Thirteen Heroes "Silver" and Intelligence on the Ancient Red Dragon

The old Lancer was driven into the ground, its sharp blade, covered in a magical sheen, piercing through the rock as easily as cutting through butter.

All that remained was a trembling section of the gun barrel!

--alert!

Silently, everyone in the [Black Scripture] prepared for battle, their gazes fixed on the silver-white figure slowly descending from the sky.

An unexpected situation.

During the preparation phase, God-kin Captain and his group had already considered various possible contingencies, but they never expected that there would be outsiders obstructing their way.

No... that's not the most important thing!

"That attack was blocked, right?" A young man dressed in green with a top hat drew his rapier and whispered in astonishment.

This person is the second seat holder, codenamed "Time Turbulence".

No one responded!

At this moment, even the breeze seemed to stop, and a solemn atmosphere filled the air.

The scene they had just witnessed was completely clear to everyone; no one thought it was an illusion, only a group of people standing on high alert.

The captain's strength was beyond their reach; he had even declared that he alone was the [Black Scripture].

This isn't "arrogance," it's the truth!

Even if the captain's attack wasn't at full strength, it wasn't something just anyone could block.

"--Enemy, or..." God-kin Captain narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the figure that was gradually descending from above.

"Silver Armor... This luster shouldn't be ordinary Silver. Is it Platinum Rank? Or some other special metal?"

God-kin Captain internally assessed the situation, surprised that the opponent had managed to withstand the attack that was about to strike the Evil Tree, yet also somewhat dissatisfied.

What is meant by "Thousand Miles Astrologer"?

Did the other party have counter-detection methods if we didn't detect it beforehand?

The eastern horizon.

The blindingly bright sunlight burst forth.

Whether by design or coincidence, the Platinum Armor landed about a hundred meters in front of the group, following the direction of the rising Sun Anglerfish.

The heavy armor did not cause the expected thud or vibration upon landing; instead, the person landed very Lightness.

Rippling~

Sunlight shone on the back of the Platinum Armor, causing the spotless, exquisitely polished Platinum Armor to reflect a dazzling luster!

This can have a certain impact on a person's field of vision.

but.

The people present were not ordinary people, so they could clearly see this unexpected intruder.

The entire body is covered in bright white armor, with even the joints and other important areas encased in a more fragmented, easily movable Platinum Rank structure.

Four weapons floated around him: Lancer, a knife, a hammer, and a greatsword, all the same color!

The Platinum Spear that had just clashed had returned to its opponent's front, continuing to circle around him along with the other three weapons.

Each weapon is far too large for a normal human being, and their shapes seem more suited to aesthetics than practicality.

Abelion Hills!

Platinum Armor?

Tang Zheng jerked his back off the chair, and with the help of the shared view of the Death Omen Sparrow, a grave expression appeared on his face. "What's going on!"

Why did the Platinum Dragon Lord do this?

A deep sense of doubt welled up within him, causing Tang Zheng's expression to change repeatedly.

That's not scientific!

It was expected that the Platinum Dragon Lord would secretly spy on the Theocracy's actions, but Tang Zheng did not expect that the Platinum Dragon Lord would directly control the Platinum Armor and appear in front of the Theocracy and its members.

What is the point of doing this?

Despite being hidden in the shadows, able to observe and gather intelligence on the Theocracy, he has now appeared directly in front of the Theocracy and its members.

Given the Platinum Dragon Lord's personality, he shouldn't have done that, right?

"Seize the World Item of the Theocracy? That shouldn't be the case. The Platinum Dragon Lord doesn't know much about the Theocracy's Godkin and other related matters."

Tang Zheng frowned deeply, his mind racing as he considered various possibilities. He had initially thought that the Theocracy's capture of the Evil Tree would proceed without much trouble.

"The attempt to capture the Evil Tree in the future failed because of an unexpected encounter with Shalltear."

"Now that the Evil Tree has revived ahead of schedule, it's being blocked by the Platinum Armor... What's the reason this time?"

--At this very moment.

Deep in the northern part of the Great Forest of Tob.

While the [Black Scripture] group observed the Platinum Armor, Platinum Dragon Lord also used the Platinum Armor to observe the [Black Scripture] group.

Especially the God-kin Captain at the front.

"... Godkin, indeed, this filthy aura is repulsive under any circumstances."

Platinum Dragon Lord sized up the other man. According to the intelligence gathered by his spies, it seemed that there was more than one Godkin in the Theocracy.

In my memory.

He recalled an "old friend" of the Undead, who possessed a mind unlike that of those who hated the living, making him a unique being even from the perspective of the Dragon Race.

"Who are you?"

A cold voice came from the other side, interrupting Platinum Dragon Lord's recollection.

The God-kin Captain's gaze was cold yet eager to test his abilities.

In his mind, there was only one person stronger than him, and even if the guy opposite him wasn't as good as him, he was still stronger than the members of the Sunlight Scripture.

Logically, the Theocracy should have relevant intelligence on the strongest figures in the surrounding countries, but there are no records of them.

"This place is sealed away the Demon Gods once descended upon this world and destroyed it. Your actions just now were breaking the seal."

The Platinum Armor didn't seem to be introducing itself; instead, it issued a warning.

That's a middle-aged man's voice!

Kerry, the old man, was protected in the very center by a group of Sunlight Scripture members. His aged and cloudy eyes were fixed on the suddenly appearing unknown powerhouse.

"They merely blocked the attack just now, without showing any hostility." The old man Kerry, his upper body hunched, looked surprised. "Who exactly is this person, that they know information about the Catastrophe Dragon Lord?"

"This is something that countries today cannot comprehend."

"Indeed." God-kin Captain did not deny it. He first raised his arm and opened his palm towards the spot where the old, broken Lancer had fallen.

Whoosh!

The old Lancer stuck in the ground flew out on its own and returned to the God-kin Captain's hand at an extremely fast speed.

Such an action.

"Can the weapon be recalled automatically? Is it magic or a skill?" Platinum Dragon Lord's heart skipped a beat:

"I deliberately didn't pick it up earlier to make the enemy overlook it, thus creating an unexpected attack."

A hint of regret flashed in the eyes of the God-kin Captain, who casually twirled his worn-out Lancer, then swung his arm and pointed the spear tip at the ground.

From the current perspective...

The other party did not show any hostility, and even if God-kin Captain wanted to compete with them, he would not make an enemy under these circumstances.

"You know about the Catastrophe Dragon Lord?" The God-kin Captain had an idea and wanted to extract more information.

"The Catastrophe Dragon Lord?"

"Is that what your Theocracy calls it? I prefer to call it the Evil Tree." The Platinum Armor shook his head slightly and said calmly.

"Etc!"

Old man Kerry's eyes widened suddenly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes knitting together, and he spoke in shock:

"You are—one of the Thirteen Heroes, the ' Silver '!"

The other party's attire, along with the information that he was the Catastrophe Dragon Lord, reminded the old man Kerry of one of the Thirteen Heroes.

How could the other party still be alive after more than 200 years?

Oh, right!

Many of the Thirteen Heroes are of Demi-Human Species. The "Silver" one in front of us has a rather mysterious background and may not be human at all, but rather some kind of long-lived Demi-Human Species.

The old man Kerry exclaimed in surprise.

The scene left everyone present stunned, as the Thirteen Heroes were just legends to most people, or even just Hero biographies.

In an instant.

The tense atmosphere in the air dissipated considerably.

"Were you recognized?" The Platinum Armor asked in a slightly embarrassed but calm voice, "That was many years ago."

"I only recently heard about the unusual situation in the Great Forest of Tob, so I rushed over. Okay, let's get back to the main topic."

"The power of the Evil Tree... also known as the ' Catastrophe Dragon Lord ', is far greater than you imagine. Even the Hero of that time could not destroy it and could only seal it away."

The Platinum Armor reminded him to speak, his words implying that the people of the Theocracy were unable to resolve the situation.

Upon hearing this,

The God-kin Captain raised an eyebrow and nonchalantly curled his lip. "Just because you Hero can't eliminate them doesn't mean we can't."

"Now that the Catastrophe Dragon Lord has been resurrected, instead of trying to seal him away again, it's better to completely destroy him."

The God-kin Captain's arrogant voice rang out.

Despite his arrogant demeanor, God-kin Captain never revealed his plan to capture the "Evil Tree Evil Tree," not destroy it.

"Such a dangerous outcome... the seal that our comrades and other Hero poured their all into creating."

The Platinum Armor stepped forward, issuing a resolute warning. "I will not allow you to do such a mad thing on your own!"

Whoosh--whoosh--

Four Silver weapons began to rotate around the Platinum Armor.

The God-kin Captain also took a step forward, staring defiantly at the Platinum Armor.

A tense atmosphere filled the air!

"Wait a moment."

The old man Kerry spoke up to stop them, "We have no intention of having a conflict with you, who was once one of the Thirteen Heroes."

"However, we are confident that we can solve the problem of the Evil Tree!"

The Silver Armor turned his helmet, seemingly observing the members of the [Black Scripture] as he pondered and considered their actions.

He remained silent for a moment.

"Alright." The Platinum Armor conceded, nodding reluctantly. "I can assist you as well."

In an instant.

Everyone from the Theocracy frowned.

Their actions and plans were kept secret, and now they had unexpectedly encountered the former Thirteen Heroes, but they had no intention of letting them get involved.

The Platinum Armor stood the Unassailable.

The group at [The Black Scripture] the Unassailable as well.

The two sides reached a stalemate for a moment.

"All right."

"It seems the people of the Theocracy are not welcoming of me." The Platinum Armor seemed to only then realize the atmosphere, and gave a wry laugh in his middle-aged voice:

"I may leave, but there is something I would like to ask."

"Go ahead and speak," Elder Kerry said, stopping the God-kin Captain from speaking. His aged voice was calm and gentle.

"Does anyone know?" the Platinum Armor warrior casually inquired, "About the Ancient Fire Dragon that dwells deep within the Azerlisia Mountains."

"I consider this person a friend, and I visited them recently, but I couldn't find them."

In an instant!

The expressions of God-kin Captain and the other members of the Sunlight Scripture changed slightly.

This reminded them of their deceased comrade, the "One Man Army," whose last known location was deep within the Azerlisia Mountains.

to this end.

The Theocracy even sent the [Clearwater Scripture] to find the other side, but they were attacked by a Fire Dragon, resulting in their near annihilation.

This matter was kept secret and restricted within the Theocracy, but everyone present in the [Black Scripture] was aware of it.

During the questioning, the Platinum Armor carefully observed the changes in the expressions of the people from the Theocracy.

With the Dragon Race ' keen senses, even the slightest change in facial expression cannot escape the Dragon Lords's notice.

"The Theocracy —as expected!"

Deep within the Council State, the Platinum Dragon Lord manipulated his Platinum Armor, his amber dragon eyes suddenly turning icy cold.

After communicating with the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord, he contacted the other Dragon Lords located in the northwest corner of the continent and found that only the Ancient Fire Dragon had disappeared.

So!

The Platinum Dragon Lord secretly dispatched a reconnaissance force from the Council State to immediately investigate the Ancient Fire Dragon's dwelling place.

Besides the absence of any trace of the Ancient Fire Dragon and the disappearance of its cave treasures, fragments of clothing related to the Theocracy were unexpectedly discovered.

This was all thanks to a member of the reconnaissance team who had the profession of [Master Detective], who was able to piece together a few clues.

This led the Platinum Dragon Lord to suspect that the disappearance of the Ancient Fire Dragon was very likely related to the Slane Theocracy, or at the very least, that some kind of conflict must have occurred between the two sides.

"Could it be that Innate Talent to 'predict'?"

"If such Innate Talent exist, it seems there's no problem for the Theocracy to clash with the Ancient Fire Dragon." The Platinum Dragon Lord gradually pieced together some vague clues in his mind.

There are still some speculations that cannot be confirmed, but as long as the people from the Theocracy are captured alive and interrogated, everything will be fine.

A sudden blue light flashed in the eyes of the Platinum Armor, and the Platinum Spear that had been spinning in front of his chest was unexpectedly shot out.

At the same time!

"Captain!" Time Turbulence shouted in alarm.

Whoosh!

The Platinum Spear pierced the air with a piercing, sharp sound. With the distance between the two sides intentionally reduced by the Platinum Armor, the weapon appeared in front of the God-kin Captain in an instant.

"The Invulnerable Fortress!"

The God-kin Captain, who had remained vigilant, suddenly showed a gleam of excitement when he saw the enemy attack. He raised his Lancer and swung it:

"That solves the problem!"

Their operation was top secret, and to prevent leaks, eliminating the intruder was the simplest solution.

However, since the other party is one of the Thirteen Heroes, killing them would be beneath their dignity. Now that the other party has taken the initiative to attack, it's the best course of action.
