Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 135 Divine Bone Realm

Burzin looked at Volkerin and nodded helplessly. He knew the pressure Volkerin was under as the Golden Dragon King. With the previous Golden Dragon King leading the ancient dragons away to explore the Star Plane, and with the deaths of the extremely old dragons who could not embark on the path to godhood, the Golden Dragon Clan was now in an awkward situation of generational gap.

The current situation is like 'when it rains, it pours', and all these coincidences are making the Golden Dragons extremely uneasy. They just hope that nothing else will happen this time, because the Golden Dragon Clan can't afford any more trouble now.

Additional information: Dragons are classified by age into four levels of strength: Hatchling Dragon, Juvenile Dragon, Teen Dragon, Young Dragon, Adult Dragon, Mature Dragon, Old Dragon, Extremely Old Dragon, Ancient Dragon, Primordial Dragon, and Ancient Dragon. Among them, dragons after Extremely Old Dragon are basically apocalyptic level beings who are above demigods and below gods. They mostly live in the astral plane and rarely stay on planets.

Meanwhile, Agreed had already returned to his Western Swamp. This time, Lester and Brecel did not disappoint him. Human villages had begun to appear in the Western Swamp. Although the population was small, it was a good start. Agreed believed that sooner or later he would turn the Orc Plains and the Western Swamp, two desolate places that people avoided, into a livable paradise.

After Agreed informed his subordinates that he was going into seclusion to cultivate, he entered the newly built dungeon, took out the huge golden dragon skeleton, and began his attempt to break through to the Divine Bone Realm.

During Agreed's seclusion, the Light Empire began to amass power, and a large number of troops appeared on the border. Kasa quickly saw through the Light Empire's intentions and reported the situation to Lester and Brecel. The three of them ultimately decided that they should not disturb Agreed over such trivial matters.

The three of them quickly devised a plan: Kasa would station over 400,000 undead troops on the border of the Kingdom of Light, while the orcs there would orderly withdraw from the land they had seized from the humans and return to the orc wasteland. After all, this land was no longer valuable; as long as the food was transported back, even if the land was taken back, it wouldn't cause any significant damage to Agred's side.

The three men's intentions were clear: to use a negligible territory and some miscellaneous troops as a buffer to test the Light Empire and see what the other side was up to. The tense atmosphere gradually spread between the two forces. This state did not last long, and soon the war officially broke out.

One midday, the elite forces of the Light Empire suddenly set out to attack the undead army. The slow-moving undead forces were caught off guard. The Holy Knight Legion, rebuilt by the Light Empire, charged into the undead horde and wreaked havoc. Kasa, watching from afar, remained unmoved, only continuously analyzing the specific strength of the opposing human army.

At this moment, Lester and Brecel were also behind Casa. After a while, Lester said with some surprise, "With the current strength of mankind, let alone attacking us, it would be difficult for them to even take back the land they have lost. What do they have to rely on to dare to attack us?"

Brecel, who was standing nearby, gave a wicked smile and then suggested, "If you add fuel to the fire, we should be able to tell what they're relying on."

The three exchanged a smile, then activated the necromancy spell 'Resurrection of the Dead,' awakening all the corpses and skeletons they had deliberately buried in the ground. In an instant, at least tens of thousands of undead broke through the earth and joined the battle. The human side, which had initially held a significant advantage, began to suffer casualties. The undead attacks were generally accompanied by plague and viruses. When facing an undead army that outnumbered their own, the occurrence of casualties meant that this battle could only be a Pyrrhic victory, because your teammates would soon become your enemies.

Upon seeing this, the marshal of the Kingdom of Light immediately used magic to communicate with the Golden Dragon Clan and requested assistance: "It's your turn to step up. The undead are really too troublesome. You need to send people to help us deal with those filthy and massive numbers of low-level undead."

The Golden Dragon Clan member, clearly impatient, said, "You expect us to join the fight right at the start? Fine, we can help you deal with those low-level undead, but you can't just sit around doing nothing. If we find out you're only trying to reap the benefits of this battle, the Golden Dragon Clan will immediately switch sides. Do you understand what I mean?" With that, the magical communication was disconnected.

The marshal of the Radiant Empire had a gloomy face. The Golden Dragon Clan was far too presumptuous. He secretly vowed that one day the Radiant Empire would trample them underfoot and make them the symbol and mount of the Radiant Kingdom!

On the main battlefield, just as the battle between humans and the undead was becoming increasingly intense, a fully grown golden dragon descended from the sky and appeared on the battlefield. The golden dragon unleashed a scorching dragon breath, splitting the densely packed undead in two. At the same time, the dragon's dragon language magic 'Holy Aura' was activated, and then a holy aura of light appeared. All the skeleton undead, lacking physical bodies to protect their soul fire, were directly purified and destroyed by this holy power, falling to the ground and turning into a pile of withered bones. The other undead were not much better off; they were basically all reduced to ashes and died completely under this holy light.

Seeing this, the morale of the human army soared, and they immediately launched a counterattack, completely annihilating the undead army.

At this moment, the three people in the distance looked at the situation on the battlefield and their expressions changed. Lester was the first to speak up and shouted, "Damn it, how could the Golden Dragon Clan get involved in the continent's struggle? That's not something we can handle. We must report the situation to the lord."

Brecel nodded and said, "The Golden Dragon race is a dragon species that specializes in defeating the undead. They are born with divine power and the strongest physical talent among metal dragon species. We don't yet know if there are any extremely old dragons or even ancient dragons, which are far beyond the legendary level and can be compared with demigods, participating in the battle. To be on the safe side, we must immediately communicate with the Lord. Kasa! I'm leaving this to you. Lester, you go and organize the undead and vampires to prepare for battle. Do not engage in direct conflict with them. Preserving our strength is the top priority. We must do our best to preserve our living forces before the Lord emerges from seclusion."

Kasa chimed in, "I understand. I'll have the orcs retreat to the swamp with their food and supplies right now. A direct confrontation in this situation would be suicide."

The three then divided the work and began to make arrangements. Meanwhile, Agreed, who was in seclusion in the dungeon, had already absorbed all the dragon bones and was in the final stages of his cultivation. Brecel returned to the dungeon and arrived at Agreed's seclusion place. After hesitating for a while, just as he was about to push open the door with trepidation, a voice rang out.

"I'm at the crucial final moment. If you need anything, wait for me outside for a while."

Brecel immediately recognized that it was Agreed's voice transmission, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to apologize, then knelt there waiting for Agreed to come out of the pass.

Time passed slowly, and about four hours later, the door to Agred's secluded training room slowly opened, and a skeleton radiating a silvery-white light walked out. The pure and beautiful light, like moonlight, gave the skeleton a strange and incongruous beauty.

However, this is not a good sign. After absorbing the Golden Dragon King's remains, Agred barely broke through to the Divine Bone Realm, but his current realm is still very unstable. The true mastery of the Divine Bone Realm is when one returns to simplicity and the divine essence is contained within. At that time, Agred's body will appear to ordinary people as just a slightly white, ordinary skeleton. He will not be in the awkward situation where his aura and strength are obvious to outsiders because the energy in his body is unconsciously radiating outwards.
