Chapter 798 Dragon King
Chapter 798 Dragon King
—–Drake was surprised once more, apparently he was not only given an incredibly important Title, but he was the one that could actually achieve the dream that Tiamat and all other dragons had been working hard through thousands of years. He was going to become the vessel to all of such dreams and all their accumulated strength over the eons. Not only he learned that the Draconic Records where the origins of why dragons had such incredible power from birth (except him, as he was Cursed by the world in his infancy), but he also learned about Tiamat, his grandmother, and the Mother of All Dragons and Creation.
”But then why… Did I had Titles such as Calamity Bringer?” Asked Drake.
”That’s because to oppose the world and the Venerables, you must become a calamity bringer, someone that instill fear into their hearts. The world itself fears you as you’ve got the potential to destroy the world… but you also have the potential to free the world and all of its inhabitants from the cage known as Fate.” Said Nifl.
”But don’t the Venerables want the same thing at the end? What’s the difference between me and them?” Asked Drake.
”Haven’t you realized yet? Your own heart wants to protect this world and your family. Is that not enough proof that you’re different than those monstrous greedy Venerables? There might be some that want to help you, but the majority, especially those like Oberon are insane… You’re the one that have the potential to put an end to them… But unlike your father, I don’t want to force you… I know you’ve already decided to do it but telling you directly and giving you an order is not really my style, my child.” Said Nifl. “Tell me what you want to do, and your mother will accept it anyways.”
”Nifl…” Sighed Drake with a mild smile. “Don’t worry, I want to do it too, I love this world already, and its people. Although there are a lot of douchebags around, there is also a lot of wonderful and amazing people I want to help and protect. The more I explore this world, the more I realize there are so many amazing people out there… I don’t want it to end at all, especially because this world is also loved by my family. Leave it to me, mother… siblings, everyone!” Said Drake. The souls of all other ice dragons celebrated his decision, cheering for Drake, they were thousands of warriors that had fallen in battle and wars to protect this world, all united in the Draconic Records for him!
”Your family is cheering for you, my son. You’ve chosen well… There will be many challenges now that you’ve become a divine dragon, but you must face them with your might. As you grow stronger, the powers of the Draconic Records will strengthen you. Remember, seek the bloodlines of the other dragons, this is the key that will allow you to access their sections in the Draconic Records and develop the Dragon King seed within the core of your soul.” Said Nifl. “And for now, your time is almost up, go visit your father’s divine realm and tell him that I love him for me.”
”Thank you, mother… I will.” Drake said, as he quickly disappeared from within the pseudo realm of the Draconic Records. Nifl smiled faintly, as she looked down into the depths of the Draconic Records pseudo-realm.
In there laid an immense soul, so big it was as big as the entire world of Yggdrasil itself. It had the faint shape of a gigantic dragon resting with its head over the floor. It had billions of runes spreading across the entirety of her body, glowing with bright gold light, while the rest of her body was as if it were made of stone. Her eyes were closed, but within this enormous body, there was a gigantic aura of life emanating from… a faint presence watching over Nifl and Drake, and all other Dragon Souls.
Nifl then heard the voice of her mother, faint and small, yet… she was there.
”Well… done…”
”Mother!” Nifl felt immediately shocked, as she looked down, but there was no other voice anymore, she had once more fallen into silence.
”…I’ll make sure to protect little Drake as well mother, and guide him well through his journey…”
FLASH!
Drake opened his eyes, finding himself within the dark caves of his father’s divine realm, Fafnir. He found that this place was very realistic to be a “realm” and was wondering if he could also make or create such an internal space. If it could be possible, he would be able to put his family and friends inside, safe from the outside world.
”You’re back. Did you see everything now, my son?” Asked Fafnir.
”Yes I did… It was very enlightening, I even meet mother.” Said Drake.
”Oh! Nifl! How is she?” Asked Fafnir.
”She said she has almost fully recovered, and she said that she loves you.” Said Drake.
”Ahhh… She’s such a lovely woman even now… You know? She was very cold when I met her, but I just had to melt that icy heart of hers and then I finally got to know her true self! She’s the first woman I’ve ever loved and the one I will continue to love until my death.” Said Fafnir.
”Come on, don’t talk about deaths now, I don’t want any more dragons to die.” Said Drake.
”Hm. Certainly there are many of us gone now, we are incredibly rare…” Sighed Fafnir. “Now that we are done with this, there are a few minutes left before you’re sent back… My son, I want to ask you something… What sort of power did you use to absorb the Sinful Flames and make them your own power?!”
”Oh! That? Well… It is part of the powers within my Unique Skills, you already know that I have some of them, right?” Asked Drake.
”I do… So it was that, huh?” Wondered Fafnir. “To tell you the truth… such a power… it has never existed in this world.”
