Reborn as A Snake! (3.) [ONGOING]

(22). - The Trial.

        Everyone kept looking around in an absolute state of admiration. The Holy Capital was even more astonishing and beautiful in person than the tales and legends surrounding it — The Architecture, the tranquility amongst the different types of individuals here.... Everything just screamed 'A Sacred Ground'.

"So many different races..."

Dedela noted as all of them moved through the street, her eyes darting from one person to another. There were dwarves, humans, elves, half-elves, lizardmen, beastkin, dracomen and even a couple of demonoids moving through the city streets.

It was an incredible sight, especially when compared to other cities such as Licua and Yiinao, where, while such tranquility and 'diversity' was still present, it wasn't to such an extent.

"This place sure has changed a lot since I was last in the physical world. I remember it being but an empty field where High Lord Aenergin would call his home."

Virdus commented, looking around and examining the surrounding area. Neola looked at Virdus with a confused gaze.

"You mean when you last were in this world, the capital didn't exist yet?"

"Sir Virdus has mentioned that he was last here in this world around nine thousand years ago. The Holy Night order, and by extension, the Holy Capital was established by Aenergin at the time of Arabors sealing by the deities, which happened only three and a half thousand years ago."

Avid answered Neolas question, with the woman looking over to him with a more understanding gaze, while Virdus looked quite impressed by his knowledge, only to turn confused.

"Wait, Lord Arabor was sealed? By who and why?"

Virdus asked.
Avid threw his gaze over at Virdus.

"Around three and a half thousand years ago, the Primal Dragon of Abyss suddenly fell into a deep state of corruption due to some interference with the primordial element of Abyss. He started rampaging across the world, destroying it, before the Deities blessed a group of adventurers with a special sealing spell, that they cast upon Arabor in order to stop his rampage."

Avid explained before looking away and back to the front of him.

"Ever since then, anyone with a strong connection to the Abyss was at the risk of being corrupted by it, due to the Abyss' unstable state."

He finished, with Virdus looking a bit confused but also almost angry at the same time. How could one of the Great Creators of this world fall to corruption? That wasn't something that just happened out of nowhere.

As well as the fact that the Abyss had been tampered with... It feels like that whole thing that Avid had just explained was a set up created by someone who must have held a grudge against the Primal Dragons or something. Only question, who?

This worlds creatures greatly respected the Dragons and would never dare to try and bring harm to them...

....But not every inhabitant was from this world. As Virdus connected the dots, an ominous and powerful aura engulfed him, as he let out a chuckle.

"I see... Those bastards think they're so very clever, don't they? Hahah..."

Virdus commented to himself quietly, with the group looking at him nervous as stares from people around began to fall upon them — or rather — upon Virdus.

Neola panicked a bit, as she grabbed Virdus' arm and dragged him forward a bit, with a cold sweat across her face.

"Haha! Anyways... How about we check out the Capital? I'm sure there is a lot for us to see!"
