Chapter 523 Overwhelming Power
'We're doomed.'
Those were Adonis' only thought when he gazed upon the Dark Dragon Lord.
The being's overwhelming presence, his immaculate attire, his commanding expression; all of it oozed the same thing.
—Power.
Sheer, unbridled power!
Adonis, with his Divine Blade, and his allies, were nothing compared to this supreme entity—one that could even be revered as a deity.
Dragon Lords were not like the rest of their kind. They were several levels above them, which was why they were often treated like gods.
Even Adonis, despite his sheer willpower and hatred towards the Dragons, found his legs shaking. His knees were tempted to buckle and crumble to the earth.
It took all of his strength to remain upright and still.
The screaming Belle fell quiet the moment the Dragon Lord appeared, so the entire expanse was as silent as a graveyard.
Not even the strained breathing of everyone could be heard. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
They all had to be quiet... and look to the one who held their lives in his hands.
"I asked a question, but it seems like no one is willing to respond." The Dragon Lord itched his ear a little, scanning the audience a little before sighing.
"Look, you people should just relax a little, okay? I didn't come here to fight or anything. If I did, you'd all be dead by now."
The Lord was right.
Yet, the way he said it so casually made Adonis' heart squeeze in pain. The weight of powerlessness was heavy on him, but he could still say nothing.
"You can rest assured that I won't harm the rest of you. I'll take my leave as soon as I'm done satiating my curiosity, so don't worry." He added, scanning the audience once again.
"So who did it? Who killed... ah, what's his name again? Jerardino? Jerado? Erm...?"
He turned behind him to look at the Dragon General, using his facial expression to signal them so they could help him out with the answer.
"I-It's Jer'ard, my Lord..." Kar'en did her best to whisper it, but everyone in the devastated grounds still heard her response.
The shameless Dragon Lord pretended as if that wasn't the case and snapped his fingers the instant she told him the answer.
Or, the most likely reason, that they were simply too terrified to speak.
"Why don't I give you some time to process my question and come up with an answer?" The Dragon Lord sighed, huffing a bit of air as he turned away in dejection.
He floated off from the humans and went to the side of the Dragons, his backs turned against the purported enemies.
But, both the human and the dragon side knew that they were no real threats to him.
"Once I'm done talking to these two, I'll come for my answer." He waved, and then in the blink of an eye, all three of them vanished.
~VWUSH!~
Slight crackles of purple lightning and energy danced around the area where the three Dragons previously occupied. Now, it was empty.
The only ones left on the devastated grounds were Adonis and the rest of the humans.
Then, almost as if they finally remembered to breathe... the world around them became filled with heavy sighs of both relief and exhaustion.
Once the overwhelming pressure was gone, the humans were finally able to move their bodies and turn to each other.
All of them were frightened.
"W-what do we do now...?" For some reason, they all turned to Adonis the moment the question was raised.
Brutus, Lucielle, Alicia, and Belle... all of them stared hard at the Hero for an answer. He always knew what to do, and what was going on, after all.
However, for the first time ever, Adonis fell short of their expectations and cast his gaze on the ground.
"I... I don't know."
