RISE OF EROS-Chapter 687 - 686
It’s not that Kael, Draneg, and the other demigods didn’t feel affection for their family, apprentices, and subordinates, but they weren’t so attached as to give up their chance to ascend as gods for them, like Zaros, Elidyr, and even Lugia.
They were about to tell him what they knew about the situation that had occurred in the seas since they had received information from Zaros, so they wouldn’t be so mean as to not tell him, because, in the end, he would find out later.
However, at that moment Elidyr arrived at the place. Like the others, seeing the city, he felt sad, but the reason was different. If the other demigods were sad to arrive late and lose the opportunity to gain favorable points from Andrew, Elidyr felt sad because he understood Zaros’ pain.
He also had affection for his loved ones and what he had managed to build in the country of Rios, so seeing the devastation of the place saddened him because that could happen to him. Everyone noticed his arrival and Elidyr didn’t make them wait, so he quickly joined them. The moment he arrived, Elidyr immediately looked at Zaros and said, "I’m sorry I couldn’t support you, brother."
Although Kael, Draneg, and the other demigods believed that Elidyr was speaking empty words like them, Zaros, Lugia, and Biacko, noticed the difference. Elidyr’s words were sincere.
Biacko who was observing everything carefully, immediately felt that Elidyr was someone worth being friends with. Zaros placed his hand on Elidyr’s shoulder and smiled affectionately answering, "I understand your difficulties."
After the brief affectionate exchange, Zaros recounted what had happened and when he finished, Elidyr said, "It is regrettable, but I still bring good news. Young Andrew and the others are safe from Dunnas under the protection of Emaliene."
Elidyr’s words surprised everyone and they quickly began to ask for details. Their surprise was not abnormal, since Dunnas was not around and they could not imagine how they had come so far in such a short time, especially when they were attacked by someone as strong as the leader of Purgatory.
Elidyr did not know all the details, since Andrew did not reveal his secret of being able to teleport between his temples, but he explained what he could. Although there were still many doubts and questions, Elidyr could not tell them anything else.
"We should go to Dunnas. Emaliene is strong, but she will not withstand an attack like this," Draneg immediately said, who was the most urgent to win points with Andrew, since the last meeting had not ended well.
Although Kael and the others agreed, they did not say anything, since that would show their selfish intentions and they let Draneg be the only one who exposed himself, but his thoughts were not hidden from Biacko and the others.
They hadn’t gotten to where they were just by increasing their powers, they had experience and knew how to read people, so they could tell their intentions, which caused them to feel contempt for them.
Lyria who could also tell that they had been exposed decided to change course, trying to change the perception and said, "Before that, we must tell them what happened in the seas."
She paused and added, "It’s true that Emaliene couldn’t withstand an attack like this, but for now they should be fine. No one knows that they are in Dunnas and if they could escape from Cannes, they can surely do so from Dunnas."
Her words were true and while this could make many believe that Lyria was different from the others, Biacko and the others weren’t stupid. They could easily see through her, but they didn’t say anything.
They indeed despised them, for their selfish thoughts, but they couldn’t deny that it was necessary to keep up appearances, because it was better to have them as allies than as enemies, especially now that Purgatory had shown its head.
Kael, Draneg, and the others noticed Lyria’s attempt to divert the conversation and quickly agreed and began to tell what they knew. They told how the sea had become chaotic and there were disasters and wars everywhere.
They also reported that someone had left clues for them about what was happening there, but they still didn’t know who had left them. They talked about these matters for a while, but in the end, they didn’t come to a conclusion.

In the end, Kael, Draneg, and the other demigods agreed to go to Dunnas to see and protect Andrew. At least that was the excuse, they really just wanted to show their good side for profit.
Biacko also decided to go, since Crhono had asked him to come to protect Andrew. Although he felt sad about not helping Zaros rebuild, he understood the priorities. Lugia also decided to accompany him, since that was also his mission, but Zaros and Elidyr didn’t follow them. Zaros had to be present, to help rebuild his territory.
It wasn’t that he was going to do it personally, but his presence was essential to speed things up and ease everyone’s broken hearts. For his part, Elidyr couldn’t stray too far from his territory, for fear that he would suffer just like Cannes.
With that settled, the group of dragons led by Biacko and Lugia left alongside the group of demigods led by Kael, Lyria, Draneg, Asha, and Theron. Such a powerful lineup couldn’t be kept hidden, so their movements were clearly visible to many.
Long before they arrived, Emaliene already knew of their upcoming arrival, so she quickly arranged everything to welcome them. Emaliene might be a legend-level demigod and the founder of the Dunnas Kingdom, but compared to Biacko, Lugia, Kael, and the others, she was inferior.

Still, they wouldn’t dare disrespect her, for this was still her territory and although weaker, she wouldn’t show complacency if she was offended. Meanwhile, the kingdoms near Tripia received Dustas’ letter.
Many deliberated whether they should lend aid, but were slow. Purgatory obviously learned of Dustas’ treacherous moves and immediately settled accounts with him.
To be more exact, the green-clad leader of Purgatory, who is Dustas’ master, was the one who took action. With great effort, he entered Tripia and massacred Dustas and all of his confidants and protectors.
Although Dustas knew he couldn’t hide for long, he believed his plan would work. He thought the other kingdoms would help him and with the security measures he had taken he could hold out until help arrived, but he was wrong.
He underestimated the strength of the leader of Purgatory whom he called "Master." He alone was enough to eliminate them all and then the Tripia kingdom fell into despair.
When Dustas took power, he eliminated his father and brother, so there was no one to succeed him on the throne, since he still had no children, so with his murder, civil war broke out.
The nobles and powerful of the country embarked on a fight for supremacy and then Tripia fell into disgrace. Everyone was shocked by the news, especially the rulers of nearby countries.
If Tripia fell in this way, what prevented the same thing from happening to them? With that thought, everyone took protective measures and the atmosphere of the continent became tense again, and that was even though the explosive news of Carcom’s attack on the dragons was still unknown.
