Chapter 8 - Awakening II

Aemond, medium height, dark brown-haired, and young male dragon with black horns, dressed in luxurious and extravagant attire, had a dignified yet arrogant demeanor befitting his age.

Aemond suddenly appeared beside the host, placing his hand on the energy awakening stone without allowing the host to say anything.

After a second, 14 out of the 16 notches lit up, indicating that Aemond had awakened the primitive chaos-level mana, which was at the 1st stage.

"Your future will indeed be very bright, Lord Aemond," said the host.

Aemond glanced at him, ignoring him completely as he placed his hands on the soul awakening stone.

After another second, 14 out of 16 notches illuminated, and a large brown dragon appeared on it, which was Slawydrak, the hereditary spirit of the Sunfyre family, indicating that Aemond had awakened a primitive Chaos-level spirit, judging by the 14 notches.

Moreover, judging by its brightness, the primitive Chaos level could be a good aid for me in the future at the 2nd stage.

"Lord Aemond, you are truly remarkable. Based on your mana level and spiritual energy, you will be a great warrior for our kingdom," the host exclaimed.

After one second, 14 out of the 16 notches on the stone lit up again, and a spear embroidered with a brown dragon appeared on the stone; this meant that Aemond had awakened a primitive Chaos-level weapon.

Judging by its brightness, the primitive Chaos level at the 1st stage is truly a balanced awakening.

"HAHAHHAHAHAH, the Sunfyre family has truly raised an excellent offspring," said my father.

"Thank you for your praises, Your Majesty," Aemond replied calmly.

"You deserve the praise, child of Sunfyre," said my father.

"Thank you again, Your Majesty," said Aemond.

"You may visit the palace later, my son," said my father.

"As you wish," Aemond replied.

"You may go to your place, Lord Aemond," said the host.

Aemond nodded.

"And now, lastly, Crown Prince Aldrich Aphelion, please come to the awakening platform."

I noticed the stride as the two ducal heirs descended onto the awakening platform, and I knew I had to do something they hadn't done.

Ah, I have something they don't.

I suddenly spread my wings, and as my wings appeared, the wind spread around.

It's impossible to manifest wings in human form before awakening, but I can because I've consumed the bloodline purification elixir, allowing me perfect control over my powers.

I flapped my azure-colored dragon wings and advanced towards the awakening platform.

With each flap of my wings, I broke the infinite silence, getting closer to the awakening platform.

In just a few seconds, I landed on the awakening platform.

The host welcomed me.

"Please place your hand on the awakening stone, sir," said the host.

As I placed my hand on the energy awakening stone, energy came towards me from all the stones.

All the notches on the awakening stones lit up completely and became extremely bright.

However, the whole world began to shake.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

Simultaneously, two roars surprised us and darkness covered the whole world.

These were the roars of two pairs of wings.

Literally, two pairs of wings covered the whole world.

These gigantic wings covered this massive planet.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

With the second roar, a huge energy descended upon me from the Energy Awakening Stone.

Energy flowed from my body and enveloped me.

Immediately after, another energy descended upon me from the Soul Awakening Stone.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

With the third roar of the dragons, the spirits of two giant dragons descended upon me.

One of the dragons was black with azure-colored wings.

The other dragon was white with azure-colored wings.

The events did not end there, and the dragons roared again.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

With the fourth roar of the dragons, the Cosmic Weapon Awakening Stone was affected, and another energy descended into me.

Along with the energy, a sword resembling the Universe and adorned with dragon motifs representing the two spirits I gained from the Soul Awakening Stone appeared.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

The dragons let out their most powerful roars, yet they did not vanish.

*Pant* *Pant*

I was out of breath and fell on my rear.

It was really tough.

I don't know why such a thing happened and why the colors of the awakening stones are still glowing.

(GO OUT AND WATCH, CHILD.)

I heard a voice in my head, and I decided to obey it.

I don't know why I did such a thing, but I did.

I spread my wings, and without realizing that my wings were now twice as large as before, I began to fly towards the door at an incredible speed.

When I reached the door, the only thing I saw was two enormous dragons watching me from the sky.

It felt like they were looking into my soul.

(WATCH CAREFULLY, CHILD, THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF YOUR ERA. WATCH AND DIRECT THE FATE OF THE CREATURES IN THE UNIVERSE.)

I heard the same two voices echoing in my head, and I felt that these voices belonged to those two dragons.

Their nobility and arrogance in their voices were truly impressive.

This wasn't the arrogance of those foolish young lords; it was a deserved arrogance.

And these two dragons gave me the promise that I would rule the universe.

Oh my God, I must be going crazy.

(Ah, I guess the heir of these two will experience an awakening.) said the same two voices.

This time, there was no arrogance in their voices, but instead, it felt like they were remembering an old friend.

After a few seconds, two gigantic phoenixes appeared in the sky.

*Phoenix roar*

(please tell me what to use for this, English is not my native language and I don't know much about animal sounds.)

The phoenixes were black and white, just like the dragons.

They had shimmering azure feathers within their wings.

I noticed that the dragons had shrunk a bit, but not by much.

The phoenixes were the same size as them.

The dragons looked at the phoenixes as if they didn't want to be defeated by them, and the phoenixes looked at the dragons as if they were challenging them.

I guess they were competing.

After calming down, the phoenixes roared a few more times and took their places in the sky.

The phoenixes were calm, two large phoenixes, each the same size as the dragons.

A long-bearded and furry human wielding an axe appeared next.

He shouted three times and stepped aside.

Due to his small size, he didn't stand out much and looked funny.

At least, I think so, to hell with the others.

When Pangu fell silent, a serene elf with yellow hair and pointed ears appeared in the sky, emitting a calming aura.

His presence brought a sense of tranquility to the whole world, creating an atmosphere as if he were bringing peace to the world.

I've heard that elves have a closeness with nature, and this was probably why.

He held a green crystal-tipped staff in his hand.

He raised and struck

 it three times before stepping aside.

Although as big as Pangu, he was less than the dragons and phoenixes.

As the elf stepped aside, a demon with angular horns and black skin appeared, holding a black but intricately carved sword.

Like Pangu, he roared three times and stepped aside.

Finally, it was the turn of the Vampire.

The demon stepped aside, revealing a man with red eyes, pointed ears, and black hair, holding a blood-red sword.

Like Pangu and the demon, he roared three times and stepped aside.

Thus, the spirits of 6 heroes watched over the world from the sky.

9 spirits watched over the world in the sky, and the gigantic sizes of the dragons and phoenixes struck fear into the world.
