Era of Pet Beasts: Picking Up a Dark Demon Dragon Egg Right off the Bat

Chapter 38: The Destruction of the Dragon Race

But why would such a powerful race disappear from the Vartas continent?

At the same time, a doubt arose in Matthew’s mind, prompting him to open the second page of”Dragon Race History”.

When Vartas Continent was formed, Dragon Race was already there. They were the firstborns of heaven and earth…

The second page described the origins of the dragon race.

However, as it happened too long ago, the records were not detailed.

Matthew soon finished reading the contents of the second page.

At this moment, Heber was already attracted by the content of “Dragon Race History”. It laid on Matthew’s shoulder and read with great interest.

When Matthew was about to flip to the third page, it grumbled a few times, indicating that it had not finished reading.

Matthew had no choice but to stop and wait for Heber to finish reading before opening the third page of the book.

‘Dark Demon Dragon… It’s both a dragon and a demonic beast. I didn’t expect this young man to be able to subdue such a beast…’

The fairy began to speculate Matthew’s identity.

There was no one on the Vartas Continent who could tame the members of these two races.

‘Could he not be from the Vartas continent?’

The fairy thought it was very possible.

‘Interesting…’

The fairy revealed an almost imperceptible smile.

Matthew had already flipped to the third page of “Dragon Race History”.

It recorded the glorious history of the Dragon race:

In ancient times, the dragons were the undisputed rulers of the Vartas continent, and all living beings obeyed their orders.

Page 4: The living beings outside the Vartas Continent invaded. The Dragon Race led all the living beings on the continent to fight. In the end, they paid a huge price to achieve victory. The people of later generations called this age the Dark Age—Era of Darkness Materials.

Page 5: Era of Myriad Beings. As more and more races appeared on the Vartas Continent, a portion of the Dragon Race began to migrate with most of the living beings. No one knew where they went.

Page 6: The Dragon Race’s reputation on the Vartas Continent reached its peak. All living beings regard them as their leader…

Page 7: A dark race rose up on the Vartas Continent and was suppressed by the dragons immediately…

The eighth page…

The ninth page…

The tenth page…

The first sixteen pages were all about the glorious history of the Dragon Race.

On Matthew’s shoulder, Heber’s blood boiled with excitement. It wanted nothing more than to revive the glory of its ancestors.

Matthew flipped to page 17 expressionlessly. The content had finally changed, and it was no longer describing the glory of the Dragon Race.

The starting phrase was marked in large font ‘The Birth of Humans’.

Humans and dragons were born with extremely high affinity, so the dragons acted very close to humans.

Following that was the growth of mankind under the protection of the Dragon race. In just a few epochs, mankind had risen to a level that made the other races fearful.

There were not many records about human beings in “Dragon Race History”.

On page 20, things returned to the main topic and began to explain the history of the Dragon Race.

However, it was not the glorious history of the Dragon Race.

In the Demon Dragon Era, the Dragon Race would usher in a dark era that belonged to them.

At that time, a dark aura suddenly appeared on the Vartas continent, infecting many dragons and causing them to fall into the darkness.

From then on, the Mutated Beast Atlas had the illustrations of the Demon Dragons. They were the race that all living beings feared.

After that incident, the Dragon Race lost many companions and suffered great damage.

Although the Dragon Race eventually suppressed the darkness, their members rapidly declined.

After the Demon Dragon Era, there were no more than ten thousand total members of the Dragon Race.

After reading the page, Matthew could clearly feel a sadness emanating from Heber.

He reached out and gently stroked the top of Heber’s head to comfort it.

Next, Matthew flipped to page 21 of”Dragon Race History”.

The timeline on this page directly skipped 132 eras.

Every period on the Vartas Continent was differentiated by eras.

One era could be anywhere from a hundred million to a billion years.

132 eras was at least 13 billion years.

During this period, the Dragon Race did not have any active events.

It seemed that the Demon Dragon Era had caused too much damage to the dragons. They needed a lot of time to recover.

“Dragon Race History”page 21 recorded:

After countless years of silence, the Dragon Race still remained at the pinnacle of the Vartas Continent. However, very few living beings were able to see them now, and their glorious history gradually dimmed.

Many living beings still remembered their glorious deeds, but they only treated them as legendary creatures. After the Dragon Race experienced the Demon Dragon Era, they had also kept a low profile.

They maintained close contact with only humans, and some divine dragons were even willing to contract with humans. The legend of the Dragon Knights also started from that time.

As for what happened to the Dragon Race when they went into hiding and why they treated humans so well, no one knew, and no one explored the inside story.

On page 22 of”Dragon Race History”.

The timeline crossed 154 eras again.

Matthew also realized that this was the last page of”Dragon Race History”.

What exactly was recorded on this page? What happened in between?

Matthew read with intense but curious interest.

The starting phrase wrote:

End of Dragons, Dragon Destruction Era.

Matthew and Heber’s eyes narrowed at the sight.

The man and the beast began to read intently.

They read this page with intense concentration.

The content behind the Dragon Destruction Era wrote about the leader of the Dragon Race at that time, but its name was not mentioned. It led the Dragon Race and the Dragon Knights to engage in a chaotic battle with the demons from hell.

The scope of this battle was extremely wide, covering almost the entire Vartas Continent. Many races had been wiped out by this destructive war.

It could be said that this was the most tragic battle in the history of the Vartas Continent.

At that time, almost half of the living beings on the continent had died.

Even though humans were already very strong back then, they still suffered heavy casualties.

After the Dragon Destruction Era, there was no trace of the Dragon Race anymore.

The Dragon Knight lineage that had lasted 154 eras thus came to an end.

Until today, Matthew, a Dragon Knight, appeared after 111 eras.

“No wonder the City Lord’s attitude towards me changed so much…”

After learning these secrets, Matthew was enlightened.

He still had many unresolved questions because”Dragon Race History”only had records and did not reveal too many secrets. However, he was satisfied with what he gained.

Being able to know so many things at once could be considered a great harvest.

Next, Matthew returned the book to the fairy and asked again, “Are there any books about Beast Tamers?”

The fairy looked up at Matthew with a pair of ethereal eyes, and said, “I know the specific books you want, but I still advise you to ask those real Beast Tamers for advice. The contents of the books are only records, and can’t be your mentor.”

Matthew’s eyes flashed with understanding as he bowed slightly in gratitude. “Thank you, then I’ll take my leave.”

Then, he walked towards the only door with Athosen following behind him.
