Although the feeling of being peerless among such a dragon horde was indeed exhilarating, both David and Attilicia knew this critical state could currently only be maintained for a re 103 seconds—less than two minutes of legendary power. No, the first ti Attilicia harnessed electromagnetic turbulence to enter this legendary critical state, he didn’t even reach the theoretical ti limit; a flaout occurred just as he finished transporting the goods, and he panicked.
Upon seeing this, David couldn’t help but sigh. It seed that in any world, "electric cars" simply weren’t as durable as classic "fuel cars."
There was absolutely no ti to return to the Dragon Nest via the original Teleportation Gate.
But just as David, whose critical state was also about to end, prepared to grab his dragon father and take off from the coast to flee across the ocean and escape the pursuers from Dragon Island, another Gold Dragon landed not far from them.
David’s incessantly sweeping tail tip imdiately pointed at the newcor. The blazing Mana Energy upon it was about to be unleashed, and the terrifying mana radiation caused the newcor’s scales to bristle in terror.
With ears flattened back in fear, the newcor prostrated himself, raising his claws, wings, and tail to show he wasn’t with the other dragons.
"Stop, stop, stop! I am here to deliver a ssage from the Dragon Court! Prince David Uthos, Lord Attilicia, Princess Alicia has invited you to the Supre Dragon Court. She states that there are urgent matters requiring your presence to witness them."
It was then that David noticed the young Gold Dragon Priest, Erickson, whom he had t briefly before.
"Princess Alicia? Who’s that?" David asked. He hadn’t heard the na and was completely unprepared to risk this unexpected danger.
"Well, um..." The situation imdiately beca awkward.
Attilicia’s eyes darted around as he quickly leaned in to whisper in David’s ear, "Ahem, Princess Alicia is the youngest yet most beloved daughter of the Silver Dragon King."
David scoffed, "The Silver Dragon King’s daughter, so what? In our current predicant, she herself might not be able to guarantee her own safety."
"Well, um..." Dragon Dad suddenly felt David had a point and didn’t know how to refute him. Moreover, this Red Dragon son of his sotis analyzed situations more rationally than he, a Silver Dragon, did. This made Attilicia, as his father, feel sowhat ashad.
Just as Dragon Dad felt a twinge of regret for missing this "heroic rescue" opportunity and was preparing to leave the perilous Dragon Island with David, they saw an entire troop of the Claw of Justice descending.
Instead of blocking the coastal escape route, they lined up on both sides like two columns of an honor guard, heads held high.
They saw an old familiar dragon, Dakels, approaching with firm steps. He looked deeply at David and his father, gave a solemn nod—a Northwind salute—and said, "We are here by order of Princess Alicia to ensure your safety; we swear on the honor of the Claw of Justice. Of course, Princess Alicia also instructed that if you insist on leaving, we are not to hinder you."
David and his father exchanged looks.
Since Princess Alicia had gone to such lengths at this turbulent juncture, dispatching the Dragon Court Guard—troops that should have been safeguarding her own security—and even having them swear on the honor of the Claw of Justice...
What more could they say?
If he didn’t show respect now, David suspected even his own "Arrogance" would secretly despise him.
The determination and actions of Princess Alicia inevitably sparked a slight interest in David toward this Silver Dragon King’s daughter he had yet to et.
"Lead the way," David said.
Simultaneously, the Legendary Critical state brought on by the Tokamak Fortress ignition effect finally dissipated.
Yet, none of the surrounding dragons realized he was a spent force, assuming instead that he had voluntarily canceled so formidable magic out of respect for Princess Alicia.
「A few minutes later」
David and his father, under the full escort of the Dragon Court Guard, arrived at the Dragon Court, which had been sealed for an entire week. There, they saw Princess Alicia crouching before the Silver Dragon King’s throne.
Her silver scales, buffeted by the ice-cold northern winds, glittered with a frost-like radiance. Her wings were gently folded behind her, each scale flawless, like a finely crafted work of art.
Even David, who had seen and even possessed various female dragons, had to admit that the Princess Alicia before him was the most beautiful dragon he had ever encountered. Her indescribable aura alone was sothing Tania, that little wildcat from Skanis, could never cultivate in two lifetis.
Compared to him, a coarse Red Dragon, Princess Alicia and his own father seed more like father and daughter—no, wait, sisters!
It could only be said that extre beauty always possessed a startling similarity; only ugliness could be so wonderfully diverse, constantly pushing boundaries and shattering perceptions.
David’s invasive gaze, which swept over her like a targeting radar, didn’t seem to bother Alicia. Instead, she offered a faint smile and slowly said, "I am gratified and grateful that you were willing to brave such enormous risks to accept my invitation, David Uthos, and Lord Attilicia."
David, however, flicked his tail as if short on ti. "These are extraordinary tis, so let’s dispense with the formalities. We should get straight to the point, Princess Alicia. Why have you summoned my father and ? Or rather, did the Silver Dragon King leave any instructions before his departure? Whatever it is, if it’s within our power, we will not refuse."
