Chapter 100: Erval's Legend
Rock Saelfine Empire, Southern State.
While in bed, Thaddeus felt a threatening force drive through him.
His eyes flew open, sweat quickly forming on his forehead. The feeling he had just experienced was that of a slap to the face.
No, rather, it felt like a foot stomping on his head, making him kneel with a deeply embedded sense of inferiority.
"A dragon? Surely not..."
Many miles away, certain figures in the same kingdom had similar reactions.
***
Zasea Kingdom, Rocavell Capital City.
A group of figures with shadowed faces all stood in unison as they felt a powerful force drive through their bodies.
"What in tarnation..."
"No..."
***
Douden Federation, Sylvell Capital City.
A large, muscular man clad in royal attire furrowed his brows, "Things have changed now..."
"You got that right..."
***
Edenharl Garden, Pinnacle Plant Garden.
Three advisors stood before their king, bowing as they exclaimed in unison:
"Yes, sir... a dragon indeed."
"Who has released such a powerful creature upon this world? Have we been forsaken by the Gods once again?"
***
Ovalantis Province, King Capital City.
A group of 7 powerful figures sat around a giant and luxurious table.
They all had very serious expressions.
"The world has to make a decision."
"Not yet... we yet to know its strength."
"All we have to go off of is the ancient history..."
"What can we do?"
"Will it spill war?"
"The dragon was within Ovalantis... does that not mean our country will be targeted?"
"Forget about the country... Ainsveld itself is at stake."
"I must think... who has held such a power, and why are they releasing it now?"

*Loud snoring*
Tyr was abruptly woken up by Noa, "Wake up! You've slept for long enough now..." She gave him a slap on the face.
"Wha-!?" Tyr jerked up, looking around with shock and confusion, "What happened last night? I totally forgot..."
The three other members of the Hunter group were staring at Tyr with furrowed brows and serious expressions.
"Oh shit..." He said under his breath.
"After you birthed a dragon into this world, you simply said you wanted to get some sleep and you will talk about it after..." Noa exclaimed, causing Tyr's eyes to widen in shock.
"I summoned a--!? Oh wait... I did..." Tyr finally seemed to remember. "A dragon huh... thats--" Before could finish, Noa interjected and continued:
"Now that you're awake, we have to talk about what all happened... and what we have to do moving forward."
Tyr paused, thinking about that for a moment.
"Look, it's not too big of a deal right? Sure, its a strong beast, but I have control over it."
"How!?" All of the other three exclaimed in unison.
"Ch-chill! I have an ability to store my pets. Hanzo and Malon already know about it..."
"That's fine, but when you unleash it again, who's to say it won't destroy a damn forest again?" Hanzo said, "And who's to say your spell can even hold a dragon for long... im sure a dragon can break out of any spell its held in within a short duration of time."
He looked to the side, as though to think.
During this second, Tyr mused: 'Hmm... my Full Golden Body easily negated even the strongest dragon flames according to Ares himself. My Ancestral Ability seems to be very strong, but what about GG? I don't know if it can withstand that power for long. Then again... it is called Infinite Domain for a reason...'
"Have you heard of the legends, Tyr?" Malon said at that moment.
"Legends?" Tyr questioned, "Of dragons?"
"No..." Malon replied, continuing: "Dragons have never set foot on Subworld. However, they, even now, are plentiful in the most dangerous regions of Titan as I understand."
"Titan?" Tyr raised a brow in confusion.
Noa and Malon seemed a bit confused, but Hanzo was used to Tyr not knowing things, so he decided to add in: "Its another planet within our Solar Tree. A Solar Tree is what connects all planets into a system, allowing beings to travel in between them using its roots and branches."
"I see... so Titan must be much more dangerous than Subworld huh?" Tyr replied, garnering a bunch of nods.
"But that's beside the point... I'm talking about the legend of a man named Erval." Malon said, everyone quieting down.
Tyr squinted his eyes, "No... I've never heard of such a thing."
"It's an ancient story that really shouldn't even be in our part of the world. It happened on the completely other side of Subworld many years ago, from what we in this part of Subworld understand. However, Erval was such a great man that his life deeds allowed his name to be carried across hundreds of thousands of miles, and even across planets."
Tyr continued to listen intently, his intrigue increased.
"We in this part of Subworld don't know much of his story, but what we do know is that he once was a great leader who once saved this entire continent from destruction."
Tyr's eyes expanded, wowed by what he just heard.
"Many say that the Gods had forsaken Subworld, and that was why this destruction event happened in the first place."
"What was the event? Not a dragon?"
"No... but something nearly just as powerful. A phoenix, whose name began with a Y. It threatened to destroy this entire continent and further. At least, thats what many say... there are various different renditions of this ancient story, you see."
"Hmm."
"But in the end, Erval used a great seal to conquer the beast, allowing peace to reign once again on Subworld."
"What's the point of that story? Why did you want to tell me it?"
"It's a lost legend, not much of it is known... yet, these shattered bits are spread across all of the various planets and retold a bit differently each time across every village littered across Subworld. Despite there not being much known about that, this sheer fact makes it a reality, rather than a legend."
"I see."
"And it is all to say that a phoenixphoenix is one thing... but a dragon... that's a whole nother story. All those who have heard of Erval's name will have known God's Forsakening... and will be scared it will happen again. Most likely, all leaders of the free world will want to be the second Erval of our time."
"I see... Erval set a precedent that now feels as though it must be followed." Tyr surmised, donning a serious expression, "Its quite the predicament I've put myself in..."
'However,' He thought inwardly, unable to help but grin with excitement in his mind, 'This power is under my control, and if I can continue that until Ares reaches his full power, then that alone will make me a continent-level threat. A boost to the throne of continent ruler, as long as I play my cards right...'
