Chapter 42 - The Windbinder
…………
"You should know that the red dragon will not kill life."
A cool breeze quietly broke into the elemental magic circle, as if mocking the words of the Red Dragon Queen. Nathanos's eyes wandered, alerting whether there were other people around him. His eyes were obvious, Alextasa smiled and said, "I am alone too."
"I thought Christasa was here too, and she promised me that I would keep the secret of the Forgotten."
"Please don't blame her. I've only recently learned your identity." The Red Dragon Queen approached Nathanos, making herself look completely ill-intentioned. The Forgotten Leader also took back the power in her hands. "Thank you for saving me in Twilight Heights, and... that time in Grimbato many years ago."
"So you still remember." Nathanos was a little surprised. He couldn't help but want to provoke Alexandasa. "There is no need to thank you. In return, I have enjoyed your body."
The anger almost made Alextasa immediately turn back into the dragon form. The mortal who had been dead for many years in front of him was to blaspheme the dignity of the life-bound swearer. The Red Dragon Queen stared at Nathanos, and the other party's calm eyes seemed to realize that he was about to suffer a disaster.
Why did he look fearless? Has he not seen my power? Or... he wanted to anger me? Alextasa looked at Nathanos' eyes and kept looking, and then... her anger suddenly disappeared, leaving only the guilt and regret for the soul in front of him. The human being in the past was dead, and Alextasa realized that no matter how many great achievements Nathanos had and how many stories worthy of praise, when people learned what he had become, those illusory things would be broken.
The Swound-Bindinger of Life heard that he had a beautiful wife, whom she and their shared children helped the Dragon Clan a lot. However, the energetic elf boy did not know who his father was. His father could not meet him, and his mother chose to hide it. This shows how heavy the curse on Nathanos was.
Then came a silence. The energy flowed quietly in the elemental magic array without being noticed.
"The past is meaningless." The life-bound swearer tried hard to find comfort words, but said this.
"Yes, it's meaningless." Nathanos' tone was a little teasing. He was thinking about why the information on the Anblade was wrong. The most reasonable explanation was that the guardian dragons did a good job in keeping confidentiality, and even the allies around him were on guard.
"So, is there any insight that the noble Red Dragon Queen comes to my territory?"
The elemental magic array seemed not as calm as it seemed, and Nathanos had already felt it.
Alextasa was pleased that the Withered One could end the dispute between death and life. She stretched out her hand friendly and said, "I came here just to invite the Forgotten Ones to join the coalition forces against Deathwings. Together with the warriors of this world, stop the catastrophe."
"I refuse." Nathanos had almost no thought. His straightforward and determined tone left the Red Dragon Queen speechless. "The Forgotten One has been established until now and will not form an alliance with any force, regardless of whether we have a common goal or not. Also, what you call the 'warriors of this world' are also our enemies."
"The Alliance and the Horde are also enemies, and there are also members of the Ring of Earth and the Senario Conference. In times of crisis, they can all let go of their past grudges. Without absolute enemies, Nathanos. Everyone will accept yours."
The wrath and the Withered Eyes echoed each other, his eyes were like lava that was about to erupt, with an unstoppable force. "Will everyone accept us?" Nathanos stared at Alextasa hard. "Do you know what I have experienced?" He took a step forward towards the Queen of Red Dragon. "This sentence is the biggest lie I have ever heard. Those living people will only curse us to hell! They firmly believe that our decaying brains can't tell the difference between family and lover. Do you know why Nathanos Maris died? Do you know how Nathanos Wither was born? It was life that made me long ago and created a terrible enemy."
Alextasa listened to Nathanos' roar and felt his long-standing anger. This man praised by Christassa is not as powerful as Red Dragon said, and he may even be an enemy.
"I am sorry for your experience, but please do not implicate innocent lives."
"The Forgotten is not the Scourge." Nathanos emphasized, "but he is also decisive!" In the blink of an eye, Alextasa discovered that there was an extra bone bow in Nathanos's hand that was given dark power. The Red Dragon Queen thought he was going to attack him, but the target of the bow and arrow was a huge rock in the elemental magic circle.
The arrow penetrated the rock with amazing force, and then a painful scream rang out, and a figure fell down. It was an orc, dressed as a Twilight Hammer Assassin, and Alextsa realized that it was more than this one.
"You have caused me trouble." Nathanos turned his back to the Red Dragon Queen, but the other party had already seen it. The hand he had just shot was trembling slightly. Just as Alextasa wanted to ask, the earth suddenly became like waves, almost knocking both of them to the ground. A ridiculous sound came from around the elemental array. Alextasa and Nathanos looked up at the same time, and a female orc covered in elemental power slowly flew down on the floating disc. More Twilight Hammer minions rushed out of the shadow. What was surprising was that these people were no longer a life race, but elements, and cups were twisted into lilac earth elements.
When a shaman Nathanos confirmed the other party's identity, the earth shook again, even more intense than before. The withered man stabbed Salamani into the ground and was able to stand firm.
"Who are you?"
"Hagra, the Wind Binding."
"This is impossible..." The Red Dragon Queen widened her eyes, and the shock mixed in her tone made Nathanos' heart tighten. "You are the Deathwing's man!"
"Do you think you can really hide from the Destroyer, the sad big lizard. Your master knows everything."
