Chapter 875 – Batwing Dragon
“Commander, we’ve just received affirmative news from Great King City. With Blue Torrent as the leader, the entire squad of 12 fallen humans has been completely killed off. And buried with them was almost the entire 30,000 strong legion of black-armored obams controlled by the Aurora Family. This is a further detailing of the information!”
A long boat rushed through the turbulence of space. A Light Guard fell to his knees, presenting the message he received.
Silent Light’s complexion changed. “What did you say?” He took the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense. Moments later, he laid it back down. He had an expression on his face that was half crying and half smiling.
If this news had been confirmed then it wouldn't be wrong…he died…Blue Torrent had actually died…he had died like this…
At this time, Silent Light didn’t feel any joy or ecstasy from having his great enmity avenged. All he felt was an emptiness and weariness rising up in his heart.
For hundreds of years he had been thinking of revenge. For this reason he had paid a deep price, and the moment he had imagined countless times had come…
Finally, Blue Torrent had died! He had died like this!
“Commander?” The Light Guard asked.
Silent Light took a deep breath. “I’m fine.”
The Light Guard hesitated for a moment, “The reason we entered the territory of the obams was to fulfill our mission of killing Blue Torrent. Now that he is dead, the mission is automatically canceled. Commander, do we need to return?”
“No.” Silent Light dismissively waved his hand. He thought for a moment and then said, “Blue Torrent was killed. With how important he was, the obams will never give up here. The mysterious hidden powerhouse in the Little Sweet Mountains will suffer an even greater danger. We need to rescue him and bring him back to the human world.”
“Commander, if our goal has changed then we need authorization from the Council of Elders.”
“I will request it. Pass out orders that our destination has not changed. Continue forward!”
“Yes.” The Light Guard stood up and left.
Silent Light looked at the jade slip with a lost expression. Then, he shook his mind and cleared his thoughts. He turned around to his desk and started to write an application for authorization.
Someone who was able to arrange the Ascendant Bluegold Array and even kill Blue Torrent as well as 30,000 black armored obam powerhouses was significant enough to gain the attention of the Council of Elders. In addition with his own stance, Silent Light was confident he could convince them.
Hu An…Hu An…
You have finally succeeded. Don’t worry. I will definitely bring you back so that you don’t need to wander out there by yourself anymore.
Sorrow flashed in Silent Light’s eyes.
…
The City Lord Mansion had fallen deathly silent!
The report coming from the investigation squad was now placed on the table. Everyone subconsciously averted their eyes from it, but when they did look their pupils shrank in horror.
As if there was a ravenous monster inside the jade slip.
There wasn’t a monster in the jade slip, but the news inside left the numerous high-level obam nobles feeling a cold chill shooting straight up their backs.
12 fallen humans, 30,000 black-armored obams…this formidable degree of strength was enough to sweep through the entire Little Sweet Mountains.
But now, they had quietly been buried there…
No, it wasn’t quietly, but with an earth-shaking pity and terror. The images contained in the jade slip caused the limbs of the obam noble masters to turn cold.
And the Aurora Elder, Deli, was undoubtedly the coldest of all those present.
30,000 black-armored obams had been destroyed and the family had sustained a great loss in strength. But even this was an acceptable loss. With the Aurora Family’s strength, as long as they had enough time they could recreate the legion of black-armored obams once more, even stronger than before.
The critical issue was the 12 fallen humans that had died…this included Blue Torrent! The family would have to pay an extremely high price for this reason and as the person in charge of making the decision to hire him, he would have to shoulder the majority of the responsibility!
“City Lord Sophia, I remember you saying that you were willing to pay any price to take revenge for Olas?”
Green and shining eyes locked onto the beautiful Sophia. Of course, this beauty was only from the perspective of the obam race.
A cold light condensed in Sophia’s eyes before turning to horror and dread. ”Elder Deli, I never imagined that this would happen. But do not worry, I am willing to put forth all my wealth to bear the consequences with you!”
“Wonderful. City Lord Sophia, please remember your promise!” Elder Deli stood up, his ice cold eyes filled with loathing as he looked at the obam nobles around the table. “The dignity of the obam race cannot be tarnished no matter what. Within the territory of us obams, no matter how powerful the resistance is, they must be completely wiped out!
“The imperial city’s specially appointed legion is prepared. Once the transmission array is completed, they will arrive at Great King City…the sinful resistance from the Little Sweet Mountains will be mercilessly and cruelly suppressed. I guarantee that all of them will be doomed to howl in despair!”
…
Great King City.
News from the Little Sweet Mountains had spread out and everyone now knew that the royal Aurora Family, a top class family from the imperial city, had suffered grievous losses. Even the squad of wicked and demonic fallen humans had been slain.
This was simply unbelievable!
It had been a long, long time since such an event had happened. Besides the few direct clashes, the obam race had never suffered such severe losses. They looked at the Little Sweet Mountains, a chill in their eyes as well as some awe.
The awe came from the respect they felt for powerhouses, even if that person was a human. As for the chill…that was because the imperial city would never forgive this.
For this kind of great loss, all of the murderers had to be slain and their blood sacrificed to the dead obams. This was all to restore the confidence of the entire race.
Everyone was quietly waiting. They were waiting for the anger of the powerful Aurora Family, as well as the rage of the entire imperial city.
This waiting continued for four days. Then, everyone’s anticipation was sated.
On this day, the clear skies of Great King City darkened without warning. It was like a great hand appeared, blocking out all light.
They came!
Countless obams were left shaken. They looked up at the skies and saw a great black dot appear against the sun. It was like a black hole, swallowing all light that was released.
Then, the black dot expanded like a great opening mouth, wanting to swallow everything between the heavens and earth.
Hou –
A loud roar came from the darkness. It carried with it the terrifying aura possessed by something that stood at the top of the food chain, instantly covering the entirety of Great King City.
Inside the City Lord Mansion, Elder Deli’s complexion changed. His voice shook with awe as he said, “It’s him!” Before his voice fell he moved and disappeared from where he was standing.
The noble obams standing behind him all trembled. In their opinion, the Aurora Family Elder was an incomparably revered figure, one of the peak people of this world. Yet, even his complexion changed. Just who was it that arrived today?
Thinking this, no one dared to delay any further. They shot into the skies, waiting for that great lord to appear from the black hole.
Great King City fell into a dark and deadly silence. Fear rose from the depths of their souls, causing countless obams to shake and shiver. They could only lie on the ground, weakly twitching, nearly unable to breathe.
Bang –
A giant claw reached out from the darkness and pressed against the edges of the black hole, causing a scraping sound that pained the ears. With heavy breaths, a black dragon head peered out. It was covered with dense black scales and its red eyes flashed with a cold and violent light.
A dragon!
It possessed sturdy and powerful hind legs as well as huge, bat-like wings. As it flapped in the air it set off mighty waves in space. Its chilling gaze swept across the city before it reared back its head and roared into the skies.
Elder Deli trembled and fear appeared in his eyes. Luckily, his cultivation was strong enough that he was able to maintain his calm. But behind him, the noble obams all cried out with shock. Their faces turned miserable and white, without any hint of blood, as they nearly crashed down from the sky.
Batwing dragon. They were a special bloodline dragon that once ruled over the entire world. They were a life form that stood at the peak of the biological food chain.
Before being overthrown, the obam race was only one of the rations of the batwing dragons; their status was even worse than that of the current humans.
Even though the rule of the batwing dragons had been overturned, the fear that had been imprinted into the blood of their race hadn’t faded. To the obams, they were the most feared creature, second to none.
But now, on the head of this incomparably strong batwing dragon, one so formidable that it could be considered a king among its kind, there was a throne made of dark gold. This throne wasn’t even a third of the size of a scale.
On the dark golden throne, there was a snow white obam. He had a pair of wings on his back, the exact same as the batwing dragon’s but countless times smaller. At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes.
Space seemed to freeze as a terrifying suppression crashed down from the heavens. This wasn’t a true suppression of power, but an aura that was instinctively released from the soul!
If one didn’t see this it would be almost impossible to believe that there was such a terrifying power hidden in this obam that was one size smaller than average…it was like a great beast that had been sealed away. It could break through the illusion at any moment and destroy everything it saw.
“Ahh!”
With loud shouts, the obam nobles cried out like shocked hens. They lost control of their bodies and fell to the ground.
Elder Deli dripped with sweat. He gulped with difficulty and lowered his head. He shook as he said, “Aurora Family Elder greets the Great Dragon Overlord.”
It was him, it really was him.
Even though he had already guessed this, upon seeing the truth for himself he still found it inconceivable. Fear swelled up from the depths of his eyes.
In fact, Elder Deli didn’t even dare to mention his own name in front of him...because he didn’t have the qualifications to be remembered.
The batwing dragons were the inborn adversary of the obam race. To the obams, their scent was like the world’s most dreadful poison. Just by breathing it in the obams would slump down in place, losing at least 90%of their strength without any ability to resist.
But the Great Dragon Overlord was an exception. This was because he was a terrifying freak of nature, one that was able to devour dragons! No one knew how the Great Dragon Overlord did this, but the pair of dragon batwings growing from his back was the best proof that it was possible.
He had once swallowed one or even more batwing dragons, and it was this feat that granted him the title of Great Dragon Overlord. At this moment, the one beneath him was the Batwing Dragon King.
Someone as strong and vicious as the Batwing Dragon King could only act obediently, allowing itself to be controlled by the Great Dragon Overlord!
Within the obam race, the Great Dragon Overlord possessed an absolute status. He could even be called the spiritual leader of the obam race. And to some degree, he could be considered to be on par with that existence in the imperial city, the Obam Emperor who possessed unsurpassed authority.
This type of great existence had actually come to Great King City. Whether it was the sweating Elder Deli or the obam nobles that were lying distressed on the ground, all of them knew that things had spiraled out of their control.
“From here on out, the war will be commanded by me.” The Great Dragon Overlord slowly said. Unlike his thin and small body, his voice was majestic and solemn, carrying with it the aura of the years. Every word seemed to possess the weight of great importance!
Elder Deli’s eyes shrank and a cold sweat covered his back. He was paying attention to the Great Dragon Overlord’s words…war…this was actually a war…
Damn it, just what had happened!? But without daring to think along these lines any further, he respectfully said, “Yes, everything will be as you wish.”
The Great Dragon Overlord looked up at the Little Sweet Mountains. A cold intent flashed between his narrowed eyes. “The losses shouldn’t be restricted to the obams alone…my old friend, don’t you think I’m right?”
