449 A Hero for a Damsel (1/2)
”What the hell is going on?”
”What is the meaning of this?”
”What...eldritch forces are those?”
At first, confusion broke out within the Sea Dream City, and a plethora of such inquiries unfurled. But when Wolfgang's voice rumbled, echoing with might that made Nihility Gods feel insignificant, and alarmed High Gods, chaos seized the scene, and all scattered in disarray, running for dear life!
*THUD* *THUD* *THUD*
A stampede of ten thousand legions trampled the Sea Dream city as all sought escape, paying no heed to the desolate beauty escape the clutches of her demonic oppressors at risk of life!
From the gate, a massive dragon tall of one-thousand meters with slit, icy-blue eyes and jet-black scales emerged, chthonian energies billowed, stretching throughout the Sea Dream city, and alarming all its experts!
Right now, only a few early-stage High Gods stood within the city, but none dared make a stand! The poor woman of glaring Mara heritage flew in desperation, but the chthonian dragon merely stretched out its claw, and instantaneously, all across three thousand kilometers were suppressed, unable to make another move!
The woman, Nehal, was no exception!
”I am the granddaughter of Lord Daksha, a direct descendant of the Sea Dream Temple! Someone, please help me!”
Nehal pleaded with her sorrowful voice stretching across hundreds of kilometers, and reaching the ears of all cowering gods. Alas, fearing the might of this incomprehensible reptile, and stunned by the sudden turn of events, none dared make a move!
Almost…
When they heard the four words ”granddaughter of Lord Daksha,” followed by ”direct descendant of the Sea Dream Temple,” the four High Gods currently residing in the Sea Dream City turned into dazzling magenta beams, and rushed to Nehal's rescue while having their disciples dispatching news to the Sea Dream Temple's headquarters!
Though the foe appeared dreadful, and its depth unknown, this was an opportunity, a once in a lifetime opportunity to gain the favor of the Sea Dream Temple's direct line! Moreover, a brief examination allowed them to see Nehal's bloodline level stood at the royal rank! If not a direct descendant, who could she be? And even in the improbable case she turned out to be a liar, defending Lord Daksha's Sea Dream City was in itself a grand merit!
In danger lay opportunity, opportunity they planned to harvest!
And as an irresistible force pulled Nehal toward the chthonian dragon, the four High Gods appeared to cut its path, break its spell, and protect the damsel in distress!
”Vile creature, regardless of where you hail from, by running amok in this land, you've signed your death warrant!
Today, no one can save you!”
The four High Gods proclaimed, and let their cultivation bases unfurl. But before that energy display that sent space cracks throughout the atmosphere, the chthonian dragon remained undaunted.
Worse, it burst into laughter! Guffawing in reckless abandon!
”HAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHA! FOOLS! HOW DARE YOU BLOCK THE PATH OF THIS DUKE? THIS DUKE CAN'T SPARE YOU!”
Wolfgang snarled, spread his gargantuan dragon wings and arched back his horned head as he opened his maw wide and flared his jagged fangs!
”INNATE SKILL: AUSPICIOUS CLOUDS!”
Wolfgang bellowed, causing rainbow-colored clouds to appear and swirl around his immense form! Following Konrad's absorption of so many bloodlines and subsequent tempering, the might of his Auspicious Clouds rose to unprecedented heights, slowly approaching that of the past Celestial Slaughter's.
