Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord Chapter 197 The Sage's Descent

197 The Sage’s Descent
“What has happened that has caused the Sage of the Moon to personally descend to this place?” asked Lord Aiur.
The Sage of the Moon and his hero looked at Lord Aiur.
“What happened in the arena?” the Sage asked.
Lord Aiur was taken aback at the question. He was confused. Shouldn’t the Sages have seen everything? The competition and the arena were visible to everyone outside the Overlord Plane, after all.
The teachers and Sages were the ones watching and evaluating their performance in the competition.
Why was the Sage of the Moon asking him this question?
“Since the start of the competition, many strange things have happened. There was the reappearance of the Sunken City ruins, and then the loss of connection of the Overlord Plane with the outside world.” The Sage of the Moon explained the situation to Lord Aiur.
Lord Aiur connected the dots. “It must be the Dark Screen!”
He recalled that Lord Carla had declared herself as a member of the Dark Screen in the arena recently. She had mentioned that she was going to awaken the mythical beast!
The Sunken City’s ruins had attracted everyone’s attention. Lord Aiur felt that all the incidents were related. He thought that all of it had been the conspiracy of the Dark Screen.
Aiur explained everything to the Sage of the Moon.
“Are they crazy?!” snarled the Moon Goddess. “If that thing wakes up, nobody will be able to control it! It will bring an unimaginable disaster!”
The Moon Goddess sounded scared of the mythical beast. The Sage of the Moon was among the top Sages. Naturally, his hero, the Moon Goddess, would also be formidable. However, she sounded almost frightened.
Was the gap between a Legendary Level and a Mythical Level that huge?
The Dark Screen’s plan of awakening and controlling the mythical beast sounded idiotic and reckless.
“Your Majesty, Sage of the Moon, why are you here?” asked Lord Aiur.
The Sage of the Moon spoke. He didn’t hide anything. He began explaining everything from the time he had lost contact with the arena. Nobody was able to reach the arena. He had waited for the eliminated Lords and their heroes to materialize in their respective territories to ask them about the situation.
However, the first Lord and hero to be eliminated were Lord Evelyn and her hero, the Radiant Envoy. He had gone to their territory to ask her about the situation. But he found out that her resources were gone, so Lord Evelyn had died permanently. Her hero, the Radiant Envoy, had returned to the Hero Plane.
The Sages understood that things were serious. They couldn’t connect to the arena at all. If the eliminated Lords died for good, then they would have no way to know what was happening in the arena. So, the Sages, and the teachers decided to transfer the resources to the territories of the participating Lords so that they could resurrect themselves. This was why Lord Aiur was alive.
“That girl… Su Wan. How’s her situation?” asked the Sage of the Moon.
Lord Aiur wondered why the Sage asked about Su Wan specifically.
The Sage of the Moon explained that Su Wan was a classmate of his friend’s sister. She had been pestering him about her whereabouts.
“She…”
Lord Aiur didn’t know how to continue. “She has a strange hero by her side. She also has some strange Dark-Types under her command. I… if I tell you she almost started a war among the Dark-Types and Light-Types, would you believe me?” he asked cautiously.
He had no intention to slander Su Wan. However, from the situation in the arena, what he said would likely come to pass.
“Sage, are you worried about Su Wan’s safety?” he asked. “If you are worried, you don’t need to. I think you should be worried about the other Lords more than Su Wan, at this point.
Aiur blurted out everything for the sake of the other human Lords. “The situation turned very dire. Other than me and my hero, all others were either of Dark-Types or Light-Types. However, it was different from previous competitions, this time the heroes seemed to know each other. They formed their own alliances.”
Lord Aiur was genuine. The competition this time had been very strange. It was almost as though the heroes already knew each other and decided to form a team before they came to the Overlord Plane.
Lord Aiur wanted to complain. He had been defeated brutally. The others had formed their own team, while he had been the lone wolf. The competition had been entirely different from before.
The Sage of the Moon and the Moon Goddess looked at Lord Aiur, feeling very conflicted.
“It is possible for a war to break out among the Dark-Types and the Light-Types…,” said the Moon Goddess.
The Moon Goddess was one of the most powerful nature heroes. However, she had not returned to the Hero Plane for a long time after she had signed a contract with the Sage of the Moon, so she didn’t know the current situation in the Hero Plane.
