--AN) Just two chapters for today.--
The dragonic king did not know what to say to all of this. His life had always been keeping his clan at the top of the food chain but now…. He looked up at the long black haired man in the sky with glowing red eyes and felt the pressure coming off him. His power was not something he could easily defeat. There was just no way. He was stupid to think he could make a move on a city that has such heavenly beings protecting it. He realized now that he could only lower his head. There was nothing he could do. "It seems our time as the most powerful race is indeed up. I bow my head in submission."
A loud snort came from the sky, and Blake's voice filled the air. "I do not care about submission or any of that bullshit. What I care about is peace between all sides. My Destiny City will be expanding as people come to join. We do not discriminate, nor do we think we are better than others, but I can say this now. You owe me thousands of my people's lives. You are fucking lucky that I am giving Tamal a bit of face and not killing you here and now.
"Destiny City will never look down on the other races. As you might know, I even have many of your princesses as my wives. Your own kin are people I love and care about but you…. As a father…. Were willing to side with a necromancer of all people. Your daughters would have been killed by them. Eaten alive and turned into more undead if my Destiny City was not powerful enough. I expect to see your resources dropped off at my city's main gate within two weeks. If not… Well, you do not want me going to your clan to take the resources. And do not think you can skimp out, either. I will have Tamal check everything."
The dragonic king could only grit his teeth and agree. He hated it, but there was no other choice in the matter. Right now, he could not defeat Destiny City. While he was going to lose what resources he had saved all this time, he still had the method of condensing mana waiting for him. Once his people have grown stronger, he will slowly rebuild his forces and reclaim the most powerful position in the world.
With things taken care of, Blake and the others waited for the dragonic king to leave the area before doing a final clean up of all the undead corpses. The battle, this time, had turned a once lush forest into a wasteland. But this was just how wars were. After a few years, the damaged areas will be covered in overgrowth once more.
"Anything?" Blake asked. He had Lillia and Gemini try to sense where the necromancer ran off to.
"Nope. I can not sense him anywhere. He really covered his track." Lillia frowned as she said this.
"Same here, I can not sense him anywhere on this continent, but then again, I am not sure which magic signatures I should be searching for." Both girls could search the continent for magic signatures but not see or hear anything from whatever locations they find questionable.
"Necromancers are hard because even though they can enslave the dead, they do not have a specific magic signature. When we wiped them out the first time during my era, we had a hard time tracking them all down. We ended up relying on a human who had the ability to peer at places from long distances. It was an innate ability and something we could not replicate easily. We tried, and it failed, but it looks like we will need to try once more." Lillia did not know how to go about it, but they had to do something.
"What if we create a kind of summoning magic like a big eye in the sky or something?" Blake asked. He did not know if such magic existed, but if they could, it would be quite amazing.
"Summoning magic! I have heard of such magic before. But this was way before even my era's time. From what I know, summoning magic was banned in ancient times of my era. It became a forbidden magic." Gemini had only learned about it and did not know how the magic itself worked. She had searched and searched, but any information regarding how to cast summoning magic was never found.
"And after all the resets, I doubt we will find anything of use now." Lillia sighed as she flew over and hung on to Blake's arm. "Blake, my dear, can we have a little fun with you in this form?"
"Oh? Are you trying to cheat on me with me?" Blake asked, giving Lillia a teasing grin.
"Ye… Of course not!" Lillia quickly changed her answer. This Blake was much different than the other Blake. She just couldn't help herself.
"Maybe, but for now, we have more pressing matters. While we can protect Destiny City with a limited amount of people, now this does not mean that the future is all glory for us. More powers may rise up and become even stronger than us. The rise and fall of Destiny City is now in our hands. We must begin teaching all of our citizens what a true evolution is. Ancient Tamal, you as well. You are now one of my people. You will also learn about true evolution and how to grow stronger.
"We must keep growing stronger until we reach the peak of this plane of existence. Because we never know what will happen next." Blake hated to admit it. While he did feel good now to be able to handle the dragonic with ease, he still worried about the future. "Summoning magic hmmm… I wonder if it can be more of an off shot of golem magic…."
While pondering these things, Blake flew off toward Destiny City. He was sure his people were worried about them. Especially after being put on high alert and ready for defensive setups outside the walls.
