Chapter 676: Unexpected [Bonus]
Ankaara’s jaws were hanging when Kent introduced himself as the Chaos Dragon… He didn’t want to say anything at first, but knowing Ankaara knew something about his first Incarnation made him compromise.
Who would have thought he would learn he was a dignified person?
…That sounded funny considering the memories Kent had of himself as the Chaos Dragon, which doesn’t portray him as a dignified person. If anything, he should be called a blood demon instead.
All that bastard did was talk about who he had killed and who he would be killing next. Such a lifestyle shouldn’t be dignified at all.
But that was just Kent’s opinion of himself, after recalling just a small piece of his memory — it was even one of the reasons why he wanted to answer Ankaara’s questions.
Unlike Valtor, who only had rumors after the Faceless Assassin, Ankaara actually knew something, so he sought outside opinions on how people perceived him. It turned out he was an existence more unusual than he expected.
“No need to look shocked… I was once the Chaos Dragon… But I am Kent now, so relax a bit,” Kent smiled, looking at the Ice Elemental lady’s shocked expression.
“The Chaos Dragon, huh… I know of a Chaos Dragon… I learned that he was the most fearless person who had ever lived. Some even say he was the only person to ever walk through a doom gate and enter the unknown universe, kill to his heart’s content, and come back… unscathed.”
Skoggr paused, then a frown appeared on his face. “How did I know that?” he asked, looking at Kent and his friends.
Naturally, Kent also wore a look of puzzlement. What had just happened? “Did you just get a piece of your memory back?” Kent asked, and Skoggr moved through his memories, only for his eyes to widen.
“I think so. I never heard of the Chaos Dragon… but after you revealed your identity, I seem to recall something.”
Kent looked at the rest of his legion. “Any new memories?” They all started looking through their memories… A few minutes later, Zharkaz, the dragon general, widened his eyes.
“I have new memories too,” he said, looking both shocked and happy.
“Me too,” Kazarak also said.
“I also have new memories,” Vorthar, the demon lord, added.
Kent smiled slightly, watching their happy expressions. Though not all of them had regained anything yet, Kent knew it was only a matter of time before they began to recover more of their memories.
Just knowing his true identity had already triggered more memories than what happened after he told them more about his past lives.
‘That will certainly trigger more memories, but it is also dangerous. It is not everything I can say… else I might end up destroying them instead of helping them.’
But he was happy for them. However, he will be holding back on revealing his numerous identities for now.
“Zharkaz, what new memories do you have?” Kent asked, looking at the dragon general.
It wasn’t too shocking that someone like Zharkaz would know about a once legendary dragon who lived and made a name for himself.
After all, the Chaos Dragon was also a dragon, and dragons are known to preserve their lineage. Since they like to brag, knowing their ancestors is also beneficial to them.
“The new memories are of me listening to a history of dragons from one of my ancestors. It turns out that during the Primordial Era, the Chaos Dragon was known for its impartiality.
He didn’t discriminate, and aside from being the strongest, he also protected the weak from immortals and gods. He said the Chaos Dragon even preferred to wear his human skin most of the time, since he liked humans more than us dragons.
But can you blame him? I mean, we dragons don’t have a track record for being the most polite, so his decision to live among humans sounds right to me.
Actually, he is my idol of some kind,” Zharkaz ended his sentence with an embarrassed expression.
However, he was happy that his idol was now his master… even if he was but a core formation expert at the moment.
Kent looked at him and smiled. ‘I know that bastard chose the humans because of the human friend he made… what was her name again… Elina.’
Kent smiled weakly. He knew, even without recalling more of his Chaos memories, that unless Elina made the move, Chaos would never know she had feelings for him.
The Chaos Dragon was indeed known for his strength, but when it came to matters of the heart, he was not too bright.
After reviewing the two pieces of his memories, he saw that most of the ladies in Lumen were interested in Chaos, but he had no idea.
He took their blushing expressions as a sign of fear—fear of him—so he stayed away. And since his presence wasn’t exactly calming, the ladies all decided to admire him from a distance.
Kent just smiled and then turned to the Beast Warden…
“What about you, Kazarak?” Kent asked…
“Mine is a little embarrassing, but I was after a skill created by the Chaos Dragon. A few friends and I ventured into an ancient ruin that appeared all of a sudden…
We entered because, according to those who managed to survive, it is claimed it was from the Primordial Era, and that in a certain dangerous section of this ancient ruin, there was a temple built by the Chaos Dragon that offers skills if you manage to pass a test in the Chaos Temple.
We were eager to enter this temple until we discovered its uniqueness.
It turns out that not even immortals manage to pass the tests, and the shocking part is that the temple was created when the Chaos Dragon wasn’t even an immortal.
I chickened out, so I didn’t even enter the temple. My friends who entered never came out.”
Kent shook his head. “Sorry for your loss.”
“No, it’s fine. This is the path of cultivation, so such things are bound to happen. Only the strong survive… I guess.”
“Still, sorry… And don’t worry, when I start recalling some skills, I will compensate you for your loss.” Kazarak smiled, causing Zharkaz to also ask for some.
“I will, but for now, let’s hear what Vorthar has to say.”
The demon lord smiled slightly when everyone turned toward him. “I guess I can’t hide it, huh… I think the Chaos Dragon was the reason why I died… well, a piece of his scale was.”
Not even a single sound was made when Vorthar spoke. They all clearly heard what he had just said, and that alone made them smile weakly… especially Kent, who could see that Vorthar was also smiling.
“It turns out the Chaos Dragon was and still is someone who is loved by all… everything about him is valuable, down to a piece of his scale.”
