The Secret and most Powerful True Dragon

chapter 3: Dealing with Veldanava sibling and meeting the demon lords

(Minutes before Rimuru and everything that happened)

Third-person POV:

The Eastern Empire, the most dominant nation in the land, boasted unparalleled military might, swiftly quelling any rebellions that dared to rise against it. At its helm was Rudra Nam Ul Nasca, revered as the hero of beginnings due to his status as the first chosen hero and disciple of Veldanava. The empire's alliance with Velgrynd, the scorch dragons, further bolstered its strength.

As the empire's officials, alongside Rudra, strategized their next move, contemplating which country to target first, a pivotal moment loomed on the horizon the impending demise of the storm dragon Veldora. Meanwhile, Velgrynd rested in her chambers, sleeping deeply.

Unaware of Veldora's newfound freedom and the emergence of a formidable force seeking to restore balance to the world, the Eastern Empire resolved to strike at the Blumund Kingdom upon Veldora's passing, believing the time to be imminent. Little did they know, the winds of change were already beginning to move.

Soon an aura bargin' into the officials' meeting with Rudra it brought them all to their knees only for Rudra the officials were on the floor they couldn't get up the aura that just bargain in felt like death came soon after the aura left some of the officials passed out or on the edge of passing out. Rudra quickly got up and yelled,

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!"

They swiftly responded, expressing their uncertainty about the individuals who hadn't succumbed to the overwhelming aura. Rudra stormed out of the room in a fit of anger, determined to locate Velgrynd and uncover the source of the disturbance.

Meanwhile, Velgrynd, the scorch dragon, remained deep in her slumber, unaffected by that devastating aura. Rudra burst into her chamber, only to find her peacefully asleep. His astonishment was palpable how could she remain undisturbed by such a powerful presence?

Without hesitation, Rudra began shaking Velgrynd, attempting to rouse her from her sleep. Slowly, Velgrynd moved, her eyes fluttering open as she gazed upon Rudra. In a groggy voice, she asked,

"What do you want, Rudra?"

While getting up from her bed, Rudra quickly said,

"I have been shaking you for the past few minutes, Velgrynd!"

"So what do you want."

Said Velgrynd, her voice sounding a little wake.

"How did that aura not infect you?!"

"What aura?" asked Velgrynd to Rudra.

Rudra's frustration grew with each passing moment, and he began to recount the events of the meeting with the officials to Velgrynd. Intrigued by Rudra's unusual agitation, Velgrynd listened intently. It was rare to see Rudra so affected, particularly by something as seemingly intangible as an aura.

As Rudra explained the unsettling occurrences in detail, Velgrynd's interest piqued further. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, she agreed to accompany Rudra to the meeting to delve deeper into the matter and discuss their next course of action.

For what seemed like an eternity, Rudra and Velgrynd delved into a discussion about the origin of the mysterious aura. Though only a short period had passed, it felt like hours to those present. Despite their efforts, the source remained unclear.

When questioned, Velgrynd claimed ignorance regarding the aura's origin, but a knowing glint in her eye suggested otherwise. She chose not to share the information she possessed, leaving the others in the dark.

As the meeting drew to a close, attendees dispersed, each retreating to their responsibilities and concerns. Alone in the room, Velgrynd remained, her thoughts veiled behind a shroud of secrecy.
