Chapter 42 - Chap 42 (1/2)

In the sky, a large and majestic bird was moving at high speed.

It was of great beauty and just wanted to admire it and prayed to it.​​

However, at that moment, and despite appearances, the aura that emanated from it was a sign of the opposite.

From a closer perspective, the bird, which was a Phoenix, exuded an oppressive and murderous aura.

Any person or creature too weak and close to it would be sent to hell or even killed.

Its eyes were icy and overflowing with anger and contempt.

The dragon's actions were, for Shin, despicable.

For a dragon, his pride had fallen very low to do this kind of thing to weak humans.

In his former life, he had learned to respect life, he already had some understanding of right and wrong and had a great appreciation for peace and ”justice”.

And with his new position as ”God of Life”, his sense and respect grew.

Although he respects the lives of others, he has recently learned to withdraw it if necessary.

\ In a cave located in a mountain /

At the far end of this cave, a large silhouette could be seen.

There was nothing human but rather reptilian.

The only thing that could be distinguished in the complete darkness was the smoke that appeared in a repetitive period.

Accompanied by this smoke came a blast so strong that it could blow away several trees at its sole contact.

This breath was like a violent storm, yet it was only the nasal breath of the sleeping dragon.

The dragon of Despair, a very powerful dragon that was inferior only to Acnologia, Igneel or other exceptions.

As he slept peacefully and carefree, bloodthirsty violet eyes opened and appeared in that darkness.

The pressure, the aura of death around him and those violet eyes in the darkness gave the dragon an evil and sinister image.

Most people would feel despair at the mere sight or mention of it.

Here is one worthy of its title.

”Who does this aura come from? I don't know.”

The voice resonated throughout the entire cave and seemed to come straight out of the underworld.

*CROAAAR*

--------------------------------

Shin finally arrived at his destination and with what he saw, he was sure he was in the right place.

In front of him was a black mountain, devoid of vegetation and color.

Everything around the mountain seemed to be corrupt to the root.

The corruption only stopped within a radius of a few dozen meters around the mountain.

The difference was visible with the demarcation on the ground.

On one side of this demarcation there was a large, beautiful and lush forest and on the other side was a forest and mountain torn from all life.

Hovering in the sky and looking at this landscape, Shin extended his Life Energy forward to propagate it into the dead zone and revive it.

Only, when his energy was ready to enter the dead zone, it was stopped by a foul, dead aura.

The Life Energy continued to push this aura forward with ease to make its way through until the aura suddenly intensified.

”Who dares?!”

A powerful and angry voice was heard coming from the mountain.

Shin retracted his Life Energy and squinted his eyes towards the person who had appeared.

Towards the top of the mountain, in front of the cave entrance, a great dragon appeared.

It had black scales as dark as night, large sharp thorns were present on almost all of its body and eyes, the lower part of its belly and part of its wings were colored purple.

The dragon looked at the creature in front of him and then squinted his eyes, surprised to see who it was.

” Celestial Phoenix...” mumbled the dragon, but his voice was strong enough to be heard by Shin who was hundreds of meters away.

Seeing the appearance of the creature in front of him and the aura it gave off, he had guessed who it was.
