When the meeting was finished king stood up from his throne and walked in front followed by two guardians and six leaders. The guardian walking alongside me looked toward me for a moment and then turned to look at kings back, his eyes were grey hallow in which if someone stares they would only see endless abyss. Unlike me and my predecessors who even after signing contract with king indirectly opposed him, the Guardian Samuel and his family has wholeheartedly devoted their lives to king. He was quite troublesome to deal with; His ability could nullify all other abilities. Any ability based attack was useless against him and therefore only physical attack could be used to defeat him. But he has thoroughly covered his weakness, his physical prowess were one of the best in dragon realm. Thinking this and following king's lead we arrived outside the castle where king's battleship of was stationed for us in which we would depart only till outside the capital. He needed a grand exit or s
When I stepped foot on the other side of the portal, I was greeted with scorching heat and endless desert. Once I stepped out of the portal it vanished behind me and I was able to see the desert view and conditions engraved in the sand to leave the desert few steps ahead of me. I always encountered something new in the tower, sometime some holographic screen would appear in front of me or sometimes I received the instruction telepathically. [Acquire the Astral stone in order to proceed to next floor.] [Use of weapon is permitted.] [Use of Void abilities for fight is not permitted.] [Clear the floor within 2 days.] And as expected the conditions were outrageous as always. In this big desert of which I couldn't even see the end, I was supposed to find a stone and why was the tower certain that I would encounter fight. Astral stone were one of the rarest stones even in the dragon realm, most of them I had seen were in king's crown and smaller one's in leader's rings. They were ro
'Then I think we must visit this god of yours.' I said looking at them. 'But lord we must inform God Theris before bringing you with us or he will kill us all, he ... he does not tolerate any mistake or insubordination.' The Scorpion leader gave me a quick introduction of this con god's personality. 'As I have said, I don't have time to comply with your request. You will take me to him, I guarantee you, nothing will happen to you.' I said with assuring tone. 'But lord the tunnels leading to the underground city is not big enough for you to fit in, we will need to open the tunnel reserved for God Theris but we don't have authority and means to open it.' He said. 'No need.' I said shrinking to my humanoid form which was only 15 feet tall. Seeing me shrink they had astonished expressions on their faces like watching some miracle. In my humanoid for I was around 4 meter in size and now it was possible for me to fit in the tunnel. We started to walk in the tunnel which was enforced f
'No I didn't think you would just hand it over to me.' 'At first I thought you must have worn that astral stone as some jewelry on your body but now that I have a good look at it, it is part of your existence, you are drawing your power from him, may I ask what are you, I have never seen astral stone embedded in any beast' I asked curiously. 'You have seen astral stone before but not beast, which means they are not alive, where is that astral stone now?' He asked me. 'Didn't I make it clear before; I will be the only one asking question.' I said staring at him. 'I have heard enough of your nonsense, I think I will have to beat some sense into you and make you talk.' he roared and charged toward me. He released the full force of his beastly aura to suppress me thinking I would pass out or realize my situation but even if a Z ranked beast do the same thing it was not enough to budge me from my place. Just from the release of his aura the entire environment of city has become suffo
Demion POV 'You wish to fight me alone; you will regret your decision of coming to this land, my land you bug.' He shouted at me but I ignored him and thought why has lord told me to fight him considering him the 1st leader but I pushed those thoughts in the back of my head for now. I started recalling those memories of me being chased in the forest, fighting a meaningless fight, my family members dying in the hands of the first leader. I pulled a sharp red sword from the space pocket rune inscribed on the back of my hand. Dazzling with red aura; it was not my fire ability but my anger. The beast mocking me and advancing toward me stopped because the sand around me started to burn more ferociously than before. In response to my provocation the beast also started to draw more power from the astral stone his power reached the peak of X rank which I had never faced in my life, but I wasn't afraid. I was more excited than afraid. I charged toward the beast and he did the same within
Demion POV 'He was weaker than I thought nevertheless you did a good Job.' lord said and I thought the same thing. He was different from the beasts which lord has introduced us in our meeting. They were trained hunter but this beast in front of us was overestimating his abilities. 'Please spare my life, if you want I will never bother natives of this land and run away far from here.' He started pleading for his life. 'First turn off your ability or whatever it is.' I said and the astral stone on his head returned back to normal exuding white light. 'Tell me about your astral race.' Lord asked him and it was the topic in which I was also interested. 'I was the king of astral race when our planet was flourishing but one day a comet struck our planet and our planet crumbled to pieces. Many people of our races died from the aftermath while some scattered all over the universe, I was able to cling onto the piece of land and survive.' 'I had forgotten how much time has passed since I
Andrew POV "It has been 1 month and we haven't started our rescue mission yet, is it really that hard to find one damn facility?" I asked the beast who was responsible for locating the facility. She was more of an angel then beast. She was 10 meter tall and had two white feathery wings on her back her appearance was similar to our humanoid form. She was given the responsibility to track the location of facility if it changes after lord enters the tower and she was also the healer of our group. She didn't reveal much information about her power saying that lord has instructed her not to and she was the reason lord was able to track the facility every time the location changed. Apart from her healing ability she was also some type of tracker and that is what she was doing right now but waiting for the whole month doing nothing I had passed the limit of my patience. "Aren't you going to answer me, Celine?" I asked again and she stood up from her meditative pose while holding some nec
Andrew POV After the meeting concluded without wasting any time I contacted one of my sources and arranged the meeting with the resistance forces. It did not take much time for me to get the answer from them which was positive of course. I was a young earth dragon born into the sealed dragon realm in a common family. Earth dragons were not recognized as true dragons by the other dragons due to them not having wings and they had different and stronger built from other dragons and mostly considered as sub classes. They were in the lowest ranking in the dragon realm and most of the time suppressed by other dragons. They were always found in mines or doing some other miscellaneous task which cannot be done with the help of machines. Even if an earth dragon is strong enough to face a leader they were deprived of basic dragon right as to form a family and forces and challenge any other dragon for title. Seeing there were no hope for earth dragons in dragon realm, many earth dragons had
