Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 481 The Differences of the World

"Don't be too surprised. I have improved after the battle in the Sacred Forest and have only just reached my current level." Lucia seemed to see through his thoughts and comforted him kindly, "You should understand the Emperor's plan better than most people. These forces are far from enough to meet the expectations placed on me by the plan makers. There is nothing to be surprised about."

"If your majesty's goal is to kill gods, this kind of power is indeed a little short of what you need—" Bolerius barely recovered from his near-exhaustion state just now, panting as he spoke, "But the creators of the Emperor's plan never imagined that they could develop a weapon that could kill gods in more than three years."

"What His Majesty Platonsanks and His Majesty Heraris hoped for was to train a new generation of kings capable of protecting this world. If not for the many unexpected changes that happened later, they would have given His Majesty more than a hundred years to grow up."

"But at that time, no one expected that I, as the original creator of the plan, would be such a jerk. And after me, my younger brother, who was the best of the twenty original flying dragons and should have grown up quickly to protect Sky City from wind and rain, became the most despicable rebel and the most terrible disaster in the history of the dragon race."

Lucia's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't ask too much immediately. Instead, she sat down next to Borelius and said, "Are you talking about the time you left Sky City and went to the Arctic Ice Field, and the rebellious beast named 'Beile'?"

Borelius had already regained his human form, and a wry smile appeared on his old face. He nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that Your Majesty has learned a lot from your mother during your previous trip to the Dragon Tomb."

"As the original creation of the plan, although I was not as good as the ancient dragon in mastering the five elements of prayer at the same time, I was a leader in the frost field. When I was young, I rarely encountered rivals in the Sky City, and I also defeated many difficult and powerful heretics for the dynasty."

"At that time, elders older than me revered me as a hero, and brothers and sisters younger than me regarded me as a leader. I thought I was omnipotent, so much so that after learning about the Emperor's plans for the future, I became indignant and went to court several times to vent my dissatisfaction."

"What I am dissatisfied with is not that Your Majesty can get all the training in this plan, even if you are just a Supreme Egg that has not yet hatched. But as the only bloodline of the Dragon King and the Dragon God, the natural king of all kings, no one will question your qualification to inherit all the power in this world."

"I just feel that I haven't been trusted enough. I am already so strong, strong enough to kill all enemies for my country and my people. Why do the two majesties still not trust me enough and are unwilling to tell me who the powerful enemy in the future is? Instead, they place their hopes of victory on my unborn brother and young master."

Lucia sighed, "So you left Fam Azra and wanted to go out and build a career on your own?"

"It sounds ridiculous now, but I really thought so at that time," Borelius' smile became more bitter. "That was 1,500 years ago. The alliance between Sky City and Eternal City was extremely solid. The dynasty was high in the sky and overlooked the world. Looking at the whole world, no force dared to confront us head-on."

"I wanted to prove myself, so I could only find the ancient giant king's court, the only one that could still rule a region and stand on equal footing with Sky City and Eternal City. At that time, their original king, Hetenirus, had already turned into fire, and the generations of giant kings who succeeded him were not very promising. Only a little girl named Hellengard was quite talented, and it was said that she would take over the position of high priest soon."

"At that time, I asked myself that even in Sky City, there were only a handful of beings who could defeat me. Wouldn't it be easy to suppress a fallen giant king's court? So I flew over the Storm Sea overnight and fought my way to the top of Giant Mountain." "Sure enough, most giants were no match for me. Even those giant heroes who became famous hundreds of years ago and mastered the Ashes of Annihilation could only turn into ice sculptures in the face of my freezing ice fog. At that time, I was extremely proud. After killing more than ten giant heroes, I didn't kill all the remaining giants. I just drove them off the top of Giant Mountain and settled down on Starfall Peak."

"I didn't expect that not long after, the little girl named Hellengard returned from her trip outside the sea of ​​fog. She held a knife and climbed to the top of the mountain alone to challenge me. I saw that she was only in her teens, so I joked that she should go back and practice for another hundred years before coming back to avoid wasting her life. But she stubbornly refused to agree and resolutely drew her knife to challenge me."

"I lost that battle, and I lost miserably."

"Although Hrengard was also seriously injured, I was more seriously injured and had no power to deal with the giants who came back to pursue me. I had to fight and retreat all the way until I escaped into the frozen lake and relied on the terrain to gain a foothold. Your Majesty probably heard about what happened afterwards from Gustav. I wanted to fight back and fight the giants to the death after I recovered from my injuries, but I happened to run into the Samir people who were fleeing here."

"It's funny to say that the ones who destroyed their homeland were exactly the same group of giant nobles that I drove down from the top of the mountain. I saw that the power cultivated by those little guys was naturally the same as mine, so I couldn't help but feel close to them. Since we both had a common enemy, I blocked a wave of pursuers for them. Who knew that they would stick with me like this, and they have been sticking with me for 1,500 years."

"What happened next?" Lucia asked curiously, "Why have you never considered going back?"

"At first I was too embarrassed to go back," Boileus' old face was full of shame, "I thought I was invincible, I ran out with my nose in the air, all I could think of was wiping out the Giant King's Court and taking the 30,000-mile territory of the North to throw in the faces of the elders, maybe even get the two majesties to praise me for being a good braggart, but in the end I was beaten like this, I thought I would be unworthy of being a dragon if I didn't take revenge, how could I have the face to go home?"

"The concept of time is too weak for immortals like us. I spent ten years recuperating in the frozen lake and another 150 years practicing hard. During this time, several brothers and sisters came to visit me from Fam Yazra and brought the news of the birth of my younger brother, Beile. They said that Beile was a genius who surpassed all the dragons except the two majesties. In just a dozen years, he grew to a height far superior to the elders and could almost be on par with the ten elders. After hearing this, I secretly made up my mind that I would never return to the court and must prove to the two majesties and all the tribesmen that I am the most powerful among the original flying dragons."

"Over the years, Hellengard has become the new high priest of the royal court, and the cooperation between Sky City and Eternal City in the field of magic has also reached an unprecedented level. I am still as foolish as before, believing that I am the protagonist of the world. On the one hand, I regard myself as the patron saint of the Samir people, and on the other hand, I am accumulating strength to counterattack the top of the giant mountain. Until the magic called 'Eternal Darkness' was born, the evil god descended from the sky with the power of annihilation, and the glorious and prosperous Star-Moon Era completely collapsed. Only then did I suddenly realize how stupid and insignificant I was."

"In the wailing of the collapse of the times, the personal power that once dominated the world has become insignificant, let alone a weak person like me who was far from reaching the top of the world in the old times."

"No, calling me a weakling is just flattering myself." Borelius sneered, "In that forbidden battle, I was probably just an ant."
