Chapter 249: Return of Belize (1/2)
Hearing his words, Derik was stunned. He finally understood why the shadow dragons were reduced to such a pathetic level. Not only were they weakened but the other dragon clans never gave them the chance to recover! They are victims of circumstances and not the weaklings Derik expected them to be.
He assumed that the eggs on each of the structures harbored the injured ancestors of each clan but this one had the least aura. While the others had enough power of faith to heal their injuries, the shadow dragons were lacking in this aspect. It was only a matter of time before they disappear from existence!
”Now I understand... Allow me to apologize for overreacting earlier... I just find it irritating when weaker life forms are at the top of the food chain” Derik said calmly.
The fierce light in his eyes had died down and his body was no longer surrounded by his death aura. To the dragon ancestor, this can be considered a sign of goodwill. He is lowering his defense to prove he bears no ill intentions, unknown to him that wasn't what Derik felt. He simply let himself feel free because he saw no reason to keep releasing his aura. He didn't want to attract too much attention already.
”If the other ancestral dragons are as strong as it, then they should already know we are here... Beings at the demigod realm! We can't evade them so easily, especially since we caused a scene here” Lucien suddenly spoke up and Derik frowned.
He had this feeling at the back of his mind but tried to ignore it. He was a bit annoyed that Lucien said It out and Belize even nodded in agreement. They either leave now or fight!
”What do you plan to do?” Belize asked with a hint of curiosity in his tone. He wanted to know the type of person Derik is and that's why he only asks questions more and speaks little.
”No matter what my allegiance remains with the human race... Your invading force, alongside the other invaders heading to the central continent, will be wiped out by me... The only reason I am yet to make a move against you is my love for those with the dark elements, so this is a one-time offer... Join me and we will wipe out the competition and I will take you back to the central continent and give you a new home!” Derik said so easily, even Lucien was stunned.
Derik's confidence she speaking, even when others are involved can be considered as one of his most admirable traits. His actions exude unnatural confidence, one built through countless victories.
Hearing those words Belize kept gazing at Derik with a cold look in its eyes, it hated that fact it could not see through this persona and this made it even more exciting! It proves that Derik's power is as boundless as he expected even with the limitations placed by the world.
”Do I have a choice?” Belize said in a bitter tone.
If it doesn't join Derik, its clan will be wiped out eventually but joining Derik also means losing its freedom. It can only blame itself for being unlucky.
