Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

The Dragon King had allowed Pablo and Malvador to enter the Crucible.

Otherwise, anyone who tried to enter it ended up dead.

The soldiers and even Pablo were surprised about why he was able to enter but now he knew the reason for that.

The Dragon King's ashes had allowed Pablo to enter because they had taken control of the Crucible in some sense and it sensed that Pablo had come in contact with the Being's killers. Who were none other than Gods.

Also, just like Pablo, Malvador was allowed inside too. And for the same reason as Pablo as well. El'Dorado sensed that the Vampire King had come into contact with his killers as well.

Pablo was already suspicious of Malvador of something but now he was sure of it. If the Dragon King said it, then it must be true.

So now Pablo had one more thing to worry about. Well, he had to worry about Malvador from the start as the Vampire was out for his blood from the start.

But right now, Pablo was gripped by tension as the Dragon King shared everything that happened to him.

The Dragon King was waiting for the Gods to come or anyone related to them in the Crucible. He sensed the Gods in Pablo, so he became a little more conscious and gained more passion to come out of the ground more than ever.

And when Pablo used those suns, the Dragon King completely became aware and gathered all his will to come out of the ground. He was sure of it now. His killers had come and to take his revenge, the Dragon's King spell worked and now he was present in the Crucible in front of everyone's eyes. He was dead right now but he was alive at the same time as well.

That Special Skill of Pablo was given to him by the God of Fire himself. By God Rameses. He was the same god who had burned the Dragon King by God Altor's orders. But the Dragon King couldn't give a fuck to the orders as for him, all the ten Gods were his killer and he would have his revenge no matter what.

Anyway, when Pablo used that Skill by God Rameses, the Dragon King sensed that it was the same fire that he had felt when he was dying. So he became more enraged and just after that, in that same rage, he had come out of the Crucible.

After surveying the area and ignoring the Demon King, the Dragon King found Malvador and Pablo as these two were the ones who had come into contact with his killers according to him at least. So the Dragon King believed that these could be the only ones who could use something like that. These two could be the only ones who could use the same fire that Rameses had.

So, El'Dorado wasted no time and asked the main question:

"Who summoned those suns?"

Pablo's throat went parched.

He was the one who summoned those suns but he didn't know what would happen if he answered. No, he knew what would happen if he answered, that's why he wasn't answering.

But Pablo couldn't say the same about Malvador as the Vampire King had no reason to lie. He could answer. He could give the correct answer and be done with it.

The Demon King and the other soldiers remained silent.

Pablo wondered why the Demon King was silent as he too wanted Pablo's death. If he took Pablo's name then the Dragon King would kill Pablo and the Demon King would be fine as someone else did his work for him.

And just like the Demon King, Malvador could also say Pablo's name and let him die.

Pablo didn't know about the Demon King but he couldn't understand why Malvador was silent, the Vampire king now had the perfect chance to make sure Pablo gets hurt and burned to death.

Nevertheless, out of Pablo's surprise there remained silence as no one took Pablo's name.

Pablo also felt a little like a coward as he was afraid to take his own name but he believed that staying alive was necessary and if no one was taking his name then he should be grateful of his luck and wait to see how things would play out.

"SPEAK!" The Dragon King roared.

He was still in the sky but Pablo and Malvador felt his hot breath as if they placed their faces above the pot in which water was being boiled.

They felt the Dragon King was right in front of them even when he wasn't.

But even after that roar, no one took Pablo's name and Pablo really liked the loyalty of his soldiers. He didn't know that his soldiers were that loyal to him. That they would even risk dying by the dragon king's hands or breath or tail.

Seeing no answer, the Dragon King felt the anger of a thousand years bubbling inside him and in that, he opened his mouth.

Pablo and the others saw blackness rising from the Being's throat and all of them remembered the faces of their loved ones.

Pablo raced his mind but then Draxus' shadow came beneath his legs. Draxus would save him if those black flames came out of the Dragon King. He would just make his Czar go inside his shadow and the flames won't do shit to him.

Pablo nodded and he really appreciated it as Draxus solely focused on Pablo's safety. He would really reward him with something after this War ends.

The Dragon opened his mouth wide and all the soldiers were ready to die.

Pablo darted his eyes at Malvador and the Vampire king was also ready to die. Pablo was really curious about the Vampire's intentions now as he was about to die and yet, not once did he tell the Dragon King that it was Pablo who summoned those thousand suns.

Pablo shook his head and waited for the inevitable.

The black flames reached the fangs of the Dragon king and he was just about to rain them on everyone when…

"You are one stupid dragon, you know that?"
