It was a pity that the Balanced Scale was destroyed but the Red Dragon Queen was finally freed from its encroachment.
She still appeared weak and dispirited. Her giant body lumbered on the ground, her eyes half-closed. Seeing the two tiny ones before her, she sighed softly. “I’m sorry you have to see me like this.”
“It’s nothing, Your Majesty. Actually, I’m very impressed by your strong will!” Link said seriously. Probably only he knew the entire truth of what had just happened and he planned on keeping it that way.
Elin only knew a portion. She just thought that Link used magic to destroy the Sacred Gear. Link was powerful—that much was undeniable—but the destroyed Sacred Gear and the Red Dragon Queen who was tormented by it weren’t very impressive.
With that thought, she wasn’t as reverent of the queen as before. Her clever look came back. Pouting and opening her arms wide, she said dramatically, “Hmph, Your Majesty, you really scared me!”
Usually, the Red Dragon Queen would find this Yabba girl interesting but now, she was exhausted. She just sighed and said, “I’m sorry, my friend, but I want some peace and quiet.”
Isendilan’s betrayal, followed by Osiris’ betrayal, and death of Davosus all impacted her greatly. Right now, she just wanted to be alone.
Red Dragon elder Pettalong was the queen’s right-hand man. Hearing this, he immediately said, “I’m sure you all are tired as well. Let me take you to rest.”
Link and Elin obviously had no complaints. They followed Pettalong away.
The queen looked to the other dragons. “I’m alright now. I just want to rest.”
The dragons left quickly and soon, only Queen Gretel remained. She sprawled on the ground quietly without moving and suddenly sighed. “Isendilan, Osiris, and Davomos are all in the past now. Gretel, you’re the Red Dragon Queen. You must compose yourself!”
The three dukes were her husbands in name but in reality, they were only candidates. This was related to extending the royal bloodline.
Red Dragon bloodlines were very powerful. Amongst them, the royal bloodline was even more flawless. Once mature, the dragon would reach Legendary strength.
However, the world was fair. A great amount of time was needed to possess a perfect bloodline and great strength.
Regular high-level dragons would start reproducing at year 1000. However, the royalty had to wait until year 2000 before they were mature and able to search for a mate to bear the next Red Dragon Queen.
Gretel was 1990 years old this year. There were still ten more years before her body reached the perfect state and the peak of her power.
According to dragon tradition, the three most talented male dragons would automatically become dukes before this. Ten years later, the on that the queen liked the most would become her lifelong companion.
This meant nothing now.
But she was a huge beast that had lived almost two millenniums and was the leader of a race. She wouldn’t become heartbroken and depressed like a regular woman.
After sighing, Gretel accepted everything and moved on.
The Red Dragons needed a strong, persevering, and wise queen, not a weakling who would get hurt by these setbacks.
She shook her head and buried all the pain in her heart. She gazed at the remains of the Balanced Scale.
The Sacred Gear was shaped like a finely-made scale. One side was dark while the other end was light. Usually, the two sides would cancel each other out and be balanced. After Osiris messed with it, he sealed the light end, leaving only the dark end behind.
Gretel didn’t realize it and she fell into the trap when she checked it.
The Sacred Gear’s power was as immense as the sea. Even she couldn’t fight against it and almost died.
Reaching out a claw, she pulled at the remains. Her confusion grew. How can such a powerful Legendary Sacred Gear become damaged? Who made these fine scratches? The elders can’t do it and the younglings obviously can’t either. How strange.
The regular dragons might think that they worked together to destroy the Balanced Scale but it wasn’t so. If it was so easy to destroy, why would she be unable to escape from it?
Gretel thought long and hard to no avail but she had another solution. She raised a claw. A crystal red glow lit up at the tip and she pointed at the air lightly—Time Reverse.
Time Reverse
Level-15 Legendary Spell
Effect: Check all information from a period in the past. The stronger the user is, the wider the range and longer the duration.
(Note: an extraordinary time spell!)
The next moment, a projection appeared before the Red Dragon Queen’s eyes like a thin veil being pulled aside slowly. Figures appeared from within. All their movements were reversed. Advancing became retreating, getting up became lying down, and releasing power became collecting power. Everything that had just happened was shown again.
The charging Red Dragon Warriors who helped her push back the Dark power at all costs warmed Gretel’s heart. No matter what, she still had many loyal Warriors.
That wasn’t the main focus though. She continued searching for the reason why the Sacred Gear was destroyed.
The elders? She looked at all of them. They were all pushing back the Dark power with all their might and nothing was amiss. The regular Warriors? Like the elders, they had no time to do anything else. Who was left? There were still three people: the magic puppet, the Yabba, and the human Magician.
