[Central Continent, Dragon Mountain, Heavenly Dragon Flame Cave]
Within the Heavenly Dragon Flame Cave sat many spectacular figures that would be able to single-handedly wreak havoc across entire tribes and clans, with a few even wielding the power to eradicate entire species. However, they all sat like docile lambs behind the biggest and most beautiful Dragon in front of them, the one and only Crystal Dragon King.
The Dragon King didn’t pay them a lick of attention and focused on the task at hand, he was already used to being surrounded with such reverent gazes and didn’t bother to acknowledge them. Right now, he was at probably the most important moment in his life and wanted zero distractions to disturb him because if he failed… his life was forfeit.
The Dragon King looked at the grand violet coloured flame in front of him with a solemn resolution.
Even if he could go outside and cause carnage across entire races, he was right to be wary now in the face of this flame. Because what he was actually planning on doing was something that no sane Lifeform would ever even dream to do or even think about… He wanted to devour and assimilate the whole Heavenly Dragon Flame!
Right now he was focusing on raising his affinity with the flame to the max, something which despite his world-class talent and constant dedication, had taken him over a hundred years. But it wouldn’t be long now and in any moment he would be ready.

The Crystal Dragon King let out a long sigh as he deepened his comprehensions on the Earth Flame before him. The lowest level of a natural flame produced by the Planet, nothing in existence could create these and they could only be formed naturally… or that would be the case if Eridel, the World itself didn’t have the ability to create them whenever he wanted.
The Flame before the Dragon King was just an Earth Rank Flame and even then, it was a continental treasure that would cause the whole World to go crazy with desire to possess it. It was also because of this flame that the Dragon King was having to fend off the attacks of Drako and the rest of his ‘abnormal flying snakes’.
The reason he had decided to actually go forth with this dangerous endeavour was because even though he was stronger than Drako, he didn’t dare to kill him at all. He still remembered the ridiculously large Snake who had tormented him for a few years before leaving and even if that was many decades ago, he didn’t dare to provoke her ire. Naturally, the giant Snake was Jörma and she had left him with a serious mental scar.
His hope was that with the full power of the Earth Rank Flame that the Dragon Clan called the [Heavenly Dragon Flame], he would be able to finally get rid of the shadow in his heart; Defeat Jörma, kill Drako and slaughter the rest of their divergent Snake races for good.
He didn’t consider those ‘abnormal flying snakes’ as Dragons at all even if they had the feeling and slight physical traits of one.
The Dragon King shook his head before closing his eyes to amplify his concentration. This was not the time for idle thoughts, especially not such terrifying ones.
The Crystal Dragon King opened his eyes to reveal one of the most beautiful pair irises on the Planet.
He gave a telepathic message to all the Dragons behind him to leave the premises. He had seen a few of the other Supreme Dragons become Realm 4 Enlightened Beasts and he was sure that if he survived the consumption of the Heavenly Dragon Flame, it would push him over that edge and he would also become an Enlightened Beast, in which case it would much, much better if the other Dragons escaped.
Just thinking back on those wrathful strikes from the sky still gave him chills to this day.
The Dragon King softly closed his eyes before opening them again with a ruthless look in his eyes. The glare that he had given to many foes, he was now giving to… himself? Well, considering the circumstances, he was indeed about to be viciously ruthless to himself.
The Dragon King stretched to his full height with his wings spread out and roared with all the dignity of an almighty Dragon King that had colonised entire races, before charging straight at the Violet coloured Flame.
In a mysterious underground cave that wasn't too far away from the Dragon Mountain, a mysterious and flabbergasting scene was taking place.
10 breathtakingly gorgeous Dragons could be seen making their way up a set of steps that led to the outside World.
Of the 10 Dragons, 9 were dark red in colour with the last and biggest one being a luminous gold. 7 of those dark red Dragons were roughly 1.7 metres long with an aura of brutality that seemed to want to attack anything around them.
The other 2 dark red Dragons were much larger in size being 4 metres long with their horns and claws being black in colour and swirling with Destruction Laws that looked like neon-red fireflies, but they had 2 contrasting auras that somehow wanted to achieve the same thing. Destruction.
The female one had an aura that was actually quite mellow and calm like a lake, and yet, there was an undeniable promise of fatality from this ‘lake’ that made it look like it wanted to drown you until even your soul dissolved.
On the other hand, the male had a fiery and volatile aura that seemed to want to extinguish EVERYTHING in existence. And yet… just like the other 8 dark red Dragons, they followed the golden Dragon in front without quarrel.
The golden Dragon was female and had beautiful resplendent scales that lacked any of the blemishes that the dusty environment were promising. The Dragon’s horns and claws were crystal-like and a much lighter yellow in colour than the scales, they were also similarly surrounded by the Essences of Creation that looked like golden fireflies and gave a feeling of impervious might.
The Golden Dragon was bigger than the rest of them being 5 metres long and on top of that had a much more abnormal aura that whilst gave a calm feeling, seemed to change around a lot like an illusive aurora in the sky. It was extremely ethereal.
They were obviously the 9 Destruction Dragons including Calmilla and Aeshma alongside the only Creation Dragon in the World, Gaia.
