"Are you okay?" David asked ry.
"Don't worry," she replied.
She knelt by the river, washed her face and even drank the water.
"Mm, it's refreshing," she said, looking rather amazed.
David was curious, so he also took so water from the river with both palms and drank it.
Sure enough, it was surprisingly refreshing, cool and sowhat sweet.
David drank so more to quench his thirst.
He felt very energized after drinking the river water.
After that, he finally walked towards the dragon skeleton.
It was finally completely dead, but although the light was faint, it was indeed still glowing.
The light probably didn't co from energy, but the pure light of the skeleton.
David touched it, and found the hazard to be extrely hard.
It was the hardest thing he had ever touched. He was able to make it crack only because he was using Excalibur which is very sharp by nature. Otherwise, even a nuclear blast probably couldn't scratch it. David couldn't imagine how strong the dragon that owned the skeleton was when it was alive with flesh and strength. It could probably destroy a mountain with one blow.
David started trying to asure its length.
Just from its head to its feet, it was probably about 50 ters long. Coupled with its tail, it could be up to a hundred ters long.
Surely it would be bigger when it had at. It might be the equivalent of a football field.
If such a creature appeared on earth now, the excitent would be unimaginable.
ry also touched the skeleton, observing its head.
"What can I do with this skeleton?" David asked ry.
"It's a priceless treasure," ry replied, continuing to show an expression of amazent.
Unfortunately, her words gave David no answer.
However, David chose to remain silent and wait, knowing that ry was still in a state of not being able to answer.
After a while, she finally cald down enough.
"David, helping to purify the blood of the Deities is just the basic benefit of the bones of ancient creatures. They are used for that because usually people only get a small amount of them, like the ones we found in that hole." ry began to explain.
"For an intact skeleton like this, especially a deity-level skeleton, we can make it into a puppet. Even more than that, making them into weapons or armor is also possible. However, it is best to replace your own bones with those of a deity. That will increase your strength drastically, and extend your lifespan. You will also have an extrely strong physique that is not easy to harm."
"Replace my own bones with soone else's?" David was imdiately intrigued by that, sowhat incredulous that it could be done.
His bones were mortal while the bones of the deities were clearly bones with divine power. Ti could not corrupt them. Its power may be depleted but not its light. It will continue to shine until the world is destroyed.
"Wait, this skeleton is a dragon bone, is it possible to use it for humans?" he asked as he realized there was a difference in form.
"It can, of course, and it might be able to make you transform into a dragon," ry replied.
"Does that an I'm forever in dragon form?" David showed a strange expression when he heard that.
"Of course, no. I an you can be a dragon and you can be human. However, I can't say that there are no bad side effects for you as a human." ry replied.
David rolled his eyes when he heard about side effects.
It was sothing he least wanted to encounter.
His power was already too good, he didn't want things to get ssed up because of a side effect.
"Maybe making it into a puppet is a better option," ry said again.
"I heard that a skeleton puppet can be developed until it has flesh again and even becos alive again but has a consciousness under the consciousness of its controller. The process is long and it takes a lot of divine blood to restore its flesh. However, when it has flesh intact, its power will reach an unimaginable level. It may be equivalent to the power when it was alive."
"Then how do I make this skeleton my puppet?" asked David.
"That requires the help of others, but you don't have to worry, Miss Erza can help you," replied ry, smiling slightly.
"It's just that I'm not sure how we're going to carry it," she added when she saw how big the skeleton was.
That was also what confused David.
Not to ntion carrying it, getting it out of this place was also a very difficult matter. After all, it was much bigger than the cave that the river passed through.
Like it or not, David needed the help of humans and various equipnt. Of course, the simpler way was to make the process of turning the skeleton into a puppet here much easier. The strength of the skeleton could probably be relied upon to crush the mine above so that the skeleton could co out. The point was just to give the skeleton enough energy.
However, they still had to summon Erza here.
David stopped thinking about that for a while and stared at the pile of gold behind the skeleton.
When staring at the gold again, his eyes couldn't help but shine. This was too much treasure. They consisted of jewelry and gold coins. It was said that dragons liked to collect glittering treasures, it seed to be true. David wondered how much all that gold was worth in dollars.
"That iron chest must be hiding sothing more valuable." ry suddenly said.
She didn't seem the least bit interested in the pile of gold, only that the iron chest was actually rusted.
It was padlocked with a golden key, still closed very tightly.
David, who was also curious, lifted his Excalibur up slightly, ready to cut the lock.
Shua!
He slashed Excalibur at the lock with all his might because he thought it wouldn't be easy to break it. He even doubted that it could be destroyed without Excalibur.
The dragon must have guarded his most precious treasure very carefully.
BANG!
The iron chest was violently shaken while the lock instantly cracked until it broke into countless small pieces.
It was unfortunately still unable to withstand Excalibur's sharpness.
Click!
The chest opened slightly, and suddenly, a sharp light emanated from within, enough to pierce David's eyes.
He had to close his eyes for a while.
Fortunately, the light dimd in no ti.
David was careful not to touch the vault directly.
He used Excalibur to open it.
Shua!
The iron chest opened, revealing its amazing contents.
It was indeed amazing, leaving David and ry srized.
There were all sorts of objects inside the chest, from a jeweled cup, a crown that seed to have once been used by an incomparable emperor, to a golden robe with the emblem of the Dragon and Phoenix. Each exuded an extraordinary majestic aura. It was an aura that was already thin, but it seed to last forever.
All three still looked ordinary compared to the other objects.
David saw a silver knife with a curved shape.
When he saw the tip, David felt like his throat had been ripped out.
These were all obviously very valuable artifacts. Perhaps they were once used by great figures, then collected by the dragon.
As David continued to observe, ry suddenly reached her hand into the iron chest, taking out three neatly arranged rings.
"David, you hit the biggest jackpot," she said.
"What's with those rings?" David asked ry.
At first glance, the rings appeared to be ordinary objects, quite unlike anything else.
However, it was impossible for the rings to be ordinary objects and for the dragon to put them inside the iron chest. They must have so special value.
"These rings are legendary Artifacts of Space," ry replied, sounding excited. "You know, they're sotis called Storage Rings in eastern novels, artifacts with frozen space inside."
"So sothing like that really exists?" David was quite surprised after hearing ry's explanation.
He couldn't help but take one ring from her hand, wanting to examine it for himself.
When he touched it, he imdiately felt a connection with the ring. With his mind, he could look into it or put objects into it.
What he saw inside the ring was truly incredible. He saw an empty space similar to space, extrely vast, perhaps equivalent to the area of a city.
"What a stroke of luck!" David couldn't say anything to describe his own luck. All he could do was smile faintly in delight.
He imdiately put the ring on his finger.
Right after that, ry handed one of the rings in her hand to David.
"I'll keep one, you can give this to anyone," she said.
David smiled wryly at her words.
"You really know what I need," he said.
It was perfect to give it to Jane who had basically changed his life.
"What about it? Are you going to use it or give it to Erza?" David asked while looking at the ring on ry's hand.
She didn't use it, but actually put it in her pants pocket.
What did that an? Did she not want it?
ry didn't answer and didn't argue, indicating that David's guess was correct.
David didn't know what to say.
He thought she needed to be freed from this kind of bondage.
It wasn't that Erza forced her to continue serving her, it was just that ry seed to want to do everything for her.
