An unknown island.
In the center of the island, there is a crumbling ruin, covered in spider webs and dust. Sitting in this environment is a man who is thin and gaunt, as if a gust of wind could break him in two.
This man is Azeral.
Azeral had immediately shifted his position and arrived at this unnamed island. Faced with the current situation, he had to take some action. It was at this moment that a long-lost "friend" contacted him.
"The time is ripe. It is time for the final step, Azeral."
"It seems that we have the same opinion."
A mysterious smile appeared on Azeral's lips. At this moment, his whole body suddenly trembled as a power from the darkness rushed out of him and was absorbed by Azeral's body.
Azeral's frail body, at this moment, miraculously became strong at a visible speed.
Feeling the strong beat of his heart, Azeral felt a sense of rejuvenation. Although it was temporary, it didn't hinder his addiction to it.
At this moment, a voice echoed in Azeral's mind once again.
"With the help of this power, it should be easier. Don't forget our agreement when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint appeared in Azeral's eyes as a curve formed at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, once the ultimate soul medicine is completed, you will have your share."
"Then I will patiently await your good news."
With the words spoken, the dark voice in Azeral's mind completely disappeared, indicating that the connection with Azeral had been severed.
Azeral clenched his fist, feeling his strong body and a pleasure he had never experienced before. But in the next moment, he thought of the face of that man.
The man called Green…
"With the help of this power, I can indulge a little more."
Gradually, Azeral's peculiar laughter echoed on the island.
Green was unaware of what was happening on Azeral's side. At this moment, he was taking Yuzuriha to the central continent, as Green could sense several powerful auras heading in that direction.
Using his sensing ability, Green determined that the owners of these auras were much stronger than most people. If they were allowed to reach the central continent, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But Green was not joking around with his speed. He quickly caught up with the group of low-flying black dragons and decisively took out Valibel to punish a few of them who were lagging behind.
The black dragons at the front quickly sensed the danger from behind and dispersed. After seeing Green easily deal with a few of their companions, one of the black dragons suddenly went insane and pierced his companion's body with the container in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Green was a bit confused and thought, "Has a disagreement occurred among them?" However, he quickly understood the meaning behind this action.
"These guys are quite interesting."
The black dragon absorbed the life force of all its companions into the container, then smiled strangely at Green. Suddenly, a space opened up beside it, and it turned around, wanting to fly into it.
Seeing this, Green understood what they were trying to do. They anticipated that they were not a match for Green, so they wanted to transmit the energy in their hands to their superiors.
But how could Green allow them to escape?
A black sword aura quickly swept past, and in the next moment, the body of the black dragon was split in half, gradually being consumed by darkness before completely disappearing into thin air.
"It seems that my master is starting to accept me."
But not long after, Green felt more and more aura coming from the west, and the number of auras was increasing at a geometric rate.
Green closed his eyes and released his perception, while the source energy in his body operated in a strange way.
Yuzuriha, who was lying on Green's back, could feel a significant energy fluctuation from him. This energy seemed to envelop every corner of her body, giving her an indescribable feeling.
"What are you doing?" Yuzuriha asked curiously.
Driven by curiosity, Yuzuriha voiced her question.
Hearing Yuzuriha's puzzled voice, Green recovered from the effect of the technique and exhaled lightly before saying,
"The number of enemies is a bit too much to handle one by one, so..."
"..." Yuzuriha was at a loss.
"I used a slightly dangerous technique."
Green chuckled lightly, but his explanation clearly didn't make Yuzuriha understand.
However, Green didn't go into detail but released his perception again. Suddenly, a cool and impactful feeling flooded Green's entire brain.
At this moment, the world presented itself in a different way to Green. Green could see numerous dots and lines connected, like an intricate spider web.
And as Green delved into the origin of these dots and lines, he found that everything converged in his mind. Through these "lines," Green could clearly understand every movement in the space.
Moreover, the "web" that spread across his vision was filled with elusive source energy. With just a will, this violent source energy would burst through the points in space, causing devastating damage wherever it reached.
Yuzuriha couldn't see this scene, but she could feel the surging and turbulent source energy within Green. She didn't ask any more questions and quietly attached herself to Green's back.
On the Western Continent, there were humanoid black dragons and true form black dragons soaring in the sky everywhere, causing chaos in the cities. Before long, the once prosperous cities were almost reduced to ruins.
During this period, an exceptionally powerful black dragon appeared and fought against the other black dragons. However, it was quickly repelled and disappeared without a trace. In the face of such a huge army of black dragons, people felt nothing but despair.
A male mage looked at the humanoid black dragon approaching him, and he was so frightened that he fell to the ground. He could almost envision himself being killed by the strange container in the opponent's hand.
Facing this situation, he closed his eyes and silently waited for the arrival of the Grim Reaper until a loud noise suddenly broke the silence.
The mage opened his eyes and the scene in front of him stunned him even more.
The humanoid black dragon was frozen in a strange posture as if something was imprisoning it.
In the next moment, a bang sounded, followed by a tragic dragon's roar, and the creature that was about to take his life turned into black ashes and disappeared.
Only then did the mage realize that similar phenomena were happening not far away.
The humanoid black dragons on the ground, as well as the gigantic dragons circling in the sky, had all mysteriously stopped moving, as if an invisible force had tightly held them, rendering them completely immobile.
Amidst everyone's astonishment, their bodies turned to black ashes with consecutive explosions, quickly dissipating in the wind within their sight.
In the distance, after confirming that the auras of the dragon soldiers had mostly dissipated, Green slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.
"Whenever I use this technique, I always see something bad, so I don't really like using it."
These words were unknown whether they were meant for Yuzuriha or just Green talking to himself.
At the same time, in a inconspicuous town on the Falsyste border, a man with a weathered face but a robust physique, and eyes as sharp as an eagle and as venomous as a snake suddenly appeared accompanied by spatial fluctuations.
This man was Azeral.
Azeral also noticed the sudden disappearance of a large number of auras in the distance, his brows furrowing slightly, while the dark voice resounded in his mind once again.
"I never expected that person you mentioned to have such ability to wipe out my large army in an instant."
"Hmph, as long as my ultimate soul potion is refined, that kind of person is not worth mentioning."
Azeral gave a disdainful snort, then looked toward the direction of the capital, with greed in his eyes.
"Just wait, I will make you pay for your disrespect towards me!"
