Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 174 - 151: Fall of a Saint Tier, Allegiance of the Demon Beasts
The Aurora Bird shot high into the sky and glanced far behind her.
Seeing that Amos wasn’t in pursuit, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Everything was still okay.
Although the escape had drained some of her Life Force, getting away was all that mattered.
Besides, she had already made a decision.
She could never return to the Demon Beast Mountain Range after this escape.
The true colors of the other eight Saint Tier Magical Beasts had forced her to face reality.
With the return of the Dragon Race, no Saint Tier who valued their life would dare to antagonize them, at least not for now.
However, the Aurora Bird was a little confused.
’How on earth did Amos achieve the Pure Blood Transformation?’
’This is simply unheard of.’
’Could it be that Amos truly received the favor of the Dragon God of the Dragon Race?’
’The Mighty Power of Deities is beyond imagination. For a deity of the Dragon Race, transforming a mixed-blood into a member of the Pure-blooded Dragon Clan probably isn’t that difficult to comprehend.’
’After all, the entire Dragon Race were the true Overlords of the continent in ancient times. The Deities of other races didn’t dare face their wrath, let alone a mere Saint Tier giant bird like me.’
If she wanted to live, she had to think fast. The Aurora Bird’s mind raced as she came to a conclusion.
’I have to find out if the entire Dragon Race has returned.’
If the entire Dragon Race had truly returned, she might have a slim chance of survival.
After all, the Aurora Bird was a veteran Saint Tier Magical Beast. She had even known a few adult Giant Dragons over ten thousand years ago.
If the Dragon Race had returned, perhaps she could find a Giant Dragon she knew, go to Dragon Island, and face the judgment of a Dragon Race tribunal.
Rather than stay put, waiting for that noble dragon—who was clearly on good terms with Amos—to decide whether she lived or died.
’After all, Amos wasn’t a member of the Pure-blooded Dragon Clan when I targeted him.’
She had an excuse. Now, she just had to ascertain the Dragon Race’s current situation.
Of course, during her escape, the Aurora Bird also had other plans.
She had to spread the news of the Dragon Race’s return at the first opportunity. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
At the very least, the entire continent had to know. That was the only way to sow chaos.
Of course, spreading the news didn’t necessarily require her to do it herself.
Otherwise, if she ran into a few old fossils who wanted to befriend that unknown, noble dragon, she might find herself in trouble.
’Damn it, why now of all times!’
’Even if the Dragon Race had returned a little earlier, I wouldn’t have made such a huge mistake!’
’Now, even if I survive, it will probably be hard to find a foothold on the continent.’
’If Dragon Island really has reappeared, I must go and explain this matter to the Dragon Race’s Elders. Otherwise, I’ll most likely be a wanted fugitive of the Dragon Race in the future.’
’Damn it! How did things come to this?’
The Aurora Bird was seething with indignation!
But indignation was useless. The Dragon Race was too powerful. If she didn’t go and clarify the matter, Amos would be free to slander her to his kin.
If the situation really came to that, then she would be truly finished.
Even if the Demon God returned, once her violation of the Dragon Race Code was set in stone, she would become a disposable pawn, no matter how much the Demon God favored her.
But the Aurora Bird had a greater fear: what if the only one who had returned was that extraordinary son of the Dragon Race she had just seen?
Amos called him "Your Highness."
His noble status was self-evident.
As the first scion of the dragons to return, the eyes of the entire Dragon Race were surely upon him.
Everything he did might become the will of the entire Dragon Race.
If this was the case, the Aurora Bird realized she had truly reached a dead end.
She could forget about ever showing her face on the continent again.
At this thought, a hint of viciousness surfaced in the Aurora Bird’s heart.
If that was truly the case, then no matter what, she would risk everything to hunt him down and kill him.
And it had to be done as soon as possible!
After all, if the entire Dragon Race had not returned...
Many of those old Saint Tier fossils would surely be willing to take a risk and break a taboo.
The Dragon Core of a Pure-blooded Dragon Clan member was a great prize!
As long as she obtained the Dragon Core, the Aurora Bird would no longer have to worry about her lifespan, and she would no longer be restricted by the Deities.
Then, in such a vast world, how hard could it be to hide?
Besides, if this scion’s identity was truly special, perhaps even integral to the Dragon Race’s plan to return...
...then perhaps by destroying his plans, she could prevent the Dragon Race from returning at all?
If that were the case, it would be a stroke of immense luck.
What’s more, the Aurora Bird had already seen it.
That leading scion, despite his enormous size, was nowhere near Saint Tier in his Power Tier.
There was still a chance!
At this thought, the Aurora Bird’s gaze hardened with vicious intent.
By now, the Aurora Bird was flying at an altitude of twenty thousand meters, about to streak out of the Demon Beast Mountain Range’s territory.
What she didn’t know, however, was that just behind her, ripples in Space were flickering.
They flickered with incredible speed, rapidly closing in on her without her noticing.
Just as the Aurora Bird continued to shoot forward like a bolt of light, her entire body suddenly froze mid-air.
The next moment.
The Aurora Bird seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, and in an instant, she was dazed from the impact.
The impact was so forceful that her elemental form was instantly shattered, reverting her to flesh and blood.
’What’s happening?’
Alarm bells screamed in the Aurora Bird’s mind. She knew she was in deep trouble.
But before she could even steady herself.
