Chapter 10

Just as Sakavi was waiting for news from Grap, he suddenly felt dozens of magical creatures approaching rapidly. Sensing that the visitors were not well-intentioned, Sakavi made a prompt decision, lifted the golden bed, and escaped into the depths of the swamp through a secret passage.

However, all this was in vain. The opponent flew directly above Sakavi and raised his hand to cast a wind blade.

Seeing that he could not dodge, Sakavi rushed up and fired a water cannon at one of the figures. The opponent clearly did not expect this black dragon to move so swiftly, and the body exploded in the air instantly.

Intense unease prompted Sakavi to leave his position quickly, and then a thunderclap exploded there. In an instant, the spellcaster was hit in the vital parts by dozens of water arrows and drifted down like a kite with a broken string.

"The game ends here, little black dragon. We didn't come to fight you."

Sure enough, what was meant to come had come. Being able to accurately sense Sakavi's location meant the opponent was at least Master Rank, at the same level as Vilanse. Currently, Sakavi could only use Level-8 water magic and could not compete with them.

It seemed the opponent did not intend to kill him, and Sakavi felt there might be room for negotiation.

"What business do you harpies have coming here? Don't tell me you're here as guests; I don't believe that."

"We came to borrow something from you."

"What thing? And what price do you intend to pay?"

"Offspring. The price is the lives of all your dependents. Of course, you can choose to refuse!"

Sakavi had the urge to curse. Chromatic dragons, famous for being lecherous, had always been the ones playing hooligans with others; today, someone actually dared to play the hooligan with him. It was simply turning the world upside down. But he could not win, and if he ran away like this, his dependents would likely all be finished.

Unwilling to return to the pre-liberation state overnight, Sakavi had to accept this almost shameless deal. However, Sakavi stated that he only accepted borrowing seeds from the Master Rank leader, and it must be done here in the Great Swamp; anything else was out of the question, and if they did not agree, they would continue to fight.

After some discussion among the harpies, they agreed to Sakavi's request and produced a signed demonic contract, asking Sakavi to sign it.

After Sakavi carefully checked to ensure there was no tiny text disguised as patterns, and only a few simple lines, he decisively signed his brother Lei En's name.

Just kidding, he was a black dragon known for his cunning; how could he really honestly sign his own name? The signed contract burned without fire, representing that the contract had officially taken effect. Subsequently, the harpies and Sakavi returned to Sakavi's lair together.

After the harpies flew away, Sakavi swore that when he reached adolescence, if he did not wipe out this harpy tribe and drag the leader back as a slave, he would withdraw from the Kadowen plane and never return.

Chromatic dragons enter the juvenile dragon stage at six years old, enter the adolescent stage at sixteen, and officially enter the youth stage at twenty-six.

Dragons entering the adolescent stage have a certain ability to use magic and can subdue relatively powerful races such as harpies and minotaurs.

Chromatic dragons are famous for holding grudges. In Sakavi's dragon heritage, there were many ancestors boasting about how they had persistently sought opportunities to take revenge for a hundred years.

Sakavi, who was in a fit of anger, recently encountered something that made him even angrier: his subordinates reported that the Dragon Cult had come to visit. Sakavi immediately suspected that he was blocked by the harpies because of this group of Dragon Cultists. These brainless guys actually dared to come to his door.

Sakavi immediately indicated that he wanted to teach them a lesson. When he went out and saw that all three of them were Master Rank, he instantly changed to a smiling face, very enthusiastically inviting them in to sit down, eat a meal, and chat.

After some commercial mutual flattery, they entered the main topic. The Dragon Cult wanted Sakavi to go to the Astral Plane to eliminate someone. This person's background was not simple; she was a high-level priest of the Church of Light, one of the most powerful churches in this world.

As for why they wanted to kill her, Sakavi did not intend to delve into the reason. As long as the benefits were in place, it was not impossible to wade into these muddy waters. Sakavi's asking price was an advanced book on necromancy, Legendary Rank or higher, plus an advanced book on the assassin profession at the Master Rank. He would act once the goods arrived.

To this, the Dragon-man Necromancer said this was absolutely impossible. If Sakavi took the benefits and ran, who would they go to for justice?

After Sakavi repeatedly bargained, the human assassin reluctantly took out his "Shadow Fighting Technique." Seeing the other party was so straightforward, Sakavi decided to set off tomorrow to meet this priest who was equal to him in strength.

Coming to the Astral Plane for the first time, Sakavi had the feeling that he had traveled back to the Blue Star. This place seemed no different from the space of the Blue Star. If he had to say, there seemed to be no concept of gravity here, at least Sakavi did not feel any change in gravity.

Casting aside these useless thoughts, Sakavi quickly rushed to the location provided by the Dragon Cult to stake out the target. Perhaps he went too early; he staked out for two whole days before seeing Selina, in her snow-white holy robes, pass by in a hurry.

"Can the bishop sister ahead spare a little of your time?"

Seeing the black dragon lying on the stone not far away, Selina asked doubtfully: "Are you calling me?"

"Of course, young Bishop."

"You misunderstood, I am not a bishop yet, just a priest."

"You will be sooner or later; I am just calling you that in advance."

"Thank you, stranger."

"You're welcome. People like you who are willing to chat with a chromatic dragon are rare."

"I have many chromatic dragons kept in captivity at home, and a few black ones too. I don't think they are scary at all."

"Is that so? Then your family must be very rich. Tell me where your home is; I want to go rob it."

"Hahahaha, you are so fun. You are definitely the most interesting dragon I have ever seen."

"Hmph, hand over the gold coins quickly, or I will kidnap you."

"Oh? How old are you this year?"

"Thirteen. In a few years, I can go out and rob everywhere. How about that? Scared, right!"

"Scared, scared, hahahahaha, you scared me to death, hahahahaha!"

"Let me tell you, I am already twenty years old. You are thinking of doing evil everywhere at such a young age. Watch how I educate you, bad guy, today."

After saying this, Selina picked up her staff and used it as a stick to knock on Sakavi's head. Sakavi turned his head to dodge it and snatched her staff away.

"Hahahaha, today's robbery mission is complete. Miss Priest, shall we go sell this staff and I'll treat you to a meal?"

"If you dare to sell it, I will peel your skin!"

"Is that so? Then do you know how to get to Kanasen City? I want to go there and sell the staff by the way."

"I know, and not only do I know, I live there too."

"That's great. Someone entrusted me to kill someone, and she is also in Kanasen. Her name is Selina Weilincheng. Do you know her?"

"I know her. Not only do I know her, I am very familiar with her. Can you tell me who sent you?"

"It's the Dragon Cult, Miss Priest, my friend. Can I borrow your head for a moment?"

"Of course you can. Come over here, and I will lend it to you!"

After saying this, a holy light spell exploded where Sakavi had just been, and then dozens of holy lights shot over simultaneously. Sakavi, unable to dodge in time, was hit by three of them.

Looking at his pierced body, Sakavi took out a potion and drank it, then said: "Miss Priest, I admit you are very talented, but the game ends here."

After saying this, a spike suddenly rose from the ground beneath Selina, but it was suddenly shattered by holy light. Then hundreds of water arrows headed straight for her vitals. A holy light shield immediately lit up, blocking the fatal blow.

However, the water arrows that lost their momentum suddenly heated up rapidly and exploded. At this critical moment, Selina's necklace suddenly lit up, and Selina was instantly transferred ten kilometers away.

However, this life-saving treasure given by her family could only delay time. Just as Selina intended to contact the guards of Kanasen City, a huge mud hand suddenly rose from the ground and slapped toward Selina. Without her staff, Selina did not have many spells she could use and could only use holy light rays to attack. However, was it really like that?

After a holy light shattered the mud hand, Sakavi's roar, mixed with dragon might, made Selina lose consciousness for a moment. When she came to her senses, a huge dragon claw was already less than half a meter away from her.

"Go to hell!"

Selina said, tearing open a scroll, and a violent flame exploded instantly. Sakavi, unable to dodge in time, could only cast a water shield on himself. After the explosion, Selina was transferred ten kilometers away again, while Sakavi was scorched black all over, and his left hand was blown off by the violent explosion.

Sakavi did not intend to give up just like that. He picked up his left hand and continued to pursue. Under Sakavi's constant consumption, Selina gradually ran out of strength and finally collapsed from exhaustion. After confirming that Selina could no longer use holy light magic, Sakavi landed beside her.

"Miss Priest, here is your staff back."

"Thank you! You vicious black dragon, you had better be careful. If I die, the Weilincheng family in Kanasen will hunt you to the ends of the earth."

"Sorry, I don't want to kill you, and I don't want to be an enemy of your family, but I must seize every opportunity to move up. I don't have as many resources and connections as you."

"Is this the reason you deceived a friend? That is truly ridiculous."

"You must die today. Leaving your body intact, and there are no wounds on you; this is the limit of what I can do. Any last words?"

"Last words? If there are any, it is to ask my father to peel your skin in front of my grave after he catches you."

"Okay, I will definitely pass that on. I have already sent a message to your family, and someone will come to collect your body soon. You can go to the Kingdom of God of Noldo in peace."

After confirming that the people from Kanasen had arrived at the scene, Sakavi left quietly. The price this time was a bit high, and for the next few years, he would have to hide out to avoid the limelight.

When he was hidden, Sakavi immediately ordered Gop to go and demand his reward, warning them that they could choose not to give it, but Sakavi had plenty of time to deal with the three of them.

After successfully obtaining the "Withering Spell," Sakavi took Gop and hid in the underworld of a medium-sized plane. Sakavi intended to break through to the Master Rank before coming out.

According to the information Gop asked about on the Astral Plane black market, Kanasen Weilincheng was just a Legendary thief. Once he reached the Master Rank, he could trade a few moves with him before running away.
