Chapter 263
Mounted on Blaze's back, Mu-Gun directed their course toward the Silver clan's territory. The two Blue Dragons trailed behind Blaze. With repeated wing flaps that propelled them beyond supersonic speeds, the trio swiftly reached the Silver clan's territory.
Soon after, three Dragons from the Silver clan emerged. In response, Blaze and the two Blue Dragons promptly descended to the ground, a communicative gesture among Dragons signifying an intent to converse rather than engage in combat.
As Blaze and the two Dragons touched down, the Dragons from the Silver clan descended in response. Observing Mu-Gun atop Blaze's back, the Silver clan's Dragons frowned. The divine aura of the Sky God Yupir and the Spirit God Vahara emanating from Mu-Gun was palpable to them.
-Why did you bring Gods representative into our territory?
The Dragon positioned at the center of the Silver clan's assembly spoke. It was none other than Antalion Silver Dragonia, the chief of the Silver clan. His eyes and expression, directed at Mu-Gun, seemed laden with displeasure.
-We came to ask you to carry out the mission given by the Dragon God Bracant with us.
Blaze said.
-Bracants mission?
-The demon God has descended on Avalon. Gods representative hopes to defeat the Demon God with us.
-How shameless of you to reach out because youre in a hurry when you locked us up for the past millennium.
Antalion snorted at Mu-Gun and said.
Despite the overtly displeasing demeanor from Antalion, Mu-Gun, undeterred, maintained a composed silence, his expression unchanged.
Blaze glanced at Mu-Guns reaction and spoke to Antalion.
-The Gods showed mercy on us and did not destroy us. Instead, they locked us in the Dragon Mountain Range. The reason for that is most probably because they want our Dragon clan to realize the mission left behind by the Dragon God Bracant, and to regain the Dragons lost honor. If we abandon Bracants mission, the world will think that we are evil monsters who tried to destroy Avalon by obeying the Demon God. Does the Silver clan want us Dragons to remain in history like that?
-We have no intention to dwell on Bracants mission, who has already perished.
Thermeon, the Blue Dragon clans chief, asked with a stiffened expression,
-By that, are you implying that you will stand on the Demon Gods side and destroy Avalon?
-No. We will not stand on either side, be that the Gods or the Demon God. I am saying that our Silver clan will no longer be involved in the fight between the Gods and the Demon God, Antalion replied firmly.
-As long as our Dragon clan is still living in Avalon, we cannot be free from God or the Demon God. If the Demon God descends and destroys Avalon right now, do you think the Silver clan will be safe? The Silver clan will have to decide between obeying the Demon God or fighting against the Demon God.
-Who knows? I think you and the Gods representative there can deal with the Demon God on your own, even if our Silver clan doesnt step forward.
-If we fight together, we would have a higher chance of eradicating the Demon God.
-I will say it again. We will not stand on either side.
No, you cant do that. You have to make a decision. Mu-Gun, who had been listening silently, couldnt hold back any longer.
-Thats up to our clan to decide.
Then I have no choice but to destroy the Silver clan as Gods representative.
-Are you coercing us right now?
You said that your clan will not stand on either side, be it the Gods or the Demon God, but that can change at any time. If your clan abandons your current decision and sides with the Demon God, it will be more difficult to eradicate the Demon God. In order not to leave any source of future trouble, I cannot keep your clan alive.
-In other words, either we fight the Demon God with you, or die at your hands without leaving behind any possible troubles.
Listening to you, it does sound like I am coercing you. However, that is how serious of a matter it is to eradicate the Demon God. Thus, I have no choice but to force you.
-Youre no different from the Demon God. The Demon God also told us to follow its lead if we didnt want to be annihilated.
Be that as it may, our intentions are different. The Demon God coerced you to destroy Avalon, but I am forcing you to protect Avalon. Above all, I am not forcing you to do something unfair. I am guiding you to walk down the right path after you Dragons committed a sin and did not fulfill your mission even after receiving strength from the Dragon God Bracant. Mu-Gun spoke in an imposing manner.
Thermeon supported Mu-Gun and said.
-What Gods Representative said is not wrong. Even if the Dragon God Bracant has perished, Bracants divinity is contained in the Mana Hearts of our Dragon clan. If we reject Bracants mission and sit by while watching the destruction of Avalon again, Bracants divinity will never forgive us.
I will also use the wind spirits for vigilant surveillance. Also, I will do my best to enhance and increase the power of the humans in case the Demon God summons its legion from the Hell Realm.
-As Gods representative said, I think it would be better for our Dragon clans to be in charge of tracking down the Demon Church.
-I feel the same way.
Blaze and Thermeon expressed their support for Mu-Guns opinion.
-If the will of the two Dragon clans is the same, then we, the Silver clan, will also do so, Antalion replied reluctantly.
Thank you. No matter how covertly the Demon Church moves, they will not be able to escape the eyes of the Dragon clans.
-Youre not saying that out of whim because you want to blame us if we cant track down the movements of the Demon Church, are you? Antalion asked suspiciously.
Haha. If the Dragon clans are not able to detect their movements even though you did your best to be on the lookout, how could I blame you? You dont have to worry about that at all.
-Then, we will have to leave Gods boundary first, Blaze said.
-Can you open Gods boundary? Thermeon asked.
Of course I can. Let's go.
Mu-Gun, accompanied by the three Dragon clans, proceeded to the end of the Logan Mountain Range, where the invisible boundary lay. The Dragons displayed excitement, their gaze filled with anticipation, as the prospect of escaping God's boundary after a thousand years unfolded before them.
Upon reaching God's boundary, Mu-Gun pressed both hands against it. Simultaneously, he channeled the divinity of both the Sky God Yupir and the Spirit God Vahara. The convergence of these divinities caused significant vibrations within God's boundary. Soon after, a portion of space on one side opened upa space sizable enough for the massive Dragons to freely enter and exit.
Lets go. Mu-Gun pointed to the open space.
With expressions of awe, the Dragons emerged through the opened space. Having traversed God's boundary and ventured beyond the Dragon Mountain Range for the first time in a millennium, the Dragons found it challenging to suppress their emotions. In reality, their departure from the Dragon Mountain Range did not herald any immediate substantial changes.
The Dragon clans reveled in delight and exhilaration simply at the restoration of their freedom, a precious liberation that had been stifled for so long.
-Thank you. If it wasnt for you, we would have been stuck in the Dragon Mountain Range for the rest of our lives.
Mu-Gun shook his head at Blazes remarks and replied,
Theres no need to thank me. You all were able to come out of Gods boundary like this because you realized the mission of the Dragons and resolved to fight against the Demon God.
-So, where should we go now? Thermeon asked.
As I have already mentioned, please keep a lookout on the six kingdoms.
-Since there are exactly six of us, we can take charge of one kingdom each and monitor it.
I think that will do.
-What are you going to do?
For starters, I intend to go to the Pamar Empires Imperial City and make preparations to stop the Demon Gods legion through the Anti-Demon God Alliance.
-I wonder if humans have the power to stop the Demon Gods legion, Antalion spoke dismissively of humans.
I, too, am a human being. Humans are weak, but at the same time, we are strong. When humans join forces, we will be able to stop even the Demon Gods legion.
-I hope what you say is true.
-Then, lets leave the matter regarding humans to you, and we will do what we are supposed to do.
I will leave it to you. Also, if anything should happen, please let me know immediately.
-Well do that.
The Dragons ascended into the sky before dispersing in various directions, each heading towards one of the six kingdoms. Observing the six Dragons vanish from his sight, Mu-Gun made his way to the nearest kingdomValencia Kingdom.
Subsequently, Mu-Gun used the central portal in the Valencia Kingdom to teleport directly to the Imperial City of the Pamar Empire.
