Chapter 150 - 52
The disturbance caused by the appearance of the Nine-Headed Imperial Dragon was not only in the Elven Kingdom. One of the kingdoms also affected was the Dwarven Kingdom that the academy people visited on a study tour.
The redevelopment of the Dwarven Kingdom's capital is currently still in progress. In a magnificent and luxurious tent, King Auva sat in his chair and heard the report from his son, Prince Torin. Besides the two of them, there was also Princess Melkia in that place.
"How's your investigation going, Torin? What happened?" King Auva asked about the roar that sounded in the sky of the demi-human region. If it were just an ordinary roar, he would ignore it. But the roar he had heard frightened him and rendered his body powerless. Many of the residents of the Dwarven Kingdom also fainted upon hearing that.
"After doing some investigation, we can only conclude that the roar was heard from the territory of the Elven Kingdom. We still don't know what kind of creature can give off a roar with such effect." Prince Torin smiled bitterly and gave the report he had received from his men.
"How could you not know? You have to find the cause no matter what. Even if you have to break through to the territory of the Elven Kingdom, you can use a reconnaissance golem to do that." King Auva frowned upon hearing the report from his son. He would still not calm down if he still hadn't found the cause.
"That's not the case, father. I've done what you said earlier, but the problem is that we can't get close to the territory of the Elf Kingdom because there is a barrier blocking us. This barrier is the same as the one that divides the humans and demi-humans region right now." Prince Torin explained the continuation of his previous report.
"What exactly is going on there? Didn't Queen Jasmine previously ask about Princess Cattleya and also the people from the academy? Does this have anything to do with them?" King Auva lowered his head and muttered. He guessed the cause of this incident. After thinking for a while, he saw Prince Torin in front of him.
"You should keep investigating this matter. Place some soldiers and golems around the barrier. If the barrier disappears, report it to me immediately. You can also directly investigate that place. But remember, you have to be very careful. Don't let the elves find us. Do you understand?" King Auva gave new orders to Prince Torin.
"I understand!" Prince Torin nodded slightly and left the place.
After Prince Torin came out, the only people left in the tent were King Auva and his daughter, Princess Melkia.
"What do you think, Melkia?" King Auva asked Princess Melkia, who was sitting not far from him. She had just been silent since Prince Torin came and reported the results of his investigation.
"I suspect this matter has something to do with the people from the academy, although I'm not sure about that. Didn't you say that Queen Jasmine asked the location of their whereabouts before?" Princess Melkia gave her opinion.
"Hmm… what you said is the same as the conjecture in my mind. Hopefully, this doesn't affect the demi-humans region. We've been busy with the problems that have occurred in this kingdom, and I hope that there won't be another problem that will make things worse in the future." King Auva sighed heavily and massaged his forehead with his hand. He looked tired from all the troubles that had happened recently. These few days, he was focused on rebuilding the royal capital and other problems.
"I hope so too, father." Princess Melkia felt lonely when their conversation touched on academy people. She made many friends her age, but they suddenly left her after the previous incident. She had to admit that it was her father's fault, and she had to share the responsibility.
"You can leave now." King Auva felt guilty when he saw Princess Melkia's face suddenly turn gloomy. He knew what she was feeling right now. So he decided not to discuss the matter any further.
"Yes, father." Princess Melkia bowed slightly to King Auva and left the tent. After confirming that Princess Melkia had come out, King Auva let out a heavy sigh once more and leaned back weakly in his chair.

In the hall of a majestic temple, a white and a golden statue stood opposite each other. They had an impromptu meeting due to the events that had just occurred in the demi-human territory. Their meeting was postponed because the silver statue had not yet revealed himself.
"Do we still have to wait for him? I thought maybe he died somewhere." The golden statue complained to the silver statue.
"We'll wait a little longer. I also don't know how he is now. The barrier in the Elven Kingdom cut off all my connections with him. So I don't know if he's alive or dead." The white statue answered flatly.
"I still have things to do. Can you explain the point of this impromptu meeting? You can explain it to him again when he comes." The golden statue spoke lazily. Apart from that, he still had a mission to complete. He didn't want to waste his time just waiting for the silver statue.
"Alright. I just wanted to warn you, don't approach the elven kingdom for now. The guardian of the continent that I talked about before had appeared there. So you better listen to my words." The white statue said earnestly to the golden statue.
"The guardian of the continent was the one who made the roar earlier? I could barely stand after hearing that." The golden statue said it jokingly.
"Fornius, don't even try to approach that monster. We can't provoke him at this time. I wanted to get information about the guardian of the continent. Although we have been on this continent for hundreds of years, we have very little information about these creatures. I also don't know why that creature could appear at this time. I suspect it has something to do with Crossel." The white statue explains further.
"I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll go first because I still have a business to do." The golden statue seemed to be in a hurry to leave the place.
"Yes. You can go." The white statue answered curtly.
The golden statue immediately left the place without saying anything else. Not long after the golden statue was gone, the figure of a girl with long white hair appeared in the temple hall. The girl walked gracefully towards the white statue. Her face was distorted so that others could not see it.
"Are you coming, Miss?" The white statue greeted the girl politely.
"Yes. Have you told him yet?" The girl asked without looking at the white statue. Her eyes keep roaming the temple hall.
"I already warned him. What brought you to this place, Miss? This is your first time coming to this place." The white statue asked the girl. The girl had never had the slightest interest in the 'God Domain' organization all this time.
"Nothing in particular. I'm just bored. Coincidentally, the guardian of the continent appeared. I wonder why that creature appeared at this time. That monster didn't even appear when my brother invaded this world. So, Aghares. I want you to find out why." The girl gave an order to the white statue. Seeing the attitude of the white statue that was very polite to her, she had a much higher position and power than him.
"I understand, Miss Azalia." The white statue answered firmly, and the girl disappeared from the place.

Ziel charged forward to attack the dragon with full force. The nine-headed imperial dragon noticed the appearance of Ziel. The eyes of the red dragon and green dragon shone.
[Black Flame Tornado]
The gigantic black flame tornado came to attack Ziel first. This attack couldn't be compared to any fire tornado that had ever existed. Apart from the black flames that could scorch anything it touched, there were blades of black wind that would tear its target apart.
[Thunder Beam]
Ziel countered the attack with a laser beam of the same size. He usually used his fingers to fire those attacks, but he used his palms this time. Ziel's and dragon's attacks clashed.
Boooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
An enormous explosion along with a violent shockwave occurred in the sky. This is the beginning of their fight. Ziel continued to advance towards the dragon at supersonic speed. The eyes of the red dragon and brown dragon shone.
[Golden Lava Wave]
Waves of hot gold-colored lava made of molten metal covered Ziel's path. He felt an intense heat just by approaching it.
[Orbit Slash]
Ziel cut through the lava wave and slipped through the gap he created. He was already close to the dragon. Ziel slashed his sword at the red dragon's head.
Roooooooooooooaaaaaarrrrrrr!
Ziel retreated after landing the attack on the red dragon's head as the blue dragon's head took a bite attack where he had been standing before.
"I slashed it with full power but can only deal such a shallow wound?" Ziel looked at the wound he gave the red dragon's head. The damage from his attack was minimal and healed instantly. Ziel frowned upon seeing it. He had to quickly cut off the dragon's head to inflict serious injuries.
Ziel charged forward to attack the dragon again. This time he intended to cut off one of the dragon's heads in one fell swoop. The eyes of the blue and green dragon head shone.
[Green Water beam]
The dragon fired a high-speed water laser beam at Ziel. The dragon seemed to have predicted what Ziel would do and didn't let him get close to it. The red and yellow dragon eyes shone.
[Meteor Impact]
Dozens of large chunks of the earth burned by fire fell from the sky towards Ziel.
Ziel frowned upon seeing the dragon fire two attacks simultaneously at him. He dodged the high-speed water beam by a thin margin and slashed his white sword at the dozens of meteors that were aiming at him.
[Space Banishment]
The dozens of meteors were swallowed up by the space rips and disappeared. But the dragon attack wasn't finished yet. Ziel suddenly saw the wagging tail of the dragon was in front of his eyes.
Booooommmmmmmmmm!
"Ugh!" Ziel was blown away dozens of meters, but luckily he didn't get any severe injuries. He reduced the attack's impact to keep him from being thrown very far and quickly closed the distance back with the dragon.
The black dragon's eyes glowed.
[Absolute Darkness]
Suddenly the space around Ziel darkens. He was trapped inside a giant ball of darkness. Not only was Ziel unable to see, but all of his senses were malfunctioning at the moment.
"Aaahhhhhhh!" Ziel didn't panic when he realized that. He released his mana, aura, and spirit power to dispel the darkness that enveloped him.
The white dragon's eyes shone.
[Lightning Bombardment]
But when the darkness dissipated, But when the darkness dissipated, what awaited Ziel was a shower of light beams from the sky that rained down on him.
Ziel dodged it with minimal movement as he moved closer to the imperial dragon. One of the light beams was approaching him at high speed, and he couldn't dodge. The spirit circle gears that floated behind him moved. Time stopped one second around Ziel and was enough to avoid the attack.
After Ziel managed to escape the attack, The silver and gold dragon eyes shone.
[Time and Space Prison]
Ziel felt the time around him suddenly stop. He felt his body freeze and couldn't even move his fingertips. Moreover, the space around him seemed to be pinching him from all directions.
The eyes of the Nine imperial dragon heads shone. They opened their mouths at the same time. Energy gathered in each of the dragon's mouths.
[Ultimate Dragon Breath]
The nine dragon heads shot out dragon breaths simultaneously. Each dragon breath possessed the power of a true god. The nine dragon breaths merged into one and shot towards Ziel, who could not move at the moment.
Ziel's face became grave after feeling how powerful the attack was. Even though he can't move, his brain can still work. Right now, he only had the option of resisting the attack.
[Impenetrable Fortress]
The grey light particles scattered and began to merge one after another. After that, a giant grey fortress formed in front of Ziel. Dragon breath that shot out with incredible speed and power clashed against the fortress. But it didn't last long, the fort began to crack and then shattered into pieces. The dragon's breath's power didn't decrease and hit Ziel heavily.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!
