I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 294

Chapter 294 – Tuatha Dé Danann (“People of the Goddess Danu”)

Many college students stood on the deck of the ship with dumbfounded expressions. They watched the figure coming from the distant shore and getting clearer and clearer.

As the figure approached, the dense fog began to thin. The island in the distance seemed to sharpen in resolution.

Not long after, the fog completely dissipated. The blue sea and blue sky appeared once more in the eyes of the crowd, but it wasn’t completely the same. A human figure stood above the sea.

It was a tall, muscular man. His exposed skin was covered in ancient tattoos and wore antiquated clothing. While his attire wasn’t completely analogous to animal skins worn by barbarians, it didn’t look modern at all.

At this moment, the people found that the man was not actually treading the waves, but below his feet was a huge shark. That’s right, the man was riding the shark forward.

When the man saw the yacht, his eyes flickered, and he laughed loudly, “Thank you for giving me a ride.”

Then, the man gently leaped off the shark, jumping several meters high with an unbelievable speed and arc, and landed on the bow of the boat.

The crowd on the boat shrieked and screamed as the man landed. His landing caused the boat to shake three times causing the crowd to fall backward and forward.

“Sigh. What a bunch of weaklings. If this was in the middle of a war, your heads would probably be chopped off.”

The man said with dissatisfaction and then asked loudly, “Who is your leader?”

The crowd collectively paled in fright. Its members looked at each other without knowing how to answer.

This was because they couldn’t understand the man’s words at all. Only a few who studied history could tell that this was an ancient Celtic language, but no one spoke the Celtic language anymore in this era.

The man also noticed that these people could not understand his words. He slightly corrected himself and angrily said, “What did those damned birds and their god do to make the people not understand my words anymore?”

This time, the people on the boat understood the man because he had switched to English, but his voice contained a strong Irish accent that slurred his speech.

The students on board went silent because of the oppressive aura that the man gave off. He just stood there like a beast preparing to eat its prey. Let alone staring at the man, the students couldn’t even maintain eye contact with the man.

As time passed, the students were able to barely recover their spirits and carefully looked at the appearance of the man.

The man was two meters tall and packed full of muscles. He exuded an aura of bravery and savagery. He had a spear behind him made from unknown materials. The spear appeared roughly made, but there were many patterns on it that seemed to contain incredible power.

“A Celtic cross, a Claddagh ring, a spiral knot, and a Celtic wheel of life.”

A student who was deeply knowledgeable about Celtic culture whispered. He saw the symbols on the spear and was able to recognize them. These symbols had rich meaning in Celtic culture and Druidism. It also made the spear look beautiful.

However, compared to the existence of the man and his spear, the unknown life form on the man’s shoulder attracted people’s attention more.

It was a fairy-like creature that was only 20 meters tall. It had the appearance of a human being with a pair of translucent butterfly wings on its back. It was even wearing a beautiful dress of intricate colors.

The delicate and beautiful appearance of the fairy made people imagine how beautiful she would look if she had a human-sized body.

“Fairy?”

A student let out a questioning whisper.

However, another more knowledgeable student, seeing the man’s dress and tone as well as the island, spoke in wonder, “Avalon? Lady of the Lake?”

“Eh? It looks like someone has some insight. He even knows that you are the Demoness of the Lake.”

The man’s last words were addressed to the fairy sitting on his shoulder.

“It’s lady, not demoness, you barbarian.”

The fairy said discontentedly. The language she used was classical English, and her voice held an incredible charm.

“Barbarian? Don’t tell me those birds influenced you?”

The man was furious, “Moronoe, you have already left Avalon and become so small. You can’t even function as a woman, why did I even bring you here. In this world, you must listen to me and not contradict me.”

TLN: In case people don’t know, there are apparently many people who were called Lady of the Lake, so having another one doesn’t make a difference 🙂

The man’s words made those college students sweat. They thought that this wild man was very ‘straight’. And he didn’t seem to shy from speaking crassly to the fairy. Moreover, from his words, they could tell that this 20-centimeter fairy originally had a bigger body.

Chang and Jason looked at each other at this time and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes, “Moronoe? Isn’t that one of the nine rulers of Avalon?”

While the two were shocked by this name, the beautiful and elegant fairy angrily and arrogantly said “Connacht Rhys, although you are a Tuatha Dé Danann, a descendant of the supreme goddess Danu, Avalon is a realm of bliss and not under the control of Danu. If you are not convinced, then let us go back to Avalon and fight. Let’s see if I can drain you first or you can make me beg for mercy.”

The air of elegance around her disappeared, replaced by an extremely demonic air. At that moment, everyone understood why the man called her a demoness.

This was very Celtic and very bold!

As senior students of the University of Wales and people who had stayed on Celtic land for a period of time, they could glean a lot of shocking information from the conversation between the two.

They were shocked, but they were also envious.

The males on the boat’s minds began to wander. The fairy was like a hundred flowers, and just being able to do it with her once even if they would live a short life would be worth it.

In Celtic mythology, men and women did not seem to be very concerned about the relationship between the sexes. It’s even said that Druids allowed same-sex relationships and were very open about it. Ordinary people could only imagine this openness because women in Celtic mythology loved men who were brave warriors. In modern times, only a few people could compare to ancient Celtic warriors.

Suddenly, the man known to be a Tuatha Dé Danann looked to the south and let out a bloodthirsty laugh, “HAHAHAHA! Moronoe, I can feel the god of those bird people. If it is on the other side, then only the goddess could face him, but in this world, the human god could definitely be killed by me!”

The Celtic man’s eyes became frenzied. His body was full of spirit as if he would dare throw his spear at the face of a god.

Moronoe was shocked and hurriedly stopped him, “Connacht Rhys, you cannot do that. We had a hard time coming to this world for our mission. Even if he is reduced to the ‘Son of God’, you are still not his opponent. Also, what use is it to kill him when it’s just one part of the whole?

“We, Tuatha Dé Danann, do not fear death!”

“But what you are doing is suicide! We are the defeated. We were only able to gain this chance to come to this side thanks to the returning mysteries and the permission of the Eastern Gods. You cannot just waste this opportunity on a whim. The reason why I’m here in this body is to keep you in check!”

Celtic people were the kind to never care about others, as a result, the man and the fairy argued.

The ignored college students looked at each other and thought that the Celts had some strange common sense, but this was also a great fortune for them as they were able to know many things.

The people from Celtic mythology, if classified by camps, would be in the chaos camp!
