Chapter 353 - The Ignitias Kingdom
-----
Noah walked outside of the manor and admired the place around for a bit, and then, Iris, Dante, and Eleanora came out as well, walking around the vast nature, it was beautiful and quite different from the completely red world of the divine realm.
"Uwah, papa… Look…! Green tree…" said Eleanora, she learned how to speak after another month of being born, she was incredibly intelligent, so this was obvious. Meanwhile, her brother still struggled a bit with words.
"Indeed, did you know that Earth once used to have green trees like these too? In fact, we could take out these and put them in our Earth, I don't think anyone here would mind," said Noah while rubbing his chin.
"Did we came here to just steal trees?" sighed Iris.
"Ah, well, I guess I am way too complacent," said Noah.
"You're weak with your children," said Iris with a smile.
"It might be the case…" sighed Noah, realizing he had offered Eleanora stealing a whole first just because she found a green tree pretty.. He was indeed devoted to his daughter.
"No, there's no need. This world is pretty, let's leave it like that," said Eleanora.
"Of course, later on, we can bring it inside the divine realm," said Noah
"Dadaa! Hungy!" said Dante, crawling around.
Noah scanned the area with his mere senses.
"There are many creatures around, we should have a feast with these endemic beasts- Oh?"
Noah suddenly glanced at a large bird-like draconic beast with colorful feathers flying above them.
"Is that a bird?" asked Iris.
"No, it possesses dragon bloodline, but I guess it looks like a bird- Ah, it seems that someone is looking at us through his eyes, interesting! Have they already noticed us?" wondered Noah.
"Should we kill it?" asked Iris.
"Dante, look, that bird came here for you to eat it," said Noah.
"Hmm! Birb!"
Dante suddenly shapeshifted into an enormous three-headed dragon, flying into the skies with its wings and catching the bird with its enormous maws! The bird-like draconic beast wasn't even able to fight back, Dante's speed was way too fast!
CRUNCH!
"CRAAA…!"
Crunch… crunch…
Dante descended and swallowed the bird, finding it yummy.
"Hmm, yummy,"
Noah and Iris quickly realized that something within his Dragon Heart began to shine brightly, something that hasn't happened before when they ate other monsters… It seems that the endemic creatures of this world had a special essence that could enhance Dragon Hearts through consumption!
"Hm, we should begin feasting around here for some time, perhaps you and the rest can get or strengthen your Dragon hearts through these areas… This world is already feeling exciting…" said Noah with a malicious smile, as Dante burped, releasing some colorful feathers.
"Dante, nasty!" said Eleanora, as a wave of Psionic Energy hit Dante over his middle head.
CLASH!
"Augh! Mama… Sis hit me!" cried Dante.
"Eleanora, do not hit your brother!" said Iris while pouting.
"But he nasty!" said Eleanora.
"Eleanora, don't begin this again…" said Noah.
"Okay…"
"Apologize to your brother," said Noah.
"Sorry…" said Eleanora.
Meanwhile, the Elder of the Dragon Village near the Dark Forest screamed in horror.
Through the eyes of his beloved tamed draconic bird, he had seen a small humanoid child turn into a monstrous three-headed dragon and then devour him alive!
Well, he was fine, but he felt as if he was being devoured as well, a sickly sensation rushed through his body as he resisted the urge to throw up.
"Ungh…! I don't really know who they could be but… Those are definitely not good people… My Arco died miserably to them! Gggrr…! I'll go report this to the Kingdom, you two go back to the village and inform this to the rest of the people!" said the Elder, suddenly transforming into his Humanoid form, which was requisite to be allowed to enter into the Ignitias Kingdom, filtering out the thin-blooded that we're unable to become humanoid. Of course, the Elder was also thin-blooded, but he had evolved several times, enough to naturally unlock the Morph Ability.
Seeing the old man with draconic wings fly through the skies, the two little dragon boys were filled with concern and fear, rushing to the village to tell the rest of the dragons in there about the bad news…
Meanwhile, within the Ignitias Kingdom, Drakon Ignitias VII sat over his glorious throne as he heard his little daughter sing. His appearance was like that of an old man in his 40's, with short black beard and hair, sharp crimson-red eyes, and a muscular frame, part of his body was covered by scales, his hands and feet had armor-like scales and sharp claws, and he had enormous wings behind his back, all of them red-colored. He had a pair of glorious horns that spiraled upwards, and in the middle of his forehead, he held a bright red jewel emanating a strong essence.
His young daughter, Draknea Ignitias was singing a beautiful song about the epics of their culture, her voice was beautiful and delicate, and her humanoid appearance resembled a cute young girl in her 17's, despite being over 50 years of age. Although such age was considered young too. Her long and black hair shined brightly before the flames ignited across the incredibly vast hall, many members of royalty heard her song.
However, in the middle of it, a guard rushed towards the king.
"What is it?! You dare interrupt me when I am hearing my daughter sing?!" asked the King.
"T-This is very important, King! A Dungeon has appeared in the Dark Forest, and it holds strong dragons inside… It might seem to have been brought as some sort of invasion method… W-What if it is an enemy nation!?" asked the guard.
"Eh?! This… is this true?!" asked Drakna.
"Y-Yes, my lord!" said the guard.
"Damn it… Send a recognition army, if it fails, we'll have to send the Elite… Now go!"
The guard nodded as he flew away through the window, as Drakna began to clap after his daughter finished singing.
Turmoil was about to befall the Ignitias Kingdom as an otherworldly force would emerge to devour everything within its path…
