Chapter 1191 – 1191. Problems With Dragons


    There were not many words to be said for the remainder of the night. The battle that had been won by the three was more than enough to deter many of the monsters around. Anything that even tried to get close would smell the mes and the dragon scent making them turn around in fear.


    What dwelled on everyone''s minds was the fact that the rogue dragons werepletely avoidable. It was still certain that a very very VERY small number of dragons may leave by themselves. It was obviously the case with the skeletal dragons and some darkness dragons. That was how Midnight had managed toe to be born. However, to be forced out as a hatchling and lose their minds to degrade in to a monster was worse. The dragons had gone too far in Walker and Su''s opinion.


    Midnight was even more affected by this. She could only think that she could have ended up that way if she had not been found by Walker and the party. There was a chance that those who had hunted her mother would not have found her and she would be left to be some insane monster without reason. The single possibility made her shiver. But it also made her blood boil.


    Through her growth and training, she had seen many people ept that didn''t seem to fit in to normal society. She had seen unique systems and those who had been abused. She had seen people rise up beyond their expectations and challenge ideals of their entire race. How could the dragons be so unepting? At the very least, she would make Genesis a ce where all the dragons cast out from the other viges coulde to make themselves at home. Who cared for purity when they could be happy and safe?


    Since Walker was the closest with Midnight, he could feel her turbulent emotions and knew why she was feeling the way she was. It was the same for him and he wanted to make sure that she rested well enough to show the other dragons what genesis was about. "Just go to sleep early. You don''t need to stay on watch tonight. I will handle it and n out how I will speak tomorrow. We will make a change." This seemed to be all Midnight needed to finally give in to her exhaustion after the battle. Her mind had been through a lot.


    When the sun broke the sky the tree cleaned up. Walker had stored the body of the rogue dragon in his storage but felt that it would be a rough material to use in anything. Since it had degraded, the scales were not the same as shed dragon scales. They were not tough enough for armor that could even rival what they already had. In the end, he felt that he would have to bring it to the guild and just let them use it for younger adventurers. But he also had the mind to make sure he respected the future the rogue dragon could have had by using every single part as well as it could be used. It would be an insult to any creature not to do so.


    "We should be just a little ways down from the royal dragon court. I can see the next statues there. If it was brighterst night we might have seen them then." The moon had not been too bright in the skyst night making it harder for them to see. Since they had traveled in a dangerous area, Walker had not used the light orb until the rogue dragon had attacked and released it right after the battle hadpleted.


    "Midnight, your scales look perfect and your wings are spotless. Stop looking around again and again." Su had made sure that they were all three ready for the walk up. She had caught Midnight obsessing over her scales for the fifth time and was ready to give her a scolding.


    "Don''t huff at her like that. She''s right. Your scales are shined to perfection. There''s not a single smudge on them. Do you really doubt my skills so much?" This seemed to do the trick and Midnight was focused back up again. She gave Walker a once over then Su as well. With a final head nod, from here they were ready to move up.


    The three statues that they found ahead of them were a light elemental dragon, darkness elemental dragon, and finally a dragon that appeared to be a fire dragon. But thest pedestal after those three was empty. Behind it was a steep rock face. "Is this the most recent? Is there no dragon to take the ce of this statue yet?" Su could only assume that this was the case for the statue. They had reached the most recent statue for the dragon race. They had not seen many because of the long lived species that dragons were.


    "Hm, are we meant to fly up this rock face or climb it?" Su wasn''t sure if she was up for climbing the rocks up to the top. It wasn''t that she didn''t think herself strong enough, it was the simple fact that he was not someone with the skills to climb rocks in such a way. Hiking the mountains was no issue, but climbing was another matter.


    "No, we can just head up my way. Midnight, get close." Walker manipted the earth below them and caused it to push them upwards on a pir. He knew it was a decent amount of mana for a simple reward but it was to show off his control of elemental mana. It would look impressive and he would be able to walk on to the court with his head up. However, the teau that he found was much different.
