Chapter 16 - 16 (1/2)
/ In the cave
Shin had just awakened from his sleep. He was awakened by the song of the birds in the cave.
He got up from his bed of leaves and stretched his limbs totally refreshed and light after a good night's rest.
His body was in top shape and at its physical peak, a minimum for the day of action he was about to have.
He quickly took a bath that lasted only a few minutes, overly excited about his first fight.
He had noticed that his behaviour in combat had become different. Before, he would surely have had the apprehension and fear of fighting dragons.
But now he was more excited than ever for his first fight, his blood was boiling and his heart was beating fast. His whole body was ready and waiting for the experience of a first fight.
Shin didn't think it was a good thing that his behavior and view of fighting had changed.
He was sure that he could protect his loved ones without any ulterior motive to run away or anything else and then, with his goal of becoming a God, he had to fight in any case, so if he was fearful and cowardly, that would have been a problem.
With a smile and eyes thirsty for battle, he hastened to the exit of the cave and lowered his position to give a powerful kick and bring out his wings of fire to fly to the battlefield.
During his flight, Shin concentrated his magic and his senses to spread them over a perimeter of several tens of kilometers.
As his magic and senses spread, he ended up smelling a large number of living beings in the same place.
But there were great differences between the living beings that felt.
Some possessed great magical power and great life energy compared to others who possessed a great magic power and a lousy life energy next to it.
I guess those with great magical power and life energy are dragons while the others are humans.
Shin had come to this conclusion since at the time he was, having a gathering of this magnitude and a side with great magical power like this, it could only be dragons and humans.
On top of all this, the smell coming from the place where he smelled the living beings was a putrid and foul stench that was not pleasant to smell.
A smell that could only be given off by hundreds of corpses accumulated in the same place. If it was the old Shin, he would surely have fainted just from the smell but he was different now, his training, strength and power gave him an all-round mind.
In any case, this smell did not stop Shin from continuing on his way to the battlefield. The magical power he felt there was not strong enough to scare him or put him on his guard.
He had to remain cautious and never underestimate his opponent, especially since he was going to be outnumbered.
All the time Shin had been thinking about this, he finally arrived on the battlefield.
Shin hid his magical power to hide his presence, he had learned it during his week of training thinking it would always be useful.
In the sky with his majestic wings and high enough not to be seen by humans and dragons, he finally got a glimpse of the battlefield.
The earth was completely dry, dehydrated and dead. The fights and attacks of the dragons destroyed the landscape, the vegetation was nowhere even a small grass was visible only half destroyed hills, dragon-sized craters, smoke and embers reigned the sky. A sky devoid of sunshine, a land lit only by the flames of dragons and fed by the blood of humans and dragons.
A scene of breathtaking violence and atrocity. You would never think to see this kind of thing in an anime and it was even more impressive in real life.
Honestly Shin was sure that even in the first and second world war on his old one, you couldn't see such shocking and terrifying scenes.
But he had a completely different view of this battlefield, or rather this hell.
”Aaaaah”
