Chapter 729 - I Found You
-----
Within the depths of the Jungle, the Scaled God sensed the presence of powerful beings ruining his army's march before they could even reach the village. Out of nowhere, these powerful entities began to decimate his entire army without facing many difficulties. It was something mesmerizing, he had eventually expected his army to be defeated over time, after many lives were sacrificed from the humans and the other races living with them, but in fact, it seemed that it wasn't the case! The Scaled God couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine, a fear he had never felt before.
He stood up alarmed, the beings in here were not normal at all. Whatever they were, they were perhaps… near his level of power. But how could beings of such power exist in this world anymore after the great war? After such a big war, barely any beings of his level of power were left scattered across the world, unless it was mortals who had risen through Mana Core Ranks, but that would be even rarer, all of those concentrated into far away places, he had already sensed them from very far away, and they didn't seem to be a threat as long as he kept himself away from their territories, minding his own business.
However, things were going not according to how he expected them to go… These beings, aside from having frighteningly strong Auras were not mere high-ranked cultivators or something, they were beings that were not even people into his eyes! One of them was an aberrant being similar to him, an entity encompassed of pure Chaos and a cold layer of icy aura, with a core that was completely made of a strange miasmic mass, a mutation of miasma, corrupted mana by chaos which had become something completely different! Or well, this is how he "saw" her, Benladann! Of course he didn't even knew her name, but the similarities with him were too big.
She was also a being of Chaos, yet she was fighting against his own Chaos beings… He had thought it was some sort of being from his kin, if that were the case, it would had noticed the army and either join it or rush towards him as he was an ally, not an enemy. However, that wasn't the case at all. This being of Chaos was opposing him! Something that was… completely unnatural! Chaos beings helped one another naturally, it was impossible for them to go against one another due to their origins.
"This is impossible… How come a Chaotic Entity is opposing me? Cannot he understand I am trying to gather resources? C-Could it be that it became attached to the feeble life of this world? Tch…! Or perhaps it is only blindly doing something believing there is not someone like me behind it? …What should I do? Maybe… going there could work? No… That would be risky with the other entity with him!" The Scaled God thought, gritting his teeth as he felt a sudden cold sensation run through his spine, he began to feel as if the entire room dropped several degrees and things became colder by merely glancing at…
At HIM.
Although the entity of Chaos was commendably powerful, HIM was not something that could be taken easily… It was not something he could even scoff at, it wasn't anything he could probably take too well either… HIM was a dragon, for sure. The scent of a pure-blooded dragon filled the entire battlefield and it even leaked into the jungle. But that wasn't all, his aura was incredibly cold, but even then, it had other elements as well… Which was already impossible too!
"Dragons… can only wield one element or two at most… H-How does this being… It has so many elements?! Dragons can usually only wield the element they're born as, which also shapes their race element… But this monstrosity… What sort of entity is this?!" The Scaled God felt completely and utterly terrified by the prospects of this dragon.
All things said this dragon was an Ice Dragon, a ruthless, cold, and powerful type of dragon capable of freezing entire landscapes and bring winter with them everywhere they moved, at the level it was, it was already almost at the level of the True Ice Dragons, direct children of the Progenitor of all Ice Dragons, Nifl! Ice Dragons were the descendants of the powerful Primordial Ice Dragon Nifl, the daughter of the Titan Dragon Mother who gave birth to all Primordial Dragons that represented every element in the world of Yggdrasil, they were all survivors after the Ragnar?k, and posed a deadly threat against the Scaled God in the past…
"C-Could he be a descendant of Nifl?! But I am sure that most Dragons were killed after the Ragnar?k, and without being able to reproduce with one another, their numbers should be near zero…!" Muttered the Scaled God.
"H-How come one just showed up out of nowhere?! Damn it all! But not only that… His freezing power fairly surpasses every ice dragon that has ever existed?! Within the Hivemind shared with everyone, the info we gathered through the invasion says that… No, the only dragon to ever compare was the primordial Nifl herself… And to boot, it has… J-Just how many elements are these?! Shadow/Darkness, Death, Dream, Illusion, Wind, Phantom, Poison, Spirit, and Moonlight… No, it has also Null, which evolves into Void if mastered, and even… W-What are these weird magics? One that helps at converging materials and another that helps at… transfusing the true meaning of elements into… food?! What the…?! What are these elements of magic, when were they even invented?!"
The Scaled God was going insane by merely spying upon Drake's Aura as he unleashed his powers and massacred the army! He swung his bare hands as half the army was frozen, swung them again and all those frozen were cut into pieces and dissipated into dust! However, he quickly realized somebody was actually looking at him!
And the Scaled God felt his gaze…! As if nine heads were glaring down at him!
"I found you." He said.
