"I heard that the inauguration chamber, where the division leader was officially appointed as a regional champion, was also attacked by terrorists..."
"Yeah…and three days have passed since the incident, yet the division leader still hasn't returned! Do you think that…perhaps…"
"You! Why are you thinking like that?! Maybe they're just keeping the division leader safe inside the city hall. After all, those damned terrorists might return anyti!"
Back at the Raven's Blade Adventurer Guild, the Flashy Ravens Rising division mbers were in complete chaos.
Well, except for the deputy leader, of course, who had been warned of what would happen in advance: Reginald Bodan.
"Aihh! Can you guys shut up? I told you already, didn't I? The division leader has already contacted ! He was just sent to another region for so official registration…and…other stuff! Why don't any of you believe ?!" Regi exclaid in frustration.
It seed he had overplayed his "persona," and now everyone believed he was rely trying to pacify them with lies.
They were correct, though.
However, it was also true that Shye was safe and that they did not need to worry.
As for the division leader in question, he was interrogating the leader of the most notorious terrorist group in all of adthiopia.
"So, why was it a mistake to seal the Black Dragon of Destruction?"
"Because it wasn't an enemy of the White Dragon of Creation but its twin entity. Together, the divinity of the two dragons controls the world's mana flow. If one divinity is removed, the other cannot manage the world's mana flow alone, causing it to go berserk. The result is what you see: mana dungeons erging everywhere to siphon mana from the world in an attempt to contain it.
Unfortunately, in a few more years, there will be too many, and the world's mana will dry up."
This ti, Shye couldn't bring himself to mock the old man.
What he said just made too much sense that it was impossible to write it off as another lie. Stay updated through empire
Moreover, the orb of truth turned blue, aning that the old man wasn't lying.
However, if this was indeed true, then it ant that the world was headed for ruin.
"I'm confused. If the Black Dragon was one of this world's two deities, then why did it attack Yonpo City in the past?"
"That's because it was manipulated to do so."
Seeing that the orb of truth turned blue, Shye had no choice but to believe the old man.
"Manipulated? By who? And how?"
"I don't know exactly how, but the one who did it was none other than that bastard Dweezel."
Hearing the old man pointing fingers at Dweezel Hawkins again, Shye wanted to mock him.
However, since the orb turned blue once more, he could only hear the old man out.
It seed that Dweezel was truly one hell of a bastard—one that was of a greater caliber than this deceptive bald old geezer in front of him.
"And why would he manipulate the black dragon to attack?" Shye asked with narrowed eyes.
"Because the bastard wanted to be immortal. After years of observing his movents and planting a spy in his organization, I discovered that he needed three things: a piece of the Black Dragon of Destruction's divinity, the White Dragon of Creation's teardrop, and a body with a specific kind of talent, which he is still searching for to this day."
Shye didn't want to know the specifics of how the bastard would achieve immortality.
However, it was safe to assu that Dweezel had already obtained the Black Dragon of Destruction's divinity since it was now sealed sowhere deep inside the WAA's headquarters.
As for the White Dragon of Creation's teardrop…
"He already obtained the piece of divinity, correct?" Shye rudely asked.
However, his response almost made the old man jump up and down in glee.
After all, it at least hinted that Shye was concerned about the world's fate; that there was a chance to convince him to join them willingly.
Sanada knew that Shye would likely try to hold onto the system's benefits, but there was a significant difference between being forced to help and choosing to help willingly.
This difference lay in the resolve to undertake difficult tasks for the cause.
If one rely had no choice but to do things due to soone's orders, he/she would hesitate when it cos to pushing through difficult obstacles.
However, if one was willingly fighting for sothing, then one wouldn't hesitate to go through challenges if it ant achieving one's goal.
This was why Sanada told Shye everything, even though it ant the young man he was rather fond of would probably start to hate him.
He wanted Shye to understand that if he didn't willingly help, the world would end, leaving no place for him and his beloved to live peacefully and start a family.
Only, the old geezer forgot to ntion one important thing.
"Yes, and also the White Dragon of Creation's teardrop. All he was missing was a young body with a specific kind of talent. Although we still haven't discovered what body he was looking fo–"
"And what does all of this have to do with our family? Why us? Why ?! There were plenty of youngsters more talented than , weren't there, you old bastard?!"
Looking back, it didn't have to be him, and even without the system, he could have still won Shirley's affection.
After all, if his parents hadn't abandoned him and his little sister, he would have been a seeded candidate for the Colzen Academy Entrance Examination.
Moreover, if the old deceptive geezer hadn't chosen them, he would probably be living comfortably with his girlfriend in so city after graduating from Colzen.
He would be living blissfully unaware, while so other poor soul, chosen in his place, would be dealing with the burden of saving this damned world.
He could've been so much happier!
"It has everything to do with you and your family. Young lad, believe it or not, you're the sole person in this world who can rewrite this old man's wrongs."
