Chapter 319: The Dragon Village

Chapter 319: The Dragon Village

[Luna POV]

Wow, this place honestly feels like a different worldThat statement feels redundant.

{Well, in your case, it kind of is. Hmm? Come to think of it, does the Divine Domain count as a different world as well, even if its still a part of this one? Does that mean youve traveled to three different worlds?}

I-I dont knowIm going to stop thinking about this now and focus on the surroundings.

As I said, I looked around as we walked. Aside from the buildings that gave off the feeling of ages long passed, even the air here felt ancient.

This place feels old. (Ophidia)

It reminds me of a long time ago. (Skadi)

We dragons change little, even compared to the longest lived demons. Though that also apples to our thoughts and sensibilities. Alas, that is the way, for those that count years the same as minutes. (Ling)

(Ophidia)

(Skadi)

Hey now, dont start getting all weird on us. You two still have a ways to go before you start feeling like that, heck, do demigods and Apostles even have that problem? (Nian)

My mirror floated around me and Tamamo started to speak.

{While time does slip by sometimes, gods, demigods, and Apostles dont have the problem of getting stuck in it, though some of us consider it a curse. For gods, we cant get stuck in time, or we risk messing something up with the Concepts we govern. But thats enough about divine circumstances.}

Where are all the people nya? (Mio)

Around. Some are probably still asleep, some are guaranteed to be drunk. (Dusk)

Theyve been watching us for a while now too. I think theyre just being timid about new people showing up after a long time. (Luna)

Timid dragons. I never thought those two things would go together. (Velvet)

It really doesnt fit the image of dragons from stories, does it. (Soleil)

OI! YOU WERE THE ONES THAT WANTED TO MEET THE VISITORS, SO WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING HIDING!? (Nian)

Idiot. Do you want Old Reverious to know Luna is here in the village? (Dusk)

Oh, he knows. Hes been watching me for the last two days and has been trying to teleport me to him the entire time. (Luna)

And when exactly where you going to tell us about that? (Skadi)

I wasnt. Its not like we didnt know he would try something and it doesnt really bother me to stop his attempts to teleport me. I mean, its as easy as just thinking I dont want to go and I dont. Sure, this doesnt help with our new objective with him, but whatever. The more annoyed he is with me, the easier it will be to provoke him to attack so I can knock him out long enough for Hoshi and I to do our thing and get him to become a demispirit. (Luna)

Lunya, how much are you going to play around before knyocking him out nya? (Mio)

Um, isnt this bad then, Chen? What about Old Reverious? (Lisk)

Nothing we can do about it. Its not our problem. (Chen)

True. Anyway, would you all like to talk somewhere that isnt outside? We can prepare some tea and chat for a while, swap stories, get to know everyone better, possibly learn what how the outside world has changed? (Lisk)

I looked at everyone and none of them objected, so we agreed to Lisks proposition. When we started making our way towards the building that the three of them came from, I felt someone appear behind our group.

When I turned around to see who it was, a tall man was standing there. He wore a long brown and black robe. His hair was brown with some patches of white and dull red eyes. His horns almost looked like a bulls, but were too thin. From his back grew a long, brown scaled tail that was tipped with a what looked like a golden blade. Like the three sisters, his arms had a painted look, only this time the colors were brown, black and gold, and he had scales that looked like armor all along his arms.

You. Eight-tailed fox. Youve stolen something that was rightfully mine. You have usurped my rightful place and put my hundreds of thousands of years of work to waste. Then you taunt me by stopping all of my efforts to bring you to me. I am Reverious! AND I WILL KILL YOU AND TAKE MY PLACE AS GOD OF SPACE! (Reverious)

Well, thats a dramatic entrance if Ive ever seen one. (Luna)

Chaos Realm:

Order: In-chan.

Crisis: Yes?

Order: What are you teaching my daughter?

Crisis: Nothing that I would consider bad.

Order:...I...*sigh*

You realize that you are the literal personification of insanity, right? What you consider not bad is absolute madness for normal people and gods.

Crisis: Oh please, there's nothing that I could teach Astraea that you won't eventually, Mister Chaos Personified.

Order: Astraea is literal Balance and Positivity, once she fully comes into her powers, anything weird you taught her has the chance to become what all worlds will consider positive. You do realize that, right?

Crisis: Yeah. And? Where is your adventurous spirit? This has every chance to make things infinitely more interesting.

Order, I think she's a lost cause...

Order: Payto, I don't like that contemplative look you're getting.

It's just, I can kind of understand her point.

Order: Once we're done here, we are going to have a serious talk, do you understand?

Yes ma'am!

Crisis: Kukukukukukuku. Now to sneak away while she's distracted.

Order: Oh no you don't. *Grabs Crisis by the ear*

Crisis: Gah!
