The First Dragon God-Chapter 73: A Monstrosity

On the rooftop of a one of the high-rise buildings in the residential buildings complex, Tatiana and Elda, stood watching everything that happened from the beginning through to the end.

"That was some unexpected turns of events. I didn’t expect things to end this way. Also, she was really brutal, wasn’t she? Turning him into a zombie was something I never expected to happen," Elda said with an amused smile on her face.

Tatiana chuckled lightly and shook her head at Elda’s words.

"It wasn’t really unexpected. People like him are naturally born cowards," she said, with her gaze on Ryan now turned zombie, who was lying on the floor, in his own blood.

Her gaze drifted to Leo who was sitting on the floor with a distant look on his face, then to Ves who has the same look on her face.

"But I’m quite surprised and impressed. I never expected her to take burden on herself. I’m actually to know why she turned him. Did she feel that death would be an easy way out for him or what?" Tatiana said with an amused smile, and a curious look on her face.

"My questions are the same as yours, princess," Elda said with a smile.

"But that proves that I’m right, Elda. It means that I can invest in her and have nothing to worry about," Tatiana said, as a small smile played on her lips.

"Princess, are you really planning on going ahead with that? You do understand just how dangerous what you’re talking about is?" Elda asked, as worry creases her face.

"Yes. But as you can see from what happened today. She’s someone who will always stay by Leo’s side. Same with Leo. There’s no way the two of them will be able to leave each other side.

If that is so, then it is only right that we help her get stronger. This is even more beneficial for us. If she’s weak, she will only drag Leo down but when she’s strong, she can be on of great assistance to him," Tatiana said, explaining her thoughts to Elda

Though, it felt like she was explaining it to herself.

Elda sighed when she heard Tatiana’s explanation. She knew that she was right but the danger involved is something she’s not willing to allow her take.

"Princess, what if that person asks for something that you can’t give in return? You know that making a deal with an entity like that is something extremely dangerous," Elda asked with her worries increasing.

"Whatever he asks for, I would give. As long as I win the tournament, everything will be worth it. Even if it means taking the risk and putting my life in danger," Tatiana said, with the smile still on her face.

Elda sighed tiredly when she heard Tatiana’s words. She knew that there was no way she was going to be able to change Tatiana’s mind. The only option was to go with her plans and see where it leads them.

"You’re really going to be the death of me. I don’t even want to think of what these Blood Emperor would do to me and everyone involved if something is to happen to you," she muttered to herself tiredly, but her voice was loud enough for Tatiana to hear.

"We just have to be careful so he doesn’t find out." Tatiana chuckled, causing Elda to sigh once again.

"Mmmm... It seems like there will be some action soon," Tatiana said, as she gazed into the horizon.

Leo and Ves were seated on the floor, looking at Ryan’s bloody body on the floor.

"Is he still alive?" Leo asked curiously.

"Yes," Ves replied.

A peculiar expression enveloped Leo’s fave when he heard Ves’ response.

"Do you plan on keeping him like this?" He asked, and he saw Ves nod in response.

Leo didn’t know what to say or feel when he saw her nod. Yes, Ryan was his enemy but his current situation as a zombie is something he would never wish on his worst enemy.

A lot of emotions and thoughts were crashing around in his head, and heart. He turned to look at Ves and when he saw the expression on her face, he looked away.

He wanted to tell her to release him but when he saw how angry she looked, he knew that it wasn’t the best to say at the moment.

"Can you control him?" He asked curiously, and he saw Ves nod in response.

"When I bit him, I got a skill and title related to controlling zombies. I can’t learn skills naturally like you and it seems that this is the only way for me to gain one. With the skill, controlling is easy. It’s also the reason why he isn’t attacking you right now," Ves said.

"I see...." Leo nodded slowly, as he looked at zombie Ryan, who was snarling silently on the floor.

Leo was conflicted about keeping Ryan in his current condition. It wasn’t just about his morals but the danger and the troubles that it might bring in the future.

But after hearing about the skill, he didn’t know what to think anymore. He wants her to keep growing stronger but....

’I guess this is what he meant by making hard decisions,’ he thought to himself, as he continued looking at the zombie Ryan.

"What about others? Seeing Ryan like this might put them off or scare them. I’m not talking about Grewishka’s group, I don’t care about them. I’m talking about the man and the girl," Leo said, as his gaze drifted towards the distance.

"I will explain everything to them," Ves replied, with her gaze also drifting into the distance.

"You’re going to tell them about...?" Leo asked in surprise, and sighed when he saw Ves slowly nodding in response.

The two of them were still deep in thought when they felt the ground under them vibrate intensely.

They glanced at each other in confusion.

The vibrations grew stronger, a rhythmic pounding that reverberated through the ground like the footsteps of a giant.

Then they felt it again—a deep, earth-shaking rumble.

They stood up, scanning their surroundings. At first, they saw nothing.

But then… the sun dimmed.

A massive shadow fell over the city, blotting out the light. The air grew cold and heavy, and a low growl rumbled across the horizon.

Leo’s eyes widened in shock as he turned toward the source of the shadow.

A monstrous figure loomed in the distance, towering over the buildings. Its scaly skin glistened in the sunlight, a dark, obsidian black that seemed to absorb the light around it. Its spiked back jutted out in jagged ridges, and its massive tail swung lazily behind it, smashing through buildings with ease.

The creature’s eyes glowed with a sinister red light, filled with malice and primal rage.

Leo’s heart pounded in his chest as he took in the sheer size of the beast. It stood at sixty-nine feet tall, its massive claws digging into the earth with each step, causing **the ground to quake.

"What in the world is that thing?" Leo whispered, his voice trembling with a mix of awe and terror.

Before Ves could respond, the monster let out a deafening roar.

The sound was like thunder, shaking the very foundations of the buildings. Windows shattered, and the ground cracked and splintered beneath their feet, sending cracks spiderwebbing outward.

Ves clutched her head, wincing as the roar sent a splitting pain through her skull.

Leo gritted his teeth, forcing himself to remain standing as the monstrous creature’s gaze locked onto them.
