The dragon remained afloat. His sights were set on some humans he deemed worthy of attention
“Are these the so-called human masters, the descendants of the powerhouses that stood side by side with us dragons 10 millennia ago? What fallacy! History books were sure to meld the truth with nothing but Delusions!, Seeing your weak selves I've just concluded... Humans are… Ants before us. Now, Kneel before me or suffer extinction!” His lazy voice resounded through the whole City and carried thunder. Everyone who heard that felt shivers run through their spine and gritted their teeth in helplessness. Some ‘weak-willed’ people knelt, and most wives begged their husbands not to combat such monstrosity, as only death would befall them. They won't even be enough to be used as cannon fodder. better for a man to kneel and live another day than for him to die for naught.
When they saw the menacing might of the dragons that seem to tower over everything else, No one could muster any courage to lift his sword.
‘12 hundred dragons. Full ledge and sufficient to destroy life on earth.'
Gipsy saw the dragon’s satisfied smirk and gritted her teeth. It was obvious he was taking pleasure in their miseries and flopping even more apprehension on them. What was worse, everyone was unprepared and thus unfit to impede this catastrophe walking.
She clenched her fist but reaffirm that such type of rogue could never be the monarch over humans. Just like the records warned, Dragons were the very reincarnation of the seven sins. She stopped balking and sounded off,
“You must be the Commander of this… Army. I want an honest answer, what exactly would you do when you become the Sovereign of the Human Realm. What do you hope to achieve”
“Me? What I hope to achieve, let me see, is nothing of significance... Why the hell am I even speaking to you, How dare you question my dictatorship.
Well, Since you’re the measly ruler of this even more measly set of people, I will pardon you just this once,
Let me see, I don’t have a grand plan or some sinister trick for you humans like my imperial Uncle here, The only thing I want is your treasures!!! All of it, irrespective of what it is; clothes, shoes, sparkling stones, artifacts, send them all to the new base I will be making here soon, There’s no need to worry about space, my warehouse could fit even the entire treasury of the heavens.
Next, every week I want a minimum of five Beautiful virgins to warm my bed; I said minimum remember if you can arrange for more, this King here would not be rueful but collect everything and would I give them back you might be wondering? Bullshit! they'll become my property forever.
Every month I would hold two competitions, One for men, and one for women, all under 40 but above 17… in human standards. The men would battle against themselves and unique beasts in a barbaric contest, while for the Women, he hehe. They would compete for the person competent enough to satisfy me sufficiently. Talents and Powerhouses would not be trained. Anyone with the affinity for Mana would be apprehended." He ended and still smiled softly even after all humans in the crowd were gritting their teeth in anger.
"Oho? What treacherous beings, What Lustful creatures." Although Gypsy felt something was wrong, Her fury blinded her responding and made her boil to the point of letting out steam.
"I swear to eradicate your every existence right here!" Seeing the smirk on his face still rising in ridicule she spoke to the Crowd.
"Everyone who has absorbed Pure Mana before, Join your swords together with this Queen[1]. It's not an insane or impossible hazard, challenging him, we destroyed the dragons in the Last Battle, Reigned supreme in all the vast world, held these despicable bastards by their horns, and rode on them like a mere beast of burden. We are the children of the gods, Thor and Marchen came to land and liked what they saw[2], Aries stood on this very soil and clanked cups with us... Tell me, is there anything we cannot do?!!"
"NOOO
For the Pride of Humanity!"
.
“For My children!!”
“For valor!!”
Voices rang out high with empathy as everyone, man or woman shouted out with indignation.
Recalling the great stories of old,
Humans riding boldly on dragons
Humans drinking law with the horns of defeated dragons.
Dragon treasures laid bare, mere mortals sharing gold and ores...
t
Things that felt like mere tales before broke into their spirit and made their blood boil...
'What Dragon, What Demon. They have no authority to control man. This is no hurdle, but an Opportunity! A chance to kill a Dragon!
With that shout, The multitudes rushed out to meet the leading Dragon with fury in their eyes... Fury mixed with excitement and a spirit for battle.
[1: Representing herself in a third-person point of view. You'll see more of this in further chapters.
She calls herself this Queen
2: Thor is the god of war... This means the human undying will and battle spirit were strong enough to get approval from Thor.]
