Is that a Wisp? Chapter 428 Ralaz

Laex then organized his thoughts and began to tell a story.

“Although it is extremely hard for a Phoenix and a Dragon to give birth to a hybrid, it is not like it didn’t happen after soo many Chaos Cycles. There had been a few instances where such a child come to be. However, these kids’ bloodline had never been a fusion between phoenix and dragon. At most, the two bloodlines inside of those children didn’t reject each other and worked in harmony. In some cases, they even attacked each other, making the kid’s life a real torment.”

“Some of those younglings would have a higher rate of Dragon Bloodline, while others would have a higher concentration of Phoenix one. Still, their bloodline had never really ‘fused’ together into a new one. Depending on which bloodline was stronger, the youngling would be taught that race’s technique. He would also be considered just a Phoenix or a Dragon depending on this point as well.”

Laex’s expression then changed from this point onwards.

“However, there had been a single instance where such a thing happened. This is a legend passed inside both the Dragon and Phoenix Race. During times immemorial, when each Universe had only so many races alive, the Dragon and Phoenix races gave birth to a hybrid with a fused bloodline. Both races were in good terms during that time, so this news made everyone happy. His name was Ralaz.”

“However, it was then that a problem occurred. As the youngling grew, his bloodline power far surpassed both Dragons and Phoenixes’. It reached a point where it was so strong that only the elders of both races could resist it.”

Krune couldn’t help but ask.

“What you mean with ‘resist it’?”

Laex then continued.

“It means that those who couldn’t resist would fall under his control. Simply put, that bloodline power forced both Dragons and Phoenixes to follow his order, no questions asked. Even if he asked them to suicide, the Dragons and Phoenixes would do so without even blinking.”

“Ralaz started to grow thirst for power. Having both the Dragon and Phoenix races under his every call, he began to covet the control of all Races in all Universes.”

“You must understand that there weren’t as many Universes during that time as there is now. So such a dream would be possible if one had total control over two of the Strongest Races. Of course, the Dragon and Phoenix Races didn’t really want to go into war against everyone else. But they were powerless against Ralaz. Once a Dragon or Phoenix fell under his control, they would never wake up again.”

“However, the fact is that his opponents were a lot more numerous. So, in the end, Ralaz was killed under a joint attack of several elders of various races in a final attempt to put an end to his reign. The moment Ralaz died, all the Dragons and Phoenixes who were under his control immediately woke up. Thanks to that, the war was finally over.”

“The repercussions of such a war lasted for many Chaos cycles. Also, thanks to the fact that the elders of the Dragon and Phoenix races also helped with everything they could, the other races didn’t eliminate our Races.”

“Of course, there was also the fact that the remaining number of Dragons and Phoenixes was enormous. To entirely eliminate both races would be practically impossible. It would only cause the death tool to increase even more. Not to mention that all of them were only being controlled. The biggest majority of the Dragons and Phoenixes had no intention of beginning that war to start with.”

Laex eyes seemed to shine while telling that story. It was evident that his Dragon Race put a lot of importance on it.

“Since then, Dragons and Phoenixes would refrain from having children together. Even when they couldn’t resist the urge, their youngling would be watched closely. If it was found out that he has a fused bloodline, the rules stated that he should be immediately killed. No questions asked, as well. Of course, the chances of a fused bloodline appearing was simply too low! Be it before Ralaz was born or after Ralaz died, such a fused bloodline only has appeared once. However…”

Laex then looked at Liriu with a complicated expression.

“Well, I guess I don’t need to say anything else. Here he is, the second-ever born Dracophoenix in history. Right in front of me.”

Tiane and Ruik’s expressions were pale as a piece of paper. Doesn’t that mean that the entire Dragon and Phoenix Race will be coming after their Liriu with full power? How could they even dream about resist such an assault?

Laex couldn’t help but sigh again.

“To think that these Elemental Meridians were capable of bringing forward such a transformation.”

Krune shook his head, though.

“It is not too hard to think about the Elemental Meridians as the reason behind it. After all, we already know that the Elemental Meridians can become part of one’s bloodline, or are at least similar to it. There is a lot that we don’t know about the Myriad Energies Technique, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we find even more secrets in the future.”

Feifei and the rest agreed with Krune. After all, the Myriad Energies Technique could be changed, and new forms could be created as well. It is really an unbelievable technique.

Tiane didn’t care bout that at the moment, though.

“Who cares about that? I want to know what I should do? Liriu is in as much danger as Krune and Cinty now.”

Laex shook his head.

“Liriu is in a much more dangerous situation. That is because different from Krune, who doesn’t have any bloodline, Liriu’s bloodline is way too easy to perceive. Even now, while he is weak and not doing anything, I can feel my Dragon Bloodline inferiority compared to his. As long as he gets close to any other Dragon or Phoenix, or any subrace with a high enough concentration of either bloodline, they will immediately notice his presence.”

Laex then got up and said.

“Besides, I need to report it back to the Dragon Race as well.”

Everyone was taken aback. They didn’t expect that Laex would do such a thing.

Ruik, obviously, immediately got enraged.

“Laex, how could you?!”

Ruik couldn’t control himself and attacked Laex. At this moment, he couldn’t care less about their difference in cultivation.
