We arrived at a planet far from my domain. It was a barren planet on the outside continuously leaking radiation and a large scar ran from its center to the other half of the planet. Inside the scar it was filled with Lava Rivers.

The Planet was yet to be discovered by the dragon race and even if they did discover it, they wouldn't pay any attention to it because from one look it was visible that if they try to restore it, it will crumble to pieces.

And therefore it was the perfect place for me to hide my trump card from king's prying eyes. In one of my mission to subdue or kill an X ranked magical beast I had encountered this planet and on further exploration I came to know that the planet which looked barren from outside was actually filled with life by various beast species inside the scar.

The planet's size was equal to that of planet on which king lived and it had its own star deep inside the planet itself making environment there habitual for many species. From outside due to thick radiation emission from its surface, life sign tracking inside the planet was impossible and the scar was filled with Lava River for most of the time, which made this planet uninterested in the eyes of others.

A portal appeared inside the cavity and I alone stepped out of the space portal. It took me few minutes to catch my breaths, [Void Step] from one planet to another with so many people is definitely not an easy task.

With a wave of my hand, all six retainers came to sight still frozen in purple transparent bubble with runes moving on the edge of bubbles. The process of keeping the bubble active was taking a huge toll on my dragon heart and thus I released them after which they suddenly realized that their surrounding has been changed.

We were on a plane land covered with green grass, on one edge of the land was a big river and on other edge a magnificent black mountain reaching the clouds in the sky.

"Where is this place my lord?" Andrew asked breaking out of his stupor.

"You will know by the end of this meeting." I said, the answer to his question was already included in one of my contingency plan.

Hearing my answer they had relaxed expression on their faces, but suddenly their instincts alerted them and they surrounded me facing all direction, their backs toward me trying to protect me from whatever the threat which was approaching us from all direction.

"Hahaha, Good instinct lizards." A proud voice came from the direction Andrew was facing and then 10 beasts stepped out from the shadow in the blink of an eye surrounding all of us.

Then all 10 of them bowed their heads showing their respect towards me, it was the gesture of respect I had engraved in their minds by beating them for god knows how many years.

The quiet and empty plane on which we have arrived has suddenly become chaotic, with beast glaring at all retainers and retainers staring at the beast both sides thinking about best way to kill the other party.

"You guys will be working together in the near future; all of you line up and hear the one final mission I have for you." Hearing my order they dropped whatever thoughts they had in their minds and lined up eagerly waiting for the briefing.

"I will be dividing you both into 2 teams, team 1 will come with me to the tower and team 2 will begin its mission as soon as king with its leader and me have entered the Tower." I said while reading the expression of all of them which clearly of confusion.

"The team which will go with me will be fighting against leaders and king and whatever he has prepared for me; Team 2 will start its movement after we have entered the tower."

"The mission which team 2 has to carry is not to fight for me, but a rescue mission." I said and all the Retainers had unbelieving expression on their faces.

"It will take us at least 1 year to reach the final portal and therefore the time limit in which Team 2 have to complete its mission is 1 year." I said explaining the time they have and nature of mission.

"Now let me explain you, who is the person you have to rescue and why now." I said.

"In the past when I was roaming the Dragon realm for answers to my questions, I had encountered an ancient inheritance of a forgotten dragon family whose power we have never heard of, which was the ability to control 'Time'."

"By the looks what remained of the remnant of that inheritance, if I wanted to learn more about them, I had to go to a place where no dragon would ever think of going 'The infamous Abyss'." When my words ended I heard the gulping sound of few retainers.

Nobody would willingly wish to enter the hell unless he is stupid, but I was not stupid I had the reason.

I had been different from other dragons since my birth. They were nothing more than power hungry beast in my eyes, always trying to occupy top of the food chain but I was more of an adventurer, alone since the birth I had always kept myself entertained, always trying to venture in unknown abyss was just any other place for me.

"After entering abyss and continuous fighting with remnant soul and some strange creature I encountered the sealed Ancient dragon will purposefully waiting for me there as if it was certain that one day I would come there."

"In that prison, I was able to evolve into the realm of Primordial dragon, improve my abilities to the new heights and become someone who I am today, he imparted me with most of his knowledge, and in return he asked me just one favor." I paused few second for others to catch up to what I was saying.

"To save the last person of his lineage, it is to save his only daughter from where she is being experimented by royal family." I said with a deep voice containing many emotions.

"He has asked me to rescue her before I plan to kill king, because if I kill king before she is rescued then the dragons there will kill her without any second thoughts to get rid of any evidence against royal family." I continued to answer their unspoken question such as why not rescue her after we have cleared the tower and killed the king.

"I myself had tried to go and rescue her in the past but when I was near the location, the Soul contract automatically activated restraining me from taking any further action, it was indication that my actions will harm the royal family directly and I had to resort to such indirect methods." I explained them why I couldn't accompany them.

The fate which that dragon family has suffered was same as mine and many other I knew , even If my teacher hasn't asked me to rescue her I would have done the same thing I am doing now.

"Damn it, how many innocent dragons has those bastards killed to satisfy their greed, how many dirty secrets are they hiding, I swear in the name of my sword, I am going to slaughter all the leaders and whole royal family." One of my 3rd strongest retainers Demion spoke gritting his teeth finding his situation similar to what I have just described.

    The one who spoke this time was Demion, the youngest of all the retainers; and the 3rd strongest retainer.I had recruited him when he was just a Dragonight probably at the age of 100 years. I was on a mission issued to me by king to subdue some rebel dragons and that is when I encountered a young Dragon at the peak stage of Dragonight realm.Considering he belonged to the noble family, their eggs took at least 100 years to hatch and another 100 year or so for dragonling to evolve depending on the talent. That is why I could tell he was rare even among the geniuses to have come this far.But the thing that attracted my attention was that he was being hunted by the most powerful leader's family the 1st family.Intrigued by how the situation will unfold, I followed him from the shadow; saw him fight against other dragonight and even dragon lord realm soldiers with sword in his hands and without turning into his true dragon form.The first family had the ability to control flames to the

    The atmosphere changed the moment the Z ranked beast had stepped foot out of portal, the sky began to turn red and sweat started to gather on the faces of all retainers. An X ranked beast has already been termed as the pinnacle of beast evolution in the universe, they were held as king of beasts each possessing uncommon ability and intelligence. But Z ranked beast whose existence was unknown to many, I knew what status they possessed even among beast. They were held as gods, not only having unique ability and intelligence but also having understanding of law, the rules that governs this world. "Are you certain you want to utilize that favor now?" He asked. "Yes." I said nodding my head. He was one of the trump card I had saved in order to deal with uncertainties kings would have planned. He was the only beast I couldn't subdue but killing him in past seemed too troublesome and wasteful and therefore I had told him to help me once when I need him. And this was certainly the situat

    I teleported outside the capital's outer boundary because the whole capital was surrounded by Anti teleportation array and other defensive measures in order to prevent any attack on the city. It was more like an impenetrable fortress than city. The Royal guards standing outside the gate sensing my presence opened the gates for me and sent the message to the main palace of my arrival. It was quite a hassle to travel from outer wall to the main palace in flying vehicles which took half an hour but nothing can be done about it. I could reach faster by flying but it was the process everyone has to follow. The flying vehicle was like a giant white egg, which used either mana crystal or Users own mana to fly from one place to another. It was faster and comfortable mode of travel at the speed which brock the sound barrier. It also helped in avoiding the accidents of Dragons crashing into each other while flying and fighting over it. From outside people couldn't see who was inside the veh

    "We greet the Guardian." The present 6 leaders and 1 guardian stood on their seats and greeted me by folding their hands. Even if they didn't like it, it was an unspoken law in dragon realm to respect those stronger than you, nobody knew who created it but it was imprinted in the genes of every dragon since its birth."It is an honor for me as well, please take your seat." I said walking past them taking the seat designated for me.The conference room was not any less majestic than the Throne room of king where he had his seat high above all the other leaders which indicated his position. One level beneath him was two seats reserved for Guardian and then there were ten seats facing each other in two rows.Sometimes I thought if he had to make conference room look like throne room why even bother building one.But it indicated the king's pride that we will never be able to sit on same level as him. But nobody was unaware of his fake prestige which he always tried to maintain, why else

  • The Throne of Sovereignty    Chapter 11 Draconic weapons

    Dragons had always placed all other species beneath them and therefore tried as much as not to rely on them. In the past when the discovery of beast core was made along with that, many other inventions came to light. Beast cores were more potent source of mana than mana crystal which naturally formed in the place rich of mana. At that time it was discovered that with the help of beast core weapons can also be made with some of the beast ability intact, which was the great boost in power of Dragon. But the noble dragons disliked the weapon made by beast core, it was disgusting for them even to hold such weapons in their hands and therefore a new method of weapon forging was invented and such weapon were termed as draconic weapons. In this method instead of using the beast core the dragon heart was used as the main source of power. The higher the realm of dragon heart the powerful the weapon. The dragon heart was basically a hard stone like object in the body of every dragon, it was

    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.

I said sensing the eagerness of beasts to fight the leader tailing us.Out of the two beasts who were accompanying me one of name was rhino. He was a 20 meter tall muscular humanoid beast. His skin was so though that I doubt even demion's sword could pierce his skin and he had a 3 meter long sharp horn protruding from his head because of this feature he resembled a humanoid rhino but his ability lies somewhere else.The other beast, he was a spider type beast initially but after evolving into an X ranked

    [Void Slash]Swishhhh…A silent wind passed between me and morris. When I lowered the sword [Aurora], there was nothing but empty space between me and morris but I had to face a great difficulty cutting the empty air because I was not only cutting the air but space itself.There were many conditions which needed to be satisfied to perform this technique and one of them was to have an unbreakable sword. If I had tried to perform this attack with my sword [Punisher] it would have broken halfway through because this 12th sword technique put that much pressure on the user and sword.There were very few known swords in the dragon realm, which were capable of cutting space without breaking, one of them was [Aurora] in my hand and other was king Azmath's draconic weapon.Right now what I was using was not a void based ability but a realization of small part of law of void I have gained with the help of Lord Alex and its compatibility with my sword technique.This ability on top of consuming
