Chapter 248 I'm Stuck!
That\'s why most of the visitors that ventured into the Beast Dimension would always steer clear of the Black Winged Dragon. There was even an in-depth guide on the route of the Black Winged Dragon which is updated on a daily basis to lower the risks of anyone who\'d accidentally run into the monstrosity.
But for some odd reason, it was right there in front of Jean Grey, pinning him down! Jack Michael (Star Spangled) was confident that the Black Winged Dragon was nowhere near the vicinity and yet it was right there! In the flesh! In all its form and glory!
"Impossible, but how? Did it deviate from its route?" Jack Michael\'s mouth went agape as he watched Jean Grey helplessly lying on the ground with the Black Winged Dragon on top of him. It was not a pretty good sight to see that Jack Michael even thought about turning away from it.
"Come on, Jack, help me outta here!" Jean Grey screamed in desperation as he grunted in pain. Fortunately, the Black Winged Dragon was kind enough to pin him with its talons and not with its stomach on top of him. Had that been the case, he\'d have been squished to death, wrung like a cloth in a dryer as it bled water and blood.
Thanks to Jean Grey\'s call for help, Jack Michael managed to regain his composure as he activated his gravity and super-strength combo superpower in a futile attempt to push the Black Winged Dragon out of the way. "Come oooooon~!" Jack Michael screamed at the top of his lungs as he tapped into every cell in his body, drawing out his maximum potential and through-putting the most power he could let out. His energy drained by the second and adrenaline instantly coursed through his body, giving him two-fold strength, exponentially increasing his power output.
Still, it was no match for the Black Winged Dragon. Somehow, the Black Winged Dragon was covered with this barrier of pure energy and no attack of Jack Michael could penetrate.
For the first time in his life, Jack Michael felt helpless. His friend was right there in front of him, suffering, and yet there was nothing he could do about it. They\'ve met with one of the final bosses of the Beast Dimension and in a snap of a finger, they\'ve been put into an inescapable situation.
"If I\'d known I\'d have summoned my trusty Azure Blue Tiger Pheross." Jean Grey muttered. He wasn\'t always this careless, that\'s why he was kind of surprised that this happened to him despite his usually careful nature. The only reason why he didn\'t summon Pheross with him was that he didn\'t want the White Lions and White Lionesses to flee in fear at his appearance.
As it turned out, that decision backfired on the two of them— with the end result of him being pinned to the ground by a Black Winged Dragon.
"Sigh~ any moment now, Jack Son Michael, any moment now!" Jean Grey blurted out, calling Jack by his full name.
"All right, all right!"
For the second time, Jack activated his superpower and tried to break through the impenetrable defense of the Black Winged Dragon... but it was all in vain. In fact, his attack was way weaker compared to his first surge of superpower.
He was simply helpless while facing such a powerful beast.
For someone considered to be the number one superhero in America, he couldn\'t quite believe that he was powerless in front of a dragon. \'Impossible! I\'m the face of America, I\'m the Star Spangled! Why can\'t I handle myself in front of a beast?!\' He screamed in his mind.
Well, there\'s a valid and well-placed reason why the Black Winged Dragon was considered the final boss of the Beast Dimension. Even though the one and only Star Spangled can\'t accept that irrefutable fact, there was nothing he could do about it. Nada.
"Jack.. I\'m probably going to die soon. Tell my family that I love them... and also!" Jean Grey started muttering as he groaned in pain. Apparently, the Black Winged Dragon was smarter than he thought and it slowly pressed more weight on him as time passed, savoring the murder that it was doing.
"And also what?!" Jack asked in disbelief. He couldn\'t take in the reality that his friend was dying in front of his very eyes.
"And also... tell my son that I went out to buy some milk. Haha~ got \'im!"
"Jean Grey! This is not the time to be joking around!"
"What do you want me to do then? Wallow in despair and cry my heart out in front of my friend. I wouldn\'t do that even if it kills me! Argh~!" Jean Grey responded, forcing a smile on his face but deep down he was gritting his teeth in pain.
"Stop it with the dead jokes already." Jack pleaded as his eyes wettened with tears.
Fwooosh~!
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a column of unquenchable blue fire shot towards the Black Winged Dragon, catching it by surprise and causing it to fall out of balance.
