Chapter 195 - Legacy of the Dragon Tribes 1 (1/2)
As they were called the strongest creatures of the continent, they did not live in groups and it was easy for them to defend themselves on their own.
There were a few of them who transformed into other species and travelled the world, but...
“I didn’t think they would all flock to the Erendia Kingdom.”
Since it had been destroyed for ages, it was like an empty mountain that would be perfect for their lair.
Woohyuk had thought that the dragons would return to their past lairs after returning to the continent.
But the Sky Island of the Erendia Kingdom was just that appealing to them that they all coveted it.
“It must be because it fits their tastes. An island that floats in the sky must be perfect for flying dragons. Besides, the island is quite large and has some mountainous regions.”
The mainland of the Erendia Kingdom was as vast as England or Japan on Earth.
For this reason, the heads of the nine dragon tribes, excluding Drakia, were gathered on the island to debate over the sovereignty of the Erendia Kingdom.
“I didn’t know that the dragon tribes also fought between each other. Since they’re a race that values order, I thought they would be reasonable.”
“Didn’t the Prophetic Book talk about them? It seems there were a lot more missing contents than I thought.”
“… In truth, a lot of the stories were more symbolic than anything. But its contents are sufficient to change the future in a desirable direction.”
At the very least, Eteria Rodinus believed that.
Helena looked up at the sky, thinking of the members who were doing their best around the continent.
Currently, Woohyuk's party was headed to Inotia, the City of Magic-Engineering, while riding on top of Drakia.
The eight heads of the dragon tribes were gathered in front of Neustein Castle and disputing.
“We’re almost there. I can see the Sky Island over there.”
Brynhild pointed forward with her finger.
Then Roan expressed in surprise and joy.
”Woah! It looks like Valhalla in the heavenly world!”
In his head, he recalled the apprentice valkyries who served the dead heroes, and the finest alcohol he had tasted.
Brynhild sternly admonished Roan as if she had read his mind.
“There are no liquor and girls over there. And even if there were some, you better act carefully because your master won’t punch you once only this time either.”
“Aaaaah! Roan doesn't want to get hit!”
Roan cried as he recalled the memory of Woohyuk beating him.
Drakia sighed as he watched their interactions.
'The more I watch them, the more surprising it is.'
He was working with them because of Joanna, but the group’s members were really odd.
Drakia couldn't understand why Woohyuk was taking him to the place where the heads of the dragon tribes had gathered.
'But I should believe in the future shown to me by the Goddesses of Fate.'
The first catastrophe, the Advent of the Fallen Angel Cruella.
To stop it, he would have to clear the Epic Quest involving the dragon tribes, and the dragon tribes had to give him appropriate assistance according to the ancient covenant.
Moreover, before beginning the Epic Quest, the heads would give him trials to figure out his abilities and qualities.
Drakia flapped his wings more vigorously as his excitement to watch Woohyuk’s true abilities grew.
When they arrived at the destination, they saw various races gathering together and chatting.
All of them were dragons, but because they had to hold a meeting with many members, they had transformed into their preferred forms for convenience’s sake.
Woohyuk's party descended from Drakia's back and headed straight to the heads of the dragon tribes.
“Who are you! Only dragons can participate in this meeting!”
“There is a demon among them. Along with the forbidden weapon Homunculus...”
“But there is also a Saint and a Valkyrie. This is such a bizarre combination of people.”
“We must inform the elder first!”
The dragons showed hostility and blocked Woohyuk's path.
Drakia then stood before them and overpowered them with his spirit.
“Get out of the way. They are my guests.”
“Bl, Black Dragon King Drakia...!”
“Are the black dragons also aiming for this island?!”
The heads of the dragon tribes were granted power from the Creator, so a few ordinary dragons could not stop a single tribe head.
As the crowd of dragons split in half and created a path as if Moses had appeared, Woohyuk grinned in amusement.
'I didn't think I would meet them again like this.'
In the past, he had subdued the nine dragon tribes by force.
It was only possible because he had the help of excellent vassals.
But this time, they weren't with him, and even if Woohyuk had brought them along today, they would still be lacking in skills.
Moreover, many contents of the Epic Quest needed to be done on his own.
'But there’s no need to feel overwhelmed by the dragons.'
The present Woohyuk was very different to the past life’s Woohyuk.
Even if his overall stats fell behind a little, he had gained a power that could offset it.
Therefore, he had to finish the Epic Quest as quickly as possible.
He had to go find the King's Book in the Enoa Kingdom, as it was necessary to defeat Rosenkreuz, who had almost uncovered the secrets of Rosa Eterna.
The return of the dragon tribes would be a new variable.
Other forces would be confused for a while, but it also meant that the future was less predictable now compared to before.
Before long, Woohyuk’s group reached the location where the heads of the dragon tribes had gathered.
Drakia then spoke first.
”We returned to prevent a catastrophe, but here you are, fighting for territory. You lot are pathetic.”
“I don't think you have the right to say that, Drakia. Who was the dragon who wrecked havoc in a small kingdom because of one human woman?”
Estina, the Red Dragon King, condemned him as if she had expected Drakia's ridicule.
She had begun to lead the Red Dragon tribe, succeeding Arcana who had died during the War of Gods and Demons.
“But why did you bring them? The composition is also very grotesque. If you have no convincing reason, that demon and Homunculus will die under my hands right now.”
