Chapter 324: Angelic Hierarchy
"Oh? Tell , why are Half-Dragons with tails considered special?"
"Sotis, dragons take on the form of Half-Dragons to roam the Augus Continent. The only difference between them and true Half-Dragons is the presence of an extra tail. Only the pure-blooded offspring of Dragon Kings can fully transform into human form."
Helena’s explanation made Li ng’s eyes light up.
Dragons could shapeshift?
"Have you seen a dragon?" Li ng asked curiously.
Helena shook her head.
"No, I haven’t. It’s said that dragons haven’t appeared in the world for over a thousand years."
In this era, the dragon race had already declined.
Xiao Bai once ntioned that the surviving dragons lived in seclusion on an island called "Dragon Isle" in the Sea of Oblivion.
The island was isolated from the rest of the world, accessible only to dragons capable of flight.
The dragons seen on the Augus Continent were actually Half-Dragons.
True dragons, upon reaching adulthood, possessed massive bodies over 100 ters tall.
In contrast, Half-Dragons were only about 30 ters tall.
"Tell about the Light Sli. Where did you find it?"
Li ng shifted the conversation to the main topic—his true purpose.
"The Water Dragon Knights discovered a teleportation array on the 41st floor. Using it, they traveled to an isolated space where a group of Light Slis lived."
The man in front of her seed equally interested in the Light Sli.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have snatched it from the Water Dragon Knights.
"I’ve already signed a Life Sharing Contract with the Light Sli!"
Li ng’s declaration startled Helena.
"Silver Mask, you… You promised !"
Helena looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
A Light Sli bound by a Life Sharing Contract was useless to her.
"I can help you find another one. Since you were able to get the first, you can surely get a second."
Now that they knew the habitat of the Light Slis, obtaining more shouldn’t be a problem.
Helena fell silent, unable to argue.
That was indeed a feasible plan.
"What’s wrong? Is it difficult?"
Helena nodded lightly.
"Yes, it’s difficult. The teleportation array is deep on the 41st floor. In the space where the Light Slis live, a Radiant Angel slumbers. To avoid alarming it, we waited there for two years before finding an opportunity to steal one Light Sli."
A Radiant Angel?
Li ng’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
Radiant Angels ranked high among angelic hierarchies.
There were four levels of angels: Sword Angels, Holy Radiant Angels, Radiant Angels, and Seraphim.
Even the lowest-ranked Sword Angel possessed the power of a Saint-level professional.
Radiant Angels were nearly as powerful as Holy Spirits.
As for Seraphim, they were akin to gods.
"An angel? I’ve never seen one. Let’s et it."
Hearing this, Helena hesitated to speak.
That place was undoubtedly dangerous.
Legendary angels weren’t necessarily kind or just.
In essence, they weren’t any different from demons.
Like demons, angels needed human hosts to manifest in this world.
While their actions weren’t as vile and bloodthirsty as demons, they weren’t aligned with goodness or justice either.
Angels preferred to spiritually enslave entire races, like the humans who worshiped "crystals."
Helena had no choice.
Even if it was dangerous, she had to venture there again.
With Silver Mask accompanying her this ti, perhaps they could obtain another Light Sli.
Helena nodded.
"We’ll have to return to that space."
Li ng’s hand, subrged in water, wandered over Helena’s tender body.
Her face flushed, and she lowered her head.
Silver Mask’s touch was so warm, sending waves of comfort and sensitivity wherever it landed.
"What do you need the Light Sli for?"
The only valuable thing about slis was their sli secretions.
Although contracting with a sli had its benefits, no one usually did it.
Signing a contract with a sli was essentially slow suicide.
Helena took a deep breath and leaned against Li ng, her face still red.
"The Queen of the Water Dragon Empire fell into a cursed slumber over thirty years ago. Contracting with a Light Sli might wake her. Although it would greatly shorten her lifespan, it’s better than eternal sleep."
The Water Dragon Empire was a Half-Dragon nation in the Central Continent.
Half-Dragons were the dominant race there, with five major empires:
The Water Dragon Empire, Holy Dragon Empire, Wind Dragon Empire, Rock Dragon Empire, and Fire Dragon Empire.
The Fire Dragon Empire, in particular, held a grudge against humans and frequently launched aerial fleet attacks on the Southern Continent.
"A curse? What kind of curse?"
Helena shook her head gently.
"I don’t know. After a court ball, the Queen fell into a deep sleep. No one knows what curse befell her. Her body remained unhard during her prolonged slumber, which only a curse could achieve."
What kind of curse could cause permanent sleep without harming the body?
The body’s state seed frozen at the mont before slumber.
"Xiao Bai, what do you think it could be?"
Li ng turned to Xiao Bai, who was well-versed in various knowledge. She might have so insight.
Sure enough, Xiao Bai recognized it.
[The Dark Magic ‘Sleeping Beauty’]
"Can contracting with a Light Sli dispel the curse?"
[Yes. ‘Sleeping Beauty’ is dark magic, and the Light Sli’s attributes counteract it.]
It seed they had no choice but to send a Light Sli to the Water Dragon Knights.
As for the Radiant Angel…
Li ng’s eyes glead with anticipation.
Perhaps this ti, he could face a worthy opponent.
Ti ticked by, and night deepened.
The two chatted in the bath for hours before finally leaving.
Late at night, in a room upstairs.
"Helena, you’re so beautiful."
The two lay naked on the bed.
Li ng propped himself on his side, admiring Helena’s alluring figure.
Her fair skin and seductive curves made his mouth water.
Helena blushed at Silver Mask’s complint.
Years of celibacy had made her incredibly sensitive, her face perpetually flushed.
Li ng rolled over, pressing against her from behind.
Helena’s body trembled, her face turning an even deeper red.
"The night is long. Let’s get to the main event."
Li ng’s words made her cheeks burn.
She gazed at him with soft, misty eyes.
She still didn’t know what race Silver Mask belonged to.
His body beneath the black robe was green.
Was he a beastman?
But his physique didn’t match that of beastn, who were typically bulky.
Silver Mask’s build was more human-like.
