Thalia shook its head. However, Adrian did not know if it did not want to share the details with him or if it just did not know."What about the crimson dragon inside? What's her rank?" Adrian asked, though he already had an idea. After all, even Thalia was scared to face her."She's one of the Primordial Dragons, of course. She controls numerous loyal dragon descendants, and she owns this realm. She even has many treasures that I don't know about...""You mean there are treasures besides the secret realm?" Adrian's eyes lit up. Although there were many treasures in the secret realm, most did not catch his interest."Stop thinking about it. Those things aren’t items you can easily come by. Even though I've become stronger, I don't dare to touch them.”"You should be around the same level as a war legate above level eight, right?""War legate? What kind of term is that? All I can tell you is that I'm stronger than any fighter at level eight. If it weren't for those people from the
“So, you've already led them here?" Adrian sneered and shook his head. "Not yet. They don't dare to push me too far. You know that I don't have a good temper."Sion fell into silence.Suddenly, Thalia shouted, "She’s undergoing metamorphosis!”"What does that mean?" Adrian asked. "To fully awaken the bloodline of the Primordial Dragon, the young dragon needs to undergo a trial. It's their coming-of-age ceremony. Only after passing this trial can they be considered a true Primordial Dragon," Thalia explained. "How long does it take?" Adrian asked. "It could take a few months, or even several years. There's even a chance of failure and turning into an impure hybrid dragon. This is something that Primordial Dragons must go through," Thalia explained with a mix of envy and glee in her tone, "I didn't expect her to enter the metamorphosis phase. Haha! Now I don't have to be scared of her anymore!""A few months?" Adrian looked at Sion, seeking confirmation.Sion nodded and said
Now that Thalia wasn't here anymore, Adrian couldn't hear whatever Lyra said. As for Sion and Jess, there was nothing much they could do. They could only wait on the side with a sad expression."Are you waiting here for Lyra to complete her transformation?" Adrian asked them."Yes. We intended to take the Dragon Dial with you and use your strength to conceal the matter, then find a place to hide until Lyra completes her transformation. Then, we’d leave together." Sion smiled bitterly. "But they had set their sights on that thing, so I didn't want to leave this place. I'll stay here with Lyra after they leave."Adrian shook his head, thinking that the idea was quite good. Unfortunately, their abilities were limited, and they couldn't achieve what they wanted in the end."Where are you going?" Jess nervously asked when she saw Adrian turning to leave."To buy time,” Adrian responded coldly.On the way back, Adrian kept thinking about how to explain Thalia's disappearance, but he co
Fynn swung his fist, and his Vital Energy surged out of it. There was even a faint sound of thunder and lightning. His punch was not to be underestimated.Among these three people, Adrian had some understanding of Fynn’s strength. This old man was probably the weakest and also the most annoying among them, so Adrian decided to deal with him first.Facing the surging fist force, Adrian indifferently raised his hand. Silverboa’s military technique was most effective against such vigorous boxing methods. He made a pushing and pulling motion with both hands, effortlessly countering Fynn’s strike. The terrifying fist force was resolved by Adrian, but Fynn still wanted to charge forward. However, the other two blocked him.Alistair whispered to Fynn, "Stop it. He wants to kill you!""What did you say?" Fynn glared."Don't you understand yet? He wants to kill you first, disrupt the balance among the three villages, and start another conflict.""Then let's attack him together! Let’s kill
If Lyra could transform into a Primordial Dragon, Adrian felt that he would still have a fighting chance against these three villages. Even if he couldn't defeat them, that kind of power could become a bargaining chip in negotiations. He disliked the current passive situation he was in.A day passed, and Adrian once again came to the vicinity of the cave. The three chiefs showed him the greatest tolerance and didn’t track him. However, Adrian knew that this was their bottom line. If Thalia didn’t come back, he might have to go back and apologize to them, exchanging it for a chance to leave alive.Just thinking about that made Adrian grimace. He had never softened his stance in front of the Dark Battle Warrior, yet he would have to humble himself before three eight-level experts?He shook his head and continued to wait.On the side, Sion watched Adrian's expression and knew that the situation was not optimistic."What happened after you went back yesterday?" Sion asked."Nothing m
Thalia's gaze remained fixed on the magma pool, where the crimson dragon had left a deep impression on it. The incredibly powerful pressure made it afraid.Upon hearing Adrian's words, Thalia took a step forward and focused its gaze on the magma pool. Using the language exclusive to dragons, it asked Lyra inside the pool, "What are you doing?"Adrian and the couple watched from the side. After Thalia approached, the magma pool surged twice."What did Lyra say?" Sion asked anxiously.Thalia remained silent for two seconds, then grimaced."What did she say?" Sion walked up to Thalia's side."That mirror... It's not used to reflect dragon souls but to condense dragon souls!" Thalia's face turned grim."What does that mean?" Adrian asked."It means that she will complete the transformation in a shorter time, but the consequence is... She will be left with many side effects. Although she can complete the transformation..." "Lyra! Why would you do this?!" Sion shouted anxiously. He
Orders from above could come at any time, commanding them to take action against Adrian."Why are they all staring at us like that?" Thalia asked anxiously.In just one day, the attitude of the people from the three villages toward them had changed, making Thalia anxious."I fought with the three chiefs yesterday. Otherwise, did you think you could leave so casually and come back?" Adrian said casually.Thalia's expression turned grim as it turned to look at Adrian. Its gaze was like that of someone looking at a lunatic."Is it worth it for that dragon?" Thalia asked incredulously.Adrian chuckled but did not answer.Lyra had provided him with a lot of help, and Adrian hoped to help her as much as he could. This repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge was something he felt Thalia, or rather the mysterious dark dragon, didn’t understand.Seeing Adrian bring Thalia back, the three chiefs, who had moved to another building, stared at the pair although they did not
Upon hearing his words, Adrian nodded slightly. He had indeed infringed upon the interests of others after all. What was crucial right now was to stall for time, not engage in a life-or-death struggle with the other party. Such a situation was something he didn't want to see.So, he turned to Thalia and smiled, saying indifferently, "Perhaps I have a way to help repair its dragon soul."Thalia's eyes widened. When it set off for the secret realm, it had prepared for the worst. It was just taking its chances, and being able to come back from there with half its life intact was already a good result. But Adrian said he could help it repair its dragon soul.Thalia couldn’t believe him, but...who knew? After all, Adrian was always someone who could work miracles.As for Alistair and the others, they were equally shocked after hearing this.Fynn sneered disdainfully. "If repairing a dragon soul were so easy, would Alistair be so angry?"Adrian retorted in an even more contemptuous ton
