Chapter 331 - The Shadow Appeared (1/2)

A few months had passed since the battle with the legendary Red dragon Sen and only now had the divine being made a small recovery. It had nearly taken all of her power to cast that soul trapping spell.

She didn't even have the energy to move Sen's large body nor the crystal, so the two stayed on top of the fortress walls for the whole time. Usually, when a beast was to die, they would be quickly eaten by others, but the same could not be said for the dragon.

It had remained untouched, and its powerful magic seemed to linger on its body scaring everything away. This was good for the divine being for the creatures that would typically annoy her in this area seemed to stay away.

After making a recovery, the large crystal was placed in the altar room, and now all she needed to do was deal with the dragon's body. It was dangerous to leave it outside. Powerful magic still harboured in its body, and if someone was to get a hold of it, there was no telling what monstrosities they could create.

From its skin and bones alone, it had more power than most beast crystal out there in the world.

Now not under any sort of time frame, Bliss was able to now move the dragon. There was no need to cast instant teleportation, so she had time to draw out a sizeable magic circle under the body.

The truth was, even if she tried to cast such a spell, her body was far too weak. To be able to gather the strength she once had, it would take another 100 years or so.

She decided that the safest place would be the very same fortress the two of them fought.

It was almost impenetrable and had a large dungeon underneath.

The red dragon was no longer seen, and rumours had spread of its defeat. It seemed like the witch had done her task, yet there were no signs of her either. The public had made the prediction that the two of them must have killed each other in battle.

Around the same time, the news had spread that the red dragon had been defeated and the first signs of the Shadow started to appear.

Originally Bonzeland contained ten kingdoms and the empire. During this time, the empire had conquered two more kingdoms and now captured one-third of the continent.

Then creatures started to appear. Beasts that looked slightly different and were more powerful than before. Before they knew it, one of the largest kingdoms north of the continent had been taken over. The world had learned about the deadly Shadow.

Still though, many chose to not believe it, and they continued to fight against each other.

Bliss seeing this knew she needed to do something urgently. Right now, she was too weak, but even with her strength, she was not enough to face against the Shadow. She looked at the crystal.

”If only there was some way to make you fight on our side.” But she knew that was near impossible. Sen had anger for the humans, even if she was to bring him back into a form of a human, it was unlikely he would fight for humanity sake.

During her time as an adventurer, she had discovered five brave men. None of them knew of her true identity and only thought of her as a strong adventurer. She had brought the men to the crystal claiming that it was a type of god.

Projecting voices into their heads, she made it seem as the crystal was speaking to them. She showed them visions of the future of what the world would look like if the Shadow was to get their way.
