Chapter 229: Chapter 224: The Suicidal Lich Chapter 229: Chapter 224: The Suicidal Lich “After turning himself into a Lich, Berlaint received an invitation from the Undead Council. He went along and became a member, then completely vanished from the face of Elasia.

It was only three hundred years later that he resurfaced to the world, this time as a legendary Lich.

But, even as a legend, he was still obsessed with our Dragon Race. However, he was no longer fixed on taming the living Giant Dragons but instead became fascinated with the Bone Dragons and Ghost Dragons. He believed that they were the ultimate works of art among the undead.

As a result, just after becoming a legend, Berlaint massacred the Five-Colored Evil Dragons scattered across the world, obtaining materials to create Bone Dragons. After killing the Five-Colored Dragons who were not yet legendary, he also imprisoned their dragon souls for the creation of Ghost Dragons.

This mass slaughter alerted Tiamat, mother of the Five-Colored Dragons in the Abyss. Enraged, the Dragon Empress personally issued a divine oracle, commanding her followers to surround and kill Berlaint, even dispatching an ancient red dragon to hunt him down.

Perhaps knowing he was outmatched, or more likely that he had already obtained enough materials to create Bone and Ghost Dragons. Thus, Berlaint disappeared once again, leaving the fury of the Five-Colored Dragon Empress with no place to vent.

The next time he appeared, he was carrying out the Council of the Undead Centennial Destruction mission, aiming to destroy four duchies.

According to the descriptions of survivors at the time, a legendary Lich clad in a black robe, leading hundreds of Bone Dragons and over a dozen Ghost Dragons, toured around after sowing the Undead Cataclysm, and destroyed the resistance force of those four duchies.

Because of his image, or rather his unique control of the undead legion, and because Berlaint revealed his traces once again after carrying out the annihilation mission, his identity was quickly confirmed. Because of this undead Dragon Army, he was granted the title of ‘Death Dragon Tamer’.”

Massacring the Five-Color Dragon Clan, creating hundreds of Bone Dragons and over a dozen Ghost Dragons, provoked the hostility of the Five-Color Dragon Clan and the mother of the Evil Dragons. Due to the fact they were both of the Dragon Race, along with the Lich’s identity, the Metallic Dragon Clan and Gem Dragon Clan also held no slightest liking for him, even to the point of extreme dislike.

But since all that was killed were the Five-Colored Evil Dragons, the Metallic Dragon Clan and the even more complacent (lazy) Gem Dragon Clan had absolutely no interest in going after this so-called ‘Death Dragon Tamer’.

“So, how did Berlaint provoke the Platinum Dragon God and the three Dragon Kings?” Muria asked curiously.

“According to our conjecture, Berlaintʼs mentality became inflated at that time. Because of the undead dragon army, he had the opportunity to enter the core layer of the Undead Council.

Added to that, having participated in an annihilation operation, he was exposed to the unfathomable foundation of the Undead Council. As a result, he felt there were many beings that he no longer needed to show too much deference to.

Therefore, he cast his greedy gaze onto us, the Metallic Dragon Clan and the Gem Dragon Clan. He was no longer satisfied with hunting Five-Colored Dragons for materials to create Bone and Ghost Dragons.

He wanted the corpses of even more diverse dragon clans. Thus, Berlaint began to crazily hunt down Metallic Dragons and Gem Dragons.”

“Idiot!” Muria shook her head, he must have been out of his mind, as if it wasn’t enough to offend the Five-Colored Dragon Clan, he actually ran to provoke the Metallic Dragon Clan and Gem Dragon Clan.

The Five-Color Dragon Clan, due to its greedy and brutal nature, does not have a good reputation in Elasia. If you killed a lot of Five-Colored Dragons, as long as you were strong enough and had a hard enough backing, there wouldn’t actually be too serious consequences.

Given the selfish nature of the Five-Color Dragons, even if their direct kin were killed, they would be furious. But without enough benefits to lure them, they would not willingly go on a rampage for revenge.

Besides, among the Five-Color Dragons, all except some Blue, Green, and a few White Dragons, the rest are solitary dragons that nobody would mourn their death. So once they’re killed, there’s no difference.

Furthermore, if Tiamat was enraged, it wouldn’t matter. As a dragon god, her peak power in the Material World is only at the Legendary Peak level. Giving a Divine Oracle? That wouldn’t pose a threat either, because not many dragons would obey her oracle unless she offered substantial benefits attractive to the dragons.

The ‘Mother of Evil Dragons’, has very little control over the race she created. Almost no Red or Black Dragons would worship her, which is rather pathetic. (The Metallic Dragon Clan, created by the Platinum Dragon God, isn’t much better, but many in the clan follow and carry out her God’s Oracle).

As for the Blue and Green Dragons, yes, they have the most worshippers among the Five-Color Dragons, but look at the fifteen Green Dragons who have chosen to follow Muria without hesitation and betrayed their faith. That gives you an idea of how shallow their faith to the ‘Mother Dragon’ is.

Therefore, as a Legendary Lich who joined the Undead Council, it shouldn’t matter much if Berlaint provoked the Five-Color Dragon Clan.

However, provoking the Metallic Dragon Clan and the Crystal Dragon Clan was different. In these two dragon clans, if one was antagonized, it was equivalent to offending a group.

It’s typical that when the young ones are beaten, the elders come out. Even if you’ve got enough power to deal with the elders, there will always be older ones popping out… Generation after generation, they just keep coming.

Among the Legendary Liches, Berlaint was undoubtedly among the strongest. If he had dared to provoke the Platinum Dragon God and three Dragon Kings and was still able to jump about now, it just showed his strength.

“In the end, the Platinum Dragon God issued a Divine Oracle, and the three Dragon Kings issued a manhunt. I don’t know how many powerful Ancient Dragons responded to the call, hunting down Berlaint all over the world.

Ultimately, under the combined attack of seven Legendary Ancient Dragons, the Undead Dragon Legion that Bertlein controlled, which had grown to nearly 300 in number, was utterly destroyed, and his Lich’s body was also crushed on the spot.

It seems that Berlaint has resurrected now, but it’s unknown how much of his power has recovered.”

“A Lich who was ordered to be killed by the Dragon God and the Dragon King has reappeared.” Muria finished her spiritual communication with Kaslana, muttering to herself, “No wonder Kaslana’s grandfather had this reaction.”

“Young man from the Elonsas family, what are you thinking?” At this moment, a dignified blond middle-aged man came to Muria, looked suspiciously between his granddaughter and Muria, where he couldn’t hide the spiritual fluctuations caused by their communication.

“Your Excellency Alviss, I was not thinking about anything particular.” Muria lowered her head; for some reason, she felt a bit guilty under the old dragon’s gaze.

“Why didn’t you inform your mother?” Alviss didn’t ask the young dragon what he had just discussed with his granddaughter. Everyone should leave some privacy for the younger generation, besides his granddaughter was old enough…

“Ahem, I don’t have my mother’s contact details.” Muria turned her head aside awkwardly and revealed this rather undignified fact.

“No contact information.” Alviss narrowed his eyes after hearing Muria’s response, but he didn’t ask any more questions.
