Chapter 792 Drake"s Parents 1

"But if I had such a strong Aura, how couldn"t they notice me?" Asked Drake.
"That"s because of the Curse the Yggdrasil"s Will put upon you right after you were born, brat." Said Fafnir.
"Curse… So that Curse actually saved my life?!" Asked Drake.
"Yes…" Said Fafnir. "When you were born you created all that fuss, but right after, you were Cursed by Yggdrasil, and therefore, your original powers, which were almost demiG.o.d in levels, were all sealed. This is why you were born into such a weak dragon many years after you were put inside a small cave in a snowy mountain, in a place where only horned rabbits lived so there wouldn"t be any egg-eating predator eating you before being born."
"But this also made it so the curse weakened you to the point of a mere mortal, even lesser than most dragon children, so weak that the enemies seeking you never detected you." Said Fafnir. "That curse seems to have been partially lifted with each of your evolutions until you reached G.o.dhood, now that curse is completely gone and you"re so strong because of that… and your other gifted powers alongside your own effort."
"So that d.a.m.n curse… I was really supposed to be born very strong? I struggled against mere horned rabbits, d.a.m.n it!" Sighed Drake. "Well, I had my Immortal Body though."
"I-Immortal Body?!" Asked Fafnir.
"We"ll talk about that later." Said Drake.
Although the Curse inflicted on Drake made by the Yggdrasil"s Will had weakened all of his powers and had sealed his divine dragon talents, Drake still had his reincarnation gifts, the Unique Skills! Using these set of powerful Unique Skills, he managed to survive the harsh wilderness even in his most weakened state as a divine dragon. Thanks to them, he quickly evolved and regained his strength, which is also a reason why he was able to gain so much power with each evolution, sometimes jumping several Stages within the Rank of his Mana Core.
"What… happened to you after I was gone?" Asked Drake. "You"re alive here so I guess you survived."
"Yeah, I did. Before shedding, I had a ma.s.sive scar in my back, and I was missing half my tail… It took me a hundred years to recover that wound, it was made protecting your mother from those d.a.m.n monsters…" Said Fafnir.
"Mother… Nifl? Is she… is she alive, right?!" Asked Drake, grabbing Fafnir"s chest and shaking him again.
"UWAAAGH! YEAH! SHE IS! STOP SHAKING ME, YOU d.a.m.n BRAT!" Fafnir slapped Drake away with his tail and quickly regained his composure.
SMACK!
"UGAKH…!" Drake was. .h.i.t, rolling over the ground, but he quickly got up and sat down cross-legged in front of Fafnir, his father. He quickly decided to hear him out as he spoke more about the details that happened back then. He was relieved that Nifl hadn"t died, it would had sucked that she were dead after all this time…
"…The monsters that attacked us where that d.a.m.n b.u.t.terfly"s remnants! I hate how these d.a.m.n mortals gained so much power! If it wasn"t because the land became shrouded in the divine power of all the G.o.ds that died after the Ragnar?k, mortals wouldn"t had gained this amount of power. now everybody uses Mana freely and can develop so fast!" Said Fafnir.
"So fast?! People take their entire lives and might still be Rank 1! What are you talking about?" Asked Drake angrily.
"There"s many that have reached G.o.dhood! If it wasn"t because the Yggdrasil"s Will came out with the brilliant idea to make lifespans, these monsters would still remain with us… the Venerables in specific, most of them are all d.a.m.ned monsters!" Said Fafnir. "b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, some of them attempted to hunt us until the end of the world! Many of our kin has slowly been killed by them because they hunted us for sport. They hunted dragon G.o.ds as if we were materials! Your mother was the one that helped me, she let me enter her Divine Sanctuary, where no Venerable has ever entered… Me and various other Dragon G.o.d refugees have survived the Eras from these d.a.m.ned Venerables there."
"Mother… She had done this much?" Asked Drake.
"Yes, your mother is someone… She"s admirable." Said Fafnir. "I am honored to have had a son with a woman such as Nifl… And my son is so strong too! GRYAHAHAHA!" Laughed Fafnir, laughing comically and celebrating the happiness of having a son.
Drake couldn"t help but smile a bit, now that things were slowly getting clearer, he was slowly managing to get a better sight of the whole picture. It was interesting how many things were going on everywhere, and how they were all related with one another!
"But tell me about those monsters…" Said Drake.
"The monsters? The Colors, of course! Amongst all the servants of the Venerables, the Colors, children of that d.a.m.n Oberon are the worst! One of his colors in specific, Red, that Vampire woman… Oberon was even able to infilter into the family of Vampires, inheritors of the Vampire Venerable, and had been controlling them from the shadows… We don"t even know how many d.a.m.n Soul Fragments he had reincarnated into clones that are scattered around the world. He is incredibly resourceful and has many informants, magic, technology, and unique skills at his disposal!" Said Fafnir, he seemed to hate Greenwood just as much as Drake did!
"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d of Greenwood… So he used his troops against you guys? He got some clones as strong as G.o.ds, right? I remember defeating one that was weakened some time ago, I ate him." Said Drake.
"Good job, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d probably deserved it! GRYAHAHAHA! And yes, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d has many powerful colors. He made one of each Race as well that would master each element… He wants to master each element and gain true elemental enlightenment. He believes that such power can let him destroy the world, reform it as he pleases, and then absorb it and then conquer what lies beyond it!" Said Fafnir.
"W-What? That"s his d.a.m.ned plan?!"
Drake couldn"t help but feel disbelief. He couldn"t believe that Oberon"s master plan was such a ridiculous thing! But what made it worse was that… seeing how resourceful and powerful he was, it was somehow a realistic dream!
