Chapter 369 - Cataclysm (5)
Chapter 369 Cataclysm (5)
As though to confirm Roy’s words, countless bolts of lightning suddenly appeared around the surface of the black spot that had now expanded into a black vortex. These bolts of lightning filled a radius of hundreds of kilometers, looking spectacular.
From afar, it looked like lightning, but in fact, they were cracks, cracks in space! After these black cracks appeared, anyone who knew a little about space magic could feel that space was collapsing silently. An extremely formidable dragon might full of chaotic and crazy power was transmitting from the collapsed space.
Roy and the others were already standing on Rafaro’s forehead, and they could feel Rafaro’s entire body trembling.
“It’s really him!!” Rafaro screamed in horror. “This sensation in my soul can’t be wrong! Damn it! Why did he come out?!”
“Perhaps it’s related to this cataclysm…” Benia looked at the space that was still collapsing with lingering fear. She pointed at Eeofol below and said, “According to the records, Urgash’s resting place is in the depths of this world’s core. This great earthquake in Eofol might have spread to the core and awakened him…”
“That’s unlikely, right?” Julia retorted. “Even if the energy of the earthquake transmitted to the core, I remember there are documents and records that mention that Urgash is in a sealed alternate space like Sheogh where the demon lords are. But the corresponding location of that alternate space is at the center of the planet. How can a simple earthquake affect the alternate space?”
“I don’t know.” Benia spread her hands. “Perhaps Urgash’s injuries have healed, so he wants to come out?”
At this moment, Roy shook his head. “Impossible. Urgash’s injuries haven’t healed!”
The reason why he was so certain was that he was the only one who had come into contact with Urgash recently. He knew very well that although Void power had corroded Urgash, this corrosion should have taken advantage of his weakness before he recovered. Although Void power would bring immense benefits to Urgash, it might not be able to repair his wounds.
It had to be known that Urgash was a true dragon god. His body was immortal, and the only thing that could make him recuperate for such a long time was soul injuries. There was no other explanation for why Urgash’s recovery was taking so long. From the information Roy currently knew, Void power should not be able to repair soul injuries…
So, why has Urgash woken up before his wounds fully recovered and even broke through the spatial barrier set up by Asha when she banished him?
To be honest, this was the thing that Roy could not figure out the most. Just as Julia had said, even if the energy waves of the earthquake were really so powerful and transmitted to the depths of the planet’s core, it was not necessarily possible for them to cross through space to awaken Urgash. If it was that easy to awaken Urgash, the demons would have probably done it ten centuries ago. This was underestimating the power of the Dragon of Order, Asha, too much…
Something must have happened…
Not only did Roy and the others in the sky feel the chaotic and crazy aura of Urgash, at this moment, the dragons, who were still struggling in the catastrophe, and the powerful heroes in the entire world of Ashan felt Urgash’s aura at the same time. Everyone’s faces turned pale.
The seers of the Blind Brothers were especially terrified.
In fact, before the alliance army set off to eliminate Demon Lord Osiris, the various races had sent messengers to find the seers of the Blind Brothers, hoping that they could predict the future of this war through divination. At that time, the seers of the Blind Brothers had seen Demon Lord Osiris being devoured by the flames of war and holy light through crystal balls and prophecy magic, causing the alliance army to begin the expedition with confidence.
Unfortunately, their prophecy did not come true and utterly failed, causing the alliance army to suffer heavy losses in the cataclysm.
Prophecies were not 100% accurate. In fact, during the sixth lunar eclipse war, the seers of the Blind Brothers could not predict it in advance. Things like prophecies often had many variables. If they could truly know everything through prophecy, Ashan would not have had so many disasters. The future would always be in behind a hazy veil. Until the moment the veil was lifted, no one knew whether the face under the veil was beautiful or ugly. Never mind that the war prophecy against Demon Lord Osiris failed. What terrified the seers the most was that they could not predict the appearance of Urgash at all. Although the great catastrophe caused by Demon Lord Osiris severely injured the world of Ashan, it had not totally destroyed the world. Intelligent races often had strong tenacity. As long as they were given some time, they could continue to reproduce. But if the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash, came back, then Ashan would really end!
Only Asha could fight against Urgash, so the seers hurriedly gathered all their strength and began the ritual to seek revelations from the Dragon of Order. But no matter how they prayed, they could not contact Asha.
Because… after Sar-Elam obtained enlightenment from Asha and became the Seventh Dragon, she had completely sealed her mind and heart. After Sar-Elam, no one could touch Asha’s consciousness anymore. This was also the true reason why Arantir had claimed to be the Chosen of Ashas back then, but he was actually a liar.
But speaking of which, the ones who truly fell into great panic were the dragons in the entire Ashan world!
These dragons were all descendants of Asha. Err… strictly speaking, it should be Asha who created the Elemental Dragons, and then the Elemental Dragons created them. In myths and legends, Asha was in the image of a dragon with endless wings, and almost all the dragons in Ashan inherited her image and had dragon wings.
What about Urgash? Urgash did not have wings…
Therefore, even though Urgash was also known as a Dragon of Creation, the dragons of Ashan had nothing to do with him! On the contrary, they and Urgash were true enemies!
When they sensed Urgash’s aura appearing again, they were the most anxious. Therefore, under the leadership of the Gold Dragon Queen, Céhirtazi, many dragons who had just escaped from the cataclysm in Eeofol turned around and flew toward the ocean, wanting to stop Urgash from escaping.
Although the heroes of the various races wanted to help, on the one hand, they had a headache from the immense losses due to the cataclysm. On the other hand, they had to consider an even more serious problem. Urgash was about to escape, so what about the demon lords in Sheogh?!
They realized that the worst situation facing the world of Ashan had appeared…
At this moment, Roy and the others, who were still high in the sky, could already see numerous dragons flying from all directions toward the ocean. They ignored the tsunamis and storms on the ocean and flapped their wings with all their might to fly toward the collapsing black vortex.
“These dragons are probably going to waste their efforts. If Urgash really comes out, with the current strength of the dragons, they won’t be able to stop him at all!” Benia turned to Roy. “Your Lordship, what should we do? Are we leaving?” “Wait a little longer. I want to confirm Urgash’s condition. If he really comes out…” Roy said solemnly.
The earthquake awakened Urgash in advance, which Roy did not expect. But on the other hand, if Urgash awakened early, did that mean the corrosion of the Void power in him had completed?
This was what Roy was most concerned about. According to his original estimation, when Urgash was completely devoured by the Void power and transformed into a Void creature, it should have taken more than a hundred years. After all, his current self-will had not totally disappeared, and he could still maintain his consciousness for a period of time. This was the basis of Roy’s guess.
But now that Urgash had escaped from his nightmare plight in advance, his situation was unpredictable, making Roy very curious.
“Your Lordship, don’t blame me for talking too much!” Rafaro said anxiously after hearing Roy’s words. “Of course we can wait a little longer, but if the situation gets out of control, we might not be able to leave if we want to…”
“Thank you for your advice!” Roy replied. He ignored him and continued staring at the black vortex.
But at this moment, Urgash’s voice from the spatial rift resounded throughout all of Ashan and caused Roy’s expression to distort.
“Demon Osiris… Where are you… I… Woke up in response to the summons… Have you… thought of a solution?”
