Chapter 1341 Meeting Between Divine Dragons
-----
(Drake"s POV)
Once we dealt with Erebus, peace finally came to the mountain. We never thought that we would arrive in the middle of a fight of this caliber… In fact, I wasn"t even aware there were Chaos Princes! Does this means they had a freaking royal family and all?
I hope we don"t get to encounter more of these guys, one is enough… Benladann told me the guy"s still arguing with the other chaos spirits, and asking to be freed, but for now, he"ll be confined in that place for a while.
He was strong though, and I can already imagine how powerful he would be if he was at full power like in the past, but right now, he was too weakened, even with all his might, I was able to pull through, weaken him, and separate him from the Mountain Guardian.
Benladann and Miranda then helped me by eating him… Benladann already showed me she was now able to conjure his very deadly flames, so that"s something that"ll make my already lethally powerful wife even stronger, I couldn"t be happier.
More importantly, after that fight, we had a small reunion with the Mountain Guardian, Surtr, and his friends. Looks like Jamar was a rather new addition to their team, while the twins were at his side since he was born in that egg.
Apparently, this young fire dragon is the very last fire dragon in the entire world… Yeah, there"s not a single more of them, which is a bit depressing. He"s a hardworking, slightly immature young man. He had gone through his fair share of experiences, and he"s slowly shaping to be a powerful dragon himself.
However, he still lacked strength to fight overwhelmingly powerful beings beyond Rank 6, such as Erebus and the Mountain Guardian. In fact, if I hadn"t arrived with my Mana, they would had probably gone through even more pain against Trafalh, a former Dark Myconid that was turned into a monster by Erebus.
From all I was able to collect and learn. The story was like this… Erebus was unearthed from a fossil-like black stone by Trafalh by mere chance, this ended on him being possessed right away. Erebus then slowly brainwashed him and controlled him into doing his bidding.
All this time he prepared to possess an even bigger vessel, the mountain guardian. Oh yeah, the mushroom people, they"re called Myconid, and Jamar is one of them.
"You worked hard, and I saw you doing your best, to the point you were willing to sacrifice yourself for your friends." Drake smiled. "Maybe if I hadn"t come here, things would had been different… But I think you all would had somehow survived. I kind of know it, I can tell when I see a group of relentless warriors."
I decided to give Surtr and his friends some words of motivation, because he looked too depressed. And I am quite weak to little dragons getting depressed… I"ve already suffered enough seeing Aquarius" past.
"For now, how about we clean things up and then go to the mountain village?" I asked. "Like that, we can introduce one another much better. There"s a lot we need to talk about."
"S-Sure!" Surtr nodded. "Thank you for helping again!"
"No worry, boy. You"re not useless either. For what"s to come, I"ll need of your help." I said, quickly thinking of the words Yggdrasil said.
Despite being rather weak right now, he"s destined to be a crucial part of my growth, and also, someone that will be able to fight against the Flame Emperor"s Flames of the End. With his own Flames, the Flames of Origin.
So in this little time we have before that b.a.s.t.a.r.d arrives, I need to make Surtr as strong as I possibly can… And also all his friends, they seem to share part of his strength through having drank his blood, similarly to how my friends gained great power from drinking mine.
"I wish I could accompany you but unlike you dragons I can"t become smaller…" Sighed the Mountain Guardian. "And I am quite tired… However, I can speak to you through telepathy later."
"Y-you should definitely go to take a rest, guardian!" Jamar said.
"Yeah, don"t worry about it for now." I nodded. "Have a good rest. Maybe in the future we"ll need your strength, so make sure to sleep well."
"Thank you… I am well aware of the approaching dangers. Once the time comes, you can count on my strength." The Guardian said humbly, slowly walking to his nest.
Once that was done for, we flew back into Jamar"s village, where we took a brief visit. This time, we all turned into our much smaller, humanoid forms. And I also brought some friends, as they wanted to explore this place and see the mushroom people.
This included my daughters, who were fascinated with their surroundings. Benladra and Kate were glancing everywhere curiously.
"Oooh, mushrooms everywhere daddy!" Benladra said. "I never thought there was such a place out there!"
"Nn! So pretty! Colorful big mushrooms." Kate nodded, floating at the side of her big sister.
"T-These are your…?" Surtr wondered.
"Our daughters." Benladann answered with a smile.
"Yeah, this is Benladra and this is Kate." I presented the two to them.
eaglesnov?1,сoМ "Nice to meet you mister red dragon!" Benladra said politely.
"Nn, nice to meet you uncle." Said Kate.
"U-Uncle? Hahaha… Do I look that old?" Surtr laughed. He also had his own humanoid form, which was much smaller and human-like than the fire giants.
I guess he didn"t get such a form because I was only able to become an ice giant for… eating a few bandits back then, I don"t think he has my same abilities, so his humanoid form is much different.
"Just call me big brother! I used… to have a little sister that reminds me of you two…" Surtr suddenly said.
"Little sister?" I asked. "But aren"t you the only fire dragon?"
"A-Ah… Right… I-I mean from the village, in the fire giant village! Hahaha…" Surtr avoided the question with a rather obvious lie.
"No need to hide the fact you"re a reincarnated person, I am too." I laughed. "Anybody with Unique Skill is one."
"D-Don"t tell me you"re also from Earth?!" He cried in surprise.
"Yep, he is, and us too." Benladann said.
"W-WHAT?!"
Surtr was shocked.
