Chapter 541: The World’s Forgotten Past
As the question rumbled in Julius’ mind, the dragon’s mana-imbued voice thundered from the sky.
"Exordium, that’s how the first mages called this province before the demon invasion fifteen thousand years ago. For their contribution in repelling them, we offered them a world core’s fragment and miniaturised the place for them to rule as they saw fit as long as they never interacted with demons."
The dragon’s voice hardened, and its eyes narrowed into fiery slits before it continued.
"Millenia passed, and these brave humans, elves, and dwarves disappeared, but what have you done to honor their memories?"
As the question thunder, Rose’s cape fluttered, and her armor clanged as she shot through the sky to look the dragon in the eyes fearlessly.
"I raised an army and obliterated them. I sunk their continent, their city, and their legacy. I grasped this golden prison between my fingers for ten thousand years. And now I’m free."
Her rosy lips curled into a smirk as she pointed a finger towards it.
"And you’re the next."
"Hahaha!"
The dragon’s laughter rocked the sky as its eyes sparkled with amusement and its colossal shoulders trembled.
"It’s been a while since someone dared to challenge me, little one." Its eyes narrowed to the south, landing on the ghost army, leaving the province and Rose’s real body. "Trying to divert my attention while you escape. A smart one, indeed. Leave and increase your tier to match mine. I never backed away from a challenge. But remember: the moment you try to summon or interact with demons you’ll die, and trust me, I’ll feel it no matter where you stand in the realm."
