After carefully observing for a while, Emma found that Adrian was genuinely repairing the dragon soul. She did not know how she was doing this, but since they weren’t doing anything suspicious, she just watched them."How could this be?" Thalia muttered in disbelief.Other than the Mighty Net, Thalia also sensed two terrifying energies in its dragon soul. They were altering its dragon soul."No! You can't do this!" Thalia shouted when she realized that something was wrong.Although Adrian had mentioned earlier that Thalia had no say in the current situation, it still felt a deep sense of crisis. Acting on instinct, it stood up from the mat and ran to the side.Thalia ran toward Emma, wanting to tell Emma what Adrian was doing to it. It wanted Emma to find Alistair so that he would intervene and stop Adrian. But as soon as she caught sight of Adrian's gaze and the pair of swords in his hands, Thalia froze."What's happening?" Emma asked sternly.Thalia gulped nervously and said,
"A deal?" Emma was puzzled.Adrian continued, "Here's the deal. I'll help you regain your strength and get you out of this place. In return—”"Don't agree with him! He's using you!" Thalia interrupted.Clank!Adrian swung his sword, creating a deep mark on the ground near Thalia's feet. "It seems you really have a death wish." He sneered.While Emma was still processing the situation, Adrian continued, "Think about it. The reason Thalia refuses is that it doesn't want to give up its pure dragon identity. But you? You're currently just a useless person. What else do you have to consider?""You'll help me regain my power and get me out of here? What’s the outside world like?" Emma asked.Adrian chuckled. He knew that Emma would accept the deal. Thalia knew Emma would agree to Adrian's proposal too. However, it would rather die than let Adrian use those two auras to alter its soul. Therefore, it turned and ran. Adrian did not stop it, but someone else did."Let go of me!" Thal
The dark dragon would become neither a human nor a dragon. Its soul would be tainted with unending violence and a ghostly aura. But now that Emma had turned against her, the situation was entirely under Adrian's control. There was nothing it could do to stop Adrian. On top of that, the three chiefs and villagers were unaware of what was happening.Over the next two days, Adrian used the energies from the Divine Frost Slayer Blade and Hellblade to repair and modify Thalia's dragon soul. During this time, Thalia remained in a state of semi-consciousness, as the changes in its dragon soul had caused it to lose control of its body.During its slumber, Thalia had numerous dreams. Some took it to battlefields in otherworldly realms, where vast armies clashed in a gruesome spectacle, and it found these scenes horrifying even though it was accustomed to considering humans as insignificant.When Thalia locked gazes with a general in black armor, it felt as if its soul was trembling. When it
"Just one more day?" Adrian looked down at Thalia and shook his head. "What's wrong? Is it difficult?" Emma asked worriedly. Since the day Emma made her choice two days ago, she had slowly opened her heart. She unleashed her yearning for freedom that had been suppressed for countless years. Therefore, she stood on Adrian's side and wanted to help him. After all, only if his plan succeeded could she regain her strength and leave this place.The challenges they faced now were nothing compared to Lyra’s. After all, he did not know how much time she would need. But since he had decided to buy time for her, he had no choice but to continue with his plan."I'll repair your soul tonight, but you need to be mentally prepared for the changes that might happen to you," Adrian said."Changes? What kind of changes? Will I still be me?" Emma asked nervously."That depends on what Thalia turns into after it wakes up tonight," Adrian said. Emma turned to look at Thalia, who looked dirty and
When the dragon emerged in the sky, the commotion on the battlefield came to a halt. Thalia soared above the clouds and looked down. The people below raised their heads, their expressions filled with shock and fear.Even though Thalia knew this was just a dream, it felt a great sense of satisfaction in fulfilling its vanity. It observed its transformed body and realized that it was different from before. It knew that it did not belong to any kind of true dragon in history in its current state. Thalia was a little aggrieved. Perhaps it had truly become a hybrid dragon now. Not only that, but it still did not have a physical body. The more it thought about it, the angrier it became. "Adrian! This is all your fault! And those three old men!" Thalia erupted in anger. It lowered its head and stared at the masses below. "Even if I'm a hybrid dragon, you ants shouldn't offend me!"Thalia knew this was a dream, so it acted without restraint. Soaring down from the sky, it unleashed an att
The howling wind swept past Thalia's ears. Although Adrian was standing far from it, the distance between them seemed mere inches for it. In its opinion, dragons were masters of the sky. “I'm going to kill you, Adrian!" Thalia shouted angrily as it unleashed the dissatisfaction it harbored. Just as it charged, it saw him suddenly laughing."An ant like you dares to dream of killing me? Ridiculous." Adrian sneered.Unsheathing the Divine Frost Slayer Blade from his waist, he swung it above Thalia's head. The sword's radiance covered the entire battlefield for countless kilometers. Even Thalia seemed insignificant compared to the brilliance of the sword in its dragon form.Thalia abruptly halted its charge and closed its eyes. When it opened them again, it found darkness all around. Its once crimson-gold dragon eyes had turned black, and it had lost its vision.A profound sense of fear overwhelmed Thalia. It instinctively tried to turn away, only to realize it was enveloped by the
“And what now?" Adrian looked at Thalia with a half-smile.Looking at Adrian triumphantly, Thalia said, "Not only has my strength been restored, but I've also become even stronger! Even those three old guys are no match for me!""And?" Adrian asked again."So, it's time for you to die!" Thalia shouted as it lunged at Adrian. Adrian fell silent for a moment when he saw Thalia charging at him with its dragon claw. Just when he drew his swords, Thalia suddenly stopped, and its face became pale with fear. Thalia’s expression flitted between horror and surprise as it looked at Adrian.Adrian refrained from taking action, and Emma stood up. She watched Thalia cautiously and asked, "What happened to it?" "I don't know, but I'm curious about what it dreamed about," Adrian replied and shook his head.Several minutes passed, and Thalia calmed down. It suddenly burst into laughter and approached Adrian with a somewhat fawning smile. "Calm down now. I was just joking with you.""Just jok
"Hah, you killed me and left an imprint on my soul in the dream. I can't lay a hand on you anymore.""An imprint?" Adrian asked."Exactly. Unless I can remove the imprint, I won't oppose you in the future," Thalia continued, lowering its head. Adrian nodded. He was surprised that the Divine Frost Slayer Blade and Hellbalde had such effects."What's your current strength?" he asked."I'm a lot stronger now, but this body is weak. I can probably only hold off one chief as long as they don't unleash their ultimate power."Thalia was withholding some information. While it was indeed stronger now and its power was still formidable despite the limitations imposed by Thalia’s body, it could likely handle two chiefs on its own.Adrian nodded and then turned to Emma. "It's your turn now."Having overheard the conversation, Emma sighed and asked, "Am I going to experience the same thing as it? Not daring to disobey your orders after a dream?"Thalia shook her head and said, "That shoul
