Chapter 927 The Truth

-----
"As I am right now, I can't do much. This is why I want to help Drake, as the Dragon King, to unlock his powers and grow stronger… There is a darkness darker than anything before lurking within this world, a darkness I failed to spot in my years as a Venerable until the end of my lifespan." The Venerable said.
"Let me guess… Oberon?" I asked.
"…Yes." She sighed.
"Huh, I guess he's kind of like you… Someone well know for being a hero, but that is actually an evil motherfucker. Well, the opposite I guess?" I wondered.
"I-I'm rather shocked you could make such a comparison, I guess that only makes me feel even more terrible…" The Venerable sighed.
S M A A A C K!
Benladann quickly sm acked me in the head, but it barely hurt.
"Drake don't be so rude with the Venerable! She already said she was sorry, don't be like this now… You're not like this." She said.
"I-I know, okay, I'll be more polite." I sighed.
Rose seemed slightly relieved, as she smiled a bit.
"I am just glad you feel this way, Vener able. I came here without expecting anything, to be honest…" Rose said. "I know you might not be able to help us directly right now, but I am simply happy to hear that."
"You're a noble girl." The Venerable said. "And your existence as a whole as evolved into something I had never seen before… Have you become a Divine Spirit through the Divine Power granted by the Tower?"
"Yes… something like that." Rose spoke.
"Amazing, you've become something the Venerable of Blood has been trying to create for so long and always failed… Your existence as a whole is very unique." The Venerable kept praising Rose. "I might be able to give you a gift that could enhance your strength, alongside helping you all in your predicament of rescuing the Vessel of the Venerable of Blood, after all, it wouldn't be good if I allowed that lecherous monster to take over an innocent girl's body."
"You'll help us rescue Ruby, Venerable?!" Rakasha, who had been shy the entire time spoke.
"Why yes!" She said. "…Ah! You're a Blacksmith God! An incredibly rare God… I think you might be the first one in a couple of hundreds of years. The last one is within the Dwarves."
"Blacksmith god?" Rakasha had yet to notice he had become a God whose divinity seems to be Blacksmith. "I-I am such a being?"
"Yes, you are." The Venerable said. "But for now, how about we shift into the topic Drake seemed to be interested in?"
"Yeah… I want to know things for real, could you be more direct?" I wondered.
"Yes, I can. But I believe Terra himself can answer your question." She said.
Terra suddenly shone bright gold and brown in color, as his entire body suddenly reduced in size, he used Polymorph Magic, a magic that dragons of high rank can use and turned into his humanoid form. He resembled a… Huh? He was a girl?!
Terra turned out to be a girl, a beautiful and mature woman with a tall body, she resembled a Mountain Giant woman, with brown hair and brown, rocky scales growing around her arms and legs, alongside a long tail and horns over her golden hair. Her eyes also shone bright gold the same as her horns, and she had a long dress made of gold too… Terra really liked gold.
"Sorry for not changing before… I was a bit nervous; I've not changed into my humanoid form in a while… Hahah…" She giggled timidly. "But as you can see, you guys killed me there but… Well, I came back. It is because I am already long dead, alongside all of our friends here."
"What?!" I asked in surprise.
"As you can see, this Tower is a place where I've stored many souls of many people. The monsters people defeat in trials are from the souls of my servants who offer themselves for these trials, they love the thrill of fighting and death, and don't mind dying over and over again… The Orc Tribe was actually rather diverse, the Orcs with me are all honorable warriors." The Venerable said. "And Terra… Well, she was my friend."
"Friend?" I wondered.
"Yeah. The Venerable meet me long ago when I was still alive. She found me in my egg and raised me since I was a little baby dragon." Said Terra. "We fought and survived together through a chaotic world… But I ultimately died in battle before I could see her rise into a Venerable…"
"However, I managed to capture my friend's soul inside a special crystal and kept her with me for many years until I created this tower and brought her back as a Divine Realm Spirit." Said the Venerable.
"Yeah…" Terra said with a nod.
"Sorry to disappoint you, Drake, I was already dead." She sighed.
"Huh, so it was like that…"
Over my calmness after hearing the situation, the Venerable and Terra felt slightly shocked.
"Eh? At least be a bit sad!" Terra complained angrily.
"I am rather sad but you passed away long ago, and its not like we meet for long to feel so bad about it… Nonetheless, it is relieving you were already dead and merely something like an illusion back then… But even so, you were formidable strong." I said.
"I am!" Said Terra pridefully. "And now, as an Ancient Earth Dragon, it is my duty to reward you as well, Drake!"
"Reward me?" I wondered.
"Yes, in this divine realm my body is almost the same as a physical one, so I shall take upon your pent-up lust!" She said. "Come, let's breed together until you're satisfied! I never lost my virginity so I am rather pumped up too…! With a fellow dragon, I am sure you'll-"
"Stop talking nonsense and go to the point!" The Venerable smacked Terra.
SMACK!
