Chereads / Ruin's Embrace: The Darkened Legacy / Chapter 28 - From the Akagi clan

Chapter 28 - From the Akagi clan

Wait a moment, Yami. I have another person who will accompany you...

Yami was puzzled by the situation, but Jaha was laughing while drinking some wine at the same time...

At the main gate of the palace, there was a frail body of a tortured demon. The burns were evident everywhere, making it impossible to recognize their gender. Even their horns were broken...

"This eye didn't go mad even after everything that happened. Well, the next phase is to break them... There's nothing worse than giving someone hope and then taking everything away from them... Hahaha, it's a terrible feeling. No one wants to go through this nonsense... So, let's return to the land of demons... Give them hope and then slap them with the truth... In the end, bring them back here."

Yami was amazed by everything the little demon went through, but he didn't ask any questions...

Suddenly, Boros knelt before Mazino. "Commander, please let me go with King Jaha... I want to take revenge on my clan with my own hands..."

Damn it, I wanted to take Boros with me as a companion, but it seems he prefers revenge... Well, it doesn't matter. His power has developed well, reaching the peak of the earthly spirit realm...

"Very well, do as you wish... And now I will make an announcement to the others here... Fortunately, there is a new division that will be added to this place... It's the mission division... In that division, everything works automatically. Everyone will receive tasks suitable for them from the division, along with appropriate rewards. So, enhance your strength quickly..."

Next to the palace, there was a giant building entirely in red. It was the second building, completely red, after the palace... Inside, the place resembled a guild for adventurers... But instead of a host, there was a black screen displaying information related to missions and rewards...

Well, this is an addition linked to the system's advancement to level three... An addition that will empower the entire clan forward...

The Little Abyss set off. Yes, that's the name Mazino gave to the monster that became his companion... It soared into the sky and released black energy from its mouth, forming a dark circle. But this wasn't an attack... As soon as the Little Abyss's body passed through the circle, it grew in size, becoming slightly smaller than a full-grown dragon...

The monster gestured to Mazino to climb onto its back... Mazino smiled mischievously, and a lightning bolt appeared beneath his feet in the shape of an ice sled...

Thunderous sounds began to shake the place... They launched directly and started gliding through the air...

"Haha, you want me to ride you? Hahaha, wait until you become faster than me first... Hahaha!"

The Little Abyss looked at him, also smiling, with fiery red halos igniting around its six wings... And it launched directly after Mazino...

They were in their own race, not caring about anything else...

The situation continued like that until suddenly Mazino turned around and started looking into the distance... Yes, he was incredibly fast compared to the Little Abyss, as he hadn't matured yet...

What was strange is that there were four elders surrounding the Little Abyss, screaming at its face...

"Cursed Dragon's Clan... Do you want to breach the treaty? Do you want to start a war or what? Speak, you damned creature!"

One of the elders became extremely angry, believing that one of the Dragon Tribe figures had started moving against humans...

Suddenly, an idea came to Mazino's mind... Hahaha!

He signaled the Little Abyss not to kill the elders. Let them hold them captive, and this way, they would become the reason for attacking the sect to which these elders belonged...

He observed the situation from a distance...

The rest of the elders became angry because the dragon remained silent.

Due to their strength, all monsters that reach the Celestial Spirit level can speak fluently. They can even take on human form... Of course, the elders were unaware of the power of the Abyss...

If they knew, they would have wet themselves with fear...

The four elders attacked together, and the Abyss pretended to fight back. It accidentally injured one of them and nearly killed him...

From a distance, Mazino enjoyed the fight, albeit fake. However, he knew that most of these elders had skills associated with the fire element...

After some time, the elders finally succeeded in capturing the dragon and took it for interrogation. They had an expression of pride... capturing a powerful dragon lineage. They might receive praise from the sect leader... but they did not know that they had brought disaster upon themselves and their sect...

They entered the sect, carrying the bound dragon, and everyone looked at them in admiration. One of the senior disciples approached.

"Hanon, greet the elders."

"Hanon, quickly gather the rest of the elders... Tell them that we have captured one of the dragons and don't know the reason for its presence in human territory. Let's meet at the sect headquarters immediately..."

Hanon turned and quickly headed towards one of the mountains near the sect's headquarters. Of course, the sect was vast, owning a large expanse of land...

After some time, twelve elderly elders gathered, along with about fifty middle-aged men. They were all the elders of the clan...

They bowed towards a physically powerful man with a red mustache. He was sitting on the clan's throne... Behind him was a red flag with a flame and two crossed swords...

"Hahahaha, well done, Elder Rico. Bringing a dragon to the clan, hahaha, we might extract the essence of the fire element from it... to compensate for the losses our blazing wing recently suffered. Hahaha, well done. You can choose a treasure from the vault after the meeting..."

"I thank the leader for his generosity..."

The old man bowed cunningly...

But suddenly, one of them shouted...

"There is something wrong with this! Damn it, what's been happening recently..." This old man didn't even show respect to the sect leader...

"Who captured this dragon?"

Silas looked at the rest of the elders until his gaze settled on Elder Rico...

Rico bowed slightly as he respected Silas after all.

"This is impossible, Rico. You and a few others will never be able to capture that dragon."

"What do you mean by that, Lord Silas? We fought a dangerous battle to bring it here..."

"What battle... Are you telling me you fought it..."

Silas turned to the sect leader and said, "Tianjin, prepare for battle. Even you won't be able to defeat that dragon if it decides to fight at full power. It is at the third level of the Deep Formation realm. I lost track of it when I was coming here. And it is sleeping... It doesn't even care about being kidnapped. Something strange is happening here..."

All the elders paled at these words. But before anyone could react, a hysterical laughter erupted from the darkness behind them...

Silas became extremely frightened and fell to the ground.

Everyone immediately realized what was happening. This newcomer was associated with the Akagi clan.
