Then Mila can see how the enormous pair of eyes approaches her, to the point that she can see something similar to the head of a dragon, although thanks to her knowledge about dragons, she can realize that it is probably not one, judging by the few traits she can see.
After all, although the temple of the emerald-golden dragon god accepts believers from all racial clans, the three main racial clans that compose it are the dragon clan, the space clan and the time clan, therefore, it is normal for them to have many records about these and for many things to also be taught about them.
Then, realizing that it is probably a subdragon, but not wanting to be disrespectful, Mila only stares at her and says: "You called me, but for what?"
The subdragon calmly speaks to her: "I see that you do not fear me, that is good, after all one blessed by the venerable lord in this era cannot be weak of character."
Mila looks at her, realizing by the way she refers to her god that she is also a believer and follower, so she says a little embarrassed: "It is just that… I did not feel any bad intention from your voice elder, so that is why I came down without fear."
The subdragon, a little amused by that, says: "So that is why… and as for elder… it has been a long time since someone referred to me like that, well, that does not matter, I am very glad little one."
Then the subdragon, staring at her, says: "I see that you are in a predicament, even with the blessing of my lord you might not survive… so as your elder let me give you a hand."
Opening her mouth, a small ball of energy that later enters inside Mila's medallion appears, and the medallion rises into the air, shining resplendently for a moment and then calming down.
Mila does not feel much change, but even so she takes it with her hands and puts it back on her neck and asks curiously: "What was it that you did elder?"
The subdragon responds with a certain affection: "It is not much really, I only helped you free a little friend who will help you with your problem, you will know it when you leave… you only have to use it to summon as you normally do."
Mila is intrigued but does not ask much more and says: "Is there something I can help you with in return for the favor?"
The subdragon shakes her head and says: "No little one… for the moment no, in fact I think it is already time for you to leave."
Mila looks at her a little sadly and says: "Why don't you come with me elder?, aren't you tired of staying here alone?"
The subdragon answers her: "Of course I am… but it seems that it is still not the moment, besides I cannot leave here, I am trapped."
Mila then finally understands the strange environment, she looks around and sees a lot of sinister inscriptions on the edge of the hall, she also notices some gigantic chains anchored to the enormous walls, one does not have to be very clever to realize that this is an imprisonment formation.
Mila, with a sad tone, asks: "Who did this to you elder?, why did they do it?"
The subdragon sighs sadly and says: "You already know, you know who they are, you saw them didn't you?"
Mila thinks about the corpses outside and then understands, that increases her sadness for the subdragon and she says: "Then do you think it is possible to free you?"
The subdragon responds: "Yes, but you are still not ready, you need to strengthen yourself a bit more little one, so go now, those outside need you."
Mila, with regret, obeys and leaves, the subdragon who sees this sighs with regret and says: "You have a life full of difficulties ahead little one, this old woman is the least of your concerns… the moment will come when this dark tide formation collapses, but that moment is not now, I only wish that you have not had to suffer so much by the time that moment arrives…"
Mila, who did not hear what the subdragon said, left a little sad for her and returned the way she came, this time there was no fog nor darkness, on the contrary, the path was calm and luminous, as if someone were pointing out where she should go.
It was a calm path until she began to feel a light, brighter and brighter…
…
Then Mila finally opens her eyes while that light dissipates and in her hands the medallion that had been shining nonstop stops and Mila feels how two beings come out of the same medallion.
The first is Molly who sticks to her side saying Kyuun rubbing her with her head and the second is an enormous figure, her body is full of incredibly large muscles, her skin is covered with thick green scales on the outer part, on her ventral part up to the neck it is covered with violet scales.
Mila raises her gaze expecting to see reptilian traits, but what she finds is a gorilla head, this makes her carefully examine the body of the creature in front of her and she sees that it is indeed a gorilla, her entire body is that of a gorilla, but it is covered with scales and has horns on her head and a long tail.
The gorilla easily measures about 3.5 meters, which is clearly a female and although she looks fierce and intimidating with great power and very aggressive, Mila does not feel that way nor does she perceive a bad intention, on the contrary, she feels the same thing that Molly transmits to her… warmth and a desire for protection.
Mila then understands the help the elder referred to with awakening, it is a scaled gorilla with dragon blood, a powerful beast that, although it only possesses 2.5% dragon blood, is still a very powerful beast within its same cultivation realm.
Mila is very happy, the priestesses of the temple of the emerald-golden dragon god are very well known for their great combat capability, with the exception of some like Mila of course.
But at the same time because of the "summoning" medallions or pact medallions as they are called, technically they are like beast storage artifacts for non tamers, but more advanced since they connect with other spaces allowing the impression that "something" is being summoned, but in reality those beings come from those spaces and can only access if they accept the pact or the call of the medallion to serve the priestess.
Finally, Mila looks at the important matter… The gigantic snake in front of her and the pair of eyes in the sky that begin to close, then Mila says to the gorilla: "Can you handle that?"
The gorilla nods while looking with disdain at the snake and when the eyes finally close, time finally begins to move again.
The attack of the snake continues its course with all its power, but this time the gigantic gorilla steps in and grabbing the fangs of the beast with brutal force blocks it, pushing it back a few centimeters.
Stopping then, the gorilla with her enormous strength lifts the head of the snake which is in a state of shock because it does not know where this unknown beast came from, the gorilla after holding it in the air injects energy into her arms and throws the shadow snake against the trees.
But she does not stay still, on the contrary, she chases it with incredible ferocity, as if she wanted to make the stupid creature pay for daring to intimidate her master.
Mila, surprised, did not expect such initiative and even before she can give an order, the gorilla using one of her abilities in which the natural inscriptions on her arms light up and are covered with a green and violet energy begins to strike the snake.
Which enters into rage and just like before the inscriptions on her entire body light up releasing a sinister and dark purple light from which a black energy emerges, the snake counterattacks releasing her black mist and trying to wrap the gorilla with her enormous body to crush her.
But the gorilla only smiles with pure disdain and clearly, with her hands covered in energy, quickly frees herself from the snake's grip and jumps into the air, this time the energy of her arms becomes much stronger and with a blow so powerful that it hits her head she smashes the snake against the mountain.
And there she begins to gather energy in her mouth while the inscriptions on her neck light up, the snake sensing the danger tries to escape but is not given enough time, because in the next moment a beam of energy is expelled from the gorilla's mouth in her direction impacting and piercing her body as if it were butter.
The snake roars in pain SASHSSHSASHASH and shakes her body vigorously, but the gorilla does not let her rest, she launches herself jumping again and with a strong blow smashes the head of the snake again against the rocks of the mountain.
Then she strikes the head of the snake again, then a second time, subsequently a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh and so she continues striking savagely until the snake begins to stop moving and writhing.
When the gorilla sees that the movement completely stops is when she finally stops and grabs the snake and drags it with her…
Mila lets out a sigh from the impression, especially because she can feel that her gorilla is barely at grade 1 of the ascending realm initial stage.
The gorilla then releases the corpse of the snake in front of her mistress and bows before her.
Mila only sighs again and caresses the gorilla head while the gorilla lets out a sound of happiness, then Mila looks in the direction where Emma is and says: "Little one we still have work to do…"
