The mystery of the dracanae in this underground world had a shocking tale to it.

When the Mighty Sword God worked together with the Fallen to eliminate the dragon heretics, the sword strike wounded all dragons, and then the Fallen attacked, and the battle began.

Orgen Pendragon fought a valiant battle that day. He attacked one of Kyriachos's Saint warriors, and the battle ended in a pyrrhic victory for the Fallen. In that battle that was supposed to be food for the many Fallen Princes aiming to be a god, all were slain, and the mighty dragon they wanted to defeat fell into the Separate Realm.

Many other Heretics arrived and tried to aid the dragons, which officially started the Heretic Wars. Airom became a battleground, and the body of the saint-level dragon, Orgen Pendragon, was thought to be lost.

But the vitality of dragons was not to be underestimated.

In the many years since the Orgen Pendragon's soul fell into the Separated Real, his cells continued to grow. Aside from being a dragon, he was a Heretic cultivator that was close to Godhood.

The heart began to absorb the earth itself, and with the much bloodshed that day, soon, the heart gave birth to live. The earth that was tainted with blood formed strange and small creatures.

And as thousands of years passed, more of these creatures began to be born from that heart.

After five thousand years, the first sentient life form was born. And soon, more came to be.

The creatures that were born somehow managed to 'remember' countless things about life. They learned to speak a language naturally. They learned of many desires even though they hadn't experienced them. They sought a clear sky. They sought to grow wings and conquer. And they knew that they were among the most powerful beings in this world.

With these memories came identity and personalities. These creatures began to attack and devour each other. And as each began to devour, five powerful creatures dominated the region. More and more creatures were born, but these living creatures no longer grew strong, and no matter how much the five tried to devour, they couldn't gain any more strength than what they already had.

The five also tried to attack the heart, but as they did, they felt terrifying darkness that was severing their minds and thoughts. And the group never approached it again.

And so, the five of them sought means to gain more strength to fight the rest and have the chance to devour them. They clashed and clashed but always would end up being unable to devour each other. No schemes could be hatched among each other, for everyone had a vague idea of what the other dracanae was thinking.

It was then that they soon realized that they were connected to the minor lifeforms. Furthermore, they soon realized that they were all connected and were body parts of the heart.

The battle changed as the group was now fighting to become the main controller of the body. Each group managed to control a growing number of creatures, and everyone focused on strengthening it. Unlike them, these creatures became the mindless dracanae ghouls.

Attempts to move out of the region also failed as a strange carapace-like region covered them, which even their strength could not break.

But suddenly, a strange thing occurred. A powerful force began to drain the energy within the mountain. It was as if something was leeching off the entire region. The dracanae's felt a strange, fearful premonition, and soon, a being appeared in their dreams.

A beautiful woman charged them to break out of the region so that they could aid her. She revealed mysterious things, including Destiny and Fate, and urged them that their battle would soon happen.

She told of a being that would arise, a Nephilim which would be a terror to them. To prove her words, she told them that the barrier that sealed them in that region would soon give way. She revealed that it was the dragon's hide and that they were inside the corpse of a gigantic dragon.

The power of the strange carapace slowly degraded, and they managed to break out of the place they were in and explored the underground territory. Destiny was aiding them as earthquakes occurred until they were so close to the surface.

There were so many mysteries yet. But the one thing they guarded was the heart which they learned to be the source of everything.

And this heart not only vanished, but the owner, Orgen Pendragon, has returned!

A dracanae had died before their eyes. And several more also went alongside them.

There was hope for Martha.

The appearance of Orgen Pendragon revealed his dragonic soul, which caused the cells of the dracanae to tremble.

With this, they could find their way out.

The three Hs were also waiting for any command. Martha was able to give them specific orders.

The orders were made ready. They would secure a way out and attack the top of a certain area to cause it to fall. The explosion that occurred weakened the tunnel they were in. Martha had learned of the bombs that Myas made. She was aware of its power. And with that, Martha prepared the attack.

Myas had skill in shooting. The vials had a small hole that was normally used to hang the vial on a rack. But Myas could shoot through these small holes and send the vial to explode on certain parts accurately.

Martha laid out the possible places where the rocks could fall.

"Is this believable?

" Martha asked Dorothy.

"Yes. I think I understand what happened here. These things are my cells!

" Dorothy smiled.

"Your cells?

"

"I'll explain later!

" Dorothy answered.

"If you do not comply, I will send the dracanae ghouls that I can control to fight you! Obey them! Your life is linked to mine!

" Dorothy threatened the dracanae once more.

Four of the dracanae started to give way to Martha as they moved back slowly.

One stayed on their ground.

"You wish to rebel?

" Orgen's words echoed once more.

"All my life, I wanted to be free from this dark world! I wanted to go out! That woman told us that we are but your body parts. We are cells that found life! But I want to break free! Now that you appeared can I really be truly free?! Bound in darkness, bound to that woman and Destiny, and now bound to you! Death will be my only freedom! So I'll risk it! Is it possible for me to be free if you die?!

" The dracanae laughed, and he began to move towards Martha.

"Kill me if you can!

" The dracanae began to take a step forward. He was afraid, but he wanted to release.

He took a step forward and challenged his Fate.

And at that moment, the bravery of this dracanae awakened the power of Destiny. Destiny Challenger started to work.

The darkness of Destiny that coursed around the dracanae sent a simple whisper. And one of the dracanae heard it.

"Do not force me! I don't want to waste energy to kill you! But I won't hesitate if you push me to my death! Obey me cell! You are me!

"

"That's it! He can't!

" The dracanae suddenly shouted.

"I cannot feel your emotions! I cannot sense your thoughts!

" The dracanae pointed to his brothers and was becoming more and more happier.

"All that I can sense are the dracanae ghouls that I control! We are free, brothers! We are no longer connected to each other in thoughts! That heart was sealed, and his control over us also disappeared! He is lying! He can't kill us!

"

Martha was shocked. Their ploy had been revealed. Her wounds haven't even healed half of what she has to be capable of moving!
