1210 What in the world is happening here?
“Do not treat me like your subordinate, Arcturus.
I will excuse you today thinking that your tongue slipped, but if you demean me one more time, then I do not know about the Human Emperors, but a Human Empress will declare War on you.”
Aurelian spoke as she looked right into Arcturus’s eyes.
They were all Divine Stage Cultivators, even if Arcturus was stronger than them, their pride would never allow them to bow in front of him.
Especially someone like Aurelian, who valued her pride more than anything.
“…”
Arcturus stared into her eyes.
“…”
Aurelian stared back, she had no intention of backing down.
“I take my words back.”
In the end, Arcturus was the one who gave in.
There was no need to pointlessly create enemies.
However,
“I apologize for my previous conduct, as you have said, it was a slip of tongue because I let my emotions get the better of me, as you said, you were only following the Ancestral Order’s rules, but, if I am not,
The Rules do not mention anything about protecting the Trail Takers, correct?”
Even a fool could tell where Arcturus was hinting at.
Lyriana glanced at Aurelian, waiting for her to choose what side she was on,
“The Rules do not specify anything like that.
I am under no obligation to protect Nux Leander.”
Lyriana’s expression changed the moment she heard those words.
“Aureli-”
She wanted to convince the Human Empress using her words, however,
“Lyriana, Nux Leander is an exceptional cultivator with a bright future, but in his arrogance, the enemies he has made have made it difficult for him to see that bright future.
He lacks vision and worldly understanding, I do not believe that ruining my relationship with the Dragon Continent for his sake is a wise move.”
Aurelian’s words were clear and Lyriana understood that she would not help her no matter what she said.
Truthfully, if it wasn’t for the Slave Seal, even she might not have helped Nux to this extent, however,
Right now, she had no other choice.
Because of her foolishness, her and her Kingdom’s fate was connected with Nux Leander, she had no option but to go all out.
She stepped in front of the Dragon Lord who was walking towards the Trial Tower to get rid of Nux while he was still taking the Trial.
Seeing that someone stood in front of him to stop him, Arcturus raised his eyebrow,
“Now this is quite interesting, Lyriana Frostwillow, do you truly wish to go this far for a child’s sake?”
He questioned.
“This is what I should be asking you, Arcturus. Do you truly need to degrade yourself just to capture a child? Are you so shameless that you would go after him when he is a state where he cannot even defend himself?”
“It doesn’t matter, even if he was in perfect shape, he wouldn’t have been able to do anything in front of me.”
“Why don’t you test that theory out when he is conscious?”
“I would, if that bastard had the guts to face me, but he doesn’t.
He has that little Dimension he hides in.
I am tired of this game of hide of seek, Now get out of the way, Lyriana.
Else I will see you as my enemy.”
“Oh? Those are quite scary words, don’t you think, Brother Arcturus?”
Suddenly, another new voice was heard.
Everyone turned towards the voice and saw the Vampire King’s Sister walking out of the portal with her signature playful smile on her face.
“Ambrosia…”
Arcturus narrowed his eyes.
“Don’t look at me like that, you were the one who forced me to come here.
You see, the boy taking the Trial is someone my daughter cherishes quite a lot.
I cannot let you hurt him.”
“Do you really wish to go this far? I will personally find a better groom for your daughter.”
Ambrosia however, shook her head,
“Brother Arcturus, did you already forget what happened to the person who tried to propose to one of his wives? He lost his Clan, his Wives and even his Children.
That man is quite possessive you know?
He turns into a ‘Devil’ when one goes after his wives,
I don’t think anyone would be ready to become my daughter’s groom after what he did to the previous wanna-be groom.”
“He won’t live to see that.” Arcturus replied.
“That’s what I am here to stop, aren’t I? Nux Leander will not die today.”
Ambrosia declared, standing right next to Lyriana.
“Heh. I didn’t expect there to be so much resistance when I am only trying to clean the filth in this world.”
Arcturus laughed out loud.
“It seems that what you consider a filth has quite a strong charm. There are people standing to protect him even when the Great Dragon Lord is trying to hunt him.”
Arcturus clenched his fists when he heard those words.
“I have heard enough.”
A cold look then appeared on his face then suddenly, all the cultivators present here widened their eyes in horror.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
50 Divine Stage Dragons were flying in the air.
The Dragon Army was here.
Their aura was so horrifying that all the cultivators below the Saint Stage were having difficulty in breathing.
“I didn’t think I would need to use them, but I am glad I brought here with me.”
Arcturus spoke with a smile on his face.
Then, he turned towards Lyriana and Ambrosia and questioned,
“Do you still wish to protect that filth?”
Lyriana bit her lip in frustration, then, she waved her hand and 30 Portals formed behind him, 30 Divine Stage Elves stepping out of the Portals.
Arcturus and other Divine Stage Cultivators were taken aback.
“Are you crazy!? Even if you involve all the Divine Stage Elves of your Kingdom, you will still lose, not just that, it would be the end of the Elven Kingdom!
Why are you going this far for a mere child!? Have you lost your mind!?”
Aurelian shouted, she couldn’t understand Lyriana’s reasoning.
Lyriana, however, clenched her fists in anger and frustration, she had no other option,
‘I shouldn’t have trusted him…’
She cursed her past self for falling for Nux’s tricks but then,
“I was confused at first, but I guess this is the reason why she told me to tell you this.”
Suddenly, Ambrosia muttered to herself, before turning towards Lyriana and,
“Lyriana Frostwillow, this is a message from Nux,
‘You or your people won’t be dying for siding with me.'”
Lyriana’s expression changed.
“I have a lot of questions, but I guess I don’t have the time to explain them, anyways, can you open the Portal to the [Core]? I have a surprise for you.
It would be great if you could do it quickly, since I don’t think he would be patient enough to hold on.”
Ambrosia continued.
Sensing something, Lyriana quickly opened the Portal to the [Core] and from inside,
A being stepped out,
A being whose entrance even surprised the Dragon Lord.
The only being who could match Dragon Lord in entire of Yrniel.
“Alaric…”
Arcturus muttered.
The Vampire King stared at the Dragon Lord with an emotionless look on his face, behind him, 50 Divine Stage Vampires walked out and again, all the cultivators who were witnessing this scene were horrified.
The Dragons and the Vampires.
Two Strongest Forces in the world were going against each other with everything they had.
Just for the sake of a child.
“Alaric, what are you doing?”
Arcturus questioned.
He couldn’t understand, no matter how much Potential Nux had, Alaric would never risk an all-out battle between the Vampires and the Dragons.
“I did not like how you threatened me last time.”
Alaric replied.
“It felt as if you were disrespecting me because of my cautious nature.”
“Is that what they told you to agitate you!?”
Arcturus was enraged.
“No one agitated me, Arcturus.
Unlike you, I have a decent level of control over my emotions.”
“So your decent level of control leads you to destroy Yrniel?”
“My decent level of control tells me when you when to act.
If you truly believe that you can act like the Leader of Yrniel just by holding Yrniel hostage, then I believe it is time to show you where I stand.”
Alaric’s expression was calm however, the more he spoke, the angrier Arcturus got.
In the end, he turned towards the three Human Emperors and,
“If you any of you help me here, the Dragons will form Alliance with that Empire.”
“And if any of you help him here, I will see it as it you declaring War against the Blood Kingdom.”
Alaric was quick to speak up.
“The same goes for the Elven Kingdom. If you three decide to help Arcturus, the Elven Kingdom will treat you as an enemy.”
Lyriana joined in.
“I do not wish to take any sides in the matter, the Empire of Eternity declares its neutrality.”
Aurelian was the first to speak.
“The Celestria Empire will remain neutral as well.”
“The same goes for the Zhephyrion Empire.”
The Three Human Emperors stepped back, offending Vampires and Elves at the same time was foolish.
“You…”
Arcturus’s anger soared to new heights.
In the end, he raised his arm and,
“Dragons!
The Enemies have numbers but these numbers never scared us in the first place!
Show these bastards what happens when one goes against the mighty Dragons!”
Arcturus ordered.
“RROOOOAOAAARRRRR!!!”
The 50 Dragons flying in the air roared at the same time.
Alaric’s expression changed the moment he saw that, he was about to say something, but then,
“What in the world is happening here?”
A voice was heard.
