Chapter 2004 - Chenglei (2) (1/2)
Chenglei wasn't as narrowminded as one might believe.
Yes, it was true that he was almost the reason for Madeleine losing all of her talent to Akihiko. Yes, it was true that his Clan was responsible for many of the horrors Dyon's Mortal World suffered. Yes, it was true that his grandfather was almost the reason for Dyon's death.
But, in the end, had he gone to seek Dyon for revenge?
In his mind, there was no chance that Dyon was a match for him now, yet his first action wasn't to seek him out despite the fact he could have, his first action was to go to the Pakals.
No matter what, Chenglei knew that if Dyon wanted him dead, he would be dead by now. It was Dyon who allowed Chenglei and his Daiyu Clan to go. No matter what, this was a debt his pride as a Dragon wouldn't allow him to forget.
Chenglei had come to the Pakals because he had plans to take their territory for himself, to rule over them and become the man he was meant to be. If he didn't bow his head to Dyon, why would he go to the Pakals just to do exactly that?
In addition, Chenglei was born with all of the Daiyu Clan's expectations thrust upon his shoulders. All of his actions to now had been for the sake of his Clan. If this wasn't the case, Dyon would have never let him go.
But, Chenglei still had his own pride, and Dyon had still killed his grandfather. He wouldn't go and find Dyon, but since Dyon had come to him, that matter was entirely different.
”COME OUT NOW!”
Years of pent up rage erupted. Balls of black flames spewed from his hot breath as he swam through the air. He didn't seem to care that he had just become such a large target, he didn't believe that anyone within the Ragnor army would dare to attack him.
At that moment, the enraged Emperor Pakal seemed to have understood something. His daughter whom he had gifted to Chenglei told him about this Dyon. There weren't any great specifics, but he knew enough to know that Dyon wasn't a member of the Ragnors.
'Could it be…?' Emperor Pakal's battle axes stopped their bloody grinding, his eyes fixed toward Chenglei's massive figure, his heart pounding uncontrollably. This was the first time he had seen Chenglei's true form… It was only now he realized that he couldn't see the limits of Chenglei's power.
The 12 'Elder Fey' began to panic inwardly when they heard Dyon's name being called. In fact, they were shocked. Since when had the Celestial Universe had Dragons?!
According to Dyon's original plan, the main army wouldn't attack until the Ragnors and Pakals had thoughts of retreat, it was only then they would have dealt the maximum amount of damage to each other and only then they would be the most fatigued. But, this sort of twist threw everything into disarray.
Just when they thought it might be possible for this to be seen as a ploy by the Ragnors, resulting in them counterattacking even more fiercely, yet another figure shot into the air.
”Will you not come out and face us?”
