Paris.
Adrian was in his room, sitting on a chair in front of his desk, reading a thick book with words written in an unknown language, which seemed like random symbols.
But through the help of Mr. Clown, Adrian was able to read them in English, even if he couldn't comprehend them; it was still good to be able to at least know of them.
He had already confirmed that everything about his sister was fine and she was safe. Even though the bad feeling in his heart remained, he couldn't figure out the reason for it.
Thus, he chose to ignore the feeling and sit down to study.
"I should also make sure that everything is fine in school, too."
Even though he was currently ignoring his feelings, he still had not given up on finding the cause for them.
He was currently reading the book on the thirty legendary beasts.
If said more specifically, then the legendary beast of The Apocalypse Pathway.
He had not been that interested in any other pathway other than his.
It was not that he wasn't interested in any other Pathway. In fact, he was interested in all of them, but due to his being from the Apocalypse pathway.
As he had already read all he could about the legendary beast of The Apocalypse Pathway, He closed the book and started to summarize the knowledge in his mind.
Mr. Clown had left to go somewhere right now.
"He said he would be back quickly, but it has been so long; where has he been?" Adrian wondered.
Mr. Clown had never left his side like this ever since he had first been assigned as his bodyguard.
Adrian didn't worry about an ambush. He had already been informed that Max is roaming nearby for him and that Eric and even a Hypernova can immediately come if he gets in danger.
"I wonder why I am being helped in such high regard?"
He soon shook his head and started to summarize all that he had learnt just now.
"So every time a Pathway is formed, A beast is also born from it and has a unique title bestowed upon it. I couldn't read that name because of my low rank, but I can get information about them, unlike high-ranking human Aura users."
"The name of the legendary Aura creature of The Apocalypse Pathway is Draco. It is a huge black immortal dragon and can even change its body shape and become as large as a planet. How scary..."
"He was formed in the latter parts of the Dystopian Era, and his body is covered in black scales and is said to have red or green eyes. It has a terrifying aura around it. It is prideful and causes great destruction wherever he goes."
"In battle strength, it can even go evenly against a True Supernova!"
Normally, Most beasts, even if they are of the same level or rank as an Aura user, are unable to beat one human Aura user unless under specific conditions.
That is because normal beasts don't have wisdom and are mostly wisdomless, only relying on their instincts.
But these legendary beasts are way different; they can think, talk, and even use Meditation Aura and form complex Aura techniques, also having completely formed Inner realms.
"What I found the most interesting is its reincarnation ability. It is not unkillable, but every time it dies, it reincarnates again somewhere in the world as a dragon again unknowingly and can't be tracked; it had been killed before once and reincarnated."
"The one who killed him was... the first Meditation Master."
...
Lumenia
ROOOAAARRR!!!!
Just as everyone was anticipating a True Supernova guest, most likely the Meditation Master himself, a roar resounded, which shook the entire lumenia and caused tremors to happen.
A strong force suddenly appeared on everyone's body, making it hard for them to even stand, and some even fainted.
The earth shook as the unawakened people started to scream and run around all over Lumenia as the assigned low-ranking Aura users tried to calm them down.
Debris fell from the buildings as the earthquake continued for a few seconds before finally stopping.
None of the guests in the white mansion, however, were panicked or scared and were just curious and intrigued about what had just happened.
This could be that someone was attacking Lumenia, but if they were attacking at this time, then it meant that this person is either very strong or just overconfident.
"Can it be those lone Supernovas have teamed up and are attacking?"
"Or it can be the leader of the Organization!"
Everyone had their own opinions as they looked at the sky; even if they were inside the mansion or had their views obstructed, they could either see the sky through their Abyssal eyes or some uniqueness of their pathway.
They all could see a small black dot outside Lumenia's barrier.
Outside every planet in the Aurelis Solar System, there is a barrier set up, which is a formation set up by the sixth Meditation Master personally back in the days when he was still alive.
And now, Something was trying to enter Lumenia by forcefully breaking that barrier.
"Who is so brave enough to infiltrate our grand city!"
Many Hypernovas were angry and screamed.
They soon realized that this was a creature.
"A beast, wait, why does it look so similar?"
"Wait, wait, wait... Could it be! No, it hasn't appeared for hundreds of years!"
"Get ready for battle!. Everyone get in formation."
Every Aura user in Lumenia got tense and started to get into formation to fight the creature outside the barrier.
Even the Supernovas came outside their rooms and stood outside.
Sasaki was in front of them, smiling calmly. He was the only one who was not being tense right now, and this was naturally noticed by all the Supernovas and many Hypernovas.
But they could not care about that right now!.
The creature soon was able to break the barrier under the sharpness of its relentless claws and entered Lumenia. The moment it entered, it let out a huge roar that shook the entirety of Lumenia again and caused fear in the eyes of every single person living in Lumenia.
The creature suddenly charged and flew towards the white mansion with great speed.
It quickly became disguised as it was close enough not to be seen as a black dot anymore.
It had sharp teeth that seemed as sharp as daggers and two huge black, scaly wings on its back.
Its arms and legs were covered with thick scales that formed into a pair of huge scaly claws.
Its eyes were rhombus-shaped and completely red with no pupils and only red cornea.
Its entire body was as huge as a hill, and its body was covered with unending layers of scales that seemed as hard and shone as diamonds.
It had a huge tail that loses its thickness the more it goes down, and a medium-length neck.
Wherever it moved, the air collapsed in on itself as multiple parts of many-dimensional layers developed cracks.
There was an immense amount of a black coloured aura with black particles coming out of his body constantly that could only be seen by the Supernovas.
This was:
"Draco, The Bringer of Calamity"
Draco suddenly took a vertical downward thrust and landed in the garden directly.
The Hypernovas had already prepared their attacks and sent them out in a wave in the direction of Draco.
Draco didn't pay these attacks any heed.
Sasaki snorted lightly as he waved his left hand.
A light blue aura with cyan and white particles in it came out and evaporated as white slashes started to appear endlessly.
These slashes soon took the form of a white, malicious dragon as it flew up from the ground and took all the attacks. The attacks on it blasted in all kinds of colours and looked like fireflies.
By the time they ended, forty percent of the dragon was gone, but it was still very powerful and full of life.
Sasaki waved his right hand as the dragon made up of slashes disintegrated into nothingness.
All those who had attacked were shocked and were questioning themselves about what Sasaki was doing.
Bam!
Draco landed in the garden right in front of Sasaki, looking down at Sasaki with intense killing intent oozing out of its body that made everyone lower-ranked than Supernovas freeze and even forget to breathe.
This was a True Supernova level after all. True supernovas stand at the apex of the Universe and can move unhindered anywhere they want to.
Any existence even close to it is not something that a Supernova can even dream of defeating,
The tremors had already stopped.
Yet no one moved.
Dust still lingered faintly in the air, drifting like reluctant witnesses to what had just arrived.
Draco stood in the center of the garden.
Massive. Still. Watching.
No aura was being released—at least, none that could be seen.
And that was exactly what made it worse.
A few of the lower-ranked Aura users collapsed to their knees without realizing it. Their bodies trembled, breaths turning shallow, as if something invisible had wrapped around their throats.
Even the Hypernovas had gone silent.
Not one of them attacked again.
Not one of them spoke.
Because instinct—something far older than logic—was screaming at them:
Don't.
Sasaki, however, was unfazed and smiled even more widely, didn't even bother looking back, and only looked up at Draco's head.
This stare down continued for a few seconds before Draco couldn't help it, and his body started to shake.
Suddenly, the end of Draco's lips started to twitch; the more they stared at each other, the more their lips twitched.
Until a grin had formed on their faces.
Draco suddenly started to laugh loudly as his red eyes became green and all the killing intent disappeared.
"Hahahaha. To think we really fooled them till now. Sorry, Sasaki, I couldn't keep my composure."
Sasaki also started to chuckle as he started to laugh loudly.
This was the first time anyone had ever seen him laugh this much.
"It is ok, friend. I wasn't expecting much from your bad acting skills anyway. Welcome to my humble wedding. I have already set up a place for you to rest."
Sasaki stared weirdly over Draco's huge body as he said slowly.
"Though... I would prefer if you change and reduce your size a little, the people here aren't used to living with such a Legendary beast after all."
Draco nodded and changed his size to the smallest he could, but even after that, he was still as tall as a small mountain.
Sasaki then finally turned around, a huge smile on his face as he bowed deeply to all the guests.
"I am sorry to scare you all, but now that the show is done, I would like you all to be introduced to my dear friend, Draco."
"It is nice to meet you all," Draco put his tail around Sasaki as he lowered his head a little.
"What the fuck is going on?"
Every guest was flabbergasted and speechless.
Alia started to laugh loudly as she looked at the other family heads with a mocking smile, while Alia started to crawl towards Draco, her eyes shining.
Draco picked her up with his sharp teeth, being as careful as he could, and put her on his head.
All the Supernovas had an ugly look on their face as they could say nothing.
But there was a mutual thought in all of their mind.
"It looks like the Blackbell family is still going to be ruling Lumenia for quite a long time."
Sasaki suddenly transmitted to the Dragonman Hypernova and instructed him to take care of all the needs of Draco.
The Dragonman was surprised before his eyes widened and his heart started pounding in excitement. He could tell that this was a huge opportunity that he was getting!
