The Dark King – Chapter 497
Dean rolled up the scroll and came to the alchemy room. He put the scroll aside as he picked up materials and threw them into the stove to smelt. He picked his own weapon and began to practice the moves of the dragon clan.
“Dragon stabs the bright moon …”
Dean turned his weapon in a slow manner to practice the first move.
Aisha would be surprised if she saw Dean's practice. The problem was that Dean's practice order wasn't accordance with the one against a group skill set of dragon clan neither it was in reverse order.
The fire was reflected in Dean's cheek while the materials slowly smelted in the stove. The speed of his practice was still slow. Moreover the moves that he displayed became increasingly chaotic!
Time pa.s.sed…
The barbarians were forced to return to radiation zone, to their original place of residence, after the continuous campaign of the military. The forces of the military pursued them but they failed to finished them for good. Even though the military had steam rifle and the artillery but their were in an unfamiliar terrain. In addition cruel weather and erosive properties of the radiation made sure the military to lose large number of soldiers.
The soldiers were slightly stronger than ordinary people. The military didn't have enough resources to provide G.o.d's blessing to each soldier.
However the soldiers who were given 'blessings' came out with outstanding meritorious services.
Dean read on the newspapers that the fish were forced back to the sea. However the military's intention to kill the barbarians for good was a bit greedy from their side.
Moreover, Dean had seen the barbarian king's tent and observed the strong heat exuded from the king's body. It was an utter nonsense to try to destroy the barbarians with just the army unless they invited strong people from the inner wall.
Dean had more information at hand because of being an elder of the 9th region. Barbarians seemed to be the hidden danger in the radiation zone. The problem was that if the inner wall intervened then this hidden danger could go extinct for once and all. However they didn't because of many reasons. The most important reason out of all was the control of population!
The giant wall would be overcrowded sooner or later because of reproduction.
But a war would naturally and effectively delay the trend!
The speed of human reproduction wasn't low in the Earth's biological ecosystem. Even if the natural deaths were included, the giant wall would be stuffed with humans.
Dean was making a speculation and he didn't have the slightest evidence regarding the theory. However he didn't doubt his own intuition. There were many cases in the history which would back up his theory. Even if diseases, plagues and other things were included the inner wall couldn't be so empty after three hundred years!
The main reason why inner wall didn't intervene was because the barbarians were the trump card in balancing the population.
“All the walls of this world will be broken one day!” Dean whispered.
A month pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
Dean quietly went out of the commercial district and reached the western corner of the giant wall.
He was ahead of Aisha once again.
However he didn't care much about it as he sat down on a boulder and waited for her. He visualized the skill set while he waited for her. In addition there were some things that he couldn't comprehend.
“I'll ask her after Aisha comes.” Dean muttered. Aisha was a pioneer and she should have learned the Dragon clan's combat skills. Moreover some times it was much better to learn from someone rather than reading from the scrolls. After all the size of the scroll was limited and many things weren't described in it.
Dean slightly opened his eyes as he looked at the green gra.s.s that swayed because of the breeze. It was like waves of the green sea accompanied by the wind.
He felt a chill from behind.
Danger!
His pupils shrank as he felt a hint of bad feeling from behind. His eyes widened as the pupils contracted into a small circle. He noticed many red dots!
They were coming from all sides. There were some approaching from behind the giant wall while some from the wilderness. All of those red heats were in humanoid shape!
Someone was coming over!
Dean realized that the situation was against him. His intuition was very accurate so he turned and ran!
Buzz~~
A sound which was similar to buzzing of bees echoed. It seemed like something was about to cut (slice through) the world!
Dean looked up in haste as he saw the incredible scene!
A sharp spear came down from the sky. It seemed to carry infinite power. A blonde youth was holding onto it. His eyes were golden. The youth had jumped down from the giant wall!
He wasn't afraid of death!
The idea popped up in his mind. However the next moment he put it aside. IF the youth jumped from such a height then it meant that he wasn't worried about death! He quickly turned to ran as he was at a loss.
The heat exuded from the blonde youth's body was as strong as a sun! Although it wasn't on Aisha's level but was several times stronger than Francis!
He couldn't face such an enemy!
Moreover the another seven heat figures follower the blonde youth. All of them were at the same level with Francis!
It meant that they were limitless!
“Who are they? Why they want to chase me? Is it…that my meetings with Aisha have been exposed?” Dean felt the murderous intent form the spear. He turned to look at the blonde youth. The badge on his shoulder… The patterns on it…
He had seen the same pattern on the carriage the first time he had met Aisha!
They were from the dragon clan!
Dean rushed out. His blood was boiling while coldness burst in his heart.
“No! no! Absolutely not!” Dean's eyes were red.
"Haha…” A gentle laughter echoed from the sky. A giant spear smashed to the ground in front of Dean. He looked at the slender jade like legs standing on top of the spear. He concentrated on the person who was laughing. Dean was frozen on spot as earthquake burst in his heart.
