BXBX NOVEL Chapter 586 - The End Is Drawing Closer
"Pope of the Church of Light, we can no longer ignore the fighting forces that the demons have amassed. We must hold their hand if we are to save this world from destruction of the dark god that descended." One of the elder dwarves stated as he slammed his hands on the table.
"The elves have already joined their party which would make them even more powerful now. You have seen the tree that sprung up in that floating territory. The elves are now more powerful than before. They are even rejoining hands with other elves of different species. We need their help." An elder gnome stated as she flashed images of the dark elves and wood elves working together.
"The orcs do not care what you stand but we will fight because we want this world to be safe. Our race might not be long-lived but the folk tales from before clearly stated that we are almost brought to extinction when the dark gods could roam freely." An orc chieftain stated as he just sits there but he exuded an aura of a great leader.
"The dragonkin oppose that plan as we are better working with ourselves than possible enemies." A dragonkin stated.
"We would have agreed with just us if those dragons that are your master will actually help us. Where are they? They did not even show up in this meeting and instead sent a proxy. Your master, the dragons, are always arrogant and boastful. They do not care about the world as long as they are not affected." The Elder Dwarf stated.
"You talk so much just because your people were slaves to the dragons before. It seems that your inferiority complex is flaring up again dwarf." The dragonkin stated which infuriated the dwarves.
"Be careful of what you say half lizard. Who do you think are making the weapons to vanquish that dark god? That dark god could easily pierce to the feeble scales of your masters which is why they are afraid to join the war. Unlike the proud western dragons, the Ryujin of the eastern continent has sent us aid." The elder dwarf stated which made the dragonkin mad because a puny dwarf dare disrespects her master.
"I thought that we would have the Ryujin in this meeting, Pope Pristina? They are farm more sociable than the dragons that we have here in the central continent." The elder gnome stated.
"We do not know their full intentions and also it is only one Ryujin that came. We should not give our full trust to one dragon as even they are not a match to a dark god. No offense to the dragonkin but the dragons are not as powerful and reproductive as they once were." Pope Pristina stated which everyone in the council knows.
The dragons have been struck by some sort of curse which is why the elder dragons could barely move while the ancient dragons are no longer alive. If they were still alive then they would have struck at the dark god with the blessing of their Mother Goddess.
"It is not a secret that the Goddess Tiamat has been unresponsive to the prayers of her children. I vote that we have a meeting with the demons. They know more about the dark gods as some have been alive when they are already a couple hundred years old." The elder dwarf stated as he looked at the other representatives of their race.
"It is only logical to gain the help of the demons at this point. Their ability to manipulate time and space will increase our chance of survival." The elder gnome stated as she had already calculated the odds.
"The orcs also agree that we are shorthanded when it comes to this fight. The orcs might be numerous, but we do not want to lead our brethren to their deaths in vain. We want a glorious victory." The orc chieftain stated.
"The dragonkin do not accept the aide of demons. If need be then we can ask a few of our masters to help in this battle." The dragonkin stated.
"I also agree with the dragonkin. Demons are known to manipulate and plunge the world into chaos. We cannot give then the chance of letting them creep back up. If we give them an inch, then we give them a mile." Pope Pristina stated but the elder dwarf and elder gnome are not happy with her decision.
"Your Eminence! Hou Yiwei has finally increased the rating of the God Slaying Weapon to Legendary Tier. It might be impossible to increase it any further which is why I am reporting it to you." A bishop that is beside the Pope of the Church of Light stated.
"See, a dragonkin that has mastered the bow and gained the affection of the Brilliant Mother has obtained a weapon that is said to be very effective against the dark gods. We also have reports that a magician has also gained access to another. We now have a better chance against the dark god without the help of the demons." The Pope of the Church of Light stated as she rose up in her seat.
"We should end the meeting for now as the next subjugation attempt will proceed tomorrow. Please reconvene with your groups to tell them about the plan that we are making." The Pope of the Church of Light stated as she gave everyone a calming light energy that restored their fatigue.
When the other elders of the other races went out of the meeting room, the Pope of the Church of Light changed faces to that of anger. She detests the elder dwarf and elder gnome for even accepting the remote response or thought to have the demons join their sides.
"To think that the weak races want the help of the demons. It seems that we must purge them after we have dealt with the dark god. Are there any breakthroughs in setting up the magic circle to banish the dark god?" Pope Pristina asked.
"There is not yet much, your Eminence. The demon is already severely weakened. He might die at this rate." The bishop answered.
"I do not care if he dies. Just give me results." Pope Pristina stated but the bishop has a complicated expression.
