"Ssssssss! I really can't believe it! That divine bitch actually colluded with the blood rats? Those blood rats also worked with her? What the hell is happening with the world?"
The draconian princess shook her head in confusion. "It looks like everything has turned upside down in the ti that I was imprisoned!"
Liam nodded. "So it is possible that she coordinated with so undead too?"
"Hmmm… I am not sure. Working together with the blood rats is one thing, but the undead…"
"Huh?"
"Argh. I forgot that you don't know anything about any of the politics. Listen, brat. We don't have the ti right now for to tell you the whole story. Let's just say that the blood rats call themselves noble."
"Okay…"
"Yes. Yes. Those idiots claim a lot of things… ancient lineage… noble bloodline… first progenitor… blah di blah… So working together with these blood rats is one thing, but I am very sure that the divine bitch wouldn't go as low as to collude with a nether realm lowly creature. Unless…"
"Unless?"
"Unless the blood rats are still working with her, and they contacted the undead on her behalf." The draconian princess clicked her tongue and looked at Liam with a bright golden glint swimming in her crimson eyes. "Yup. Yup. This is what should have happened."
Liam sucked in a breath and let the nether-tinged air fill his lungs. He closed his eyes, feeling the weariness in his body wash away a little, and then spoke. "The thing is… if she is behind it or not, it matters only a little."
"Hmm…
"This is sothing that I have to overco one day or the other. I cannot move ahead without dealing with this."
"I agree. This is a flaw in your foundation itself. You are not going anywhere without dealing with this, but you do understand that this won't be so simple, right?"
"Yes. You already said that. The limit breaker fruit is not that easy to find."
The draconian princess shook her head. "Of course. That is one obstacle, but there are places where you can get your hands on that fruit. The real problem will start once you consu the fruit. Do you even know what to do after that?"
"I haven't thought about that yet." Liam smiled bitterly. Knowledge was one thing he was severely lacking.
"Sigh. Brat, be prepared to walk on a path of thorns. If you had a choice, I would have asked you to forgo your nether cultivation, but you don't have a choice."
"Heavy is the head that wears the crown." The draconian princess humd.
There was a strange lancholic look on her face as she said it, which made Liam wonder who she was really talking about. However, the draconian princess continued on.
"If you choose this path, it will either take you to great heights or you will entirely crumble. Even if you manage to succeed sohow, others will not let you be."
"You will only attract the ire of countless n. They will want to bring you down and constantly stand in your way. They will never let you be in peace. They will hunt you down and all of your loved ones."
"By them, you an?" Liam probed, but his voice startled the draconian princess, and she quickly snapped out of the trance-like state she was in.
"Ahem. Nothing. I was just talking in general. As you grow more powerful, so will your enemies. That divine bitch won't be the only one behind you."
"I see."
The two of them then remained silent for a while, after which the draconian princess suddenly let out a sigh and stood up.
"Well, brat. It looks like you are incredibly lucky. Alone, you would have died naless and formless. Sohow, you have now. The path ahead is difficult, but this big sister will guide you through it."
The woman then started laughing all on her own, giving off a very villainous vibe.
"This is good! This is aweso! Our enemies are going to tremble! We are going to slay everyone who has ever bothered us. I will help you, and in turn, you will beco my sword!"
"We both shall-"
While the rant went on, Liam chuckled lightly, and his mind wandered to sothing else. He couldn't help but think back to the new skill he had used back when he was fighting the Ison King.
He had obviously gained the skill from the two dragon souls he had consud, but he had no idea why or how it happened.
Ever since the fight, this had been bugging him, especially because he currently possessed several powerful minions, including the six vampire generals, who each possessed a unique skill.
While the Limit Breaker might be one way to get around his problem, Liam did not want to rule out other options, such as the powerful regeneration skill one of the vampires possessed.
His mind was already going through the list of other minions in his possession who had valuable skills that he could steal for himself. This was sothing he needed to investigate further.
Liam rubbed his chin and then let out another sigh as he heard the dragon lady still rambling on. "Are you done yet?" He shook his head helplessly.
The woman's eyes went wide. "Brat, you need to learn to show so respect to your seniors!"
"Okay. So you said there were so places where we could get our hands on this Limit Breaker fruit? Where might that be?"
"Heh? How would that be so easy? It's a priceless treasure, you arrogant child. It's not sothing that is available in your world. We need to go sowhere else for that, and you are not strong enough for it just yet."
"What do you an?" Liam raised a brow.
"I an, you are not strong enough to survive a void teleportation skill. That is the only way we can realm jump and go to the place we need to."
