Chapter 23

1

Can this foolish dragon not understand what I'm saying? I've been shouting at it for ages, but it keeps repeating its original lines. Is it deaf or something?

"Hey, can't you see me?" Humans can't produce the sound of a dragon with their mouth; they rely on dragon souls to communicate.

The trapped dragon only rotates its eyes. In this area of the sea where the dragon is, its eyes, which are becoming darker and darker, are the only source of light. Maybe it really can't see me, but that doesn't mean it can't hear, right?

"Have you been injured?" I touch the dragon's nose. Compared to its size, it doesn't hurt or itch at all when I touch it.

The dragon keeps roaring. It sounds weak under the water. Its pain and despair are best expressed in its voice and released. At least here, it won't be thirsty.

The crack behind the dragon is in the middle of an underwater canyon. Its neck and everything below its neck vertebrae are in the crack. If the crack closes completely, it will truly be decapitated.

I think it would be best if this new dragon could remember something. As the union of "Three Selves," there are still many things that I don't understand. I'm not completely convinced that all dragons, as Marutian claims, are exiled. But I believe that we must have our reasons.

The dragon bone giant sword tries to find a breakthrough point at the location of the dragon's neck vertebrae, where my sword can be placed in the crack. Just a little of my magical power can help the dragon open the crack enough for it to escape. To be honest, this dragon's size can definitely be classified as "chubby" among dragons.

Unfortunately, there is no gap between this dragon and the crack. Being strangled to death is a shameful death for the dragon race, and it probably thinks the same, so it is crazily roaring.

I still have another method in mind. If it were still the Holy Demon Dual Dragons, I definitely wouldn't be able to think of it, but now it's Reisgolo.

"Sealing Demon Knot." Gold bandages appear on the back of my hand through my contract with Nofice. The entire crack is surrounded by the Sealing Demon Knot, which can sever the connection between elements and the spellcaster. The origin of the crack is not here, and it doesn't require elements, so the Sealing Demon Knot is just the trigger for me to release the "Dragon Secret Emperor Power" - the "Absolute Tranquil Space." Since I accidentally went back twenty years, I haven't used this true power belonging to the dragon race, and it feels like there is a shadow on my own power.

The only way to externally control the crack without directly contacting its core is to create a source of interdimensional crack. But where can I find the source now? Therefore, controlling the core of the crack is not feasible, but this doesn't completely stop me. So, I can only create a new crack outside the original crack. The most important part of the problem is where this new crack leads to. From touching the body of the dragon, I can foresee to some extent. I can only rely on the luck of this dragon.

Dragon language Magic is being prepared. In the "Absolute Tranquil Space," where "time" exists, I can prepare for as long as I want without delaying the dragon.

In an instant, the outer perimeter of the crack opens up to a larger crack. The dragon feels its body has been liberated a lot and slowly moves its body. Behind its massive dragon body, four large dragon wings emerge. It is the Celestial Dragon.

"The Dragon of Time and Space..." The Celestial Dragon important discovers my true identity, but it reveals it in one sentence.

"Who are you..." I start speaking, but I am interrupted by the violent struggle of this reckless dragon. Its entire body struggles and cracks appear. The liberated dragon has a very violent temper.

The giant dragon emerged from the crack and went on a rampage underwater, the murky darkness made it difficult to see me.

"Hey, I just saved you!" After untying the Sealing Demon Knot, the dragon's tail whizzed past me, completely disregarding me as its savior.

"The Dragon Realm is gone, the fault lies in the spacetime! The Dragon Realm is gone, the fault lies in the spacetime! The Dragon Realm is gone, the fault lies in the spacetime! The Dragon Realm is gone, the fault lies in the spacetime!" The dragon repeatedly shouted the same phrase in Dragon language.

Where is the Dragon Realm? What does spacetime mean, is it referring to me? Why me? What is it trying to say?

"Hey fatty, what are you saying? Speak clearly!"

The dragon still didn't answer me, it seemed like it really couldn't hear what I was saying. But it finally saw me in the deep sea, its eyes regained their glow. The Dragon Clan's astonishing recovery ability was no joke.

"Boom!"

Perra was lying on the beach, when suddenly the ground shook violently and the waves pushed up to three to five meters high.

"Master, it looks like there's trouble underwater." Ju Guang had been studying his new body, but he couldn't help but worry about this sudden phenomenon. After all, half of his soul was still in my hands.

The strange occurrences continued on the surface, with fish in turmoil, jumping out of the water or fleeing the area. Eventually, giant waves measuring over a kilometer in diameter rose from the sea, and the dragon emerged from the waves, carrying a golden sword in its mouth, which meant it was carrying me.

"What kind of dragon did this Qin Yang save?"

"You two, how about lending a hand?"

"I'll go!" Perra drew her sword from the sheath, accompanied by her bat wings and vampire fangs that symbolized evil, fully revealing her vampire side.

Perra climbed up the dragon's back to its head, and with a flash of her sword's silver light, she infused the power of countless vampire kings into it. The sword pierced the dragon's nose skin, which was harder than steel.

The dragon emitted heat all over its body. After leaving the surface, the dragon's skin gradually turned red, and the heat radiating from its skin was astonishing. Soon, the dragon became a burning fireball, illuminating the unknown night.

"What kind of fire is this?" Perra was originally attacking the softer part of the dragon's abdomen, but the self-igniting dragon was dangerous, forcing Perra to retreat.

"How would I know, it's a flame barrier. Dragons are good at using flames."

"Are you stating the obvious? Even those with eyes can see that it's good at flames."

The dragon exhaled high-temperature dragon breath, and as we dodged in time, we realized that our sleeves were ignited by the intense heat, while a sea of fire erupted behind us.

"The ungrateful dragon, it's so rude even towards someone who saved it. I'm afraid it doesn't understand the rules here."

"Perra, it's just a deaf dragon, it can't hear anything we say. It just keeps shouting the same phrase in Dragon language."

"I know, but now..." Just as the dragon disregarded everything and swooped down towards us, its momentum could turn us into ashes.

My arm was the first to ignite golden flames, and at the same time, I held Perra in my arms. In the instant that the dragon charged at us, the Flame of Punishment clashed head-on with the dragon's flames.

The impact from the dragon's charge was so strong that I couldn't estimate it anymore. I just knew that in that instant, I couldn't distinguish up from down or left from right. It was truly terrifying for such a colossal creature to collide with us, who were as small as birds.

"Boom, boom~" Gravel and rocks flew on the desolate island beach, the sounds of collision ringing out.

"Ah... it hurts!"

"Qin Yang, your left arm!" Perra was covered in blood, my blood, as she stood beside me.

"Ah, a deep and bone-visible wound... What kind of flame can't even be stopped by the Flame of Punishment?"

"Are the dragon clans from outside really that formidable?"

I covered my continuously bleeding arm. The massive dragon circled in the sky, preparing to turn around for another strike. However, due to its colossal body, it wasn't able to turn quickly.

"We need to stop the bleeding..."

"I'll do it." Perra licked my wound, revealing sharp fangs that made her look like she wanted to devour me.

"Wait, it's coming again!"

Perra and I quickly moved away from the original spot, retreating into the forest on the isolated island. The dragon's breath swept across the ground, igniting the forest, while we hid in the forest, leaning against a towering ancient tree.

"Don't move." Perra pressed down on my shoulder, her hair swirling around, and lightly touched her lips to my bone-visible wound on my arm. She bit her lower lip, and her vampire blood made a sizzling sound as it came into contact with my wound.

"Ouch! Does your blood contain alcohol or something?"

Perra tossed her sword near my feet. Her thigh pushed against my leg, and her body pressed heavily against mine. She clasped my wrists tightly, holding me firmly against the tree trunk.

"Ah, can I handle it myself?"

Perra jabbed my thigh forcefully with her knee, causing a piercing pain.

Dragon flames were everywhere, and the burning timber spread rapidly. Yet, Perra still refused to let go of me.

I felt the temperature was too high, and my body was losing moisture.

"It's done."

Perra released her blood-red lips. Not only had the bleeding stopped, but my flesh had also healed. No wonder a mere drop of fresh blood could turn into a fairy.

We left the burning forest behind. The dragon in the sky probably thought I was already dead and began igniting other small islands. Its body turned into orange flames.

"This fat dragon must have experienced some powerful stimulation or mental damage. Its behavior is akin to a patient in a psychiatric hospital. But the only thing it's clear about is that it wants me dead. What did I do wrong?"

"Do you think it's the right time to discuss reasons or reality? How to make it stop is the key!"

"This wound has proven that close combat is not advantageous. The spatial rift is also closing, and it's probably impossible to stuff it back in."

"This time, we really placed a heavy bet on the wrong outcome. I don't even know if it was right or wrong to save it."

"Let's find a way to get it into the sea. Otherwise, its increasingly high-temperature flames don't seem like a good thing."

"With my current abilities, I am still inferior to the true ancestor. I can only help by buying time and diverting attention for you. But once you bring it back to the sea, what else can you do?"

"At this stage, I still have the ability to extinguish the sea of flames. Once the fire on its body is put out, I can make contact with the dragon and use the 'Dragon Command' of the Holy Dragon to trap it deep in the sea. It's currently the best choice."

"In the end, it will be as if it had never been saved."

"It's become this insane. What else can I do?"

The ultimate fate of the dragon may be permanently or long-term sealed in the depths of the sea. It sounds rather pitiful, but for the Three Realms, a mad dragon must be dealt with. Unfortunately, this giant dragon cannot communicate normally.
