Chapter 526 Dark Dragon Lord

[Moments Earlier]

"M-My Lord... what exactly do you plan to do with those humans?"

Kar'en, as well as her subordinate, were bowed in the presence of the Dark Dragon Lord, but after getting his permission to raise their heads, they both cast their gaze upon him.

They still remained on their knees, though.

As Kar'en's crimson eyes reflected the immaculate form of her superior, she felt tremors within her body. Merely speaking to him gave her shivers.

Despite belonging to the same species as the Death Dragon Lord, and one of those recognized as viable candidates to succeed him, she still revered the Dark Dragon Lord as her true master.

She had trained under his guidance for the longest time, after all.

"Hm? What do you mean? I already said I would let them go, didn't I?" Lord Ob'elisk replied, almost acting surprised by the General's questions.

"J-just like that...?"

The Dragon Lords were mysteries, even to the members of their race. As such, it was very difficult to decipher the true emotions and intentions of one, even if they outwardly displayed a particular trait. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

The Dark Dragon Lord was known to be detached and ruthless, yet here he was talking about sparing the insignificant humans.

'Lord Ob'elisk doesn't even care much for any of his offspring, especially if they're weak. That's why he did not even hesitate to take me under his wing despite not being from his lineage...'

As long as one was competent, they had the attention of the Dark Dragon Lord.

"I-I don't understand..."

"You don't need to. It's just going to be a waste to eradicate them now, after all." The Dragon Lord said with a slight shrug.

"Besides, we can eliminate them at any time. There's nothing wrong in waiting a little while longer to fatten up the lambs a little longer."

"I-I see..." Kar'en clasped her hands as she heard her Lord utter those words.

He was even feeling a little sleepy as he stood.

'The Emperor wants to spare the humans, so I have to obey. The reason I showed up was to stop the whole investigation personally, and also to personally see how much human civilization has grown.'

It had been a couple decades or so since he last came out to check the humans out—or even left the comfort of his castle at all—and it seemed not much had changed about them.

Their civilization looked pretty much the same.

'Well, it's a good thing I came when I did. I initially thought I would have to stop my minions from killing more humans, but it seems it was the other way around.'

Ob'elisk couldn't have anticipated what he saw with his eyes. The humans actually had the upper hand in the fight.

'They've killed three of them already, and these two would have surely died if I didn't show up.' He cast his gaze on Kar'en and Ser'ith—both of them looking completely rejuvenated thanks to his Potion.

'Well, none of that matters now. All I need is to get the name of the guy who killed my offspring and kill him, at least to save some face.'

He didn't really care for revenge, but he couldn't afford to show up after so long and not do anything. That would reduce the perception of Dragon Lords in the eyes of humans, and he was sure the Emperor would scold him if that happened.

'At the very least... I should just kill my child's murderer. That's more than enough justification, right?' With that in mind, he nodded and completely turned to his subordinate.

They were already on their feet, saluting and ready for action. It was moments like this that reminded Ob'elisk that his subordinates were at least somewhat sensible.

"Okay, let's return."
