Biography

Season 1

In his base form, he spent most of his body immersed in a lava lake in the cave of 'Ezekie Sh'Karstein', meaning the Karstein's flame, the largest dormant volcano in the Lartead Mountains since 2000 years ago. In 1000 years ago, he spread his wings for the last time, and in 500 years ago, he polymorphed for the last time. However, in 304 AC, he spread his wings and became a polymorph for the first time in a long time.

He shouted to Karsearin that those bastards were cowardly scum who'd stab an innocent dragon in the back, just to attain some title and satisfy their greed. In 304 AC, Arin thought even him, who was always benevolent, would get worked up and angry, whenever anyone mentioned a Dragon Slayer.

He kept a copy of the Book of Terold Croword, the Archmage in his nest at the Ezekie Sh'Karstein the Lartead Mountains, Gaianes Empire & Karsel Kingdom of the Six Nations Alliance of Heid, but the book is stolen by Karsearin, who kept it in his nest in the Al Kreed Mountains. After 6 months, Karsearin read the book and transformed into a human, and ran away from home.

Gaianes, an empire located in the central part of the continent, and the Six Nations Alliance of Heid, an empire in the west. Located on the border between the two regions were a great mountain range. The Lartead Mountains. Here lives, he, an ancient Red Dragon that's lived for over five millennia. Inside the volcano, someone shouted he ran away from home because he kept egging him on, him, just why he did give a book of spells to a child, if only he didn't spur him on, he wouldn't have done such a thing. A beautiful woman with long red hair was a Red Dragon Karsenian, who's Arin's mother to glare with anger. Someone spoke from the lava that she thought he gave hi the book, Karsenian, that rascal stole it, after all he has done for him. Lava rose and a huge dragon appeared. He's an ancient Red Dragon, Karstein de Red. He said it's so wrong to tell him about the old days, she make it sound like he really egged him on, to think that rascal was born into their Red clan, he's a disgrace to them all. Karsenian screamed in annoyance that what does he mean, a disgrace to them all. He said oh, come on, he's the first dragon in history to run away from home, it really will go down in history. Karsenian shouted he was being sarcastic right now, he isn't worried about Arin. He said hmph, he won't let that rascal get away with this once he came back, how dare he steal his possession. Karsenian said he was just an old geezer who's been moping away deep in the mountain ranges for the pas thousand years, what's so wrong about taking one book. He angry because he heard that he's an old geezer, so he said to Karsenian that how dare she disrespect her elders, no wonder Arin was a troublemaker, he took after her. She said to him that what he did say. At this time, someone comes to them and said now, now, calm down, they too. Karsenian surprised and shouted he's the Red Dragon King. The Red Dragon King said he'll deal with Arin himself, honestly, he's flustered, this has never happened before, when he returns to his original form, he'll sense his transformation. Karsenian asked he's only a 300-year-old chlid, it will really be all right. Karsenian cries and said she's tearing up just thinking about her poor Arin, who must be struggling in the human world right about now. The Red Dragon King said Arin will be just fine. The Red Dragon King about whether it was right Arin was poor. The Red Dragon King said his body was already as big as an adult dragons, and trust him and rest easy, them two, he'll take care of it. Arin rushed and shouted whoa, amazing. Arin said there are so many humans and houses, and there are a bunch of mysterious items everywhere too, just as he said humans really like living in groups.

Arin thought for some reason, they don't seem to be in a good mood, strange, he's sure he told him that, humans kill dragons just to attain a title and satisfy their greed. Arin asked by any chance, the book did mention a dragon named Karstein. Mina answered him, oh, it did, but there wasn't much, it said, "An ancient Red Dragon that lives in the Lartead Mountains. Extremely violent. Do not approach." that was all. That seemed to have been written correctly again. Arin thought that sounds pretty accurate, so what's with his description.

Season 2

Pluto continued asking questions as if he didn't understand that Gaster is serious, how that's possible, there's no way unless Largo crossed the Lartead Mountains. Gaster shouted as unbelievable as it may sound, that's exactly what they did, Pluto saw, the Red Dragon... ...might be involved in the Gaianes Empire's assult. At the same time, Pluto's complexion hardened. Pluto said G-Gaster don't mean that Karsel Kingdom might end up fighting him, fight, get it straight. Gaster shouted he's an ancient dragon, Arin and Grateus do not even come close to his power, they're nothing more than flies before his might. Gaster sighed deeply and said he just hope this is he messing around for fun and not being serious, crap... why do such beings even exist in this world.

Terold said he has got it wrong Gaster, that Hatchling may only be 300 years old, but he seems to be a mutant, he's three times bigger than other dragons his own age, even Lord called him Arin as a pet name. Now not only Vera but also Gaster became thoughtful. The blood drains from everyone's faces in an instant and they turn pale. Terold said wait, he know the dragon, hd didn't mess with him, he did. Vera answered with tears in her eyes that well, she did throw him off a three-story building once. Terold surprised. Pluto said and he stabbed him a bunch of times with his sword, he thought. Pluto looked vain. Terold surprised. Gaster muttered absentmindedly that he rammed a Meteor into his face. Terold's expression became strange.

Terold said Karsel's done for. Terold said this is different from when he killed Grateus, an adult dragon, how he could harm a Hatchling, especially the Hatchling of a Red Dragon, the only silver lining is that he didn't kill the Hatchling, the moment he found out that the Hatchling was harmed, he may not end humanity, but they should brace theirselves for him wiping Karsel off the map. Gaster clenched his fist and said dammit, that does leave them with only one choice, kill them or be killed. He was in a boiling lava lake, and someone shouted another was kidding them, Eorin, the Hatchling of the Black clan, also ran away from home. Another said yes, it's an emergency, what if the humans harm their dear Eorin. Someone said at least Eorin knew how to cast seventh circle spells, so it shouldn't be a huge problem, but Arin only knows how to polymorph into a human. Another said at least Arin was almost as big as an adult, they're more worried about their frail Eorin. Eyra said to Karsenian that why Arin did have to run from home anyway when all he knew how to does was polymorph, it's been a bad influence on her dear Eorin. Karsenian angry and shouted excuse her, does what her daughter running away from home have to does with her Arin. He, who was watching them as if he were pathetic while submerged in the lava lake, opened his mouth that whey they were fighting here, this was a contest to see whose child is the bigger fool. The two women who were fighting joined forced to divert their nerves and shouted fool. Even if he was a 5,000-year-old ancient dragon, it was still scary. He said nevermind, forget what he said. A young man in his mid-20s with black, short hair opened his mouth instead that the fact that the two Hatchlings ran away from home was actually problematic, being harmed by the humans, was nothing compared to the real problem. Karsenian asked the real problem, what sould that be, King Erkas. Erkas, who's the representative of the Black Dragon clan, said they might be loved by humans. He became agitated, causing ripples throughout the lava lake, shouted right, why he didn't think of that. Then Karsenian tilted her head and asked why would being loved by humans be dangerous, she has lived all sorts of lives, and it's never been a problem, in her most recent life, she tried marrying a distant descendant. Erkas thought they're so distracted. Eyra said one human loved her so much that he turned into a lich. Someone said well, he once tried transforming into a domestic dog and living solely on his instincts, even the Dragon Lord was living as a cat right now. Erkas said they dragons were complete and perfect beings, which maked their day-to-day lived very boring, for that reason, they try living as other species purely for Entertainment, other species feel pain because they were weak, but the pain causes them to live to the fullest, however, this only applied to dragons that have already formed a complete sense of self, ineed they can differentiate between the life of a dragon and Entertainment, however, for the Hatchlings, they risk not being able to tell apart the lives they lead for fun and their true lives as dragons, human life in particular was full of all kinds of emotions, if they can't treat their relationship with humans as pure Entertainment, and if they can't let go of the countless goodbyes, sorrows, rage, and pain they experience as humans even when transforming back into a dragon, they will lose their sanity in less than a millennium.

Largo raised Storm Bringer high and shouted loudly that however, he has the dragon's power with him, now, he shall avenge the imperial soildiers that he killed.

Darios said the storm is fueled by the dragon's power, it's unstoppable... ...unless they fight back with a Ninth Circle spell...

Pluto muttered crap, what a pain in the neck, the Imperial army is holding them back, they also need to find the seals before he found out that they messed with the hatchling.

Seria said yes, she found out where the Almighty Creature was sealed. Rake shouted as he thought, Aslan already knew... so, where it was. Seria continued hesitantly and said well... ...it's in the Lartead Mountains, situated along the border between the Gaianes Empire and the Six Nations Alliance of Heid, specifically, it's inside Ezekie Sh'Karstein, the biggest volcano there, in other words, it's where the Ancient Dragon's lair was, it's the perfect place, really, it can't get any safer than an Ancient Dragon sitting atop the seal. Rake's complexion hardened for a moment and shouted n-no... that's the worst. Kiadrys said this was the worst... ...did Arin really cross over to the place called the empire... Archiad. A wide cave with no end in sight. He and a few humans who're Kiadrys, Karsenian, Eyra, Erkas, a blue-haired young man called Archiad and Helmernod were each sitting in a cavity so large that it was a wonder they could survive.

Archiad who's polymorphed said back then, he didn't realize Arin was so young, even though he was a hatchling, he didn't look like one, his body was that of an adult dragon, anyway, he flew off in the direction of the mainland, judging by the duration of his flight, he's sure he's at least reached the empire. He who's soaked in lava said what a pain in the neck... the empire was so vast, won't it be harder to find Arin there. Archiad said by the way, why was Arin so massive in dragon form, he has never seen such a huge hatchling before. Then Karsenian quietly intervened and said obviously... ...wasn't that because Arin was his son. Suddenly, he looked at the tall green-haired elf young man in the corner, opened his mouth in confusion, and asked by the way, Helmernod, what he's doing here. Looking at him who was rolling his huge eyes, Helmernod, the green-haired elf, frowned and shouted he has forgotten, he ruined his forest, Elder, since he's roped into this mess, he'd like to hurry and put an end to this situation. At this time, a blonde person wearing the robe shouted that someone has something to say too. Erkas turned his head to the person. He asked to the person that who they're, which Clan they were from. The person took off their hat, revealed their face, and said it's an honor to meet him, Elder. The person said her name was Rosarahim... ...the descendant of Raflaet the Gold Dragon. He asked that's why Rosarahim came all the way here. Rosarahim answered, oh, she also heard about what happened to the Red Clan and the Black Clan, the issue of the missing hatchlings concerned the entire dragon Clan, so she'd like to help, however little. Erkas shouted they should stop going off on a tangent, they can please focus on the topic at hand. Then he also slowly moved his gigantic body and said indeed. After a while, a boy with red hair, about 12 years old, who had never been seen before, appeared on the ground near the lava lake and said it looked like they'll have to get moving to get anything done. Rosarahim look in her eyes as if she were looking at her own younger brother and said how adorable, Elder. Karsenian once again gave an honest response and said he can please act his age, old man. Archiad immediately performed an advanced spatial movement spell without any chanting and spoke their destination was the Southern Region of the Gaianes Empire, let's depart now. In an instant, a large portal was created in the air. He thought hmm, going back to what they said about Arin... ...apparently, he's abnormally big and his location cannot be detected, could it be... ...nah, there's no way. He headed to the gate and thought Elsanad... ...was ancient history.

The Southern Region of the Gaianes Empire, Huesnop. Citizens flocked to the pub to relieve the fatigue of the day with a cold beer. Someone open the door and the owner of the pub said welcome, come on in... The owner of the pub was surprised. He walked and asked hmm, this was the sounthern empire. Kiadrys said yes, Sir, they'll start their search here and ask around. He asked ask around, how. The pub customers were surprised to see this and were not keen on drinking and thought huh, why was an adult speaking so formally to a young boy, he was an aristocrat. He asked Kartanas doesn't live nearby. Kiadrys answered to him that he doubt Kartanas will be of much help, when it came to questions about the human world, he should ask humans directly. The pub customers thought Kartanas, the red wyrm living in the Catinas Mountains, who in the world they're, neither their conversations nor their demeanor make sense, they could be dragons polymorphed into humans. Karsenian shouted there he was, he old fart, this was no time to be drinking. He said all right, let's go around and share their ideas. They sat down and ordered beer. One said why they don't order the most powerful human in this city to find Arin. The other said she want to ask a human to look for a runaway hatchling, it'll be a disgrace to their entire clan, plus, Elder already tried that tactic. At that time, Rosarahim, who had been quiet until now, slightly raised her hand and spoke oh, she has an idea... Rosarahim said why they don't hire a guild of thieves. Rosarahim said let's go find a guild of thieves and hire them to search for Arin based on his appearance, if they stay discreet, he won't be able to hide from them, right. Archiad said it sounds like a good idea. Helmernod said yes, it's a much better plan than recklessly sending a massive army. He said great, they'll go with this plan. Kiadrys asked there was a guild of thieves nearby. Rosarahim answered she's sure they'll find one if they search the back alleys of a bigger city. Someone said then let's get going right away. Archiad created light. The unidentified party disappeared along with the light. The pub customers shocked expressions and shouted th-they vanished into thin air, he knew there was more to them, could it be... The owner of the pub opened his mouth with a trembling voice that those people... ...they did just leave without paying. The owner of the pub was cried and shouted they drank eight glasses of beer, which came to... nooo. The pub customers thought apparently, dine and dash was scarier than dragons...

Arin said no kidding, it's as big as his grandpa. After being puzzled for a moment, Seton asked huh, his grandpa. Yuna was embarrassed and said A-Arin's grandfather must be a big man.

Season 3

Frowning, Rake paced around his room. Rake said goodness... he's so damn restless, it's been two months already, yet they haven't made any progress, so what if they have Liegis and Parousia, they can't do anything with only two seals. Rake thought he can't believe Aslan intended to take the last seals that the Dragon Slayers stole, even if he succeededm the Almighty Creature is sealed inside Ancient Dragon's lair in the Lartead Mountains. Rake said they're left with only one option, here over to the final destination and wait there.

Seria was surprised and shouted what. Seria shouted Rake is suggesting they go to his lair, that's a suicide mission. Rake said at this rate, the only way to attain the Almighty Creature's power is to intercept the Dragon Slayers when they break the seal, yes, it's dangerous, but a dragon won't bother itself to get rid of just him. Rake shouted dammit, he has come too far to give up.

Capital city of the Southern Empire, Idelon. On a street with a considerable number of pedestrians, a group of handsome men and beautiful women walked down the street, drawing all the attention of those around them. Rosarahim said they're almost there. Rosarahim said here it's, they've arrived at the Guild of Thieves. They stood in front of a three-story building. Helmernod said what a nice house, thieves back then didn't live in such fine places. Eyra said they'll look for Eorin as soon as they find Arin, right, then what they're waiting for, let's go. Rosarahim said with a forced smile that oh, let her enter first, these kinds of guilds don't open their doors the normal way. He asked huh, it's such a big hassle. He looked at the inn indifferently, said then he'll open the door for them. He wiggled his fingers. Someone asked what. He said open. The inn split into left and right. Rosarahim was surprised and asked whoa, how he did do that, Lord. He answered through the power of the Dragon Language, Rosarahim will learn to do it just as easily when she's his age, that meant he has to wait a few more millennia... Karsenian asked what is that. Rosarahim asked the palace, that's where Arin is, he's made it big. Archiad answered it's the Tower of Razel, the tower that Brodalean built when he was dreaming of being a dwarf. He smirked and said Brodalean... from the Silver Clan, a silver-haired dwarf huh, what a sight that must have been.

As the sun was setting, at this time, he was surprised. He asked ...huh... what's with that building. Kiadrys wondered. He said the one over there, it's shaking. Kiadrys answered that can't be, he doesn't even sense magic about it, so why the tower would shake... Parts of the Tower of Razel began to crumble away, sending up clouds of yellow dust. He asked the building is being remodeled. Karsenian cried out angrily that he's serious, they have no time to waste, Arin is in there right now. He asked but it's really Arin down there. Kiadrys saw something. He said it's hard to see through the dust... ...but Arin's breath wasn't this powerful before. Archiad said let's clear away the dust first. Archiad held out his right hand, light appeared there and he said Tornado.

Archiad said he created a gust of wind to give them some visibility, it's not powerful enough to harm a full-grown dragon, so they can check if it is indeed Arin or not. Helmernod said there. Helmernod shouted he saw the dragon... He shouted Arin. Eyra shouted Eorin. Karsenian said huh. Eyra shouted look, it's her dear Eorin. He said what gave, they're here to find Arin, so what's Eyra's daughter doing there. Kiadrys said ...that's what he'd like to know. Eyra spread her hands, shook her power and shouted magic, begone, Anti-Magic Shell. Archiad said dragons just don't know when to hold back, right, why Eyra would use Anti-Magic Shell of all things, now, they can't use magic either. The dragons fell without stopping. Karsenian shouted no wonder Eyra's daughter ran away. Rosarahim said um, that's rich coming from her, Karsenian. He said if they can't use magic... ...then just ignore the laws of magic altogether. He said hover. His tiny body soon stopped falling and landed safely on a point in the air. He said the dragon language sure came in handy, imagine the great Ancient Dragon dying from a fall, that would have been so embarrassing. The dragons shouted Lord, come on, what about them. He said they're dragons, they wouldn't die from a fall... right.

He who floating alone in the sky above Idelon and just watching them from afar, said those punks, how dare they run away again... ...after all the hassle they caused. He waved his small right hand in the air and said enclose. At that moment, a vast light rose up in front of Eorin. Eorin shouted this is... ...a Magic Barrier. The magnificent golden pillars of light that rose along the border of Idelon soon slowly spread out around them, connecting with each other to form a huge curtain, covering the sky and forming a huge lid. Rosarahim said with a burst of admiration that whoa, what a huge Magic Barrier... ...he lived up to his reputation as an Ancient Dragon, so this is the power of Elder, the strongest dragon of his clan. Erkas said indeed, it's truly incredible, while he can also create a basic Magic Barrier, what Rosarahim saw there is an absolute safeguard that thwarted any magical or physical intrusion, to think he can instantly encompass the entire city with a mere flick of his finger... ...when it came to sheer power, Elder surpassed the Ancient Dragon Lord, who represented their kind, he has already reached the peak of his powers. Rosarahim asked how he can be so strong, he's not even in his original form. Helmernod answered that's what he'd like to ask, the Red Clan is indeed the strongest... Erkas said in any case, it's now up to the Red Clan to deal with thier family affairs, let them not intrude any further. Archiad said it was a new experience for him as well, child of the Gold Clan. He asked so... ...why he's refusing to come back home, Arin. Arin answered he must return Aria to her original form. He asked so it's because of a promise him made with a human. Arin answered yes. He thought what a pain in the neck, this kid... ...he's became more entwined with humans than he expected.

He asked so... ...she's Aria, the one that Arin mentioned, she should come closer. Aria answered yes, Sir. Aria approached him, answering shortly. He said goodness, Aria is so tall, she should kneel down before him. Aria answered yes, Sir... He used his magic on Aria, who was kneeling quietly, and examined her. He thought Arin promised to revert Aria's original form, that does mean she's not human. He was surprised and suddenly muttered that what kind of messed-up fool created this. Arin wondered. After a while, He opened his mouth as if in disbelief that this is... ...the Almighty Creature. Pete was surprised and shouted what, Aria is... the Almighty Creature. Erkas looked at him and asked indifferently that what's with that human. Helmernod said what's wrong with him. He said to Pete that ...why he does look so shocked, he seemed to know something. Pete swallowed. Pete opened his mouth cautiously to him that he'll tell him everything... ...noble dragon. Pete said ...and so, according to Charlene... ...Aria's physical body was modified into the Vessel of the Soul, a forbidden sorcery used to create dragons... He asked what. He asked Pete should stop right there, what was that about the Vessel of the Soul. Pete said ah, yes, the Vessel of the Soul is a forbidden sorcery used to create dragons... He smirked. He suddenly burst into laughter that hahaha, the Vessel of the Soul is a forbidden sorcery used to create dragons. Pete asked huh... Rosarahim shouted wahaha, humans have such silly misunderstandings. Archiad said the story has been told by those with short lifespans, it could easily be relayed inaccurately. Pete asked excuse him... ...pardon him for asking, but this does mean the Vessel of the Soul is not the forbidden sorcery that created dragons. He asked human child, the one called Aria does... ...have any features related to dragons. Pete was surprised. Pete thought he has a point, he had no doubt since it was Charlene who told him... ...this is... ...an opportunity. Pete said o venerable beings of eternal existence... ...they mortals have yet to recieve the full truth, he would graciously impart his wisdom... to this young and humble soul. Pete knelt down. He asked where a kid did like him learn to speak like an old fart. He looked back and spoke with a soft smile on his lips that well, this is a good opportunity, he two should also come and listen, it's something every hatchling has to learn eventually, they should come Arin, Eorin. He said well, then, he shall start the story from the very beginning. Arin dozed off with clear saliva flowing from his soft lips, slightly open beneath his cute face. He looked embarrassed and said it's too boring for him, Arin, goodness, he's already nodding off... Eorin also drolling and raised her hand and said Elder, she was listening. He said she was also falling asleep, Eorin. He said that was how humankind came to be. Pete thought it aligned with Charlene's story to an extent, however... Pete asked he's saying that the gods they worshipped and placed their faith in... were nothing more than cogs in the wheel that is the world, furthermore... ...this does meant that they humans... ...were genegades that go against the nature of this world. He answered well, that's how the so-called gods defined him... ...and they're not entirely wrong, whether it's dragons, humans... ...or any other intelligent beings, they all have the potential to disrupt the world, but rather than existing perpetually as cogs in a wheel following established rules... ...it's not better to enjoy freedom while waiting for obliteration, that's not the meaning of life. Rosarahim shouted wow, well said. Karsenian said she doesn't fall for it, Goldie, that old fart is just repeating what he heard when he was little. He said in an angry tone that shut up. The dragon command burst into Karsenian's mouth. Someone raised a hand and said so... Arin said ...just when... ...he was going to talk about Aria.

Arin looking dissatisfied asked him that how long he's going to ramble on about such difficult topics, he should hurry up and tell him about Aria. He said Arin, he little... Pete thought eek, he knew it... He said ...Arin was listening to him, after all... all right, he'll wrap it up quickly. Arin glared at him as if he was dissatisfied and replied so, what's his point, he can turn Aria into a human. He said fine, he'll get to the point. Pete said Arin... He blurted it out that it's impossible, how Arin can transform something into a human when it was never a human to start with. Kiadrys asked what if... they cast a permanent Polymorph spell on Aria, it would be difficult for the humans, but not them... He chuckled and said Kiadrys should try it and see if it works. Kiadrys used his polymorph spell on Aria. Kiadrys said it's not working. He said as shoddy as it's, it's still the Almighty Creature at the end of the day, it's completely immune to enchantment and mind control, physical magic might work, but there's no point since it can regenerate, but how they did grant divine power, it's only a speck, but still, humans in this day and age should be unable to harness divine power... Erkas said he felt the energy of a White Dragon, it must be Grateus, they probably used the divine power ingained within the Dragon Heart. He said oh, that explained it, geez, why they did have to make it so flimsy, they had made it properly, it would have been easier to recognize... Pete thought how the dragons could talk so casually about... ...a fellow dragon killed by humans. After grumbling for a moment, he turned to Arin and said he should just give up, that thing can't become a human. Arin shouted what. Arin replied as if he was being ridiculous that but Charlene said it's possible, she said there have been cases where they successfully reverted to being human. He said Charlene. Rosarahim opened her mouth quickly that Charlene is the human who used to rule this land, Lord, considering that she's a mage of the Eighth Circle, it's not completely unfounded. He thought about something and said hmm. Then he said with a curious expression that interesting, perhaps he'll hold back on returning home, he'll go find this so-called Charlene... He said ...wait... Charlene is the ruler, then she must have lived in the castle. A dejected voice leaked out of his mouth that Charlene is still alive... He saw a scene of terrible destruction. Eorin said Charlene is alive, Elder, the spell she cast hasn't been undone yet, when she first arrived, she cast an Absolute Magic Seal on her. He shouted Eorin should stop speaking in riddles. Within a few minutes, he reached his destination and twirled his finger. He said rise. It was a calm voice. It didn't sound strong at all. But the result was tremendous. An enormous amount of power poured out uncontrollably from his entire body. An invisible current of power overflowed like a waterfall, centering on a vast area with a radius of several hundred meters. Gravity reversed. The atmosphere vibrated, and the rough air enveloped everything, rising into the air. The huge pieces of stone that had been shattered into pieces and the traces of ruins slowly rested their bodies in the air. In just ten seconds, the magnificent stone tomb disappeared and a huge crater gaped open. At this point the debris began to vibrate. Seton shouted i-it's collapsing. Charlene said no, this energy... ...it's magic. Gravity reversed and the debris slowly drifted into thin air. Giant stone sculptures floated into the air. Charlene shouted it's this, but it's so powerful... ...it could be archmage Gaster. Seton's body rose. Charlene's body also floated into the air. Seton was surprised. Seton thought magic on this scale... ...it could be Aria.

He extended his hand towards Yuna and used healing spell and said heal. Yuna touched her neck. Yuna said she can... speak again. Karsenian said why he would bother to treat these humans, who cared if they're in trouble, he knew a hatchling's dream is worthless. He said but he has no reason to ignore it either, plus, they're not just any humans, they're Arin's friends, now that they've caught him, this is the least they can do so he won't run away again. Karsenian said fine, let's leave it at that, their family issue has been resolved, and all the other dragons have left... ...except for Blondie. Rosarahim was angry. Rosarahim said she'd like to stay here a little longer, she's curious about the Almighty Creature... ...so once her questions were answered, she may stay behind and enjoy herself. He said very well, it's been a while since he has enjoyed living as a human, perhaps he should indulge in another dream, once he return to his original form, he can't be bothered to do anything... Seton saw him. Seton clenched his teeth and left the room.

The next morning, with everyone gathered together, Charlene opened her mouth. Charlene said to him that what she knew is only a fragment of the truth, detailed records were kept inside the Tower of Razel, but with the tower collaped... ...he'll have to go to the capital to find identical records. He replied then they'll go to the capital. Charlene thought he made it sound like the long distance is no big deal. He spoke to Charlene in a calm tone that but first, they'll have breakfast, she should go ahead and tell them what she knew while the meal is being prepared. After coughing, Charlene said yes, here is what she knew... Charlene began to explain seriously that ...the forbidden sorcery used to create a dragon... ...that is, the The unbreakable Vessel of the Soul... is not generally known among humans. He struck Charlene before she could even finish her explanation, ruining the mood she had worked so hard to create that far from it, in fact, it's not even accurate, the forbidden sorcery is used to create the Almighty Creature, not a dragon, she should continue. Charlene thought he did just say something incredibly important in passing. Charlene said s-she saw. Charlene said the first person who discovered the forbidden sorcery... ...was a former Queen of Sorcery. Charlene said the Tower of Razel was set up as the magical headquarters of the Gaianes Empire 300 years ago, it was an effort to organize the fragments of magical knowledge and ancient heritages scattered throughout the continent, as well as to conduct more efficient and systematic research on magic, thanked to the imperial authority, magical heritages around the continent gathered in the tower, it marked the peak of magical prosperity. Kiadrys said no wonder there has been an increasing number of humans who have mastered Seventh and Eighth Circle spells, that explained it. Charlene said however, the amount of information was too vast for them humans to process, new information was pouring in before old ones were organized. Charlene's complexion hardened to the point where it was truly pitiful to look at. Charlene said well, that was the case until yesterday... Karsenian said oh, so that's the place that collapsed as they were trying to catch Arin. He said he felt a bit sorry. They thought sorry. The mouths of the surprised audience fell open. Kiadrys shouted how long it has been since a member of the Red Clan has ever said sorry, a few millennia, perhaps. Rosarahim said he's also a member of the Red Clan, King Kiadrys. Kiadrys said the fact that he's shocked made him the Red Dragon King. Seton thought sorry... ...that's all he has to say... ...after committing a massacre. Seton clenched his teeth. He said to Charlene with a serious expression that very well, since their clan has destroyed her city, he'll rebuild it for her. He asked Rosarahim, she's acquainted with any of the dwarves nearby. Rosarahim answered yes, because she has indulged in a dream up until recently... He said great, then let them continue. The humans thought what past of this is great, He's just shifting the work to the dwarves, poor them... Charlene said as she said, a vast amount information was flooding into the tower, the mages soon realized that collecting information wasn't everything, so, they began systematically organizing the information they had, in that process, the former Queen of Sorcery discovered bundles of parchment, written inside the parchment was the forbidden sorcery, that is, the spell to create the Vessel of the Soul, they have no idea how such forbidden sorcery ended up in the tower, it was probably Lahagas el Gaianes, the first Dragon Slayer... who took down Clyton the Yellow Dragon-- Before Charlene could say anything, she felt like she was going to die. Charlene thought o-oops, she shouldn't have mentioned a Dragon Slayer in front of the dragons. Someone asked Clyton, who's that, he does knew, Lord. He answered Clyton was a member of the Gold Clan and was about a thousand years younger than him. Pete said yeah, they don't mind. Kiadrys said he also heard that the human who killed Clyton became the emperor. Charlene said i-in any case, the former Queen of Sorcery began studying that forbidden sorcery, she speculated that The Vessel of the Soul might be an incomplete spell, given that the outcome was so different from the nature of dragons, she then tried to transform herself into The Vessel of the Soul... and failed, after all, a true Vessel of the Soul is not built from a human body... ...a human soul was much too weak to contain the Vessel of the Soul, only creatures with massive divine bodies transcending humanity could bear the Vessel of the Soul, one such example is dragons, this was probably the reason she assumed that the forbidden sorcery was used to creat a dragon, the result of fusing all kinds of creatures... to enhance the human soul and mold it into the vessel... ...is Aria, however, as the divine body grew stronger, the existing soul will lose its place... ...eventually, she'll lose her identity, left with only an instinct to destroy. Karsenian said knowing all that, humans still believed that the forbidden sorcery was used to create dragons, they don't have an instinct to destroy. Pete thought what. Karsenian said she didn't destroy that because she wanted to, it would've been intact had Arin not run away. He said in fact, the dragons have a strong instinct for treasuring what they have. Charlene said oh, she saw... ...the former Queen could not enhance her soul, after all, what was the point of successfully creating a Vessel of the Soul if she lost her identity in the process, she could have created a new body tailored to the human soul intact, but unless it was her body, her identity would have been destroyed regardless... ...it is impossible for a human to contain the Vessel of the Soul, that was the conclusion she reached, in the end, she gave up on the Vessel of the Soul and died as a human, she doesn't know the details of how she returned to being a human, but there is something she heard, of the four jewels that were used to seal the Almighty Creature, the two seals remaining in the empire... ...were used to return her to her human form, she has told him everything she knew. He said the last part was the only thing he was really curious about. Kiadrys said still, it isn't fun, it's fascinating to see how things appear from a human's perspective. Yuna said if what Charlene said is true... Yuna asked ...why Aria is still okay, according to Charlene's explanation, her body should have broken down long ago. Charlene answered previously, she wouldn't have a clue either, but now, she has an inkling... ...and it is... Charlene's index finger moved to Arin and asked ...him, he can take a guess, he was always nearest to Aria, and he turned out to be a dragon, she get the feeling that she could maintain the Vessel of the Soul because she had a dragon's mana by her side. He let out a gloomy voice that wrong, that would be impossible, even for a dragon. Charlene asked pardon. Charlene was surprised.

He was still muttering to himself in a gloomy tone that crap... ...he remembered something unpleasant. Kiadrys thought Elder isn't indulging in a dream right now, that meant his current race and sorrow... ...must represent the clan's, it could be... that Arin is actually... Suddenly, Arin clapped his hands and said oh, he get it, that does mean his blood is helping Aria. Kiadrys asked that's all Arin have been thinking. Arin answered yep, what about it. He chuckled. He said with relief in his voice that right, this is the Arin they know, they can relax for now. He said indeed... Arin said since back when they first met, he has been wondering why Aria, who was on the brink of death, suddenly because all right, it must have been that time when a meteor hit him... and caused his mouth to bleed. The dragons' expressions hardened. The dragons started asking questions at the same time that what Arin did just say... ...a meteor hit him... ...and caused him to bleed.

The dragons ask Arin should tell them what happened in more detail, what he does mean a meteor hit him and caused him to bleed. Arin answered uh... whose meteor was that again, Gaster's was it. He asked Gaster. Kiadrys answered Gaster is one of the humans referred to as the Dragon Slayers who killed Grateus. Arin said yes, it's them, the Dragon Slayers bought him when he was enslaved... ...and threw him off of the third floor, he had to walk through an underground passage covered in blood, then, they blasted holes into his entire body... ...and chased after him relentlessly. Arin was angry and shouted just talking about the Dragon Slayers were making him angry, curse those humans. He said he saw. Extreme anger radiated from his eyes and he said so that's what happened. Even though it wasn't her business, Yuna was gripped by fear at that moment. Yuna fell backwards as a huge stream of mana wrapped around her from all directions, pressing down on her entire body. Seton shouted Yuna. Seton hugged Yuna. He said whoever and wherever the Dragon Slayers were... He stood up and said ...the Dragon Slayers messed with the wrong kid, now they'll pay the price for hurting a hatchling. He was so angry that he opened his mouth in a calm voice that representative of their clan... ...he'll execute their family law, any objections. Charlene thought what intense, dreadful mana, but the dragons didn't even flinch when she mentioned another dragon that died... Kiadrys said none, it's their clan's duty. He asked to Yuna that human, which country the Dragon Slayers were from. Yuna was unable to respond as an enormous storm of mana poured out from his entire body, which she could not resist, leaving her unable to move. He urged Yuna on that why she wasn't answering him, she does not know. Someone answered Karsel Kingdom. He and Kiadrys turned their gaze to someone who spoke. Karsenian, who's face as hard as his, said it's a kingdom of humans located south of Arin's lair. He said she seemed to know about that place, Karsenian, they were fragments of her previous dream, if she has a lingering attachment there due to the dream, then he'll act alone. Karsenian answered firmly that no, she has no lingering attachment whatsoever. He said great. Soon a red light began to appear. Within moments, a huge Warp Gate with a diameter of 9.8 ft (3 meters) appeared before the people's eyes. Suddenly he looked back and said humans, he advised them to revise their map, the Karsel Kingdom will no longer exist.

Capital city of the Karsel Kingdom Serkarsel. A guard saw something flying slowly across the sky and asked what is that, a bird. He and Karsenian were floating in the air. The guard said no... ...they look like people. Another guard said magicians, perhaps, they don't know that flying above the castle is forbidden. The guard said he'll report this to the higher-ups. Then suddenly their eyes were filled with a red light and they disappeared. The massive explosion blew away the eastern gate of Serkarsel, as well as the nearby walls. A huge heat storm of terrifyingly high heat spread in all directions and shook the entire castle. The guard opened the door and shouted his... his majesty, there's been a disaster, please he should look outside the window. Latisse said outside the window... Latisse walked to the window, looked out, and his previously calm expression turned pale. Latisse thought the east wall has been destroyed. Someone shouted only one mage on the entire continent... is capable of such powerful magic, he's saying that Gaster betreayed them. Someone shouted that's ridiculous... and Latisse raised his head and looked at the sky. Latisse saw he and Karsenian flying towards where they were. The ministers shouted what the heck is that. The castle was in great shock and ministers shouted aaagh. The guards shouted his... his majesty. Latisse stared blankly, his crown removed. Karsenian said the interior has changed quite a bit, there wasn't a barrier back when she was in the castle. He said it's made from the remnants of Grateus, how pitiful, such a flimsy defense will not work on them. Latisse shed tears. Latisse said she's back... ...Sernian. The guards rushed and shouted to him that he's the one... responsible for the explosion, they should protect his majesty, everyone, charge. He said explode. The air was compressed and spread out in an instant, causing the castle to crumble into nothingness, and soon an invisible shock wave struck the guards as well. Latisse opened his mouth calmly that it's just as he feared... ...her eternal youth and beauty... always worried him, his fears were not unfounded, Sernian... Latisse shouted ...Sernian left him for another man, and now he has returned with a child who looked just like her. Karsenian said what... Ione came and said pull himself together, father, mother disappeared seven years ago, considering that boy's age, it doesn't add up. Ione said mother... ...who she's, really... Latisse said Ione... Karsenian was furious and had a murderous aura about her and shouted Latisse do still not understand what's happening, then she shall enlighten him, vestiges of her dream. Within a moment, Ione and Latisse were engulfed in light and trapped in a sphere of light. Ione thought vestiges of her dream, she has heard that before it's dragonspeak referring to the remnants of their Entertainment, her mother could be... ...a dragon. Karsenian's clear voice rang out that come, Ignis.

Latisse's legs gave out and he fell down and said his Sernian... is a dragon... He asked they're all they need. He said blast. The ceiling blew open with a loud noise. Karsenian, Latisse and Ione, trapped in the sphere of light, he rose into the air and began to fly to the other side of the hole. The guards shouted his majesty, her highness. Through the pale curtain of light, the scenery of Serkarsel is visible. Ione shouted kyaaa. Above the light globe, there is a sky as black as night, and beneath it, there is a land as bright as day. Ione thought when she was little, Gaster told her... ...about a pitch-black space that exists above the sky, a place in which nothing, save for pure mana, exists, the realm of death, beyond the edge of the world. He said to Latisse that human, pay close attention to what is about to happen... ...burn it into his memory... ...and relay it to his kind. Latisse looked at the light with his teeth clenched. He came back as a dragon and said to Latisse that let them know the enormous price he had to pay for harming a hatchling. He took a slow breath and a river of red air swirled and slowly gathered at his mouth. He muttered softly that watch closely, this is the power... ...of the ancient dragon. A blood-red glow traced a line across a distant continent, and clouds evaporated from the heat, creating a blue void in the sky. A ruby-colored pillar of fire blasted out.

He said the thermal energy from his dragon breath will form a magma zone, and the heat will turn into pressure, causing the groundwater to boil, the extreme heat will instantaneously evaporate the groundwater, the accumulated magma... ...the evaporation of the groundwater... ...and everything else combined will explode... ...resulting in a deadly eruption. Kiadrys was hovering in the sky and thought oh, dear, he's late, he's already gone and done it. Kiadrys said the magnitude of this destructive power is staggering, to think an entire nation has been laid to waste. Kiadrys thought no, he would not have stopped at just one nation, the other dragons must have prevented the damage from affecting the surrounding areas. Archiad shouted goodness, he's sick and tired of the Red Clan acting so recklessly. Helmernod shouted the Red Clan have gone and done it knowing they'll clean up after them. Kiadrys thought he can already hear the dragons complaining... ...but what he can do, he's the Red Dragon King. Kiadrys saw the sea water coming in. Kiadrys thought so this is the power of the Ancient Dragon, the ocean is flooding in... to fill the space that has been crushed... He said hmph... ...let's start heading back, Karsenian, the kids must be waiting. Karsenian asked he's not going to teleport in that state, he's... He said oh, right. The sphere began to move away. Someone said King of the humans, he should relay what he has witnessed to his kind. Karsenian looked down at Latisse with contempt and said this is the price of hurting a dragon's child.

Unlike when Karsenian and he left, they both returned with relieved expressions. Rosarahim asked oh, Karsenian is back, how it did go. Karsenian responded as if she was in a good mood that they finished their duty, it should be enough. After a while, Kiadrys appeared through the portal. Kiadrys' face that looked terribly tired and he said they're back... Rosarahim thought they must have run amok. Kiadrys sat down as if he was throwing himself into a chair. He asked they've set an example, now, they shall continue where they left off... There was no answer from humans because they had collapsed and he asked huh... ...they're all asleep. Rosarahim said she thought the humans passed out, he still have the residue of Dragon Command all over him, Elder. He thought why Rosarahim do make Dragon Command sound like he's covered in filth... People woke up later, and Charlene said there's nothing more she can tell him, he can refer to the records for more information... ...however, information on how to transform back into a human... ...is probably only recorded in Shahar, the imperial capital. He thought hmm, that does mean they have to go to the imperial capital, to stop the incident from happening again... ...they must quickly revert that thing into a human. He said all right, they'll set off for the imperial capital now, human, she should open a portal. Charlene said his greatness the ancient dragon... they humans cannot travel such long distances via a portal. He was surprised and said to Charlene that she doesn't even know the coordinates for it. Rosarahim raised herself up and said they'll need a map. Rosarahim grabbed Elyne's collar and said a map. Charlene said to Rosarahim that s-she'll give her one right now. Someone took the map of the empire and pointed to one side with her finger that it's near the Red Mountains. Another said he knew the coordinates there. Kiadrys said calmly that let's just ride whatever they can find nearby. As Karsenian looked at the map, she asked huh. Karsenian looked up with a smile and shouted there's a city of hot springs near the Red Mountains, let's stop by there. He said oh, hot springs, good idea. Humans thought what the dragons say, goes... ...right. Arin said but he wanted to go to the capital first. They flew through the sky on the back of griffins. He said sometimes, it's nice to travel slowly. Karsenian said it's been while since she has been to the hot springs, it's one of the many joys he can experience as a human. Rosarahim said there it's, Aur, the city of hot springs. A large and magnificent building appeared. The hot spring employee asked excuse him for stepping in... ...but this place is reserved for nobles only, if they don't have money, he cannot receive their services. He asked money, anyone does have money. Karsenian answered why he doesn't make money using Dragon Command. He said why not hot springs, too, while Karsenian's at it. Someone said that's easy, a single breath will do... He said oh, right. The hot spring employee's face frowned and thought he knew these shabby fuffians had no money... Rosarahim said she can connect to her lair, and she spread her hand, and a golden curve was drawn in the air along with her touch. A golden magic circle the size of a person was completed about 16.4 ft (5 meters) above Rosarahim's head. The magic circle glowed brightly and all kinds of jewels and mountains of gold began to pour through the portal. He asked this is enough, or they do need more. Someone answered by human standards, this is a lot, although it's nothing compared to what he has, Elder. Another shouted t-they'll treat them like kings.

Another bath, he who's soaking in the hot water, he said aaah, that hit the spot, it's different from lava. Arin swam in a skillful pose, his hair gathered to one side and twisted into a bun. Pete shouted Arin, he shouldn't be swimming here. Arin suddenly changed his position and tried to swim backstroke. Pete shouted Arin shouldn't backstroke either. He asked hmm. He asked who's that, why there's somebody else here. Outside the bathroom, on one side, stood a muscular man holding a rough cloth. Someone answered oh, they're known as professional scrubbers, he has never heard of them before until now, but it appeared to be a job exclusive to this bathhouse. His curiosity was piqued and said oh, only in this bathhouse, how interesting. He stood up and said let's give it a try, Kiadrys. Kiadrys answered very well. He entered the wooden house. After a while, a loud noise was heard. He screamed aaagh. Pete thought he did just hear the Red Dragons, the most powerful creatures on earth, scream... ...scrubbing must be torture. He washing his hair and said he should stop being so dramatic, it wasn't that painful, once he tough it out, it's quite refreshing... Kiadrys' skin was red and swollen and he looked frowning and said it doesn't change the fact that it's painful. He said haha. He bowed his frothy head in the direction Seton was facing and he said he should pour some water on him, human. Seton thought something. Seton was watching intently, then he quickly picked up a ladle and poured water on him. After he had finished washing his body, he suddenly spoke in a suddenly serious, quite commanding voice to Seton that humans, they had been looking after Arin all this time. It was an unexpected situation, but Seton had become quite perceptive over the years. Seton said uh, yes... Seton thought it's hard to take he seriously when he looked like a kid. He stood up and speak to Seton solemnly that their species is known to repay kindness, there's something their desire, if so, they should tell him, he'll grant it, what's their wish. Pete knelt down. Pete said to him that his greatness... ...learning about the lost ancient wisdom is enough for him, but if he still insist on being generous, then he'd like to ask for some treasure, his goal is to help the poor and hungry start their lives anew. He chuckling and said to Pete that clearly, he has thought of what to say in advance. He said to Pete that he already enlightened him, and now he want money too. Pete felt a sting. Someone said to him that he should f-forgive him... He said to Pete with a soft smile that he should relax, it's cute how humans rack their brains. This time he looked at Seton and asked and him, he does have a wish. Seton answered his wish cannot be granted by someone else... ...because he wish to reach the heights of a Sword Master, not even an almighty dragon can make this a reality, right. Indeed, him too had an awkward expression. He thought for a moment and then said hmm, it's indeed a bit tricky, granting magic would be easier in comparison. It was then that Arin, who had not been very interested in the story, suddenly joined in and asked him, he does know how to use Sword Aura. He looked bewildered at his question. He answered he's not sure about humans, but it's a piece of cake for them dragons, Arin can feel the flow of mana, right, he just gather that to his hand, then, imagine drawing a long stick... Arin looked at the sword of brilliant light that had been formed and shouted whoa, he did it, huh, it was so simple. Seton frowned as he watched from the side. Arin swung his sword of light around as if he was having fun. Seton was shaking and he said to him that there's no need to feel disappointed, human, it's not because he lack talent. He said to Seton that dragons were an inherently magical species, a human being jealous of a dragon using mana... ...is no different from him looking at the bird and wondering why he can't fly. Arin's eyes lit up as if he suddenly realized something and shouted oh, that does mean he's a Sword Master now. He said no, that's not how it worked. Arin was disappointed and said aww. He slowly explained to Arin the reason that he now have an exceptional weapon, but that's the extent of it, normally, humans start by mastering the sword, by feeling the blade, the flow... ...and finally, the world, they come to wield mana, which made up the world, they dragons go in reverse order since they can use mana from the start. He said to Seton that anyway, back to where he left off, mana can't be given away like gifts... ...plus, even if he helped, it may lead him astray from the path he's seeking. however... He smiled faintly and raised his hand towards the disappointed Seton and said ...he can do this much for him. He said enhance. The tips of his fingers glowed, creating strange curves of light in the air, and the trajectory of light flowed through Seton's entire body. He said he has maximized his physical capabilities, he may not notice a big difference, but it's better than nothing. His expression suddenly turned playful and he said now... He shouted ...it's their turn to get scrubbed. Pete's expression was horrified. Seton thought he quite liked it, huh...

He asked that's the Imperial Palace. Karsenian agreed, saying: there has been a war, the way here was fine, but the Palace looked like a mess. Someone shouted they should freeze. The guards came running and shouted who they were, how dare they set foot here while the Palace is in disarray, they do have a death wish. Charlene cleared her throat and said ahem, the guards were mistaken, they're not intruders... He said sink. With a loud bang, the granite floor where the guards had been standing caved in, creating a wide, deep pit that quickly spread out and swallowed them up at a whack. Charlene looked into the pit in bewilderment at the guards' screams that seemed to come from the abyss. Charlene thought she didn't even get a word in... Charlene said Lord, next time, she'll talk to the humans... He said huh, sure, Charlene should go ahead. A guard blocked the group's path and shouted wh-who goes there. For a moment, Charlene was taken aback. Charlene said just one word that she's-- He was impatient and didn't even wait for that and he said distort. The guard shouted argh. The space shook for a moment, the vision became distorted, and at the same time, a huge shock wave swept through the area. Charlene thought Lord was destroying the Palace even further... He said oh, Charlene said she'll take care of it, right, then she should lead the way. Karsenian asked they were here to meet the king, at this rate, it's hard to say if he's still alive. He answered Karsenian don't worry, the king is still alive... ...since she hasn't woken up yet. Seton thought ...who's he talking about. He asked anyway, why the Imperial Palace is so complex, Charlene sure they're going the right way. Charlene answered the Imperial Palace is complex to begin with, furthermore, it's partially destroyed... Charlene thought actually, she doesn't know the layout of the Imperial Palace... Karsenian lost her temper and asked what a bother, why she doesn't just blast their way through. Charlene became thoughtful and tried to dissuade that th-this way, please Ms. Karsenian follow her. A guard saw him. The guard shouted who there went. He said distort-- Charlene shouted she's Charlene Apacain Deresteina Carkileid, the Southern Empire's Queen of Sorcery, she's here to see his majesty, the guard could take her to him. The guard said the Southern Empire... th-this way, please. Charlene learned that she could not afford to hesitate... in the company of an impatient Red Dragon. Someone said they have arrived, past this door, they'll find... his majesty emperor Rohinas Crel Gaianes of the Gaianes Empire. In front of this splendid visit, Charlene opened her mouth in a calm voice that Lord, she beseech him to please hold back his powers here... He said what a strange thing to say, he does not destroy anything without reason. A small piece of stone fell to the floor from a hole in the ceiling. The man turned his head and asked Charlene. Charlene greeted the man politely and said greetings, his majesty emperor Rohinas... ...the supreme ruler who stands above all. Charlene was nervous and answered oh, the peoeple were... The way Rohinas looked at people suddenly changed. Someone said no, Charlene do not need to explain. And surprisingly, Rohinas bowed his head respectfully to him and opened his mouth with a politeness that one would never expect from someone who sat in the position of Emperor of the Empire that as the king of lowly beings, he welcome him from the noble race, he's Rohinas Crel Gaianes. People's eyes widened. He said amazing, to think a human has the power to see through the essence of existence. Rohinas said he owe it to knowledge, he has been told in advance. He asked he saw, it was she who told him, he's the only one who knew. Rohinas answered yes, he's the only one. He asked very well, Rohinas should go on and explain, why this did happen when she's in the Imperial Palace. Rohinas answered because... she's dreaming.

He said with a sigh that it's not surprising, there's no real reason to be concerned about it. He asked but what he find hard to understand is this, what the Dragon Slayers do plan to achieve by collecting the seals of the Almighty Creature, revenge, maybe, they brought it on themselves, but it's not unusual that they would dream of revenge. Rohinas asked as if he couldn't understand him that pardon him for saying this, but he's having trouble understanding both of his stances, why he's so laid-back, it seemed to be quite a dangerous situation to him... they know where the sealed creature is located, and they even managed to collect all the seals, they might actually resurrect the Almighty Creature, the enemy of dragons. He rather clicked his tongue and said tsk, tsk... ... the Dragon Slayers have no idea what the Almighty Creature is, or they do know but were too blinded by revenge. Karsenian puzzled and asked so what exactly is this Almighty Creature, it wasn't a failed experiment of the gods. He asked Karsenian don't know what it's. Karsenian opened her mouth in a sharp tone that she thought she did, but now she's not so sure, from what she heard, about six millennia ago, it almost wiped out the entire dragon race, but it was successfully sealed, she didn't hear about what happened during that time or what the Almighty Creature was like, for some strange reason, everyone refused to talk about it. He answered weakly with a darkened expression that ...it's hardly surprising. Rosarahim asked cautiously that the fact that they successfully sealed the Almighty Creature once... meant they know how to do it again, so why he's so afraid of the Almighty Creature, Elder. He asked he does seemed afraid. Rosarahim answered at the moment... yes. Someone continued speaking earnestly that when the humans got their hands on the seals, Elder didn't seem fazed at all, but whenever he recall old memories, he look greatly disturbed. He said he was just reflecting on the past, it's impossible for the Dragon Slayers to resurrect the Almighty Creature. Since he was so resolute that no one could bring up this story any longer. Then, all of a sudden, Kiadrys opened his mouth in a bewildered voice, as if he had just remembered something that by the way, Rohinas mentioned the Dragon Slayers know where the Almighty Creature is sealed, they still took the seals regardless. Arin snuck in from the side and asked what if the Dragon Slayers sneak in while he's away, Elder. Karsenian asked how would the Dragon Slayers know Elder is away right now. A smile appeared on his face for a moment, as if to say that it couldn't be true that well, it doesn't matter either way, even if the Dragon Slayers make it to his lair by sheer luck, they will never reach the sealed creature, so they can take their time finishing up their business. Arin asked business, what business. He asked Arin asked him to turn that kid into a human, remember, he did forget already. In the Lartead Mountains, the Dragon Slayers set up a defensive barrier and moved cautiously. Pluto said the scenery changed completely all of a sudden, so this is his territory... Darios said here rested... ...the power to annihilate all dragons... Suddenly Vera asked with concern that Gaster is sure he's away, if he's wrong, then it's all over for them. Gaster said Vera don't worry, his source is reliable, dragons leave their lair more often than she might think, that's why they appoint a Guardian endowed with their power to protect the lair, and the guardian protecting his lair is... ...his Master, Terold Croword. Pluto was surprised and shouted his ancestor. Pluto was surprised and shouted his ancestor is his guardian, no wonder he called him his Lord... Gaster said about 200 years ago, Terold Croword was a wandering lich when he caught his attention, well, he was talented, though not as much as him. Someone said there it's, Karstein's lair.

Someone asked he did freeze this place right next to the scorching hot lake on purpose, but why, it's such a waste. Another said dragons were such mysterious creatures. Darios said he doesn't even want to know what goes inside the dragons' brains, let's keep going. Gaster said Pluto doesn't lower his guard, he should stay alert, his lair is bound to have more in store for them. Once again the penguin's message resounded majestically that he's a creature forged by the supreme power of the great ancient dragon, Lord... ...Perileus the seal keeper.

Aria patted Arin while giving him a lap pillow. He looked at Arin and Aria and his expression wasn't as peaceful as hers. He secretly sent Kiadrys a Magic Message which is a type of spell that transmits a message that cannot be heard by others that Arin and Aria have grown too close, he'll agree. His voice ringing in Kiadrys head and he nodded his agreement without letting on that if his fears are correct, this is not good. He gave a message that they can safely confirm their suspicions are true, all the signs are there. Kiadrys' brow furrowed slightly at his assertion and gave a message that first, they must persuade Arin, the laws prevent them from doing as they please, even if he's a hatchling. He gave a message that Arin will understand why he must erase his current dream... ...when he's having so much fun. Kiadrys gave a message that if Arin can't, then they must resort to force, to him, this moment is but a small fragment in his life, later, he won't even remember that any of this happened to him... ...though a few remnants may remain in his subconscious... He frowned slightly and gave a message that hmm, he wanted to avoid it at all costs, but they're left with no choice... ...well, they've nothing to do now, right, shall they take a nap. Charlene looked around the room in bewilderment and thought why all the dragons were asleep. Charlene approached the bed hesitantly and said sh-she should wake the dragons up, excuse her... Charlene thought if she wake the dragons up... A dragon shouted how dare she rouse it from its slumber. Charlene thought ...but if she doesn't wake the dragons up... A dragon shouted how dare she waste its time. Charlene thought ...either way, she's doomed. Arin shouted Charlene did find a way to turn Aria back into a human. He rubbed his eyes. Suddenly Arin took on a serious expression and his voice was fierce that what Charlene does meant, Aria can't live as a human. He glanced at Arin. Charlene continued that for a Vessel of the Soul, most of the physical body morphed into a different entity, the previous Queen of Sorcery knew next to nothing about the Almighty Creature in the first place, instead, she focused on studying imperial authority. He puzzled and asked imperial authority. Charlene said quietly that the previous Queen of Sorcery was referring to the jewels used to seal the Almighty Creature, that's Gaias and Zaedrasil. Charlene answered she can't be sure... ...but based on various experiments, the mana within a seal... Charlene continued that ...is comparable to dozens of dragons. He opened his mouth in a voice that seemed somehow sarcastic that Charlene doesn't mind him, what she said is true, so she doesn't hold back and go on. Charlene started by explaining that "inanimate substances can neither gain nor lose more than a set amount of mana," that's one of the absolute laws of magic, naturally, the previous Queen of Sorcery had no idea how this was possible... Kiadrys was surprised. Suddenly Kiadrys said he saw, so the ture nature of the seals were that individual's... At that moment, He let out a shrill, tearing a loud voice that Kiadrys. His voice was one of accusation, not anger, but it was enough to instill fear in all the humans here and there was silence for a moment. After a while, he broke the silence and opened his mouth in a cold voice that human... she's missing one important point, inanimate substances that can store and releast mana for use... already exist in reality. He continued that he's talking about the core of a dragon's mana... ...the Dragon Heart.

After a while, he broke the silence and opened his mouth in a cold voice that ...all right, human should continue. He said he saw, the former Queen was exploting the nature of Manadium. Charlene asked Manadium. He answered Manadium is the official name of the element making up the seals. He said the former Queen was a human to start with, the sealing of her abilities would have bound her physical form to its predominant trait, which is human. Someone said oh, that's it, it wasn't anything special. Another said for a second, he was shocked that humans had advanced so much. Arin became dazed and he shouted to him that so, that does mean Aria can become human. He said Aria cannot become a human, but that will not impede her from living her life, it's no different from living as a human, really. Someone shouted really. He and Kiadrys realized their mistake and kept their mouths shut. He said so, they'll have to go hunt down those bastards after all, they need the seals of the Almighty Creature, but those foolish humans took them all... He said angrily that ...the Dragon Slayers dared to mess with a hatchling, he was planning to go after them anyway. Pete was afraid, and Seton swallowed. He looked at everyone and asked that first, let's head over to his lair, they'll come as well. And he looked back at the humans and said as a reward for looking after Arin... ...he'll give them a gift, they may pick a treasure from his lair. In that moment, Pete and Yuna's eyes lit up and they thought treature. Surprisingly, Seton made a displeased expression. He waved his hand in the air and said well, then, let's go. He simply waved his hand, and yet a portal formed in an instant. On one side of the cave, a distortion of space occurred in a corner, and soon it transformed into a sphere, slowly growing larger as it took over space, and soon, a group of people slowly emerged from that space. Yuna took a sharp breath. Someone thought so this is the lair of a 6,500 year-old... ...ancient Red Dragon. All around was a place of glitter, a garden of gold, a forest of jewels, and a treasure trove of legendary weapons hanging like fruit. Yuna just opened her mouth wide. He asked the place was too big for humans to navigate. He said with a smile, as if he found it amusing that well, they should choose whatever they'd like, human children. Yuna started running towards the treasure and shouted impressive, what she should take, a magical item, or a jewel. Pete looked around and thought definitely an expensive jewel. He who's standing next to Seton, he replied indisposed that oh, he forgot he had that, there was this one human who ran wild 300 years ago, so he took his sword and tossed it aside. Seton was terrified and thought he did just treat it like junk, and Charlene was awkwarded too. He asked so human will choose that as his reward. Someone said he'll keep looking... Everyone was excited and at the same time looking around intently, intently trying to select the treasure, but suddenly he looked around the cave carefully. Rosarahim asked what's wrong, Elder. His brow furrowed deeply and answered how annoying, someone... is blocking his perception.

The lair of the ancient dragon, located beneath the crater of a gigantic volcano. At that moment, his voice was heard and he asked what he's doing, Terold. Terold was startled. He was floating in the air. Terold shouted him. Karstein asked Terold should answered him, he asked him a question. Terold asked back with a mixture of fake politeness and blatant sarcasm that ah, his Master, why he doesn't take a guess. His expression became distorted. Suddenly, all the mana currents under Terold's control broke free of his control and began to swirl, causing the mana around him to flow back and attack him. Terold shouted guh, and a dark red liquid burst out from between his dry lips, but it wasn't blood, because he was already dead, so he just poured out the remaining fluid. He frowned and asked how dare Terold scorn him, hmm, a spell to mask the intruders, he was working with the humans who took the seals. Terold smiled and said he accepted him as his guardian because of his decent ability... Terold opened his eyes fiercely and glared at him and shouted so he knew, he cursed race, it's already been 12 hours since his descendant and his party entered his lair, that doesn't make him nervous, skilled as they're, they should have found the sealed creature by now. Someone shouted he arrogant, pathetic race... the only authentic life he lead is dozing off in his den, he can entertain himself with fake lives, but those lives will never be his, he foolish race. Terold shouted soon, the ancient demonic creature will revive, his kind, who has ridiculed humans for thousands of years, will soon cease to exist. Terold laughed hahahaha... Terold's body began to crumble, one by one. At the same time, Terold disappeared, a cloud of grey dust spreading out from beneath his fluttering black robes. He said he used up all of his mana to veil his perception, truly a meaningless death, Terold. A group of his party rushed and he said coldly that nervous, huh, they really were clueless, they'll never be able to awaken the Almighty Creature. Rosarahim's complexion hardened slightly and she asked the humans have gotten further than she expected, what if they find the sealed creature... He opened his mouth, grumbling as if it was fun that Rosarahim should relax, the humans were not qualified, she saw. Looking toward the lava lake, he continued but since they're here... ...they shall go see the sealed creature. Rosarahim wielded her tongue and said she's quite impressed... that the humans crossed the lava lake without magic. He had a calm demeanor and said hmph, so what. Seton thought incredible... ...a single command... ...was enough to freeze the vast lava lake. The boiling lava lake freezed rapidly, and the red color in one corner of the lake faded to dark gray, and in an instant, the lake became a wide plain. He said after this should be the Frozen Passage, it might be a bit challenging for humans to endure, what a pain, he should just deactivate it. Karsenian suddenly looked across the aisle and asked in annoyance that why they don't just teleport there, then. He replied this is where the Almighty Creature is sealed, if they teleport recklessly, the coordinates might get thrown off. He quietly raised his hand and snapped his fingers and said he'll remove the Space Distortion, the actual passage isn't that long anyway.

About half an hour after he and his party disappeared, Rake and Seria appeared at the cave entrance. Rake swallowed. Someone asked this was really it, the ancient dragon's lair. Seria said she can't believe how easy it was to get in the cave, this was supossed to be the ancient dragon's lair. Rake shouted there's got to be more, so Seria should keep her guard up, who knew what's out there. Rake slowly walked into the cave and was surprised by what he saw. Someone said what's with that rock formation, it looked like frozen waves of water... Another said ...it's vast, but there's nothing in the cave. Seria looked through the cave and said and... ...this long passage was empty too. Rake looked around cautiously. Seria saw Rake and he shouted why it's so easy to trespass into an ancient dragon's lair.

As Darios weakly lowered his head, he felt a presence, accompanied by a rather familiar voice. Someone asked huh, oh dear, the seal was broken already. He answered yeah, the seal was broken. Someone asked that does mean they're in big trouble. He answered not at all, he told her those bastards will never succeed in getting what they want. He looked at Darios and his party with an expression that said he knew this would happen and said the Dragon Slayers were simply not qualified. Gaster was embarrassed and thought Red Dragons.

A voice echoed that explode and then the surroundings exploded. Darios opened his eyes wide, blood poured out between his slightly parted lips, and he let out a soft groan that guh... Vera and Pluto threw themselves in terror and he shouted Darios. He threw out a word lightly that the rest of the Dragon Slayers, exploded too. Some great force exploded within Pluto and Vera. Absolute power fell upon Gaster without him being able to put up any resistance. With tears of blood streaming down the corners of Gaster's eyes, and with his insides shattered in agony, he looked at him and thought ha... ...this was it, even though the Dragon Slayers consider themselves to be the strongest among the humans... ...a single word was all it took for them to fall apart, this was the difference between dragons and humans. He looked back, clicked his tongue, and asked Karsenian that she's all right, fighting halfheartedly in human form almost got her killed, that guy has surpassed the limits of human capability. Suddenly, he saw something. At that moment, Darios, who had been lying sprawled out like a corpse, slowly got up from his seat. He saw Darios and muttered as if he was surprised that he just keep getting more and more interesting, he's surprised him was able to get up after taking that blow... ...even though his insides shouldn't been destroyed. Darios tried to straighten his trembling body and Karsenian said this was perfect, actually. Someone said how dare a human make a fool of her and sure enough, and a green light filled Darios' eyes. Karsenian returned to her original dragon form and said to Darios that he should prepare himself.

He saw something. Darios clenched his two fists tightly and created a silvery curtain around his body. The next moment, a river of flames enveloped the curtain of light. A tremendous roar echoed through the empty space where Karsenian and Eldicreature were. Karsenian returned to her human form again, and he spoke to her incredulously that ...hey. He said Darios actually blocked her Dragon Breath. He muttered as if it was absurd that he's starting to feel impressed, although... ...it came at the cost of everything Darios had. Darios shed a brilliant light in front of the Dragon Slayers. Someone asked Ancient Dragon, he doubt the Elder will keep his promise of sparing the Dragon Slayers, he could at least answer his question before they died. Gaster opened his mouth in a surprisingly calm voice that there's one thing he's dying to know, just why they weren't qualified. A deep sneer appeared on his lips and he chuckled and said Gaster's friend died and he's in danger, that's really all he has to say, fine, he'll tell him, becoming the soul of the Almighty Creature required only one thing, he must be a pure human untarnished by the flow of mana. Gaster's expression was distorted and thought goddammit... ...that's it. Gaster thought a pure human... in other words, an ordinary person who cannot wield mana, humans who use mana cannot become the soul of the Almighty Creature, however, it would be impossible for a human who cannot use mana to get here, this explained why they were so calm even with it right in front of them. A laugh escaped his mouth and he said that did answer his question... ...human mage, now then... Just then, he suddenly heard someone's voice saying whoa, what's that. His eyes widened. Rake and Seria appeared from a small cave on the other side of the common. He thought huh... Rake shouted this place was huge, where they're. He thought ...why there's a human here.

He thought in the first place... ..it's impossible for someone who cannot use mana to enter this space, those who were powerful enough to navigate through the dangerous obstacles to reach here... ...whould never being along an ordinary person who would only weigh them down, nor would they hand over vast power to them, dragons and mana were inseparably connected, mages and priests use mana, the chimera's existence hinges on mana, even the young man who seemed to be the farthest from mana... ...just began learning how to wield it, simply put, no one here met the requirement to revive the Almighty Creature, that was why... he had lowered his guard, who would have thought that a pure human... ...whose presence was so weak and undetectable would show up his lair. Arin's eyes widened as he looked at Rake and shouted huh, it's him, what he's doing here. At that moment, a lightning bolt of light poured out somewhere. A lightning bolt of light poured down on Rake and Seria. He screamed in horror and shouted oh, no... and he thought the ritual hasn't stopped yet. Once again a magnificent voice flowed out and filled the space and he said to Seria that she's not qualified. But the light of the thunderbolt did not leave Rake and the voice said ...qualified he's. His expression twisted into a sinister grimace, and at the same time a rough voice, unbelievable for a boy, burst out that be gone. A red flash struck down with a loud noise. The ground shook. He thought crap, too late. Rake and Seria began to fall down. The egg of the earth containing a gigantic being has hatched. The Ezekie Sh'Karstein split apart. Meanwhile, he and his group also ran away to escape the collapsing space. He escaped the cave and arrived at a frozen lava lake, but here too, boulders rained down and Someone shouted the lair was collapsing. He let out a tantrum that damn those cursed gods... ...if they had to go and make one, at least make it properly. He shouted first, let's get out of here, this place was no longer safe. He looked up at the sky with a vain expression and babbled that he never thought he'd saw that thing again... ...Eldicreature, the Almighty Being. Rosarahim thought humans might find it incredible, but that was just an ordinary dragon breath, it doesn't seem that menacing... ...so why Elder does look so tense. Then, from his mouth came a voice that others could not understand that it's been a while... ...Grastein of the White Clan.

A Blizzard Breath burst out from Grastein's mouth. The silver river plunged into the ground. The Blizzard Breath was directed at him. He who was beside Kiadrys blocked a single silver flash. Kiadrys asked what's now him. He answered evacuate the others first, they'll deal with it after. His gaze turned fierce and said what they're up against was a predator that engulfed everything in its path... ...so they should brace themselves. Karsenian said him... he seemed well-informed. He said he has seen it before, that's why. He said although... the last time he saw it was 6,000 years ago. Pete pointed somewhere with his hand in surprise and shouted l-look. Pete shouted over there, it's headed this way. Karsenian said that monster existed to obliterate all dragons. Kiadrys was standing. He muttered and it looked like... ...its first target was them. He said that leaved them with no choice. As he watched Arin, a soft voice flowed from his mouth that protect the hatchling that's the top priority of all clans. Arin was startled and asked huh. He said all right, let's go. For a moment, a green light spread out in all directions. Karsenian, Kiadrys and his dragon form appeared. A storm blew in and the others shouted eek. The demonic dragon of Sarbazan... ...the king of the Red Clan... ...And the most powerful ancient dragon of earth... ...have shown themselves. He flapped his large wings vigorously and shouted they should go tell the leader of their kind, she should warn them of the revival of the evil creature. A floating object a mile long that filled the skies above the Lartead Mountains, this gigantic entity made even the Red Clan's largest dragon, he, who was over 1150 ft (350 meters) tall, look small in front of it. He said he never thought he'd see that again in his lifetime. Kiadrys said it's his first time seeing it in the flesh, he has only ever heard about it in stories... He responded indifferently that the reason was obvious, Kiadrys, the monster was sealed before he was born. He muttered softly that Kiadrys was the first egg he laid when he became an adult dragon. Karsenian gave a scolding that nuh-uh, Kerenosaus laid the egg, and he shouted she should shut her mouth. Karsenian suddenly asked anyway... ...he can tell them anything more about that creature. He answered back then, he was still a hatchling, so he only know the stories he heard, after all, hatchlings cannot join battles since they must be protected. He said but he still remember that day like it was yestdrday, of around 300 dragons at the time... ...less than 20 survived. Kiadrys was embarrassed and asked but how, that thing just looked like a lump of flesh, what kind of ability it does have. Suddenly, an unexpected voice came out of his mouth that Eldicreature's ability is consumption. He approached Eldicreature slowly and said its ability was to consume everything in its way. He explained that not only included living creatures but also magic power, divine power, and elemental power, Eldicreature consumed all other energies too, the devoured energy was absorbed into the creature's body... ...becoming its own power. His voice continued that the creature has the ability to consume everything and reproduce whatever it ate, that's why the gods named it Eldicreature, meaning the highest form of creation. Kiadrys shouted how that's possible... He said be careful, within that monster... ...dwelled quite a lot of elders he used to know.

The dragons approached the Eldicreature. He continued to lower his altitude, looked down, and muttered absentmindedly that strange, they've come so close, so why it wasn't it reacting to their presence. His mouth opened slightly, and at the same time, mana began to gather around him and he said let's... ...test this out. Finally, His breath burst out. The pure red flames poured down like a waterfall, targeting the Eldicreature. All the flames were absorbed into the Eldicreature's body as if a hole had been created. Karsenian cried out in horror that it blocked Elder's breath like it was nothing. He clicked his tongue as he circled the air. and said hmph, it didn't work, well, he expected as much. He was puzzled and thought but why it wasn't fighting back, just earlier, it shot a dragon breath at them... Suddenly his eyes lit up and thought ...it could be. He growled excitedly that listen up, the soul has not fused completely yet. Karsenian asked fused. He shouted a human soul acted as a catalyst to control that massive body, but it would be difficult for a human soul to fuse with such an enormous being. He spread his wings, flew and shouted until the soul fused with the body... simply put... ...the bod can't reorganize itself. A giant body measuring hundreds of meters long passed by, carrying its weight on its front claws and scraping the skin of the Eldicreature and he shouted ...physical attacks that do not used mana will work. In an instant, the tissue was torn apart, leaving a long wound on the Eldicreature. Kiadrys shouted he saw, mana absorption was a property of the Almighty Creature, but it required a human soul to regenerate the body. He tore the Eldicreature to pieces and shouted let's slice up this hunk of flesh... ...before the soul fused completely. He shouted watch out, Karsenian, she should get out of there.

He said Kiadrys... ...it's not over yet... ...if the human soul has not yet fused with the body, it won't be able to regenerate and absorb at the same time. He clenched his teeth and said that hideous failure of the gods... He took a breath. He let out his third, last breath he was allowed and shouted ...this was the power of an ancient dragon. The most destructive flame he had ever seen, a red aura that had transcended the concept of flame and was pure destruction itself, shot out through the air and approached Eldicreature. A powerful Flame Breath was embedded in Eldicreature. A merciless gust of wind blew and those inside the barrier screamed aaah. Rosarahim shouted they should watch out for the shockwave, they should behind her. Rosarahim who was half-stunned, as if she couldn't believe her eyes, she absentmindedly thought Elder... Arin buried his face deeper into Aria's arms. Arin said Aria... ...there's no way a strong dragon like his mom... was devoured... ...this has to be a dream, right, dragons dream all the time, how can any of this be real... He sighed and said damn... He said ...he gave Eldicreature his all to blast that Dragon Breath, but it didn't even make a dent... A torrential downpour of tentacles poured down from all sides of him. The giant reached out with hundreds of hands and he flew and shouted ugh. He thought if his attacks won't work... ...then no dragon can win against this monster. Hundreds of tentacles suddenly began to attack him from behind. He shouted haha... he let out a roar that ...they foolish gods, they've gone and done it. A tentacle grabbed one of his feet. Like a butterfly caught in a spider's web, crimson tentacles entangled His entire body. He clenched his teeth and shouted grrr... In the pain of him very existence becoming someone else's, he let out his last roar, using the last of his feeble reason that ...the envy of the gods... ...has plunged everything back into chaos. He let out his last roar, almost a mockery that this was only the beginning. Seria watched a plane of light that showed the outside world so clearly that it seemed as if a huge hole had been punched through space itself. Seria asked to Rake that's it, the legendary ancient dragon was defeated, just like that. A well-made, but unnaturally shaped doll of Rake was smiling with a strange smile on its lips and answered yes, just like that. Eldicreature in the shape of Rake said he was created to exterminate those dragons, to the one who embraced all, the existence of dragons must be insignificant.

Zahadrian said ...what news Rosarahim do bring, she assumed there's been an emergency dire enough for her to almost kill her. Rosarahim became depressed and spoke calmly that the thing was... Rosarahim said ...Elder passed away, he was... killed, to be precise, and Zahadrian's complexion changed noticeably. Zahadrian's gestures froze for a moment and asked what. Someone asked how that was even possible, who could kill him, the most powerful ancient dragon. Rosarahim looked helplessly at the ground. Rosarahim answered honestly that it was Eldicreature, the Almighty Being, the failed experiment of the gods has awakened. Someone thought Karsenian's son... seemed pretty shaken up, the death of his family members was hard for a hatchling to swallow.

In a splendid reception room of the Imperial Palace, Zahadrian and a group of men and women sat at a round table. Zahadrian spoke gloomily that ...unfortunately, the worst part was... Someone concluded her speech gloomily that ...he's dead. In an instant, Graiad and Helmerneid's faces turned suddenly pale. Armace shouted as if he could not believe it that h-how was that possible, Elder the most powerful ancient dragon was alive, the other ancient dragons would have to team up just to stand a chance against him... Someone shouted ...perhaps the intel was wrong... Zahadrian called Rosarahim. Rosarahim said yes, she'll take it from here. By the time Rosarahim finished speaking, the Dragon Kings' faces had turned pale, almost blue. Armace muttered blankly that he doesn't believe it, the Almighty Creature was truly monstrous.

Zahadrian asked their enemy killed him, but it let Rosarahim, who was also there, get away, even if she was in human form, it must've known she was a dragon, what he does supose this meant. Erkas asked ...Zahadrian was suggesting that the Almighty Creature let Rosarahim go on purpose, so it could gather them in one place and take them down all at once. Brodendeim shouted wait, that does mean this was a trap. Zahadrian said not necessarily, they've a better chance of winning by sticking together than being defeated one by one, the Almighty Creature, whose sole purpose was to annihilate all dragons, would never have made such a choice, that left only one explanation, it was the catalyst, the human mind, that let Rosarahim go.

Arin was standing in a bright place. From the darkness, Kiadrys, Karsenian, and he appeared. Arin saw Karsenian, fell backwards and screamed eek.

Three months later. Latisse asked godness... what Gaster has been doing all this time. Gaster replied he got his hands on the lost treasures. the ones hoarded by the greatest ancient dragon on earth for 6,500 years, that's, his legacy, it took quite a while just to dig them out, to stay under the Almighty Creature's radar, he had to hire workers who didn't use mana, he discovered a mountain of treasure, not that it was his primary goal, he assumed that the dragons would've left a record somewhere, a record of how they defeated the Eldicreature in the past. Someone was astonished and shouted Gaster was saying... he found a way to destroy the Eldicreature. Gaster answered yes, exactly. Suddenly, Gaster's voice grew quiet and said he did find a solution.. ...but he can't find the agent to carry out the dead. Latisse was puzzled and asked what Gaster do mean.
