The voice's owner approached Adrian and Dragon Prince.As they suspected, it was a stunning woman, striding in a flirtatious manner reminiscent of a snake.Her white attire resembled a sheer layer of chiffon. She exuded an air of semi-transparency, revealing subtle glimpses of her body.Her alluring physique emanated an enigmatic aura.Her eyes, filled with allure, could captivate with just a glance.Advancing towards them, she scrutinized Adrian, wearing a mysterious smile.That smile penetrated bone and heart, irresistible.Adrian had chills from her stare but could not say anything to her. He looked away in silence.He knew that he was still inexperienced and could not resist the woman's charm entirely.She was the epitome of enchanting!She merely looked at him for a moment before noticing Dragon Prince. With the same smile on her face, she looked like she could charm just anyone. "It's been a while, Abel Mercer."Dragon Prince bowed to her. "It's been a while, Laney. Yo
Laney led them into the valley. It looked like it was spring on the outside, but they realized it was different when they went in.As soon as they entered the valley, Adrian felt as if they had entered a new world.Before them, peculiar plants thrived, their lushness creating a captivating sight. Towering mushrooms, resembling colorful umbrellas, stood like sentinels.Beneath their feet, flowers bloomed, and butterflies gracefully danced around them. The air was filled with the enchanting fragrance of the blossoms.Peculiar trees bearing tiny and cute fruits caught their attention. However, hesitation lingered, uncertain about the fruits' edibility.Apart from these wonders, wooden houses of various sizes were nestled among the vegetation. Unlike the orderly structures of the human world, these homes had a charmingly crooked design.Vines adorned with morning glory-like flowers crawled along the houses, adding to the picturesque scenery. It seemed as though the creatures living
Laney looked puzzled and asked, "Abel, you're not from the valley. You don't have to bow to Celestial Drago."Wearing a smile, Dragon Prince replied, "My father said that we don't have to believe in the gods, but we must respect them. Moreover, Celestial Drago is the dragons' ancestor. We must remember where we come from. It makes sense for me to respect my ancestors."She smiled apologetically, slapping her head before acknowledging, "I forgot that Celestial Drago is your ancestor."Adrian, feeling perplexed, questioned, "I know about Drago. He's the dragons' legendary ancestor and the founding father of humanity. I heard he's the descendant of dragons and the human race. That's why both sides worship him."But why is he named Celestial Drago? Also, how did he become the celestial that the monsters in Verdant Summit worship?"Laney took the lead before Dragon Prince could respond, suggesting, "It's a long story. Let's walk. We'll talk along the way."Passing through a colossal s
Adrian had heard about the myth.Several heroic stories had been added to it.Legend spoke of ancient times when humans faced dire situations.Despite having the upper hand compared to other beings, it was the Creator who truly conquered the world.The Creator treated humans as if they were His slaves—lambs to His will.Humans had to obediently yield to His suppression.Meanwhile, Celestial Drago led humans in a rebellion, ultimately overthrowing the Creator's rule. This marked the inception of the first civilization, and he began spreading his teachings.During his world travels, Celestial Drago encountered supernatural beings who had independently mastered heavenly arts through their own training—these were the monsters.Recognizing the difficulty of harmonious coexistence between monsters and humans, Celestial Drago created an isolated space, now known as Verdant Summit, attracting many monsters to breed.In gratitude, the monsters erected a large sculpture to worship him.
The man possessed striking looks, accentuated by his beautiful eyes and a set of white, sparkly teeth that were revealed whenever he spoke. His attractiveness wasn't just skin-deep—he managed to conceal his energy adeptly.Adrian had to scrutinize him carefully to discern whether he was a human or a fox monster. This difficulty arose from the subtle, almost invisible nature of his energy.To the average person, he appeared to be a rare and beautiful man, charming many women on the street.As he squinted and observed Adrian, disdain filled his eyes. Eventually, he mumbled softly, "Immortal from the human world…"His speech carried an extra charm.Adrian could sense their thoughts. In this realm, inhabited solely by monsters, a pervasive hostility existed toward human immortals.Dragon Prince, being Laney's friend, received some leniency, but Adrian, as a stranger, faced skepticism.Considering the giant ape's earlier aggressive behavior, it was evident that an attack would have b
Night in Verdant Valley was different from the outside world.No moon adorned the sky—only a mysterious light greeted those who gazed upward.Blurry yet undeniably beautiful, it cast a gentle silver glow over the valley. From a distance, the scene resembled entry into a magical kingdom.Dragon Prince understood that this enchanting phenomenon resulted from the formation beyond the valley.Despite being placed in a room by Laney, he could not sleep that night.Drawn to the allure of the bright, mysterious light, he ascended the highest platform on the mountain wall.It felt like everything in the world was small. It was pleasant and gave off a sense of freedom. A dragon had a long life.It had made him carefree of worldly affairs.The night air was fresh as he took a deep, exuberant breath. Just then, footsteps approached from behind. He heightened his alertness, and not even the sound of a breeze could escape him.Turning swiftly at the noise, he spotted a woman in white not
After becoming a supernatural being, they would begin their training.Similar to ancient humans devoid of characters and civilization, they commenced their ascent from the lowest point.Human evolution over generations shaped them into their present form.In contemporary times, the ability to read anything one desired was accessible. Every aspect was meticulously crafted by the elders who invested their lives in it, establishing a systematic civilization.Yet, the monsters faced a different reality. Their transformation into supernatural beings was a rarity.Living among tribes, they stood out in the crowd.From the dawn of time, personal training was imperative. No one could train on behalf of another, be it humans or monsters.Similarly, enlightened monsters couldn't assist their kind in achieving enlightenment, as it risked the monsters dominating the world.The responsibility to acquire intelligence rested solely on the individual. External assistance was not an option.On
Laney shook her head, stating, "Abel, you're in the dark about this. It's deeply connected to current events. To human immortals, creatures like us are viewed as aliens, and we need to maintain our distance. The dynamics among monsters differ from those among humans. It's commonplace for us to eliminate each other."To thrive in this jungle law, we're compelled to do so."Her words snapped Dragon Prince out of his daze.In reality, weren't humans the same, monsters aside?The dragons experienced it, too!Internally, they were deceitful, scheming against each other, and willing to do anything for personal gain.Self-destruction was inevitable among them.The only difference was that it wasn't as gruesome as among monsters. Humans often wore the mask of righteousness when pursuing their interests.Dragon Prince observed this clearly.Survival necessitated strengthening themselves, avoiding being slain by immortals or their own kind, a situation marked by helplessness and comprom
