Chapter 236: 233. What's the story?
"The dragons formed a pact for peace, you both know about the natural order. However, you still want to fight immediately that order is gone," Collins frowned at them and Gazan brandished his sword and gazed at Collins.
"None of you know what is coming next. The world is about to face the final stage of the tiran impact, and... You are wasting strong people?" The young man's voice reached out to them and they kept quiet.
"Who are you? I've never seen a vampire like you before," Gazan said and that was when Saudre smelled it.
"That stench, you really are a vampire. But you're in the sunlight with parts of your body open..." Saudre didn't want to know what this person has to say.
"Listen to me–"
"That's enough! How can you interrupt such an important battle! Even if you're strong, you shall die by my hands today." Saudre suddenly vanished from his spot and then Collins smiled.
The pressure on the air increased by more than a thousand and Saudre was forced down to the ground.
"Oh, there you are. As I was saying, we all need to work together to overcome the third stage. My coven is still one that's hidden and believe me, it will be better to be allies than enemies," Collins said to the men and then the compass in his pocket started vibrating.
"Hm?" The water suddenly rose and then a young man that wore only a track trouser standing on a giant octopus' tentacle jumped down.
Jude landed on the ground, his trident making a loud clanking sound as he landed. The pressure didn't seem to affect him at all as he walked freely.
"Hahaha, I told you I would get to land before you." Collins laughed at Jude gazed at the two draconic looking men and then he walked towards both of them.
"I apologize on my brother's behalf but this war has to end. The natural order is gone, let bygones be bygones," Jude said as he gazed at Saudre and the black dragon suddenly started to laugh.
"You don't know. You don't know... You don't know the story!" Saudre shouted at Jude and under the pressure he was in he tried to stand and Collins raised it.
"You seem calm, that's why I didn't put you to the floor," Collins said as he looked at Gazan.
"Saudre, what is the story?" Jude asked as he calmly gazed at Saudre's eyes and the black dragon looked at Gazan.
...
The black dragons once ruled the lands in medieval times when technology was just being invented.
They had riches, and everything, a proper kingdom most importantly.
But then the dragons came from their own territory, to stop the drakes from being involved with humans and they came with witches, witches with power.
After making them unable to interfere with human affairs, they had to hide their identity and live without their Drake side.
The drakes were once at the Pinnacle of this world, and they can still be. If a black dragon is able to take the crown of superiority which Gazan holds, the person would be able to finally wage war against the witches and other dragons too like the amphipteres.
...
"And in a desperate attempt, I killed the amphiptere lord and they are coming after me right now. I have to end this battle with Gazan right now," Saudre said to Jude and Jude nodded in response.
"But what if you die?" Jude asked and Saudre stopped in his tracks.
"Hm..." He looked at Jude and then he smiled.
"You know, I feel intimidated by your presence, fight me, not to the death, but just fight me," Saudre said and Jude looked at him and he brandished the trident.
He leapt towards Jude and an ice pillar formed in front of him and he put his hand forward to block.
He suddenly saw himself being held up in the air by Jude and he was stunned. He couldn't even see his movements at all.
'I couldn't even see his movements... Who, are these people?' Saudre was in shock.
When the witches relayed the news of the apocalypse coming, naturally only the supernatural would be on top. The dragons were the strongest species even while levelling up, they were still superior to other creatures.
"You dragons have too much pride. We've been watching for a while and this entire fight, although it's your tradition, it's meaningless. Normal society has fallen, and a new world is being rebuilt. If you really want to stand on top, then you have to rule... Not just the dragons, but also other races," Jude said with a deep tone and then he dropped Saudre who began to think about what he said.
"And the rest of you! Behave..." Jude stared down at the dragons and drakes and the pressure kept them down.
They all felt scared in the presence of one more powerful than them.
"If you're this strong and only part of a coven, does this mean the entire coven is as strong as you?" Saudre asked and Jude put a finger on his jaw.
"No."
"No." Collins also said.
"How about this, instead of letting your entire race to fight. Let just the lords fight amongst themselves and see who's the winner."
"The one who yields first or dies wins," Jude's tone was cold and then the pressure in the air suddenly vanished making the dragons breathe.
'The tiran impact's second stage was several times more difficult for humans and even other supernaturals. Those knights that was placed at the edge of Atlantis also kill a lot of creatures.' Jude thought and then he looked up.
'Gods have been proven to be real due to me and Collins' situation... But the beholder. Who exactly are you? What are you planning?' He thought and then he looked around.
It was currently night and Collins was on a large black tiger and then he got on it and leapt over a forest before making it's way in a single direction.
'Now, Its time to finally find Dexter.'
