Chapter 91: Demon Dragon

Luen looked up toward the ceiling.

He could faintly sense the surging magical fluctuations above.

But the spell barrier laid down to prevent the dragon soul from escaping had largely cut off his perception.

"Rita, is it ready?"

Rita, with her dark-red long hair, had her head buried in a circular magic array whose patterns were obscure.

A fine sheen of sweat covered her forehead, her eyes tightly shut.

Clearly she was in the middle of an intense operation.

"Don't rush me—it's escaping too fast!"

Luen decided not to disturb her any further.

He wasn't worried about the situation above; six peak sixth-tier students of Bahadur were already enough to constitute a high-end fighting force on the continent.

Out of boredom, he felt the archaic ring in his hand.

He called out tentatively, "Teacher?"

The ring showed no response whatsoever.

Luen let out a deep sigh.

As the sole person with a complete inheritance of the 【Giant Dragon Ming Xiang Fa】, the importance of the dragon soul to him went without saying.

And his teacher, unable to obtain a high-level pass, had willingly used a forbidden Mi Fa, combined with the temple's foundational ritual, and at the cost of falling into slumber, had successfully pinpointed the dragon soul's location.

At this moment, the teacher who had always been by his side was absent.

Luen truly fell into a feeling of loneliness.

"Teacher, I will definitely wake you as soon as possible."

Buzz buzz buzz—

The temple above began to shake violently.

"What on earth are Bert and the others doing?"

Luen figured they were up to some experiment or game again.

As seniors of the Dragon Interest Society, those six formed a small clique and often acted together.

Their goal was to use bio-weaving to create an artificial giant dragon.

The dragon-like creatures that frequently appeared within the academy were all their handiwork.

Luen still recalled how, not long ago, they had abducted a juvenile two-headed ogre and, using bio-weaving, transplanted its fire-burst stomach sac into its throat, attempting to recreate the feat of dragon breath.

Unfortunately, it ended in failure.

The catfolk tribe that served as the testing ground was blasted apart by the fire burst, with heavy casualties.

The field staff of the Magic Control Union soon discovered the matter and hauled them into court.

However, under Bahadur's pressure, the case was quickly swept under the rug.

They often took pride in it, even publishing the experimental results in the academy newspaper, drawing resonance and cheers from a crowd.

"Got it!"

Rita beside him cried out in surprise.

Hearing her, Luen's face lit up with joy.

"Use the Anwo Sect method I taught you—pull it out."

Boom!!!

Another tremor came from the temple.

Only this time, it was closer than any before.

Both were startled and looked up at the same time.

They saw a large hole smashed open in the brick wall above.

An armored figure wreathed in purple-pink vengeful fire plummeted down without hesitation.

With a thunderous crash, it stomped hard onto the barrier.

The barrier began to shake violently.

At the same time, vengeful fire erupted beneath the armored figure's feet, rapidly corroding the barrier's magic.

Luen's face changed.

He hurriedly urged, "Quick, pull the dragon soul out!"

There was still a chance!

As long as he pulled the dragon soul out, he could assist with the Ming Xiang Fa to seal it away swiftly.

No need to rush to devour it—just use the magic ring's spatial shift to leave; what was there to fear about the dragon soul getting away?

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Stop rushing me! I'm trying!"

"Damn it! Useless trash!"

Luen immediately moved to the operating array of the positional barrier and tossed down several Mei Mo Fa rings for sacrifice.

The barrier immediately solidified a few degrees more.

"Heh heh."

A burst of laughter came from the armored figure above.

"I was just playing with you, and you actually took it seriously."

Having said that, the jagged greatsword in his hand swung violently.

The fire sword, extended by vengeful fire, instantly pierced through the section that hadn't yet been reinforced, and a massive crack was torn open in the barrier!

The fire sword kept swinging, its reach sweeping down toward Luen below.

In the blink of an eye, his spell shield shattered before he could even react.

"Eh?"

No pain.

He only felt suddenly unable to keep his balance, and collapsed onto the ground.

"Hurgh."

His vision began to blur.

He saw blood pooled all over the ground.

And the other half of his own body.

"Dragon... dragon soul, fortune... revenge... Etheron..."

He uttered meaningless mumbles.

Luen suddenly recalled what his teacher had once said — that his fortune was plummeting fast.

He hadn't even taken it seriously back then.

But at this very moment, he finally understood.

Fortune would not endlessly favor the same person.

"Aaaah!!!!"

Ritta's eyes nearly split with rage, and she let out a shrill, resentful, wretched scream!

Rod swung his hand and slashed away a magic missile.

"So it's you, mage — daring to steal the dragon soul."

He had never taken a mere fourth-tier little thing seriously; after casually cutting it down, he charged straight at this sixth-tier mage.

In Rod's view, the one who had stolen the dragon soul was more likely the woman before him.

The greatsword swung out, easily slicing through her spell shield.

The serrated edge tore through flesh and blood, cleaving open her chest cavity.

Dragging her entrails out along with it.

Ritta was immediately flung to the ground like a rag.

"Ugh, that's a bit disgusting."

【Grudge +300】

【Grudge +100】

Unexpectedly, the fourth-tier one actually yielded more grudge than the sixth-tier.

Looking at the two who couldn't possibly be any deader.

Rod picked up their spell pouches while connecting to the 【Far Voice Chain】.

"All done, Naolin."

"Oh, thank you."

The other side expressed thanks.

Then fell into a long silence.

"What? You want to back out?"

"N-no, it's just... this is my first time... I'm a little nervous."

At that moment, Rod's gaze swept across a simple, ancient-looking ring on the fourth-tier's finger.

He was just about to take it into his hand.

But he hadn't controlled his strength well in this state, and accidentally crushed it.

With a whoosh, a wisp of spirituality dispersed into the air and vanished.

"Ugh, please tell me that wasn't some treasure."

He dismissed 【Wails of Heaven-Shaking Grief】.

Returning to his human form, what was infuriating was that his clothes had all been stretched to bursting.

Directly leaving him completely naked.

"Ah!!"

Naolin suddenly panicked and shrieked, "Wh-what are you doing, not putting on clothes!"

Rod curled his lip.

He wasn't in any rush to put his clothes on.

"Cut the nonsense, come out and keep your promise!"

"... Could you put your clothes on first? My mom told me that looking at a man's... there will make you grow lumps."

"No! Come out now!"

"Oh."

Having said that.

From the formation beneath the ground, a translucent figure slowly emerged.

It was a girl wearing a black spaghetti-strap dress, her features exquisitely beautiful.

Her figure was petite, her chest only slightly swelling; atop her head were two spiral dragon horns, and a thick dragon tail extended from beneath her dress, swaying unsteadily in midair.

On her snow-white skin, scattered black dragon scales could be seen crisscrossing here and there.

At this moment, she covered her eyes with both hands, trembling as she floated out.

"A petite body type, huh."

Rod was a little disappointed.

He had been hoping for a mature older sister with a voluptuous figure.

【Nu Yi Cheng Gong】

【Enslavement Target 6: Nolin. H. S. PQM】

【Race: Cursed Dragon】

【Age: 12638】

【Obedience: 45】

【Evaluation: As one of the extremely rare Cursed Dragons in the universe, Nolin lost her dragon body in a battle, and happened to be drawn to the spatial rift opened by the labyrinth, thus straying onto the continent, unable to return home.】

"No."

Age 12638?

Watching Nolin quietly peek through the gaps between her fingers, then blush and close them again, Rod fell into thought.

It really is a mature older sister.
