"System, data analysis!"
"Order received. Collecting data. Results have been generated."
Ding!
"Congratulations to host for locating one of the extinct species, Crystallite Dragons!"
"System, show me all the details about the Crystallite Dragon you just mentioned above."
Species: Crystallite Dragon, growth potential is unlimited and is one of the strongest few dragon species among its entire race.
Characteristics: Ice elemental, potential young who stands out from their race will have the chance to comprehend a Divine law.
Characteristics of current Crystallite Dragon: Ice elemental, profound in the path of shape shifting, but the true speciality lays in its unique comprehension of ice.
"System, if the Crystallite dragons have already went extinct, then how would you explain the current one I'm seeing? Or are you implying that you're not that knowledgeble?"
"System's mood has taken a turn for the worse, I'll be taking a nap first then."
"Remember, this Crystallite Dragon will be beneficial towards your growth, even in the unforeseen future."
Lines formed on Nightin's forehead as he cursed, just what the hell does the system think it's doing? A system needs to rest?
Taking a deep breath in and out repeatedly, he knows that the only way for him to escape from this ordeal right now, would be enslaving the Crystallite Dragon to serve under him.
If he manages to enslave that Crystallite Dragon, it would definitely possess the means to deal with the wave of fire bugs and even assist him in the future.
He may not trust his own judgement, but he believes that the system would only provide him with best assistance needed to grow and develop.
How though? Nightin pondered as he continued with the soul detection, his target fixated on the Crystallite Dragon.
The fire bugs preyed on him as their eyes squinted in from the brightness of his wings, but soon focused after adapting to it as they flared their fangs and advanced in an sorderly manner.
Making a few more twists and turns in the air, he realised that the Crystallite Dragon was actually showing signs of fatigue.
Its disguise was fading away as the shell of it starts to burn off, if this were to keep up and it still remains with the group of fire bugs, then it would soon perish from the scorching flames.
Without any of the fire bugs even detecting, it slowly branched out and took on its true form at the side, a concealed spot which was hidden from all the beings here.
But the important question kicks in, just where did this Crystallite Dragon even come from? What's it even doing here in a place like this, inside a puzzle?
Deep blue eyes which showed wisdom, polished scales of an glacier ice colour, razor sharp claws and a tail which was curled up ready for combat, it gave off the extreme feeling of danger.
Its body was tiny, maybe only about Nightin's size at most, but Nightin knew better than to mess around with it.
A dragon rejects taking on its true form as none of them likes travelling around while catching the limelight everywhere they go, but anger the dragon and it shall reveal its hidden prowess. That line had been spread across the entire cultivation universe and was known to all.
The dragon race may be residing in an unknown location at the moment and even though it has been hundreds of years since an official spotting of an dragon has been made, no one dares to question their existence.
Even if all the races and species were to go extinct, the dragon race would definitely be the final one on the list, for their strength was just too much for even this cultivation universe to contain.
Even if that had actually taken place, even the Overlords wouldn't dare to have that thought in mind, for the dragon race had three Overlord dragons who are in the throne, those beneath the throne are countless...
I don't have much time, I need to tame the Crystallite Dragon fast, or at least get its assistance on this. Nightin pondered shortly and came up with a conclusion shortly after, looking below him, he could see the lava increasing in height towards him rapidly.
Without any hesitation, he started to execute his plans. Time wouldn't wait for anyone, tick tock.
Walking towards the dragon with steady footsteps, he reached his hand out and patted it on the head softly.
This brought about the dragon's disgruntle as it turned around and slashed towards Nightin without any warning.
Clang
Nightin blocked the attack with his Samsara sword and said "I'm sure that with the wisdom of the dragon race, you would have definitely picked up the language of the humans."
Good thing I was wary of it and prepared to defend myself, or I would already be a corpse right now, if it somehow doesn't get burnt into ashes that is. Nightin joked around with himself as he leaped backwards.
"So what if I do, foolish human?" The young dragon asked, its voice filled with the passage of time. At this time, Nightin had landed before it, at a distance which should provide him enough time to dodge, if it turns aggressive again.
"Human, don't even think about enslaving me, your talent is just too pathetic! I'm only fourteen years old and if I'm compared to a human, I won't even be a year old yet. But my cultivation? I'm already at the half step Dragon Saint realm and have the qualifications to call myself undefeatable below the Great Saint realm!" The Crystallite Dragon said proudly, its head held high.
"I don't have the time to explain to you right now!" Nightin said in a hurry as he glanced towards the rising lava.
The Crystallite Dragon floated around lazily as its claws pointed to the scorching heat below and asked "Is it because you're afraid of that lava? Don't worry, I'll keep it frozen until you finish telling your story."
When the puny dragon spoke, a portal appeared above its head as a beam of ice froze the lava up in an instant. The scorching heat was replaced by absolute coldness of a freezing temperature, making the whole place feel like winter.
