Chapter 52: Nightmare

After killing the Cyclops King, Lear announced that the party continued to march deeper into the woods, and no one who knew him well spoke, apparently they were already used to this kind of murderous routine, and knew that Lear would not give up until the Cyclops' nest was turned upside down.

The orcs were depressed by the loss of many of their companions, but the haze of death became less heavy when they moved a large amount of gold and crystals from the Cyclops' temporary lair, and Lear said that he would give a pension of ten gold coins to each of the fallen men.

Lear played with a silver helmet with strange goat's horns that he pulled out of the Cyclops' cave, and handed the unicorn helmet around his waist to Adra, but the latter refused on the grounds that he was ugly.

The crown of chaos, knowledge plus three, can finally say goodbye to this ugly and bulky unicorn steel helmet.

............

The night before returning to Sarabhutto, Lear had a long dream, he first stood on a desolate ruin, his eyes were full of devastation, no magic flow, no trees, no mountains, no traces of life, and then the landscape shook and he came to a magnificent battlefield again.

He stood in the middle of the battlefield and watched the knights rush through their illusory bodies towards their enemies, the golden horns of the sacred unicorns glowing brightly, the ghost dragons hovering in the sky, the golden dragons and black dragons fighting together, the archdemons and angels fighting, hoarse cries of despair everywhere, and then a light appeared above his head, leading him to an endless dark void.

"Here you are, my child. ”

A desolate voice sounded in his ears as if it had come from a mythical age, but it felt more like the other party was talking directly to his soul or heart.

"Can you stop pretending to be a ghost, I know who you are, Asha or Ogaz?"

Except for these two primordial dragons, Lear couldn't think of anyone who could directly invade his dream realm and bring himself here across a distant time and space, and the perception from a completely different world was destined for him not to have much awe of these two.

The voice didn't seem to expect Lear to be so direct for a moment, but then she let out a sigh.

"It's me, my name is Asha, the dragon of order. ”

"So you brought me into this world, why?"

Lear asked, expressionless.

He is still a little haunted by the fact that he was stripped of his soul without his own consent and forcibly dragged him into an unknown world, even if he is alive and well now.

"Yes, it's me, but there are some reasons for this, and please be patient, because I'll tell you next. ”

After saying this, Yasha was silent for a while, as if she was remembering something.

"Since you know Ogas, of course you know that he is my twin brother, and the war between me and him naturally does not need to be repeated, what I want to tell you is what happened after that. ”

The desolate voice echoed in the void, and despite how Asha managed to make the sound travel through the void, Lear had not noticed Asha's form until now, although he knew that even what appeared in front of him was just a magical illusion, but he still couldn't help but look around.

But Yasha clearly didn't want to care about his unreasonable actions.

"After the First World War, Ogas was defeated and imprisoned in the depths of Hell by me, and ten thousand years of hellfire and molten lava continued to erode its body and wash away its sins, but it created the demon race before it was sealed, and now they lurk under the land where you came, and I was forced to sleep in the moon because of my injuries, I think you should know this. ”

Lear nodded his head with no objections.

"But then something happened, because I was a twin with Ogas, and during the ten thousand years he was sealed, I don't know how to establish a soul bond with me, and every time I regained some power in the moon, half of it passed to him through the distant void, sometimes even more, which meant that every time I recovered a point, he would recover more at a faster rate. ”

There was a deep helplessness in Yasha's tone as she spoke these words.

"Then why don't you come out of the moon, or just fly straight to Hell to kill him?"

Lear asked curiously.

"If I could do this, I would have wiped him out in the primordial years, and our power was the same as the one that occupied the two sides of light and chaos, but that meant that no matter which of us was victorious, we could not kill the other completely, and my injuries were too severe, even though ten thousand years later, the little strength I had accumulated was not enough for me to return to Hell again. ”

Yasha explained.

"Aren't there five elemental dragons, why don't you send your disciples and grandchildren?"

Break the casserole and ask to the end.

"Their power comes from me, and how can they do what I can't do?"

The Order Dragon God was a little helpless.

"Then what can you do with me? I look like a weak chicken, don't talk about the elemental dragon, you can crush me to death with a red dragon and a green dragon of a great-great-great-grandson. ”

Lear spread his hands over his shoulders and shrugged his shoulders in disbelief.

"No, please don't belittle my child, you come from a different world than us, both wisdom and strength are another level of system, what I can't do, you can do, that's why I spent a lot of magic to pull you here from another world, even if Ogas can benefit from it, but I think it will be worth it in the end. ”

Yasha finally explains why Lear crossed over inexplicably.

"So that's why you just gave me a magic arrow and left me to fend for myself?"

Lear was very angry, and it was no wonder that wherever others crossed, they brought a gold finger gemstone necklace or a crystal glass bottle to cover the world, and this old dragon of order had to go to what extent he could bear to treat him like this.

"No, child, I have carefully selected a body for you, I have never seen a physique with such a high elemental affinity in ten thousand years, if it weren't for the fact that his soul is too weak, I would almost have chosen him as my voice on earth. ”

"If that's what you've picked carefully, then I think you've got a problem. ”

Lear raised his hands high, and the falling cuffs revealed a pair of thin arms, although a little better than the scrawny ones he had when he first crossed over, but definitely not as strong as strong, and it looked as if they would never be touched.

“......”

"Well, it was my mistake, but this body's terrifying affinity for the magical elements of the current world should more than make up for it. ”

Yasha didn't want to dwell on this issue.

"Ms. Ryujin, I don't think we can reach a consensus on this issue for the time being, because in my opinion, it is far from enough. ”

Lear said he had to dwell on it.

"If you were the soul of this elemental world I created, I could directly elevate you to the most powerful individual or even infinitely close to the elemental dragon I created, but that doesn't make any sense, because then you won't be able to defeat Ogas in the end. ”

Yasha sighed.

"Why should I go to defeat the Ugaz?"

Lear asked rhetorically, but the sharpness of the question clearly stumped the dragon of order, and a long, awkward silence ensued between one man and one dragon.

"That's... Ms. Ryujin, are you still there?"

After a while, Lear, who had waited for the impatience, finally broke the silence.

"As the party of justice, aren't you born with a responsibility to fight evil chaos?"

Yasha asked rhetorically.

"I'm very sorry that in my eyes there has never been a distinction between absolute justice and absolute evil, justice will always triumph over evil, of course, you defeat Ogaz, you are justice, and then hold high the banner of justice to slaughter his descendants, no one will say anything about you, if Ogas defeated you, then Ugas is justice, when he cleanses your descendants, what is the difference between what you let his descendants suffer?"

Mouth cannon, you are the dragon god of order, I am not worthy.

"Isn't it enough that the chaos that Ogas has brought to this world, the flames of war, the hearts dominated by evil desires?"

Yasha retorted vigorously.

"Then may I ask Lord Ryujin, in this world ruled by your will, have these things that you hated ever stopped in the past ten thousand years? As far as I know, during this time, except for the undead legion and the underground lords who are also under the control of the black dragon, one of your descendants, the descendants of Ogas have not been directly involved. And the most powerful creature in the cemetery, the Ghost Dragon, is technically your descendant. ”

Lear didn't budge.

Then there was another long silence.

"What should the world look like in your eyes?"

When Yasha's voice sounded again, Lear could clearly feel the exhaustion in it.

"Deal. ”

Lear said.

"Whether it is war or peace, justice or evil, it is all a transaction or the evil result of a failed transaction, the desire of living beings cannot be controlled, even if you are the creator of this world, the essence of desire is possession, and to achieve the purpose of possession is nothing more than two means, trade or plunder, if the transaction is successful, it is peace, everyone is happy, if the transaction fails, it is plunder, and plunder is evil, it is war. ”

“......”

"I never thought the world I created would be so cold, but now it seems that maybe you're right. ”

After a pause, Yasha continued: "But no matter what, I will not let Ogas and his descendants destroy this world again, but now it seems that you will no longer help me." ”

"No, you're wrong again, as I just said, everything in this world is a transaction, and it's up to you what path I choose in the end. ”

Finally to the point, in fact, all the things I said earlier are to pave the way for this sentence, and Lear has actually been thinking about it all the time, what if Yasha provokes a thunderbolt and kills him, but fortunately, what he was worried about didn't happen in the end.

"What do you want?"

Yasha asked.

"Then it depends on what you can give me. ”

Lear's face was solemn, but in fact, his heart had already bloomed into a sea of flowers.
