Rebirth as a Time Dragon: A DND Chronicle

Snow Authority: Blizzard!

Wind Authority: Howling Winds!

In an instant, countless dense, fluttering snowflakes and razor-sharp gales descended from the sky, transforming into a ferocious blizzard that blanketed the entire Frozen Wasteland layer of the Abyss, sparing only a few extremely remote areas.

"I've got you!"

Bathed in the blizzard, the Frost Giant God suddenly turned, looking towards a seemingly empty spot.

With a wave of his hand, the swirling wind and snow transformed into shackles of wind and chains of snow, precisely ensnaring Garon, making it impossible to escape due to their sheer density.

"Sigh, compared to an old intermediate deity, I'm still far behind."

Bound tightly by the twin restraints of wind and snow, Garon shook his head, barely able to move.

"The great battle is near. Let me, Solium, first eliminate an enemy of the Giant Pantheon!"

Taking the risk to enter the Frozen Wasteland, Solium aimed to kill a Dragon God. The other Dragon Gods stayed in their divine kingdoms, leaving Garon, who occupied Koschei's territory, as Solium's target.

Auril's persuasion only solidified Solium's decision; it wasn't the sole reason for his presence here.

Facing the bound Garon, the Frost Giant God raised his colossal Winter Axe, roaring as he infused his extraordinary divine power into it, making the blade's chilling glow almost tangible.

Even before he truly struck, the ground below cracked open under an invisible force, creating a meandering chasm stretching thousands of miles.

This seemed capable of cleaving the abyssal layer in one strike.

Garon sensed the overwhelming power.

If struck, his divine body would likely be cleaved in two, resulting in instant death.

However, despite this level of threat, Garon remained calm.

"Die!"

Staring at Garon, the Frost Giant God was about to bring down his colossal axe.

But at that moment, he noticed the unusual calm on Garon's dragon face and the mocking look in his eyes, causing a wave of unease to surge within him.

Something was wrong.

He sensed a lurking danger.

Just then.

Swoosh!

A giant sword suddenly appeared, stabbing into the Frost Giant God's chest from behind, piercing through his divine body. The sword's blade, stained with divine blood, emerged from his chest.

It seemed to be a sword made of thick liquid, with toxic bubbles constantly popping on its surface. Occasionally, a drop fell to the ground, instantly melting the snow and earth, turning it into an acidic swamp.

"The Acid Burst Demon Sword... Lord of Darkness..."

Feeling the continuous pain and weakness, Solium spoke with difficulty.

The Acid Burst Demon Sword, a weapon frequently used by the Lord of Darkness, forged from the abyssal acids and poisons mixed with abyssal power, had a strong corrosive effect on divine bodies.

Recognizing the weapon, Solium identified the Lord of Darkness.

Next, amidst the howling blizzard, the Frost Giant God roared, gathering his remaining strength. The Winter Axe, filled with extraordinary divine power, whirled around and slashed fiercely behind him.

Whoosh!

A cloud of black mist rose and dispersed, revealing the form of the Lord of Darkness, who had been hiding.

Tall and stately, wearing imperial garb, with dusky skin and glowing green eyes, and an overly handsome face, the Lord of Darkness resembled a charming human, holding the Acid Burst Demon Sword that pierced the Frost Giant God's chest.

Facing the Frost Giant God's counterattack, the Lord of Darkness smiled slightly, revealing a pair of vampiric fangs.

Releasing the Acid Burst Demon Sword, the Lord of Darkness gracefully and confidently evaded the slash of the Winter Axe.

Boom!

The axe blade shattered the space behind, splitting distant mountains and the earth merely from the aftershock.

After distancing himself from the Frost Giant God, the Lord of Darkness extended his hand, aiming at the Frost Giant God from afar, and lightly squeezed.

"Explode."

He said softly.

The Acid Burst Demon Sword lodged in the Frost Giant God's chest stopped pulsating and then exploded violently.

Boom!

In the muffled sound, eerie green patterns spread from the chest wound, crawling across the Frost Giant God's divine body like a web or blood vessels, glowing with a sinister green light.

Acid and poison permeated the divine body, corroding the Frost Giant God's body and divine power.

Weakly kneeling, his aura rapidly weakened, mirroring the blizzard over the Frozen Wasteland.

Clang!

The dragon exerted force, breaking the wind and snow chains binding it, and looked at the Frost Giant God.

The Lord of Darkness was inherently stronger than the Frost Giant God. Despite his strength, he chose to ambush for a sure kill, rendering the Frost Giant God powerless with one strike.

"Lord of Darkness, you... you actually intervened in the conflict between the Dragon and Giant Pantheons."

"Even though I die today, remember, one day you will pay the price!"

The Frost Giant God couldn't believe that at this critical moment, a demon lord had ambushed him on behalf of the Dragon Pantheon.

In reality, the Immortal Dragon Queen had sought out several demon lords, but only the Lord of Darkness agreed. With the Abyssal War intensifying, he took the risk of offending the Giant Pantheon to gain the Dragon Pantheon's promised support.

"Sure, I'll remember."

The Lord of Darkness smiled faintly.

Meanwhile, the Frost Giant God's divine body was severely corroded from within, barely recognizable.

A direct hit from the Acid Burst Demon Sword was unbearable even for a high god, let alone an intermediate one.

The Frost Giant God, now a mass of blurred, rotten flesh, glared at Garon, unwillingly asking, "You knew I was coming, so you set a trap. How? Why did you know I would come?"

Garon's gaze was indifferent as he calmly replied, "Not telling you."

Although Garon didn't answer, the Frost Giant God seemed to realize something. His previously hard tone became sorrowful, whispering, "It was... Auril, wasn't it?"

In fact, with a god's wisdom, it wasn't hard to deduce Auril's betrayal if he chose to think in that direction.

The Frozen Wasteland was identical to Solium's divine kingdom, and he couldn't understand why Auril was so fixated on it. Most crucially, only Auril knew about his plan.

To avoid the Storm Lord's interference, the Frost Giant God had told no other gods in his pantheon.

Garon remained silent, but the Frost Giant God knew the answer from his pitiful gaze.

Struggling mightily, his face formed from the rotting flesh, and he roared to the sky.

"Auril, my most cherished lover!"

"I was willing to share everything I had with you, but why, why did you betray me!"

The roar initially pierced the heavens, but as Solium's divine body corroded, it became feeble, barely audible.

This was Auril's second betrayal of Solium.

Because of this, Solium found it harder to accept.

He had tolerated Auril's first betrayal, believing his magnanimity would win her heart. Unexpectedly, she betrayed him again, this time to his mortal enemy, the Dragon Pantheon.

"Because, she's inherently a bad goddess."

"Solium, what did you ever see in Auril? I don't understand."

Gazing at the lifeless remains, Garon shook his head, saying.

He pulled out the Golden Scale Holy Sword and stabbed at the Frost Giant God's godhood. However, the godhood only cracked but didn't shatter, and it flashed before disappearing.

"Pity, neither of us is skilled in sealing. We could only kill the Frost Giant God."

Sealing was more challenging than killing.

Garon and the Lord of Darkness lacked strong sealing abilities, so they opted to kill the Frost Giant God.

"However, reviving in full state won't be easy for him."

"If he does revive, he might need to kill Auril. I doubt he can forgive her again."

Garon thought silently.

At this moment, the Lord of Darkness smiled at Garon and said, "I've completed my task. Next, your Dragon Pantheon must fulfill its obligation."

Garon nodded, saying, "As I said, we don't care who becomes the Demon King. We'll assist you when needed."

"But your success depends on you. The other demon princes are no pushovers."

The Lord of Darkness's smile remained unchanged as he said, "As I said, we'll see."

A mysterious confidence radiated from the Lord of Darkness. This unique confidence, combined with his regal demeanor and handsome appearance, gave him an inexplicable charm.

Garon scrutinized the Lord of Darkness.

This demon lord had pointed ears like an elf and an equally handsome appearance. However, his dark skin set him apart from elves.

Wait, could he be a fallen drow elf?

Did the Lord of Darkness have elven blood?

Garon pondered.

He did resemble an elf, yet lacked the elven scent. If he had elven blood, Garon would have detected it.

"Let's part ways here."

"Hopefully, we'll meet again not as enemies."

Garon bade farewell to the Lord of Darkness, preparing to return to his divine kingdom.

At this moment, the Lord of Darkness called out, "Wait, don't leave just yet."

Garon's eyes narrowed, showing vigilance.

The demon lord spread his hands, indicating no malice.

Still smiling, the Lord of Darkness said, "My mother sends her regards and invites you to visit Androlina's Bone Fortress."

Androlina, a name for an Abyssal layer.

Hearing this, Garon was slightly stunned

.

"What?"

He blurted out.

The Lord of Darkness, looking apologetic, continued, "I was presumptuous. Allow me to introduce my mother—one of the oldest Obiris demons, creator of many demon lords, ruler of the 471st layer of the Abyss, the Mother of Demons, Twilight."

Garon shook his head, saying, "I know who your mother is, but why does the Mother of Demons want me in Androlina?"

The Lord of Darkness, smiling elegantly, revealed a pair of small fangs, saying, "My mother enjoys breeding with divine creatures. Clearly, she fancies you and wishes to combine your bloodlines to birth offspring."

Garon, with a peculiar expression, replied, "I recall your siblings were created by the Mother of Demons to vie for the demon throne. Aren't you afraid a new sibling might hinder your path to kingship?"

The Mother of Demons had ambitions of her own.

Unlike other demons vying directly for the princely title, she aimed to birth countless powerful offspring, making her bloodline kings, and positioning herself as the Queen Mother.

The strategy wasn't without merit; several demon lords were her descendants, including the powerful Lord of Darkness.

"I won't fear the unknown future."

"I am confident in remaining my mother's finest offspring."

The Lord of Darkness said with a smile.

Whatever method the Mother of Demons used, it earned her great admiration and respect from such a powerful demon lord.

"But what about your own thoughts? Aren't you opposed?"

"The Mother of Demons didn't consider your feelings."

The Lord of Darkness nonchalantly replied, "Because she believes in my strength. Besides, my mother's happiness is all that matters, and you can make her happy."

Pausing, the Lord of Darkness added seriously, "If you agree, I'll grant you a promise to assist you once more within my abilities."

Garon:

This mother-son relationship among demons was somewhat terrifying.

After careful consideration, Garon shook his head, refusing, "I don't want my bloodline becoming demonized. No, thank you."

The Mother of Demons clearly desired Garon's true form, not just his divine avatar.

Legends spoke of Twilight's strange power to extract the essence of a father's bloodline to birth corresponding demonic offspring. Garon couldn't be sure if combining with Twilight would produce a Time Demon.

Of course, agreeing was out of the question.

"In that case, I won't insist."

After Garon's refusal, the Lord of Darkness didn't press further.

"Send my regards to your mother."

Before departing, Garon said politely.
