Chapter 167 The Return of the Dragon Clan

"That's weird. According to my speed, I should have reached this distance a long time ago."

During the flight, Alpha's puzzled voice was heard.

The fruit seemed to be right in front of it, but after flying for a long time, it didn't seem to show any sign of getting closer.

Instead, it is getting bigger and bigger, from the size of a fist at the beginning to the size that one person can hug now, and it is still continuing to grow.

"We didn't see an ocean anywhere."

Manta was a little anxious.

The elder clearly said that once we see the fruit, we will soon reach the ocean, and then we will enter the Kingdom of the Sky by crossing the ocean. What went wrong?
"Roar!"

Unexpectedly.

At this moment, Kaba seemed to sense something, suddenly let out a low roar, and suddenly accelerated towards the fruit.

"Kaba, what's wrong with you?" Rhodes asked in the strong wind.

"Don't run around! It's dangerous here!" Alpha hurriedly chased after him.

Because he was flying horizontally, his speed was very fast and he caught up with Kaba in a short while.

But as they flew, they realized something was wrong.

wow~
wow~
The sound of surging waves continued to echo in my ears.

The fruit, which originally could only be hugged by one person, suddenly grew rapidly in size in front of them, and their horizontal flying posture gradually turned inverted and turned into a vertical downward dive.

"Something's wrong!"

"Gravity is changing!"

Rhodes was shocked.

When he looked up again, what he saw was not the blue fruit, but a huge blue planet!

As they approached, the endless ocean came into view. The sound of waves crashing against each other made Alpha and Manta open their eyes wide instantly.

"Ocean! There really is an ocean!"

"The fruit of the sky tree is actually a small world!"

At this moment, they finally understood why the elder said that after seeing the fruit, they would be able to see the ocean.

It's not that the ocean is near the fruit, but that the fruit itself is the ocean!

A small world covered by ocean!

“It’s really amazing!”

Manta's eyes lit up. This was definitely a legendary adventure for him.

It turns out that the legendary country of the sky is actually the fruit of the sky tree.

If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, who could believe this magical scene?
"According to the elder, he saw the dragon only after he sank to the bottom of the sea. Hurry up, we are about to start diving!"

As a soul body, Alpha does not need to breathe.

After he finished speaking, he and Kaba plunged into the sea and moved quickly towards the deep seabed.

Rhodes quickly raised his hand and used the shield to protect himself and the barbarian tower again, looking at the surging water around him with anticipation.

As they continued to dive, a ray of light began to appear in the dark seabed, and the original downward gravity slowly turned into an upward force.

Although he was diving to the bottom of the sea, Rhodes had the illusion that he was swimming upstream. It was an extremely strange feeling.

at last.

Wait until the light ahead becomes brighter.

They rushed out of the seabed and came to the surface of the sea at the other end.

"Is there really sea on both sides?"

Rhodes opened his mouth in astonishment and looked at the calm surroundings.

If the environment had not changed so drastically, he would have even thought that Alpha dived into the water, circled around, and then resurfaced.

"Palace! It's the palace the elder is talking about!"

Suddenly, Manta exclaimed, interrupting their thoughts.

Rhodes and Alpha, who were still looking around, raised their heads and saw a vibrant island in the distance and a majestic palace in the center of the island.

Above the palace, huge figures were circling back and forth. They soon noticed their arrival and flew over here.

"who are you?"

"How dare you trespass into the dragon clan's island!"

The huge monsters fell down with a loud bang and appeared on the shore with vigilant eyes.

But he didn't notice Alpha's body shaking violently in the sea.

"Xinlezas! Katie! Kylo! You are still alive!"

Boom——

The sea water exploded.

Alpha jumped out of the water and landed on the shore with an extremely excited look on his face.

The dragons whose names were called were stunned for a moment, then they widened their eyes and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

"Alpha, you are Alpha, right?!"

The first to react was the female fire dragon named Katie. The deafening sound caused violent waves on the sea and made the entire surrounding area restless.

"alpha?"

"I seemed to have heard Alpha's name just now."

"Alpha is still alive?"

"Is he back?"

"Where where?"

"It seems to be on the coast!"

Along with shouts, hundreds of giant dragons flew out from the palace and several nearby mountains, and all gathered here.

Manta, who saw this scene for the first time, opened his mouth wide and stood there in a daze.

"Giant dragons, so many giant dragons, is this the Kingdom of the Sky that the elders talked about?"

Not to mention him, even Rhodes was very shocked. He didn't expect that there were so many dragons alive here.

As soon as they landed, they surrounded Alpha, and the whole scene was in chaos.

"It's really Alpha!"

"I'm so glad you're still alive!"

"How did you know we were here?"

"Since Alpha has returned, does that mean we can go out now?"

"How's the situation outside? Has the woodland recovered?"

"Lord Dragon God was right!"

The dragons chattered, exchanged pleasantries and asked questions non-stop, and Alpha answered while asking about what was going on here.

Rhodes listened nearby and finally understood the general situation.

It turns out that these dragons, like Alpha, were once the younger generation of elemental dragons of various systems.

In that upheaval, they suffered heavy losses. In the end, in order to preserve the fire, the Dragon God exhausted all his strength and built a small world on the top of the Sky Tree to protect the only remaining dragon.

And this stay lasted for a full three hundred years. There were once tens of thousands of dragons, but now there are only a hundred or so left, which can be said to be only one in ten.

"Three hundred years! How come there's no news from you in such a long time? I thought you were all dead." Alpha said in a trembling voice.

"Do you think we don't want to? In order to isolate the pollution of the black soil, Lord Dragon God used his own life to set up a barrier and block this space. We can't get out at all." The thunder dragon named Xin Leisas sighed.

When the Dragon God was mentioned, the expressions of all the dragons became depressed, and they were finally no longer as excited as they were in the beginning.

This made Rhodes and Manta stunned. They couldn't get out of here. Could it be that the Dragon God was the one who sent Elder Tata back?

It seems reasonable to think this way. After all, only the Dragon God can achieve that level.

"I see."

Although he had expected the Dragon God to have fallen, Alpha still looked dejected after learning the truth: "So you sealed me up in the first place because you were afraid that even this place would be polluted?"

In order to protect the dragon clan, the Dragon God paid too much. He could obviously use his own power to forcibly break through the plane and leave here.

But in the end he chose the same path as the Archdruid and sacrificed himself to save his people.

Thinking of this, he looked up and looked around: "What about my father? And what about the other clan leaders and elders?"

"They're all dead..." Katie said slowly.

The dragon clan always speaks directly, saying what they think without beating around the bush like humans do.

"That's it..."

Alpha seemed to have anticipated this result and did not show much emotion.

After all, even though the dragon race is an immortal species, their lifespan is limited. Like the elves, they can only live up to a thousand years at most, and most of them die at the age of eight hundred.

Three hundred years ago, the clan leaders and elders of each tribe were basically six or seven hundred years old, and even if they survived, they would not have much time left.

"Let's not talk about these sad things for now." Alpha smiled, "I came here this time for another very important matter."

"whats the matter?"

“Has the woodland really recovered?”

"Can we finally get out?"

The dragons were very excited.

Although it is safe here, in comparison, they still miss the days of the Holy Mountain of Elements more.

Even though it is dilapidated now, it is better than staying here and sleeping forever.

"I remember Lord Dragon God said that if Alpha returns, it means we can leave here, and it will also bring hope to the forest. Could it be that..."

Shinrezas looked around and finally noticed Cabba beside Alpha and Rod on his back.

When the dragons felt the breath of the black dragon and the Moon Goddess on them, their eyes widened.

"Yes, this is the hope that Lord Dragon God mentioned!"

Alpha quickly introduced the identities of Rhodes and Kaba, and seemed a little proud that he was shouldering such an important task.

however.

As soon as he finished speaking, the dragons were already in a commotion. They pushed him away and surrounded Rhodes and Kaba, shouting and yelling.

alpha:……

No.

Where is the promised fraternal love?

You guys have just left me alone after not seeing me for so many years?
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry and invite the envoy and His Highness to the palace!"

Amidst the shouting and screaming, the dragons surrounded Rhodes and Kaba and left without saying a word, rushing towards the palace.

Only Alpha and the completely neglected Barbarian Tower were left, disheveled in the wind.

"Let's go, we'll go over there too. They should have something important to do."

Alpha said as he followed his tribe members.

Needless to say, Manta has been in high spirits since he arrived here, looking around with curiosity at this legendary "Kingdom of the Sky".

When they passed through the palace and came to the platform behind the palace, they saw five giant dragon statues surrounding the platform, and an extremely domineering black dragon sitting in the center.

It was actually the statue of the Dragon God and the five elemental dragon patriarchs!
And at this time.

Rhodes and Kaba were already standing in the magic circle in front of the Dragon God statue. A terrifying black light shot up into the sky, completely enveloping them.

"This is... the breath of dark elements!"

Inside the magic circle, Rhodes was shocked. He felt a dark energy pouring into his body, making the black lines on his body light up.

To know.

These black lines have appeared on his body since he came into this world, but no one knows what their function is.

Now, with the influx of dark energy, he finally understood what this thing was.

Black represents the night.

Green represents life.

Aren’t these the two divine powers controlled by the Moon Goddess?
Could it be that, after the power of life, his power of night is finally awakening?
As if in response to Rhodes's guess, a message suddenly popped up.

[Unlock dark mastery and automatically gain mastery of all elements. ]

Mastery of all elements!
Rhodes was overjoyed when he saw this message.

Does this mean he can now learn other types of magic?

I'll just say it.

You, Moon Goddess, are the Lord of Elements, but the messenger you chose only knows nature magic and life magic. This is a bit too disappointing.

Look at those magicians out there, which one of them doesn't know several types of magic?

As soon as you reach the first level, you will be greeted by all kinds of fireballs, wind blades, and ice shields. Anything that can sense the magic element can be cast, but the power and choice will be different.

But now he only knows natural life and water-based rainfall magic.

Other systems can be used, but they feel very sluggish when used, so it is better to convert them into natural elements.

really.

It was really a good decision to come to the Kingdom of Sky this time.

"Your Highness Kaba, what's wrong with you?!"

Suddenly, a scream interrupted Rhodes' thoughts.

He looked in the direction of the sound and found Kaba lying on the ground like a sleeping puppy, kicking his short legs wildly, as if he had some nightmare of being chased.

Then, its whole body twitched, it woke up from the nightmare, and looked around in a daze.

When he saw the statue of the Dragon God, he immediately ran over and rubbed his head against it, making a whimpering sound.

"Why, did you recognize this is your dad?"

Rhodes was filled with emotion. He was now basically certain that Kaba was the descendant of the Dragon God.

As for why his eggs appeared in the druid's nest, it is unknown.

As the black light gradually dissipated, the black on Rhodes' body also gradually faded away and returned to its original appearance, as if nothing had changed.

Alpha and the others raised their heads, looked at the circle of ocean that enveloped this space, and exclaimed again.

"The barrier has disappeared..."

"We can go out!"
