143 Punishmen (1/2)
”It's been a while, Riyan.” Jin Rou patted the dragon's head gently. It was like a scenario of two friends meeting each other after a long time.
”It is, indeed, Your Majesty.” The celestial dragon said, ”I thought that you will not call me again since you descended from the heavens.”
”Haha, I really don't have a plan for previously, since you are too strong for the lower worlds.” Jin Rou laughed and looked at the terrified dragon on the other side, ”But a dragon dared to boast in front of me because it had the bloodline of the True Dragon. So I decided to call you out.”
The celestial dragon looked at the terrified dragon, ”Just a True Dragon and you dared to act arrogantly in front of His Majesty? You have tons of guts there just because you are from a good race.”
”Ahhhhh!” The terrified dragon immediately lowered its head in front of the celestial dragon and pleaded, ”This lowly one is Release, one of the mighty dragons of Grivexia. I did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, please forgive me for being blind.” the dragon was shaking in fear. Just the emitted aura of riyan was already enough to make it tremble.
Celestial Dragon Riyan. As a dragon, it knew who this dragon was! The celestial dragon was the proclaimed most powerful dragons of all the races in the universe. All of the celestial dragons were his juniors. Once it passed by, all dragons needed to prostate! After all, this was the oldest celestial dragon. To top it off, this dragon was under the overlord of the entire universe, the Rou Celestial Family!
So there's no need to compare celestial dragons to true dragons. After all, true dragons were one level lower than celestial dragons. But of course, one could not underestimate the power of the true dragons because they reigned the major realms up to now!
”Hmph. It is not me who will decide what to do with you.” The celestial dragon looked at the terrified dragon with disdain, ”It is for His Majesty to decide. Whatever the decision, you don't have the right to say anything nor plead!”
These words resonated in the entire mountain range that it made the ground trembled!
The terrified dragon did not say anything and just maintained its lowered head. It was full of regret and hate for himself. Regret because of his blind arrogance, since this was the lower world, it never thought that it could offend an existence it should not offend! An existence that could wipe their entire race out. If the elders were to know of this, it would become the sinner of its clan.
The terrified dragon just wished that everything will be settled with its incoming punishment.
The celestial dragon then looked at Jin Rou and bowed his head, ”Your Majesty, please decide of what to do with this ignorant dragon.”
Jin Rou shrugged his shoulders helplessly. He called out Riyan in order to take care of this, however, the celestial dragon dumped the work back to him. He then asked, ”Riyan, since you two are part of the same race, dragon, do you have perhaps some rules for the entire race? After all, you are the strongest and oldest of them all.” He decided to dump back the work to his celestial dragon.
”Hmmm.. indeed, I established a rule.” the celestial dragon pondered for a moment, ”But all of them had the punishment of death. So death is the right punishment for this ignorant dragon.”
”Ignorance is not a sin. Blind ignorance is.” Jin Rou smiled looking at the prostrating dragon, ”If I was not here and you appeared, I am sure you will kill the residents of this world without mercy, for fun. That, I cannot allow. So your punishment is death. However...” Jin Rou whispered 'True Death' before adding, ”I can give you a painless death.”
The dragon did not respond and just fell to the ground.
Stomp!
Its large body created a large stomp from the impact. Soon, it turned into dust and was taken by the wind, flying into the distant horizon.
