Adrian arrived in what might look like a grotto that is serene and peaceful. Clear skies and sunlight could be seen on top as if the building they entered was not a spire earlier. Adrian looked around to look for Haji and he was unmoving from his spot in a lying down position.
Adrian checked if Haji has died, and he was relieved that he was just sleeping. Still, Adrian knew that he was not sleeping due to an external factor but to an internal factor. He was sleeping due to shock as his human body is not used to suddenly skipping through space.
Adrian has learned from his guild mbers that they would feel uneasy or even heavily nauseous when they teleport with him the first ti. If the ga permitted their characters to barf, then they would have already done so. Adrian thought that NPCs would have higher tolerance, but Haji just proved that he was wrong.
"Strange? Yuko was able to easily hop between dinsions with when we played together. Does this an that she has a stronger bearing because of the incidents of her soul separating with her body?" Adrian muttered as he just let Haji lie down and rest.
"I thought you have already forgotten about my existence that you no longer stared at ." An old man that has grayish long hair and pure blue eyes looked at Adrian.
"You must be the Azure Dragon, Seiryu. The Vermillion Bird Suzaku has told all about you as I do not want to do sothing that might offend you. Also, I did not ignore you as you have surmised. I rely checked my companion as it would leave a bitter taste in my mouth if he were to die with . His daughter is kind of like my godchild in a way." Adrian stated.
"Interesting as the Vermillion Bird has said. You also have her heart which ans that she trusts you fully." The Azure Dragon stated as he was able to look at the beating heart of the Vermillion Bird hidden near his core.
"If you can see that then you are as powerful as I thought you would be. It is also the reason why those gods are not doing anything in the eastern continent." Adrian stated as anyone that can see through him is as powerful as a greater god at the very least.
"I know what you are here for, Champion Equinox. Haji has already told that you requested the Lodestone Heart in my possession. Why do you need it when demons do not have the power to harness the power of the elents?" The Azure Dragon stated.
"I need it to evolve one of my soulbounds. It is one of the ingredients necessary for him to beco stronger. I do not need to tell you why I need to beco stronger as the waves of power has split across the continents. I am sure that all of you felt the power of a High God descending to the world." Adrian stated.
"I have felt the power of that High God, but she cannot cross the waters here as she would awaken the primal forces asleep in the waters. She would not dare to be careless as she knows that even she will not be able to easily deal with them." The Azure Dragon stated.
"I do not really care if she cannot cross the waters, but I do need the Lodestone Heart as you have promised. Please give it to as I do not want to waste anymore ti." Adrian stated as he knows that Haji was already told that the Lodestone Heart would be given to him if he cos with the demon.
"Unfortunately, I cannot give it to you." The Azure Dragon stated.
"Then you are a liar and soone that breaks their vows. Is that not extrely embarrassing for soone that lives here in the eastern continent? Also, you are one of their gods so not keeping your promise would be a great sha to your reputation." Adrian stated.
As soon as Adrian said that the Azure Dragon was a liar, the serene skies above suddenly darkened as lightning and dark clouds rolled over. The peaceful grotto suddenly had a different feel as if everything was dreary. Adrian knew why this happened because he and Haji were no longer connected fully to the mortal realm.
"This is your divine realm or semi-divine realm as you have tethered it to your palace." Adrian stated.
"If you know then how dare you call a liar and dishonorable? I can easily delete you out of existence as you easily walked into my divine realm!" The Azure Dragon stated.
"I went in because I am confident. Should you do sothing to then the Vermillion Bird would have sothing to say to you as she is also listening to this conversation right now. Please give the Lodestone Heart as promised." Adrian stated as he felt the presence of the Vermillion Bird from behind him.
"I cannot give it to you." The Azure Dragon stated.
"What do you an you cannot give it to ? Did it get stolen? If it did then this place has laxer security than I thought." Adrian stated.
"I just do not want to give it." The Azure Dragon stated as he crossed his arms and pouted which is not becoming for a being that took the form of an old man.
"He is a hoarder, Equinox. He is not giving it to you because he likes to collect things even if he does not have any use for them. Even when we need sothing from him, it would take a year at the very least to convince him to part ways with it." The voice of the Vermillion Bird echoed inside of Adrian's head.
"I see. What can I do so that he will give the item that I need? I am already running out of ti." Adrian stated.
"Do this…" The Vermillion Bird stated.
