《Tourism Record of the Origin Dragon》Record 048: Aftermath

Advertisement

Aurora's soldiers, Deceased: 0, Injured: 0.

After Origo flew away, the priest managed to temporary broke the apprehension and had the knights throw aerial restrain spell at the dragon, much to the crowd's confusion.

As they chased after Origo, the soldiers received an order to stay still, not helping nor stopping either party of the chase.

As soon as the knights ran out of the gate, the king gets onto the slightly broken stage and had a propaganda speech about how the Holy Knights are actually imprisoning The Origin Dragon for their own benefit; and they just gave him a favor and earned a Blessing.

The Blessing gave the King a greater benefit than others. After the speech, he secretly went to test his element with an Origin Scale. The raise in Holy have neutralized the Dark element in him, thus the scale turned Golden yellow like any of his predecessor / ancestor.

"Mother, I finally cured the curse of your bloodline. I have to thank the Origin Temple for bringing Origo here... but they are still our enemy."

Origin Temple's Holy Knights, Deceased: 6, Injured: 0.

Not counting the Priest, the group has suffered a great loss. When they set out, there were a squad of dozen. Now with only 5 knights, they received the order from the high priest to return to Origin Temple.

"I want to return to the Inn to rest.." One of the knight tiredly says.

"Origo has cooperated with the king of Aurora." The priest, who is walking in front of the group, calmly speaks. "They have antagonized us."

"How do you know that?" Another knight asks.

"I am the new Oracle." The high priest bluntly replies.

Back in the Origin Temple, the Oracle's chamber.

Vicis stands up from her spot. Her long white robe that spreads over the ground slowly retract itself as she seemingly float into the air. The light particles in the garden dance according to her motion. The level above her head flickers, disappears and reappears, her Lv changes randomly from single to three digits, however it never exceeds 125. Despite breaking the Lv99 Cap, if any mortal looks at her Race, it only shows Human or Elf.

"So in the end, you still use your Name as a weapon." She seemingly says that to no one. However, her next words make it sound like she was talking to someone. "Why didn't you use it earlier?" ... "Didn't you know that it would happen anyway?" ... "Your thinking frame is strange." ... "Well, I'm only hijacking your power, you see."

She slowly raises her arm, bringing the whitened Origin Scale to her field of vision. The scale is her connection to Origo, and with Origo leaving the temple, she could only borrow a bit of his power.

After taking a last look at the scale, she releases it from her hand. The scale slowly floats down and hover in the middle of the garden. With a wave of her hand, the white particles in the air converge on her and decorates her dress. Losing contact with Holy element, the scale returns to its original black color.

"I am Vicis, the God and Goddess who is the Time itself." The moment s/he says that with a dual male-female voice, his/her status stops changing and stays at [Lv125 Primal Deity] "I pray to my Creator, Origo the Origin Dragon. May his power guides me to the moment I desired!"

The white robe shreds itself into white particles. Before being fully naked, the skin shows cracks all over and shatter, falling inward to the humanoid portal that was Vicis. The white particles in the air soon follow, returning the chamber to the dark.

"Temporal Relocation!"

With the command, the massive amount of Mana accumulated in the chamber suddenly collapses onto the portal, squeezing it into an unimaginable small singularity in a fraction of time, effectively 'pushes' it out of the Timeline, archiving Time Travel.

Around 2000 years ago.

Different from the present fake-peace, this era is full of War. In the previous wars, the creatures that participated were very destructive. They shaped the continent to the current shape with their power. The sparse human were like candle in the wind. A weakest spell and the human would become ash...

However, after those War, the powerful species' population dwindled, leaving space for the human's population to grow. At a certain point, conflict between human's settlement (country/kingdom) started, leading to the self-massacre of human.

The reason for all kinds of war in this world are mostly the same: The Origin Dragon. In this case, the human who had relatively low battle potential, found out about the Exp Blessing when serving the Origin. And, Greed for more power was all the force it took to push the continent to constant war.

Origin Mountain.

The Origin Temple hasn't been built in this era. The Origin Dragon is sleeping peacefully on a flattened ground in front of a chipped mountainside - result of an ancient war.

Inside the mountain, space distorts. A portal appears out of nowhere, carrying a large amount of mana. It's power shaves away the rock a few diameter around it, forming a chamber inside the mountain. Soon, a body reconstruct itself around the portal in a form of a male with short black hair. His naked body is soon covered with a robe of the same color.

"This place looks much better without those stupid flowers." The man - Vicis's male form, says. The nature of Time is weird, so does Vicis's personality.

With a wave of his hand, Mana forms an invisible drill and more rocks are shaved away, forming a tunnel leading to where Origo is sleeping. Different from his female personality who loves using Holy element, he thinks it's more suitable for a Primal Deity to use pure Mana.

He steps out of the mountain. A huge black dragon peacefully sleep there without a care to the world.. and a single man kneeling in front of him, quietly praying something.

"Hey kid, he won't hear you unless you pray for another two thousands years, six months and two days." Vicis walks around the dragon to beside the man.

"Who are you calling kid?" The man raises his up to look at Vicis. He wasn't a kid but rather a young man in his early twenty. "Prim..primal Deity?!" Noticing Vicis's status, he shifts his position to kneel with his head next to Vicis's robe.

"All mortals are mayfly in my eyes. Let's skip all the introduction and small talk since I knew all the past and future anyway. Since you want to stop the war, I will bestow upon you the power to do so, to save the world." Vicis speaks in rapid succession, much to the man's confusion.

"Th..thank you! I will even sacrifice myself if necessary."

"You will.. you will..." Vicis mumbles in a low voice then turns to look at the dragon. A tiny shining droplet has already formed in the corner of his eyes. It's the Ancient Artifact - Origin Tear.

I yawn while listening the lizard's request. It's a strange feeling as I thought this body can't feel tired. A tiny bit of tear accumulate at the corner of my sleepy eyes, but I'm afraid that I'd poke my eyes out with my claws so I don't bother wiping.

"Um?" The lizard looks up with a confused face.

"Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you, I don't like being worshiped. Ask again." It's not like I would let that childish lizard die, but his probably wasn't so bad since I saw no blood.

"Please..." The lizard bows down in kneeling position again.

"Try again." Before he can say much, I interrupt him with a fake cough.

The lizard stares at my feet then shudder. Why does he shudder? After thinking for a moment, he stands up, frantically tries to shift through various positions.

"Never mind then..." I sigh at his pathetic attempt in finding a non-worship but respectful posture to ask.

"No, please save my brother! I will do anything you ask for!"

"Whatever, I was going to save him anyway." I step over his head and tiredly waddle to where the human is. My swinging tail accidentally hit the confused lizard and gives me 24 exp. "Sor..." I abruptly stops my apologize, thinking it would be too problematic if we end up at that fanatic topic again. However, it comes to my attention that this [Lv32 Wind] lizard doesn't have extra point in Def, yet he managed to weave through the Lv60 knights unscathed. Even the bare-handed fighter who supposed to have decent Def had to hide behind Earth walls.

The human puts down the wounded lizard and lays him down on the ground next to the Toothpick. I collapse on all four to have a closer look. Both of the lizards wear the same out fit. They are nearly naked with a strap runs diagonally from their left shoulder to the right waist then goes around like a belt to hold some piece of leaf or feather acting as a dress-like underwear. There are a lot of pockets on the strap, probably to store their stuffs.

Without the need to undress him, I can see the wound. A single white bolt is piercing through left abdomen. It's pretty small for me but I know it could be a serious wound due to blood loss. The strange thing is, although the bolt is opening a hole as big as his wrist, there was no blood flowing out.

With the tip of my claw, I tap the bolt side way, confirming it as a Holy element bolt. Pulling it out would be a bad idea since it's probably holding the blood. I should heal the wound immediately after pulling this thing out.

"Hey human, pull the bolt out."

"I have a name..." The man retorts.

"I am Origo the Origin Dragon..." Ignoring the man, I start chanting. "I order to the Nature element, heal the.. guh?" The spell fails easily.

"What's wrong?" The man stops the hand reaching for the bolt.

"It's the first time I cast healing spell." I shrug.

"I remember being taught Nature Healing magic, but I couldn't make it work too." The older lizard says. I know the reason for his failure, but it's too bothersome to tell him.

"Give me the chant then."

"It's something about summoning healing medicine on the wound..."

"Screw that, I will use another element." I only plan to use Nature because it's the patient's element. "I am Origo the Origin Dragon, commanding to the Holy element..." White particles start forming around us. The older lizard enters a trance watching the scene while the human reach his hand over to pull the bolt.

"Arghh!" He pulls his hand back before even touching the bolt. "It's burning just by touching!"

"Then my brother.. he must be really in pain!" The lizard kneels down to examine his brother then looks at me with teary eyes.

"Itss... okay... brother..." A faint voice comes from the wounded lizard, attracting attention of everyone. "I can't.. be ssaved... anymore."

"What are you saying? The Genesis Dragon could do anything!" The lizard says then looks at me again. With more and more white particles appearing, his teary eyes shine brightly.

"Disparate this bolt!" Instead of a healing spell, I decide to remove the bolt first. "Dispel!"

The particles swirl around the bolt. Small white explosions happen around the wound as the two forces collide. However, each white particle barely chips off a piece from the bolt. If not for the resulting fragments, I wouldn't notice the chipping at all.

After all mana I supplied to the spell is spent, the bolt barely loses its tip. This is the first time I clash head-on with someone else's spell. My low stats are far from enough to dispel a Lv60's bolt.

"Geness..Genessiss Dragon..." The wounded lizard's cough interrupt him.

"Brother!" The lizard shakes hold his brother closely while looking at me. "Please help him!"

"Neon.. it was nice traveling with you..." The human says in a low voice. "So hang in there!"

"What do you want?"

The wounded lizard silently pushes his brother away then says something under his breath. I lean my head down close to the dying lizard to hear his request.

"Pleasse... take care of my little brother..."

"I will..." I lean closer to him. "Now, rest in peace."

[126 Exp received!] He had 21 HP left.

[You are now Lv8]
