Chapter 13- Land of Barbarians

Hyades, the agreed name of the world by Eight Great Beings and Four Dragon Kings. There are many continents which were inhabited by races that have been created by Nine Creator Gods. In one of the continents is where the Barbarians almost live. It is almost mountain ranges and volcanoes. It is hottest in the day and coldest at night. But there is a special place created in this continent and where the first generation Barbarians have been created.

It is said that one time, Moldok, the God of Flame and Destruction punched the mountain ranges in all directions, magma flowed and when solidified became a natural road for his creation. As for why he did that, no one knows.

In one of its countries. There is a lake full of fishes, beasts and monsters roam. There may even be Sea Races that were created by Dinestes, they roam for sea products that they can banter for anything. And Barbarians are one of their barter partners.

There are many Barbarians fishing or fighting a beast. And women doing house work or administrator work. There is a famous saying that "men fight and women rule." It is not about women ruling the Barbarian lands but because Men of Barbarian tribes wanted to become stronger every second and fight the beast while Women wanted to grow in intelligence and wisdom. And so they created a harmonious atmosphere but when Men wanted to choose the path of intelligence and Women who wanted to become stronger, no one would comment about it.

It is because of Moldok's declaration of creation "Power and Intelligence can't become apart from each other, you may desire to become strong but never forget the brains I have given you all. Without intelligence, you all are only a mindless beast but without power, you all are a cowardly beast. Become the courageous beast. The prideful but never arrogant."

The women anonymously chose to do administration work while men do all the fighting but when time calls for it. The men can use their intelligence and women can show their might.

"Honde, drink more." A loud voice boomed out in the surrounding area but many Barbarians never cared for it.

"I will refuse about it, Aldo. I will be cursed by the Dragon God if I were to be found drunk." It was followed by a voice of decline. It may not be loud but the majesty of its voice can't be denied.

"Tsk, tsk. Dragon God is no fun. Is the taste of tea superior to this taste of wine? Answer me, Honde." Aldo, the Barbarian Warlord of Thousand Strikes, questioned his long time friend, the Earth Collapsing Dragon Lord. A Dragon without any affinity for any attributes but he has an abnormal strength that can rival any of the Four Dragon Kings.

"Try not to curse at him too much. The Dragon God awakened not too long ago." Honde replied with a smile. He was one of the Eight Dragon Dukes, and the first generation of Dragons that was created by Dragon God. The Eight Dragon Lords may be weaker than the Eight Great Beings but they are still respected and have a lot of Influence in Dragon society.

"Bastard Dragon God. Sigh, the world is exciting isn't it. We are free on what to do and the world is ever changing. Just the other day, a mountain full of iron appeared." Aldo's ever changing emotions are not new to Honde. They are friends of life and death. Aldo, the Barbarian Warlord of Thousand Strikes preferred spear rather than ax, he was also the first generation Barbarian and a direct subordinate to Apocalyptic Warrior, one of the Eight Great Beings.

The world of Hyades is becoming larger, albeit slow but overtime, it will become larger to what it was today. This is the world without restrictions, without the fear of their creation rebelling towards the creator.

"But why did you hate the Dragon God so much?" Honde asked because it was one thing he wondered the most about and what he wanted an answer today.

"Well, I only wanted to hate him to become stronger real quick. When I was but a mere weakling I was envious of the Apocalyptic Warrior, why he chose him and not me to be blessed and so I cursed the Dragon God that day. I was struck by lightning and gained the ability to become stronger while in battle. And I cursed him again the other day and gained the ability to have my defense become stronger the more someone hit me in a battle." Aldo proudly told his dear friend on how he gained his abilities.

"Ah, but don't curse him like I do, when I gained the ability the other day a transmission had been brought to me that said 'You are the only guy I have given permission to curse me. And the other will die by the weight of their words. I have found you amusing so entertain me more." He said in a serious tone.

'This, isn't it unfair, Dragon God?' Honde thought but by thinking again, he had no reason to say unfair because just the other day, he found a flower that makes his strength grow in power and just last year, he found a fruit that makes his scales sturdier than ever.

Dragons are blessed by the world's providence. They can find a treasure just by the side of the road. But the province has a huge responsibility. If they somehow forgot about that responsibility, they can forget about the providence.

Gods wanted to have their species a piece of providence but they can't carry all the weight of it and only Dragons have that kind of attitude to carry them. And speaking of providence, beasts and abominations have the providence to destroy the world and by slaying some, races created by Nine Creators can have a piece of luck and the others are being absorbed by the world to continue a cycle.

"Dragon God surely has a weird taste but he will not be the Dragon God without that attitude." Honde replied with a serious tone.

"That bastard of a God will never be a god with that kind of attitude. Look at our creator, he emphasizes the use of brains and brawn in the lives of Barbarians making us thrive." Aldo said with a proud expression.

"Ah, you mean the 'punching bag of Dragon God when he was not in a good mood'?" Honde replied more while teasing Aldo at his own games.

"Honde, my bones are beginning to be weak lately. Why not stretch out a little?" Aldo replied with a serious fighting spirit on him.

"Hoh, my friend. You lost to me 365 times, don't you want another beating?" Honde replied while stretching out his body. His gray color reminiscent of the Dragon's Breath by Ragnarok glistened with power and might.

"My friend, you also lost to me 365 times. Don't be so smug." Their aura clashed with each other making the air around them chaotic. The houses around them become debris in an instant.

"Well, we have a draw of 1826 times so this much is fine." The Earth Collapsing Dragon Lord said, his eyes becoming sharper by the second but it returned to normal and suddenly laughed.

"KUKUKUKU"

"KEKEKEKEKE."

The Barbarian Warlord of Thousand Strikes can't be left behind and also laugh. The Barbarians didn't care about the banter and only did their job but someone can be heard whispering "Again" because this became a daily occurrence.

"Oh, what do we have here?" A voice of majesty sounded in every corner. The confidence and how his body pulsed with strength and terror made everyone tremble. No, they literally are trembling right now. Their whole beings screamed with delight as what they have seen is their creator.

A hair made of flame, his body is sculpted that it was beyond perfection, a transcendental beauty of epic proportions. His eyes held immense fighting spirit. Barbarians have two pairs of hands and one pair of eyes but he was different; he only had a pair of an arm because it was not his true form.

The world can hold his very presence because Ragnarok especially seals all his authority, no he sealed all of sibling's authority because coming down here with authorities is unfair. They are making it easy by having their authority.

He also sealed a portion of their raw powers but everyone of them is strongest, a lot stronger than Eight Great Beings.

All Barbarians then stopped what they were doing. Their hearts boiled with excitement and fighting spirit. The area around all becomes of fighting spirit that it becomes suffocating for weaker beings.

A Barbarian warrior who had a great sword on hand then vanished from where he came from and suddenly appeared at the back of Moldok. Moldok only smiled and kicked him. It was faster than a blink of an eye that when a domino had fallen, the other would follow suit.

And a grand ramble began. Moldok loves his creation very much but he can't also interfere directly with their daily lives because of having a mortal desire and wisdom overtime but when Ragnarok tells them that "only a weak God will have something like that" he then decided to come down and help them develop.

He hated the fact that they are not using their fighting spirit in battle and using the flimsy mana and so his first lesson to them is using their fighting spirit.

Honde on the other hand flew out and observed the warlike situation that was happening. Their copper skin glistened in the surroundings. His friend, Aldo, is also trying to skin the God of Flame and Destruction. Maybe it was the reason why he likes the Barbarians as they have a close connection to their God meanwhile the Four Dragon Kings came back dejectedly and tried everything to their power on how every species interacts with their Gods.

All of them have become accustomed to talking to them. Only the people who have seen and talked to their Gods are able to believe and worship them with their heart and soul but others worship them half heartedly. Then Four Dragon Kings announce a new Lord, the Life Essence Dragon Lord, her daughter will become the Saintess of the Dragon Race, only equal or even higher than the Four Dragon Kings. The supposed Eight become Nine overnight.

When he was contemplating all of it, the agony of all Barbarians can be heard, his friend had the most injury. He then comes down as it will be disrespectful to the Creator God.

"Greetings, Divine Uncle. The Creator of Barbarians, the Brightest Flame, the Sun God and the God of Flame and Destruction. My name is Honde, a lowly dragon speaking to you." He bowed his head to Moldok while speaking. The only time they will kneel is for the Dragon God and nothing else.

"Honde, the blood brother of my creation Aldo who for some reason is having a blessing to Ragnarok. Do you want a blessing?" Moldok smiled as he looked at Honde and Aldo with knowing light.

"I don't dare, oh Divine Uncle. That foolish brother of mine is being watched by Dragon God because of his underhanded methods." The Earth Shattering Dragon Lord replied.

"Then I will give this to you. I apologize for the childish design." Moldok then found some items, a helmet for a Dragon. He just created this item on a whim and he sometimes tried wearing it to Dragon God and he experienced hell that day.
