The Seven Throne

Black Mist

After everyone was treated, we held a meeting which was also attended by King Alvion and the Imperial Commander who helped.

"Alright, since everyone is here. Alif, please explain to us in detail what happened during the battle at that time."

Alif nodded and began to explain.

...

Some time ago, when Alif went alone into the forest.

Alif continued to break through the large horde of small dragons roughly. Mana outside his body is like forming an extra arm with sharp claws and continues to tear his opponent's body.

After a while, he stopped in a large area without trees, there stood a giant black dragon with golden eyes.

"You are ... I see, I understand"

The black dragon spoke in a relaxed voice, very different from its large and terrible appearance.

"Are you the Great Mountain Dragon?"

"That's right, that's me. Is there anything you need?"

"I felt the pressure beforehand from here. But it doesn't seem like it's from you."

"I didn't do anything, I also woke up from sleep by that thing"

Great Mountain Dragon is a dragon that is passive and will not just attack humans. But they tend to attack anyone who interferes with their leisure time.

But this time, this Great Mountain Dragon wasn't even trying to find who was bothering him. That means his opponent is far stronger than him.

Great Mountain Dragon looked at Alif with a little surprise.

"Tell me, what are you?"

Alif was surprised, he immediately asked.

"What do you mean? I'm human"

"No, no, I don't feel the slightest human aura from you. It's more like-"

Before the Great Mountain Dragon finished its sentence, black spikes emerged from the ground and pierced the Great Mountain Dragon.

"Gah! This is ... Poison"

Although it was pierced, the nail did not leave a scar, but turned into liquid. Plants around the appearance of the nails wither quickly, this poison is very deadly!

The Great Mountain Dragon's body quickly lost its strength and collapsed.

In the end, the Great Mountain Dragon died before completing the sentence.

...

Alif told everything that happened, except what he talked about with the Great Mountain Dragon.

"Even though I and the Lunarian Werewolf are trying to find the poison user, we can't trace it at all. Maybe it's the Sinner Sloth Dragon."

Alif's allegation is not without reason but supported by his knowledge.

Sinner Sloth Dragon is an ancient dragon that is the most skilled in poisons and surprise attacks. It made sense that it was Sinner Sloth Dragon, moreover, the pressure was able to awaken the Great Mountain Dragon from his sleep.

"I am very sure that he is still in the forest while eliminating the aura of his existence. We should stay in this Kingdom longer as a precautionary measure."

Sania interrupted, "Wait, how can you be sure that he is still there, can't you find him?"

Sania's opinion is quite logical, without sufficient evidence, it is quite difficult to agree with Alif.

"Sinner Sloth Dragon is the laziest ancient dragon, he will not move from his place except in an urgent situation. Can we be considered a threat by him?"

"That..."

"Right? Besides, none of us have the Holy Throne to fight Sinner Dragon."

It is common knowledge that Sinner Dragon must be opposed to the Holy Throne.

"Wait, I got the Holy Throne last time"

Everyone was surprised to hear Lisa's statement.

"Miss Lisa, please don't joke at a time like this"

Goudon who did not believe tried to dismiss Lisa's words. Lisa was upset because she was considered lying.

"I'm telling the truth, please trust me"

Seeing Lisa who looked difficult, Reisa tried to help.

"Lisa, please tell us how to get the Holy Throne"

Lisa's eyes sparkled while smiling brightly at Reisa. She was very happy that someone wanted to believe her words.

Reisa smiled wryly, Lisa was too easily made happy.

Lisa began to tell, from the instructions given by Arvan to the appearance of the Golden Phoenix, everything was told in detail.

"Patience, will it be useful against Sinner Wrath Dragon. But our opponent is Sloth."

"Yes, but I doubt everyone has the same requirements"

Arvan and Lerian chimed in, they just believed in Lisa's story. While Alif looks a little worried because Lisa has to sacrifice some of his souls.

Alif and Arvan added.

"Lerian is right. I and Arvan were able to issue a Spirit Avatar. But we don't have the Holy Throne yet, I just finished the first condition when I got my silver dragon dagger."

"I just finished the first condition when I have a Spirit Avatar."

So, each person will have a different process for obtaining the Holy Throne. But, this is very good news that they have one Holy Throne at this time. The rest just have to follow Lisa's steps.

The commander of the Imperial army who had been silent from the beginning, spoke, "We will return to the Empire, it will be a problem if you stay too long. Good luck."

The commander walked out, but stopped.

"Oh right, Mr. Alif, please return as soon as it's finished. Miss Anisa continues to whine to me through communication magic almost every time, it drives me almost crazy"

After saying that, he came out of the door.

Alif was having a hard time dealing with Anisa's childish behavior. Everyone present could only sympathize with him.

After the meeting was over, everyone returned to their respective rooms.

...

Sania lay on her bed exhausted.

His ministry emerged from the shadows like a ghost.

"Miss, the Elders will hold a meeting in a month. They have proposed a battle to fight for the position of the new head of the family"

"Just let the greedy people, they are only after the position"

"But this time they proposed a representative battle"

"Representative?"

"That's right, every competitor must choose their representative to fight. They say that this is to find a good family head in the assessment"

"Then?"

"They seem to intend to hire mercenaries"

Sania woke up from her bed in annoyance.

"The old people always messed up every meeting. Then my sister and I can't fight directly, we must find a strong representative"

Sania who immediately remembered someone quickly smiled. She has determined who it is.

"How is the plan progressing?"

"I've managed to secure 50% of the votes. This is enough to win the election by voting"

Sania nodded and the servant left immediately.

"Unfortunately we still have problems here, I can't act directly against my own family from here. I'll make sure to kick those greedy old man next time."

...

Ward.

Grayford lay on the bed. The healing magic circle glowed dimly underneath.

Rayford was standing right beside him holding a knife.

"Goodbye bro, you better die quickly"

Rayford raised his knife above Grayford's chest, trying to pierce his heart.

Just before Rayford stabbed his knife, the door opened violently.

"Hey Rayford, I'm looking for you"

It was Arvan, Rayford quickly hid his knife.

"Visiting your brother huh? Don't worry, he will get better soon. Let's go out and eat, I'll treat."

Arvan dragged Rayford out of the palace like he was carrying his luggage. Rayford did not even put up a fight, only according to helplessness.

"Thank God I prevented it," Arvan murmured softly.

Grayford's treatment room was left open.

Thin black mist entered through the door and window. The mist approached Grayford's body which lay weak.

Fog enters through the nostrils and seeps through the pores. His left arm which had a large enough wound was now beginning to close and his broken bone had been restored to normal.

Grayford immediately woke up from his bed with dark eyes like a void.

Grayford left the treatment room with the condition completely recovered while carrying his spear in hand.

...

I lay on a comfortable bed.

I am very disturbed by the words of the Great Mountain Dragon which is not yet finished.

If I'm not human, then what?

[Cannot be answered]

So I'm an unknown creature like that?

[The master is really an i***t. I'm amazed you can realize]

Your praise or ridicule is equally painful.

Can you track Sinner Sloth Dragon?

[Difficult, he uses abilities that even we have trouble finding]

Ah, so that's how it is. Sinner Dragon is indeed a very troublesome enemy.

Hey, tell me What will happen if I release your seals and return to being a complete Golden Dragon Emperor?

[As the most superior personality, I will begin to gather more strength than before until no one can seal me anymore, not even the Gods]

Do the Gods really exist?

I'm very curious about this. If the Gods exist, they can save this world very easily without having to sacrifice many lives.

[Please don't get your hopes up. Gods do exist, but they are not what you think they are. Very different]

[Please don't ask further about this topic, I'm prohibited from discussing too much about this]

Prohibited? By whom?

The more I find out, the more confusing it is. Too many puzzles need to be solved.
