Chapter 1606 The Start of the True Dragon and Angelic War
Adrian received the racial quest, but he has yet to get any leads as the other elders also do not know where to start. He was given a year of game time to clear the first chain which means that it will not be easy. Seeing that he cannot go immediately to the place of the quest, he decided to do things that are on his list instead.
Adrian suddenly received a message from Frey as she did say that she needs his help. Adrian does not know the details of the request, but he wanted to help Frey as she helped them in previous missions. He also found the request interesting as they would basically be going to another dimension.
Adrian has a vague sense that the request that Frey wants help with is something that has to do with the Goddess Freyja. Adrian could sense that Frey's divine energy weakened to the point that even the will of the goddess does not descend on her. She was not even able to use it when she participated in the war at the western continent.
"Let us just help her as much as we can." Adrian muttered as he vanished from his place and did not even wait for his guild members.

The sudden weakening of the divine realm barrier also meant that the beings of great power that is stuck in the mortal plane would get stronger as well. This is true for the leader of the angels named Mikhail as his strength soared to the levels of a lesser god. He is not a god or a demigod, but his power levels is equal to that of a lesser god as the restraint on his body is lifted.
Angels are a race that cannot become gods and demigods but can have equivalent power if they have the same threshold. They were intentionally made like this by the Goddess of Light Luminaria as she wants complete control of the race. She only viewed angel as her beautiful servant creations that must cater to her whims.
The angels under her are not aware of this fact though since they have blind devotion towards the Goddess of Light Luminaria. The leading angels have an idea of this, but they are also extremely devoted to the Goddess Luminaria since they have been bestowed blessings. Should they no longer follow the orders of the Goddess of Light Luminaria then she would take back her blessings.
The angelic leaders that have no blessings will weaken and will be at the same level as normal angels. This is how the Goddess of Light Luminaria wields the leash that she has on the angels. The only angel that could resist the Goddess of Light Luminaria is the leader of the angels named Mikhail.
Mikhail is different from the other angels as he is actually created the same way as the Fallen. He was also created using parts of gods of light like his deceased twin. He is obeying the Goddess of Light Luminaria only in name as he believed that a being like him deserves to rule the angels.
Mikhail could be seen bursting with powerful energy as his power level rose to that of a Lesser God. He might not have divinity, but even lesser gods would fear him because he believes that he is the perfect being. His peak strength is still unreleased as the world is not yet regressed fully but he believes that his current strength can deal with the threats.
It was not just Mikhail that became powerful but also the other six angelic leaders. The powerful auras of the seven angels could be felt even if they are outside the tower. Pristina, the previous Pope of the Church of Light, thought that she has gained power levels that are on par with the seven angelic leaders, but she was wrong.
With the world's restriction becoming less, the divine blessing that the Goddess of Light Luminaria has given the seven angels became even more pronounced. The angels who were being careful and adapting to the world that they woke up on is now ready to attack. Mikhail immediately called upon all of the angels back to the Silver City as they must plan out their next moves.
It is not just the angels that became powerful as the Ancient Dragons that were slumbering have begun to wake up. Not all of them woke up as only the ones that were at the power level of lesser gods woke up. About three Ancient Dragons woke up from their hibernating slumber and all the dragons immediately knelt to give praise to their ancestor.
The Ancient Dragons are dragons that have existed since long ago but most of them died off. There are only ten of them at the current time and three of those ten have waken up. Ancient Dragons feed on mana in the atmosphere and it also sustains their bodies to become active.
The reason for the hibernation of the Ancient Dragons is the lack of mana in the atmosphere. They will inevitably die if they were to keep moving in a heavily restricted world. The only way for them to avert this disaster is by hibernating so that the mana consumption for the particles would drop to a vast degree.
They might not have been able to move but they were able to live. They did this knowing that they might sleep for a few thousand years but that is nothing to Ancient Dragons that live to at least a hundred thousand years. The six elemental dragon kings knelt down to the three Ancient Dragons that have taken up.
"We greet the Ancient Dragons, Indrajala, Khah-yil, Namtar. I hope that all of you have rested well." The six elemental dragon kings stated as they bowed.
Seeing the six elemental dragon kings bow to the three ancient dragons, the younger dragons also bowed to them. The three Ancient Dragons told them that such things are not needed in their presence as they are dragons like them. The six elemental dragon kings looked at each other as they knew that the three ancient dragons are just being modest.
The ancient dragons are not like the elemental dragons as their scales are silver or platinum in color. They also harness a strange force called the Arcana Force which is only possible if one becomes an ancient dragon. They are beings that once were elemental dragons but have transcended the racial barrier of what a dragon can be.
"I sense great worry from the emotions of the young ones. What has happened while we were asleep?" Indrajala stated as her voice is like that of a gentle mother.
When the ancient dragons asked what was happening, the six elemental dragon kings explained the situation. They were now in an irreversible fight against the angels because they have insulted their mother goddess. Hearing the insults hurled at the Mother Goddess Tiamat made all three of the ancient dragons release bloodlust.
The Dragon Fear that all of them released made some of the weaker dragons faint from the pressure. The angels are now marked as the enemies of the dragons and that they must be destroyed completely. It seems that the world has forgotten how fierce and unforgiving a dragon's wrath really is.
"We have only been asleep for a few hundred years and our racial standing has already declined to such a degree. No wonder those winged birds dare to fight against us as they believe that they are superior to us." Khah-yil stated as his voice is similar to a grumpy old man.
"You should calm yourself first, Khah-yil. We have yet to fully be able to handle our bodies as we have just woken up. But I am with you in decimating the angels that dare to insult the Mother Goddess." Namtar stated.
"Both of you should reel in your Dragon Fear as the young ones have fainted. Anyways, the most important thing is that we must meet the Mother of Dragons. Where is she?" Indrajala asked.
"She is currently at the nursery as she is tending to the eggs that are having difficulty to hatch." The Light Dragon King Lumen Isens stated.
The three Ancient Dragons then turned into humanoid forms as they were told that the Mother of Dragons takes a humanoid form. She has yet to master her draconic transformation as she was just recently born of the world. The elemental dragon kings also informed them that she has guests over as well.
"The Nephilim?!" The three ancient dragons stated in shock as they knew what a Nephilim was.
"It is no wonder why the angels are becoming erratic as a Nephilim has been born. I guess even the demons that are in Hell are wanting to come over to the mortal realm. The blood of a Nephilim does increase their own inherent abilities after all." Namtar stated as she now knows why the angels have become even more aggressive.
