Dragon Maken War Chapter 214 - Stolen (1)

Chapter 214 - Stolen (1)

1

The believers of the G.o.d were waiting. They wanted a modern day miracle. They wanted proof.

The people of this world wors.h.i.+pped many G.o.ds. No one knew if their G.o.ds actually existed. Even if a G.o.d was able to prove his existence in this era, it would merely become a legend. It would become a page in the long history of this world.

However, there was a G.o.d that was an exception to this rule.

“Oh my king…….”

At that moment, all the Dragon Demon King wors.h.i.+ppers of the continent were watching.

There was a pillar of darkness stretching from the ground to the ends of the heaven.

“The day has finally arrived…….”

Not all humans could see it. However, all Dragon Demon King wors.h.i.+ppers could see it.

It didn’t matter how far it was. It didn’t matter if the terrain or weather got in the way. Nothing could obstruct the Dragon Demon King wors.h.i.+ppers from viewing it….

All Dragon Demon King wors.h.i.+ppers could see it, and they knew what it implied on instinct.

It was happening just as the prophecy said it would happen. Dragon Demon King Atein was back from the dead.

“You really are alive again, Atein.”

At the land located east of the continent, an enormous dragon mumbled to itself. It was the very first Dragon to win the Dragon Slayer’s Ritual to acquire his wisdom. It was Albatan.

“Hmm. I still have no idea what he wants to do. Will he conquer the world once again to bring change to the world?”

Albatan asked the question to a dragon with dark blue scales. Overall, it had a sleek form. It was a water dragon. It was known for its command over the power of water. It was much smaller than Albatan, but it possessed the size of a common dragon. It was Libetan, who was the dragon to earn wisdom after Albatan.

Albatan spoke.

“The only thing that is certain is that he is going to do something grand.”

“Anyone could guess that.”

Albatan turned to Libetan, who had scolded him.

A Dragon Demon youth was walking towards the entrance leading to Albatan’s dwelling. He looked disheveled, but he possessed an eye catching blue white hair. He possessed white horns like a mountain goat, and he had green eyes. It was the 1st generation Dragon Demon Reshoo, who had created the Dragon Soul.

When Reshoo arrived in front of him, Albatan asked a question.

“Are you planning on leaving?”

“Yes. Atein is calling for me.”

Rehoo and Atein had last met at the end of the Great Darkness. Baion, who was known as a sage, was a.s.sa.s.sinated by the ugly intention of the temple. Baion had been one of Atein’s reincarnation. As Baion’s life ended, Atein had woken up, and he had tried to take care of any lingering attachments left behind by Baion. At the time, Reshoo had been concealing his ident.i.ty as he protected Baion. At the end, Atein asked for Reshoo to partic.i.p.ate in his cause.

The human world was overflowing with tragedies, and Reshoo had been disgusted by it. That was why he had accepted Atein’s offer. He started believing in the idea that Atein might be able to solve the problem.

Albatan spoke.

“We might be enemies when we next meet.”

“Who knows? If it does turn out like that…. I won’t go easy on you.”

“How scary. Reshoo, do you really believe that you are making the right choice?”

At Albatan’s question, Reshoo mulled over the question for a brief moment. He shook his head from side to side.

“…I have no idea.”

“Then why are you going out of your way to help Atein? If he is wrong, the resulting situation might be ruinous.”

“I really love this forest.”

Reshoo let out a bright smile.

It was a world where humans had gained supremacy. Albatan had created a Demonic land called the Albatan Forest to protect the weak. These were beings that were headed for extinction.

The weak fall prey to the strong. It was the rule of nature. It was logical for the strong to rule over the world. However, everything needed moderation and balance. Since humanity’s greed had grown to an uncontrollable level, Albatan had taken in the weak that were chased out by humans. He established a land enclosed by a fence where the survival of one’s species was guaranteed.

He had created Albatan forest with such intention. However, it was also true that the Albatan forest was more primitive and brutal than the outside world. The Albatan forest also followed the law of the jungle. There was violence amongst residents, and they fought for power within the forest.

Despite this fact, Reshoo liked the forest. It was barbaric, but everyone followed the rules and they kept to the code of honor.

“You created a birdcage, old man. That isn’t the answer I want. I still haven’t found the answer in my lifetime. I decided to gamble on someone that might be able to find the answer I want.”

As a result, he would have to fight against his beloved homeland. Reshoo didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity.

Suddenly, Albatan spoke.

“You’ll have to fight Azell to the death.”

“It is inevitable. Unfortunately…..”

When Reshoo spoke to Azell last time, he made it sound as if the fight between them was an uncertainty. However, Reshoo already knew this truth at the time of the conversation.

Azell couldn’t forgive Atein.

Azell had hesitated to fight Reshoo. Azell’s state of confusion meant that he had avoided resolving the uncertainty between him and Reshoo. However, if Azell fought against Atein, it was inevitable that he would end up fighting Reshoo.

“It is something I am willing to do.”

Reshoo had already hardened his resolve. The Albatan forest had become Reshoo’s home and Azell was his friend. Reshoo would have to turn against them. He wouldn’t go back on his decision.

“I should go now. I hope I do not have to meet you as an enemy, old man. Of course, that isn’t up to me.”

Reshoo ended his short goodbye, and he left.

Atein opened his eyes.

The darkness surrounding him dispersed, and his vision returned. It was as if he had awoken from a long sleep. Atein was in a haze as he looked at the world.

“How beautiful.”

It was a feeling that was very hard to express.

His surrounding was devastated. Until not too long ago, this location had been a dense forest. There were only signs of destruction now. Everything was broken no matter where one looked. The trees and rocks were broken in a haphazard manner. The ground looked unsightly as if it had been dug up.

Atein looked at the sight as if he was mesmerized.

“It is still beautiful.”

His eyes headed towards the sky. The sky also didn’t match his words. The sky was hazy. It made one feel depressed just looking at it.

However, everything was eye blindingly beautiful in Atein’s eyes. These were sensations that could never be felt in the world of death. For a very long time, he had observed his reincarnation, while he was a step away from being alive. Now he was walking the earth in his own body. When he breathed in the air, the feeling evoked by the action moved him deeply.

Suddenly, he heard someone’s voice.

<…did his mind become affected because he was dead for so long?>

“You are being rude to his majesty.”

“You didn’t really observe manners in the past either.”
