Chapter 65: The Ruler of Night and Shadows
At first, it might sound to many that Holdrake’s goal was like Jett’s. Both wanted humans and dragons to work together, so only the extinction of Light Dragons in Holdrake’s plan seemed like a problem. But Jett did not think it this way. He could not expect someone whose existence was born through resentment and death to have ambitions similar to his.
"You want dragons to be dependent on humans, and vice versa, don’t you?!" Jett shouted back, raising his guard coated in Iebo.
Holdrake smashed his battle‑ax at him and replied, "Dragons are born through eggs. Even though they are mammals, they hatch eggs! This ensures they’re born in dragon forms, but my son wasn’t born from an egg! This disgusted Light Clan the most, even though we had such a beautiful miracle!"
Where is he heading with this? Jett thought as he exchanged blows with the man.
Holdrake screamed, "I will use Dragon Guardian privilege to make dragons no longer hatch eggs and make them unlock their dragon forms through dragonslayer magic from the hands of humans! Humans who help awaken dragon forms will create a natural bond with the dragons and strengthen themselves this way as well, but also become dependent on the dragons for strength, mana, and powers!"
In the long run, dragons would not be able to reach their full potential or keep their culture without humans. Similarly, humans would not be able to learn anything other than dragonslayer magic. Or rather, this magic would be naturally the strongest in their hands, so learning other types of magic would be too difficult and useless.
Holdrake also had more plans for that. He wanted humans and dragons to reproduce together naturally, so those with both human and dragon bloodlines would be the truly strongest. No longer a miracle, he wanted what happened to his son to be the norm.
"You want to weaken dragons and humans!" Jett replied.
"Only at the beginning, they would be weaker. In the long run, they will become even more invincible!" Holdrake barked back.
