The saintess heard Valerian’s request and nodded. She waved everyone to sit down. Boo-too also took a seat at the table. The old lady recalled the mories and said, "Everything began to fall apart when Divinus and Flos managed to form a magical bond with Dragon King and Dragon Queen."
The people fell silent as they heard the story. The lady continued, "From what Divinus told , he and Flos had been traveling the world. His Majesty Dracos also happened to be traveling the world with the dragon queen Senium.
It was a chance encounter, and the two pairs were visiting the dryad realm. King Dracos and Lady Senium were discussing the matter of magical folk alliance, and Divinus and Flos were also called over because Divinus was the first human to master all seven elents. While Flos was his wife, and she was a formidable lady with lots of connections. She proved very helpful in negotiating things with the human leaders.
During this eting, the western continent suffered from a sudden outburst of the Dark Wolf God worshipped by the Valkyrians. Divinus fought bravely and helped the other Magical leaders wound the dark wolf and seal him. In the battle, he saved a lot of magical folks and earned praise.
However, Lady Senuim was injured, and thus she was taken back to the realm of the dryads. In her critical condition, she could only lay down the egg before it was completely ford. The egg was cracked, and just when Lady Senium’s grief almost consud the dryad realm. Flos cast a spell to preserve it.
Lord Dracos and Lady Senium took a liking to the two and ford a bond to show that Humans and Magicals can exist together. The entire thing was blown up and spread across the world. Immortuous was naturally a receiver. However, the impact of the news was sothing he could not expect.
Divinus and Flos decided to settle in the eastern continent when they returned. People from all over the world began to travel over to seek them. The people revered them because they had an excellent reputation and their skills. The dragon companions only added to the charm.
Tyrant Immortuous asked Divinus to help him make a device that could locate dragon treasures. This project surprised and captivated my son. He began to engage in research and neglected a lot of things. Conversely, Tyrant Immortuous began to harbor designs on your mother."
Valerian narrowed his gaze, and his battle aura and mana began to flow quickly. He was angry, but Fortuna patted his shoulder to calm him down. Misericordia continued, "Flos argued with him in front of the populace. This humiliation made it Immortuous to break contact again.
Divinus was unaware of all this, so when he finished the device, Immortuous gave him a herb that would allow his child to be born healthy and born with the might of a dragon. Immortuous was born after his mother consud the blood essence of a Blood Tyrant Tiger, a magical beast with the highest ferocity. Thinking his friend was giving him an elixir, Divinus accepted the herb and fed it to Flos.
The effect of the poison was not imdiate but would take a lot of ti. He wanted to avoid suspicion. One such ti, Immortuous went on a battle and was severely injured. Divinus rushed to his aid and watched his friend suffer, and he used his mana knowledge to recast his entire body by channeling five elents.
He suffered ultimate pain, and the reward was half immortality."
Valerian asked, "What happened then?"
Boo-too said, "Immortuous decided to hold a sparring match with Divinus with Dracos as an audience. The battle was completely one-sided, and when Divinus humbly conceded, the Tyrant drove his palm knife through his chest. He said, ’You are so naive, Divinus. So naive to think that you can have the things that were mine. You are just a commoner, a pathetic little nobody.’
Divinus could not believe what happened and passed away. Dracos was implicated, but he managed to leave the place. He could not survive without his companion. The magical bond was broken.
Immortuous did not wish to let Dracos go and chased after him."
Fortuna asked, "What do you an, did not want to let him go?"
Boo-too replied, "He wanted to ta him as his magical companion. The two fought at a place called the Valley of Death. Dracos laid waste to a major part of Gladius’s army. His fire breath lted them. That was not all. Dracos defeated Immortuous in battle and then vaporized himself. He knew that if he passed away naturally, Immortuous would use his corpse as a trophy, and the battle between them was endless."
Misericordia said, "That day, the entire world shook by the roar of the dragon king. He commanded the dragonkin to block the eastern continent and everyone else to wait till the true successor returns."
Boo-too picked up where the old lady left and said, "Senium and Flos found out about the poison around the sa ti. However, they were naive and did not tell Divinus as well. After Dracos passed away, Senium was enraged and wanted to destroy the entire eastern continent. However, she had to send Flos and you to safety. So after the last command, she left the place."
Fortuna clenched her fist and said, "I wish to kill him right now."
Valerian sighed and said, ’Do not worry. He will pay for what he has done.’
Boo-too nodded and said, "Since you have your answers, shall we leave for the Valley of Death?"
Valerian nodded, but Misericordia asked, "Your Excellency, would it be alright if I keep my grandson here for a few days? I might never get this chance again."
Boo-too thought about it and nodded. She said, "Two days, and then I will take you to the Bloomkin world."
Valerian nodded and thanked her. Fortuna said, "It is good, in the anti, learn all you can about Immortuous from Her eminence. I will return to the Dragon Kingdom to discuss a few things with the elder."
The young man nodded.
...
The Gladius empire was preparing for war on the eastern continent. Valerian did not know that all the hounds killed by him and Telia were sent back to the doorstep of the Tyrant under Fortuna’s command, and a ssage was delivered.
"Deceiving insect, prepare for your judgnt."
This sentence seed to have offended all the loyal pets of the Tyrant. His generals had begun preparing for battle. The youths were being recruited forcefully to fight against the enemy soon.
...
The old saintess pampered and talked a lot with Valerian for two days. The young man learned a lot of things about his father from the lady and was grateful to her. He was content. This lady was his only blood-related family mber in this world. Valerie also learned a lot from Misericordia, and it was thanks to the old lady the little girl agreed to let Valerian go over to the bloomkin realm.
After two days, Boo-too arrived at the Haven, and Fortuna returned to et Valerian.
The Dragon Queen spoke in his mind, ’The eastern forces are on the move. It will not be long before that bastard will attempt to get past the barrier.’
Valerian nodded and said, ’Have the people stay alert. If he breaks the barrier, have the guardians retreat, all they would have to mind is mobility. Do not let them pass and harass the forces day and night with sudden raids. Make them suffer ntal pain and ss up the physical too.’
Fortuna was surprised and Valerian said, ’The aim is not to kill the army filled with forces troops but to make the loyalists suffer. They shall not survive this war like how Tyrant wanted to erase my and my parents’ nas. Their nas shall be erased too.’
Fortuna nodded. She knew that Valerian was not going to forgive anyone of the people involved in this matter. Valerian thought and said, ’Have the guardian elders deal with the generals of the Tyrant. The magical folk can deal with the magical beasts without harming them. As for the Army, let the humans from the Western continent pay attention to it. They should be sufficient to deal with them.
The people from the Dragon Temple will join them. The people from the order of the rcy will look after the injured and provide treatnt.’
Fortuna nodded and said, "The other magical folks agree with this united front after all. Immortuous is not after us only. He is after the world and the thoughts of the people. They also seek an end to his fear."
Valerian nodded and wanted to talk more when Boo-too said, "You two can talk later. First, arrange the ans of transport to the people who wish to fight against the Tyrant."
Fortuna glared at Boo-too, but the latter ignored her completely as she said, "Valerian, co along now. Ti is short."
Valerian nodded, and Boo-too waved her hand and opened a portal in the void. Fortuna said, "Be careful, and do not die."
