Chapter 309 [309] Terra Damnum.


    The Demon guednd.


    Once and known for its breathtakingndscapes and vibrant biodiversity, Australia now stands as a haunting testament to the destructive power of chaos and demonic energy. In this twisted reality, thend that was once filled with life now teems with the unholy presence of demons, their malevolence permeating every inch of the desecrated territory.


    The new Australia rechristened Terra Damnum, is an eerie and foreboding manifestation of both physical and metaphysical perdition. The once golden sandy beaches now lie obscured beneath a thick, sickly ck mist, infused with swirling demonic energy. The waves that oncepped calmly upon the shores have been possessed, crashing ceaselessly with an otherworldly fury that echoes the demons'' wrath.


    The skies, once a canvas of vivid blues and wispy clouds, have surrendered to the taint of chaos. An ominous crimson hue nkets the heavens, casting an unsettling glow upon the destendscape below. Ashen remnants of what were once magnificent cities nowy in ruin, their crumbling structures a stark testament to the insidious power of the demons that infest thend.


    Terra Damnum''s flora, once diverse and abundant, has been twisted into grotesque and hostile forms. Trees bear gnarled, twisted limbs covered in poisonous thorns. Once colorful flowers and delicate orchids have transformed into venomous, carnivorous predators that ensnare unsuspecting creatures. Even the once arid deserts now teem with sentient sand dunes, shifting ominously and engulfing anything that dares to cross their path.


    Life, as it once flourished, is now scarce and tainted. The Demonic energy changed even th peaceful life here. The native wildlife has been warped by the demonic influence, mutating into grotesque aberrations that roam the forbiddingndscape. Kangaroos stand as hulking monstrosities with razor-sharp ws, their blood-red eyes fixated on their prey. Emus now tower over thend, donning sharp beaks and elongated serrated feathers. Even the humble typus has transformed into a venomous creature, its spurs now dripping with demonic envenomation. Every animal that once lived here peacefully was now an abhorrent abomination.


    The air itself carries a palpable malevolence. Whispers of forgotten incantations strung together by the cacophony of dementedughter and anguished screams reverberate through the barrennd. Dark portals, formed by the convergence of demonic energies, sporadically appear, allowing friends from theherworld to stride forth, perpetuating the cycle of chaos and suffering.


    The Demonic Continent, also known as Terra Damnum(Demon guednd)...was once such a beautiful continent.


    But now...None of that beauty remained. All of it was reced by twisted evil.

    "Do you see it?"


    Oliver asked n as they flew over the skies of the Demonic Continent.


    "...yes."


    Muttered n in response. The Chaos energy here was thick, very thick.


    "This is why we are fighting so hard. Keep this in mind, n.


    Never trust a demon, no matter what."


    The only thing done by doing such a thing was death, or a fate even worse than that.


    Wasn''t the beast alliance the perfect example?


    Adam White was once such a pious man, But he had been manipted by a demon. And what happened to him next was something n knew well.


    Aranus as well...had suffered. Aranus.


    "Yes, Headmaster."


    He dered firmly, keeping his experiences with people who had fallen to a demon''s charm dear.


    He would not forget them.


    "Good."


    [The artifacts that have been given to you will prevent such a thing...But nothing is certain Young dragon.]


    Argenti''s words caught n''s attention.


    [It will all be up to you. You are the one that must control your own self.]


    n paid close attention to Argenti''s words.


    He used his Dragon eyes to check the item description once again.

    n marveled at the item description. He had not checked the item Descriptions since he got them. His mind had just been too upied...But then he noticed something.


    His headaches and other things were gone. His mind felt...calm?


    Yes, it had been calmtely. His fear of that darkness was gone and he was happy.


    He didnt notice it at first but the Bracelet''s effects were working.


    "Look there, n."


    Oliver pointed to a mountain where n could see a muscr figure with white hair and yellow eyes standing.


    "Master..."


    n could see the figure waving to them as they got closer. n could also see Alex and Olivia...and also a puppy?


    What?


    What was that puppy doing there?


    ''...I guess I''ll ask when wend.''


    *******


    [Something ising.]


    Festul said to Alex. Alex wasying down on the ground and got up after hearing Festul.


    His aura was different. It waspletely different from the yful boy he was...Now it was wild.


    It was like the boy was gone and a wild beast had reced him.


    "Yeah, Master said n ising. He''s my friend who is also a student of the Sword Saint."


    [Your friend is not Human.]


    "What?"


    [A dragon ising, a young one but still a dragon nheless.]


    "What are you talking about?"


    [You will see when hees.]


    Alex gazed at the three figures that were approaching them...and his eyes widened.


    The three figuresnded on the mountain and Alex saw Headmaster Oliver, His spirit Owl.


    And a fucking Lizardmen with wings?


    [Draconian form.]


    "Oh..."


    Festul informed Alex. Bow he was aware of what he was seeing.


    "Thats n?"


    He asked... Questioning himself.


    But his question''s were soon answered when The Draconian transformed into his friend, n Pator.


    ''That''s n.''


    He thought, after staying in this continent. He just prepared himself for any weird thing he saw...He had seen many weird things here...


    While Alex was epting what he was seeing, Festul activated his powers and thought in his mind.


    [Now...let''s see what kind of dragon he is.]


    He thought, his eyes glowing gold.
