It was a few days later when the massive party of adventurers emerged from the dungeon, to include the supporters, the lowest level was 6. The look in all of their eyes was serious, hard, and ready to challenge the dragon.
Bell, a powerful level 13. Leon and Ottar both at level 11. Many others had reached level 9 or even 10. Shurry scanned the group and smirked.
"Fantastic, you've now officially reached the point where I can truthfully say this…" Shurry started, taking in a calming breath. "Provided you can work together, in sync, and arm yourselves with nothing but the best… You have a chance to defeat the terror of the skies, the One-Eyed-Black-Dragon." He said, with a grin, then looked up to the sky. "Isn't that right?"
Figures began appearing in the sky, floating down with their auras in full throttle. All of them geared to the teeth with their absolute best, and from each gate, some others with horrible injuries, returned.
"You did a lot for them, thanks… Uhm…" A man with a powerful presence and sleek suit of light armor, a single sword upon his hip. Black hair, and a serious expression on his face. "I see it now, you're a hero… One taking his trial. No wonder he upped his antics during training." He laughed.
"Yeah, sorry about that, I'd heard training there was fairly difficult." Shurry laughed. "You can call me Shurry, the Origin Wolf, though most of the gods, him included, just call me Fenrir. Much to my own chagrin."
"Well met, Shurry. Call me Albert. I see my daughter over there has grown a bit under your tutelage. Thanks for that, truly." He said with a cheerful friendship.
"It's not the first time I've done that." Shurry laughed. "Though this time was a little different…"
"Yeah, that damn dragon is about to break through my wife's barrier." Albert grew serious, his hand instinctively resting on his blade. "This time will be different. No longer will the world suffer this freaky monster."
"I wish you all good fortune in battle." Shurry smiled.
"Yeah, you've already done more than enough for us. But before you go there's someone who wants to talk with you."
"Yeah, it's Lyca, right?" Shurry asked, look right at her.
The future timeline's Lyca stepped forward, and sniffed Shurry more than a few times. "I had a feeling when I saw that necklace, but that smell confirms it, you're my nephew." She smirked. "How's your life in your time?"
"It was rough for a long time. But with wonderful friends, and familia, I started a family of my own. And have many pups crawling over me almost all my restful moments. Killing the dragon brought about a time of peace unlike any other." Shurry smiled.
"That's good. I'm glad you were able to live a good life. Take good care of that family, Alpha."
Shurry grinned, and then all of his wolves ran towards him, leaping into another dimension within his soul, and a shining silver light graced the whole of the city, and a vast expanse of the surrounding lands.
"Everyone! This is but a portion of the might that dragon holds, steel yourselves, and prepare properly, I will give you one final gift before I vanish from this timeline…" He spoke in a voice that both boomed, and kept a low howl in the background.
As the light faded, and him along with it, the wind barrier holding the dragon grew stronger, sturdier and overall more reliable.
Using his sight, Albert smirked as he noticed it. Along with the other bit of information he got on how to save Aria. "Thanks for that, having another year to prepare properly is much appreciated."
"Heh, he's just showing off a little." A man in full black armor said with a scoff and a chuckle.
"Oh shut it Zald. There's no point in worrying about that, right now we've got to make plans, and work on actually taking that thing down." Maxim grinned, throwing an arm around Zald. "And you, don't you want to say hi to your nephew?"
"Noisy."
"Don't be like that, he's right there. Go on, if you don't I will." Empress laughed. "Hey there Bell, come and say hi to your mother's sister!"
The antics that followed were intense and long lasting. The generation who failed, had returned as spirits to help the clearly incapable current generation. A combination of powers from across time were what was required, they knew that better than anyone. Though, Alfia and Zald had some explaining to do.
In a year's time they would gather and fight a horribly hellish war against the black dragon and its insanely large thunder. The Xenos would also participate in this war in an effort to up the chances of victory. After tens of thousands of would be fatal injuries, and 50 years worth of Orario's wealth spent in a war chest full of supplies… The party succeeded in claiming the dragon's life, and freed Aria.
Bell would go on to marry Ais, Ryuu, and a few others that he realized he really did love.
…
Back in Shurry's timeline, he woke up from his nap, and stretched. Surrounded by his family he smiled, lovingly at all of them. He was glad he'd returned at the same time he'd left. And just like the tradition had been, Ardee was the first to kiss him after waking up.
"Good morning…" Ardee said, and realized there was something extremely different about him.
"Good morning, Ardee, my love." Shurry smiled, giving her another kiss. "I did it. I completed my trial. I can become a god any time I want now."
""Not yet, remember, there's more babies to be had first."" All four wives said in unison as if that particular phrase was a 5 alarm fire.
"Pfft, don't worry, I'm not going to actually do it. Not until the time you'll need a place to live in heaven. Only then will I decide to go through with it."
Back in his own timeline, with all major problems solved in both his, and the future timeline, Shurry continued living his life, revered as a hero to the world. He wasn't idle, in practice, nor in family as he regularly expanded his young pups.
Amazoness from around the world had heard that he could give them a son, something impossible… So despite the odds they came and asked anyway, frequently getting roped into another familia and set on another journey.
The issue with the Amazoness had caused some to think it might work with other races, and so elves, dwarves, beast people, and animal people all tried their best to find out if it worked for them. Celty and Asta asked to try it, even if they couldn't actually do it, they'd heard enough to desire that kind of wild night… They were both successes.
And thus, living happily ever after… Definitely not, life always has its ups and downs, but it was a good life, filled with many shenanigans… Stories of friendships, and struggles still continued… But Shurry's story is now his own, to live in private, with his family and familia. With one last thing… His final status… He was now invincible to the mortal world, and bordered on the power needed to make Erebus pay a price.
