GDK 588: Rebuilding the Dragon’s Body
***Dark Forest. Inside the valley of the place of extre fire where the Emperor of Flas once stayed.
This valley that had once suffered a volcanic eruption had an unchanging reddish-brown color. The coolness of the Dark Forest could not be felt at the center of the valley. No verdant and lush plants covering the ground, only barren red soil and an abnormally high temperature.
A few traces of the great battle that had once taken place here remained. The fractured walls and broken ravines seed to describe the story of what once happened here.
On this day, the valley was no longer silent still. Rumbles ca from the depths of its ground, as though an ancient beast was about to erge from it. Long fissures were torn wider and wider by seemingly incorporeal hands. Even the yuan of fire underneath this place of extre fire seed to have been ignited as the temperature inside the valley rapidly soared.
A blurry streak of a human figure was rapidly moving inside the valley. Brilliant rays would constantly erupted from this figure, pulverizing steel-hard rocks to leave imprints after imprints on the ground.
The shadow trail was as though an artist painting his masterpiece. As he rapidly moved about, a bizarre transformation had unwittingly occured to the valley. If soone were to look down from mid-air, they would discover that the channels, holes, and rocks inside the valley had pieced together to form an astonishing, gigantic painting of a soaring dragon!
As electrical sparks shot out, so unknown substances beca part of the gigantic artwork, turning into pignts for the painting.
The ground was still rumbling at this mont. After executing a series of maneuvers, that blurry figure that had been shuttling crisscrossed in the valley finally stomped on a boulder at the center with great montum.
A rumble reverberated through the valley as though a volcano had erupted.
Accompanying the deafening rumbling, the skeleton of an enormous dragon as white as snow slowly erged from the fissures that tore the ground of the valley. Its dragon head, body and tail all perfectly fitted in into that drawing of a dragon. As the dragon skeleton floated up, an even louder rumbling ca from deep underground. The place of extre fire, which had existed for who-knew-how-long and nurtured the treasure of fire attribute, boiled over in an instant. Scorching magma overflowed and imrsed that dragon skeleton.
All of a sudden, that human figure standing proudly in mid-air started pouring an unending stream of assorted substances into the magma. Among them were so colorful bright rocks, pungent, viscous fluids, and many more light rays containing exotic energies.
The magma that oozed from the place of extre fire was incomparably hot. It lted substances of all sorts and dissolved them into the skeleton. That huge skeleton of dragon at the center of the valley actually started to glimr with a dazzling luster, as though the bones of varied thickness possessed the toughness of diamonds.
Buckets and buckets of fresh blood were then copiously poured down by the mysterious figure. When the reeking fresh blood fell on the dragon, fizzing sounds could imdiately be heard, accompanied by thick smoke.
The next mont, a bizarre scene unfolded. Those buckets of blood began to wiggle and wrap around the dragon skeleton as though they gained a life of their own. Blood vessels seed to reconstruct themselves.
After pouring down nurous buckets of fresh blood, the figure suddenly flew over to the head of the dragon and injected a lump of bizarre misty gas into the dragon’s skull.
A bloody light veiled that originally lifeless skeleton and it slowly began to wriggle about!
However, after just a short while, the dragon skeleton stopped wriggling and the squirming bloody lines stopped growing. A huge bloody cocoon wrapped the skeleton completely as it awaited rebirth.
It was only at this mont that the figure who had been busying all the while heaved a long sigh of relief. He shot out a stream of blood from his finger to the bloody cocoon.
The stream of blood that fell on the bloody cocoon was like water droplets falling into the sea, yet it caused not the slightest ripple. At the sa ti, the lifeforce of the dragon wrapped in bloody cocoon grew more and more vigorous. It started sinking deep into the ground bit by bit to silently undergo tamorphosis.
Even as he completed all the necessary procedures, Han Shuo did not relax by the slightest. He calmly observed the transformation to Gilbert’s body while trying to communicate with Gilbert’s soul using his consciousness and the connection between the two.
“Gilbert, are you awake?” Han Shuo transmitted with the energy of his consciousness firmly locked onto that soul inside the skeleton.
Han Shuo waited and waited for so sort of acknowledgent until suddenly, a weak response carrying so amazent ca inquiring from the soul, “Master, is that you?”
Han Shuo drew a smile on his face. When he received the response from Gilbert’s soul, he was genuinely relieved. As long as the soul could respond, everything would be in Han Shuo’s control. This also ant that Gilbert’s soul had acquired a connection with the new body that was still incomplete. With this, the steps to co would be much easier to carry out.
“It’s ! Fortunately, fortunately, my hard work has not been in vain. It appears that there’s no problem overall,” although Han Shuo was gratified in his heart, his consciousness simply could not relax.
“Wahaha... I’m alive... I’m alive again... This is brilliant!” although the ssage was still weak, Gilbert’s excitent nonetheless translated very clearly. “Master, what should I do next?”
“Make the most of your ti. In this period, rapidly adapt and familiarize your soul with the feeling and senses of your new body. Before the cocoon breaks, you must comprehend the energy contained in every piece of your bones in accordance with the mories I left for you. Most importantly, you need to employ all your intelligence to attempt to dissipate the divine energy inside the fragnts of divine essence of darkness scattered in your skeleton. If you can do that, your body will contain the divine energy of darkness. Although not a lot, if you are to carefully comprehend it, you will co to understand its presence and how to obtain it. This will build a solid foundation for you to beco a god of darkness!” Han Shuo calmly commanded.
“Understood, master. To beco stronger, I, Gilbert, will surely make good use of this opportunity!”
“Very good. I’ve investigated intensively before coming to this clever idea of forcing small bits of the divine essence of darkness into your body. I hope that you will live up to my expectations. As long as you grasp onto this opportunity and comprehend the presence and thods of using the divine energy, your path to becoming a god will certainly not be too far away!”
“I will try it imdiately,” Gilbert obviously understood just how great and special an opportunity it was to co by. After finishing those words, Gilbert took the initiative to cut off communication with Han Shuo. As his body slowly sank deeper into the ground, he concentrated his complete attention onto his new body.
Han Shuo felt gratified to see Gilbert being so assiduous. Gilbert must have deeply recognized the importance of strength. Back then, in order to rescue his grandfather and the race of dark dragon, Gilbert and Han Shuo had to hurry to this place of extre fire to obtain the scorching energy contained here. However, as Gilbert did not have sufficient strength, he burned his life force in exchange for a boost in his flying speed beyond what his body could endure. He ended up losing his life in precisely this valley of flas.
For the past few years, Gilbert, with only his soul left, had truly tasted the bitterness of being in solitude. He had stayed inside the perpetually dark Soul Ring all that while, constantly tempering his soul using the thod imparted by Han Shuo. Through his tenacious willpower, he had cultivated his soul to the degree where he could possess another body.
It was precisely because of this that he understood what greater strength would an for him. He had abandoned his vainglorious attitude and pressed ahead in pursuing greater strength! As this was the most critical mont for Gilbert, Han Shuo dared not to be anywhere far from him. He found a boulder nearby and sat cross-legged on it, silently protecting Gilbert while resting to regain the demonic yuan he had exhausted.
At this ti, his avatar had arrived at Lancelot Empire’s Ossen City from Brettel City via transportation matrix.
There weren’t many changes to Ossen City’s landscapes compared to five years ago. The only difference was in the crowd that ca and went. No matter if it was commoners or soldiers, they seed to lack the usual cheerfulness and gaiety. In fact, their faces were dark, solemn, and heavy.
Lancelot Empire wasn’t in an encouraging situation. It had to face the reckless assault from the kingdom of orcs on the southern border while Kasi Empire, backed by the Shrine of Ice, ca pushing in from its west. There had been countless big and small battles during the past several years. The people of Lancelot Empire had co to recognize the cruelty of war. In addition to Lancelot Empire not being the victor of those battles, it was only natural that the populace would feel terrified and scared.
After five years, Han Shuo’s three won had beco the most attention-catching won in the whole of Lancelot Empire, owing to their unordinary backgrounds and their position on the correct side during the civil war.
Emily beca a high-level leader of the Dark Mantle, wielding control over Lancelot Empire’s covert forces. She was the youngest dark sacred magus in Lancelot Empire.
Phoebe too had beco the youngest sacred swordmaster in the empire. As the owner of the Boozt rchant Guild, she possessed the greatest wealth in the empire.
Fanny, the Dean of Necromancy at Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, was herself a necromancy grand magus. She had a terrifying father behind her back.
These three won had always been in the lilight throughout the Lancelot Empire. During the five years that Han Shuo had disappeared, an innurable amount of young, handso, talented n had tried pursuing them. They didn’t at all mind the obvious fact that the three already belonged to Han Shuo. They would even plague the three through various ans with the pretext that Han Shuo had died.
But in fact, all these were because of the ladies’ current positions and power, not to forget their unusually close friendship with Lawrence, the King of Lancelot Empire!
