"I was once cursed, and in order to dispel my curse, my people caused to forget many important mories, including her na and appearance... My hatred is no longer engraved in my bones, but my anger has not been extinguished! All I want is his death, it doesn’t matter who carries it out!"
The fire dragon’s voice was low, as he stared intently at the City of Dawn Light, and continued, "In this regard, I also have a problem, I am too impatient."
So impatient that as soon as he had returned to his own world, he thought of asking Zheng Yichen for help with his revenge. Although Zheng Yichen himself had needs— he needed to hunt stronger beings to recover from his life essence injuries and to beco stronger—a mutual agreent was reached, with one seeking revenge and the other looking to level up by defeating monsters.
However, as the chief plotter, Klakauska admitted his lack of adequate preparation and planning, so much so that the problem of ’hitting a wall’ erged at this point; his people were also unable to provide any further assistance with this matter.
It seed that waiting was the best choice now. Who doesn’t have a mont of vulnerability?
"What are you doing?" Klakauska, who had decided to wait, saw Zheng Yichen shaping a White Light Blade in his hand.
"Waiting is so boring, let’s create sothing good to draw them out."
"...Uh, won’t that be too obvious?" Klakauska asked hesitantly, "Demigods are not fools, they should be able to see through a trap, right?"
"So what if they see it? The key is whether they want it or not!" Zheng Yichen said as he directly slit open his own arm. Under strong muscle control and the protection of white light, the wound was covered with a thin mbrane of light, and not a single drop of blood flowed out.
Afterward, Klakauska saw Zheng Yichen bump his own bone. With a crisp ’ding’, Klakauska’s mouth twitched. He knew Zheng Yichen was tough, but watching this now made him inwardly apprehensive.
Is he really that sturdy?
During battles with other demigods, Zheng Yichen’s White Light Blade often went right through them.
Under Zheng Yichen’s subsequent manipulation, a rift was made on the bone of his arm, and a half-material substance like ruby flowed out. Klakauska felt his eyeballs nearly pop out—his life instinct was crazily calling him to seize that substance!
Under the intense gaze of the fire dragon, the red substance that flowed out was enveloped by white light and solidified into a fist-sized ’gem’.
"...What a way to handmake a Life treasure!" Klakauska’s mouth twitched slightly as he stared at the Essence of Life wrapped in white light in Zheng Yichen’s hand. Even though it was isolated, he could feel his own body instinctively restless.
If he consud this thing, even if it polluted his bloodline and he might transform into sothing else, his lifeform level would certainly leap forward trendously.
"This thing can’t really be treated as a Life treasure." Zheng Yichen imdiately shook his head. He was no stranger to Ahn Ke’s experints and understood a bit, even if not an expert. The Essence of Life in his hand was what he accumulated from the surplus Life Force after defeating demigods.
It was sothing stored temporarily after breaking through his own Life Force limit, and squeezing it out did not bring any negative impact to him, just ant that his over-limit health bar would slowly return to its normal maximum.
He would have no issue consuming this; drawing his own blood to reinfuse back into himself was just as ineffective. But for others, using this substance was a completely different story.
"This thing is worth at least a full demigod’s Life Force."
"That’s why I find it ridiculous!" Klakauska smacked his lips, "I’m just a bit curious, what kind of being would I beco if I consud this thing?"
He didn’t believe that he could imdiately beco a being like a demigod after consuming it. Essence of Life was a crystallization of Life Force, not a special energy crystal. This substance healed and raised the maximum health bar, with little to do with the mana bar.
"You might be twisted into a half-dragon hominid? Assuming you don’t mutate into so other monster."
"...That doesn’t sound too bad."
"Be rational, this thing has already clouded your vision." Zheng Yichen stored away the Essence of Life gem in his hand, looking at Klakauska, whose eyes were beginning to glaze over. He shaped the righteous white light into a stick and hit the fire dragon on the head with it.
The fire dragon scread in pain, clutching his head and rolling on the ground. The wound on Zheng Yichen’s arm, pulled by white light, closed quickly as if being zipped up, leaving no trace in the end.
He nodded in satisfaction at this.
After a while, the fire dragon on the ground who had been screaming managed to recover. "Cough, cough, I got a little excited just now, but I’m fine now. This thing could work as bait to attract that demigod, but we need to do so other preparations."
Klakauska spoke as he reactivated the Secret Technique that had previously been interrupted. Throughout this ti, the people of the Dragon Tribe had been trying to reestablish contact with him.
"Klakauska! You... you haven’t done anything impulsive, have you?" An angry voice ca through using a Secret Technique.
"I haven’t had the chance to do so yet. No need for the little mother dragon now, I need sothing else—wait for a mont," Klakauska used the Secret Technique he was maintaining to ’scan’ the Essence of Life gemstone in Zheng Yichen’s hand, "I plan to use this thing as bait to get your side’s alchemy master to help handle it remotely."
"...I think, with that thing, you could directly hire soone to ’invite’ that Demigod out. I believe so Demigods would be very willing to do so."
After a while, another dragon’s voice ca through.
Klakauska spoke with confidence, "That won’t do, it’s too wasteful of ti. Just use this kind of thing as bait. If you can’t handle it with this, then our connection ends here!"
"Cough, if we have that thing, then of course there’s a way," the other dragon replied.
The other dragon communicating with the fire dragon through the Secret Technique locked onto the Essence of Life crystal. Klakauska’s enemy’s power and life were related, but they were not from the Demigods of the Order Faction.
This was quite normal—although so Demigods’ bloodlines originated from the True Gods of the Order Faction, there were those who joined the Evil and Chaotic Faction, though in small numbers.
Demigod Kraywatt counted as one of such cases... but was not entirely aligned with the Evil Faction. Otherwise, he would have faced pressure from the opposing faction, like the True God from which his bloodline originated. What if a disappointing child acted out before the father even took a stand, and defected first?
Generally, such beings stayed within neutral bounds, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to linger peacefully in the City of Dawn Light.
As a Demigod with a Life Divinity bloodline, the Essence of Life crystal in Zheng Yichen’s hand was extrely attractive to the other party. A slight manipulation could indeed lure them out, and the Dragon Tribe had even thought of a good excuse for it.
"Hmm, this thing isn’t easy to handle remotely; you’d better co to Cardanas first. It won’t delay you for long."
"Let’s go," Zheng Yichen decisively told the fire dragon.
The fire dragon clicked his tongue in discontent but didn’t say anything else. He followed Zheng Yichen and left, using flight magic. In fact, he wished to take a car too, but sohow the ’spirit’ of that car didn’t seem to welco him very much.
In Canardis, upon arrival, Zheng Yichen was imdiately eyed by a green dragon, who regretfully said, "Pity I am not a mother dragon, or else I would be willing to help in exchange for that thing."
Zheng Yichen did not respond. His thermal vision allowed him to see an extrely special heat source on the green dragon—it wasn’t typical of normal creatures. Since arriving in this world, he had only seen such on Demigods. This green dragon was also a Demigod, or at the very least, a Divinity creature.
He also noticed that Klakauska had beco quite well-behaved after this green dragon’s arrival.
"Just call Garel," the green dragon said, and started leading the way. Zheng Yichen noticed an unusual power pervasive in the surrounding environnt, which concealed their presence from everyone in the Dragon Tribe Territory, including those of dragonkind.
As the green dragon moved forward, its body underwent changes. In less than ten seconds, the dragon transford into a genteel middle-aged man with clothes—quite an achievent compared to Klakauska, who would be bare after transforming. Zheng Yichen had to remind him to fashion a few balls of fla to act as cover-up. Moreover, the green dragon easily carried the green hair with charisma.
Looking at Green Dragon Garel’s humanoid form, Zheng Yichen’s first impression wasn’t ’Wow, that green really suits you’.
"Six seconds," Klakauska whispered next to Zheng Yichen.
"You can’t even make sixty seconds now," Zheng Yichen certainly knew what Klakauska ant. The green dragon had transford into human form through Transformation technique in six seconds, even with a complete and fitted outfit.
"How long have I learned Transformation technique...?" the fire dragon muttered under his breath, "Garel is one of the finest in the Dragon Tribe. Give a hundred... a thousand years and I still wouldn’t be able to compare."
"Hahaha, it won’t take that long, you’re doing fine," Garel laughed, sizing up Klakauska before shaking his head regretfully, "There’s only so much the Dragon Tribe can directly do in this matter; let’s hope it ends smoothly."
He didn’t advise Klakauska to abandon revenge—that wasn’t in the realm of possibility. Persuading soone to give up vengeance? The Dragon Tribe doesn’t entertain such sanctimonious nonsense, especially since this wasn’t just Klakauska’s personal vendetta; it was tied to the Dragon Tribe as a whole. Therefore, even though the Dragon Tribe couldn’t openly do much, they didn’t withhold their support in the shadows.
It wasn’t because of Klakauska’s sowhat over-the-top request not long ago.
Telling Klakauska to bide his ti wasn’t just for show. By choosing to wait, the Dragon Tribe would keep an eye on Demigod Kraywatt. The mont Kraywatt left the City of Dawn Light, Klakauska would receive the news firsthand.
It wasn’t necessary for the fire dragon to keep a watchful, vengeful vigil every day.
