Cloudhaven City.'
The people of Cloudhaven City were busy with their own lives.'
Some called out from street stalls, some worked inside their shops, and some moved along the roads. The whole city felt lively.
Then, without warning, the sky went dim.
The sunlight vanished behind a shadow, and a crushing pressure dropped over the whole city like a mountain hanging in the air.
In an instant, people across the city struggled to breathe, and something cold ran through them for no reason they could name.
One after another, they looked up at the sky.
The moment they saw it, every eye went wide.'
Faces drained. Mouths hung open. For a long stretch, not a single person managed to say a word.
High above them, dozens of giant dragons circled through the sky.'
Their bodies were enormous, and their golden scales caught the light through the breaks in the clouds, flashing so hard it stung the eyes.
The dragons kept letting out deafening roars, one after another.'
That dragon might rolled outward in waves, pressing down until the entire city trembled. Even the buildings on the ground shook faintly with it.
"Dragons... the Draconians?! It's the Draconians!"
Someone screamed the words out on the spot.'
His legs gave out, and he dropped to his knees, shaking all over, terror written plainly in his eyes.
The Draconians were the strongest race of the elder age.
According to legend, the Draconians were powerful enough to churn rivers and seas, summon wind and rain, and ordinary cultivators had no chance of standing against them.
And now so many giant dragons had appeared over Cloudhaven City. What that did to the people below hardly needed saying.
More people started shaking and ran for their homes.'
Doors slammed shut one after another, and no one dared come back outside, each of them afraid a dragon might strike them down.
They had no idea why these dragons had appeared over Cloudhaven City.'
They didn't know whether they had come to protect the city or destroy it.
The ones who had been stirring, waiting for a chance to seize control of Cloudhaven City, went completely blank when they saw this scene.
They stood where they were, dumbstruck, faces full of shock they couldn't hide.
No matter how they thought about it, they never could have imagined that so many giant dragons would appear above Cloudhaven City.
What was going on here?
While the whole city stood in that panic, unable to do anything...
A streak of gold dropped from the sky and landed firmly on the wall of Cloudhaven City like a falling star.
That figure wore a white robe.'
His sleeves moved in the wind, his features were sharp and handsome, and his expression stayed calm.
It was Jared.
Jared stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the entire city.
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a natural authority.'
It reached every ear in the city with perfect clarity, like he was speaking right beside each person, and at the same time like he was announcing something to the world:
"From today on, Cloudhaven City is under the control of the Sky Dragon Clan."
"If anyone refuses to accept that, step forward."
As soon as the words fell, the whole city went dead silent.
Not one person dared make a sound.
