Kapitel 118: Chapter 117 Respect
The white knight, or the blue knight now to be exact, was eluding an aura at least double or even triple of his previous state.
If the previous fast paced battle was one between two ferocious wolves, then now, it would be between a ferocious wolf and a vicious tiger with its claws sharpened.
The knight held his sword with two hands and got into the standard position, his sword at a diagonal angle facing his opponent, his body directly aligned to his foe to prevent any sudden attacks.
"Hey, Leader of the Pyre knights, I hereby order for you to keep your sword and retreat back!" The Crystallite Dragon commanded from above as it flapped its wings, cooling flames surrounding its entire body with anger apparent on its face.
"Young dragon lord, you may be the only son of the Dragon Lord. But firstly, you're still too incompetent for your title to be recognised. Secondly, what would you think would happen if you dear father hears of me ignoring his orders because of you." The Pyre knight stated, his voice devoid of any emotions.
The Crystallite Dragon wanted to rebut, but realised that the Pyre knight was in the right, even he's helpless when left to face the anger of his father.
While the Pyre knight might face some punishments, they wouldn't be severe enough to affect him even in the slightest, he was one of the important leaders of the entire dragon race after all.
Taking in what seemed like a deep breath, the Crystallite Dragon said with much difficulty "If anything were to happen... I... I'll take full responsibility."
"I'm sorry young dragon lord, the best I can promise is to spare his life, but I'm afraid that he'll still have to end up a cripple as stated by the laws." The Pyre knight replied as he bowed towards the Crystallite Dragon.
If the Crystallite Dragon had backed off just because his father was brought up, he would only think lower of him and would vote for him to lose the title six years from now.
Even though he stuttered when trying to make the determination, at least he had plucked up the courage to take the first step, all he needed now was time and with his talent, overtaking his father wouldn't be impossible.
But his behaviour had wholly amazed the Pyre knight. The Pyre knight only had expectations for the young dragon lord in his eyes to support the friend to a certain degree, but he actually made the resolution to disobey his father.
Just like how a bird gains independence the moment it learns how to fly, the key for the Crystallite Dragon, was to comprehend the definition of independence and it was through knowing what it meant to treat someone as a friend.
Nightin wasn't even his friend, but he was the first person to make him feel warmth. Everyday back in the Dragon Palace in these fourteen years had treated him coldly. He was expected to become one who doesn't get affected by his feelings, each and every of his actions were under surveillance.
When speaking, he had to ensure that his tone was commanding enough to influence others, when he see those poor or weak suffering, he was expected to help them to the best of his abilities with whatever he possessed, even if it meant his personal properties.
The dragon race might seem like a race which had insatiable hunger for blood and death, but that was only what others think about them.
They were a race filled with compassion for others, no one will ever dig out the truth and realise that it was for them that the dragon race went on a sudden decline.
When cultivating, he would have the best guidance from his seniors and those apex cultivators and coupled with his unprecedented talent, his cultivation soared rapidly and his natural instincts for combat had caught the attention of many.
The generals of all the army would have already roped him in even if it leads to internal war, but all of them dropped the notion upon learning about his true identity.
He was then burdened with the task of helping the dragon clan to rise, to face the cultivation universe once again as the dominant race where everyone would fear yet respect them.
He wasn't allowed to make any friends as it is believed that they might lead him astray, his parents were cold to him and he had never experienced parental love.
Whenever he asks "Father, mother, why are the two of you treating me this coldly, please let Glacier know if I've made any mistake."
Glacier only wanted to experience parental love for once, but that resulted in them totally cutting off all meeting sessions with him except for those solemn ceremonies which requires all members to attend.
Ever since then, he had set a goal which no cultivator from any species or race have ever dared to imagine, breaking past the Overlord realm and step onto the true path of longevity.
"Pyre knight Dake, I demand you to stop without causing any permanent damage to him that would affect his future cultivation!"
Nightin took all this into view as he thought to himself, just what have I done to deserve so much assistance from everyone? Just what is my true identity and what's the reason for me even being the "chosen one?"
The Pyre knight Dake half kneeled and cupped his fists as he sheathed his sword first and answered "Pyre knight Dyke will do as instructed."
"Very well, you may rise." Dake stood up after receiving the orders as he turned to face Nightin once again.
If he was previously only fighting because of the received orders, it was this young man who had piqued his interest now, just what charm does he possess to help the young dragon lord grow this much?
This young dragon lord, he's the type of leader that I would follow and even give up my life for.
"Come at me with everything you've got young lad."
