Chapter 514: 514
Ascending to the Sky
Lily, the fauvist writer with no taboos and a salty taste, suffered a heavy blow.
The distance between reality and fantasy was infinite.
For example, fujoshi girls liked to see two handsome men fooling around together, not the kind of people on the island of Loli. If they were shown that kind of thing, they would vomit too.
It was just like how many men loved to watch movies, but if you showed him a Land Cruiser, he would also refuse.
The Fauvist writer, Dragon Mother Lily, liked the tentacle system. It was pink and had many clean and gentle tentacles except for mucus. It picked up a beautiful girl and moved her around in the air.
It wasn’t a twisted monster with a distorted body and purple vegetation that forced its filthy tentacles into a dragon’s body and injected a terrifying unknown substance into it, causing it to fall.
When she realized that she was the next target, her youth was over.
Looking around, the aftermath of the battle had yet to dissipate. The dragon of the fallen dust was still howling in pain. The curse and declaration of Tricia before she left lingered in her ears. Lily felt like she was in a dream. Her body swayed and she almost fell.
A hand supported her from behind.
” Are you alright?” Kant asked as he removed his mask.
Long Niang forced a smile.
She wanted to say something funny to cover it up, but she could not say anything.
“That dragon is Tracy?” Kant asked,” What did it say to you earlier?”
Lily lowered her eyes and said softly,” It’s nothing. It’s just some scolding, provocation, and threats. Don’t take it to heart. Tracy has gone crazy. Besides, he did experience a space-time flashback…”
Kant frowned slightly. He was about to ask when the dragon, which was lying on the ground, raised its head.” No, human,” it said weakly.” She’s lying to you.”
” Shut up!” Lily’s expression changed.
Kant’s expression was stern as he stared at the Dragoness. Is its next target you?”
If it was just some threats and provocations, Lily would not have shown such obvious fear. Only when she felt the same way and felt the same way would she show her real and urgent uneasiness.
Before that, Tracy had been talking to Lily.
The purpose and targeting were too obvious.
” He said that I’m his next target.” Lily lowered her head in the face of Kant’s questioning gaze. After a while, she said softly,” He said that I’m his next target.” He said that the space-time flashback he saw was Akatum’s guidance. The Dragon God said that he wanted him to offer seven dragons as sacrifices, and I was the seventh one to appear…”
“Bullsh * t,” Kant said coldly.
What kind of bird dragon is this? How dare you talk to my Brother Tu? Shut up. I’m the one who was chosen.
He glanced at Lily, who had her eyes lowered. The dragon girl’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. Her usual calm demeanor had faded. Now, she looked pitiful and helpless, filled with powerlessness and uneasiness towards the unknown.
Perhaps she was indeed frightened.
Kant’s tone softened.” How about this? I’ll send you out first. Then, I’ll call the Dragon Emperor over and let him clean up the mess. At most, I’ll give him a share.”
Although he said that, he had already made up his mind. After he got out, he would force the parrot out even if he had to throw a forbidden spell. He would drag her to impersonate Derila and participate in the spoils distribution meeting to balance out the Dragon Emperor.
At that time, he and the parrot would echo each other and bring the rhythm of the dragon race to squeeze the Dragon Emperor. Not only would they make him work hard, but they would also reduce his share. If he agreed, he would give him the video evidence of Tris going crazy and slaughtering his own race. He would be a powerful weapon against the Conservatives.
If they didn’t agree, they would hand over the pictures and videos to the Conservatives as evidence of the Dragon Emperor’s poor command and misjudgment, which led to the corruption of the giant dragon. They would force the Dragon Emperor to step down.
Evidence was such a thing. The same thing fell into different people’s hands, and there were different ways to use it. The advantage of being the first to attack determined the direction of the rhythm.
Of course, Lily had no idea what Kant was planning.
Her breathing stopped when she heard that. She raised her head and glanced at Kant.
Earlier, she had urged Kant to stop, but Kant was still hesitant. Now that she was facing threats and danger, Kant agreed without hesitation. If he said that she was not moved, he would definitely be lying.
There was no longer the usual indifference in her eyes. Her eyes were bright and pitiful.
This was the meaning of contrast.
Kant smiled as he looked at the panic and helplessness that she was showing.
“It’s okay. With me around, isn’t it just a crazy dragon?”
When she was young, she had been treated coldly and bullied on Dragon Island. She had run to her mother and cried. Her mother had also smiled and comforted her, saying that it would be fine. She was here.
Ever since her mother passed away, she no longer had anyone she could rely on. She could only make herself stronger to deal with the cold eyes of the outside world. She thought that she had nothing to fear, but today’s experience still aroused the fear that had been sealed in her heart for a long time. That feeling of trembling, uneasiness, and powerlessness was still engraved in her heart.
By the time she came back to her senses, she was already in Kant’s arms, tugging at his collar.
Prior to this, Horus had already discreetly separated the breastplate part of the battle suit with the judgement of a conqueror, so that his poor father could fully experience this precious experience.
Logically speaking, Transfiguration was definitely the greatest invention in the field of law.
That was Kant’s first thought.
Then he raised his hands awkwardly and subconsciously looked at Ah Xing. Ah Xing looked at him quietly, his expression indifferent, but his eyes were meaningful.
This Ah Xing was so weird! And it was so terrifying!
After a while, he patted Lily’s shoulder tentatively. Shall we go?”
Long Niang seemed to be shocked. She quickly straightened up and took two steps back. She lowered her head and said in a nasal voice,” Yes.”
“.. You can’t leave.” The dragon lying on the ground had been silent all this while. At this moment, it seemed to have made up its mind. It said resolutely,”You can’t leave.”
” You’re hopeless. That power has already corroded your entire body. All your life essence and magic power have been completely replaced.” Kant asked,” Do you have any last words or wishes?”
He pushed Lily to the back.
Lily grabbed his arm and looked at her kin and friends on the ground.
“Tracy…You have to stop him. Now, as soon as possible.” The dragon spat out a few mouthfuls of purple blood.” Just as you said, human, he has extracted all my strength and essence. I already know what he wants to do. He used our strength in exchange for…Exchanging power with the evil one who is definitely not the Dragon God. That’s why he’s so powerful now…”
” Now is the best time to chase after him. He has consumed a lot of power to corrupt me and used my essence to exchange for more power. He needs time. Vines is still alive, so he still has at least two dragon essence powers to sacrifice and exchange. We can’t give him that time…”
“Vines…” Lily exclaimed.
“Yes…” Luz sighed.” Along the way, our companions kept disappearing. First, it was Occhiwill. Tracy said he would send him back to report to the Dragon Island. Then it was Miroston. Tracy said he would let the coward run. Along the way, the scene became more and more strange. We went deeper and deeper. The elemental fluctuations in the air made us more and more uneasy. Tracy also became strange. He claimed that he had received the favor and call of Akatum. He showed us the prophecy that the Dragon God had seen…”
” We once believed and were excited because Tracis has always been our leader. We firmly believed that we would make a great cause and bring glory to the dragon race. Now is the time…”
” However, as we went deeper, the uneasiness grew. No one spoke of this uneasiness because we are dragons. Dragons do not allow cowardice, but our companions kept disappearing. Tracy became crazier and crazier. I keep feeling that someone is watching me. I keep feeling…”
Lily was silent.
Kant interrupted the dragon’s muttering.” Tell me something useful. Where did Tracy go? What did you find? What is he trying to do?” What about the offerings?”
“Sacrifice…I didn’t know there was a sacrifice either. This was just revealed by Tracy. He must have been holding it in for a long time. After seeing Lily, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed.”
The dragon Luz closed his eyes and stopped trying to move his body. The strange feedback from every movement reminded him that he had become a monster.
He slowly said,” Tracis, or rather, we, were left with only three. We went deep into the deepest regions, scorching hot and dark red. Along the way, we found many high-value resources, ores, crystals, and the Tracis raw stone that fascinated us…This is the first time I’ve felt the arrogance of a dragon. May Akatum forever spit on his soul…”
” The further down we went, the weirder and more fanatical Tris became. Previously, every time he saw an omen, he would share it excitedly with us to strengthen his authority and inspire our courage. But soon, he fell silent and calculated in silence and excitement. When we asked, he would brush us off. There were seven dragons in our group, and in the end, there were only three left…”
” Vines and I were getting more and more uneasy because we absorbed the unknown purple substance, the corrosive energy that made Tricia extremely fanatical. At first, it felt good because this substance could strengthen our bodies and magic, causing our strength to increase significantly. However, later on, I felt that something was wrong with my body. An ominous change was happening inside my body.”
” I had a secret conversation with Vance and felt similar. However, when I asked Tracy, he reprimanded me. He questioned me if I was doubting Akatum’s will.”
” His rage and imposing manner terrified me. I thought it was because of his accumulated prestige since young, but now it seems that it’s not. The real pressure comes from his rapidly growing strength. The other four dragons were killed and devoured by him, sacrificed to that unknown evil person, giving him extraordinary and tyrannical strength.”
” Vines and I both felt our bodies corroding and changing, but Tracy didn’t feel anything. He became more and more excited. We couldn’t help but question him and persuade him to wake up. He pretended to agree and sincerely talked to us, telling us some things…”
” What is it?” Kant asked.
” Intelligence, truth, and plan.”
The dragon sighed.” The evil substance we found was the unknown elemental raw stone that he named after himself. There are many of them below. We crushed these ores and extracted the essence from them. And Tracy said that deep underground, the place where Akatum pointed…”
” There is an endless amount of high-purity ‘Tricia element’.”
” That’s Akatum’s Land of Gifts. The source of everything is the River of Origin that he has been constantly talking about and repeatedly emphasizing from the beginning. The sacred and great Spirit River flows through it…”
“So, his plan.” Kant mocked,” Taking a bath in there?”
“No.” The dragon replied,” He wants to raise this river to the ground, to the sky, and along the water circulation system, to sprinkle the gift of the Dragon God and the glory of the dragon race all over the world…”
“.. F * ck.”
Kant blurted out subconsciously.
This kind of thing, something that could even corrode dragons, if it was thrown into the atmosphere and circulated throughout the continent through the water cycle, the consequences would be unimaginable.
What Lily said about the dwarves digging through the top of hell and inviting the invasion of demons in the previous era was nothing compared to this.
The smoke clouds that covered the entire world formed by the lava of hell could slowly calm down and dissipate, and the resulting winter would also pass. Demons could be frozen to death, killed, or pushed back. However, if this mysterious element spread across the world, corroding and spreading, and corrupting living beings, then even with the purifying power of the Fire Stealer, it would be too late to stop this terrifying catastrophe that affected the entire world.
” You guys retreat first,” Kant said decisively.” I’ll go out and call for help!”
“No, no, no. No…”
The dragon’s body trembled. He forced himself to raise his head. His rotten flesh kept peeling off. He gritted his teeth and said,” No! You must catch up to him now and kill him before he completes his plan! Stop him! Otherwise, if he sacrifices the essence of me and Vines, his power will continue to expand, and it will be too late when he finds the River of Origin!”
“We can’t go and ask for help!” He looked at Lily and said hurriedly,” You should know how big this place is. He is no longer a dragon. The Dragon Fire Soul Lamp is no longer effective. Even the Dragon Emperor cannot locate him. Even if His Majesty comes, he will hide. If he wants to hide, you will not be able to find him. He is in the dark and you will face endless disasters in the future…”
” Therefore, continuing to pursue is our only chance!”
” Here,” he said. He moved his claws with difficulty and quickly drew lines on the ground. He said to Lily,” I’ll show you the way. Remember, here…”
“Tell me.” Kant said,” She can’t go. Since she’s the sacrifice chosen by Tracy, she shouldn’t be here. I’ll let her go back. I’ll be fine here.”
” Human, you are very brave, but she must stay here. Only with her here will Tris ‘attention be distracted, and he will not turn his attention to the river or other dangerous places.”
The dragon said in a deep voice,” I admit that as a human, your ability and skills are excellent. You can be proud of yourself for forging an alchemical weapon that can threaten a dragon with the body of an ant. However, you have already seen the result of the battle just now. Your weapon can only cause a small threat and damage to him…”
Kant narrowed his eyes.
Even after degenerating into such a monster, the dragon’s soul still maintained its pride or arrogance. Seeing that Kant was unmoved, it did not continue to persuade him. Instead, it turned to Lily.
“You understand.” Lutz said,” This is your responsibility and mission.”
Lily bit her lip and remained silent.
“You have the responsibility to pay for the Dragon tribe and wash away the humiliation that your father has brought to the Dragon tribe. This is your chance…”
“Bullshit!”
” There’s no shame at all!” Kant snapped. Shut your stinky mouth! What her father has done is not something you selfish and arrogant worms can talk about!”
Although he did not know who Lily’s father was or what he had done before, he had followed the previous Fire Stealer to fight against the enemy from beyond the sky. He had fought a bloody battle and saved the world. There was no shame!
“Human!” the dragon roared. How dare you insult a dragon! I…”
“So what? Look at you now. Are you even worthy of being called a dragon? You’re arrogant, arrogant, selfish, greedy, and shameless. You intruded into other people’s homes aggressively, coveted the treasures in other people’s lands, and sneaked deep into them. You were lost by the gifts of the demons. The so-called great dragons killed each other, and the noble race was ugly and deformed. Now, you’re even worse than dogs. Didn’t you ask for all of this?”
The giant dragon had never seen such a scolding fight in its life. Every word pierced right into his heart and hit his vitals. His entire body shook violently, and purple pus kept splashing out. He spat out blood from his mouth and glared at Kant fiercely.
” You’re right,” Lily said softly.” This is my mission.”
“Hey!” Kant shouted angrily.
“Don’t you understand?” Lily looked at Kant.” Father would do the same if he was here.”
“Good, good, good.”
The dragon Luz’s anger turned into joy. He exhaled and said calmly,”Finally, you live up to the name of the dragon race…” Perhaps we were too harsh on you before.”
He explained to Lily the next route and the situation below. Suddenly, he thought of something and said solemnly,” You must remember that if the situation is critical and you are captured by Tris, you should immediately burn your life and soul to prevent him from devouring you. Understand?”
Kant raised his right hand, and the rotating muzzle lit up with a blazing light.
Lily held his arm and smiled.” You won’t let that happen, will you?”
Kant was stunned.
Long Niang’s smile was unprecedentedly gentle and beautiful. This time, he saw it with his own eyes.
“So, it doesn’t matter what he says.”
” Right?” Lily smiled.

P.S. 1: I don’t need you guys to f * cking complain. I can even guess that there will be posts saying,” F * ck, is this a lunchbox?”, and then there will be posts saying,” Oh, it’s not a guy, then it’s okay.” F * ck.
