Chapter 244: State of the World (1/2)

The being that descended from the heaven-like clouds seemed endless. They could see its beginning, and its end, yet they felt like it was all a lie.

'It's an eastern dragon' Ed thought to himself as he looked at the dragon. The dragon had green scales that resembled the purest leaves of a forest. The scales seemed to change their color intensity as the dragon moved in the sky.

It had long whiskers that made it seem like a sage. Its horns resembled a deer's, and they looked menacing. On its back, a silver patch of fur extended from its head to its tail. Its long body finally stopped moving. Its gigantic form towered over the heavens and the earth. Everyone, including Vortigern who was dozens of kilometers away, could feel its power.

”It's up to you now, Edward” Vortigern spoke softly as he turned around and started to walk into the cave.

'System, analysis.'

[You're in for a treat with this one, hahaha.] Ed was surprised after hearing the system laugh for the first time ever. He knew that the system could express emotions, as it cracked jokes from time to time, and even teased Ed before. But, he had never heard it laugh.

'So, he's that difficult of an enemy?'

[The strongest monster you've ever met. Even stronger than the black dragon from before, and no not the tower one.] Ed couldn't believe what he was told. The black dragon from two years ago was so overwhelmingly powerful, that Ed couldn't scan it. Ed knew that the system could tell its power, so he couldn't even deny it.

'Well, let me see the analysis.'

[Most certainly.]

Name: Unknown. (Divine Dragon)

Grade: Mythical.

Cultivation: Immortal Establishment level 7.

'You weren't kidding' Ed exclaimed in his mind. 'What does it mean by 'Unknown'? I was able to know Mehen's name from before, so what's the difference?'

[My best guess is that the dragon lived for such a long time, that it forgot its own name. That, or it had amnesia.]

'Well, wouldn't that be funny.' Ed smiled wryly as he looked at the grade of the dragon. Mythical. A grade that only his favorite sword Shusui, and some of his skills share.

”thee who is't has't trespass'd ov'r mine own mountain, state thy purpose,” The dragon's voice kept reverberating. As if he was overlapping his own words. Of course, due to the type of English he used, none could understand him. No one, except the eccentric angel, Merry.

”Merry, you spoke this way when we first met. Care to translate?” Ed looked at the floating Merry as he spoke.
