Chapter 266 - 265. Behind The Hidden Doors (3)
The darkness that had converged toward the lake had vanished completely, leaving the atmosphere cleansed. The oppressive aura was replaced by an overwhelming sense of purity, the kind that reminded me of being in pollution-free air—crisp and untainted.
I glanced around, taking in the transformed surroundings. The dark, eerie energy was gone, leaving behind a serene forest filled with harmless fauna. It almost seemed like an ordinary place now, its sinister secrets washed away by the cleansing.
In the center of the crater, a soft glow caught my eye. I floated closer, drawn to the source of light like a moth to a flame. A small, opal-shaped stone rested there, glowing faintly with a greenish-blue hue. Its size—about that of a small child’s fist—belied the immense energy it seemed to hold.
Curiosity pulled me to pick it up. The stone was warm to the touch, and its gentle glow made me wonder about the Dragon I had just freed. Was its form the same color as this pulsing light?
I recalled what Roan had told me about the seven Dragons who had chosen to remain on Earth after the war, each aiding humanity in their own way:
The Gold Dragon who helped Saintess Miella to seal the gate of the demon world.
The Green Dragon who has the power to influence the flora and fauna.,
The Fiery Red Ire Dragon who decided to live in the large volcanic mountain,
The Frost Dragon who went to a long sleep in the iciest region.
The Silver Dragon who is said to be residing on the tip of the tallest mountain in the world.
The Aqua Dragon who was capable of healing any wounds and purifying the contamination that was left behind after the long war.
