Rise of the White Dragon Chapter 86

From the moment they entered the dimensional gap until then, they did not notice anything different, despite it being a dark and cold place. However, some things began to be noticed by them such as footprints and other marks of struggle. There were even indications of possible bodies being dragged across the floor.

"Luan, I think... I don't think so; I'm sure there were humans here, however, something must have happened. In addition, animals, perhaps dogs, must have entered, since there are animal tracks," Maira analyzed the situation.

"I agree, and they must be the reason." As soon as Luan said this, many small and ugly beings appeared.

All of them were at most 1 meter long, with short legs and arms and a pair of horns and large, pointed ears. Some of these ugly beings had a pair of wings on their backs and flew with a hideous smile on their faces.

The eyes of these living beings were black without the slightest sign of light, it was as if they were made of glass, and not something like that of a living being. It was ridiculous how scary these little creatures could be. Their colors varied between three shades: green, red, and blue.

Catharina and Cristina trembled with fear when they saw these creatures and were frightened by the diabolical appearance of them.

"They are imps," Luan murmured loudly enough for them to hear.

(Author Note: An imp is a mythological being similar to a fairy or demon, often described in folklore and superstition. The word derives from the term ympe, used to denote a grafted tree.)

"And to think that these mythological creatures really exist." Maira, on the other hand, was impressed.

"Yes, many of the things that appeared in mythology, were, in fact, real. Some were recorded in historical books, which talked about things like these imps. However, not everything mythological is real. Anyway, they are smart, and not friendly to humans. They are carnivores and are looking at us as prey." Luan said this so they wouldn't let their guard down.

"Their strength is not that high," Luan said, "Mother, Cristina, and Catharina, try to fight them. If you can't, Ingrid and I will help."

"Okay!" They felt motivated, although still afraid since this imp was very ugly and scary.

Maira was the one who was most relaxed with this situation compared to Cristina and Catharina; she was also the first to move. In her eyes, the imps looked digitized. She moved toward the nearest imp with long strides, and the soles of her feet were filled with her monstrous strength. Each of her steps left residual marks on impact. The thrust of her intense speed was like that of a herd of ten horses.

[Goo-ohhhhh-oh!] The Imp that was about to be attacked, let out a strange cry, moving fast across the floor since it had no wings, and both Imp's fists flung forward while strange red energy surrounded its fists as it attacked towards Maira.

At that moment there was only one thought in Maira's mind: to defeat this imp.

The strength of this Imp was around the strength of 8 ordinary people, and when the Imp's fist hit Maira's fist it looked like Maira's hand was that of an adult man and the imp's a child. The imp was forced back, and Maira's brute strength broke the bones of the imp's hand, and before he flew off, she took another step forward, and with her other hand, she set her foot on the ground and threw a punch at the imp's chest.

*Bang!*

The Imp's body went flying, and he hit the other imps who tried to hold him.

When they saw that more than three imps had gone to attack Maira, Catharina and Cristina went to help.

"Watch out! Some of them can attack from a distance." Luan gave a warning just as a fireball flew towards Maira.

Maira acted quickly and dodged. She pulled away and kicked off the ground, pushing forward and throwing a punch to the head of an Imp that was almost reaching her.

*Beng!*

The punch was very strong, making the imp's body hit the ground and bounce like a soccer ball.

Maira wasted no time and kicked the Imp while he was down, making him fly a distance and hit his head against the head of an imp with wings that was flying.

*Bang!*

*Boom!* *Boom!*

The two Imps fell heavily to the ground and were barely able to get up.

Cristina surrounded her hands with fire and sent a shower of punches in the direction of an imp flying at about her height.

*Pow!* *Pow!* *Pow!*

The explosive sounds of her fists of fire echoed and the Imp was launched from a distance, falling to the ground and creating a small crater with his body.

Catharina was the weakest of them, but that didn't mean she couldn't fight. She was a little more clumsy, being hit by an imp punch and being forced to back up.

[Keeeeeeeeeeee!]

The imp laughed at Catharina, as he celebrated for making her step back.

This ignited a flame of anger in the heart of Catharina, who kicked the floor and reached the imp who laughed at her; not even she knows how she was able to do this. Catharina, after kicking the ground stayed in the air, and turning with her right foot, she kicked the imp's head and the body of another imp that was nearby.

It was a combo which launched the two imps backward with great force. The power of her kick with the speed and the strength of 9 ordinary men was powerful enough to tear both imps in half.

Maira was about to be attacked by a different imp. This one seemed to be bigger and more powerful. It was an Imp of red color, of which there were only a few present. A red imp's maximum strength was up to 10 times more powerful than an ordinary man, which was only slightly weaker than Maira.

Maira retaliates with a punch, using all her strength.

Both of Maira's fists met the fists of the red imp. Punching each other, their fists collided fiercely.

*Bang!*

With deafening sounds and bright red lights that came from the fist of the red imp due to the explosion, the wind waves were like a gale. A hurricane spread in all four directions, instantly picking up many of the imps, who were unable to escape.

Luckily, Cristina and Catharina had just gotten rid of the imps that were attacking them and were able to dodge the effects of the hurricane.

The two girls were amazed. Inexplicably their mother had become very powerful. They could clearly see the blood dripping from the corner of the red imp's mouth.

Although Maira was a little breathless, she was standing firmly like a mountain, with her eyes as sharp as a sword. Unlike the red imp, which was spitting blood, looking at Maira in disbelief.

The red imp looked over and grabbed a green imp with his hand and bit the green Imp's head off. He chewed and chewed, and he started to recover. All his tiredness and internal injury were healed in moments.

[Goo-ohhhh-oh!] The red imp screamed and attacked Maira again.

"Monster!" Maira shouted. Of course, the red imp didn't understand what she said and even if she did, he wouldn't have been offended.
