Chap 42

In the sky, a large and majestic bird was moving at high speed.

It was of great beauty and just wanted to admire it and prayed to it.

However, at that moment, and despite appearances, the aura that emanated from it was a sign of the opposite.

From a closer perspective, the bird, which was a Phoenix, exuded an oppressive and murderous aura.

Any person or creature too weak and close to it would be sent to hell or even killed.

Its eyes were icy and overflowing with anger and contempt.

The dragon's actions were, for Shin, despicable.

For a dragon, his pride had fallen very low to do this kind of thing to weak humans.

In his former life, he had learned to respect life, he already had some understanding of right and wrong and had a great appreciation for peace and "justice".

And with his new position as "God of Life", his sense and respect grew.

Although he respects the lives of others, he has recently learned to withdraw it if necessary.

-----------------------------

\ In a cave located in a mountain /

At the far end of this cave, a large silhouette could be seen.

There was nothing human but rather reptilian.

We could not really see her appearance because the cave was much too dark, even her silhouette was barely visible.

The only thing that could be distinguished in the complete darkness was the smoke that appeared in a repetitive period.

Accompanied by this smoke came a blast so strong that it could blow away several trees at its sole contact.

This breath was like a violent storm, yet it was only the nasal breath of the sleeping dragon.

The dragon of Despair, a very powerful dragon that was inferior only to Acnologia, Igneel or other exceptions.

As he slept peacefully and carefree, bloodthirsty violet eyes opened and appeared in that darkness.

The pressure, the aura of death around him and those violet eyes in the darkness gave the dragon an evil and sinister image.

Most people would feel despair at the mere sight or mention of it.

Here is one worthy of its title.

"Who does this aura come from? I don't know."

A deep, cold voice was heard in the cave.

The voice resonated throughout the entire cave and seemed to come straight out of the underworld.

*CROAAAR*

--------------------------------

Shin finally arrived at his destination and with what he saw, he was sure he was in the right place.

In front of him was a black mountain, devoid of vegetation and color.

Everything around the mountain seemed to be corrupt to the root.

The corruption only stopped within a radius of a few dozen meters around the mountain.

The difference was visible with the demarcation on the ground.

On one side of this demarcation there was a large, beautiful and lush forest and on the other side was a forest and mountain torn from all life.

Even a single small shoot of grass could not be found.

Hovering in the sky and looking at this landscape, Shin extended his Life Energy forward to propagate it into the dead zone and revive it.

Only, when his energy was ready to enter the dead zone, it was stopped by a foul, dead aura.

The Life Energy continued to push this aura forward with ease to make its way through until the aura suddenly intensified.

"Who dares?!"

A powerful and angry voice was heard coming from the mountain.

Shin retracted his Life Energy and squinted his eyes towards the person who had appeared.

Towards the top of the mountain, in front of the cave entrance, a great dragon appeared.

It had black scales as dark as night, large sharp thorns were present on almost all of its body and eyes, the lower part of its belly and part of its wings were colored purple.

The dragon looked at the creature in front of him and then squinted his eyes, surprised to see who it was.

" Celestial Phoenix..." mumbled the dragon, but his voice was strong enough to be heard by Shin who was hundreds of meters away.

Seeing the appearance of the creature in front of him and the aura it gave off, he had guessed who it was.

The existence of the Celestial Phoenix had already spread throughout the continent.

Its existence and power was already almost at the top of this world, giving very few existences capable of facing it.

But it was also known to be a magnificent creature, giving off a healthy and pure aura and helping humans against dragons.

Already Shin's actions disgusted the dragon, so as he felt this aura and the Energy of Life, his disgust was even deeper.

It was the opposite of his own.

"To what do I owe the visit of the Heavenly Phoenix?" Putting aside his deep disgust, the dragon asked sarcastically.

Shin's eyes were always wrinkled, cold and staring persistently at the dragon.

The dragon of despair did not seem to waver in the face of Shin's power.

After all, they are both on the same level.

Moreover, his arrogance made him believe in his superiority.

"Why are you killing these weak humans? They didn't ask for anything. Do you despise life?" Shin asked in a voice that seemed calm but deep down was murderous.

"Ahaha!"

The dragon laughed like crazy at Shin's statement.

"Heavenly Phoenix you are wrong, I do not despise life, I despise the weak," said the dragon with arrogance and disdain.

"Why should beings like us pay attention to such weak and detestable creatures?" The dragon retorted with contempt.

"I respect that the strong and the weak are meant to serve us!"

"You, the Heavenly Phoenix, are stupid to help such weak creatures"

The dragon shouted with pride of his power and disgust and contempt for humans.

"...Stupid" pronounced Shin always in a calm tone, cutting off the dragon's frenzied laughter.

"What did you say?!" The dragon, having heard Shin, went into a dark anger.

And looking at Shin, he could see in his calm and cold eyes disdain, contempt.

He was being looked at the same way he looked at the weak?!

'Unforgivable!'

The dragon's anger intensified more and more, his aura and magical power went wild and the pressure increased dramatically.

"I said you're stupid," Shin repeated softly.

Shin's aura and magical power increased as the dragon's increased.

The dragon took this action as a provocation.

His pride had been trampled on as if nothing had happened!

He wouldn't let this affront go by!

"Who do you think you are?! You think you can kill me?! Know your place!"

The voice of the dragon fell with power as the sky above him grew dark and lightning struck.

"...Yes, I will kill you."

Shin once silent, spoke to say only a few words.

But this time, his eyes and voice, once wise and calm, became cold, anticipatory and murderous.

Shin had returned to his cold, sovereign and domineering image.

The opposite of his image of the God of Life, the God of Death!

The air around became stagnant, the sky above Shin also became darker and lightning appeared.

All the sky miles away was black, the lightning struck and roared the earth screaming for blood.

The wind was blowing in storms, trees were blown away, the earth trembled and lifted and the sky rumbled.

The magical power and aura of the two was at its peak and the pressure was unbearable.

The two eyes pulsed with power and the urge to kill against each other was abundant.

With all these reactions, the fight was announced to almost the entire continent!

*BROWN*

*ROARR*

And with these two roars, the beginning of the battle of two over-powerful and legendary creatures was announced.
