Chapitre 18: [Is That Really You? Are You My Master?]
As I flew towards the center of the empire I started seeing more and more people and businesses lining the streets of the city.
It went on for miles long in each direction the smell of roasted meat made my stomach growl subconsciously.
I flew higher and higher and started to realize I just how vast The Araezia Empire really was, and vast is surely was.
I'm sure exploring other countries and the rest of the world would sure make the interesting adventure.
I kept on my way and flew higher until I stopped and detected a dense mass of energy in the distance so I decided to go closer to see what was going on.
I could see a large crowd gathering or waiting for something in front of a tall wooden scaffold that stood several meters in the air with a guillotine right in the middle.
There were thousands of people waiting and watching to see what was going on they most likely had been summoned there by somebody of high status or it could maybe even be the emperor's orders
"But why are all these people gathering in front of this wooden scaffold… is this a live execution?!", I said out loud.
As more and more people started to gather all around coming from each and every direction they were all wondering what all the commotion was they started to line the courtyard filling it up quickly.
Confused and anxious people started talking and wondering what was happening and why everybody was summoned here many people were raising questions left and right wanting an answer to quell their concern.
Just then a voice coming from some kind of sound magic or speaker echoed through out the courtyard.
It brought the attention and eyes of everyone to look atop the wooden scaffold where a middle-aged man who looked to be a Holy Paladin stood looking down on the people below.
He then said, " Greetings lovely citizens of the Araezia Empire, pleased to see you all here today…"*Bowed*
"I'm the leader Of the Royal Knight Captains… my name is Masuyama Sanzo..."
"Im here because I have an important announcement to make on the behalf of my liege… Lord William Castiel III!"
"Our lord has issued orders for us to now proceed with the delayed trial and execution of the Dragonborn chief of the ancient wind dragon tribe…"
"This creature is a dangerous being who bares the Will and dragon mark of the wind dragon deity known and revered through out the world!"
"If it wasn't for our Empires devoted troops which vowed to protect the nation they see as their home, we would have potentially suffered massive casualties!
"So In honor of those who sacrificed and gave up their lives to carry out their mission and subjugating this evil being who stands in front of us today!"
"We need to make a decision that would further protect our nation and wouldn't bring shame on their sacrifice!"
"That's how dangerous of a threat this man poses to our country and if he is not punished it would surely threaten not only our empire but the entire future off a threat he is to mankind!"
"In any case we cannot allow him to be free and go about causing a revolution against the human nations or the casualties on both sides will be drastic!"
"So to ensure our nations safety we will due what is necessary and get rid of the problem at its root!"
"If any one has an objection to the orders that have been given, our lord has gave permission to do so, if so step forward now and speak your peace."
It was silent for a moment as everyone looked around trying to see if anyone would speak up against the emperor's orders it stayed quiet signifying that no one objected this outcome.
Instead of objections the crowd of people started cheering in excitement showing that they agreed with everything that was said men women, elderly and even children big and small started cheering and shouting for them to begin the execution.
It was then I had a terrifying realization of just how wicked and cruel this world was even children were used to seeing and hearing about death on a daily basis.
They would then continue living thinking this behavior was okay and without having any regrets or remorse, it was truly a horrendous sight to see.
One man shouted, "Do it I agree, one day in the future he may decide to revolt against us and try to cause a global rebellion we shouldn't hesitate to kill him!"
"He's filthy Dragonborn trash who tried to go against fate and the very will of our god he should be given divine punishment for his sins!"
"Off with his head, let's show their wicked race the consequences off rising up against our human nations we shall slaughter all who threaten our justice!"
"Just get it over with already and stop wasting our time, his trial already went on for far too long!", A woman in the crowd yelled.
"This is what you get when you make enemies out of us this should've happened earlier Gahahahaha!"
Then the crowd erupted in shouts of anger as they started chanting "Kill him!, Off with his head!, "Kill him", Off with his head they said this repeatedly as they threw stones and other items at his already injured body.
I ignored the displeasing commotion they were causing and looked down to see a large building that had a stairway and railing around the whole outside of the building leading to the large wooden scaffold.
Sitting right behind it stood a balcony-like white stone ledge that was most likely built for the emperor his family and his guest to sit and watch.
I seen two Royal Knights both with their swords drawn walking along the stairway leading to the scaffold with the shape of a large figure walking in front of them.
In front of him a man who looked to be in his late teens with light tanned skin and long spiked white hair that made him look like a god his angelic hair rustled in the win I thought at first he was an old man but it seemed to be his natural hair color.
He was extremely tall compared to everyone else I've seen in this world,he's even bigger than the peer demons from yesterday.
He stood around 7 foot tall with a lean and muscular body you could see the definition in each of his muscles which gave me the impression he had a tough and hardened demeanor.
When I started to look closer I noticed that he had a huge scar the shape of a lightning bolt across the entire left side of his face just barely missing his eye.
His eyes were bright crimson-red that held the same hawk-like and devious sharp gaze and power that I held
It could put fear into anybody who didn't have the willpower to go against him I could see his bright white aura and feel the strong haki he was letting off.
As he walked up to the scaffold it made many citizens pass out unconscious and shrink back just from his sheer presence.
Interesting enough his Haki was about 5x stronger than that of the emperor himself which is definitely saying something considering he was at the peak of a humans capabilities.
So I may be able to help him hone his spiritual energy and awaken Divine Haki just as I have and with my guidance he may evolve into one hell of a fiend.
As he got closer I could see that It looked like he had black stone handcuffs on his wrist and shackles on his ankles making him walk a little unbalanced.
He had beat up tattered and filthy clothes which had cuts and holes making it able to see that he had many scars and wounds from war or being tortured and abused.
On his the left side of his entire body I could see a white mark of some kind that almost looked like a tattoo or a birthmark it was pulsing and turning from white to gold continuously.
Since I still had control over my mind and thoughts i could still use telepathy to ask Kana what it exactly it could be.
"Kana what is that mark on his body, do you have any idea what it could be or where it originates from?"
[Kana]:
[<<Answer: The mark of a dragon god is the symbol of the inherited Will and power of a tribes ancestral dragon deities, who were seen as gods long before other races started to populate throughout the world.>>]
[Kana]:
[<<To put it simply it's a rare mark only given to the chosen one of a tribe granting them a portion of the dragon gods power, so it will glow hot in the presence of any dragon deity…>>]
[Kana]:
[<<Furthermore it would seem this is a rare commodity among the Dragonborn race, as it seems he may even have the potential to evolve and become a true dragon on his own in due time.>>]
"Hmm, interesting, what exactly is a true dragon though?"
[Kana]:
[<<Answer, A true dragon has immeasurable energy levels, beyond the spiritual energy of A Royal Dragon but not even a Demi-god.>>]
[Kana]:
<<[They are ranked below Demi-gods, True Deities and gods… but with our guaidance I'm sure we will draw out his potential to the fullest! Also his bond with the dragon deities mark is incredibly strong as well.>>]
"Hoh I see… I have another question though, why do I get the feeling all of a sudden that you've become much more sentient?!"
"You are speaking really fluently and you know almost every question I've asked, where do even find that stuff out?"
[Kana]:
[<<Notice… You must be imagining things, this is how I've always been, I have a vast amount of knowledge and it's grows everyday just by analyzing your surroundings.>>]
"Maybe…perhaps you're right."
"Wa-Wait right there…you're definitely trying to deceive me aren't you!"
[Kana]:
[<<Sigh…>>]
"Kufufuh, so you can't hear me now huh?! You know getting treated like this is really unpleasant partner!"
[Kana]:
[<<My Apologies master.>>]
"We'll it's fine, I was just kidding haha, anyways I assume he knows I'm a mythical dragon and can feel my presence right now… well that makes things easier I suppose."
[Kana]:
[<<Thats Correct.>>]
He also must've noticed the mark on his chest pulsing too, because he looked down to examine his mark.
After he did he had a look of astonishment and confusion as he must've knew as well why his dragon mark was glowing…
This could only mean one thing a dragon deity was nearby he now knew that there was a chance this could be his revered master the one who'd said he'd show him true freedom at last.
