“Who’s there!”
The petite maiden sitting on the throne was shocked and angry.
When the childish voice made a sound, Mythril King Heloise already felt the dragon aura and the breath of a demigod. Therefore, she only asked a question instead of making a move.
Even if the Mythril King was kind, she was still a proud dragon. This place was the royal palace of the Land of Dragons, so how could she not be angry that a threat had come here? Usually, she would have already killed someone.
But the breath of the demigod made her not dare do it easily. Still, she remained fearless due to her pride and confidence as a dragon.
Unlike other dragons who relied on their age to become powerful, the Mythril King and the Obsidian King were just like Noella. They obtained strength by virtue of their hard work. The only difference was that the Mythril King and Obsidian King were far more ancient than Noella.
Dragons were lucky if they had talent in addition to old age. When becoming ancient dragons, these dragons could even arm-wrestle with demigods, which is one of the reasons why dragons were the apex of countless races.
The Mythril King was different. She relied on her own power and became a demigod with her powerful body. Even true gods would have a hard time against her.
The difference between a demigod dragon and an ancient dragon could be seen from appearance. If an old dragon did not deliberately change their appearance, it would appear as an old man. Only the Mythril King who was a demigod dragon tried to maintain a young appearance.
That’s also why Heloise was so surprised when the strange dragon was also a demigod. She searched her memory carefully to find which dragon she knew had also reached such achievement.
While she looked young she was already thousands of years old.
A magic rune appeared in the palace. These runes converged to form a portal, but this place was the royal palace of the Land of Dragons, so there were many magical formations of protection. When the portal was about to form, the palace’s magical formations spontaneously activated, causing the portal to stop.
But at that moment, an extremely mysterious divine power fluctuation containing the power of dreams erupted. The body of the Mythril King shivered. The divine power was extremely terrifying. It had directly turned the magical formations in the palace into illusions that lost their effectiveness.
“To waste divine power like this, which demigod is so arrogant… no, this kind of application is definitely not something that a demigod can do!”
While the Mythril King was shocked, the portal had already formed. Then a petite young girl came out from the portal.
She had moonlight-colored hair and exquisite facial features. Her elven ears twitched slightly as she came out. Her body shrouded in the silver moon was delicate and beautiful. Even if the girl looked like a child, she still possessed a cold charm.
And because she was a dragon, her beauty that came from dragons attracted the other dragon’s attention.
Even elder dragons who had low desires felt a terrible desire to breed when they saw the young girl in front of them. Their eyes flashed with amazement and incredulity.
“What a beautiful dragon!”
“What kind of dragon species is this? Could it be a legendary dragon species?”
“Such a beautiful figure. It’s even more beautiful than a silver dragon and nobler than a gemstone dragon!”
“……”
The dragons let out an exclamation under the commotion, worshiping the eye-catching maiden in front of them.
But the Mythril King would not be surprised by Alexia’s face and beauty. She saw that the maiden was a mixed breed of a dragon and an elf. As if receiving enlightenment, a name immediately came into her mind.
“You… you are the child of the silver moon and a dragon. The favored of the moonlight, the guardian of the Dragon Kingdom, the queen of the elves, the ruler of the southern continent, Her Highness Alexia?”
If purely by strength, she was stronger than Alexia. She had lived for thousands of years and became a demigod step by step. She was a queen who had beaten down the nature of dragons. Alexia could not compare to her as she was just a young dragon born for a few years.
But the Mythril King had to be careful of the two gods behind Alexia. One of them was the only god among the dragons, the self-proclaimed Dragon God, His Highness Louie Galakrond, and the other was the oldest of the gods, the Silver Moon Goddess, the main gods of the elves, Her Highness Selune.
These two gods were considered the strongest among the gods, and Alexia was a true second generation.
This was the same as an extremely rich merchant meeting a second-generation heir who didn’t have as much money but had a family behind them with wealth several degrees more than them.
At the same moment, the elder dragons also reacted. If they were still young dragons, they might continue indulging in Alexia’s beauty and even commit blasphemy. Luckily, they were elder dragons and ancient dragons so they could suppress their desires relatively easily.
After knowing who the young maiden was, no dragon dared to hit on her or think ill of her.
“Exactly, I am Alexia. It was rude of me to come uninvited, Mythril King… er, what should I call you?”
Alexia seemed courteous, but her pride as a dragon and an elf made her sound as arrogant as ever.
“My name is Heloise… wait, didn’t Your Highness just seem to say Father God?”
The Mythril King’s heart tensed. For Alexia to call someone Father God, then there could only be one…
As she finished processing her thoughts, two more figures came out from the portal. One was a man wearing golden robes with a black shawl that complimented his black long hair and golden pupils. His body seemed to have the color of dreams that brought forth awe and divine might that was the same as the one that destroyed the magical formations.
“Dragon… God…”
The Mythril King gritted her teeth and called Louie’s title. Although she did not want to admit his identity as the Dragon God, she realized how small she was in the face of a true god. As a demigod dragon, she was frightened by Louie’s incarnation.
At the same time, the dragons present also saw the figure beside Louie.
“Noella Nys Gein?”
“You didn’t die?”
“Ha, that strange dragon who went to the human world to learn magic came back. How did you become a shadow dragon?”
“What a disgrace becoming a shadow dragon. You even have the face to appear on the main continent.”
“……”
This group of dragons from the good faction sneered when they saw Noella. Besides becoming a shadow dragon, the shame of all dragons, they also remembered what Noella did a thousand years ago and these dragons had classified her as one of those evil dragons.
“You old coots are actually all still alive!”
Noella apparently knew several of the elder and ancient dragons and burst out in anger.
Song that is currently on loop in my head:
Tell me why
Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache Tell me why Ain’t nothin’ but a mistake Tell me why I never wanna hear you say I want it that way
