Prophecy

"I didn't have the foggiest idea why the Brown Mane tribe revolted, the status they enjoyed in our kingdom was not in any way or form inferior to our imperial tribe

It was just later, that a spy acquired some information from somewhere. An ancient prophecy that had been passed down in the main circle of the Lionmen tribe for centuries.

"A prophecy?" Erza Zephyr was curious.

Mirza Zephyr gritted his teeth, as he spat out each word.

"The Dragon Lion will swallow the Red Werewolf and the Lionmen will rise to an unrivalled power!"

"The Dragon Lion will swallow the Red Werewolf, and the Lionmen will rise to an unrivalled power?"

Erza delicately rehashed these words, however, he failed to comprehend the importance behind them.

"I don't understand, father"

Mirza Zephyr's eyes became red. Exceptional sorrow overwhelmed his eyes as he gazed at Erza Zephyr.

"In those days, I also didn't comprehend the importance behind these words, until that day.

After the Bloodfang empire was crushed, I drove what was left of our kin, and persistently withdrew. The Brown Mane family of the Lionmen tribe firmly persuaded us till we reached this present Red Sky City underneath our feet. However, the Brown Mane family just besieged us and didn't assault, as though they were waiting for something."

"What were they waiting for?"

Erza Zephyr felt a feeling of uneasiness.

Mirza Zephyr gazed at his only son. From the demeanour on his face, maybe he was crying inside. The combination of such hopelessness and outrage made Erza Zephyr's heart shake.

"They were waiting for you to be born."

Mirza Zephyr's words made Erza Zephyr's heart shiver viciously. He had been surprised totally.

By the side, Erza Zephyr's mom, Tania Inviastus, was at that point covering her mouth. Cries that had been suppressed to her limit

"Do you know what it was like when you were born?" Mirza Zephyr looked at Erza Zephyr with red eyes and continued. "My son, the second you were born, a mysterious sign showed up in the sky. An unknown energy twirled around you, and a wolf howled that shook the land. It was the indication of the legendary Red Scaled Wolf spirit

Your 8 gates normally open upon entering the world, permitting you to skip the Gate Opening stage and directly break through to the Qi Brightening stage.

This is known as the legendary spirit of our ancestors, the Red Scaled Wolf spirit, which bestows upon one the potential to reach the more noteworthy cultivation stages. As our Red Werewolf family's remarkable holy beast spirit, you would have sparkled as brilliantly as the sun and moon, and have the life span of the land!

Mirza Zephyr's voice was spilling over with emotions, while his whole body savagely shook. One could imagine exactly how emotionally moved he had been when Erza Zephyr was born. Destiny had not abandoned the Red Werewolf family after seeing that the other families of the werewolf tribe were joyed as well. But Alas! Soon, their happiness vanished when they realized that they were still surrounded by enemies.

Erza Zephyr's eyes widened. He couldn't completely accept that such a thing had happened when he was born.

"Then... then… why?"

His hands shuddered slightly, as he touched his body. Since his 8 gates were normally open, for what reason they were presently absent in his body?

Mirza Zephyr's passionate voice went to an unexpected end. The brightness in his eyes appeared to evaporate totally at that moment. There was just bottomless sorrow inside them, as he clarified in a blue way.

"When you were born, Duke Brown Mane's wife also brought forth a child outside the city. Golden Lion Qi curled around the child's head, he was blessed by the destiny as well.

Moreover, according to the information we got, Duke Brown Mane's wife had been pregnant for an entire 4 years without giving birth to an offspring, yet she unexpectedly gave birth to a son that day

I never got why, yet it at long last turned out to be clear at that point. It is said that those brought into the world on that very year, month, and day have the power to devour one another's martial spirit. It was clear that the many years of plotting by the Brown Mane family was not designated at the Bloodfang Kingdom but at the legendary beast spirit of our werewolf tribe!"

Erza Zephyr's mouth opened and closed. A chill quickly spread from the bottoms of his feet to the highest point of his head.

"It was a scheme!"

How should there be such a coincidence? This plot had been prepared for a hundred years and was aimed at their Red Werewolf family… an excellent scheme that was specifically focused on him.

For this, they had even utilized all means to prevent Duke Brown Mane's wife from conceiving offspring for a very long time. It was done to wait for Erza Zephyr.

Mirza Zephyr nodded his head and proceeded in a hoarse voice.

"It was, without a doubt, a plan. The Brown Mane fami... No, the entire Lionmen tribe had calmly hung tight in the Bloodfang Empire for a few hundred years. They had faced our conflicts for us and acquired our full trust. Nonetheless, who might have expected that their century-huge delay was in support of your appearance?

That day, Duke Brown Mane entered the city and threatened the lives of hundreds of millions of Red Sky City's citizens. He wanted to snatch your legendary beast spirit in front of your mom and me"

At this point, tears of blood streamed out from Erza Zephyr's eyes.
