Successful Ascension

Sensing the death of the "noble" dragon, Vale was stunned and was unable to immediately react.

'He'd rather die than become a slave, huh… I guess he's indeed a proud dragon.' Vale thought as he picked himself up to approach the corpse and do his final Extraction. He was already too tired, and his current Force was only about 5%.

That dragon was filled with vitality…

'No, that lake was doing so much for his recovery. I wonder if I can take it with me…' Vale thought.

Then, as he was about to extract the dragon, the ground suddenly moved, and the dragon's corpse started merging into the grassy plain.

It only took a few seconds for that to happen.

Vale was stunned once again.

Furthermore, the lake also started drying up, and another path leading somewhere appeared at the bottom of the lake!

'What?'
