Chapter 91: Demon Dragon

Lu En looked up at the ceiling.

He faintly sensed turbulent magical fluctuations above.

But the spell barrier set up to prevent the Dragon Soul from escaping severely blocked his perception.

“Rita, are you done?”

Rita, with her deep red hair, was bent over a circular magical array with obscure patterns.

Beads of sweat dotted her forehead; her eyes were tightly shut.

Clearly, she was in the midst of intense operation.

“Don’t rush me—it’s moving too fast!”

Lu En then refrained from disturbing her further.

He wasn’t worried about the situation above; six sixth-rank peak Bahadur students were more than enough to qualify as top-tier combat power on the continent.

Bored, he rubbed the ancient ring in his hand.

He tentatively called out: “Teacher?”

The ring gave no response.

Lu En let out a deep sigh.

As the only person with the complete [Great Dragon Meditation Method] lineage, the Dragon Soul’s importance to him was self-evident.

And his teacher, unable to obtain a high-level pass, willingly used a forbidden secret technique, combined with the temple’s foundational ritual, at the cost of falling into slumber, to successfully locate the Dragon Soul’s position.

Now, his longtime companion, the teacher, was gone.

Lu En truly fell into a feeling of loneliness.

“Teacher, I will surely wake you up as soon as possible.”

Hummm—

The temple above erupted in violent tremors.

“What the hell are Bert and the others doing?”

Lu En assumed they were conducting yet another experiment or game.

As seniors of the Dragon Hobby Club, these six formed a tight group that often acted together.

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

All the dragon-like creatures frequently appearing in the academy were their handiwork.

Lu En still remembered not long ago, when they kidnapped a juvenile two-headed ogre and used bio-weaving to modify its explosive-storing stomach into its throat, attempting to recreate dragonbreath.

Unfortunately, it ended in failure.

The catfolk tribe used as the testing ground was obliterated by the explosion, with heavy casualties.

The Magic Control League’s field agents quickly discovered the incident and took them to court.

But under pressure from Bahadur, the matter soon faded away.

They took pride in it, even publishing the results in the academy newspaper, drawing cheers and resonance from many.

“Got it!”

Rita cried out beside him.

Hearing this, Lu En’s face lit up with joy.

“Do as I taught you—pull it out!”

Boom!!

The temple shook again.

But this time, it was closer than ever before.

Both were startled and looked up simultaneously.

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

A armored figure, wreathed in violet-pink wrathfire, plummeted down.

With a crash, it landed squarely on the barrier.

The barrier shuddered violently.

At the same time, wrathfire erupted from beneath the armored figure, rapidly corroding the barrier’s magical energy.

Lu En’s expression changed.

He urgently urged: “Hurry—pull out the Dragon Soul!”

There’s still a chance!

If we pull out the Dragon Soul, I can seal it instantly with the Meditation Method.

No need to rush devouring it—just use the magic ring’s space teleportation to escape. What’s there to fear?

“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”

“Don’t rush me! I’m trying!”

“Damn it! Useless!”

Lu En immediately rushed to the barrier’s control array and threw down several magic rings as sacrifices.

The barrier immediately solidified further.

“Heh.”

The armored figure above laughed.

“You actually thought I was playing with you?”

With that, he swung his serrated greatsword violently.

The wrathfire-extended blade instantly pierced through the still-weak section—the barrier split open with a massive crack!

The sword kept swinging, its flames sweeping downward toward Lu En.

His spell shield shattered in an instant; he had no time to react.

“Huh?”

No pain.

He only felt suddenly unsteady, then collapsed onto the ground.

“Huh….”

His vision began to blur.

He saw blood all over the floor.

And his own severed lower half.

“D-Dragon Soul… fate… revenge… Aitheron…”

He muttered incoherently.

Lu En suddenly remembered his teacher once saying his fortune was plummeting rapidly.

He hadn’t taken it seriously then.

Now, at this moment, he finally understood.

Fortune never endlessly favors the same person.

“Aaaahhh!!!”

Rita’s eyes bulged with rage as she screamed a piercing, hateful cry!

Luo De swept his hand and shattered a magic projectile.

“You—the mage—dared steal the Dragon Soul.”

He’d never regarded a fourth-rank trifle as a threat; after casually killing him, he turned straight toward this sixth-rank mage.

In Luo De’s eyes, the woman was far more likely to be the one who stole the Dragon Soul.

His greatsword swung—easily slicing through the spell shield.

The serrated edge tore through flesh, splitting open the chest cavity.

It yanked out all five internal organs together.

Rita was tossed aside like a rag.

“Ugh… kinda gross.”

【Wrath +300】

【Wrath +100】

Unexpectedly, the fourth-rank gave more wrath than the sixth-rank.

Looking at the two corpses, utterly dead,

Luo De picked up their magical satchels while linking the [Far-Speech Chain].

“Done, Naolin.”

“Oh, thank you.”

The other thanked him.

Then fell into a long silence.

“What? You want to back out?”

“N-no… it’s just… it’s my first time… I’m nervous.”

At that moment, Luo De noticed a simple ring on the fourth-rank’s finger.

He reached to take it.

But in this state, he misjudged his strength and accidentally crushed it.

With a whoosh, a spark of sentience vanished from the air.

“Wait, it’s not some treasure, is it?”

He disbanded [Lamentation Shaking Heaven].

Returning to his human form, he was infuriated to find his clothes completely torn apart.

It left him utterly naked.

“Ah!!”

Naulin suddenly shrieked in panic, “W-why aren’t you wearing clothes!”

Luo De smirked.

He made no move to put his clothes back on.

“Stop talking nonsense. Come out and keep your promise!”

“Can’t you at least put your clothes on first? My mom told me that looking at a man’s private parts can cause tumors.”

“No! Come out now!”

“Oh.”

With that said,

a translucent figure slowly emerged from the underground array.

It was a girl dressed in a black strap dress, with exquisitely refined features.

Her frame was petite, her chest barely swollen, two spiral dragon horns crowned her head, and a thick dragon tail extended from the bottom of her dress, swaying in midair.

Flecks of black dragon scales dotted her snow-white skin.

She floated out, hands clamped over her eyes, trembling.

“A girl’s build?”

Luo De was slightly disappointed.

He had hoped for a mature woman with ample curves.

【Enslavement Successful】

【Enslaved Target 6: Naulin.H.S.PQM】

【Race: Cursed Dragon of Resentment】

【Age: 12638】

【Obedience: 45】

【Evaluation: As one of the rarest Cursed Dragons of Resentment in the universe, Naulin lost her dragon body in battle and was drawn into a rift opened by the labyrinth, stranding her on this continent, unable to return home.】

“Not…”

Age 12,638?

Watching Naulin cautiously peek through her fingers, then blush and shut her eyes again, Luo De fell into thought.

She… really is a mature woman.
