Shaftistra fell asleep.

Although her instincts warned her of the intruder's movements, she was confident enough not to be driven to lie down by exhaustion. She was confident in the victory that was within reach, and convinced that those who tried to stand in the way of the triumphant song would either be destroyed at once or would surrender to her.

She tossed and turned, and would sleep and sleep, and would wake up and sleep. It's become a habit for her, and it's no surprise. Because there had been hundreds of years when she hadn't even closed her eyes.

Theystra didn't care what other creatures thought, not even the other black dragons, which wasn't too normal for a dragon. However, in her ideal world, only she and her children would have the right to live.

She remained in her dragon form, sleeping in a cavern so deep - deeper than any of the previous caves used to make yàn - that she lay on a stone bed, deep in her slumber.

Here, nothing can bother her.

Here, she could feel the voice in her head grow clearer and clearer. The voice kept whispering: one qiē was going according to plan, one qiē was one qiē, and Dragonax was getting more and more powerful...... The next generation will be more flexible than him...... At the same time, powerful, a thousand times ......

"A thousandfold ......," Icestra whispered dreamily, "a thousandfold ......"

They have a thousandfold power...... This will put an end to all other dragons...... The age of dragons is gone, and twilight is coming...... And then the night......

"Night of the Dragon......

But the nightclub is replaced by a new day...... A new day that will be ruled by her children...... It will be a new day for the dragons to enter the golden age......

"A brand new ...... The Golden Age—"

Sinistra was suddenly awakened, her eyes opening instantly, anger spreading from her face.

"Clay Ostraz!" The black dragon roared. She slammed to her feet. "But how could he be—and could be?"

Strangely, however, Nessterra's expression changed strangely. She looked satisfied, replacing the shock, anger, and ferocity that had just looked.

"Yes...... That's great...... How delicious...... Thank you, Claostraz...... Thank you ......."

With a hint of a smile, she quickly went to find Zendari......

At the same moment, another dragon, who had been convinced that he was going to die, woke up. He wasn't Clyostraz, he was the blue dragon. Karek.

At first, he realized that he had not died after that qiē. Still, there was a kind of darkness that hung over him. This darkness made him feel almost in a ...... Evil ways...... In the lingering breath.

It was only then that Karek remembered what had happened to him before he passed out. He remembered the cave they had used to hide the corpses of the dragonmen. Found that the hole did not look like it was empty.

It's not empty......

Karek tried to summon his sword, and the blue weapon vaguely took shape, but only a vague outline emerged. In the next second, it was gone.

"Ten million...... Don't ......"

Every word made Karek fearful. Although he wasn't the first creature to come up with the idea. Once again, the blue dragon tried to summon his sword, but this time, nothing reappeared.

"Don't ...... like that," the voice repeated, "...... She'll find out ......"

She, no doubt the only one mentioned in this voice was Synestella.

"Y-who are you?" Finally, Karek asked.

"I'm her child......"

"Where are you, let me see you!"

"I'm right in front of you......" There was a dark purple crystal-like shadow that shimmered. Karek stared at the massive thing, which had the same silhouette as a dragon, but it didn't look exactly solid, it seemed to be flowing. It was similar in some ways to the Void Dragon he knew, but it was certainly more than that. A pair of twinkling eyes looked at him at the same time. Karek suddenly felt. Those eyes had been paying attention to him since he was unconscious, and the thought sent chills down his body.

"What are you?" He asked.

"Her child ......"

Karek frowned. He wasn't sure if the looming creature was as immature as he sounded, or if it was just playing with him.

He decided to make a new attempt.

"Do you have a name?"

After a short pause, "I have a name...... She called me Dragonax......"

"Dragonax?" Karek's wariness rose sharply. He knew what the name meant in the dragon language.

Dlagonax...... Devourer......

"Do you like the name?" The dark thing asked, "I like it." ”

"It's a ...... Powerful name. ”

"It means 'devourer' in dragon language...... That's what she said," added Dragonax, shattering his hope that the thing might not understand the evil meaning of his name.

"You're a dragon......"

Karaek secretly managed to summon a magic sword, or whatever weapon he could use against the monster. Now the blue dragon knows. He was tricked.

"I'm a dragon too......" Dragonax shifted forward, the shadows fading a bit, just enough for Karek to be sure it was a dragon, but not a Void Dragon.

Dragonax is stronger than the Void Dragon. It's too powerful.

But the mysterious dragon did not fully reveal itself. Instead, he took a few steps back, making himself appear more like a shadow. Karek didn't know if it was because of some of his abilities, some spells, or the effects of the cave's traps, because the energy that flowed around them. Although it is not directly linked to Dragonax...... But Dragonax's actions were indeed influenced by them.

Karek wondered if Sinesstra really understood what she was raising in this cave.

He has been tempering himself for the dream that will belong to him in the near future.

"Yes, we are all dragons. ”

"Then we're friends......"

This surprised the blue dragon, and he couldn't find a reason why Dragonax needed his help. Of course, it might have been better for him to swallow Karek alive, and it would be a breeze for him: for at the moment he couldn't turn back into a dragon, and he couldn't use the magic he was born with. He'd secretly tried several times, all of them failing. So, the only explanation for his failure is that his nihilistic companions did good deeds.

Karek found that Dragonax must have been only a few days, or at most weeks.

How terrible would it be if he continued to grow? But does he need to grow again? The monster looks like it's big.

Crassus had warned Karek not to try to deal with the Blood Elf, and had definitely stressed not to do so here. But Blue Dragon felt that he had no choice.

Dragonax trapped him in this place, and the only reason why he didn't devour Karek was that he was fed up by the dragonmen. Since there was no trace of a dragonman's corpse in a circle around it, it was the only place where Carré could help him.

But he hasn't answered the question yet.

"Yes," the blue dragon finally replied, "we should be friends." ”

"Good...... Good...... Friends, you should help your friends. Right?"

A creature that could not have lived outside the cave, Dragonax knew everything about life. Apparently Shaftisterra did something terrible.

"Friends help friends," he nodded, "yes, help each other." ”

"So they will—" Dragonax paused. Then, to Karek's consternation, his voice came to his mind:

Here she comes!

Don't talk, don't move!

Though he was amazed that Dragonax had the ability to speak to him with his thoughts, Karek hadn't thought of obeying him, and there was no need to know who he was talking about her. After Avena's death, Karek has become reckless about his life, but he still holds on to his sense of responsibility. If Hindestra knew that he was still alive, he would not be able to fulfill his duty to serve Malygos. The blue dragon leaned against the wall, trying to summon the shield he had made earlier.

Still, nothing happened.

And then. He felt something like wings covering him. Karek was shrouded in shadows...... There is also a slight light of amethyst.

Almost instantaneously later, he heard Shaftastra...... There is another voice.

"He's gone," she whispered to her partner.

"Your old friend?" The voice sounded like the Blood Elf's "Escaped from the Crysalen's Box?" how could that be, unless, his companion survived. Maybe he let the other one go. ”

Karek torn between anxiety and hope, and he hoped for an answer. However, he guessed they were talking about Crassus, which meant that the red dragon might have escaped from a place called the Crate of Kressalon. That could have been better, but now Zeendari had misled Sinistra into believing she was still alive.

"Dragonax had a feast there," Nessestra replied. The question in her thoughts seemed to have a clue, "Also, the box was destroyed from the inside. ”

"I've never heard of anyone with this ability! How did he do it?"

"He is who he is, he can accomplish the impossible! He doesn't make mistakes. O my Zendari; That's one of the reasons I'm worried. ”

"But you didn't get him here. ”

"He's coming," she corrected, "he'll be, he's coming." That's his character. I think the best way to deal with it is to let him come over on his own, in the way I want it to be. ”

She paused. "If I had known he was still alive, he would have been a lot weaker, and he might have fled to the bottom. He knew he should go there. I want you to send your men in him-"

"I'll do it, ma'am, unless the damn brute didn't carry out the orders I had given in time! The last time I sent it, that guy was already near the Void Dragon, but then it didn't do anything. ”

Hindstra let out a long, annoyed roar, "Damn! Clyostraz must have slipped away to save the Void Dragons!

Karek didn't hear the Blood Elf leave, but thought he should listen to her if he was smart enough.

The blue dragon was about to speak, but he sensed that his companion who was empty didn't want him to do so.

"My sweetheart...... baby" This way of speaking made the blue dragon shiver. Sinestra's anger had long since turned into a terrifying self-confidence, as if she had changed as a different person.

"Come here, my sweetheart baby......"

Dragonax moved forward, but still kept his ethereal body between Karek and the Dark Lady.

"Female-......"

Dragonax's tone changed suddenly, and Karek was taken aback, just as he was surprised by the strangeness of Sinestra. This guy sounds very naïve and very immature.

Very non-threatening?

"My Dlagonax...... The Dawn of My New World...... What do you want to say to your mom?

"Hungry—"

Sinestella smiled, "Of course, you're hungry. But don't worry, baby. You'll be full in no time, the fullest, the fullest, oh yes...... But then you have to learn to go on a diet, because it won't be long before there will be a lot of siblings to be fed. ”

Lots of brothers and sisters. Karek wondered what it would be like if there were dozens, if not hundreds, of Dragonax.

What will become of Azeroth then? He suspects that the newborn dragons will be even more chaotic than the two dragons he and his companions had fought before. Even if they can be defeated in the end, how much death and ruin will they bring to the world before they are victorious?

Karek couldn't help but think of the sacrifices Anvina made to rebuild the world. And when more of these dragons hatch, that's when those efforts are in vain.

He recalls the brief conversation he had with Crassus and Elidi shortly after the war. (To be continued.) )
