"Hansen has lost his mind. As long as it's not the complete extinction of Blade's Reach, he's likely to want us dead," Emma said. Adrian nodded. He turned to look at the cave, only to find Sion and Jess had already disappeared. 'Had they died or had they gone deeper?' he thought."Did they enter the battle earlier?" Adrian asked.Thalia shook its head and replied, "No. I saw them enter deeper into the cave.""Then can you sense any movement from Lyra inside?" Adrian asked. He had already bought Lyra a lot of time for her to undergo metamorphosis, and now he was reaching his limit. Unfortunately, Thalia shook its head and answered, "I'm not sure. She's too far away from me. However, since they entered the cave, her metamorphosis might be nearing completion."Adrian shook his head and looked at the two thousand people ahead. "It's too late."They had been battling for a long time, and they were exhausted. However, there were still at least two thousand people from the three vill
The chiefs watched the battle coldly from the sidelines, intending to wear Adrian and his companions down before delivering the final blow. In their eyes, they could end their lives at any moment."Hmph! Finally, they're as good as dead." Fynn sneered."Is the ground shaking?" Hansen asked, his senses still sharp despite being overwhelmed by rage.The other two chuckled in response."Don't worry, it's just the effect of the battle. What else could it be?"However, Fynn froze in the next second and said, "No. It's not just the ground shaking. There's also some fire elemental energy spreading through the air!" As if realizing something, he continued in terror, “Impossible! How could the metamorphosis be completed so quickly?!""Come again?! The dragon completed its metamorphosis?!" Alistair shouted.Fynn turned to look at the cave where Adrian and the others were located, then shook his head. "We need to retreat.""Even if the metamorphosis is complete, what difference does it ma
Upon seeing Hansen and Fynn withdraw, Alistair's expression turned grim. They were only a step away from victory. Just a few minutes were needed for them to reap the battlefield and ensure Adrian's demise once and for all. However, these two cowards had decided to retreat."Idiots!" Alistair roared. After Blade's Reach left, he knew there was nothing he could do. Therefore, he summoned his villagers to leave the cave as well.Within a matter of minutes, the two thousand or so people from the three villages dispersed, leaving only Adrian's trio. Their bodies were entirely stained red with blood, and there were at least five hundred corpses strewn about the ground. Despite all three of them possessing strength surpassing ordinary level eight, their opponents were formidable as well. They were not just ordinary people who could be easily slaughtered, and it was a remarkable achievement for the three of them to have killed five hundred of them.Adrian breathed a sigh of relief. He turne
Thalia’s eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "The blood of a Primordial Dragon is in that mirror?""Yes. In fact, creating a second form through the refraction of the dragon soul is just one of the mirror's capabilities. It's primarily employed for deception. Although the chances of it falling into someone else's hands were slim, it managed to serve its purpose in the end,” Lyra answered calmly.Thalia trembled uncontrollably after meeting Lyra's gaze. However, it was a different feeling. In the past, the fear it had for Lyra came from the innate suppression in its bloodline. However, the suppression seemed to have disappeared now. Instead, it was replaced by a raging desire for battle. Thalia forcibly suppressed its urge to charge at Lyra and asked, "So does this mean you've integrated the bloodline of the Primordial Dragon into your body?""Yes, that's correct. There's still a long way to go to complete the integration, but for me, this is the best choice. Successfully integ
Thalia curiously asked, "What do you mean?"Lyra had a puzzled expression, then answered, "I haven't gotten all my memories yet. I only know that the outside world is about to undergo a major upheaval, which is significant for both dragons and humans. Staying in a place like this serves no purpose. Only by going out can we become stronger.""But if getting stronger requires going outside, why don’t the three villages come to train in a place like this?" Thalia asked skeptically."I've already said, a massive change is about to happen to the world. It's just that you're unaware of it," Lyra said.Adrian pondered over Lyra’s words. He had heard similar claims from Siena. She too had mentioned that the world was on the brink of change, but neither Siena nor Lyra could provide more information about it."We should find the villages now. The Dragon Dial is still in their hands," Adrian said with determination after seeing the beasts. These beasts were more than enough to deal with thos
"Hmph! You say I don't understand, but you can't explain anything yourself," Thalia countered.As soon as she had finished speaking, the ground began to tremble violently and trees collapsed to the ground."They’re coming back?" Thalia exclaimed in astonishment.Lyra nodded. "I ordered the beasts to bring them back."As they watched the situation unfold in the distance, Adrian’s group relaxed. It was not an easy task for a group of two thousand people to run far enough in just a few minutes. On top of that, no matter how far they ran, Lyra could find them since she was the master of this world. She could even command the beasts to crush and tear them apart if necessary.The people from the three villages gathered together. The chiefs led the way, followed by tens of thousands of beasts. Each beast was at least level seven, and many even reached level eight. There were some terrifying beasts that the chiefs could not judge.Forced to fight and retreat, the chiefs slowly made their
Adrian and Thalia exchanged glances. They were bewildered by Fynn’s shamelessness. Just over ten minutes ago, these people were thinking about capturing Lyra, but now, Fynn was calling Lyra the Dragon God.The villagers standing behind the chiefs looked at Lyra with complex expressions. On one hand, they were astonished that the crimson dragon was from their village. On the other hand, they felt embarrassed. They could not believe Fynn would say such things. It was like throwing away their dignity.However, Fynn ignored them. For the sake of survival, he was willing to do anything.Upon hearing this, Lyra cast a cold glance at them and then turned to Sion. "What do you think? Should he die?" she asked. Sion and Jess exchanged glances, then sighed. "Yes, he deserves to die. Over the years, he treated his villagers as tools. Many of the villagers are dead because of his selfish desires, but…""But?" Lyra asked."We don't want you to have too much blood on your hands," Jess said.
Hansen's eyes widened as he stared at Thalia. It was not that he had no way to fight back, but his courage had been completely shattered by Lyra's sudden appearance and the presence of numerous beasts surrounding them. Thus, he momentarily failed to consider resistance facing Thalia's attack.Fynn, still alive on the ground, lifted his head and noticed what was happening around him. For some reason, he felt a sense of relief. Despite having lived for nearly three hundred years, he still feared death. After all, death was an innate instinct for humans.Even Fynn did not know what would happen after he died. It was exactly because of this unknown that fear overwhelmed him. He had forgotten many things in the past three hundred years. Even so, he still knew what fear was.Fynn knew he was doomed. As fear filled him, he felt some relief seeing that Alistair's fate was the same as his. At the very least, he would not have to die alone. Alistair looked at the hand piercing his chest and
