The Arcane God - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Memories From The Past [IV]
Daghr glanced around, and saw hundreds of humans around him doing different tasks, all at the same time. He grunted and muttered. “Hmph, stupid humans.”

With utmost annoyance, he walked around the magical tree with his hands behind his back, feeling the changes in the power of the surrounding energy.

It was at this moment that the dark-forest leader of the dreads, Myrgath, began to quarrel with some members of the Birch tribe. Within a few seconds, the argument had heated up to a boiling point.

Before they knew it, a number of the clansmen were sent flying towards the tree from the impact of the sudden attack by the bulky man.

Some magical fruits, and blood were splattered on the magical tree. Mushy fluid and blood were dripping to the ground horrifically.

These humans were levels below these high-ranking dreads who could already transform into full human shapes. How could they stand the attacks?

Such a big impact immediately attracted the attention of hundreds of the clansmen. When they saw what had happened, they quickly raised the alarm.

How could an outsider dare to go unhinged on the ground of the Birch tribe?

Before long, the villagers had gathered from all directions.

The intruder was only one person, but he had the strength to attack many Birch clansmen at the same time, knocking them against the magical tree in a blink of an eye. None of them survived.

Not knowing that this person was a dread, they thought he was a very powerful refiner, and must be a high-level one. So, the clansmen picked up their weapons and surrounded him.

But no one moved to attack him. He was human after all, they thought. So, they were waiting for the clan’s patriarch since they had already sent someone to deliver the message him.

“Here’s the other one. They came here together.” Some clansmen who had sharp eyes and memories uttered. They remembered seeing him came in with the bulky man a while ago.

So they pointed him out, and immediately, hundreds of clansmen surrounded also Daghr.

Seeing that the Secondborn of the dragon clan was also being entangled by humans,

Myrgath suddenly became angry again. He felt embarrassed to the extent that he began to fume heavily. How could he hold his head up high in front of the Secondborn after bringing him dishonor?

It wasn’t his fault, the Incident that happened before. He didn’t want to make a big fuss when he came here, but the humans told him to wait until tomorrow to get a unified number of magical fruits to buy which angered him for a while.

But he got over it after killing them. In his mind, it was better not to cause too much uproar, after all, the Secondborn was here today to enjoy himself. So he couldn’t afford to spoil the good mood of the dragonborn.

Hence, he decided to wait for the leader of the human tribe to come over and settle the matter.

But when he saw that Daghr was also surrounded by humans, and that the Secondborn was not happy about it, he lost his senses. If the humans wanted to embarrass him, then he would embarrass them in return.

He raised his hand, uttered a dark spell, and a gust of wind emanated from his body, sweeping the surrounding humans several feet away.

Then he roared loudly, and turned into a gigantic bugbear, more than three meters tall. He held a giant mace in his right hand.

“The dreads, the dreads are here!”

“Raise the alarm!”

Chaos erupted in the village, and the tribesmen ran back to their huts to bring their bows and other weapons, and kept shooting at the dread, but their attacks were all blocked by an invisible shield around him.

The dread walked up to Daghr, and said, “Secondborn, please, don’t be annoyed. Give me a moment to deal with these humans and I’ll bring you more than enough magical fruits.”

“Go ahead.” Daghr smiled slightly and said. “They are just an eyesore anyway.”

Myrgath laughed and said. “Secondborn, please be rest assured, I know what to do to them.”

After finishing speaking, he infused his essence into the huge mace in his hand and swung it in a circle, nine times in a row, releasing a storm of dark energy.

Any human it touched was quickly turned into ashes which disappeared into the storm.

“Stop hurting my people!” With a loud roar, a huge arcane carronade appeared out of the thin air, and a loud banging sound followed.

A large magical cannonball spewed from the artillery towards the dread with incomparable power.

However, the dread didn’t panic when he saw the cannonball, but swiped his mace forward, sending forth a powerful hellstorm which contain residual ether from all directions.

It blocked the way of the cannonball. With a booming sound, the two energy collided, releasing a huge shock wave.

In the midst of this huge explosion, the magical tree still remained motionless.

It was Kai’s father, Londyn, who attacked. He was a fire mage, but his power base was only of silver. The reason why his attack just now appeared to be equal to the attack of the gold-level dread was actually due to the dread’s doing.

Just because he saw that his clansmen were being killed, he fired an all-out attack in anger, and also, the dread’s attack had already been diminished to half in power. So it was only half of its power was left to face Kai’s strike.

But most importantly, Myrgath had to ensure the safety of the tree, so he he allocated a portion of his magic power to enclose the tree.

Therefore, under the full blow of Londyn’s attack, it’s power appeared to be equal to that of the dread.

After the sound of the energy explosion, both the human and dread stopped and did not fight again.

“Myrgath?” Kai couldn’t help being surprised when he saw the real person behind the attack, and quickly said a few words to the members of the clan who came with him, and they bowed before leaving.

“Do I know you?”

Londyn raised his voice and answered. “Myrgath, the leader of the dark forest dreads? Why are you attacking my people? You and I have never had misunderstanding before, so why are you killing my people?”

As soon as he finished speaking, three whistling sound came from the distant. Three flares of red lights were fired into the night sky, exploding and converging high in the air, but not dispersing.

Myrgath laughed and said. “Are you Londyn, the leader of the Birch clan? Let me ask you this, why are you still calling for help? Don’t you know that before your kinds arrive, I could have killed you, and leave whenever I want to leave. We should have met on a different day. Today should have been an honorable day for your clan in receiving me, and the Secondborn of the dragons, His Highness, Daghr. But your clansmen have no discerning eyes to recognize greatness when they saw one. Anyway, it’s not that it’s a bad thing to die in the presence of the Secondborn. It should be regarded as an honor.”
