Being Cornered

"The Dragon Ancestor’s origin blood truly is a wondrous thing. Just one drop holds such immense power that it took five whole days and nights to absorb it completely. Since I was born, I’ve never encountered any magical artifact or treasure with such overwhelming magical energy. It’s a shame that someone like me, a human, cannot even set foot in the Dragon King’s temple."

As the beautiful Farcia stood before him, displaying her transformed elegance, Arias’ focus was entirely on that single drop of blood instead. If other men were to witness this, they would surely berate him for being a fool, missing such a golden opportunity to appreciate the beauty before him.

However, his reaction didn’t stem from indifference to a woman's beauty. Like any man, he appreciated beauty, but the allure of the Dragon Ancestor’s origin blood was far more captivating to him than physical charm.
