บท 282: REVENGE FOR THE DRAGONS’ BETRAYAL
REVENGE FOR THE DRAGONS' BETRAYAL
"Why will you offer your hearts to me? Don't tell me it's because of your agreement, the Dark Angel was long dead. That deal was off", I replied to the dragon.
I don't really want the dragons' hearts, no matter what deal they may offer to me.
"Tell me, Incarnate of the Dark Angel, do you cherish your life and freedom?" Xexgana asked me.
"Yes, I do", I replied to him.
Xexgana nodded at my answer before pausing for a moment to think. Then he made a proposal to me.
"There is a trial in the Temple of Dragons. If you pass our trial, you may obtain all of our hearts. That is our rule and tradition", Xexgana told me.
"What trial?" Meera asked.
"You must obtain the sword behind me and kill someone for us", Xexgana told me when he moved aside to show us a sword stuck in the walls of the cavern.
"This is just an ordinary sword", Sara told us.
"It is an ordinary sword now but once imbued with the flame from the garden of Eden, it becomes the Sword of Angels. The only weapon under heaven that can kill the souls of angels, the Angel who wields the sword can kill another angel with it, including himself", Xexgana told us about the sword.
"Why will I want to get a sword that can kill myself in the future?" I asked.
"That is precisely our trial. Only if you will kill the Dark Angel with the Sword of Angels, you shall pass our trial and obtain our hearts", Xexgana told me.
"This is so confusing, why must master kill the Dark Angel to get your hearts? The hearts are meant for the Dark Angel", Meera asked.
"He is making the trial this way so that nobody will be able to pass the trial and claim their dragon hearts because nobody will kill themselves to obtain the dragon's hearts", Sara told us her opinion.
"You got something wrong girl, we didn't ask you to murder yourself, only the Dark Angel and you don't have to do that now, you couldn't, maybe later", Xexgana replied.
Xexgana could probably read my heart. The dragons' trial was exactly what I needed.
I needed a weapon that could kill the Dark Angel inside my soul in case it would attempt to possess my body one day when he fully revives.
The Sword of Angels was that weapon.
"I'll take your trial", I replied to Xexgana.
"Then we have an agreement", Xexgana replied to me.
Xexgana and the dragons were once subservient to the Dark Angel and had to sacrifice their hearts to him periodically. Despite the death of the Dark Angel, that pact probably still exist.
It was possible that the Dark Angel would one day come here to claim the dragons' hearts by force even if they would not willingly give them up.
So, they came up with a solution.
They wanted to tempt me with an offer to be freed from the burden of becoming the Dark Angel. He wanted me to kill the Dark Angel before he is fully resurrected and he showed me the way and gave me the weapon to do it, the Sword of Angels.
The trial wasn't really a trial for me, but a contract for me to eliminate the Dark Angel for the dragons and end their slavery to him.
"How do you know that I will accept your trial?" I asked Xexgana.
"Because I read it from your mind when you came here. Why do you think I didn't kill all of you if I read something differently", Xexgana told me.
When we first came to the temple, Xexgana read my mind with his magic. He found out that I was a reluctant candidate for the Dark Angel, so he decided to make a bet.
Xexgana bet that I would kill the Dark Angel for him with the Sword of Angels and would not take their hearts.
If the Dark Angel was killed by the Sword of Angels, which was a permanent, un-resurrectable kill, the sacrifice pact between the Dark Angel and the dragons would be terminated.
"Master, we cannot agree to this trial, you cannot kill yourself with the Sword of Angels", Meera told me.
"Don't worry, I won't be killing myself any time soon. The Sword of Angels will be useful against other angels too and would become valuable to me. Obtaining the sword is more valuable than the dragons' hearts", I replied to Meera.
"Meera, this is the best deal. The dragons will not give up their hearts without a fight and we are not ready to fight them now", Rinna told Meera.
"Yes, I respect your plan", Meera said to me, unsatisfied with our compromise with the dragons.
"Well, we will not send you out of the temple. You may go now", Xexgana said to us.
Suddenly, a powerful whirlwind surrounded us in the cavern that surprised us.
"What the hell is going on?" Sara asked.
"Tricky Dragons. How dare you scheme against me", a voice shouted out from around us that echoed throughout the cavern.
All the slumbering dragons were suddenly aroused by the powerful voice.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"No, it is the master. Why didn't you say your Sword of Malevolence has already been formed? He can control its magic," Xexgana asked me angrily.
"You didn't ask me. The Sword of Malevolence is formed but its magic is not complete", I replied to him.
"The Sword of Malevolence's magic is not lacking. You merely lack the ability to control it but the soul inside you can", he said to my surprise.
Suddenly, dark clouds formed like claws emerged before me that rushed out toward Xexgana.
Xexgana quickly breathed a powerful fire at the dark clouds, but his flames were engulfed by the darkness completely. Soon, the claws from the clouds pierced into Xexgana's chest.
"Arggghhhhhhh"
Xexgana screamed as his heart was taken by the dark clouds of the Sword of Malevolence to our horror.
Then more dark clouds of claws and lightless fabric like magic emerged that went around the temple as they looked for the awakened dragons.
Soon, these once powerful dragons were all pierced at the chest by the malevolent clouds. Their hearts were soon taken by the Sword of Malevolence.
"I will not brood any Betrayal", the Dark Angel screamed out angrily to our shock and horror.
