"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
"After winning the war against Demon race in Year ...…. Due to the great contribution of previous guardian Adam of the void, dragon race was set to flourish and rule the world.""But Guardian Adam betrayed the dragon race, sealing us in far edge of the universe, apart from all other races." It continued."Guardian Adam was the most powerful dragon in the dragon realm, said to have reached pinnacle of our evolution Dragon god realm having command over everything in the universe, but due to his decision of betraying dragon race he died, but the seal placed by him still exist.""It was presumed for thousands of years that until another dragon god is born into the world, the dragon race will be sealed forever but that hypothesis changed when one of his expeditions 6th family leader discovered a floating piece of land in empty space nothing on it except a purple portal.""On further expedition and research it was ascertained that it was a creation of previous guardian Adam and key to unloc
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. 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
