The Almighty Dragon General

Youri’s expression was composed as he glanced at Qimat and asked, “Where’s Lada Yocheved?”
Qimat said, “As she has been by the Grand Patriarch’s side all this while, she knows his condition best. After extrapolating the
future of the Doom Race, much of his power has been depleted. At the moment, the Grand Patriarch has been substantially
weakened. She has reported this multiple times.”
Youri’s face darkened as he said, “Summon her.”
At that moment, the door opened, and a woman wearing a white dress walked in. As her face was covered by a veil, her
appearance could not be discerned.
She was Lada Yocheved, a lady servant of Hirah Dalibor the Grand Patriarch. She was a spy implanted by Youri among Hirah’s
ranks.
“Greetings, Great Elder.”
Lada walked in and greeted him respectfully.
Youri asked, “Is the Grand Patriarch really nearing his end?”
“Yes,” Lada said, “He was gravely injured during the war in the Primordial Realm. All this while, he had been sustaining himself
with his own vitality. When the Minor Patriarch returned, the Grand Patriarch gave him the Chaos Sacred Art. He even depleted
his remaining power to extrapolate the future of the Dooms. It was then he learned that the Dooms would face a disaster, one
that will be related to the Great Elder.”
Hearing this, Youri’s expression turned grim.
Lada continued, “I can sense that his power has been almost completely depleted. At the moment, his strength is only at the
peak of the Quasi Acme Rank. If you make a move, you can surely exterminate him silently.”
...
Youri knew about this for Lada had reported Hirah’s condition to him many times in the past. However, he was doubtful. All this
while, he repeatedly questioned Lada because he was afraid of things going awry. If he misstepped even once, he would lose
everything. Doubt was written on his face.
“Stop hesitating, Great Elder. We’re running out of time!” Qimat was anxious.

Youri took a deep breath and glanced at Lada, saying, “Execute the plan we originally formulated. You will ambush the Grand
Patriarch while I watch from the shadows. If anything unexpected occurs, I will intervene straight away.”
“Understood.”
Lada nodded before disappearing from the room.
In the closed-door meditation sanctuary of the Dooms...
The Grand Patriarch was sitting in a lotus position on the peak of a mountain. His hair was disheveled, and his appearance was
old. His pulse was also very weak.
From the darkness, a woman walked toward him. She was Lada.
“Grand Patriarch, the gathering’s tomorrow. Do you not plan to participate?” Lada asked.
Hirah opened his eyes slightly and looked at Lada, sighing and saying, “How am I supposed to attend in the condition I’m in? If I
let others know that I’m nearing my end, it will be extremely disadvantageous to our race. We have both external and internal
threats at the same time. Besides, Wynnstan has yet to grow. I’m worried that the Dooms won’t last through the crisis.”
Hirah was filled with consternation.
Lada walked toward him and said, “Don’t worry, Grand Patriarch. The Minor Patriarch has immense potential. He will surely lead
the rise of the Dooms.”
In the meantime, she silently gathered strength. Lada’s strength is formidable, and she was a true Acmean.
At that moment, she attacked abruptly, and her powerful palm struck Hirah. Her arm pierced through
Hirah’s body, and Hirah was sent flying, spurting out mouthfuls of blood. He collapsed on the ground not too far away and glared
at Lada furiously, pointing his finger at her.
“Y-You...!”
“Forgive me, Grand Patriarch.”
Lada rushed toward Hirah and struck him once more.

As Hirah was already nearing his end, he could not withstand such an immense force. His vitality seeped away in an instant, and
his soul was annihilated.
