Instead of a banknote for 100,000 taels of gold, the actual gold had to be deposited into the accounts and retrieved from the money vault, which took half a day.By sunset, Nestor led a group of men into the city lord's mansion, arriving at the wide courtyard outside the Meadowgrove Garden.Ten large chests filled with gold were neatly arranged on the ground, all with their lids open. Under the setting sun, the gold glistened brightly. Many servants and subordinates passed by, witnessing the scene."Lord Holmes, why do you request so much gold all of a sudden..." Nestor looked utterly confused, keeping his head down as he asked Tahbert, who was sitting in the velvet chair."Haha, come with me. This is meant to reward those who have done great deeds," Tahbert said with a laugh, getting up and heading west.Soon, Isaac and Hallie were called out of the room, where Tahbert was standing outside."Open them!" With a wave, Tahbert had all ten large chests opened, revealing rows of glea
"Mr. Garten! Money! You forgot the gold!" Hallie yelled."Idiot! If we take the gold, we'll die!" Isaac scolded angrily, speeding up his flight with his spiritual energy. He headed straight for the trained beast shop in the south of the city.The 20 or so men at the entrance were stunned to see Isaac and Hallie run away.Were they giving up on 100,000 taels of gold?At the east courtyard, Skylar, dressed in a light-colored long dress, was helping Leander in walking toward the Meadowgrove Garden."Please, Your Highness. You don't have to help me. That would be too much for me," said Leander. He gently pushed away Skylar's hand, appearing anxious.She had no choice but to give up and stay by his side."Your Highness, is it true that the two heroes who saved us have been captured and taken to the city lord's mansion?" Leander turned to look at Skylar.The latter sneered. "I told Tahbert Holmes about it, but he used it as a reason to award those two people 100,000 taels of gold. Ev
Hallie knew he was weak. Blood Dragon Island was already dangerous for Isaac. If he went there, he might not survive.Even though he didn't know why Isaac insisted on going to Blood Dragon Island, he knew Isaac must have some compelling reasons."Mr. Garten, what else can I help you with?" Hallie asked, wiping away his tears.Isaac handed Hallie the last banknote worth 1,000 taels of gold and said seriously, "If you return to Starbloom City, go find my mother, Raelynn Zimmerman. Tell her not to marry Kingsford."It's for the sake of my deceased father, grandmother, and the thousands of people who died in Emerald Hall."Hallie was stunned for a moment. Then, he took the banknote from Isaac and nodded firmly.Under Hallie's gaze, Isaac mounted the eagle and swiftly soared into the sky."Mr. Garten, you must come back! I'll wait for you in Starbloom City!" Standing under the big tree, Hallie shouted toward the sky where Isaac gradually disappeared.From sunrise to sunset, Isaac sa
There were towering mountains on the island. It was densely forested, and numerous unidentified birds hovered in the sky.Isaac only saw a big, seemingly ordinary island. He wondered if he had come to the wrong place.He planned to descend to the island's shore closest to him. Once he set foot on the island, he would begin a thorough search."Human, you shouldn't come here. Leave here now." Suddenly, Isaac heard a deep voice from below.He abruptly stopped in mid-air less than 300 feet from the island's shore. He then looked around but didn't notice anything unusual. He couldn't tell which direction the voice had come from."Excuse me, is this Blood Dragon Island?" Isaac hesitated for a second before asking loudly in all directions.After waiting for a while without any response, he thought he had misheard the voice. So, he began descending and slowly landed on the island's shore.The next second, the water started to churn and splash in the sea several hundred feet to Isaac's r
The black dragon's deafening roar destroyed nine scarlet, 300-foot shadow swords.Isaac was greatly startled by what he saw. Swiftly, he leaped into the air.The invisible force erupted from the black dragon's mouth, shattering the nine shadow swords. All the remaining power struck the spot where Isaac had been standing moments ago.A thunderous explosion created a 160-foot-wide crater, scattering rocks and sending dust skyward."Universe Swords!" Isaac let out another furious roar. Scarlet energy surged from his chest like a tidal wave. Instantly, it formed hundreds of shadow swords 30 feet in front of him, creating a massive sword net.With a wave, he infused spiritual energy into his Skyrend Sword. It soared into the sky and positioned itself at the center of the sword net.The massive sword net dashed over, enveloping the black dragon.The black dragon in mid-air noticed the scarlet spiritual energy swirling in the sword net and rapidly approaching it. Its eyes were full of
The black dragon abruptly turned its head to look upward.A massive creature about a mile long, with a body diameter exceeding 300 feet, hovered majestically and quietly above. It cast a shadow that blocked out the sky.Its entire body was covered in blood-red scales. It gazed down with supreme authority with its scarlet eyes.The black dragon squinted. It twisted its body, transformed into a young man dressed in a black robe, and immediately bowed."Greetings, Lord Drakoth!""What happened, Nyx?" Drakoth, the scarlet blood dragon, spoke authoritatively as he slowly approached."My Lord, this little guy trespassed on Blood Dragon Island and ignored the warnings. According to the rules, I can deal with him as I see fit!" Nyx, the black dragon, spoke loudly with his head lowered.Drakoth fixed intently on the barely conscious Isaac lying on the ground, commanding, "This little guy isn't an outsider. I can sense a familiar aura within him."Put him into the Dragon Spring."Nyx ab
Drakoth soon vanished from above. Nyx, who was now in human form, sneered as he looked at the quiet Dragon Spring ahead.Three days? That human might have already died from his body exploding.According to legend, Dragon Spring was formed from a drop of the ancestral dragon's heart blood. It could only be activated by the breath of a dragon that was over 500 years old.Dragon Spring was specifically used for the rituals of young dragons over the age of 200.Only young dragons that had been in the Dragon Spring could fully transform, allowing them to soar through the clouds and let out the dragon's breath.Nyx couldn't understand why Drakoth had mentioned that there was a familiar scent on Isaac. However, throwing Isaac into the Dragon Spring was no different than killing him.Because even young dragons found it hard to withstand the violent forces within the Dragon Spring. Despite it being only three days, a human in the Blazing Phase would only suffer in it.To Nyx, three days
"He's still alive. He's absorbing the dragon's energy in the pool."Nyx raised its head, seeing the massive scarlet blood dragon looming above.He was stunned to hear that Isaac was still alive.Back then, he could only withstand the Dragon Spring's currents for three days, but Isaac was able to stay longer."My Lord, shall we keep waiting?""Yes!"This time, Drakoth didn't leave. Instead, it hovered in the air several hundred feet above, quietly watching the Dragon Spring below.On the fourth day, he let out a stream of dragon breath, but the blood mist "lid" over the Dragon Spring remained silent.Five days had passed. Even Drakoth showed signs of amazement. He breathed out a burst of dragon breath again.The rapidly swirling blood mist above the Dragon Spring abruptly came to a halt. It began to hover over the pool, eventually forming a large mass.Right then, a thicker cloud of blood mist slowly rose from the depths of the pool, reaching out and ascending to a height of 3
