Chapter 133: Chapter 133: The Sovereign of the Skies
The Grand Castle of Balaur, the Drakalon City.
The twins, Jane and Lily, accompanied by their older sister, Mira Leisurus, strolled leisurely as they explored the ancient castle.
At one end of the walls, majestic dragons were intricately carved into the stone.
There were five dragons in total—two of them Eastern dragons and the rest Western dragons.
Mira was instantly captivated by the carvings, standing still and gazing at them for a couple of minutes.
She seemed to forget about safety precautions, perhaps aware of the shadow soldiers secretly protecting her and the twins.
Lily looked back and forth between her older sister and the illustrations, not understanding why Mira was so engrossed.
Suddenly, Lily felt her viewpoint change, and she found herself in the arms of her older brother.
"Big brother!" Lily swiftly wrapped her small hands around his neck.
"Big brother, carry me too," Jane pouted, looking at Sam with moist eyes, as if feeling betrayed.
"Oh, my precious Jane." Sam felt his heart break, looking into those small, moist green eyes.
He immediately placed Lily on one side of his shoulder and made Jane sit on the other side.
Mira's eyes gleamed with an unknown light, seemingly jealous of the twins, though she wouldn't admit it, as it would only embarrass her.
Sam glanced at the illustrations she was admiring. "The five dragons you are looking at were the first generation of dragons. The five dragon clans that exist today originated from them."
"The man they are bowing their heads to," Sam pointed at the figure of a man floating in the air, his robe fluttering.
Below him were two Eastern dragons and three Western dragons respectfully bowing.
"He was the first progenitor," he turned his gaze back to Mira, smiling lightly. "You've heard how he was related to me, right?"
"Yes," Mira nodded. She was aware of Sam's true identity and relevant information about his past life.
Sam didn't see a problem with letting her know about this.
"I want to go out with big brother," Jane asked, pursing her small lips and rubbing her cheeks on his cheeks.
"Baby, we are going out. I actually came here to get you and your sisters," Sam smiled and patted her head.
"Really?" Lily asked with eyes sparkling.
"Yes, really," then he looked at Mira. "Let's get going, then."
"Wait, I'm coming too?"
"Of course. Didn't I say you should go out more? Starting today, my dear sister, you are to fulfill your role as my older sister and accompany me wherever we go," Sam suddenly said and waved his hand as Mira began to float, and then they disappeared.
When Mira opened her eyes, they were in the center of the Drakulon city.
She was in Sam's arms, his arms wrapped around her waist, while Jane was sitting on his shoulder and Lily was sitting on his arm.
They saw Lenora, Mia, and Rin Yagami, the Tigerkin, waiting along with Amelia, Yuna, Ophelia, and his family members.
"Well, everyone," Sam looked at his mother and others with warm smiles.
"Son, do you have to go alone? Why don't you have the elders accompany you?" Helena asked worriedly.
"You have nothing to worry about, mother-in-law. My husband is their ancestor and the father of progenitors. No one in this world is capable of posing a threat to him," Rin Yagami said proudly.
"Trust me, you are worrying too much," Ophelia placed a hand on Helena's shoulder.
"Alright," Helena gave Sam a hug and a kiss on his cheeks before letting him go.
"Don't worry, Mother. I will be back before you know it. When I come back, I would have made you the mother of an emperor," Sam smiled, patting his mother as if she were a child.
"Dear, are you guys just going to fly to the continent? Take the Cloud Carriage; it will be more efficient," Adriana suggested, but Sam had other plans.
Sam smiled suspiciously, "I already got that covered."
Sam shook his head, as if searching for something in all directions, leaving everyone confused about what he was doing.
His hair grew, flowing to his shoulders, turning blonde; his eyes turned green, and on his forehead, a pair of horns grew, curving backward.
His aura, representing the madness of the dragon progenitor and his authority as the son of the universe, spread instantly, covering the entire continent.
Strangely, it didn't affect any of the dragons, as if all of this were targeted at a particular being hiding for millions of years, forgotten by all those thriving in the Azure Dragon Continent.
"Seiryu," his lips parted gently, a word that had never been spoken before, a name that had never been answered to before escaped.
The world went silent before a tremor began to shake the ground.
Everyone in Drakulon City felt the changes in the atmosphere.
"W-What's going on?" Ava was uncomfortable, but Sam appeared and caught her body.
"Aunt Ava, you easily get flustered, don't you?" Sam smiled, which made Ava get embarrassed and bury her face in his chest, easily forgetting about the tremor she was feeling.
"You are so cute; I want to eat you right away."
Looking into those desire-filled eyes, Ava felt like giving herself to him right here, but unfortunately, they were in public.
"What is that?" Lorraine's words brought them out from their own world.
Looking at the thing she was pointing to, they saw a huge shadow of a dragon forming in the clouds—or should I say, the clouds were taking the form of a huge dragon that easily covered the entire sky from their point of view.
"It's been a while, huh, Seiryu?" Sam smiled, nodding his head. "Still a showoff, I see."
Amongst the clouds, two bloodthirsty eyes appeared, looking down at the cultivators as though they were mere ants.
"It's... It's the legendary continent guardian, the Sovereign of the Skies," Adriana said with a shocked expression.
The thing she had only heard of in stories, seeing it in person and realizing that it's all real brought out a strange feeling within her.
She didn't feel afraid of its appearance. Maybe it was because of Sam's influence as the dragon progenitor or because she trusted Sam and believed that everything was under Sam's control.
The dragon, formed from the clouds, moved gently, instantly blasting away the clouds, sweeping away the dust, even breaking some wooden structures just by its pure air pressure.
When the dust cleared, what came into their view was a monstrous Eastern dragon, its azure scales reflecting light that could blind anyone.
Its blood-red eyes seemed to hold endless depth, capable of inducing endless nightmares in anyone who gazed at them.
It had a huge tail that swirled around onto itself, appearing like it had no end.
Its eyes turned towards the person who gave a very familiar and strange sensation, and its red eyes widened in what seemed to be surprise.
"Yes, it is me, Seiryu. No need to be so cautious," Sam said casually, as if speaking to a long-lost friend while pointing at a huge dragon that could easily destroy a city with a simple sneeze.
"My lord, my king, my creator," a voice as loud as a nuclear blast, as majestic as a god, as monstrous as a demon, echoed, but the azure dragon didn't seem to be opening his jaws.
The dragon lowered its huge head while its snake-like body remained still in the sky.
"Yeah, yeah, enough with the praising," Sam narrowed his eyes as if dissatisfied with something.
"My Lord, have I dissatisfied you? If so, please forgive me," the dragon's voice resonated in everyone's ears, leaving them dumbfounded.
Never in a million years would anyone here have expected that a dragon with the power to destroy a continent easily would be groveling to a teenager, well, an abnormal kid anyway.
"There have been a lot of things happening on the continent, yet you ignored everything, haven't you?"
"But, my Lord, it is you who instructed me to ignore any problem arising on the continent and only interfere with danger concerning the entire continent. I was only following orders," the dragon said, sweating rivers, literally.
Sam sighed. "I know. I really regret doing that."
