MD is an idiot!
Hope had witnessed the madness of politicians in the magnetic field world and thought that madness was a characteristic of that world, but she didn't expect that these guys were still the same in the magical world.
After looking around again, Hope realized that there was nothing more noteworthy about the surface of the arena, so he decided to go underground to take a look at the dragon's tomb.
That's a proper dragon tomb, not some abstract maze created by the earth god dragon. Just thinking about seeing a dragon's tomb for the first time is quite exciting.
Under the power of earth magic, Hope's body slowly sank.
Ignoring all obstacles, they made their way to the bottom of Toms Mountain, where they found a hidden paradise—a huge underground cave. However, the sight before them greatly disappointed Hope.
The underground cave glowed faintly, and endless dragon-shaped skeletons covered the ground. Time had not completely worn them away, but they had long since decayed under various mosses.
I thought it was a dragon's grave.
I never expected it to be a group, and in a mass grave no less...
Hope abandoned his unwarranted expectations; there was nothing here worth lingering for. With a sweep of his magic, he discovered the hidden passage leading to the 'Eclipse Gate'.
Just as he was about to leave the tomb, he suddenly realized something.
A longsword, entirely golden, appeared in Hope's hand.
Looking at the slightly trembling divine golden sword, he heard the sorrowful whimper of the golden dragon, Vernes. Could this cruel dragon also be so sad?
Suddenly, Hope understood why.
He looked back at the decaying dragon's tomb, indeed the burial place of dragons, but 400 years ago, on July 7th...
Here, under the joint efforts of the dragon race's radical and coexistence factions, human dragon slayers were also allowed to participate in the dragon race's grand event—the Dragon King Festival.
This is a war that could determine the fate of dragons and humans.
It was in this bloody battle that a true Dragon King was born, surpassing even the Dragon Kings of the Dragon Clan, a being who was not a dragon but was superior to dragons.
Its name is... Acnologia!
That day marked the annihilation of the dragon race and the birth of the demonic dragon. Therefore, this bloody battle was later known as:
A feast of "dragons", "humans" and "demons".
So this is the site of the Dragon King's final Dragon King Festival. No wonder the Golden Dragon was sad, and Hope, unusually, didn't poke at its sore spot.
After all, besides the evil dragons, many dragon slayers who genuinely fought for humanity's survival also died at the Dragon King Festival, as well as dragons willing to show their claws to their own kind for the sake of peace.
The latter two deserve three seconds of silence from Hope.
Three seconds later, just as Hope turned around, the Golden Dragon made another strange sound, "Human, don't go yet, something's not right here!"
Hope glanced at the dragon skeletons scattered on the ground but didn't notice anything unusual.
After 400 years, these dragon bones may look intimidating, but they actually crumble at the slightest touch, and all their magical power has long since dissipated.
Hmm... magic?
Hope suddenly realized the blind spot: this place where dragons perished had absolutely no magic!
As the former world overlords, the dragon race was in a class of its own, and even if they had been dead for 400 years, they should have left no magic behind.
Moreover, with so many dragons dying at the hands of humans they looked down upon, coupled with the hatred of their genocide, it's no wonder that their overwhelming resentment, mixed with the remaining magic power of the dragons, would form any kind of monster.
But the dragon's tomb before us was eerily "clean".
Apart from a pile of bones that were now useless, there was no magic or resentment left.
It's like... it's been taken away.
Chapter 375 Emerald Dragon
The cause of the tomb's anomalies is currently unknown, and logically, we should abandon it here, as there is no need to go deeper. Moreover, there is a more important "Eclipse Gate" to deal with.
But Hope's curiosity got the better of her.
Then naturally we should investigate it thoroughly.
The anomalies in the Dragon's Tomb seemed impossible to investigate, but magic is not such an inconvenient thing. There are all sorts of strange things in this world, and Hope just happens to have a spell that can help him investigate.
White magic emanated from Hope, spreading outwards in ripples towards the vast tomb, slowly illuminating the dark underground space.
This is an anomaly among dragon-slaying magic, and one of the few magics in the world that can involve the soul.
Dragon Soul activated.
The residual magic of a dragon after its death can be taken away, and the accumulated resentment can be transferred through special magic, but the soul is not so easily moved.
Hope refused to believe that with so many dragons dead here, not a single wisp of their souls remained.
Under the influence of the "Dragon Soul," the entire skeletal remains in the tomb began to vibrate, causing cracks to appear in the already fragile and decaying bones, with a constant cracking sound like chewing potato chips.
A magical scan revealed that Hope had indeed discovered more than a dozen dragon souls lingering there. They were ancient and fragile, and most of them were so weak that they could not withstand any further action and would shatter at the slightest touch.
Only one soul could still be communicated with.
Hope immediately used the 'Dragon Soul' to infuse it with magic, awakening the soul.
Within the vortex of magic, a colossal emerald dragon suddenly opened its eyes, roaring as it opened its blood-red maw toward Hope. However, Hope stared expressionlessly at the enormous dragon head so close to him.
Seeing that he hadn't scared Hope, the dragon grew bored. He loved seeing humans' frightened expressions because they always amused him.
Why aren't you afraid of me?
Looking at the somewhat comical emerald dragon before him, Hope retorted, "Why should I be afraid of a soul I awakened along with you?"
"Hahahaha, that's true."
The dragon chuckled and looked around before saying, "My name is Kilkonis, also known as the Emerald Dragon. I never imagined I'd been dead for so long."
"Dragon magic that can awaken my soul, human, are you a descendant of the celestial dragon? Or a descendant of the spirit dragon?"
Neither of them.
The "Dragon Soul" magic, also known as the "Spirit Dragon Slayer" magic, does indeed come from the power of the spirit dragon, but it has nothing to do with Hope, because he learned this magic from Reis.
To his surprise, judging from the Emerald Dragon's tone, Wendy's Dragon Mother also possessed the power to awaken the souls of the dead.
Healing, soul, enhancement... and he's also a Dragon Slayer Mage.
It seems this little girl is destined for great things.
Hopper, too lazy to argue with the Emerald Dragon, directly asked him if he knew the reason for the abnormal magic in the Dragon's Tomb.
The jade dragon turned its head away, "Hmph, I won't say anything... Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
Seeing the Emerald Dragon convulsing from the shock of the Dragon Soul, Hope planted the Divine Golden Sword in the ground, temporarily dispelling the shield against the Golden Dragon.
"Kilkonis, don't be naughty."
"Otherwise, this guy will end up like you."
The moment Hope revealed the divine golden sword, the Emerald Dragon had already sensed that part of the sword's material was dragon, but it never expected that it would be that guy.
Vernes of the Golden Dragon Clan, a conceptual dragon whose attack methods were weak and pathetic, yet who was born invincible...
It was actually made into a sword?!
The jade dragon thought it could be arrogant just because it was a soul, but it didn't expect there to be a master. So it immediately became honest and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize myself just now. Please forgive me."
Seeing Kirkonis slide down his knees so quickly, the Golden Dragon cursed, "Kirkonis! You spineless bastard! I'll f*** you!"
Jade Dragon curled his lip. "Can backbone feed you?"
Their lives are in someone else's hands, and I don't know what this guy Vernes is so arrogant about? Hasn't he heard of that old saying?
Those who know the current affairs are handsome.
Because Jin Shenlong used very foul language, he was quickly punished by Hope's large hand, who used an enchantment to turn him back into a mute, and Jin Shenlong, who was passionately spewing insults, immediately quieted down.
Having served its purpose of making an example of someone, Hope sheathed the divine golden sword, dispelled the 'Dragon Soul' current that could affect the soul from the Emerald Dragon, and asked the same question again.
The Emerald Dragon couldn't explain why the magic and resentment in the Dragon's Tomb had disappeared.
He died long ago, and it's incredibly lucky that his soul has survived for over 400 years. He's usually forced into a deep sleep, and if it weren't for Hope's magic waking him up, his soul would have dissipated on its own in a few more years.
"So you have no idea what happened here?"
"Haha, that's it."
Emerald Green looked like a husky with his grinning face, but he provided Hope with another piece of information: "About ten days ago, I was awakened by a powerful magic."
"Then I saw a human run out from over there and disappear in the blink of an eye. The magic emanating from her was the second strongest I had ever seen, second only to Acnologia, who killed me."
The Emerald Dragon pointed in a direction, and Hope looked and found that it was the hidden path leading to the 'Eclipse Gate'.
This was truly an unexpected delight. I had intended to investigate the reason for the disappearance of magic in the Dragon's Tomb, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. That mysterious person probably never imagined that a soul would watch him leave.
Showing your chicken feet, little blackie.
"What does that person look like? What are their distinguishing features?"
Hope couldn't wait to ask the question. As long as there was a specific description, he could use the "Dragon Slayer of Law" to conduct a continent-wide investigation.
Emerald Green thought for a moment, "That person was wearing armor, but his whole body was covered by a magical cloak that seemed to have anti-spy function. The only thing I could see clearly was that the person's right hand was a white mechanical arm."
"Oh, by the way, that guy was a woman."
"How did you figure that out?" Hope asked, somewhat puzzled.
Emerald Green smiled slightly, "You've seen men's armor with two round bumps on the front, that must be women's armor."
Powerful magic, white mechanical arm, female...
Hope stroked his chin, and the first thing that came to mind was Athena, but he immediately dismissed the idea.
For Athena to be forced to take the risk of traveling back from the future, she must have encountered a major problem that she couldn't solve. Given Athena's personality, she would definitely come to her friend for help.
But so many days have passed and there's still no news. So that mysterious person can't be Athena.
Who could this mysterious person be?
Armor... it can't be Erza, can it?
Isn't that even more absurd...?
Hope denied that the mysterious man was someone she knew; otherwise, having risked traveling back in time, she would have sought him out as the strongest to solve her problem.
