The sudden white figure frightened Michael greatly. His instincts kicked in as he imdiately activated the Lightning Dash to retreat before grabbing the unconscious baby dragon from the ground. After retreating several ters away from the figure, he stared vigilantly at the figure that had just appeared.
Only now did Michael see the figure's appearance clearly. He was a middle-aged man who seed to be in his late or mid-forties but the man's calm face still contained the residual handsoness of his youth. He did not seem like the average man, his distant eyes were filled with calmness as if he had no worries. The man radiated a noble holy aura that would make a commoner kneel down to worship him as a God. However, his body seed rather ethereal. He did not seem to be corporeal.
With the appearance of the man, an indescribable pressure imdiately began to perate the surroundings. At this very mont, the entire world seed to freeze, even ti stopped. He was familiar with this feeling, it was just as whenever he entered the system.
[Warning!]
[The host is under a telepathic attack!]
[Imdiate firewall against telepathic attacks recomnded!]
[Does the host wish to upgrade the firewall to level 2? The upgrade will cost the host 8,000 badass points]
"Do it" He was experiencing a mind-exploding headache as soone was hitting him in the head with a hamr. The pain gradually lessened after he ordered the system to upgrade the firewalls that he previously used against the SilverMoon girls' telepathic attract to level 2. He then sent a jolt of lightning through the baby dragon's body to wake him up.
"And system scan the place for the teleportation array and notify when you're ready to teleport away"
"Grrr! What just happened? Whoa, what's that?" the baby dragon hissed angrily before being shocked by the ethereal figure floating in front of them.
Lailah was lying on the ground without moving. Just the pressure from the man was enough to make her lose consciousness.
Half Immortal!
This thought occurred to both Michael and the baby dragon. The man floated three ters in the air. He stared fixedly at him and the baby dragon, while a sliver of shock appeared in his eyes, and soon, the surprise turned into a fit of anger.
"Dark Lord" Michael's face imdiately beca grim hearing the man identify him as Dark Lord sohow. However, Michael did not plan to bluff his way out because he had already sensed this man knew exactly who he was.
Knowing that there's no point in acting innocent, Michael willed the system to equip Lucifer's suit of armor because if this old man was looking for the Dark Lord, he should et the Dark Lord.
This ti the ethereal figure stared at him speechlessly in a sudden shock and it was not only him but the baby dragon also looked startled to see Michael in this form.
"Who am I talking to?" he asked the man while slowly walking towards him.
"The man who hunted down your followers and killed them like they were a bunch of wild dogs even before you appeared in this world. The Fifth Supre Guardian, Andreas McLeod"
Andreas McLeod was the Supre Guardian of the Guardian Guild. When the Elon continent was controlled by the order of death in ancient tis, it was him who erged at the most crucial mont after all the powerful and influential organizations at that ti were controlled by them. He single-handedly killed many powerful mbers of the order and led a group of Elder Guardians to eradicate the order by himself, preventing the order from reaching out to the rest of the world. This was the reason why the continent had its current peace because the order of death was an evil organization that did countless evil deeds across the continent.
A sliver of surprise flashed across Michael's eyes,
"And the man who tried to kill ever since I stepped into The Treacherous Ocean and failed" he sneered without even a hint of fear in his heart. Although the ethereal form in front of him was half immortal, Michael believed that he couldn't harm him because if he could, he would have done it by now.
The pressure around Michael increased significantly but the newly upgraded firewall kept the pressure from reaching both Michael and his pet.
But quickly the pressure disappeared from the place as an arrogant smile appeared on Andreas's face.
"Leave this world while you still can Dark Lord"
"You have so nerve, you're nothing but a sliver of left behind soul" the baby dragon spoke in Michael's stead. The man turned his gaze towards the baby dragon,
"So it's true, Edros's descendent has a Forest dragon as his foe" he then turned his gaze back at Michael
"Thousands of years ago, the guardians eradicated the world of your followers, Dark Lord, they will do it again and this ti, they will end the darkness once and for all. The world is and will be better without you"
"Hahahaha" Michael burst into evil laughter after hearing the man. The man seed to have really believed the fact that the world is in better shape now.
"Do you really think the world is better now? How long have you been stuck here?" Michael questioned the man and continued,
"And don't even start on the Guardians, they are now just a bunch of corrupt politicians. This world is not better, this world is sick, and I'm here to cure it and if your guardians stood in my way, I will tear them apart" The baby dragon felt the cold murderous aura he's radiating while speaking and realized he was not kidding around.
"Humph, don't act like you care, all you want is to control and rule this world, strip away everyone free will, make the people in this world your slaves"
"I don't know anything about stripping away free will or making people my slaves but controlling and ruling the world is just what I'm going to do. The guardians can try to stop " the man just stared at him in silence for a few seconds before replying with a calm smile,
"Don't be too arrogant Dark Lord, the guardians may have turned into what you claim but there will be guardians who would gladly give their life fighting you and my successor is already growing stronger each passing day"
Michael took a note in his mind about the next Supre Guardian, if he could find that one, he would kill him or her and eliminate a huge threat but he already knew it won't be that simple.
"And don't even think about killing my successor, I made sure he stays safe from you" Like Andreas read his mind, he spoke with utmost confidence.
"You already marked his death the mont you put him against . If he ever tries to stop from achieving my goals, he will die and I don't make threats, I make promises"
"He will have an army in his command, an army that will hunt you down and kill you. Keeping my successor safe was not the only thing I did, Dark Lord, if you ever try to build the order of death again, the guardians will find you. So you're just a one-man against an army"
"He is not alone," the baby dragon said roaring at Andreas,
"See, I've already begun to build an army to fight against the Guardians"
"Guardians are not the only ones you should be worried about Dark Lord. Each and every champion of the Great clans will unite to fight against you, Edros's descendent, and my successor is just one of the" Under the black mask, Michael frowned slightly. He knew he would be eventually fighting against the guardians but after seeing the confidence in Andreas's eyes, he was sure that each great clan has its own version of supre guardians and would fight him in the future.
However, instead of worrying, he began to feel the excitent rising in his heart because they don't have what he has, the badass system.
"You just made my life a little easier by telling all these pieces of information. Before coming here, Guardians was my only target but now, I will start breaking down all the Great clans one brick at a ti using any ans necessary, after all, I'm the Dark fucking Lord"
The tension between them arose as they both stared at them without uttering a word. Soon afterward, Michael's gaze fell on the two energy balls behind the ethereal figure of Andreas. Looking at his gaze landing the two energy balls, Andreas waved his hand as the two energy balls ca floating towards him
"Let guess, you are keeping this for your successor"
"I can see the energy trace in this place and around the two weird energy balls" the baby dragon spoke looking around the place.
"The teleportation array is here and these balls of energy are connected to the array" Michael was surprised to hear the baby dragon speak like this. He had no idea that the baby dragon could really see the world in a different perspective as well as the energy traces better than any other race. The dragons were the masters of energy tracking and manipulation.
"You didn't show yourself to give tips and tricks did you? if I'm right, the mont I activate the teleportation array, the two energy balls would be teleported to your successor"
"And my successor and his woman will absorb the energy to beco stronger. This Godly energy will make them invincible" Andreas said arrogantly. He knew the Dark Lord can't touch the Godly energy as he made sure of that thousands of years ago.
"System, can I absorb the energy?"
[The system's current level is too low to absorb the First Energy]
Hearing the system, he was slightly disappointed, it would have been a great bitch slap to Andreas if he could absorb the energy in front of him.
[However, the system can severe the connection between the teleportation array and the two energy balls for 3000 badass points]
"If I leave them here, anything can happen. System can you destroy them? if I can't have them then no one should"
[Yes, the system can destroy the balls of energy for 5000 badass points]
