Crimson Overlord

The man muttered in a depressed tone. Things would have progressed faster if they had not run away. It had been thousand years already. To long-living beings like them, it was not much, but when the fate of an entire realm was at stake, they must stop playing and take the bigger picture into account.

”Go rest for some time before departing again, but this time takes more men with you; also use one of the Space piercers to travel; that would reduce your travel time. Oh! I almost forgot Elder Brian would be going with you. This will be your last chance; if you fail this time, you wouldn’t be the only one to suffer the consequences.” The black-haired man added.

”I understand; I will accomplish this mission with my life on the line; I won’t waste your excellency’s goodwill,” Lorien says while bowing before departing towards his quarter. With the Space Piercer (spaceship used for war and exploration. It is fast, faster enough to pierce space, that’s why it was named like that), their traveling time will be considerably reduced; he was given the authorization to go with lots of men this time, even Elder Brian will be going, a peak middle rank Level 1, with him they are sure to succeed this time, thought Lorien praying not to encounter that monster ever again even if he had sworn he would come back for revenge when he fled, he knew that it was impossible, he had just said that to maintain his image in front of his men.

Even with a Level 1 Lorien didn’t want to encounter Orpheus. There’s a huge difference starting from Level 2 between origin master. While starting from Level 2, you can create being like you; Level 1 is another level. They can destroy world when they go all out. Level 0, the Absolute Realm origin master, are the overlord here. The strongest of the strongest, there another level, another realm above the absolute realm. It’s recorded in the ancient texts. It is this realm they’re trying to achieve. Rumors have it that the one who stepped into this realm: The Overlord Realm, could create powerful and stable world.

Once alone, the black-haired man sat back on the throne, deeply signing as he said to no one in particular.

”I know that I can’t be considered a good father, even though she’s my dear child; I always think of her as a tool, nothing else, not taking into account what she truly wants, even this marriage is for the sake of convenience, something necessary to strengthen two races. Forgive me, my child; I can’t let you go; two are necessary. The prophecy said that the child born under the golden sun, which is you, will become True immortal, and your partner will also become true immortal. You are the key to breaking the unbreakable wall. He’s your fiance; it can’t only be him; he is the most suitable for you. May Heaven forgives me, but all this is necessary for the survival of our world; those devils are becoming too strong. There is even a rumor saying that the twin devils are already level 1 closer to Level 0; they might succeed in breaking the wall. We can only place our hope on you two. We must become the first one to step into that realm and destroy them for good.”

Somewhere in the God Realm, in the garden of a Golden Palace (carved on the palace wall are the pictures of gigantic western dragons) floating in the air, sitting on a golden chair was a man, with highly handsome features, chiseled jawline, deep long golden hair, vertical golden pupils like eyes, pair of antler-like horns from the side of his head, he was dressed in a simple white robe, even with that he’s like the picture of perfection, only an extremely beautiful woman was missing to form a complete masterpiece created by the Gods.

He just sat there looking in the sky. A few minutes later, he opened his mouth to speak; his voice was extremely pleasing to the ears.

”Emea, where are you? I miss you; without you, my life is bland; just knowing that you are present in the Realm is enough to calm my heart. My love for you is deep as the universe itself. Why can’t you love me back? Am I not worthy of you? Maybe now I’m about to inherit the Dragon God’s power to consolidate my advancement in Level 0. I’ll be worthy of you.” The handsome man paused before continuing.

”Our marriage will take place soon; I don’t want to force you because I know that you don’t like this forced marriage. I love you from the bottom of my heart; I really do. It’s for that reason that I decided to win your heart with my own hands, my own method, not to force you using this marriage, but at the pace where things are going, I will be forced to resort to the method that I did not want to use because this exceeds us, the honor of my clan, my species, the fate of our realm is at stake, if they bring your back we’ll automatically get married. No, I will send some men with them to ensure they catch you this time. I want to go myself, but I’m busy, don’t worry, I will be there to welcome you.”

Afterward, he sends some of his men toward the Hestia Empire to help Lorien and his crew. All his men are in Level 1.

This extremely handsome man is the crown prince of the Azure Dragon Empire of the True dragon race, Aatox’s big brother. The next inheritor of the Dragon God power. Emea’s fiancé Arthur Dragneel.

Although he had initially said he wouldn’t go, Arthur was feeling too reckless. It was as if he didn’t hurry; something that belonged to him would be taken. Because the Dragon’s God’s inheritance would start soon, he was left with few choices. Arthur forcibly separated a part of his soul to create a clone that followed the squads going to capture Emea and Nui. He was going not only because of the prophecy, but because he fell in love with her, he could only be his woman.
