At that time the sky of the city of Aulzania was filled with peace. The blue expanse of the sky stretches from one horizon, to another horizon. Only a few of the white clouds that become decoration above and prove that the sky is in a bright state.
People's smiles became a scene throughout the city, showing that they were feeling happy. Even so, maybe happiness and smiles are not spared from sadness and crying.
Behind the happiness of some people, there will always be some people who feel sadness. Behind the smiles of some people, there will always be cries heard from some people.
This is a reality that will never be removed from the world. True peace and true happiness are only dreams dreamed of by someone who cannot think realistically in the mortal world.
..........
Then on that peaceful and sunny day, a huge creature flashed across the sky of Aulzania City. The creature was enormous, with four legs dangling down, two flapping wings, and a shiny, scaly skin of Turquoise.
His large figure produced a gigantic shadow that covered a part of the region so that everyone's eyes were fixated towards him. Everyone was silent, their smiles disappeared, their eyes were shaking, and some of them were terrified.
They knew of that huge creature known as the Dragon Race. A race that originated from the largest and furthest continent in the world, they were known as a race that shut themselves off, and would only come out when something big had or was about to happen.
Legend has it that nothing good came of the Dragon Race when it came to the human continent. They would only bring about destruction by their immense strength and massive size.
But the Turquoise Dragon just crossed the city at a constant speed, and moved neither too fast nor too slow as if he was just relaxing on his way. His large figure then disappeared into the depths of the Loudeas forest; vanished and left without causing such a meaningful mess.
Although it was not completely safe, but everyone felt a little relieved. At the very least, they did not need to worry too much if the dragon made a mess in the Loudeas forest because the forest was so mysterious and strange.
The thought of some ordinary people goes again normally, but not with those who become the royal defense forces. Derrian guessed that the arrival of the dragon into the forest of Loudeas must not be simple, plus worries arose knowing that the disciples taught by Anryzel were also heading towards the same forest at the same time.
Not to mention, his thought of always imagining the worst situation could not receive such a momentary peace that Derrian ordered the entire city defense force to be on standby in case the worst situation really happened.
Derrian's actions caused a little panic among the residents, but he ignored it. According to him, preventing the worst situation is more important than avoiding a little panic from the population.
Then in a different place, the Turquoise Dragon revealed its intimidating figure. The large, sharp round eyes examined every corner of the Loudeas forest that he gradually explored.
His eyes instantly locked onto a horde of people he thought was a little suspicious. In the horde of people, there was one creature that felt very familiar because the aura that the creature emanated was so different from the others.
The Turquoise Dragon, who originally intended to simply watch over the forest, decides to take action because of one such creature. After all, the existence of the creature was so familiar to him that he took out a dragon-typical Dragon Breath which of course was below the True Dragon Breath that Dragon God possessed.
Dragon Breath was created around the mouth of the gaping Turquoise Dragon. Such a high heat energy was compressed, then shot out at an extremely high speed towards the hordes of people walking.
The super-fast Dragon Breath shot vaporized the air in the path he had passed. When the Dragon Breath almost hit the land that was stepped on by the horde of people, it suddenly disappeared as if it had never existed in the world.
Turquoise Dragon sharpened his eyes, and thought that his decision in firing Dragon Breath was not entirely wrong. The familiar creature has demonstrated its ability to easily ward off Dragon Breath.
"Retained?"
Turquoise Dragon spoke for himself. Not long after, the red silhouette quickly approached the existence of the Turquoise Dragon directly blocking it. At that instant, the Turquoise Dragon stopped moving and watched the figure solemnly.
"This ... You, is the Blood Devil?"
The sinister look of the Turquoise Dragon looked like a lizard in wonder. The knowledge and experience of his life that had accumulated for so long was not even enough to explain what he was witnessing.
But instead of caring about the appearance of a strange dragon, Anryzel instead looks annoyed with what he received before. Thinking that a Dragon Breath suddenly attacked, it was only natural that he felt annoyed over it all.
"I originally intended to ignore you, Dragon. But it's unexpected that you're the one who's looking for trouble."
Turquoise Dragon did not heed the annoyance shown by Anryzel, instead he felt very curious how could an extinct race suddenly appear in this place.
"Tell me, are you really a Blood Devil?" asked Turquoise Dragon curiously.
Anryzel furrowed his brows, and replied in an increasingly furious tone, "That's me, then why? Is my existence bothering you so much? Then let's get this over with quickly."
"No, no. I didn't mean to hurt you. Merely, I felt the existence of a creature that felt familiar, as if my blood and soul had known you before."
Turquoise Dragon suggests an inappropriate excuse to be used as a reference in attacking someone. After all, attacking someone all of a sudden just because that person feels familiar is a cross-border thing.
Anryzel closed her eyes, then opened them again, and then smiled, saying, "There's no reason. One blow, then I might forgive you."
For a moment the Turquoise Dragon thought of it as a joke. However, he soon realized that Anryzel's words were serious when Anryzel suddenly disappeared.
The sound of explosions rumbled, coming from the clash between the naturally hard and strong dragon skin, with the well-trained hand skin of Anryzel.
The enormous Turquoise Dragon was successfully dropped from a height by someone much smaller in size with a cut on the top of its mouth.
The huge body fell right over the forest. Due to its large size and large mass, the fall of the Turquoise Dragon caused the ground to tremble within a radius of several kilometers around the place.
Anryzel watched the Turquoise Dragon. He didn't really expect that the Turquoise Dragon would take the blow for granted. Perhaps the Turquoise Dragon was very confident in his physical endurance? Of course it's a stupid thing.
"How, it shouldn't be so bad, right?"
Turquoise Dragon slowly rose. He lifted his body while groaning in pain accompanied by a sense of shock that was still left by the previous blow.
"I have no grudge against you, Blood Devil. But the dignity of a dragon will be destroyed if I do nothing for this humiliation."
"Grooaayarrrrrrrr!!"
Turquoise Dragon roared violently. That deafening roar spread throughout the surrounding forest so that the living beings who were not strong enough died instantly upon hearing it.
The roar of the Turquoise Dragon was detected to contain magic that caused living beings to experience mental decline, courage, and disturbing thoughts. Therefore, it was certain that the Turquoise Dragon roared to weaken the opponent, while simultaneously stating that the challenge letter had been submitted.
"Fight with me, Blood Devil! This fight will not end unless one of us gives up, or maybe dies!"
After saying so, the Turquoise Dragon transformed into a human-like dragon figure. Perhaps people will say that the Turquoise Dragon has transformed from the original dragon form, to the Dragonoid form, which is a Dragon that stands on two legs like a human.
Anryzel was quite flabbergasted when he saw the Turquoise Dragon perform an alien transformation. As far as he was concerned, a real dragon could not transform into a Dragonoid, except for a Dragonoid that turned into a real dragon figure, it was still possible.
When the fight was almost inevitable again, the group of disciples who went with Anryzel approached. This certainly endangers the safety of the disciples because the power of the Turquoise Dragon is still classified as beyond their ability even though it is doubtful that this Turquoise Dragon has a high level among its people.
"Anryzel's! Let us help you!!" nivania shouted from a distance.
Together with the disciples, Nivania marched behind the airborne figure of Anryzel and set up a combat formation that they had trained for a month to fight enemies of massive strength, or massive size.
"No need" said Anryzel.
The existence of the disciples did not mean that it would not help at all, but to avoid the worst situation, Anryzel chose to fight the Turquoise Dragon alone. After all, he didn't feel anything bad like ***** killing from the Turquoise Dragon.
Through the magic medium, Anryzel's voice can be heard by everyone. They were shocked by his statement which seemed to see them as a burden that would be troublesome in a fight.
Feeling that those words were too cruel, Nivania exclaimed and asked, "Wait! Why?!"
Everyone expected a reasonable excuse from Anryzel. An acceptable reason and explain everything. However, Anryzel is not an Anryzel if it can easily match everyone's expectations.
"Why, you say? Of course because this dragon is only a small matter. Just enough to stretch before giving you training. So you're saying I should ask for help when the enemy is just an ordinary dragon?" bright Anryzel with a serious face.
Nivania and the disciples just fell silent. They did not want to say any more words, then decided to immediately leave the battle area without anyone speaking a word.
Meanwhile, the perfectly transformed Turquoise Dragon launched a sudden attack. He shot a ball of high-temperature energy at Anryzel at a speed that could not be seen by ordinary eyes.
The attack was followed by the movement of the Turquoise Dragon who braved and tried to tear Anryzel with its long and shiny claws. The sharpness and claw strength of the Turquoise Dragon even exceeded a first-rate magic sword that a human could create.
Anryzel responded by neutralizing the high-temperature energy ball using a low-temperature energy ball so that the two energy balls collided and produced a violent explosion.
Close combat then was unavoidable. Anryzel with his bare hands clashed against the sharp Turquoise Dragon claws and was naturally like a sword.
The lacing and incision from the Turquoise Dragon continued to be launched. Using his bare hands, Anryzel counteracted all of it so that several scratches were engraved on both of his arms.
Turquoise Dragon moved quickly, then took a position slightly above Anryzel, and then carried out an attack that was started by a swing in gathering power.
"Meteoric Fist!"
Turquoise Dragon glides with its clenched hands. A large amount of power focused on his hands and claws until it produced a dazzling blue light.
Anryzel waited for the right moment, then he filled all his pure physical strength into the hand then lunged upwards and smashed his fist at the Turquoise Dragon's attack.
From a distance, the silhouettes of the two of them were only limited to blue and red lights that clashed together and produced a great explosion and bang sound. The effect caused by the collision of the two attacks even defeated the effect of the Turquoise Dragon roar which of course killed some weak living beings.
"Unbelievably, you were the first person to successfully wound me with just one type of attack."
Anryzel watched closely the torn wound that was on her right hand. Even after exerting all his physical strength, he still suffered considerable injuries from the attack.
The pure blood of a True Blood Devil flowed. Anryzel immediately healed the wound so that his blood did not affect anything but unfortunately a drop of blood fell and hit a tree under them.
The tree instantly underwent significant changes, ranging from its physical form to the mana that spread throughout its body experiencing fluctuations. Until a while later, the tree seemed to be truly alive and had an ego and a thought.
Although the tree could not speak, Anryzel seemed able to understand that the tree was submissive to him and intended to help in fighting the Turquoise Dragon which he thought was an enemy for Anryzel.
Without Anryzel's consent, the tree moves like a monster. He ran using his modified roots into legs towards the Turquoise Dragon. The tree then attacked with tree trunks that became flexible like whips that whipped Turquoise Dragon.
Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the Turquoise Dragon and the newly born tree was simply too far away. The Turquoise Dragon easily destroyed the tree with Dragon Breath so that the tree simply disappeared.
Faintly, Anryzel once again heard that the tree said something like apologizing to him. It was not clear why the tree apologized, but Anryzel did not think about it too far.
"What the hell, Blood Devil. Why would a tree become a monster just from being exposed by your blood?" Turquoise Dragon called for a question.
Anryzel raised an eyebrow in response first. After that he said to reply to Turquoise Dragon's question, "The fact that you don't know the matter signals that you're not an experienced dragon."
Turquoise Dragon rounded his eyes, he seemed to recall something in a memory that had been buried deeply. He closed his eyes for a moment, then said to Anryzel in a more friendly tone when he opened his eyes again.
"Maybe you're right. Blood Devil, please allow me to know your name?"
"I don't want to tell my name to someone who's about to die, but as a form of appreciation because you can hurt me then this is an exception."
Anryzel did not take his words seriously. As he had previously sensed that the Turquoise Dragon had never once exerted any killing intent. Despite that, the Turquoise Dragon was still serious about fighting, which was why Anryzel was able to receive a wound on his right hand.
"You kidding? Meteoric Fist is my strongest direct hit. I deployed everything on the attack earlier, but I instead received a bigger wound!" the Turquoise Dragon.
"That's a trivial problem. I am Anryzel, a Blood Devil .. ah, no. Perhaps more precisely, a True Blood Devil."
Turquoise Dragon was silent for a moment, then he spoke, "I've heard the term from kings .. but never once thought I would meet one of them."
Anryzel locked onto the word spoken by the Turquoise Dragon. Curiosity suddenly arose so he decided to ask the expert who knew the past history.
"*Ahn, do you hear me?"
"Not as you think. True Blood Devil there is only one in the world, and there will still be one for good. Your presence is an exception because I am you, and you are me. Looks like the kings referred to by this little dragon have some distorted information, you don't have to worry about it*."
Anryzel nodded in understanding with Ahn's explanation. He then approached Turquoise Dragon and asked him the most important thing to ask.
"What's your purpose in this forest?" anryzel asked seriously.
This is the most important problem actually. Suppose the Turquoise Dragon is planning to do anything with the Loudeas forest, or rather to say his palace, then it is better to destroy the Turquoise Dragon right then and there.
"Trust me, I don't have any bad intentions ...."
