Chapter 145 Life of a Blue Dragon Part 2
'No! No! I can't die here. If I wanted to die, I really wanted to die, I would've suicide. 175 loses. Every time I was left with loss and contempt, I strengthen my heart to practice.'
'I must survive. Even if takes hundreds of years, I will get stronger. I must live.'
The young blue dragon suddenly lifted his rear leg and kicked the claw of his elder brother. Long Chen managed to push his claw away but he didn't stick there.
Even though he was bleeding from behind, he just kept running.
"Don't think of escaping from me!" Long Tu clenched his teeth and flapped his wings. Unlike Long Chen who still couldn't fly, he was able to shorten the distance in a few seconds.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a black dragon rushed in front of Long Tu. When that dragon appeared, Long Tu stopped. He looked at the dragon and said "Did father send you?"
The black dragon didn't answer. He simply blocked Long Tu from continuing. Long Chen also noticed it but didn't stop even for a moment.
"It doesn't matter. I will complete my mother's task." Long Tu's eyes glowed with killing intent. He condensed powerful energy in his claw and flapped his wing.
Bang!
The black dragon also used his energy and infuse it with his claw. He slashed against Long Tu and their claws collided. The powerful impact blew away the trees in the surrounding.
Suddenly, Long Tu managed to push the black dragon away.
"Did you really think I can't compete with older generations? Mother's task must be completed." Long Tu released a powerful aura that covered his body. The next moment, his body suddenly appeared behind the black dragon.
Splash! Thud!
A big slash appeared on the black dragon's scale and blood gushed out. He laid down on his blood and Long Tu chased after Long Chen. In less than a few seconds, he was already getting closer to Long Chen.
When he saw Long Chen running toward the cliff, he didn't know what Long Chen was trying to do. Behind that cliff was the land of Curse. Once someone enters that land, he can never get out.
Long Chen knew this very well but when he previously felt that aura, he instantly made up his mind to jump into this cliff. Dying like that would be better than dying at the hands of his brother.
Upon reaching the end of the cliff, Long Chen closed his eyes and chose to fall down.
Behind him, Long Tu stopped and looked at the bottom of the cliff. It was covered with mist so he couldn't see clearly but he knew his task was complete.
"If this is your choice of death, then so be it." Long Tu muttered and turned around. When he turned around, he extended his claws.
Splash!
The next moment, he pierced his chest. The blood fell from his body and tears fell down his eyes.
'Brother, I hope in the next life, you will be born into a normal family.'
Long Tu left without even looking back once. The blood was still gushing out of his body. After nearly ten minutes, the black dragon reached there. The wound in its chest was already closed.
Looking at the blood on the ground, the black dragon muttered.
"It seems like his majesty was correct. Queen truly intended to take the throne. She even managed to create a brutal pawn."
The black dragon touched his chest and suddenly remembered. When Long Tu pierced his chest, he could've gone deeper but he only made a scratch and instead used something else to make him go unconscious.
The black dragon slowly raised his head toward the cliff and muttered.
"Was it good to have talent? Your brother became an emotionless pawn to your mother. If you had talent, you would've been the same. But, dying like this... Haaa! You truly had a cruel fate."
"I have been watching over you for years and I know just how hard you work but unfortunately, in this world if you don't have talent, you can't achieve anything."
"Even if you were born in as a dragon, the race born with immense talent, you didn't have much. You believed with hard work, you can replace the talent. But, the truth is cruel."
"No matter how hard you train, you can't get stronger than those with talent. Hundreds of years will pass, and you will get old but you won't ever be able to surpass those with talents."
At this moment, tears emerged from his eyes.
"Although I have been with you for years, I never get to introduce myself. I am your eldest brother, a son of a dragon king with average talent. I have always watched over you and every day, you inspire me to get stronger."
"But, I'm sorry, younger brother. It is impossible. No matter how hard I work, I will never be able to surpass others. Even Brother Tu is already stronger than me despite being fifty years younger than me."
"This is the fate of talentless people like us. Goodbye, brother!"
The black dragon wiped away his tears and flapped his wings. His eyes turned red and a strong expression appeared on his face.
"I must inform father as soon as possible. We can't let her continue. She will do everything to get that throne and we can't let her."
......…..
Under the cliff,
It was deep. If someone falls this deep, it would be certain death. But the moment before the blue dragon hit the ground, his wings flapped. The powerful wind blew beneath him and his speed went to zero.
But, it was only a single flap. That single flap made him bleed from his wings. And, after that, he fell with a light impact.
Splash!
His body fell on the water. Long Chen slowly fell deeper into that pond. He was drowning but it was more like someone was pulling him.
'Give up, little boy. You can't win without talent. You have no talent and even if you can cultivate just because you are a dragon, you won't surpass your brothers.'
'You will remain as trash. Give up right now and enter reincarnation. Maybe you will get reincarnated into a talented child. You might be able to get stronger.'
'You might even become a king. You will get your own women. You will get riches and resources. You will become the strongest. Come to me, come into the reincarnation.'
'This world doesn't deserve you, boy. You need to go somewhere else. You will be able to live your life like a king. Everyone will bow in front of you. You will become the strongest, boy, come with me!'
'Your heart is strong, boy. If I give you the talent and resources, you will definitely get stronger. Now, follow me, boy. There is nothing here left to live for. There is no one for you to protect.'
When the last words rang in Long Chen's head, a series of images flashed in his eyes.
He was in the garden with his father. The small blue dragon was sitting on top of the golden dragon. They were playing around and there was a blue big smile on the small blue dragon's face.
"Chen'er, what do you want to do after you grow up?" The golden dragon asked while playing with his son.
The small blue dragon excitedly raised his claws and answered.
"Daddy, daddy, I want to protect you and this kingdom. I will become the protector and keep this kingdom safe."
Hearing his son's words, the golden dragon's eyes widened. Soon, he burst into laughter as he said.
"That's my son. Yes, you must protect this kingdom. Your great, great, great, great grandfather created this kingdom and his children kept protecting it. As the royal family of this kingdom, your responsibility is to protect this kingdom."
"I am surprised that my son actually realize this without even knowing anything. Chen'er, I am very proud of you." The golden dragon proudly put his son down and nodded.
"Yes, daddy. I won't let anyone down. I will protect this kingdom and more importantly, I will protect you." The small blue dragon excitedly nodded his head and proudly patted his chest as he replied.
"Hahaha! That's my boy." The golden dragon laughed as he slowly stretched out his claw and extended his finger.
The blue dragon looked at his father with confusion as his father replied.
"Remember, we mustn't go back in our words. Dragon Words are Eternal."
Roar!
Suddenly, Long Chen roared inside the pond and his eyes opened. He instantly came out of that dream but he still found himself drowning. At this moment, his mind was saying only one thing.
'Fly! You are a dragon. FLY LIKE A DRAGON! SOAR INTO THE HEAVENS!'
Suddenly, one of his wings burst into flames and he flapped.
Whoosh!
His body soared toward the sky. The black clouds covered the sky and the lightning flashed everywhere. The young blue dragon looked at the sky and shouted.
"You never gave me the talent. But, I won't back down. My Will is the strongest. If heaven doesn't give me what I want, then."
The young dragon opened his mouth as the bolt of lightning strike down at him.
"I WILL DEVOUR THE HEAVEN."
