Chapter 207 - EVEN IF IT SEEMS LIKE THE END I
POLAND
KRAKOW
The thunder strikes a tree and it burns before it turns instantly into dust. The raging wind blows and the ashes was carried into the storms.
And the skies bring down rain.
BOOOM!!
The thunder shakes the skies and parted the clouds. The rain falls down faster.
It falls with great intensity, falling and mixing with the soil creating a muddy path on the forest, increasing the cold in the area and flow into the river.
The hunter and mercenaries on the hilly area of the forest shelter themselves under tall trees or behind boulders.
The leader of the expedition frowned and his forehead was sweating with cold sweat. He felt something is wrong about this weather…but he dares not say it openly lest he fears his squad member overcome with fear.
He activated his Nine Openings opening the energy inside his body to overcome the pressure.
His expedition member this time consist of his own squad members and hired hunters and mercenaries trembles in fear.
Was it the rain they fear?
No.
It is the thunder.
Thunderous lightning resonated on the sky and lightning criss crossed the clouds creating the illusion that the clouds are fighting against each other.
These hunters and mercenaries in this forest they called the Forest of Twirling Path knows that these kind of phenomena is not normal.
When they set in the evening to catch the Giant Serpent that terrorizes a small village nearby the weather was clear, and there is no indication whatsoever that tonight they would be beset by storm.
Yes, a storm.
A storm of thunderous lightning and tempestuous wind.
But the reason why they were so sure that these weather is not a natural occurrence is because of what they are seeing and feeling right now.
The thunder hold certain power that their Orbs is shaking and rotating as fast as they can to expel the pressure of this thunder.
Some even believes this thunder is the Tribulation Thunder. The wind on the other hand swept even the body of their most expert warrior in the Energy Disperse Stage.
The felt like their skin is slowly being shredded each time they tries to overcome these winds.
It was only after their expedition leader ordered to shelter themselves that they hides beneath trees, and behind boulders with anxious heart and solemn expression.
Then suddenly like a dream, the thunder stopped, the lightning disappeared and the winds dissipated.
With a gust of pleasant wind, the world was calm again.
The hunter and mercenaries look at each other with puzzlement. The leader on the other hand look at the night skies and only see the clear starry skies.
The leader of this expedition is a rugged man. His body is big with broad shoulders and he look fat but that is just the fur clothing.
His body is full of muscle. He has thick beard and a neatly trimmed moustache.
They are the League of Freedom expedition diplomatic team to Poland. Leading them is a man named Hamad.
The man sighed as many things happens that delay their expedition. The world was not as safe as before anyway.
The Weronian War has ended but the monsters are starting to awaken all over the world. And Hamad could also sense that the cold war between the World Government and the Republic will erupt.
It's the reason why he is dispatched here. Poland is ruled by King Artur Nowak, a King crowned by President Hirate.
By now, Hirate no longer look like a President but like an Emperor. Some people called him the Supreme Ruler of the World Government behind his back
And his task?
To persuade the revolutionaries here inside Poland to rebel.
Under the leadership of King Artur Nowak, the people suffers as his band of nobles uses their support from the WG to hoard items, and oppress people.
Poland, unfortunately did not have any notable expert other than Rafał Kowalski who was executed after fighting a three days battle with the soldiers of Artur when he tries to defend a village from the Royal Authority.
Many of the women there were forced to comfort the visiting soldiers of King Artur after finishing their skirmishes with the Republic forces.
It was when the Republic was still called the Revolutionary Army. Chancellor Jean order to bring Poland back under the fold of the Revolutionary Army.
But at the time Jean was not viewed favorably in Europe.
Considering he did conquer Europe and the stories of massacre under his Generals, one could understand the lack of enthusiasm to be under him again.
Even though the Revolutionary Army was not entirely under Jean he is one of the highest leader in the organization.
Artur with the help of the soldiers that World Government supplied managed to repel the invasion.
It was then on their journey back to the Capital they rest in a village where the soldiers unleashed their bestial instinct and Rafał who was there at the scene executed a battalion of soldiers with his Seed Formation attainment.
It got so bad that Rafał wanted to attack the Capital. It was then Artur activated the Summon of Wind and Fire
The Kings of the World Government could call the Summon of Wind and Fire. It is a privilege of all Kings under the World Government.
With it comes the Golden Warriors of World Government and caught Rafał. The King tortured Rafał after Rafał cultivation was crippled.
He was then quartered and his head was stuck on a pike for ten days on the gate of the palace as a lesson not to defy the Nobles of the World Government.
And now, he comes here to convince that the rule under the Republic is better than being under the King of the World Government.
He sighed deeply
The man beside him give him a pat as he ask a question
'What do you think that is?' That man was looking at the skies with trepidation. Hamad shakes his head urging the man beside him not to talk about it right now.
The man nodded.
Then the man ordered
'Quickly move and resume our pace of travel. We must travel incognito without revealing ourselves too much' the other nodded and resumes their march.
The hunters and mercenaries they brought with them only nodded.
As they walk the man slowly break off from the group and walk beside Hamad.
'What was that?' Looking left and right and sweeping the area with his divine sense, Hamad said
'Hatta, that was an expert probably trying to breakthrough.'
'His attainment?' Hatta asked his voice is barely a whisper now.
Hamad answer
'Disk Formation, probably.' Hatta nodded and said to Hamad
'We must be careful not to offend anyone we met here in this forest. And we must be vigilant. An expert of that level if they want to kill us, it would be as easy as breathing.'
Hatta nodded as they continue their walk in silence. On the distance they saw a mountain high reaching the clouds, its peak could not be seen.
There is a great story behind the creation of this mountain. This mountain used to a hill.
Beside the hill there used to be a river. But a Sorcerer from Middle East was schemed upon when he first arrived here in Poland.
In his anger, he gather the emotions and thoughts of people and transform the Hill into a Mountain then disappeared.
His resentment and hatred was condensed into this mountain.
The Hill is Krakow Hill. So, now the Mountain is called the Krakow Mountain.
On top of the mountain were dense clouds and harsh winds. Slumbering on top of the peak of that mountain, hidden by the clouds, is a dragon.
The mythologies of the Krakow Dragon is well known in Poland. By gathering the thoughts and emotions of the people in Krakow, the Sorcerer turns myths into reality.
The Dragon was the Krakow Dragon. Only this Dragon is ten times bigger and even more dangerous.
That Sorcerer used Thought Magic. But the Dragon is slumbering.
And it is sleeping.
Because under the energy of the World Orb, the Weronian War forces the monster all over the world to slumber. But now, the Weronian War has ended.
One only knows, when this sleeping Dragon will be awakened from his slumber. Beside the dragon is a stone.
The clouds keeps moving and the winds keep blowing and the Dragon is sleeping.
...For now
