Chapter 23 - Demonize Evil Dragon

Arriving at a small stone cottage out of the village, Mahaveer knocked gently on the door.

He has a smile on his face whenever he thinks about the blessing bestowed on him by his lord.

There are only three ways to obtain a unique ability, the most common was born with ability at birth although it is quite hard to awaken it.

Another way to obtain the ability is through their predecessor, through inheritance.

And the last by the Gods that the individual worships. It is the rarest case where one could obtain an ability.

It is the only way that a deity could lend strength to their followers. They themselves couldn't ascend to the mortal world.

After a while, the faulty wooden door creaked open.

Appearing at the door was a thin and lanky old man. He did not seem to be in good health, his cheeks pale and lacking color, making him look weak and sickly. The most catching thing was that the old man doesn't have ears on his face.

According to the villagers, the village chief who was over sixty years old could already be regarded as pretty long-lived in this world. His long years had made him more knowledgeable and experienced than the average villager.

"Mahaveer, where were you? The village is quite in chaos after that stupid John falsely saying that Mountain God saves him and…"

"He got some divine blessing…" Before the old man could complete the sentence, Mahaveer commented.

"Yes… Didn't you think that now he is fooling everyone in the name of Great Mountain God? This is a great sin!" The old man scoffed.

"Maybe he is telling the truth, maybe the lord himself saved him and gave him a blessing," Mahaveer implied, he was smiling all the time when his grandfather scolded John. Nonetheless, the smile on his face doesn't look great.

"Mahaveer, What are you saying? The Great Mountain God was severely injured in his last battle. It was impossible to recover in only 500 years. Didn't I tell you already?" 

Mahaveer glanced at his grandfather and chuckled. He wanted to see his expression when he will tell the truth.

"My lord is inevitable, 500 years are enough for him. He is really back grandfather…"

As Mahaveer finished his sentence, they suddenly heard a grunting loud voice.

Soon they saw a man running towards them with worry and fear on his face.

"Village chief, I have bad news!" The young man shouted, panting as he tried to catch his breath.

"The demonized evil dragon king is attacking our village because of the outlanders' portal forming at the bottom of the Mountain."

"What?!" The village elder exclaimed, the wrinkles on his forehead growing deeper with worry.

Outlander portal!

The place from where outsiders come to the Primary Mountain. Most people don't know its real existence. They don't even know that the Primary Mountain is not even a place.

It is a prison!

On the other hand, the Demonized Evil dragon Race was extremely fierce and bloodthirsty creatures that have some connection with Royal Dragon Kings of the outside world. Its size was twice that of tigers and lions, with monstrous strength that could kill any normal with one blow. Growing on its tail were large, sharp bony spikes shaped like a dragon's teeth. Even a team of hunters of their village wouldn't be able to put a scratch on it.

Nonetheless, they rarely attack the villagers. Just like villagers, their real enemy is an Outsider.

Every time they come to this isolated world, they would capture some Demonized Evil dragons and their newborn child.

According to the Village chief, they use  Demonized Evil dragon eggs as ingredients and Evil dragons for their parts and mount.

"It seems that the descendant of the King was born and he wanted us to fight with the outsiders with him to protect his child this time. Impossible! We will all die if we assist him." The old man fiercely said.

"Mahaveer, let's go, we have to talk with that stubborn bastard."

**

The village which had been rather quiet up to that point suddenly burst into action in response, with many capable villagers coming out to protect their homes with crudely made weapons.

They hadn't even done anything before the chiming abruptly stopped, and was replaced by a harrowing wail.

Soon after, the wooden lookout tower collapsed, and from the ashes came a monster that looked like a grotesquely black wolf, with bony scales covering its body. It sauntered into the fray slowly with its bloody evil aura, terrifying tail sweeping and creating clouds of dust as it shuffled closer to the village.

Even though it stood on four legs, its eyes were already on eye level with an average human, showing exactly how large it was. 

It also has wings on its back, but it is only capable of simple flight rather than flying. Nonetheless, This monster was stronger and more powerful than its kin!

He is the King of his race.

At this point in time, there were villagers who had already tried to attack the Demonized Evil dragon, but the monster had enough power to snap a human into two along with their weapons in one bite. However, it rarely attacks with its full power.

Most of the time, it tried to dodge their attacks.

The Demonized Evil Dragon was so fast and agile that even the arrows that the hunters were proud of could hit it. Even if a stray arrow hit, it would be deflected by the bone plates on the monster's back, unable to cause any effective damage.

Suddenly, the Evil King lifted its head and fixed its gaze on the entrance of the village.

It smelled the scent of its old friend but also sensed the danger that came along with it.

It growled in anger and pounced in their direction.

Feeling a sharp gust of wind coming in his direction, Mahaveer huffed coldly and stared at the monster head-on.

"Old devil, help me this time!" The demonized Evil Dragon King spoke.

"No… you think we are someone who can defend ourselves from those people. How many times have I told you not to give birth to your lust at this time. Now, fuck off!"

"_"

The scene that unfolded in front of his vision stunned Raj to his core. He could not believe his eyes. 

The old man is too scary...

Previously, He decided to follow Mahaveer and watch what he would do.
