The Villain's Story

Chapter 614: [614] Dragon tongue.

The first part of the scripture that was written in dragon tongue mentioned a singular being, Shape Shifter of the Divine, Trickster of the profane. Although at first glance the titles may seem as if they belong to two different entities, the rest of the paragraph confirmed that it was indeed one.

What was more... It was that according to the passages, the Shape Shifter of the Divine, and trickster of the profane was a primordial being, one on the same level as Ariel, and the other heads of the Dragon Houses.

If he was getting this right, The primordial being had attempted to kill shi whilst being consumed by sinful wrath... Well, attempt was maybe the wrong word, He succeeded in it.

Now it made sense, why a supreme of death could die. And how it happened before Ariel or the other supremes of the Shivalkulan house could react. Certainly, if it was a primordial aided by his children, who should be of the supreme rank, then it was entirely possible.

Shi had died to a primordial, and quickly as well. But he was wrong about one thing. The scripture stated that death had come to enact vengeance. Ariel...had gotten her revenge, and in quite a gruesome way as well.

Death, or Ariel in this context, had apparently killed the Shape Shifter of the Divine, Trickster of the Profane, and also his entire bloodline. If he was to compare according to the empire of the dragons.

Ariel had annihilated the house of the Shape Shifter of the divine, trickster of the profane. The primordial entity who met his death was a god beast. The words ʼBeastly bloodʼ and the other mentions of the god beasts hinted at that. No, it practically confirmed it. The Shape Shifter of the Divine and Trickster of the Profane was a primordial god beast.

Who, unsightly and shameful of him and other beings of his rank, had fallen into a wrathful frenzy...and thus this resulted in Shiʼs death. He was still confused by this part. How could a primordial be driven to wrath? Beings of his rank shouldnʼt have had such a short temper...if they did, they would never reach their rank.

””

ʼOn second thought...ʼ

Suddenly, he thought to himself...a certain primordial he knew also had a short temper... And that one was directly involved in the annihilation of the Shape Shifter of the Divine, and Trickster of the Profane.

”... Maybe their long lives did something to their heads.”

Alan also noted that divinity and profanity were, once again, used for the same being, something that should be highly unlikely. The Shape Shifter of the Divine...and The trickster of the profane had a similarity to Arielʼs mentioning of having possessed both Divine and Unholy blood. If unholy meant profane in this context, of course.

Furthermore, it hinted at two wars. One which was waged against the void, or something like that. It seemed that in this one, the God beasts and the dragons were allies of each other... However, that relationship had soured due to a mistake the god beasts made in that war.

They had been forgiven for such...but the actions of the Shape Shifter of the Divine and the Trickster of the Profane simultaneously had ruined the relationship once more...and thus caused the second war.

The war between the God beasts and the Dragons. He had very little information about this, he only knew that the Shape Shifter of the Divine, Trickster of the Profane and his children, all but Jormungander had died, killed by death itself. Their existences erased.

He doubted that was the last of it, though, Ariel probably kept their souls to torture to pass time. Knowing her...definitely.

This was new information, he didnʼt know there used to be more than seven Primordials. There were two wars...so how many lives had been reaped in these? If there was something the God beasts and the Dragons had to ally against... it must have been dreadful. Did primordial beings die in that one? And was it just the Shape Shifter of the Divine, Trickster of the Profane, who had died in the war between God beasts and Dragons? Or were there more.

Had a Primordial Dragon fallen, as well?

”No, that canʼt be right...”

Aranusʼs and Jameʼs memory held the memories of the primordials of the Dragon Race, there were five, and they existed since the dawn of time. Now how much of that was true... he had to find that out himself.

”What about the other one?”

The first passage... he seemed to understand a little bit or more, but the second one? He was completely oblivious to it. He could glean some things, though.

The only being mentioned in this passage was the Phoenix, the fire bird, the progenitor of his bloodline. The one gifted to him by Suleras. Now... What did it mean by voyage into the void?

He had previously thought it was an entity, due to how the words written in dragon tongue described it... But if the Phoenix has ventured into it, then did it not mean it was an area?

So was the first war against something that spawned from this area, where the Phoenix took a voyage too... But then why?

The way the Fire bird was described...was like it was also a primordial being. So how did he have that beingʼs bloodline? Suleras had told him he defeated the Phoenix and acquired his bloodline... But now Alan learned that that was bullshit.

Suleras, despite being the strongest, or one of the strongest supremes...could not defeat a Primordial no matter what. So how did he acquire the bloodline? That was not possible!

He could discover the true originʼs of his bloodline later, but what did the passage mean by the Voyage of the Phoenix. It described it having forgiven its species of their sins, and thus saving them from his species wrath. But what were these sins? The mistake that they had made during the first war against the void? Or the mistake of the Shape Shifter of The Divine, Trickster of the profane?

”No, itʼs got to be the first one. The Shape Shifter of the Divine, Trickster of the Profane, already paid for his mistakes...”

He was still confused about the second passage shown to him by the words... But before he could contemplate further, he heard an earth-shattering roar rock his entire body, and make the sea beneath his feet surge forth.

His body stopped moving, as if he was in a trance. The darkness surrounding the church deepened, and blocked his vision. His vision...which could perfectly see during the night.

Even dragon eyes couldnʼt pierce itʼs veil now, the abyssal darkness was frightening, and cold.

It seemed the protagonist of this informative Nightmare had finally made his appearance, Valus, the Supreme of Darkness.
