Draconic Pets Evolution System

Chapter 140 Exterior Threath To Endearth

"Somehow, I feel dumbfounded that you really think so, but on the other hand, I am also proud. It means we, the elders, are doing quite the good job as guardians," the Half-Fallen one said with a hint of prideful mirth, though her face soon regained its focus.

"But now that you'll be leaving soon for the Ascension Academy, perhaps I'll let you in on a few secrets..." she added, the loudness of her voice slightly toning down as Ryuk's ears perked.

"What secrets?"

"In this world, Ryuk, we're never alone," the Half-Fallen one said, all bits of jest and casualness leaving her face as Ryuk's eyes sank into their depths.

"Have you heard of the Knulls?" she asked, and Ryuk nodded.

"We of the Ten Families have had no choice but to bond together with other races and, along with ourselves, to fight them. And yet, do you know, we are still losing?"

"Right now, as we speak, Ryuk, there are some places in this world where the flames of war are still blowing, and the smoke has yet to recede."

"The Knulls are overwhelming opponents Ryuk. Truly overwhelming, and right now, this facade of peace is only maintained because there is a truce between us and the Knulls."

"A truce which is slowly teetering as years go by, and which will soon be broken. The Knulls, for reasons unknown for the past 50 or so years, suddenly have the strongest of their powerhouses going into slumber..."

"The smaller, less powerful Knulls, due to this, are standing down and refraining from battles. And we Endearth participants are also using this moment to catch our breath and regather our power."

"But if you think the Knulls are the only problem we Endearths are facing, then, oh, how wrong you are..."

"There are Dimensional Gates appearing and appearing again, with new existences and entities descending from them into Endearth, here and there."

"There have been three records where entities rivalling the Knulls themselves have stepped forth into Endearth through those Dimensional Gates..."

"And mind you, the lowest number of casualties in these catastrophic events ranges from millions of deaths and more..."

"But you've never really heard of them, have you?"

"The Dimensional Gates and their Entities?" the Half-Fallen one asked as Ryuk shook his head.

"Then do you know who you should be grateful to for that?" she asked, and Ryuk's eyebrows furrowed before they widened.

"I am knocking this into your brain so when you're taken for a simple excursion and you're then faced with the most hellish beasts you've ever seen in your life and asked to survive for a few days..."

"You at least know to call your scythe into your hands and react as fast as possible."

"I... I never really knew that is how it is," Ryuk mused, feeling sorry for his earlier statements about the top Ten Families being childish bickerers.

Only now did he know they were perhaps the people facing the most pressure.

"You were never meant to know. So, it's fine if you're a little bit ignorant," the Half-Fallen one said before she suddenly called his attention to something.

"And speaking of your scythe, Ryuk. There has been a little problem," the Half-Fallen one said as she turned her full attention to Ryuk, her eyes narrowing into slits.

"And what is that about?"

"The meeting I went to was because of you, Ryuk. There is a debate amongst the elders of your battle with Ignatius."

"More of the abilities you have displayed during your battle."

"Your transformation, to be exact."

"The Fallen Elders fear it greatly."

"There is a power mixed in with your transformation. A power that resembles a race that was never meant to be..."

Unconsciously, Ryuk's heartbeat began beating faster and faster as he struggled to keep his calm.

'Fuck.'
