Chapter 1245 Basil, Mother Of Dragons
She contains a part of my soul which is why it is not farfetched to say that she is a part of me. My children, I have seen what you are doing in the world, and I am a bit disappointed. You have been lazing about and what have that brought us? The Dragon of Revelation managed to escape from its prison." The Goddess Tiamat stated.
"It was all the mortal\'s fault! They were the ones that released the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." Terrian Quake argued but the Goddess Tiamat looked at him.
The Goddess Tiamat then flicked her two fingers and sent Terrian Quake flying to a nearby wall. The wall broke his fall and did no damage to him, but he was hurt emotionally. He did not think that their mother goddess will punish him for saying such a thing that he deems true.
"Do not place all the blame in the humans! I know for a fact that you told one our descendants to use the God Slaying Sword. You know that unlocking one will cause a chain reaction and the greed of man can almost rival the greed of dragon kind." The Goddess Tiamat stated.
"Apologies for wronging you, mother goddess. I was the one that sent a young dragonoid to fetch the sword, but I only did so due to a partial descent of a dark god. We managed to quell that dark god before it descended but it came with a heavier price later on." Volcanius Ignim stated as he bowed to the ground.
"We apologize as well because we were not proactive enough in stopping the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." The other elemental dragon kings followed up.
"The past is the past, but the future is unknown which is why I am already telling all of you to become proactive. If all of you were active, then all the young ones would have been born before the Festival of the Dragon King. Do I make myself clear?!" The Goddess Tiamat stated.
"We promise to never fail you again, Mother Goddess." The six elemental dragon kings stated unanimously.
"One more thing that I will add. I would not have succumbed to this if all of you did your best, but it has come to this. Champion Equinox, the Champion of the Twin Gods, will need one of you to aid him against the angels. He has my blessing to command a Dragon King and his kin for a day. Do I make myself clear?!" The Goddess Tiamat stated.
"It is clear, Mother Goddess." The six elemental dragons stated.
"Who shall you pick, Champion Equinox?" The Goddess Tiamat stated as she asked Adrian.
"If the angels use light, then we will need darkness to counteract them. I need the strength of the almighty Dark Dragon King, Drakness Tenebrosus." Adrian replied.
"My child! The Champion Equinox will call upon you when the time comes. Make sure to talk with him for the arrangements. I said what I can say with the time that I am given. Remember that I have eyes on all of you which is why you must behave!" The Goddess Tiamat stated as the aura coming out of Basil suddenly shot back to the sky.
Some of the dragon kings wanted to retort but they cannot go against the decision of their Mother Goddess. At the very least, they will be commanded for only a day and the Champion of the Twin Gods. They will not face humiliation from the Elder Dragons for such servitude.
"I can finally control my own body again!" Basil stated.
"Come disciple! You will need to rest." Pann stated as the other dragon kings except for Drakness Tenebrosus followed. Ark and Pana also followed Pann for refreshments and to ask Basil what skills she got.
"You have requested for my aid, Champion Equinox. I will answer the call, but I must know what grudge do you have against the angels? They might have been delinquents back then, but they have become milder now." Drakness Tenebrosus stated.
"If mild is what you describe this then I bet you would want to kill them." Adrian stated as he showed summoned a demon eye from the observation room.
Adrian then played the recorded events that the angels did such as slaughtering people they call as heretics. He also showed the angels killing other angels that wanted to live alongside the humans. He showed other atrocities that were hidden from the eyes of others but not the demons.
"Those acts might be questionable, but this world is always about survival of the fittest. It is also the reason why the Daemos do not fight against the course of life and avoid taking sides." Drakness Tenebrosus stated as he found the acts of the angels despicable but a part of the cycle of life.
"I know but this last one that you will hear might anger you. I am just giving you the perspective that they are not reformed as you think that they are." Adrian stated as he pulled out a demon eye that is cracked but still working.
"Mistress Pristina! We have successfully lured all the other humans in obtaining the remaining God Slaying Weapons." A voice from the demon eye stated.
"Very good. The only thing left now is to release the Dragon of Revelation to make this world\'s dimensional barriers unstable. If we do that then the gate to the Silver City shall open." A voice coming from the demon eye with the image of the Angel Pristina stated.
There was a bit more to the recording but the video being shown suddenly got hit by a blast of light. At that part, Pristina noticed the demon eye and destroyed it with a light elemental spell. It took a while for this broken demon eye to be fixed which is why Adrian only got the footage now.
Drakness Tenebrosus trembled in anger as the aura of a dragon king suddenly burst but he controlled it immediately. He thought that the angels have reformed because they were undergoing peace talks with the dragons. One of their own is even a friend of one of their descendants. He did not think that they were actually being blindsided.
"Please enlighten me, did the dragons gave the information about the Dragon of Revelation to the angels? From how the Goddess Tiamat reacted earlier, she does not want the Dragon of Revelation to resurface back to the mortal world. Even the Daemos have few information on where the four god slaying weapons were sealed." Adrian stated.
Drakness Tenebrosus fell silent and that was what Adrian needed to confirm his suspicions. The dragons could care less about the dark gods because they see themselves as more powerful. The fact that the angels devised a plan to make a dark god descend to trigger the dragons into revealing the locations of the god slaying weapons is very ingenious.
"We only knew the location of two of them. The other two\'s location must have already been known by the angels. Still, this is a grave accusation against the angels. Are you sure that your biases did not affect this accusation?" Drakness Tenebrosus stated as he did not fully believe everything yet.
"You are actually asking that to a demon? If we had actually known that the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse can summon the Dragon of Revelation, then we would have killed them far earlier. We did not immediately meddle because humans were the ones that released them, and it was their problem as well.
To think it would escalate like this, even we know what our faults is. Let me ask you this then...where were the angels when we were fighting the Horsemen of the Apocalypse? If they really wanted to protect mankind like they say they would then where were the angels when the world was almost destroyed?" Adrian stated but Drakness Tenebrosus also fell silent.
The dragons actually questioned the angels as well, but they replied that they helped the humans from the effects of the horsemen such as monster hordes. Drakness Tenebrosus know that the angels outnumber the dragons, and they would have easily pacified the monster hordes for the humans to recollect themselves. The Dark Dragon King knew that deep down that something was not right with how the angels acted starting that day.
"Anyways, I could care less about your reluctance because I command you to prepare the dark dragons. You shall attack the gates of the Silver City in a week from now at my behest." Adrian stated as he infused that command in the Mark of Tiamat.
