Abyss Parasite

They were surprised to see Sun Zhou Yi. But they were even more surprised when they heard what Heero said.

"Huh!?" Everyone had the same reaction when Heero said that the dragon was the old man on Sun Zhou Yi's back.

They were stunned and doubted Heero, all of them, including his daughter who always believed in him.

"The grandpa is a dragon?" Miao Miao was the first to break the silence with her sweet voice.

Despite his small size, he was able to hold the huge boulder. It certainly surprised them, but there was no way they would believe that the old man was a dragon.

"Yes! He is a dragon," Heero nodded his head and explained, "He has transformed into a human form so that he can help with Brother Zhou Yi's training.

Sun Zhou Yi concentrated on his push-ups and stabilized his breathing. He did not care about the people who came to see a dragon as per his master's instruction.

Miao Miao turned around to see Heero face to face. Her face was solemn and her round eyes were wide open, with a serious tone she asked Heero, "You're not lying to me, are you, Daddy?"

She looked at Heero, which made his smile widen as he was amused. Still, he nodded his head seriously and answered honestly, "I'm not lying. Daddy would never lie to you."

"Come on, old man Niadin. Turn back into your dragon form and let them see you as you really are!" Heero pleaded with the old man.

'Is he kidding us?' That was what Alexa thought when she saw this.

'He's toying with us!!!' Guardian Knight Adrian was quite upset inside, but he did not say it out loud. The man before him was not someone the kingdom could offend.

'Hah, I heard he was quite playful, but I never expected him to play a prank on me,' King William smiled ironically inside. But he did not feel offended. Instead, he felt closer, Heero playing a prank meant they were close.

As for Heero's wives, they were used to such pranks. They just shook their heads.

"Why should I? Wouldn't they be afraid of me?" Old Niadin shook his head. Especially in front of the little girl, he did not want to scare them, even though it was his hobby to scare people for fun.

"It's okay, they wanted to see your true form," Heero approached the old man and whispered something to him.

The four little girls leaned forward and tried to listen, but they hardly heard anything.

"Emperor Abyss Raven? God Goun?" The old man's voice was small, but the four little girls could hear him. They did not understand what he was talking about.

Heero took three steps back and nodded his head at the old man.

"All right, I will help you," the old man threw the large boulder into the void with a light push and stepped down from Sun Zhou Yi.

He scanned King William, Alexa, and the Guardian Knight.

Why would he seek out a weakling like them? This was the old man's thought as he scanned the three.

Bwoosh!

His body flew into the air. The sudden action shocked the people who had come to see a dragon. When the old man reached a certain height, his body suddenly expanded and filled the sky.

Yes, the bright sky was now covered by a huge creature, a black giant creature with a wide wingspan.

Hong Yu, Han Ying, Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon subconsciously approached Heero. The sudden transformation into an old man shocked them.

Plop!

Guardian Knight Adrian fell to the ground as soon as Old Man Niadin transformed into a dragon. His eyes widened as fear slowly appeared in his eyes. The dragon was twice the size of the Abyss Raven that had attacked the Regal Kingdom.

Alexa leaned toward her husband in the split second of the dragon's appearance. She grabbed his right arm as she immediately closed her eyes.

Badump! Badump! Badump!

King William himself became extremely nervous. His heart beat faster than ever as his legs trembled. Thanks to Heero's presence, he did not disgrace himself.

The main reason why he was still standing was Heero. Heero dared to show him a dragon, which meant that the dragon was no threat to his life. Nevertheless, he was still extremely nervous and afraid inside.

"How about it, humans? Do you think the dragon exists now?" A deafening voice came from the dragon, questioning the humans below.

Of course, no one answered his question. They were still in a state of shock. They were still trying to process what they had just witnessed.

The next moment, Niadin returned to his human form and landed next to Sun Zhou Yi. Strangely enough, there was another large boulder in his hand. With a smug smile on his face, the old man jumped back on top of Sun Zhou Yi.

Alexa's legs went weak and she immediately fell while clinging to her husband. The thrill of seeing the dragon was enough to drain all her energy.

King William remained surprisingly calm. He inhaled and exhaled to calm his beating heart. As for Guardian Knight Adrian, he was frozen to the ground, not moving an inch.

"You're amazing, Grandpa Dragon!" Myung-Hee raised her tiny thumb at the old man with a cheerful voice. Her voice really praised the old man.

"Mnnn... Mnnn..." Moira and Lan Lan nodded their heads as well.

"Your body is hugeeeee~," Miao Miao stretched out her short arms to show how big the old man was.

"Yes, he's much bigger than the dragon in the movie," Lan Lan replied to Miao Miao's claim.

They had the opposite reaction to the adults. The four little girls were not afraid of the giant dragon, they were amazed by the sight of it.

Next to Heero, Han Ying stroked her chest. She was much better than Alexa at handling such a situation. Sure, the dragon scared her, but because of Heero, she was still fine. As long as Heero was here, she believed that nothing would happen to her.

But still, it was like watching a horror movie with a jump scare.

"This is not good for my heart, you should warn us if you want to show me something like this," Han Ying complained in a whisper to Heero's ears.

"I told you we were going to see a dragon, right?" Heero grinned playfully.

"I thought you were joking..." Hong Yu cut in with a trembling voice.

"Huhu... It's no surprise if I tell you," Heero turned around and saw the collapsed Alexa and Guardian Knight Adrian.

Guardian Knight Adrian was embarrassed as he tried to get up. However, he had a hard time standing properly. His legs were a bit wobbly.

Half an hour later...

Heero led King William and his companions back outside the dungeon.

Old Man Niadin and Sun Zhou Yi continued their activities inside the dungeon.

Outside the dungeon, King William, Alexa, and Guardian Knight Adrian breathed deeply. Even though the air inside the dungeon was better than here, there was always a tense feeling in their hearts. The existence of the dragon made them feel insecure.

"I did not expect you to show a real dragon," King William stroked his chest as he said this. He really did not expect to see a real dragon.

"I would never lie to my friend. I hope this also gives you peace of mind as you face the specters. We have stronger allies..." Heero paused a little while he scanned Alexa and Guardian Knight Adrian.

"I'd like to introduce you to our other two allies, but it seems the conditions don't allow it."

Alexa and Guardian Knight Adrian had a pale complexion. They still needed to rest for now.

"Two other allies?" King William asked in a slightly curious tone.

"Yes, the Purple Mountain tribe, who will train your Knight of the Phoenix Order, and another secret ally. I think it would be better if you meet them before we start our program," Heero explained with a nod.

"Then what about tomorrow? I can delay my return to meet our precious allies," King William did not want to miss this chance, building a good relationship with the Purple Mountain Tribe was certainly good. He could not miss this opportunity and was willing to delay his return.

"That's fine with me. I will arrange a meeting with the chief of the Purple Mountain Tribe at noon."

After the arrangement, King William's ground went back to the district.

As for Heero, he went back with his family to celebrate his victory over Ryan White. It was his daughter's idea, there was no way he would turn down a celebration with his daughter.

Heero spent his afternoon with his family. When night came, the little girls were tired of playing with him and went to bed early at 9 pm.

Heero did not stay home after that. He went to pick up the unconscious Ryan White in the trunk of his car.

Ryan White's whole body was covered with a black cloak. Unless one opened the cloak, no one could see what was inside. In the crowded street, no one suspected that Heero was bringing a body in the cape.

He returned to the first dungeon with Ryan White's body.

The inside of the dungeon was clear as usual. There was no night or day in the dungeon. This was how Niadin had designed his nest.

Soon, Heero reached Sun Zhou Yi. He was sitting cross-legged, meditating to control the new power he had just inherited.

Old Man Niadin was enjoying the snacks he had brought from outside.

"Why are you going back? It's unusual for you to visit this old man so often. What do you want from me?" Without looking at Heero, the old man spoke.

Heero really did need the old man's help. He threw Ryan White's body in front of the old man.

"This guy said he had Divine Crow's bloodline, but there's something wrong with him. Can you help me?"

He tried to analyze the body and found something in the head. However, he did not know what it was, so he asked the old man.

"Wuuu... Those evil crows inherited their bloodline from a human? Are you sure about that?" Old Niadin turned around when Divine Crow was mentioned. He narrowed his eyes and tried to get something out of Heero.

"I fought him, so I am sure," Heero nodded.

"This is interesting," Old Man Niadin opened the cloak. He scanned Ryan White and let out a surprised exclamation.

"There's an Abyss Parasite in his head!"
