Unbeknownst to them, Ma Wen and Butterfly's surroundings had already been enveloped by a dense fog.
This thin layer of mist enveloped them. It was not threatening at all. Instead, it was very comfortable.
But in that instant, Ma Wen's scalp went numb.
Another dragon!
However, what appeared in front of him this time was an elegant and noble Silver Dragon.
Unlike the evil Pentashade Dragons, Metal Dragons were mostly kind, and Silver Dragons were the perfect example.
They lived in the cold mountains and liked to control the clouds. They would not easily hurt people.
The Silver Dragon's beautiful eyes stared at Ma Wen. "I've heard of you, little guy.
"You have a weapon that can pose a great threat to the dragons, but it's clearly not enough against five cunning Primordial Dragons.
"Let's get out of here while my fog confuses their vision."
Before Ma Wen could speak, Butterfly widened her eyes and asked curiously.
"Are you a Silver Dragon?"
The Silver Dragon replied gently, "Of course."
"I heard that you Metal Dragons and Pentashade Dragons are natural enemies. Are you here for them? "Butterfly continued to ask.
The Silver Dragon nodded.
Ma Wen didn't even need to count the scales to guess that this was an Primordial Silver Dragon!
The logging forest was quite lively today. There was a gathering of Primordial Dragons.
Usually, these powerful creatures would hibernate in their own residences.
But today, they were all gathered at the edge of this small ruin.
With the Pentashade Dragons gathered, a Silver Dragon was definitely not their match.
Ma Wen thought quickly. "You have other friends, right?"
"That's right."
A familiar voice sounded in the thick mist. A few figures walked over side by side.
"I didn't expect to see you here."
A man in crimson armor smiled at Ma Wen.
"Professor?!"
Ma Wen asked tentatively.
The latter nodded.
As expected, not only were the Pentashade Dragons here, but many Metal Dragons were also here.
These people in front of him were probably Metal Dragons who had used advanced transfiguration spells to transform into humans to make themselves smaller.
Ma Wen counted. Other than the Silver Dragon, who was still in its original state, there were already three Metal Dragons, including the Professor.
According to the color of their clothes, it was not difficult to determine that they were a Copper Dragon, a Brass Dragon, and a Gold Dragon.
"Right now, they are almost no different from ordinary humans."
"This is at least a level-7 transformation spell … As expected, all of them are Primordial Dragons?"
Ma Wen smiled bitterly in his heart.
Four Immemorial Metal-Type Dragons and five Immemorial Five-Colored Dragons.
For these people to gather here, it was definitely not a simple trip.
Could it be that the [Fury of the Dragon God] had been activated in advance?
Ma Wen did not deny this possibility.
Because of his arrival, the world had changed too much.
Since Saruha, Secret Garden, and other dungeons had appeared in advance, it wasn't impossible for the Dragon God's Fury expansion pack to be brought forward.
But this time, he wasn't confident.
Previously, he had familiar game experience as a foundation, but when he was in the [Secret Garden], he was already a little out of his depth.
If he hadn't happened to meet his grandfather, he would probably have failed at the spatial rift.
And he knew nothing about the Fury of the Dragon God.
Once he lost the ability of foresight, Ma Wen would be no different from the others.
Unfortunately, he was afraid that he would lose this ability for the rest of the time.
After all, times had changed.
Ma Wen took a deep breath. Fortunately, he had already mentally prepared himself for this.
He asked in a deep voice:
"What's going on?"
The Copper Dragon glanced at the others, then looked at the five figures at the edge of the Five-Colored Altar and said:
"We have to talk somewhere else."
…
North of the ruins, in a hidden cave.
The azure dragon's eye floated in the air, illuminating the world in the ruins.
Under the introduction of the Professor, Ma Wen also met the other three powerful Metal Dragons.
Silver Dragon Stein, Gold Dragon Modiko, and Brass Dragon Cromwell.
These three, like the Professor, were all ancient Primordial Dragons. They were powerful and would never appear in the eyes of ordinary people.
"It seems that your joint appearance here has something to do with the Dragon God of the Five-Colored Dragons?"
Ma Wen asked curiously as he looked at the scene that appeared in the dragon's eye — the Five-Colored Dragons who had transformed into humans seemed to be discussing something.
Since he was already here, he might as well listen to what would happen here.
As for Butterfly, she was seriously begging the Silver Dragon for a piece of scale — the reason being that it looked good. Silver Dragon Stein didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Dragon scales were very precious items for the Dragon Race, and it was absolutely impossible to give it away; but Butterfly's clear eyes and pitiful request made him a little reluctant to refuse.
Ma Wen couldn't be bothered with this Wood Elf. He couldn't do anything about it anyway.
The Professor mused, "Since you came here to track down the Green Dragon Modanna and stumbled upon this matter, I won't hide it from you.
"Actually, the essence of the matter is very simple. The Five-Colored Dragons wanted to take advantage of the chaos to open the [Nightmare Realm], and we predicted this and wanted to stop it.
"But when we were organizing our men, we ran into a little problem here …"
…
From the Professor's narration, Ma Wen more or less understood the ins and outs of the matter.
In the previous game, the Dragon God's Fury was an expansion pack that was released many years after the Cataclysm.
The key was in [Hutson's Temple].
Hutson used to be the Five-Colored Dragon God, and also the representative of evil gods.
In ancient times, he lived in the logging forest and ruled his own kingdom.
At that time, the Five-Colored Dragons had not yet split. They gathered under Hutson's command and worshipped him as a god.
At that time, the Five-Colored Dragons were far from their current abilities. They were very weak, and basically only knew how to fly and spit dragon breath. Moreover, they had low intelligence, and the threat they posed was no different from the wyverns of today.
The Evil Dragon God Hutson gave the Five-Colored Dragons wisdom and magic. At the same time, he gave them different characteristics according to their species.
Thus, the Five-Colored Dragons were divided into factions.
Hutson's original intention was to let his people develop on their own, but in the end, there was a split. After obtaining great power, they began to fight among themselves and fight for territory.
Some of the Five-Colored Dragons felt very uncomfortable with the forest environment because of the characteristics Hutson gave them. For example, the Blue Dragons loved to live in the desert.
They began to protest.
Faced with these headaches, the Dragon God Hutson opened a demiplane in the logging forest.
He created various environments in the demiplane. There were deserts suitable for the Blue Dragons, mountains suitable for the Red Dragons, and swamps suitable for the Black Dragons.
This world was big enough that they did not need to fight each other for territory.
Perhaps Hutson's intention was to calm his people down for a while.
It was said that he had an agreement with the God of Sorcerers, Lance. If too many Five-Colored Dragons appeared in Fernand, then Lance would take action to control these chaotic and evil creatures.
In short, after the demiplane was formed, Hutson stuffed all his people into it.
He originally thought that there would be no more disputes.
However, he miscalculated.
The original name of this demiplane was no longer known. Now, it was called [Nightmare Realm] by the Five-Colored Dragons.
The reason why it was called Nightmare Realm was that the original Five-Colored Dragons were very dissatisfied with this demiplane. They felt that they were imprisoned.
After obtaining great power and cunning wisdom, many of the Chromatic Dragons used all sorts of methods to leave the Nightmare Realm while Hutson was in deep sleep.
The most exaggerated among them was the Black Dragons.
After a great defeat in a war against the Red Dragons, they became angry out of humiliation.
They were angry that the stingy Hutson did not give them magic abilities. At the same time, their reproduction rate was so low that it was infuriating. Therefore, after the defeat, the entire Black Dragon Clan defected and escaped from the Nightmare Realm.
This was a great upheaval and reshuffling.
The Red Dragons became the masters of the Nightmare Realm. They wantonly celebrated, and Hutson, who was asleep, was awakened.
Seeing the chaos in the Nightmare Realm, Hutson was completely enraged.
He banished all the Five-Colored Dragons from the Nightmare Realm and closed it.
He confiscated some of the abilities of the Five-Colored Dragons and set the logging forest as a forbidden area for the other four Five-Colored Dragons. Only the Green Dragons, who had always been quiet, were left. He gave the key to open the Nightmare Realm to the leader of the Green Dragon Clan and left a prophecy.
This prophecy was said to be related to the return of the Five-Colored Dragons to the Nightmare Realm.
Even the professor was not sure about the specifics.
All in all, after all this, the Five-Colored Dragons began to act recklessly on the continent.
During that time, countless mortals, elves, dwarves, and other creatures died.
Their cities were conquered, and their wealth was plundered.
The Five-Colored Dragons enjoyed their last glory.
In fact, it was during this time that Fernand's famous Three-Piece Dragonslayer Set was forged.
What happened next was within Hutson's expectations. The God of Sorcerers, who had been warned long ago, acted without mercy.
He slaughtered about 70% of the Five-Colored Dragons and scared most of them back to their lairs.
At this time, they began to miss the beauty of the Nightmare Realm.
However, the Nightmare Realm was closed.
Not long after, the Dragon God Hutson fell due to some special reasons.
His temple turned into ruins. He buried himself under the temple and was guarded by a loyal guard.
The guard's name was Tidomas.
Many years passed.
The Great Cataclysm came, and the Black Dragons were almost wiped out by Ma Wen. The Five-Colored Dragons suddenly realized that this was the best opportunity.
Because the prophecy happened one after another. It was time to open the Nightmare Realm!
It was also time to take back the power that Hutson had taken from them.
