Fate Online: Shadow

Chapter 409: It Gets Muddier

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Roaar!

The sounds of explosions along with the destruction of the land echoed as two almighty figures battled above a long and towering mountain range, with one woman burning with anger, and the other, a huge snow white dragon who was letting out a roar full of grievances.

"How dare you send my only disciple to his death, Frost Dragon!?" Laura screamed with bloodshot eyes as she glared at the flying dragon before her eyes, already covered in injuries and affecting her flying capability.

"Hmmp! You old hag! I just told him where he could hatch that egg that he got from that stupid Millie! He went there out of his own volition, no one forced him! Instead, you should be scolding that stupid Fire Dragon!" Sofia snapped back angrily while glaring at one of the people watching them afar.

Millie, who came here with Laura, could only smile bitterly and said, "Why me? I didn't even know that he needed to go to the Dragon's Nest to hatch that thing! How the hell would I know that it was a mutated dragon egg!?"

Hiccup, the Dragon Master looked at her and said, "Wasn't that egg already with you for a couple of years? How come all this while, you still haven't realized that it's a goddamn mutant egg!?"

The others just remained silent and didn't bother saying anything as they just silently listened to the stupid conversation that's taking place beside them.

"And? I threw it in my cave and didn't bother trying to hatch it" Millie replied with a snort as she's starting not to like Hiccup at all, not a single bit!

When he heard that, Hiccup couldn't help but flare up in anger and said, "What?! You heartless monster! How could you do that?!"

Millie just rolled her eyes and replied with a disdainful tone saying, "Oh shut up~, Dragons are still far better than your hypocritical and depraved race"

When the other humans who were with them heard what she uttered, the edge of either their eye or mouth twitched, but in the end didn't say any rebuttal as they themselves knew how destructive the nature of humans are.

"Hahaha!"

But the only Dwarf among them felt like he heard the biggest joke and burst out laughing, making the people around him wear a darkened look on their faces.

Prompting them to glare at him, while the Dragon Emperor, who was rumored to be nearing the end of his lifespan was present and chose to just ignore the commotion with his eyes closed and arms crossed as he didn't have the time to pay attention to their childish drivel.

While on the other hand, a surprising group of individuals are actually present among them.

They a group of Night Elves, and different from their name, they are actually fair looking, and they were sent by their Queen to attend this gathering, lead by an Elder along with an entourage of his warriors, finally coming out of their isolation of a few centuries as they discovered the urgent need to make their presence known after learning of another threat coming from the creatures of the deep seas.

The Sea Tribes.

And this time, they won't be spared from this inevitable invasion!

It wasn't long after when the Dragon Emperor was full of it, and his aura erupted into the skies, immediately attracting the attention of the others that even Laura, who was known for her hot temper, immediately stopped fighting Sofia.

As playtime is long over.

Laura flew over and landed beside them along with Sofia who had taken her human form while the Dragon Emperor looked at them before turning his attention back to the others saying, "Let's start the discussion on how we'll deal with the Sea Tribes, and it makes me happy that the Elves are finally willing to participate"

Hearing the mockery in his tone, the group of elves felt embarrassed and angered at the same time, but they didn't reveal any of it on the surface as they knew that they would be just courting death if any of them gave a rebuttal.

Laura looked towards their direction and gave a disdainful smirk towards this group of arrogant race.

She didn't like them, not because she hates them, but because they never helped them during the last invasion and just sat on the fence and watched as they benefited from the following years of peace that they had worked and sacrificed for.

A large reason why every other race on the continent hates them, even humans who are fond of beauty don't like them. Well, most of them are, because there are still humans who worship their beauty and elegance.

A good example that whatever era or world you are in, there would still be people who are simps.

"Let's not dilly dally any longer, as it's rare for Erva to be present" said Ralgur Brewbender, the only Dwarf in attendance and the current Blacksmith Sage.

Millie looked around their surroundings, especially towards a large ancient building in the distance currently under construction from a group of dwarven builders..

"Are we seriously having this important meeting regarding the fate of our home on top of this hill? Don't you guys have any other place other than that one?" Millie said.

Hiccup gave her a glance from the corner of his eyes and said with a snort, "Says the person who broke the damn building the moment she arrived!"

"Come on! It was a few days ago! You still can't get over it? It was an accident~! An accident, okay?" Millie replied with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Enough with the bickering, we already had enough on our plates, especially with the re-emergence of the undead horde" Laura immediately intervened before another fight broke out.

The others agreed with her, but they would surely be thinking in their minds.

'Like you're one to talk! You're the one who started fighting the moment you arrived here!'

Erva just ignored her words and said, "Let the gathering begin"

When he uttered those words, the atmosphere at the gathering suddenly changed into a more serious note, and the newcomers, the night elves, couldn't help but suddenly gulp down their saliva nervously when they felt the pressure weighing on top of them..

'Now I understand why our Queen didn't want to attend this gathering. She's afraid that these people would suddenly attack her out of prejudice and anger' Night Elf Elder thought inside after what he seemed to have forgotten that the characters before them are all almighty figures of their respective races or tribes.

And soon after, the events of this gathering of the Almighties would cause a few large scale events that would embroil the entire Continent of Nevareth.

A change that would certainly benefit the optimistic and quest hungry player base.
