The old man looked at Lucifer with a scary frown on his face.
It was so different compared to the look that the old man gave when he was talking with Rouge, who was just a random captain.
Of course, Lucifer was just new to the Warmester Denoble House, but...when compared to the head of the Warmester Denoble House, both Rouge and Lucifer would just look tiny enough that such a stark difference in the old man's behavior was...abnormal.
Right, that was how it should be. Just like how the old man was currently looking at Lucifer with disdain in his eyes, that should also be his look when he was talking with Rouge.
Lucifer knew this very well, and that was also why he was really weirded out by the fact that the old man...was kind to Rouge.
Of course, even though Lucifer never got any confirmation that the old man was indeed the head of the Warmester Denoble House or something like that, he still knew that this is the head.
Why? It was because Rouge referred to the old man as patriarch.
And there is only one person who could be called patriarch in the whole Warm City, and that is the head of the Warmester Denoble House.
That was why Lucifer was quick to analyze the situation and was sure that the old man was indeed the head of the Warmester Denoble House.
However, there was a reason why Lucifer was still not making his move right now, even though this was his target of assassination.
And that was...he didn't know the identity of the other 6 people, who were kneeling on the ground.
Of course, he knew that they were pretty high-ranking to be in the same room with the patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House, but...they could also just be like Rouge, who is just...obviously favored by the patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.
That was why Lucifer was not making any moves right now since his goal was the patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House and also to learn the location of the various heads of the four organizations stationed at the capital city of the Zacharath Kingdom, Epitel.
After all, even if Lucifer would be able to assassinate the patriarch of the Warmester Denoble Head now or he destroys the entire Warm City, it would still do no good since he got to take care of the dogs called organizations so that no trouble would come to him.
Right...since Lucifer was now right before the head of the Waremseter Denoble House, Lucifer has now two options.
It is either to assassinate slowly and just replace the head with a puppet of his own or...destroy the whole city and just act as if the Warmester Denbole House never existed in the first place and just usurp their organization.
Anyway, it was still the truth that Lucifer got to find the heads of the four organizations first before making a move, which is why he still wasn't doing anything.
The information that he would get out from this opportunity of meeting the head of the Warmester Denoble House would definitely affect his actions from now on.
Anyway, when the old man looked at Lucifer, he just stared at his head with disdain in his eyes.
The disdain was so strong that Lucifer could literally feel it crawl up to his skin, but he didn't really care about it.
He just let time pass as he let the old man look at him, and it seems that the old man doesn't plan to talk to Lucifer as he...turned his head back towards Rouge.
Well, it was only natural that the head of the Warmester Denoble House wouldn't talk to someone so low in position.
It would just be extremely ridiculous if Lucifer, a newcomer into the organization, were to talk to the boss right away.
Just meeting the head of the Warmester Denoble House on his very first day should be enough of glory and honor for a newcomer.
"Hmm...that's definitely a good seed you found. I can feel his strength from here! Good work, Rouge!" The old man said with quite the proud smile on his face.
It was such a sudden change on his face, but well. Since no one can see his face right now, it didn't really matter.
"It is my duty, patriarch," Rouge calmly said as he bowed his head even more towards the old man.
As soon as the old man heard that, he just nodded his head with satisfaction on his face.
He wanted to take in this moment where Rouge did something good and where he can actually praise him without any worries.
Well, he can definitely praise him without any worries at any moment he wants, but...he wanted Rouge to actually build his confidence so...this is a chance for that since Rouge actually did some good work.
That was why after thinking about what to say carefully to Rouge, the old man spoke again.
"That's right. Since you did such a good job, what reward shall I give you? You can ask me for anything you want."
The old man said with quite the proud look on his face. Well, that was because he was indeed proud of what Rouge did for him.
Falkor, who was using someone else's body to see things in the world, was just shocked as he just...witnessed everything that happened.
With the huge fleet of dragons soaring through the air, it was just absolutely breathtaking.
What's more, Falkor, through the eyes of this body, has seen the huge fleet of dragons...destroy the world!
No, that would be an understatement as the whole place was all ravaged and nothing was left, even the land!
It was so ridiculous that Falkor was sure that this was just a dream, but...the fact that all of it happened right in front of his eyes was just...exciting.
The feeling of this body was not that great, as it was not his own body, but Falkor felt like he was here, taking part in this operation where the dragons destroyed the world.
As Falkor was always alone as a dragon, something like this was definitely an exciting event for him.
It was to the point that Falkor...didn't want to wake up from this dream even though he was just witnessing this event through the eyes of somebody.
That was how exciting and fantastic it was for Falkor to see this sight happen right in front of him.
He was just that excited about the thought of other dragons existing, and even destroying the whole wide world.
However, that was not all the important points as Falkor knew that the world that the dragons destroyed was Terrarosa.
As a dragon, Falkor has lived for quite a while now and he was sure that he has already seen all corners of the world of Terrarosa.
And there were some real similarities with the world of Terrarosa that he knew with the destroyed world.
Of course, those similarities were gone now as the dragons have destroyed it with their strength and power, but...this made Falkor question the dream.
'This dream...is it really just a dream?'
Right, since it was so similar to the world of Terrarosa... no, since this was the world of Terrarosa, the fact that Falkor was feeling the dream so vivid and so strongly was definitely weird.
It was as if he was just watching a replay of the destruction of the world of Terrarosa as Falkor could feel so strongly.
This was the same case as well for the previous one as Falkor could even feel a presence creep up to him that time.
In this dream, he could feel the wrath of the dragons as they destroyed the land and massacred all of the residents of the Terrarosa.
Their wrath was so hot that even Falkor was affected by it. He could feel the same wrath and anger that they had as he watched it all through this foreign body's eyes.
And that was weird.
After all, Falkor has experienced quite a few dreams during his long life as a dragon, but none of them made Falkor feel like this.
None of them could make feel Falkor that the dream was real or something along those lines.
However, this dream that Falkor was currently experiencing...it was as if Falkor was just watching a recorded video or something like that as it was just so vivid.
Falkor could feel, think, decide, though he couldn't really act on it, but...it was the truth that Falkor was conscious while having this dream, not just like any blurry dream.
That was why Falkor suspected that this was just not a dream. No, he was already sure from the first time this happened to him that this was not a dream.
However, if it was not a dream, then...
'What could it be...this is so weird,' Falkor thought.
Right, this is weird for Falkor - dreaming about dragons at this point and time.
Why? It was because he was a human right now. When he was a dragon, he never had dreams like this.


Strong, arrogant, and merciless, that was Lucifer.

He did everything that he wanted in the world, and that was why he left and became a secluded man.

After all, what he wanted was to read books.

Thousands of years after, Lucifer finally finished reading all the books.

And right after he did, Lucifer realized something.

He realized that there was no book on how to become the One True God.

It was then that Lucifer decided to make a book.

The book on how one can become the One True God.

We men dream dreams, we work magic, we do good, we do evil. The dragons do not dream. They are dreams. They do not work magic: it is their substance, their being. They do not do; they are.
―Ursula K. Le Guin,?The Farthest Shore


Mikhail walked up the steps to Berkley's Club, his skin tingling. It had been a long time since he'd scented a virgin woman in her prime. He'd stayed away from humans for so long that he'd almost forgotten how the sweet, floral scent of a naturally beautiful woman could tease his nostrils. The little virgin gemologist was as ripe as a red apple hanging low on the branch, begging to be plucked. His body hardened at the thought of getting her alone, stripping her naked, and inhaling that intoxicating, pure scent until he was drunk with the aroma.
He gave his head an almost violent shake. Nohe refused to be a fool for a woman again, especially a virgin. Piper Linwood was no different than any other female, ready to betray a man the moment it was convenient. It didn't matter that she'd carried a loneliness in her eyes that called to his, or a hopeful blush in her cheeks when he'd leaned in close to her. It was a ruse and nothing more. His hands curled into fists as he rapped his knuckles on the club's front door and waited, his mind racing with thoughts of the past.
The memories of that night when Queen Elizabeth had seduced and betrayed him five hundred years ago had left him filled with a quiet rage. When he'd entered the jewel exhibit an hour ago, his heart had stopped at the sight of his jewels on display for the world to see like common trinkets. But they weren't. 
The hoard was his family's payment for a treaty with the Belishaws, an English dragon family. The Belishaws had received those same jewels years before Elizabeth was born as a payment from King Henry VIII, when he was a young and weak monarch. In exchange, the Belishaws had provided the Crown with their support and protection. Now those jewels belonged to him and his two brothers, Grigori and Rurik. To see the hoard on display like this had upset his dragon. A dragon's hoard was supposed to be hidden deep below the earth in caverns where no one could steal it.
The door to the club opened. He took a deep breath as he stepped inside. A servant met him just inside the door.
"Good evening, sir." 
Mikhail handed the servant his black membership card. "I'm here to see Randolph Belishaw." 
The man's eyes widened as he examined the card. "Yes, of course, right this way." He waved for Mikhail to follow. They walked up a flight of gleaming, polished wooden stairs, softened by expensive carpets. Paintings of famous members from days long past lined the walls. He paused at the top of the stairs and noticed a portrait of a blond-haired man with laughing gray eyes. The man wore buckskin breeches and a blue waistcoat. The inscription beneath the painting read, "Charles Humphrey, Seventh Earl of Lonsdale."
He'd met the man once in an underground boxing ring more than two hundred years ago. Lonsdale had been one of the fiercest humans he'd ever faced. Mikhail hadn't stayed in London long after that match. 
"You had one hell of a right hook," Mikhail said with a chuckle. What had happened to Lonsdale? Had he slipped into obscurity like most other men of his day? The thought was a sobering one. Good men always died, while dragons lived on.
The servant had paused a few feet ahead, apparently believing Mikhail had spoken to him. "Excuse me?"
Mikhail smiled. "Sorry, just lost in the past." 
The servant looked older than him at forty or fifty years old, but Mikhail was over two thousand. It just so happened that as a dragon shifter he didn't physically age past his mid-thirties. Only far older dragons, those five or ten thousand years old, would start to show their age, and even then their hair might just have a few silver streaks in it. Dragons didn't grow old and wrinkled, but without purpose, many of the ancient ones simply remained in their dragon forms and buried themselves in caves deep in mountains and went to sleep, never to wake again. 
It was why finding one's true mate was importantit gave a dragon a reason to stay alive, unless of course one's mate was human. He'd known many dragons who had given up on finding true mates and contented themselves to breed with dragonesses simply for the sake of continuing the bloodlines, but he'd never wanted that for himself. He'd been determined to find and claim his true matebut that dream had been shattered centuries ago.
"The room is this way." The servant led him down the hall and paused by the door. "Mr. Belishaw is inside. I shall send someone to bring you drinks." The servant opened the door and allowed Mikhail to pass through. 
The small private room was lushly decorated, furnished with leather chairs and a warm fire crackling in the hearth. A lone man with dark brown hair and aristocratic features sat in a chair, reading a newspaper.
"Belishaw," Mikhail greeted him.
Randolph Belishawor simply Belishaw to his friendsraised his head and grinned. "Been a long time since you came to see me. Still hiding in that little cottage in Cornwall?" Belishaw stood and clasped hands with Mikhail with genuine warmth.
"Cornwall is right for me. You know I love the cliffsexcellent for flying. You've always been more of a city dragon."
Belishaw laughed, his brown eyes twinkling. "True." He was the eldest son of the Belishaw familya noble line of English dragonsand one of Mikhail's few friends.
Belishaw offered him a chair by the fire. For the first time in a century, Mikhail felt guilty for not coming to London more often. He liked to think he was all alone, but he did have friends here. I am too used to playing the martyr, I fear.
"You've seen the news?" Mikhail asked.
His friend grinned. "Of course. Bet you leaped at the chance to see the jewels for yourself."
"I already have." Mikhail's smile slipped at the memory of how the pearls had looked. Once a bag of opalescent joy he'd carried in a large red cloth bag, now a pinkish-gray and sunken looking. It was enough to break a dragon's heart. Jewels were meant to be guarded and cherished, not tarnished.
"Oh?" Belishaw looked surprised, and then it changed to a keen gaze of comprehension. "That's why you're here. You wish for me to bring you to the Thorne Auction House reception tonight, don't you?" There was a flicker of pain in Belishaw's eyes. It was clear that he thought he was being used.
Damn, I can be a bloody bastard sometimes.

Book 1: Mikhail: A Royal Dragon Romance
He’s a dangerous jewel thief… she’s the gem expert standing in his way…
Mikhail Barinov knew he F’d up, five hundred years ago. His ‘one job’ as part of a Russian family of imperial dragon shifters? To protect the family hoard of jewels. But a dazzling virgin—who just happened to be the Elizabeth I, the Queen of England—tricked Mikhail and stole the jewels. But now he has a chance at redemption. The jewels have been found five centuries later. The only problem is they’ve been turned over to gemologist, Piper Linwood. She’s sexy, smart, ripe for seduction—but if centuries of exile taught him one thing, it’s never trust a beautiful woman.
Piper Linwood can’t wait to get her hands on her latest project. But hot damn she never expected how badly she’d want to get her hands on the dark, brooding man she sees at the museum. Of course she didn’t know he was a jewel thief. Or a dragon shifter. But all that becomes abundantly clear when he takes the jewels and her, then flies (yes, flies) to his ancestral castle. While all the alpha-male stuff is what fairy tales are made of—and frankly sexy-as-hell—the fact Piper disappeared with Mikhail has her labeled as his partner in crime. Now she must choose. 
Will she betray him to save her career? Or will she stay and become the dragon’s greatest treasure?


In the eastern part of the Arena, Aldo is seen fighting another enemy. When Natasha accidentally passes him, He pushes another fighter and is crashed right towards her. "Bruk." She and the Female Samurai Fighter were knocked over and hit a rock hard.
"Geez ... I was too careless. Hey you, are you okay." Asked Natasha.
The Samurai girl passed out and was unconscious.
Then He headed into the forest and saw her.
"Now it's my turn. I'm going to chew you. Hahahahahah," Said Aldo, who was excited with red eyes. The man seemed to have lost control and was being controlled by someone.
"This person is hazardous. I have to find another way." Natasha stood shoulder to shoulder with the samurai girl.
"Stealth Magic: Invisible" Then Natasha and the Samurai Girl disappeared and fled.
"Damn, I have to beat them immediately. I won't let them escape from me." Said Aldo (dark), who was disappointed to see his enemy disappear.
Liana meets the Robot Troops in the west part of the Arena.
"There are a lot of them. I must defeat them Right now. Great Illusion Magic: Eye Swindle Magic" Then She makes herself a lot and confuses the robot.
"Flute Illusion: Sleeping Melody." The Lolicon girl uses illusion magic to hypnotize the robots.
But it's a shame; her illusion magic doesn't work against robots.
(Damn, My Illusory Flute Magic didn't work. It looks like I have to use Imagination world magic again.) Liana thought while dodging the laser attacks that were fired by the Robots. Suddenly a giant robot appears and gives a punch to Liana. Liana bounces but flies back. Then there was a figure of a long Flare-haired girl dressed in an adventurous style. She attacked her.
"You sleepy girl, feel this. Fire Style: Fire Ball!" The mysterious girl shot a fireball through her mouth towards Liana.
"Imagination Magic: Shield." Liana creates a protective shield with her Imagination magic.
"It's impossible. Who exactly is she?" The mysterious girl looked surprised to see Liana able to fend off her attack.
"I have run out of patience. I will destroy everything .. Ultimate Illusion: Dream Land" Liana Reopened the World of Imagination Dimension. The whole robot and the girl with flare hair were dragged into the world of her Imagination.
When the robots are in her Dream World, they become more aggressive. The robots started attacking Liana and the Flare-haired girl at the same time.
"This is such a stupid toy." Said Liana then created a giant battleship through his imagination. The battleship then attacked with a shower of lasers.
An impact was violent enough to make several lasers explode and emit smoke. The robots made by Erina, Saito, Nijiro, and Morine were defeated in an instant.
"Good .." said Liana with glowing eyes, filled with magic spells.
The girl saw that she felt her magic power became afraid, and tried to run away.
"You can't go anywhere. In this world, you can't lie to me. Your mind, I can read. You are an ESDA Spy, alright? The Orion is your master, right?"
"Hahaha ... I'll finish you off soon! Satan Mode: Flaming Soul." Finally, the innocent nature of the mysterious girl turned into someone with a disgusting face.
"Finally, striped you out, Imagination Magic: Water-Dragon."
Liana created lots of water dragons in her dream. A group of water dragons created by her attacked the mysterious girl and some warrior robots ...
"Feel this. Hahaha"
The girl suddenly fell into a pool of water shot by the dragons ...
"Weak water technique." With its fire, it manages to evaporate Liana's water magic.
"Oh, Really?" Asked Liana, who smiled.
Gradually the water changed its color from clear, transparent color to purple color. The mysterious Girl's body started to burn. "What's wrong with my body, suddenly? My skin burned.."
"Looks like you have misunderstood. What I am calling is not a Water Dragon, but a Water Dragon Hydra." Liana explained her magic with a wink.
"DAMN YOU ... DIE !!!" The Mysterious Girl suddenly released a too intense Mana intensity. She tried to enchantment her Demon Mode (Etherion Form). But in an instant, the magic beam disappeared.
"Have you forgotten? Your demon magic won't work in my world .. Feel your most beautiful nightmare .. Ultimate Illusion: World Destroyer." Liana opens a portal to return to the original world, and then her Dream World begins to collapse. It's like the end of the world.
Hundreds of meteors destroyed all over the region at the ceiling of her imaginary world. It was a mighty blast. The deadly blast struck the Mystery Girl, too.
Her imagination-world was again broken, her imagination-world dimensional space crashed, her imagination-dimensional world collapsed. The mysterious girl laid hollowly on the ground, shut her eyes, and fell asleep.
The Lolicon Girl locks the mysterious girl with Woll Prison. She makes a Giant text Magic and tells that this Demon Girl is an Intruder from ESDA. After that, Liana walked into the cave that Nijiro created.
Returning to a tent near Bukit Herby Field, the Supreme Master looks back and sees the surveillance camera.
"What the hell, why can She hurt a girl, Eh? What is this?" Supreme master saw the text Magic made by Liana.
"What's wrong, Master?" Morine asked while looking at the surveillance camera.
"As I thought, it turned out that there was indeed an intruder disguised as an exam taker."
"How about this? Should we stop this Exam immediately?" Morine asked him.
"Let's just let go of it. But there's something off. Just take a look at that." Said the Supreme Master, who showed one of the broadcasts from surveillance cameras on one of the cameras.
"Isn't that your grandson? What is he doing? Why is he seen slashing the other participants?" Asked Morine who saw the Hologram Screen.
"Yes. There seems to be something wrong with Aldo. His behavior is bizarre. My grandson is never that cruel to people." Added Aldo, who argued.
"This is dangerous. Aldo san might be affected by the devil. We have to stop him immediately before he dissolves into the darkness." Said Morine, reminding the Supreme Master.
"Yes .. Ria opened the portal, let Morine enter .."
However, Ria passed out unconscious.
"This is very bad. How about this?"
"Part of my magic is still there. I'm not sure I can stop it. It looks like the sword can neutralize magic. Without magic, I'm helpless." Said Nijiro, who then got up from his sleep.
"I'm the same as Nijiro Kun. I still have some mana left." Said Erina, who also got up from her sleep.
"Fvcking ESDA, they are really sneaky. I've already got a few tactics. Let this exam end. Nijiro, Erina, and Morine. You guys go to stop him!" Said the Supreme Master who gave the order.
"Also, please bring all Participants who were injured by Aldo's act" The Supreme Master gave his instructions.
Morine, Nijiro, and Erina replied, "Ok, Sir."
Then They got out of the Tent and got on Clori's back to head to the arena.

A Space Explorer, Anami Nina. Carrying out her duties as one of the Master Legends from Planet Herby to find the Creator's existence and The Godmote, a God's heirloom.

"Has the Big Dream Sleeping Rock leveled up?"

Standing on the back of the clone of the Tyrannosaurus, Ye Xuan was feeling the buzzes coming from the Big Dream Sleeping Rock's World of Dreams.

His face beamed. He shifted his consciousness into the Big Dream Sleeping Rock's World of Dreams.

Boom!

When Ye Xuan's consciousness had been shifted into the Big Dream Sleeping Rock's World of Dreams.

He saw this world was expanding rapidly. Every change there was visible.

This expansion was different from all of the past ones of Ye Xuan's Beast Lairs.

Because this time, the Big Dream Sleeping Rock did not level up immediately when Ye Xuan had fed it with the Tear of Dream.

Instead, it had been sound asleep ever since then.

While sleeping, the countless Shadows of Dreams in the World of Dreams were flowing into its body.

These Shadows of Dreams flowing into its body were no longer all kinds of vehicles like last time.

Instead, they were all kinds of female dragons in a giant valley of dragons, which were roaring and dashing toward it after having seen it.

Female dragons!

Female dragons!

There were all kinds of female dragons! And there were only female dragons!

Ye Xuan was completely dumbfounded.

He wondered what the Big Dream Sleeping Rock was dreaming.

He felt there was something very wrong about this dude.

It was usually very silent, but it was totally different at this moment.

The Big Dream Sleeping Rock was not so well-behaved as it usually seemed, maybe?

While these female dragons were dashing toward it.

And entering its body.

Its energy soared all of a sudden when Ye Xuan had shifted his consciousness to it.

Its energy literally soared.

The Big Dream Sleeping Rock achieved the intermediate Silver level from the low Silver level, and then from the intermediate Silver level, it achieved the high Silver level.

Then it finally achieved the peak Silver level. It was a soar of that kind that we are talking about.

[Big Dream Sleeping Rock: Four Stars

Beast Level: Silver (Peak)

Ability 1: One Thousand Year Big Dream

Ability 2: Big Dream Future Image

(The Big Dream Sleeping Rock can exert the Big Dream Future Image to get the strength of the most powerful creature it has dreamed of and can transform into.

And it can transform into the same look as that creature.

In the current stage, its Big Dream Future Image can achieve the high Gold level at most, but this effect can only last three seconds.

At the same time, restricted by its grade, it can only get the strength of four-star Gold-level species.

But it cannot get the strength of five-star Gold-level species.

Things work the same way if it tries to get the strength of species that have achieved the intermediate Gold level or the low Gold level after it exerts the Big Dream Future Image.

But depending on the level, this effect can only last ten seconds or thirty seconds.)

Ability 3: Big Dream Sleeping Rock Aspect]

Ye Xuan identified the Big Dream Sleeping Rock's attributes in an instant after its level-up.

Compared to the Big Dream Sleeping Rock on the peak Bronze level, its abilities weakened.

It could get the strength of five-star Silver-level creatures when it was on the peak Bronze level.

But it was still solid for Ye Xuan in the current stage.

After all, he had not run into even one five-star Gold-level monster in this sea area by then.

More than that, all of the Gold-level monsters he had run into were on the low Gold level.

In such circumstances, the Big Dream Sleeping Rock, which could exert the four-star Gold-level strength for three seconds, was certainly extremely dreadful.

The mere thought of it already excited Ye Xuan.

"Time to go to that island!"

Looking into the distance from the back of the Tyrannosaurus, Ye Xuan seemed confident.

It had been a long time since the last Gold-level monster had come to provoke him in this sea. He was quite frustrated about that.

He chose to go through the high-profile trial because it was claimed that Gold-level monsters would come to him frequently.

But where were those supposed Gold-level monsters?

Where are you?

Why don't you come?

Thinking of that, Ye Xuan felt he was in great need of a monster on the Gold level. Then he maneuvered the Tyrannosaurus to travel right away.

He headed for the place the Harp Melody woman had told him about directly.

With the Big Dream Sleeping Rock that had leveled up, he felt very confident.

"It's here!"

A few minutes after Ye Xuan had left.

A group of hundreds of people came in a rush from far away. They arrived at where Ye Xuan had lingered briefly.

"It's here. He showed up here not long ago. I can detect his smell here!"

A Beast Tamer from the Silver Blood Clan said with a gleam in his eyes. There was a weird-looking wolf without fur following him. He had made it smell around when they had arrived here.

"Let's go. Let's go on traveling in this direction. Only half a minute to go to the end of these fifteen minutes. His coordinate will be published again."

"I bet he has no idea that we have been following him. This time he absolutely won't be able to escape!"

The Beast Tamers from various clans were all extremely excited.

They were closer and closer to Ye Xuan.

Unlike earlier, they were running around like a headless chicken.

At the same time.

Somewhere else in this sea.

Seeing the Thunderous Mechanical Gear getting bigger and bigger in front of him, Primo from the Silver Blood Planet was very excited.

He had waited for a long time. By then, his Thunderous Mechanical Gear was finally going to achieve the Gold level.

The Gold level and the Silver level were completely different.

He had no idea how Ye Xuan had killed Gold-level monsters.

But he believed when his Thunderous Mechanical Gear achieved the Gold level.

He would need to find some helpers to deal with Ye Xuan. He was sure he would absolutely kill Ye Xuan by then as long as they met.

"I only wonder whether my Mechanical Affinity talent can help the Thunderous Mechanical Gear keep its five-star grade after it achieves the Gold level."

A hopeful look flashed across his face.

His Mechanical Affinity talent could help his Thunderous Mechanical Gear keep its five-star grade after it achieved the Gold level.

He supposed he would even be able to give Ye Xuan a hard blow on his own.

Boom!

In front of Primo, the Thunderous Mechanical Gear struck a dreadful thunder and lightning after a thunderbolt when he was absorbed in thought.

It created a deep vortex with flashing bolts of lightning over the boundless sea.

"It's done!"

Primo beamed at the sight of the vortex.

Then he took out a verdant seed by turning his hand over.

A clansman of his gave him the verdant seed earlier.

With this seed, he could head for where the clansman was at high speed.

Primo shifted his consciousness. He leaped onto the Thunderous Mechanical Gear.

"Have they found Ye Xuan's precise location?"

Primo maneuvered the Thunderous Mechanical Gear to travel fast in a direction.

"One hundred miles in fifteen minutes? Let's see whether I can catch up with you with my new speed!"

Primo smiled coldly again while flying.

He already detected that the Thunderous Mechanical Gear had lamentably failed to keep its five-star grade, and it had dropped to four stars after this level-up.

But a four-star Gold-level beast was already great enough. It was not something that anyone could have.

After all, this time, the Beast Tamers taking part in the trial of the sea world in this area were all Silver-level ones.

At the same time, in addition to Primo.

There were more than ten Beast Tamers from various clans in this sea area.

Whose beasts also achieved the Gold level at about the same time.

Moreover, when their beasts had achieved the Gold level, several of them took out a seed that looked similar to Primo's seed.

Then, just like Primo, they also maneuvered their beasts to travel.

They were going to see their clansmen.

"Ye Xuan!"

At this moment, the geniuses from all clans, who had been putting up with him silently since they had entered this Secret Realm, all grew very aggressive.

They had been expecting this moment for a long time. By then, it was finally coming.

...

"It's this island?"

While the hundreds of Beast Tamers from all clans and Gold-level Beast Tamers like Primo were approaching Ye Xuan aggressively.

After a long journey, Ye Xuan finally found the island the Harp Melody woman had mentioned.

Through the Tidal Treasure Snail's Real-Time Map, he confirmed three Gold-level monsters were living on this island indeed.

These three Gold-level monsters were all on the low Gold level.

But he was not sure what grade they had.

"And…"

Then Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness.

As he approached the island, he sensed a rich treasure aura on the island through the Tidal Treasure Snail.

It was not any weaker than the treasure aura of that weird bead he had got earlier.

Growl!

The clone of the Tyrannosaurus growled under Ye Xuan all of a sudden when they had arrived. It seemed a little unquiet.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Xuan puzzled.

He got a surprising answer when he had used his consciousness to communicate with the clone of the Tyrannosaurus.

"You mean there is something beneficial to you on this island?"

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrow.

The clone of the Tyrannosaurus had the same senses the Tyrannosaurus had.

That meant some treasures were beneficial to the Tyrannosaurus on this island?

"Let's go!"

Ye Xuan did not hesitate.

He made the clone of the Tyrannosaurus take him to the island in the distance right away.

Through the Tidal Treasure Snail, he found that besides the three monsters on the low Gold level, there were also many Silver-level monsters living on the island.

But he was already strong enough not to worry about that.

Then, as Ye Xuan picked up his speed.

Traveling on the back of the Tyrannosaurus, he was only two miles away from the giant island very soon.

He immediately saw a huge thing lying on its stomach on the coast of the island. It was definitely more than two hundred feet long.

The huge thing had layers of scales and many bumps on its body. It had sharp teeth as well.

It was a huge, slim, and powerful crocodile exactly.

[Fierce Sea Dragon Crocodile Beast: Three Stars

Beast Level: Gold (Low)

Abilities: Dragon Crocodile Aspect, Dragon Crocodile Combat Technique, Dragon Crocodile Roar, Overturning Seas, and Rivers

Evolution Path: Ancient Dragon Crocodile Beast]

Ye Xuan identified the Dragon Crocodile Beast's attributes after a glance.

"Three stars?"

Joy showed up on Ye Xuan's face.

He would get eight Gold points for killing one three-star Fierce Sea Dragon Crocodile Beast.

And he saw two more identical Fierce Sea Dragon Crocodile Beasts at the far end of the island after having glanced over.

Three Dragon Crocodile Beasts would amount to twenty-four Gold points!

Growl!

In the distance, on the island.

The Fierce Sea Dragon Crocodile Beast growled while Ye Xuan was gazing at the island.

It opened its giant eyes and looked at him.

"What are you staring at? Big Dream Sleeping Rock!"

Seeing the Fierce Sea Dragon Crocodile Beast look at him, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness.

He called out the clone of the Big Dream Sleeping Rock two miles away from him right away.

Growl!

The Big Dream Sleeping Rock growled as soon as it showed up.

It transformed into a giant beast that looked pretty similar to the Fierce Sea Dragon Crocodile Beast.

But the giant beast it had transformed into this time had two big sharp horns on its forehead.

It was a four-star Gold-level Ancient Dragon Crocodile Beast.

And it was a four-star Ancient Dragon Crocodile Beast on the high Gold level.

Its body length increased to more than three hundred feet after the transformation. The Fierce Sea Dragon Crocodile Beast was totally outshone.

The Big Dream Sleeping Rock growled and dashed forward. It approached the Fierce Sea Dragon Crocodile Beast that had thrown Ye Xuan a look in a second.

Its mouth wide open held the Fierce Sea Dragon Crocodile Beast's head in its mouth before the latter could react.

I will swallow you alive!


In the era of Beast Taming, Ye Xuan with his superior Beast Editor, claims that he can turn even a snake into a Divine Dragon that soars across the nine heavens.
Hence, the little monkey he tamed became a Deific Ape.
The little birds he raised became a ginormous roc.

"Hmm, no wonder the handiwork is so good. Still, it can be improved upon. You won't mind if we two work on this right? You don't have to worry about the price either", said Mei Zhen.

"Hey wait a moment, that depends on what I'm going to put into that socket."


Zhang Guang glared at his counterpart but did not seem to be against working on the sword.

Ming Yue was confused by their actions.

"Why are you doing this?" she asked.

The two looked at each other before looking at Cheng Wei.

"We three have gone through many challenges together, bonding as lifelong friends. We knew that  it was Cheng Wei's goal to create the Evergreen Heart and we three tried to reach it. Even after so many years we tried and failed. That dream had stayed a dream but you revived it. For that, we must repay you for helping our friend and for helping us."

To Ming Yue, the Evergreen Heart was a miraculous thing but to the three seniors, it was so much more than that. It was dozens of years worth of work, thousands of attempts, and thousands more of failures. For her to show them the real thing was more than what they could've wanted. In that, they had to repay her in some way.


"Then, I will have to bother the three seniors", she cupped her hands and bowed.

"Hah, you could just call us elders. There is no need to address us so formally."


The three looked at Ming Yue with gratefulness and glee. Helping her was nothing compared to how much she had helped them.


"Come back in a week for some testing. We have a lot of work to do."


The three seniors guided Ming Yue and the others out of the store and returned to their respective domains. The pair started walking back to the residential area as Hei Yue and Xiao Yin followed along.


As they walked, Zhi Qing smirked at Ming Yue.


"Well, you certainly gave me a shock", she giggled.


"You bring out an item coveted by my seniors. More than that, it is a legendary item as well. I can't help but wonder what you've encountered out in the world."


Ming Yue looked at the young woman. Zhi Qing was a bit older than her, yet she carried a very childish air around her. It didn't necessarily help that she had quite a baby-face as well. She thought back to what Grand Researcher Ou said, how the people of this kingdom have become accustomed to staying within their boundaries. She wondered just how different the world would've been if the kingdom had not shut itself from the world.


"Not to mention that sword! How do you even wield that? I though you used a staff" Zhi Qing words shook her from her thoughts.

Ming Yue smiled.


"It is a memento from my father, I had it reforged after finding its sister blade."


"Oh how curious! The blade is almost as tall as you! Would this mean that you are also planning to go to the Ying Long Sea?"


"The Ying Long Sea? Why do you ask?"


"Oh, you don't know about it? The Ying Long Sea is place of great mysteries and treasures."


"Oh, I thought that it was a place for fishermen. I have heard that there are rare creatures but those are mainly for food."


That was what she had heard from Lao Gan. He traveled there for the cuisine and the rare beasts that are used to cook.


"That is only part of it. The Ying Long Sea is extremely large, bordering one side of the kingdom. The outskirts of the sea are full of fish and other sea creatures thus the fishermen. However, as you go deeper you will find underwater caves that are filled with all sorts of treasures."


Zhi Qing grabbed a small map form her spatial ring and continued talking as they walked through the Market District.


"The Ying Long Sea has another name. It is also known as the Sea of Heroes and Dragons where it was said that many warriors came to battle the dragons that dwelled.  But once every ten years, the Ying Long Sea would part at the center revealing a massive grave site that contains the bodies of dragons and their challengers. You are bound to find ancient treasures there."


She pointed at the map, showing the shaded area of the Ying Long Sea where it would part. It was small compared to the rest of the sea, only taking up a tenth of it.


"Though you might not be ready yet at lest not on your own. The energy gathered there is very dense and requires a few tools to disperse it. It is something that cannot be endured through strength as it will seep into your body and dig deep into your bones."


For the Ying Long Sea to have such history was news to her and Ming Yue wasn't sure if she wanted to tackle it just yet.

"Have you gone to the gravesite?" she asked. 

From the sound of it, Zhi Qing must have some experience there. 

"Oh, we take expeditions there to study the Dragon Energy and take its scales and bones. It's a very powerful energy and it carries a sort of heaviness that dragons have. It has been one of the chief goals to fully repicate that energy. Of course, we can achieve a similar result by using the parts to create armor or weapons but if we can successfully recreate that energy, then it would be easier to just imbue existing items."

"Such a thing is possible?" asked Ming Yue. 

"Indeed, we've only been able to produce something that has half the strength but just that can boost the strength of anyone below the Heaven Realm." 

"Then, when is the next expedition?"


MIng Yue asked as the dragon corpses piqued her interest. She's never seen a dragon's corpse uch less a real one and thought that it was something that she should experience. 

"That should in three months time. Are you thinking about joining?"

"Yes, I want to check out the gravesite and see these dragons for myself."

In three months, a lot could happen, perhaps she could even breakthrough and achieve flight at the Perception Stage. 

"Well then, the expedition is in three months and if you want to join, you must ask Grand Researcher Ou for approval. These expeditions are generally in groups of thirty but there are times where we have a few more or a little bit less."

By now, they reached the residential areas and Ming Yue returned to her courtyard. By the time she bathed and cleaned Hei Yue and Xiao Yin, it was midnight. Before going to sleep, she organized her thoughts and planned ahead. In terms of cultivation, she was at a bottleneck, nearing an inch away from the Perception Stage. To take that inch, she had to consolidate her foundation and understand how to read and use different energies. 

On that note she had to focus on two things, Mental Force and the Sword Sage Path. Training in the former was underway but she has neglected the latter. She had yet to advance to the next level, "Sharpness of One's Soul", staying at the second level "Blade of the World".

Fortunately, she had read the "Path of the Sword" manual thoroughly and memorized it. This was something she needed to work on and most likely would be practicing in the early morning. 

Aside from that, she had two goals in mind, the expedition for the Ying Long Sea and the Heavenly Gate Tournament. The first three months away and the second was six months away now. There was also the matter with Xue Yue and the possiblity of merging their conciousness together. 

As she planned and thought, she couldn't help but breathe deeply. There was quite a lot for her to do and even more to achieve. She looked off to the side, spotting her two companions sleeping soundly. 

She smiled at them and her mind relaxed. There was no point wracking herself over this and resolved to deal with it one day at a time. Though the next three months would prove to be quite hectic.

"Seth," a voice called to him, a voice that he would know anywhere. 
"Briana?" Seth asked. He looked around, and he was in the same field where he had fought Dracon the year before.
She turned around and was standing in the field with a beautiful smile spread across her delicate features, her sun-streaked blonde hair falling loosely around her shoulders, down to her calves. "Seth, come to me," she said, holding out her outstretched arms, just as she had in his dream before.
"Am I dreaming?" he asked, taking a step toward her. 
"What do you think?" she asked. Once again, she stretched out her arms to him. "Come to me," she repeated. 
Suddenly, Dain stepped out of the woods on the other side of the field. "No, come to me," Dain said to her, the full length of the field away from Seth. In slow motion, Briana looked over at Dain and took a step toward him. 
"No, Briana!" Seth called to her. He tried to run to her, but, suddenly, arms clamped down around his. He looked down and they were claws. Slowly, he let his eyes travel up the bony arms and saw the face of two dragons holding him. He looked ahead to Briana, fearing for her safety, and she was still walking toward Dain. "No! Briana, run!" 
Appearing not to hear, she walked toward Dain, but halfway in the field, Dain's body began to shake, and morph. He bent down and, suddenly, his back rose and red firefly lights rushed in, swarming around him. He shook and morphed, the red firefly lights engulfing him until he was a three-story tall red dragon. He opened his mouth and fire was in the back of its throat, ready to escape. The massive dragon turned toward Briana.
"Briana, run!" Seth yelled, struggling against the grip of the dragons holding him back, but it was useless. The more he struggled, the tighter their grip became. "Briana, run!" Seth repeated, yelling at the top of his lungs, but she didn't listen, looking only at the dragon that was now Dain.
"What's the matter, Seth?" Briana asked, slowly turning toward him. 
"Briana, run!" Seth yelled, struggling against the dragons' grip. 
Briana's body suddenly started to shake, morph, and change as red firefly lights rushed in to claim her body.
"No!" Seth yelled, struggling, as the red miniature lights continued to work their magic on Briana's body, swarming around her, changing her until she, too, was a three-story tall red dragon. She looked back at the dragon that once was Dain and stalked slowly toward him. Then, she looked back at Seth and opened her mouth and fire burned in the back of her throat, ready to escape.
"What's the matter, Seth?" Briana's voice rolled over the tongue of the red, three-story tall dragon-a Norwegian Witchback. "Don't you still love me?"
Seth woke in a cold sweat, breathing heavily as he quickly sat up on his bed. At first, he didn't know where he was, but after he took in his surrounds, he slowly began to remember that he was in Cambria, as the events of the day before rushed to him. He took a deep breath and fell back onto the fluffy pillows across his bed, letting out his breath in relief that it had only been a dream. Suddenly, Seth remembered that his Great Uncle Herman had called him a seer. He knew that his dream was trying to tell him something, but what? He didn't know. 
He closed his eyes and opened them a moment later to see bright rays of morning sunlight streaming into the room through the open window. Birds were chirping outside, singing their morning songs. He rose from the bed and looked out onto the courtyard to a beautiful view. The castle courtyard was filled with green grass, and flowers adorned the edges of the castle walls, reminding him of his father's cottage in the field of wildflowers the year before. It was a shame that it had been left to ruin, unloved. If he could, he would love to restore it to its former beauty. He took a deep breath and walked to the closet, then pulled out a pair of brown men's riding pants and a beige shirt that was a bit baggy, but meant to be so. He then slipped into the men's riding boots, and headed toward the door. He slowly opened it. 
At the end of the hallway stood a castle guard, just as Bryce had said. He nodded to the guard, but the guard didn't respond. Seth walked past him down the corridor and around the corner past Briana's chamber. For a moment, he was tempted to knock on Briana's door, but it was early yet, so he decided to let her sleep. He made his way down the stone stairwell until he came to the bottom. He didn't hear any movement within the castle yet, so he went out into the courtyard.
Reese was there, performing his cotta, reminding Seth of his own karate cotta that he learned back home. Reese bowed down then swooped up, extending his arms outward as his sleek muscles rippled. Shirtless, the sweat dewed on his muscles as he moved gracefully through the moves that he had taught Seth the year before. Seth enjoyed watching Reese's gracefulness in the quiet, still air. Watching him was a sight of beauty. Reese saw Seth watching and motioned for him to join in. 
Not wanting to interrupt the stillness of the morning, Seth removed his shirt and joined Reese in the cotta, remembering every move. Seth's muscles flexed, rippling as the sweat soon trickled down his washboard abs in the crisp morning air. They moved together, working out to the same controlled, disciplined rhythm. Finally, they both bowed and the cotta came to an end. 
"Very good," Reese whispered, not wanting to ruin the stillness of the morning. "You remembered what I taught you last year."
"I practice daily," Seth replied. "I work out with weights, too." He left out the fact that he had also learned karate and fencing, as well, not meaning to sound boastful. 
"Very good!" Reese repeated, slapping him on the back. "I am very proud of you, Seth. You haven't forgotten the lessons you learned here."
"Thanks," Seth replied, and then he thought of something. "Reese, may I ask you something?"
"Sure, Seth." Reese rubbed a rag along his neck and slipped into his shirt. "Anything."
Seth paused for a moment, slipping into his shirt to give him a moment to think, not quite sure how to ask. He thought that the direct approach was best. "What can you tell me about Dain?"
Reese laughed then slapped him on the back again. "You really are jealous, are you not?" 
"No, not jealous," Seth corrected, "just concerned for Briana's safety." After his dream, he wasn't going to take the chance of leaving Dain alone around Briana for long. The year before, his Great Uncle Herman had told him that he was a seer. He wasn't exactly sure what that meant, but he was aware that the recurring dream that he had the year before came true ... in a manner of speaking. He knew that his repeating dreams were warnings of some sort, and this one was no different. But against what? He wasn't sure.
