Chapter 736: Some Of The Truths Of The World [Part 2]
An army of Humans, Beastkins, Elves, Dwarves, and the other races in the world were fighting against a middle-aged man, who was riding on the back of a Black Dragon.
The middle-aged man also had an army of his own, but instead of living creatures, his army was composed of countless Shadow Monsters and Gargoyles.
If not for the fact that he had first seen Joanne's Dream, he wouldn't have been able to recognize who the middle-aged man was.
"Hundreds of years ago before you were even born, there was an existence that terrorized the world," Fortis Dud said softly. "Back then, everyone thought that he was an evil being who was meant to be purged. Even I thought the same way."
Fortis Dud pointed to the left side of the Battlefield, where his younger self was fighting against a Giant Shadow Monster while riding on the back of his Golden Dragon.
"Many feared him not because of who he was, but because of what he could do," Fortis Dud added. "An existence whose power broke the balance of the world. That's the reason why everyone was fearful of him."
A mighty roar reverberated in the battlefield as Fortis Dud's Golden Dragon and the middle- aged man's Black Dragon simultaneously unleashed a Dragon Breath, which soon collided in the center of the battlefield...
Creating an explosion that blasted away everyone near the point of impact.
"Almost everyone fears the unknown," Fortis Dud stated. "Especially if that someone had the strength to conquer the world. Even if he didn't move, Monsters and other ambitious individuals rallied to his side.
"Various people conquered cities, pillaged villages, and razed towns under his name. And yet, he never ordered any of that. Those who wished to see the world burn were the ones who used his name to do evil deeds. Soon enough, those evil deeds accumulated until the world could no longer tolerate them.
"Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Beastkins, and even the Fae arranged a grand crusade. All of them rose up in arms and annihilated the Monster Armies who fought under his name.
"After subjugating those foul beasts, we marched to his stronghold, Caer Arianrhod. It is a fortress-like no other, and yet, only Shadow Monsters and Gargoyles lived in it. Back then, we heard rumors that there were four Clans who were supporting this man.
Ethan watched as his Grandfather charged at the biggest monster on the battlefield with a fearless grin on his face, holding a great sword the size of his entire body.
The young man witnessed how the Giant Monster used his flaming sword to slash at the Human who dared to face him.
But, that flaming sword was sliced in half, and a few seconds later, the monster's head was severed from his body.
The Gargoyles and the Shadow Monsters under Balthazar's command disengaged themselves from fighting the Allied Forces and concentrated their attacks on the invaders who had planned to conquer Midgard.
Nightwalkers, Balors, Nephilims, Jinns, and many others found themselves facing off against an individual who possessed great strength akin to that of a Demigod.
"It was the greatest war that was ever fought."
Fortis Dud's voice once again reached Ethan's ears, making him glance at the Founder of Brynhildr Academy, who was standing beside him.
"In hindsight, I think we were all deliberately gathered by the Demon Lord in that place so that we could fight that one great battle," Fortis Dud said. "If the greatest forces of Midgard hadn't been congregated in that one place, we wouldn't have stood a chance."
"This world might have already fallen into their hands.
"Our most hated and feared person became our strongest and staunchest ally. If not for him and the heroes who sacrificed their lives on that fateful day, this world would have already
fallen to ruin.
"This is one of the Truths that only those who were present that day witnessed firsthand. However, it was also one of the secrets that we all decided to keep. And this secret is now
known to you, Ethan."
Fortis Dud made a gesture for the young man to continue watching so that Ethan would understand what it was like to fight a battle that no one could afford to lose.
