Act VI: Dragon's Twilight

There was silence in the room for a few moments before Lawson reached out and removed one of the rings from his finger and spread it out in his palm.

Tahirya waved her hand slightly, and the ring floated and landed on her hand.

Rosen wasn't worried that Tahiria would do anything unfavorable to him, as a high-level mage of the Rainbow Tower, there was no need for him to take it by force like this, not to mention, if Tahiria really wanted to do something, no one present could stop him.

Picking up the ring and examining it carefully, Tahiria took a long time to put it down and return it to Rosen's hands.

Indeed, this is Destiny, the ring that the dragon bestows on humanity. ”

Tahiria let out a long sigh before speaking slowly and in a slightly sad tone.

"Do you know what kind of existence a dragon is?"

"What do you mean?"

Rosen didn't know what Tahiria was trying to say, he looked at the ring, and the light was reflecting a crystal light, which looked quite delicate, but it also revealed a bit of ancient weight.

"The dragon is the first creature of the goddess, the first administrator of the world, the guardian of order and law, but at the same time, it is also the oath bound by fate that has been destined from birth. ”

Tahiria said, her voice low and echoing through the room, as if to transport one into a time of turmoil, when dragons roared, demons were in turmoil, and blood and fire forged civilization in the wasteland.

"The dragon inheritance is different from mortals, relying on the bloodline inheritance, everything starts from the first dragon, engraved in the bloodline of all dragons, as long as the dragon awakens the power, then this inheritance will also awaken, and at the same time become a shackle, restraining all the actions of the dragon. ”

Mortals are born weak, especially human beings, who can be easily crushed by anyone at birth, and in contrast, whether it is the Firut or the El, or even the elves, they are all superior races with power at birth.

"The existence of the dragon stems from an oath, which is the first dragon, the primordial dragon Bahamut, after being saved by the goddess, made an oath to protect the world. ”

Tahiria explained, revealing the secrets of the past.

"Wait, saved by the goddess, that is, the dragon is not a creation of the goddess?"

Rosen sensed the strangeness and asked.

"It's okay to say yes, it's okay to say no. ”

Answering plausibly, Tahiria continued.

"Bahamut is a void creature born from the Endless Void, in a sense the same kind as the people of Chaos, but a creature of law, advocating order, and being defeated in years of strife, relying on the protection of the goddess to survive, but in reality time is running out. ”

What he said is already an unsophisticated secret talk of the past, and I am afraid that if it were not for the bloodline inheritance, these stories would have long been annihilated in the dust of history.

"At that time, the goddess had just started a big war with the people of chaos, and most of the gods under her command had fallen, and it was when she was in urgent need of combat power, the goddess appreciated the power of Bahamut, so she reached a pact with her, the goddess would continue the descendants of the dragon, but Bahamut would also become a fighting force under the command of the goddess, forever guarding the world. ”

Speaking calmly, Tahiria held her face in one hand and recounted the history of the past.

"Then, the goddess used Bahamut as a model to create seven dragons, which were originally the dragons that belonged to the continent of Atlas, and one of these seven dragons was my father, the evil dragon Tiamat. Therefore, the dragon was not the original inhabitant of this world at the beginning, but the current dragon is a creature created by the goddess with Bahamut as a template, and it does belong to this world. ”

The original dragon also had the characteristics of a considerable degree of void creatures, although it had a strong resistance to the power of chaos, but once it was eroded, it would be much more serious than the normal order creation, and the evil dragon Tiamat, in a great war with the people of chaos, was eroded by the power of chaos, and finally became an evil dragon, wreaking havoc on the earth.

Tahiria explained that there were no details, but just such a plain description was enough to make Rosen and others think about the tragedy of the war that year.

"Most of the battles that the dragons participate in are in the endless void outside the crystal wall, because the original seven dragons basically have the power above the legendary level, and random battles are easy to lead to permanent changes in the law, yes, in the battle between order and chaos, the two sides use neither force nor magic, but the law, the people of chaos make the laws of the people of order collapse, and the people of order use the law to imprison the people of chaos, and the battle between the two sides makes many places in the endless void become dead fields that can never allow life to exist. ”

The battle he described was beyond Fina's imagination, and even Lawson and Liliana, who had already mastered the law, felt incomprehensible about such a battle that directly changed the law.

It's just that Rosen really feels how lucky he is, almost all of the Chaos People he has encountered so far are projections under the restraint, even in the Endless Abyss, there are Sages who suppress them, otherwise if he faces the Chaos People in their full form, no matter how many secret treasures he has, they will be wiped out in an instant.

"My father, the wounds on his body are not actually wounded by the people of Chaos, but the will of Bahamut engraved in the blood of our dragons. ”

That is to say...... Self-destructive?"

Rosen quickly figured out what that so-called oath meant.

"That's right, once the dragon is successfully eroded by the power of Chaos, then we, who can penetrate the crystal wall, will bring even more disaster to this world than the people of Chaos, so the oath in my father's body was immediately activated to try to obliterate him. ”

But as a result, no one expected that the evil dragon Tiamat would successfully suppress the chaotic power in his body and survive.

Because of this, the oath that flowed through Tiamat's blood was invalidated, and he became the only dragon who could ignore it.

However, in order to suppress the power of Chaos, Tiamat also fell into a long sleep, and the last heir born before his long sleep was Tahiria.

"This ring [Fate] is functioning through the bloodline contract, in addition to allowing the holder to have the power of the dragon, it can also be used as a price to allow any dragon to complete a commission. ”

Tahiria said, looking at Lawson.

"So, if you need any help, feel free to contact me, I'd be willing to offer strength in exchange for this ring. ”
