced this pressure in an injured state.
I must. save him...
Please, I have failed to protect my brother. I can't fail to protect you either.
Slowly, little by little, with heavy footsteps, while still grinding my teeth, I tried to get closer to you.
My breath is starting to cramp. It seems that pressure affects not only gravity, but also the air inside.
A little more. Just a little more my hand managed to reach it.
Got it!
I managed to hold the pole that tied him up. Now I have to take it off...
The more I approached the pole, the stronger the pressure...
"!"
BWWWOOOSSSHHHH
Ah.. shit.my body reached its limit. I was thrown right after my hand touched the rope that tied it.
BRRUUUUUUKKKK
"Goghhoook!!!"
Blood came out of my mouth, nose and ears.
Like Newton's third law where the force you exert will be the same as that given to you, I was thrown at high speed until I hit a cliff far behind me. So fast that I can't get into action.
Body shaking...
I could feel it. Some of my bones were broken and pierced into my internal organs.
This is sick shit*n!!!
[ Full Recovery ]
"Ohh.. hahhh...". hahh..."
Even with the dragon transformation and strengthening magic, the counterforce that the barrier provided still managed to hurt me quite badly.
This barrier is designed to provide back pressure according to the strength of the person trying to enter it. In other words, the stronger the person, the stronger the barrier was against.
My body has recovered. You think I would give up for such a ridiculous reason?! It won't. Whatever the obstacle, I have to get through it.
Now I know I'm gonna be thrown in this corner. Then...
[Soft Hug ]
The purplish pink clouds gathered together to form a 10m square in the corner I wanted. It's not an incredible attack magic, it's a support magic that helps me withstand the impact effects. Before I hit the cliff, the clouds would hold my body gently as if falling into a pillow.
All right, preparation is done. I should try it again.

What...what the hell is this anji*g?!!!!!
Every time I managed to touch the rope that bound him, no matter what I did, I was always thrown away.
How many times has it been?!!!
BRAKKK
I dropped my body into the sand of the beach from exhaustion. I think this is the 74th trial.
"Haa~ah... shit!"
My man is exhausted..my body hurts all..I also have worn too much dragon mode. For now, let's take a break...
"Zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzz zzzzzz."

Normal POV
Aqua was sound asleep from exhaustion. Without Aqua noticing, a pair of eyes noticed her.
Those eyes emitted an aura of bewilderment, longing and calm into one. Sapphire-colored pretty eyes that have small dots like stars look like the universe is in it. A golden ⁇ ️ symbol looks shining in those pretty eyes.
The eyes were silent and watching. His look was hard to understand. Even those eyes were harder to guess his mind than Elvira.
Sometimes the eyes look around him, as if looking for something.
His mouth was open, but soon closed. He pursed his lips slowly while looking down.
"Who...?"
"Why...?"
He was thinking of something difficult to understand. In the state of his body can not move, only his eyes and mouth can be freely moved. There is no pain. All parts of him were numb.
The one who had been looking at Aqua with troubled eyes was a beautiful woman hanging from the altar.
"My face... Shortness of. when I see the child is hurt."
The woman took her eyes off Aqua.
"I heard it..."
"I've heard it all since I sensed an unknown living being approaching the 100th floor."
"Why in fact...why did he fight so hard to save me...?"
"Why in fact... My chest hurts to see it that way...?"
"Why in fact...I think I want to run up to him and hug him...?"
"Actually who are you? And who am I to you?"
The thousands of questions raised in his head nothing could come out of his mouth. It seems that he already knew the answer but also did not know it at the same time.
BZZZTTT
"Ukh..."
A slight electric shock stung his head.
"Airellaa!!!!!!!" screams of a platinum-haired golden man.
"Snake!!!!!!!"
The two hands that had previously joined each other were severed and trying to reach each other. But no matter what they do, each hand can only stay away from each other.
"Airella!!!! No matter where you are, I will always find you!!!! I promise!!!" screamed the man while shedding tears.
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Akhhhhh!!!!!"
The woman's head was suddenly very dizzy.
For whatever reason, her tears flowed. His countenance was filled with deep sadness and longing.
"What's this?! The illusion!? Wasn't... Memory?!"
"If this is memory... Whose memory?!! Airella's? Princess Goddess Athena?! Why did his memory cross my head?!"
"It's a little different with the dreams I used to have. What the fuck is this really?!! What is this really?!!"
"Whoever, please give me an explanation of all these mysteries..."
