Chapter 263
Chapter 263
Mounted on Blaze's back, Mu-Gun directed their course toward the Silver clan's territory. The two Blue Dragons trailed behind Blaze. With repeated wing flaps that propelled them beyond supersonic speeds, the trio swiftly reached the Silver clan's territory.
Soon after, three Dragons from the Silver clan emerged. In response, Blaze and the two Blue Dragons promptly descended to the ground, a communicative gesture among Dragons signifying an intent to converse rather than engage in combat.
As Blaze and the two Dragons touched down, the Dragons from the Silver clan descended in response. Observing Mu-Gun atop Blaze's back, the Silver clan's Dragons frowned. The divine aura of the Sky God Yupir and the Spirit God Vahara emanating from Mu-Gun was palpable to them.
-Why did you bring Gods representative into our territory?
The Dragon positioned at the center of the Silver clan's assembly spoke. It was none other than Antalion Silver Dragonia, the chief of the Silver clan. His eyes and expression, directed at Mu-Gun, seemed laden with displeasure.
-We came to ask you to carry out the mission given by the Dragon God Bracant with us.
Blaze said.
-Bracants mission?
-The demon God has descended on Avalon. Gods representative hopes to defeat the Demon God with us.
-How shameless of you to reach out because youre in a hurry when you locked us up for the past millennium.
Antalion snorted at Mu-Gun and said.
Despite the overtly displeasing demeanor from Antalion, Mu-Gun, undeterred, maintained a composed silence, his expression unchanged.
Blaze glanced at Mu-Guns reaction and spoke to Antalion.
-The Gods showed mercy on us and did not destroy us. Instead, they locked us in the Dragon Mountain Range. The reason for that is most probably because they want our Dragon clan to realize the mission left behind by the Dragon God Bracant, and to regain the Dragons lost honor. If we abandon Bracants mission, the world will think that we are evil monsters who tried to destroy Avalon by obeying the Demon God. Does the Silver clan want us Dragons to remain in history like that?
-We have no intention to dwell on Bracants mission, who has already perished.
Thermeon, the Blue Dragon clans chief, asked with a stiffened expression,
-By that, are you implying that you will stand on the Demon Gods side and destroy Avalon?
-No. We will not stand on either side, be that the Gods or the Demon God. I am saying that our Silver clan will no longer be involved in the fight between the Gods and the Demon God, Antalion replied firmly.
-As long as our Dragon clan is still living in Avalon, we cannot be free from God or the Demon God. If the Demon God descends and destroys Avalon right now, do you think the Silver clan will be safe? The Silver clan will have to decide between obeying the Demon God or fighting against the Demon God.
-Who knows? I think you and the Gods representative there can deal with the Demon God on your own, even if our Silver clan doesnt step forward.
-If we fight together, we would have a higher chance of eradicating the Demon God.
-I will say it again. We will not stand on either side.
No, you cant do that. You have to make a decision. Mu-Gun, who had been listening silently, couldnt hold back any longer.
-Thats up to our clan to decide.
Then I have no choice but to destroy the Silver clan as Gods representative. fr eeweb novel
-Are you coercing us right now?
You said that your clan will not stand on either side, be it the Gods or the Demon God, but that can change at any time. If your clan abandons your current decision and sides with the Demon God, it will be more difficult to eradicate the Demon God. In order not to leave any source of future trouble, I cannot keep your clan alive.
-In other words, either we fight the Demon God with you, or die at your hands without leaving behind any possible troubles.
Listening to you, it does sound like I am coercing you. However, that is how serious of a matter it is to eradicate the Demon God. Thus, I have no choice but to force you.
-Youre no different from the Demon God. The Demon God also told us to follow its lead if we didnt want to be annihilated.
Be that as it may, our intentions are different. The Demon God coerced you to destroy Avalon, but I am forcing you to protect Avalon. Above all, I am not forcing you to do something unfair. I am guiding you to walk down the right path after you Dragons committed a sin and did not fulfill your mission even after receiving strength from the Dragon God Bracant. Mu-Gun spoke in an imposing manner.
Thermeon supported Mu-Gun and said.
-What Gods Representative said is not wrong. Even if the Dragon God Bracant has perished, Bracants divinity is contained in the Mana Hearts of our Dragon clan. If we reject Bracants mission and sit by while watching the destruction of Avalon again, Bracants divinity will never forgive us.
Antalion smiled bitterly in response to Thermeon's words. In the earlier days, when the Dragon clans succumbed to the threat of the Demon God and aligned themselves with it, Bracant's divinity did not empower the Dragons. Instead, they utilized the power bestowed by the Demon God to wield strength comparable to Bracant's divinity.
As Thermeon said, refusing Bracant's mission once again would not merely result in Bracant's divinity withholding its empowering influence.
-The Red and Silver clans have resented the Gods who locked us up in the Dragon Mountain Range for the past millennium, but the real culprit that trapped us within the boundary is the Demon God. Dont you want to take revenge on the Demon God for imprisoning our Dragon clans for a thousand years? In addition to that, you are allowed to stick by Bracants mission and restore the honor of us Dragons. Are you really going to toss aside that opportunity? If you insist on being stubborn after all this, then I will no longer persuade you anymore.
Blaze said, indicating that this was the last straw.
-Revenge on the Demon God, huh? I like the sound of that. Fine, our Silver clan will fight alongside you until we get revenge on the Demon God that corrupted us Dragons and trapped us in the Dragon Mountain Range for the last millennium.
Antalion's perspective shifted upon hearing Blaze discuss revenge against the Demon God. In truth, Antalion harbored a similar desire to depart from God's boundary. Yet, his pride prevented him from altering his stance.
However, Blaze's mention of a new justificationseeking revenge on the Demon Godimmediately swayed Antalion's stance, and he readily embraced it.
-Thats good thinking.
-It is welcoming to see you join our cause.
Blaze and Thermeon welcomed Antalions decision. It was the same for Mu-Gun. The more Dragons there were, the better.
Its an honor to fight alongside the Silver clan.
-Let me be clear, our Silver clan is not on your side, Gods representative. We are fighting alongside the Gold and Blue clans here.
That doesnt matter. Whatever the reason, if the Silver clan provides support to eradicate the Demon God, then thats good enough.
-I promise you that we will fight with all our might until the Demon God is eradicated.
Thats good enough for me.
-But did you kill all the Red Dragons?
I had no choice but to do that because they tried to harm me all of a sudden.
-Should I say its a relief? It would have been the opposite if our Silver clan looked for you first instead of the Red clan, Antalion said while smiling bitterly.
I also think that it is a pity. If the Gold or Blue clans had looked for me first, the Red clan might have changed their minds just like your Silver clan.
-Theres no need to blame yourself. Theres a good chance that the Red clan would not have changed their minds like the Silver clan, no matter how much we try to convince them.
-Thats true. The Red clan is more stubborn than any of us, Thermeon said with a nod to Blazes words.
-But how do you plan on fighting the Demon God? Do you have any specific plans? Antalion asked Mu-Gun.
In the past, the Demon God first used monsters to cause a commotion in the Avalon continent, then opened the Hellgate to bring its legion from the Hell Realm. First, we will find the Hellgate and destroy it, then proceed to eradicate the Demon God.
-Thats very fundamental. How do you plan to find the Hellgate?
It takes a tremendous amount of magic to open the Hellgate. A special magic circle and a demonic artifact containing the Demon Gods demonic divinity are required to muster the needed amount of magic. The Demon God will try to open the Hellgate through the Demon Churchs priests, who worship it.
-Then, we will have to find the Demon Churchs priest first.
For starters, we will thoroughly monitor and search those who come and go in the major cities of Avalon to find the Demon Churchs priests. However, they move so secretively that it will not be easy to find them.
-How about finding the demonic artifact, which contains demonic divinity? Thermeon asked.
I will try to do that for now, but theres a high possibility that some kind of technique was used to prevent the energy of the demonic artifact from leaking out.
-If it is as you say, we have no choice but to wait until the Hellgate opens.
If you all pay more attention, we may be able to notice the movements of the Demon Church sooner.
-You want us to keep an eye on it?
Id appreciate it if you could do so.
-What do you plan to do while we are on the lookout?
I will also use the wind spirits for vigilant surveillance. Also, I will do my best to enhance and increase the power of the humans in case the Demon God summons its legion from the Hell Realm.
-As Gods representative said, I think it would be better for our Dragon clans to be in charge of tracking down the Demon Church.
-I feel the same way.
Blaze and Thermeon expressed their support for Mu-Guns opinion.
-If the will of the two Dragon clans is the same, then we, the Silver clan, will also do so, Antalion replied reluctantly.
Thank you. No matter how covertly the Demon Church moves, they will not be able to escape the eyes of the Dragon clans.
-Youre not saying that out of whim because you want to blame us if we cant track down the movements of the Demon Church, are you? Antalion asked suspiciously.
Haha. If the Dragon clans are not able to detect their movements even though you did your best to be on the lookout, how could I blame you? You dont have to worry about that at all.
-Then, we will have to leave Gods boundary first, Blaze said.
-Can you open Gods boundary? Thermeon asked.
Of course I can. Let's go. fr(e)enovelkiss
Mu-Gun, accompanied by the three Dragon clans, proceeded to the end of the Logan Mountain Range, where the invisible boundary lay. The Dragons displayed excitement, their gaze filled with anticipation, as the prospect of escaping God's boundary after a thousand years unfolded before them.
Upon reaching God's boundary, Mu-Gun pressed both hands against it. Simultaneously, he channeled the divinity of both the Sky God Yupir and the Spirit God Vahara. The convergence of these divinities caused significant vibrations within God's boundary. Soon after, a portion of space on one side opened upa space sizable enough for the massive Dragons to freely enter and exit.
Lets go. Mu-Gun pointed to the open space.
With expressions of awe, the Dragons emerged through the opened space. Having traversed God's boundary and ventured beyond the Dragon Mountain Range for the first time in a millennium, the Dragons found it challenging to suppress their emotions. In reality, their departure from the Dragon Mountain Range did not herald any immediate substantial changes.
The Dragon clans reveled in delight and exhilaration simply at the restoration of their freedom, a precious liberation that had been stifled for so long.
-Thank you. If it wasnt for you, we would have been stuck in the Dragon Mountain Range for the rest of our lives.
Mu-Gun shook his head at Blazes remarks and replied,
Theres no need to thank me. You all were able to come out of Gods boundary like this because you realized the mission of the Dragons and resolved to fight against the Demon God.
-So, where should we go now? Thermeon asked.
As I have already mentioned, please keep a lookout on the six kingdoms.
-Since there are exactly six of us, we can take charge of one kingdom each and monitor it.
I think that will do.
-What are you going to do?
For starters, I intend to go to the Pamar Empires Imperial City and make preparations to stop the Demon Gods legion through the Anti-Demon God Alliance.
-I wonder if humans have the power to stop the Demon Gods legion, Antalion spoke dismissively of humans.
I, too, am a human being. Humans are weak, but at the same time, we are strong. When humans join forces, we will be able to stop even the Demon Gods legion.
-I hope what you say is true.
-Then, lets leave the matter regarding humans to you, and we will do what we are supposed to do.
I will leave it to you. Also, if anything should happen, please let me know immediately.
-Well do that.
The Dragons ascended into the sky before dispersing in various directions, each heading towards one of the six kingdoms. Observing the six Dragons vanish from his sight, Mu-Gun made his way to the nearest kingdomValencia Kingdom.
Subsequently, Mu-Gun used the central portal in the Valencia Kingdom to teleport directly to the Imperial City of the Pamar Empire.
