The Dragon Lord System
S2 - Journey

The four of them continued to step inside the Elysian forest which was referred to as the "forest of death".

However, it was seen that this forest was not at all as creepy as they had imagined.

Large trees with lush green leaves, and sunlight shining down their paths. There were very few wild animals they encountered along their journey.

"Hmm, this father said was a forest of death, and many monstrous beasts were here. Why does it look like a normal forest? Was dad wrong?" luna said curiously, looking around her.

"So you doubt my knowledge?! Who has lived for so long?! YOU STUPID SHORT!" hades said resentfully, trying to defend his father.

"Hey, snaps! Be quiet! I'm not talking to you, you idiot!" sergeant Luna in a high tone, ignoring Hades' words.

Sebas, who had grown tired of their commotion, felt puzzled. He wondered in his heart why his two younger siblings always fuss about trivial things. He wanted to end the commotion. Sebas looked back and stared intently at Hades and Luna.

Hades and Luna, seeing their sister staring at them intently, immediately fell silent and quickly turned their faces away from looking at Sebas.

They realized that they had made an unnecessary fuss, and tried to restrain themselves from inciting the anger of their eldest brother.

Sebas let out a long sigh, trying to explain in more detail to Luna about what really happened in the Elysian forest why it was not as their father had said.

"Luna, I'm not mistaken about the Elysian death forest full of these monsters. There are no monsters around us right now because they ran away from your stupid fight!" say Sebas with a little tart.

Luna looked at Sebas with a confused look. "Huhuh? I don't understand, sis," he said with apparent confusion on his face.

Sebas explained patiently, "Did you know that when you two collect your magical energy, which is holy magic and darkness, the energy clashed with each other and caused an extremely violent magic fluctuation? Many monsters felt it and fled away from here. Understand now?!"

"Ah, hehehe, I'm sorry, Brother Sebas. It was not the wrong father, but I was the stupid one" Luna said with a hint of embarrassment, rubbing her head with regret.

"Finally you admit you're STUPID! Basic SHORT! AN IDIOT!" hades said in a mocking tone, unable to resist commenting.

Luna actually wanted to avenge Hades' taunts, but she realized that Hades was telling the truth. He had mistaken their father, so Luna just kept quiet, turned her face away, and cursed Hades.

...

Aleister looked with awe and surprise as he discovered a huge blue dragon in the sky. Without a second thought, he immediately called his older brother, Sebas, to see the phenomenon.

"Sir Sebas, look up at the sky!" said Aleister while pointing towards the sky filled with shock.

Hades and Luna, who were also looking at what Aleister was pointing at, were amazed at the sight of the azure dragon soaring in the sky.

"Hmm, when viewed from the characteristics of his dragon... Uh, wasn't that the dragon that attacked father and Zara?!" aleister said in surprise, recalling the incident that Zara had told him, that the dragon had attacked their father.

Hades and Luna, who heard that the blue-colored dumb dragon had once attacked their father, felt a deep rage and were ready to fight back.

"Huh?! That ugly blue lizard dared to attack papa?!, It looks like he wants to seek death!" luna said resentfully, intending to cast her magic against the blue dragon.

Meanwhile, Hades who noticed the blue dragon in the sky said, "It looks like the lizard needs a lesson." Hades was preparing to cast his dark magic as an act of revenge.

However, before the situation escalated, Sebas took decisive action to stop his younger siblings.

"You two, stop it!" sebas said in a firm and authoritative voice.

Hades and Luna faded the magic they had prepared upon hearing the harsh command of their older brother, Sebas. Although they were angry, they knew that listening to their brother was the best in this situation.

"Haha?!" they both said in surprise, responding to the words of their brother Sebas.

"But the stupid lizard attacked me, Brother Sebas!" luna protested loudly.

"Yes, I know that" said Sebas, scratching his head in confusion. "But I think the dragon is still too young compared to our father. I have lived for tens of thousands of years or even more. I don't know for sure why you didn't retaliate against the dragon's attack."

While stroking his beard, Sebas continued his explanation with full theory and analysis, "According to my theory, father deliberately did not retaliate against the stupid dragon's attack because the dragon was too young. As we know, young dragons at such an age want to show their true selves by attacking the stronger ones. But look, how good it is for you not to repay the foolish dragon. Dad thought it was still a child or a baby, and he knew fighting the weaker one was boring, so I just let it go."

Aleister, Hades, and Luna listened to the explanation of their eldest sister, Sebas, in awe. The explanation sounds reasonable and explains why their father did not face the dragon.

"Ah, so it is," Aleister said with great understanding.

"Hmm, that stupid snuff lizard is lucky that dad is too kind!, if I were to be treated like that, of course I would have already beaten him!" luna said with annoyance, still disturbed by the action of the dragon.

Hades was only speechless, his eyes constantly fixed on the azure-colored huge dragon in the sky.

They also continued their journey.

After several hours of walking in the hot sun, they felt exhausted and longed for a shady place.

Hades complained about the heat, while Luna agreed with his statement while stepping lazily. However, Sebas and Aleister continued on with a strong determination.

Sebas looked back and saw his two brothers complaining. He murmured inwardly, "This is why I refused to take them. They're just a hassle to me. But father ordered to take them, there may be a hidden plan behind it." Sebas breathed deeply.

"Well!, do you want to rest for a while under that big tree?" sebas said softly.

"Yes! Finally a shelter!" hades and Luna clapped their hands enthusiastically.

After arriving there, Hades immediately sat down casually, leaning his head on the large tree while yawning. Aleister and Luna also joined in, resting themselves under a comfortable tree.

Meanwhile, Sebas as the eldest brother remained standing and guarding them from a distance, monitoring the surroundings closely. He could not fully relax like his younger siblings, but he was happy to see them enjoying their moments of rest.

"Ah, finally able to relax after a long journey," said Hades while stretching his body.

"Truely, this is very pleasant," Luna continued with a smile.

As they relaxed, Sebas remained attentive to their surroundings, ready to act in case danger approached. Although he felt a little jealous seeing them so relaxed, Sebas knew that his duty as a big brother was to look after and protect his younger siblings.

The four of them enjoy their rest under a large tree, enjoying a moment of peace before continuing their adventure in the Elysian forest full of mystery and danger.

...

As Aleister was relaxing under a large tree, he suddenly heard an unusual sound. He watched and listened carefully.

"[Message]....."

"What's that noise?" mumbled Aleister, astonishment.

"[Message]....."

"Your father called you."

"Eh? Daddy's? Contacting us?" Aleister recalled their father's message regarding a special ability named [Message].

Without wasting any time, Aleister summoned the ability by saying "Message" and focusing on their father. Just then, their father's heavy voice sounded in Aleister's ears.

"So, how are you all doing?" ask their father.

"Dad! We're doing just fine. We're resting under a tree now. Oh yeah, Dad, Luna and Hades were...." Aleister tried to continue his conversation, but suddenly Hades and Luna noticed Aleister and heard their father's voice. They knew that Aleister would report their fighting incident to father.

Afraid of their father's anger, Hades and Luna hurriedly approached Aleister and closed her mouth quickly, trying to distract their father.

Luna swiftly said, "How are you, Papa? I miss Papa." Hades said, "Hi, Dad! I miss Dad too. How's Dad doing?"

Hades and Luna tried to keep their father from suspecting what Aleister would report. The two of them closed Aleister's mouth carefully to stop the sentence that would reveal the incident of their fight.

With their efforts, their father's attention was successfully diverted. They tried to show their longing and spoke enthusiastically so as not to arouse further suspicion.

Hades and Luna kept Aleister from continuing the conversation that could have provoked their father's anger. Although the events of their fight were not revealed, tension remained in the air.

"Ah my son I miss you too, hmm.. By the way Where's aleister?, didn't you just talk to him?, where is he now? " ask their father.

Hades and Luna were sweating as their father inquired about Aleister.

They are confused how to answer. Luna, who was stuttering, tried to explain that Aleister was talking to Sebas.

"Dad, e-eh, Ka-kak Aleister is talking to Ka-kak Sebas, Papa!" luna said with a stutter.

"Oh, so yeah. HAHAHAHAHA!" reply their father with a heavy voice.

Hades and Luna looked at each other, confused by their father's unexpected laughter.

"Why is Papa laughing?" luna asked confusedly.

"Ah, It's okay, my son. All right, hope your journey gets a good result," said their father, then immediately cut off communication through [Message].

Hades and Luna were relieved that their father did not suspect them. Quickly, they removed their hands from Aleister's mouth.

"Lucky Papa was not suspicious," said Luna with relief.

"Noah, thank God" said Hades, sighing.

Meanwhile, Aleister was annoyed that his mouth was shut by his two younger siblings while talking to their father. With a sharp look to his two younger siblings, he stood up and left them, heading towards his older brother, Sebas, with an annoyed expression.

Aleister let out a long sigh, trying to ease his frustration, while Sebas looked at Aleister's annoyed expression and asked, "What's up, Aleister?"

Aleister sighed again, then said in an annoyed voice, "They know I'm talking to dad, but they shut me up! That's so annoying!"

Sebas shook his head with a smile, "You know, they're still kids. Sometimes they do silly things like that without thinking. Try to be more patient with them."

Aleister nodded with a still irritated look on his face, but slowly he began to understand. Even so, his sense of regret was still felt in the heart.

"Alright, I will try to be more patient" Aleister said in a somewhat forced tone.

They continued on their way, leaving the incident behind. Hades and Luna who were still confused, tried to chase after them, trying to understand what was happening.
