Chapter 484 - 27: Liberation (Part 3)
The facade of magic dissipated, and several Scholar Mages, clad in scholar robes and mage’s robes, stood proudly, alongside several towering Warriors, who showed no fear in the face of the many Dragon Kings.
The robes of these Scholar Mages emitted a powerful Magic Radiance, a spectacle beyond the comprehension of the Dragon Kings. Additionally, the black-haired Warriors, donning only Light Armor for convenience, exuded an ineffable aura that left the Dragon Kings speechless.
This was something the Dragon Kings could not find in this world—not the psychological pressure that comes from high status, but a palpable and powerful sense of oppression.
It was akin to when these Dragon Kings first attempted to tame their Giant Dragons, experiencing the oppressive presence of the Dragons’ immense size.
Despite their elevated positions and control over the situation, it seemed that their opponents held the upper hand.
"Capture them," each Dragon King loudly commanded.
The surrounding private Samurai swarmed in, attempting to seize this strange group.
Yet these strange individuals were absurdly strong, as the weapons in the hands of the Warriors could, with a simple swing, sever the ironware and steel blades of the elite guards protecting the Dragon Kings and then lethally split the Samurai in two.
These powerful Warriors charged around the Scholar Mages they were guarding, storming through the hall with such force that not a single Samurai could withstand even a single round against them.
These elite Warriors, chosen specifically to protect the Scholar Mages, were the most formidable in all the Legions of the Dragon Empire. Even though, for convenience, relatively weaker humans from various Imperial races were selectively chosen, they still could not be withstood by the Samurai of this world.
Moreover, among them was a Warrior officially serving in the Imperial Legion of the ’Burning Hooves’.
With a splat,
one Samurai after another surged forward, only to all fall beneath the sword of the Legion Warrior, while the Scholar Mages unleashed magic and maintained a Magic Barrier to ward off the Fireball Skills cast by the Red-robed Monks and Red God Priests in exchange for blood and fire.
Yet they seemed remarkably leisurely, as if strolling through a crowd.
As more people packed into the hall, the Scholar Mages signaled the Imperial Legion Warriors to fight their way out, abandoning the idea of subduing the Dragon Kings on the spot.
"Even if the God of Light, who bestows humanity with flame and warmth, wishes to perform miracles or borrow his power, humanity’s Fire of Life must be the cost,"
the Scholar Mages moved toward the hall’s exit, laughing loudly: "As long as the Cold God and his minions remain, this endless sacrifice will continue to exist,"
"However, as long as the King of Light R’hllor exists in this world, the ancient Alien God—the Cold God, will not be eradicated. They are two sides of the same coin in your world; neither can destroy the other, nor become the other."
The Scholar Mages shouted: "You are merely pieces in the divine chess game, caught between the two gods of ice and fire, used as weapons and sacrifices for slaughter, destruction, and sacrifice. The flame of civilization will flicker forever without growing strong."
"As long as the gods live, this eternal conflict will persist. Humanity will forever live in a cycle of killing and being killed, and even the Demon Dragon is merely an extension of divine power. This is the tragedy of the divine spirits born with the world, and the sorrow of the world."
The multitude of Dragon Kings, priests, and monks were both shocked and enraged, listening to the scholars’ brazen words. Suddenly, a blinding light, like the first light in the deepest darkness, dazzled everyone’s eyes.
The Dragon Kings, priests, and all Samurai could no longer see anything in the world clearly, hearing only the Scholar Mages’ taunting voices.
"Return to my master, believe in my master, and your civilization will shine brilliantly, your souls will find peace, and your divine spirits will be freed!"
