Chapter 141 Do It Yourself!

"You... Talked to my mother? She, Tiamat, the greatest being known, spoke to you directly?!" Calishora asked after shaking her head to clear it, and I nodded.

"Yeah, I choked and slapped her as well, kinda kinky when you think about it. Is your mom single? I am asking for a friend," I joked, and the giant Dragon blinked at me.

"You what? Slapped the great mother? How do you still exist?" Calishora asked, and I shrugged.

"Must be something to do with my good looks and personality. Anyways, you and I have to fight because I have laid claim to you, and your mother agreed, sort of. I don't think she said I could have you specifically, but she didn't say she was pulling you back. In fact, she really doesn't care if you live or die! Ha! What a benevolent creature!" I laughed, and Calishora snapped at me and then started to come for me while screaming.

"I am to give my life to destroy you! Mother would never give up one of her own children! The Goddess, Tiamat, would see me die before giving me up to the enemy!" Calishora screamed as she chased me comically around the crystal ring.

"You're not wrong, but if you want to play hard to get, I am game!" I laughed, running away with my chains jingling.

As she tried to snap at me, I jumped up, flipped backward, and landed on the Dragon's neck with an explosive thump that felt like a stormy night of tacos. Calishora immediately tried to shake me off her, but I gripped her hard with my thighs.

"Get off me!" Calishora screamed, but I was reaching behind my back to my blades.

"Sorry, you have some nice wings! And I don't right now! Look at that! So! I am going to borrow yours! Great idea right?" I called out and threw the sword down and under each side of her neck.

The chains on the weapons made them whip back around, and I caught them both. In the same motion, I plunged the two blades into the creature's neck, causing some explosions, but my body just absorbed the energy.

"Ahhh! Stop it! Why can't you just fight fair!?" Calishora screamed as she tried to thrash me off her back with her tossing motions.

"That's rich coming from you; why don't you fight me in a human-sized body? I can put you in one, and then you will see what it's like! I mean, I am going to do that anyways when you get here, so maybe you could get a head start on things. Come on, don't be such a Karen! Also, fly towards the giant rock formation that is moving over there, or I will melt you from the inside out, got it?" I threatened.

"You think that you have won?!" Calishora roared but then screamed as the Chimera blade started to leak acid into the fiery wound I had left.

"Here, lean your ear closer if you can't fucking hear me. I win, you lose, now fly, or I am going to melt your head off your neck," I growled, but the Dragon didn't move.

"Then just kill me. I will submit to no man! I am a Dragon!" Calishora roared but then started to scream as more acid started to eat her from the inside of her neck wound.

"Nope, you idiots started this, so you will finish it. Just a forewarning, I am not very reasonable, so you can do what I am asking you now or wait until I convince you. You can't get rid of me now, but you can make me stronger if you want to fight some more. I like when you go boom! It's like a reverse fart, kinda," I laughed, but Calishora continued to fight me.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"You are a lower life form!" Calishora screamed, but I just held on and kept leaking acid into her wound as she flailed.

[I am unsure how to take watching you deal with this creature. I have been in the background watching, and I was terrified when you offered yourself to Tiamat. I would like to ask what is wrong with you, but you are clearly on a different level than everyone else. You treat these Astral Beings like children that you need to scold.] Omega said, finally speaking up after staying silent.

'Is this a different way to do it? They are children with big sticks, but my stick is bigger! Not going to lie; I kind of enjoyed choking out that space Dragon. She wasn't impressed, but that is par for the course. Anyways, how are things going for everyone else? There haven't been any calls for help yet, so I assume everything is going fine?' I asked Omega as the struggling Dragon tossed me back and forth.

[They are somewhat alright. The Golems are just hard to kill, and they have no effect on it, even with traps. They are trying to trip it, but the feet are spread out like mountains, making it nearly impossible. They are holding, but there is a lot of damage, and more every second.] Omega explained, and I nodded with a sigh.

Looks like playtime with this one is over for now. I was hoping to use this one against it.

"Dammit, Dragon. Do you really want to die that badly? I am going to kill you, but I was going to give you a chance to fight one of the Gideons. Doesn't that interest you?" I asked, and that made the Calishora stop flailing.

"Gideons? You want me to help you with them? What makes you think that would change my mind?!" Calishora growled, trying to look back at me.

"I don't know if it will, but I know you don't like them. If you know that you will die or give your life, then why not give it your all and kick some ass? I mean, I just want to run you into the damn thing and hopefully blow him to pieces! I mean, it is a pretty simple plan, and it kills two birds with one stone. You die and go back to your body, same with the Gids, and I sing kumbaya," I explained, but Calishora shook her head.

"Mother says you can do it yourself, you insufferable ant!" Calishora retorted.

"You tell that wormy bitch to stop being so sour. If your mother wants me to choke her out again, she just has to invite me over!" I laughed, but then I felt the body under me start to heat up as energy started to build up.

I tightened my chains, flexed my Max Power System, and then tore my swords out the sides of the Dragon's massive neck. That cut through nearly half the neck, and I snapped the chains tight, releasing everything I had collected from the explosions that Calishora had been discharging.

In a spray of glowing orange liquid, the Dragon's head thumped to the ground and crystalized into systeminium. The body didn't collapse; it froze and became hard underneath me.

[You need to return to the ship, it is time for you to make your grand entrance.]
