Chapter 205. Storm – BREAKERS

Chapter 205. Storm

– The Legend of the Red Dragon?

The question was asked by Anastasia, not Shutra. It was a completely new story for her.

Felicia, who was sitting next to the succubus girl, looked at Ingun. It was enough for them to just exchange glances to understand each other. Ingun nodded slightly, and Felicia responded in kind.

After looking at the princes and princesses, Indara slowly began to explain:

– Yes, Your Highness. According to this legend, in the distant past, long before the era of confrontation, all the civilizations that inhabited the World of Demons were destroyed by the red dragon. He was something of a god of destruction.

The red dragon was a creature comparable to the gods, but he did not go on the same level with them.

Each race had its own myths and legends that described both the creation and destruction of the world. This is why the concept of a “god of destruction” was not new. However, Anastasia was somewhat perplexed by Indara’s words, since there was something strange about it.

– Destruction of civilizations? Not the world?

– Yes, the red dragon faced the oldest dragons of that time, and after a bloody battle, both sides were destroyed. Also, during this process, all civilizations that shone in that era were exterminated.

Ingun and Felicia’s gazes met again. In addition to them, other children of the Demon King showed considerable interest in Indara’s story.

Chris, Caitlin and Sylvanas listened to the sura with admiring faces, while Anastasia sat frowning. Although she did not know as much as Felicia, she was still an excellent magician and knew a lot. And so, she frowned because this legend clearly mentioned the existence of ancient races or, as they were also called, aborigines.

The cave in which they sat was large enough to accommodate all two hundred people at once. However, it was closed, and although Indara spoke quietly enough, absolutely everyone who was here heard him.

– As a result of the battle that shook the heavens itself, the magical flow of the entire Demon World turned into chaos, and the earth turned into a cold and lifeless wasteland… Exactly the same as here, outside the northern border. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of many people, the Demon World has been restored and made a habitable place. However, as you all can see, it is better not to go beyond its limits, since these areas have not yet recovered, “Indara said slowly, after which he fell silent.

Anastasia thought about what she had heard for a while, and then raised her head.

– Hmmmm, this is the first time I’ve heard this story. Felicia, have you ever heard of something like this?

When it came to ancient lore, Felicia was the best. As soon as the gaze of all those present turned to the elf, she shrugged her shoulders and answered:

– Yes, I heard something similar. From the giants of Curtis, I heard the legend of the red serpent god.

The reason for her exchange of glances with Shutra was to decide whether they were to tell her this story.

– Giants? – asked Anastasia, whose eyes widened again.

Felicia nodded and then glanced at Indara.

– Lizardmen also talked about something like that. They… They said that their race was specially created by one of the ancient civilizations to oppose the red serpent god.

– Aborigines… They really exist…

This was more of a statement than a question. Frowning, Anastasia pondered, and then asked:

– Indara, is this a legend of suras?

– Yes, Your Highness. This story has been walking among the suras for a long time, – the warrior answered with an aloof expression on his face. Unlike the Sanctuary, there was nothing to hide.

“Indeed, it would be amazing if this story was a secret.”

True, the fact that concepts such as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Dragon of Kechtulla did not appear in the story meant that it was greatly simplified.

– This is… Can I ask one question? Carrack asked, raising his hand sharply. Indara did not think that an ordinary orc would ask something instead of the royal children, so he hesitated for a moment.

– Don’t be shy, ask.

However, Karrak was Shutra’s assistant, and therefore Indara did not object.

– You said that humans helped restore the Demon World. These people… You mean the keepers? The orc asked with trembling eyes.

– Are you saying that after the disappearance of the keepers, the lands again become desolate? – made the logical conclusion of the still silent Chris, to which Carrack nodded.

– Yes.

That is why the children of the Demon King were sent to different parts of the Demon World. The lands that lost their guardians became wastelands, absolutely uninhabitable. Most of this happened on the borders, but also affected other places, and therefore all this was a fairly well-known phenomenon in the Demon World.

Indara nodded as he had heard about it too.

– Maybe.

– Paul Anger, – said Felicia suddenly. When all eyes were fixed on the elf again, she sighed and cast a spell that caused a large and translucent sphere that covered the place where the children of the Demon King were sitting. It was a magical shield that was used to prevent any sounds from leaking out.

Descendants of the Demon King concentrated even more, and Felicia, looking at Ingun, said:

– Shutra, weren’t we fighting in Anger’s Fields to protect Green Wind? If the Green Wind or that temple were destroyed, then the Anger Fields would no longer be green.

Along with Shutra, only Felicia was on the Anger Fields, although she did not fight for the temple and its guardian. However, it didn’t matter if she fought or not. Everyone else quickly understood what Felicia was talking about.

– If this story explains the ultimate purpose of these purple aura creatures attacking the Demon World… So they want to turn the Demon World into an area like this? Chris growled.

It made sense. Apart from Felicia, none of the Demon King’s children knew all the details about the Four Knights of the Apocalypse. If the entire Demon World becomes like all the northern lands beyond the border, then to a certain extent their goal will be achieved.

“But…”.

Ingun felt that something was missing. If that was the purpose of the Death Knight and War Knight, then they should be more active in attacking the Guardians.

– Maybe Green Wind knows more? – asked Felicia Inguna, but he just shook his head. He has spoken to Green Wind about this several times.

– Indara, don’t you know anything else either?

– The story of the red dragon is not very common. But here is the Duke’s Sword… I’m not sure, but perhaps he will be able to tell more, – answered Indara, who himself first heard about Paul Anger.

– You will need to check everything. It was a good story, Indara, “Anastasia told him.

– Thank you, Your Highness.

Once it was over, Felicia removed her shield to protect herself from eavesdropping. The reason for such warnings was primarily due to the fact that the Anger Fields could turn into a desert if the temple was destroyed. In this regard, it was clearly not necessary to dwell on such things.

The soldiers sitting around wondered what they were talking about, but none of them asked anything. This was a personal matter for the royal family, and therefore they did not poke their noses there.

The warriors ate jerky meat and drank hot water, which miraculously appeared from Ingun’s inventory, and then fell into a deep sleep. Even the ogres fell asleep instantly, further proof of how harsh the march was today.

Felicia, who lacked ogre resilience, tried to sleep as well, but it wasn’t easy. Anastasia, dressed in her thick winter clothes, leaned against Felicia and asked:

– Felicia, did you explore the ruins in Curtis with Shutra?

– Yes, we were in the holy place of lizardmen, – the elf answered quietly.

The Lizardmen did not mention that it was impossible to talk about visiting the temple. Anastasia smiled and leaned even more against Felicia.

– You must have had a good time.

Anastasia meant that Felicia just liked it in the ruins, but the elf’s reaction was much richer.

– Uh? Yes. H-fun. T-This is… We were with Carrack and Delia. That is, we were not ourselves… Oh, yes, and there was also a wonderful fireworks display.

Anastasia’s eyes lit up from such an unexpected confession. Why did Felicia respond in a similar manner? In addition, it is clear that the center of this story was the Shutra, not the ruins.

– Felicia?

– Huh?

– You’re a little… Aren’t you acting weird? – Anastasia asked, from which Felicia swallowed.

– Oh no. It’s just…

The elf fell silent, trying with all her might to avoid Anastasia’s gaze.

– Prince, it seems to me that your smiles make the princess feel even worse, – putting his hand on Ingun’s shoulder, said the orc.

– Hmm-hm.

Ingun tried to wipe the smile from his face, but he could not. Felicia behaved so sweetly that even something in his heart stabbed.

Ingun remembered Caitlin and Felicia’s reactions the day his secret was revealed, and his smile widened. It was really nice.

Karrak looked at Shutra and clicked his tongue. At the same moment, Anastasia, clearly suspecting something of them, narrowed her eyes and asked:

– Shutra, what did you do with Felicia?

– Sis!

This was pretty much the same question as the 3rd Queen Sylvia. Since Felicia and Shutra remained silent, Anastasia’s suspicions became even stronger. And a second later, Caitlin sat down next to them and quietly whispered:

– I also want to watch the fireworks with Shutra.

Her words and movements were also very cute. But now, while Ingun was undergoing another attack, there was a loud laugh from Chris, who put his hand on his sister’s shoulder and said:

– Caitlin, as soon as we return, I will organize a grand fireworks display.

– Really?

– True, – replied the werewolf and smiled tenderly. His smile showed him more of a father than a brother.

– Brother, you are the best!

Unlike Felicia and Anastasia, who spent all their stamina, Caitlin was still energized. She smiled broadly at Chris, which created a really warm atmosphere.

However, Chris was looked at by someone else, not with warmth, but with jealousy.

– Felicia, your brother is also the best!

– Oh, stop it!

However, Felicia simply did not have the strength to fight off Sylvanas, and therefore had to endure Sylvan’s embrace.

Anastasia stared at Sylvanas and Felicia, and then at Chris and Caitlin. A bitter smile appeared on her face. She thought this behavior was unbecoming for the Demon King’s children, but at the same time, she was very envious of them.

While everyone else was resting, the royal children were still awake, and their assistants suffered the most. Soon Karrak, with the help of Delia, Seira, Sapira, and Chandra, managed to calm them down and the atmosphere returned to normal.

– Everything seems to be calm, so why don’t we get some sleep?

It would be nice if he lay down next to Felicia and Caitlin. As soon as Shutra said this, sitting next to Karrak with a sour expression on his face grumbled:

– I also do not mind sleeping next to Seira, Delia and Karma.

The orc did not name just one… And he also said “again” …

Ingun could only be glad that Karrak did not mention Diana and Sapira.

– Well, prince, come here. The prince smells great. I’ll help get rid of the cold, ” said the orc, laughing terribly.

Despite the fact that Ingun knew that Karrak was joking, he still flinched.

After the orc laughed, the cave was quiet.

Some time passed, and Shutra suddenly woke up. In addition to small reflections from Amita’s flame, it was still dark inside the cave, and the measured breathing of sleeping warriors was heard from everywhere. From the side of the entrance to the cave came the whistle of the wind blowing through the magic barrier.

Everything was the same as before he fell asleep, but for some reason his whole body was covered with goose bumps. Ingun raised his eyes to the ceiling.

Then he felt a vibration, and a crumb began to fall from the ceiling. Ingun took a deep breath and the vibration intensified. And the next moment he felt a sudden change.

Ingun immediately blew up from his place. Following him, Karrak opened his eyes.

The vibration became stronger, and much larger pieces of stones began to fall from the ceiling.

Doom-um!

With a deafening crack, the ceilings and walls of the cave were covered with cracks.

And the next moment, simultaneously with the final roar, the vault of the cave collapsed, piling piles of stones, snow and ice on the sleeping soldiers” heads.
