Chapter 89

(Even those so called gods could barely hurt me, yet you a weak Tier 2 mortal had almost killed me.)

(I, an Ancient Dragon King, the Evil Dragon Nima. I hereby announce that you're the best and strongest.)

[Nima has given you a blessing!]

If the situation is in a normal one where he could give a leeway, Zephyr would inspect it out of curiosity but unfortunately, Nima was still hostile.

Even he was praising Zephyr due to the magnificent feat of almost killing a dragon, Zephyr speculated the situation like a cat is playing with a cornered mouse.

Even Zephyr was able to make him enter the dragon's invulnerable state, he wasn't worried of truly dying. As a dragon who has lived for millions of years, death is not something to be afraid of when you had already lived long enough.

Much more when you had the absolute confidence that dying is not something that could easily be achieved when you are a dragon.

After calming down his intense excitement, Nima fixed his gaze at Zephyr and spoke solemnly.

(However at this rate, you will never gonna slay me.)

Zephyr didn't rebuke what Nima said as he could guess what Nima was implying. As someone who had experienced several times of being restrained by the system, he considered the possibility of the feat he had just done that it would not going to happen again.

With the heaven defying effect that is a 15% chance of instant death to any target, Zephyr knew that the system would close that probability to 0 next time. It really wasn't a problem if Zephyr was just hunting a normal mobs in the wild but it is very big problem if the chance of instant kill will be activated when facing a dragon.

For the sake of balance in Tensura and for the default setting that dragons are not a target for raid or cannot be raided to remain, Zephyr knew that the system or the supercomputer Uriel would close the said effect of Zephyr's divinity for the meantime.

30 seconds had already passed without anyone attacking. With the immortality of Zephyr and Ericson was already gone, they couldn't affort to be rush than before.

Nima who was still on his immortal state with full of health already due to [Absolute Regeneration] the same with Zephyr just looked at them with interest wondering what this intruders of his lair would gonna do when they already knew their imminent defeat.

If this was just earlier, he wouldn't think twice to obliterate them but things have changed as he had already acknowledged their insignificant existence.

(Its very unfortunate that you will kill me because you're still weak at the moment.)

Sarcastic, narcissistic, and the mocking voice of Nima was heard. He then continued after an idea lit up on his mind.

(Why don't I spare you for now for you to grow in the future. Unlike the others, I acknowledged you two already and maybe you two will grow enough to threaten me.)

Zephyr and Ericson was still silent despite their calm expressions even hearing that the dragons intended to spare them as they knew what Nima was implying.

•It will be a waste to kill you for now so grow and entertain in the future.•

Was what the words of the dragon wanted. However there is also another meaning.

•We will surely meet in the future and you'll better be strong enough to entertain me.•

What the dragon wanted was for their next meeting would no longer be a one sided beating but a battle where he an absolute being could fight to his hearts content.

With the pride and arrogance of the evil dragon, Nima wasn't a bit worried that they could beat him.

(So we better part ways now puny nero Ericson and the maybe dragonoid Zephyr before I change my mind.)

With the [Draconic Eyes], seeing through their ability was very easy like breathing and the two of them was not very surprised about it.

With those words, magic circles appeared around them. With him being a Legendary Archmage, Zephyr could guess it was some kind of teleportation magic to send them away in the name of Nima sparing them.

He then heard Ericson's complaining voice.

"He really treat as an insignificant bug. I could somewhat understand where he is coming from but this is really frustrating."

Nima then birst into loud laughter of pure mockery when he heard Ericson's complain.

(Hahahaha! That's because...you're weak.)

With eyes that was devoid with emotion, Zephyr stared at Nima with a thought in his mind.

'How should I make that grin out of his face?'

Before they would be teleported out from the lair, Zephyr wanted to atleast make the dragon enrage and step over his pride. However he knew there's nothing much he could do.

(Farewell, humans. Grow and entertain me in the future!)

Nima roared in delight as the teleportation magic was activated. Suddenly just before they were being teleported, a flash of idea came into his mind on how to infuriate Nima.

'Dragons are creatures who likes to collect all kinds of treasures. What would happen if all those hard earned treasures would disappear?'

Suddenly, the image of the enraged dragon came into his mind with the idea of stealing all the dragon's treasures.

With the [Wise One] was still being in controll to Zephyr's body, it immediately knew what the idea of its master. As the AI of soulstone that helds every knowledge of the world and universe, it knew how to make this possible.

As Zephyr had already regained the ability to use mana, this could be more probable. Magic power then gathers in Zephyr's hands.

[The Soulstone of Gluttony's 'Predation' has been activated.]

Nima immediately caught and wondered what Zephyr would do in this moment before he could teleport him away but didn't cancel the teleportation spell.

He waited with interest what he wanted to do as he thought that maybe Zephyr would fire a strong spell or attack in the last moment before disappearing in the lair.

However unlike what he had expected, he didn't considered what Zephyr was about to do.

[Predation] of the Soulstone of Gluttony, an ability to devour everything and anything. However there was also a hidden function of this skill that Zephyr has yet to discover but was known to the [Wise One].

By adding an enormous amount of mana with it, one could expand its range that should only be a meter if it was just in the normal activation of the [Predation]. All of Zephyr's mana that reaches millions was instantly drained in the blink of an eye as the range of the [Predation] expanded.

With all the mana provided by Zephyr, the [Predation] expanded its range to envelope the entire lair with the exception of Nima that is deliberately avoided by the [Wise One.]

Nima widened his eyes after understanding what Zephyr was about to do. As a transcendent, he naturally knew about the soulstones and knew about the [Predation]. It just took long for him to recognize it as he never imagined that Zephyr could possibly possess it.

Seeing the [Predation] enveloped the entire lair, Nima raised his voice and roared as he now understood what Zephyr was going to do.

(Don't you dare!)

However before he could respond, Zephyr and Ericson was already teleported by the draconic spell out of his lair. What's more was that the two of them were not the only ones that disappeared.

Nima then loudly roared in pure rage unlike earlier that is the roar of pain as he scanned the entire lair. For him, this outcome was unacceptable.

The smug expression of Nima disappeared and was replaced with an expression with pure hatred and he was surrounded by aura of intense killing intent that is befitting an evil dragon.

The dragon's mind was currently in disarray as he just witnessed something unacceptable and was humiliated by it.

(It's gone. All of my treasures are gone!)

Looking that was previously filled with items and treasures in every corner that is currently emptied, overwhelming rage filled in his mind as he swore.

(The next time I will see you. I will reap and shread you to pieces!)

It was at this moment, the interesting mortals he treated became what he hated the most.

•~~~•

With the blink of any eye, both Zephyr and Ericson opened their eyes and saw a different scenery. Unlike what they saw in the lair, the scenery was filled with structures.

Seeing several buildings, Zephyr immediately opened the map function to confirm his location and saw that he was currently in the White Tiger City.

With the [Wise One], he immediately knew that Nima had casted them a [Gate] spell that would send any target to a city they previously visited. However before could totally organize his mind of the things that happened, a system prompts appeared.

[Evil Dragon Nima is enraged with the disappearance of his treasures.]

[Affinity with Evil Dragon Nima has reduced by -50.]

[Your affinity with Evil Dragon Nima has fallen to 'Hatred'.]

[The title, 'One Who Greatly Angered a Dragon' has been acquired.]

[You have made an achievement that is not easily accomplished. Additional karma will be provided.]

[You have acquired 5,000 karma.]

[You have acquired 7,500 additional karma.]

Looking at the system prompt, Zephyr imagined with interest what does the smug look of Nima would look like when it immediately changed to disbelief, hatred and despair.

As he was imagining the scene, the voice filled with laughter was heard.

(Hahahaha! I would also like to see that face of the brat would make.)

Hearing Hyrkan's voice, Zephyr immediately spoke.

"I wondered why you didn't spoke earlier when I was in the lair but to think you're enjoying yourself, good for you."

(Geee!)

Zephyr then heard Hyrkan flinched by his words.

(Don't be like that BFF. Ehehehe well to tell the truth, I couldn't do that while you're in the domain as the channel of our connection was disrupted by the domain but I could still see what you had done. It's just that I couldn't speak at all.)

Hearing the embarrassed reasoning of Hyrkan, Zephyr didn't push the matter as he nodded.

"I got it."

Zephyr then opened the system prompts that he had ignored when he was in the lair as was curious what it really were.
