Chapter 624 - 623 – Ice Dragon Clan’s Secret – Part 3.

After managing her escape, Thanatos wasted no time to contact Phantasia and relay all of the information to Phantasia… Who wasn't thrilled about what he heard.

"…You got to be fucking kidding me." – said Phantasia as he was using {Chat – Video Call} to communicate with Thanatos.

"I know… I had a same reaction." – said Thanatos.

"Still, without a doubt, that man was member of the light dragon clan."

"Not only that, but princess Assinia called that man by the name Agriu."

"Could you look it up?"

"…"

"I will… Still, that is a lot of information." – said Phantasia.

"I will have to tell about this to 'Kid' as well…."

"…"

"Anyway, continue your observation."

"The preparation for the invasion are almost over. So, if worst comes to worst, give us a signal to move out instantly."

"Understood." – replied Thanatos as she then ended the call.

"…"

(What the fuck?) – thought Phantasia.

(I just wanted one day of fucking peace where the things won't get further complicated… So, the fuck is this?)

"…"

*Sigh*

"Yeb. I know what 'Kid' will say."

[Sometime later: Vampiric royal castle]

"…You got to be fucking kidding me." – said 'Kid'.

"I know… I had a same reaction." – said Phantasia as he and 'Kid' had meet in the vampire emperor's office.

"I just wanted a new fucking base… But here we fucking are! New conspiracy!"

"…"

"Okay. So let me get this straight." – said 'Kid'.

"The nature and light dragons who should have impossible time moving around, had made alliance with ice dragon clan and possible with all of the other dragons."

"Turning them into the double attribute dragons that could a necromancy."

"They told them to stay put and just wait for the time is right."

"And they were the ones that are using the divinities to make the war end as soon as possible, while also making factions destroy each other as much as possible."

"Is this right?"

"Yeb." – said Phantasia.

"Honestly, when I've had first encounter with those necro ice dragons, I thought that maybe light and nature dragon clans were involved, since as you remember back then when they betrayed us, they used extremely powerful necromancy with assist of some kind of artifacts."

"But now? We know for sure they are related."

"…And that 'FLESH', do you have any idea what it was?" – asked 'Kid'.

"No. Thanatos who infiltrated their base only told me that it was some kind weird container with green liquid that contained inside a massive lump of grey flesh with mouths and eyes." – replied Phantasia.

"However, the location where it was located looked like some kind of ritual site combined with laboratory."

"…"

"If possible, I want to get my hands on that grey flesh." – said 'Kid'.

"So do I." – said Phantasia.

"If that thing can really grant a beings a powerful necromantic attribute, I could use to create somewhat powerful homunculuses."

"…"

"Still, I'm more worried about the fact that other dragon clans could truly be working for the traitor clans AND the fact that light as well as nature dragon clans may not be truly locked in place."

"From what Thanatos told me, the dragon princess wanted a favor to rescue or find what remains ice dragon queen."

"…It could imply at two things." – said 'Kid'.

"Either she wanted another neutral clan to act… Or she wanted the light dragon clan itself to come to the rescue."

"Either option would confirm something… But let's say that both of them are correct."

"…"

"Do you want to hold off the report for now?"

"Honestly, it would be nice." – said Phantasia.

"We could say that it was a revenge, since the ice clan declared war on us and what not."

"I've already reported to the organization before about the whole act of aggression and double attribute dragons."

"But still… It wouldn't do much since the traitors would realize that we would obtain after the secret after invasion or we would search for the reason behind the double attribute."

"…Still, the delayed report wouldn't warn the other clans…."

"…"

"Fuck."

"Oh. What now?!" – said already pissed off 'Kid'.

"Okay. So, I've had theory that the culprit behind the current chaos, who knew about the divinity, could had possible obtained information about the elder gods and knew exactly what they were and who they were… Right?"

"Like power level, rank and what not…."

"So… If the traitor dragons are the truly ones who were behind the current event… Wouldn't that mean… I don't know… There was a chance that they took almost all of the highest-ranking elder gods' divinities for themselves?"

"…Oh shit." – said 'Kid'.

(That guy already told me that there are divinities of the higher-ranking gods in the mix, and that one of his teammates have one of those higher-ranking divinities.) – thought extremely alarmed 'Kid'.

(If the dragons really had information about the elder gods… Then it could have been-)

"!"

"Wait… Is it maybe related to arcane dragons?" – said 'Kid'.

"?"

"Arcane dragons?" – asked Phantasia.

"What do they have to do with anything? Aren't they dead?"

"Yeah… They are dead… The dragon clan who had gone extinct long time ago." – said 'Kid'.

"I knew these bastards."

"Right now the light dragon clan are know as dragon clan who specializes in researching a lot of stuff and technology… But in the past, there was arcane dragons."

"They were not only the strongest dragon clan there was, but they were also the smartest ones who researched a lot of different things, but way than light dragons, accumulating so much knowledge that they were known as the dragons of knowledge."

"However, even though they had both knowledge and power, they were the first one to fall."

"Reason was simple. Fear."

"The demonic forces focused their power on exterminating them… And in the end, they succeeded."

"The nest that they once had was completely transformed into the temple worshiping the demonic god of magic and questions."

"Honestly speaking, everybody was caught off guard by how fast they had fallen… Since again, they were the strongest dragon clan at the moment that even I didn't looked down upon."

"However… However, what if it wasn't just demonic forces?"

"What if somebody may had contributed to the fall of the arcane dragon clan?"

"…"

"From what I've understood, the culprits behind the information needed time to find location of each temple." – said Phantasia.

"Meaning they used up a lot of time."

"And there is another thing regarding knowledge."

"They needed to find out that divinity of the elder gods exist."

"Meaning if it was a light or nature dragon clans… Heck, maybe all of the neutral clans, they may had land a hand to the demons in order to destroy their fellow dragon clan and steal their knowledge." – said 'Kid'.

"If somebody were to have some deep knowledge about elder gods, it would be without the elder gods… Meaning that it would make sense for these bastards to target the arcane dragon clan to steal that knowledge."

"And after they had obtained that knowledge, they started moving, locating the divinities."

"Maybe the whole necromancy deal may not had been done in a way we had thought." – said Phantasia.

"Maybe they used the power of the elder god? A high ranking one at that."

"…"

"Using the power of miracle to do it." – said 'Kid'.

"But they couldn't possible do that quickly, since they needed to hide divinities… Especially a WORSHIP which would generate faith." – said Phantasia.

"They needed it in order to perfume the… Miracles… Fuck."

"…I think how they could had done it."

"…True Homunculuses."

"!"

"Wait, are you saying these guys had access to these homunculuses before you discovered a secret?!" – said 'Kid'.

"I don't know… But if that is the case, then it would somewhat explain why they were so slow." – said Phantasia.

"They would need a lot of FAITH."

"And you know how to create these true homunculuses."

"They didn't wanted to get caught, so they would move extremely slow, making sure to obtain materials without being found out."

"…"

"All the fucking pieces are sticking together." – said 'Kid'.

"…"

"You know. It doesn't really make sense when I think about it."

"What? If the organization would lose, they would then step up?"

"Nah. These guys are too prideful."

"…But what if the reason why they haven't done anything was to prepare?"

"…"

"These guys weren't complete idiots like everybody had thought." – said Phantasia.

"They were not only waiting for the right opportunity to win completely."

"And not just to save this world, but to conquer it."

"…"

"There is also a question of that weird lump of grey flesh."

"Is that a power of miracle?"

"Or maybe something new they had created with divine power?"

"Either way, things ended up way more complicated than we had thought."

"Yeah… They did." – said 'Kid'.

"…"

"You got the be fucking kidding me." – said both men.

(I just wanted a fucking new base, but now when we think about it, we are finding out that IT COULD BE A DEEP LEVEL FUCKING CONSPIRACY BULLSHIT?!) – thought extremely annoyed Phantasia.

"…"

(Not only that, if those guys truly have better knowledge of divinity than anybody else out there… And if they also have managed to obtain most of the highest-ranking elder gods' divinities… Then we may be truly be fucked.)
