Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 61: Dragons Cloud

Tang Wulin snaps his eyes open as he shot up straight. He begins to survey the area and the land that he seemed to wake up on.

'The last thing I recalled was watching Sleipnir clashing with the Dragon Valley Dimensional rift and then a flash of white.' Thought Tang Wulin as he could feel a headache passing through him.

He tried making a connection with Sleipnir but after a while, he couldn't connect with her. Not only her but all of his soul rings and martial soul.

"Acnologia." A voice rang out from Tang Wulin side.

"Zeref." Said Tang Wulin as he knew Zeref was the only one who knew his old name.

"Good, its seem you're fine." Said Zeref as he appeared next to Acnologia.

"Do you know what happened?" Asked Tang Wulin.

"I'm unsure. It seems we're in another dimension, and it may be the reason why you aren't able to feel Sleipnir." Said Zeref, as he was relatively familiar to alternate dimensional and worlds.

"So, this world may have a restriction?"

"Most likely a restriction on soul power but not on bloodlines and your other powers." Said Zeref.

Tang Wulin sighed but knew he couldn't worry overly much about it. Tang Wulin was at least glad he could still use his bloodline rings and other powers.

A deep roar sounded out.

Tang Wulin turned his head and four Land Dragon approaching him. From their name Land Dragon, these dragons had no wings but these one look translucent as if they were just a projection.

'The hell?' Thought Tang Wulin as he disregards the fact he was surrounded.

The Land Dragons roar at him and begin their charge toward Tang Wulin who still didn't make a move toward them. The first Land Dragon came from in front of him and he simply smashes down on its head.

BANG!

To Tang Wulin surprise, the Land Dragon body didn't burst open but shattered into beams of light that begin to scatter around him.

Tang Wulin felt his body warming. The energy of the annihilated Land Dragon had unexpectedly surged into his body.

He didn't have much time to think about it as the other Land Dragons were approaching him. Tang Wulin uppercuts the one to his right and kicks out toward the one to his left, shattering both of their forms.

Both of the Land Dragons begin turning into swirls of light and then began to go into Tang Wulin body.

'So, It wasn't my imagination.' Thought Tang Wulin, as he felt his body getting warmer.

The last Land Dragon came towards him but he ended it with a simple punch and it too shattered into the light.

Tang Wulin didn't understand what happened but didn't pay it any mind and decided to walk around. He was walking down the hill, that he woke up on and saw no life from the view the hill gave him.

'So, I guess those dragons are rare?' Thought Tang Wulin, confuse on why he wasn't seeing any more Land Dragons.

What he did notice were multi-colored clouds over on the mountain across from the hill he was coming down.

'I wonder.' Thought Tang Wulin as he narrowed his eyes.

Tang Wulin begins sprinting toward the mountain where the multi-colored clouds were and then begin to climb up toward one of the clouds.

He didn't foolishly touch it but wanted to see how the clouds would react to a living being next to it. The red cloud made no movement or hint of change as Tang Wulin got close to it.

'So does it exclude living beings? So what do these clouds do?' Thought Tang Wulin.

It was then the red cloud began contorting and spin like a whirlpool. In the next instant, the spiraling cloud fell from the sky and, like a beam of light, shot straight toward Tang Wulin.

"Don't dodge this one Acnologia." Zeref voice rang out.

Tang Wulin didn't evade the clouds as he observes the red cloud engulfed him and violently swirl around him. To his surprise, he could feel the warm energy that he felt after killing the Land Dragon entering into his body.

'Are they the same?' Thought Tang Wulin.

He could feel the element of fire and somewhat grasp its understanding from the red cloud. Then as the cloud passes through his body and rose up into the air with a golden hue on it.

"Interesting, so these clouds also are similar to the energy you absorb from those Land Dragons." Said Zeref as he appeared next to Tang Wulin.

"You knew?" Asked Tang Wulin with a raised brow.

"Not with confidence. But I could discern the energy was similar as you were looking at the clouds." Said Zeref.

Tang Wulin lips twitch at the absurdity at what he heard but then again this is Zeref he was talking to. If anyone could figure all that out, it was the Black Magician who literally mastered every magic known to Fiore.

"Now, let see if anything happens if you summon your Blood Ring." Said Zeref, causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.

Four Blood Ring appeared behind Tang Wulin. It was then that the other colored clouds began to spin like the red clouds before and shoot toward Tang Wulin.

He felt all of the color clouds shooting into him and the feeling of the elements that came from them.

Tang Wulin didn't understand why he felt such a strange attunement with the elements even though he wasn't an elemental soul master.

After the last cloud had left his body, he began to meditate as countless specks of light were in his body. Each speck of light represents the elements Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Wind, Space, and Darkness.

They all went toward his bloodline and were avoiding his Dragonslayer powers like the plague as if it frightened them.

"I see." Said Tang Wulin as he was beginning to understand why Zeref told him to absorb the energy. He could feel these energy refining and raising his blood essence.

Not only that he could his body being nourished and negating his need to eat. He went back to meditating to fully absorb all of the lights and lost track of time.

After a while, Tang Wulin opened back up his eyes.

"Two Weeks as passed." Said Zeref as he been counting.

Tang Wulin eyes widen in shock but still nodded his head and decided to start looking for more of these colored clouds. He didn't notice that all of the clouds he passed by had a golden hue to them.

Lucky for him, that the next clouds were close to him as they also begin to shoot toward him. He begins journeying around the mountain valley and absorbing the multi-colored clouds.

It was only after absorbing his sixth set of colored clouds that he noticed the sky was brimming with golden colored ones.

He went to go check on them and notice not only could he not absorb it but they were also giving off a friendly aura towards him.

Each cloud he absorbed led to his body becoming stronger and after eating his eighteenth set, he could feel his body evolving.

As he continued absorbing more of these clouds, Zeref would give him some insights on it. He didn't know where he was going, but he could feel something calling him.

It felt like something dear and personal to him.

"Could it have a connection to the Golden Dragon King?" Zeref questioned.

"Maybe." Said Tang Wulin as he continued walking in deeper into the valley. It would also make sense why he felt at home in this place and why there was no danger.

A while as passed as Tang Wulin could feel the calling getting stronger as he kept on walking. There was an abundant number of golden clouds trailing behind from them going through him and improving his body.

'Just what could be so special, that it could get a reaction out of the Golden Dragon King.' Thought Tang Wulin.

'Especially with these dragons.' Thought Tang Wulin as he begins destroying the dragons in front of him.

Ever since he began following the calling, he has been meeting stronger and stronger dragons. With the Golden Dragon King and his Dragonslayer powers, it was easy demolishing them.

In fact, he had to use the Golden Dragon King suppression to stop them from running because his Dragonslayer powers kept terrifying them. He didn't understand why though, because the dragons in Fiore weren't as terrified, compared to these guys.

"Maybe it's because this is the first time they ever met something that was specially designed to slay them." Said Zeref, as he was too baffled by this.

Either way, after a while he arrived at a mountain valley that was completely collapsed inward. It was more like a basin than a mountain valley.

Tang Wulin let out a small smirk as he saw the countless dragon skeletons in the deep valley. While he didn't hate the dragons anymore, he never said he liked them.

He could feel the Golden Dragon King's rage and sadness but he completely shut it down.

'Why are you getting so angry? Cause of these skeletons? Shut up and get over yourself. They all die because of their weakness and uselessness.' Tang Wulin thought as he felt the Golden Dragon King rage.

The Golden Dragon King died down after hearing his words and begin to go silent. Zeref appeared next to him with a look of sadness, causing Tang Wulin to arch a brow.

"You actually care about the dragons?"

"Not necessarily. But this many dragon bones? There must have been a genocide that had happened." Said Zeref.

Tang Wulin fell silent as he begins observing the astounding amount of dragon bones. Tang Wulin shook his head and then jump down into the valley.

He could feel he was closing in on the ground and then he summoned his Light Wings to slow his descent. He hasn't used it until now because most of the Dragons resided on the ground and the clouds would always come to him, so he saw no point.

As he landed, he could feel and hear the cries of over a thousand dragons. He could see more dragon skeletons and bodies laying around here.

Tang Wulin didn't touch any of the dragon bones but he could still hear their cries and the rage of the Golden Dragon King.

He didn't know why but as he got farther inside, he kept on getting angrier and angrier. He didn't know why, but he knew it couldn't be because he felt sad at their death.

'What could have killed so many of them?' Thought Tang Wulin, as he doubts it could be just anything.

From what Na'er and Gu Yue have told him, the Dragon Clan used to rule the Douluo Dalu Continent and even their weakest was as strong as a Title Douluo.

After a while, Tang Wulin suddenly stopped walking when he saw an incomparably huge skeleton in front of him. It lacked the skeleton wings of a dragon but had a brawny body with limbs strong enough to hold up the sky.

Tang Wulin could say its aura was similar to the Mountain Dragon King aura, Long Yue was giving off. He could also feel the mournful cries of the Mountain Dragon King and how it too, like the other dragons were crying out.

'You pitful Dragons.'

Tang Wulin had enough, as his face began to contort in an annoyance and disdain. He was annoyed not only because of their hypocrisy but also cause of their complaining.

"Are you not a Dragon King and yet you cry with such shame."

"Just like those dragons before, you cry as if you were dealt an unfair fate."

"You cry as if the heavens loathed you and are unjust."

"Do you guys not understand why you failed? Why you all died? Why you guys were all led to genocide?"

"You were weak!"

Tang Wulin roared, causing all of the skeletons and corpses who were crying to go quiet.

Then they all roared out in anger, causing not just the valley he was in to shake but the whole small world. Everyone that was in the valley could hear the enraged roars of Dragons as it permeates through the world.

"You think I'm wrong? If so why are you all here dead?"

This enraged the Dragons even further to the point where the bodies of the Dragon around him were flashing with white energy. The souls of the dragons began to leave their bodies and appear around Tang Wulin, yet he did not stop.

"You guys lost! You were slain by someone stronger. "

An unimaginable amount of pressure began permeating through the valley as all of the Dragons around Tang Wulin begin roaring at him. Even the Moutain Dragon King spirit came alive and glared hatefully at Tang Wulin.

"You pathetic dragons!"

Tang Wulin could feel the pressure around him increasing, and he began to grin widely. Zeref was listening to Tang Wulin as he was speaking. He could feel the Golden Dragon King trying to communicate with him.

"I have no interest in how you guys died."

The Dragons begin to quiet down as they listen to Tang Wulin word. They didn't why but they felt a familiar aura surrounding the human in front of them.

"But you see."

The Golden Dragon King's power burst forward as it stares down all of the dragon souls around him. He could feel the Golden Dragon King roaring out.

"I don't mind if you guys follow me."

"Even as unworthy as you guys are."

"As I rampage through the world."
