[Stop talking and get in the vehicle]
Faced with Anfa’s sentimental reflections on Xio, Ian made the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon open its mouth, revealing the channel to the cockpit: [Everyone is here, please temporarily block the marks left by your mother and anything else on you]
"Okay." Although she spoke instinctively due to everything she had experienced in a short time, Anfa quickly calmed down and understood the situation in a brief time.
Apparently, Ian had already defeated the Labyrinth Master and seized its body!
Although Anfa couldn’t comprehend how Ian accomplished this, she was equally astonished by the result.
"Oh, everyone’s here?"
After Anfa blocked the marks left by her mother and Chairman Yafarda, and entered the reactor cockpit inside the Dragon Body, she couldn’t help but marvel, "I didn’t expect it to be so spacious inside."
"Are all dragon stomachs this large? Will my stomach be in the future?"
"Not necessarily." To this question, the only real dragon among the four, True Dragon Xio, explained quite professionally: "For instance, I inherited the ’Decay Decomposition Furnace’ from my mother, mainly absorbing energy and condensing pure Aether or Source Quality Crystals as body components."
"My current Furnace Core is a ’Spirit Essence Extraction Furnace,’ primarily converting intake into Subspace material through the Domain of Void transformation reaction, enhancing my Spirit Energy abilities."
"The ’Biochemical Reactor’ of the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon essentially acts as an internal alloy furnace, similar to the Qing Steel Dragon, primarily using a plethora of metallic substances and an extreme Origin Quality environment to ’ascend’ metals as raw materials for its own body forging. The Qing Steel Stone is a byproduct of this ascension reaction, which can be understood as furnace slag."
"Anfa, have you decided to become a dragon?" While Xio was tirelessly explaining the various different True Dragon Furnace Cores, Yisen keenly observed Anfa’s change.
Previously, Anfa had always been calm, even appearing reliable and steady, but she harbored concerns in her heart, somewhat absent-minded.
Not only Yisen, but Ian also noticed it... However, regarding choices about her own future, friends can encourage and assist, but they cannot truly choose a path for her.
Only she can decide which direction she wants to take.
And now, Anfa has made her decision.
"Yes." The Elf Girl smiled as she responded, "I used to always doubt whether my existence held any meaning... But now thinking back, it was all just overthinking."
"My mother... and father. They’ve always been watching over me, and although they might be too busy or for other reasons unable to be by my side, whatever choice I make, they will always support me. Just thinking of this suddenly makes everything less frightening."
"It’s just a pity..." Turning her head, Anfa looked towards the Dragon Bone Plaza outside the Dragon Body with slight regret: "We only met once..."
"You guys who still have parents should notice, and don’t say things like that in front of me."
While Yisen and Xio were sharing the sentiment of a single-parent family atmosphere with Anfa, Ian said, somewhat disgruntledly, "Everyone, focus up, it’s not over yet."
"Anfa, it might sound a bit presumptuous to say this, but we must immediately secure your father’s Dragon Crystal and Divine Marrow—you wouldn’t want them to fall into others’ hands, would you?"
Anfa patted her face, returning to her original calm state, and said seriously, "When I talked with my father earlier, he mentioned that Dragon Blood contains a terrible curse. While a Fifth Energy Level powerhouse can gain a second life through it, towards the end of this second life, they’re susceptible to invasions and corrosion by demons brought on by the curse."
"And the Divine Marrow and Dragon Crystal my father left behind are also imbued with an extremely terrifying concentration of curse..."
Saying so, the Elf Girl locked eyes with Ian, speaking with great seriousness, "The curse in my Dragon Soul and blood has been mostly removed, but just the little remaining part, if I’m not careful, could lead to madness." For original chapters go to novèlfire.net
"Yet, the ’legacy’ left by my father is filled with the curse he bore in his prime... Ian, I know your goal is my father’s legacy, and my father hinted, saying his power was left for a ’Creator’s Heir’ like you."
"But I still want to tell you... if you cannot find a way to remove the Dragon’s Curse, it’s best not to rashly undergo the ’Inheritance.’
"I know." Ian lowered his gaze, smiling lightly, "Of course, otherwise who wouldn’t want the power of a dragon?"
"The transmitters and guides of civilization... Once a Star Guardian Dragon witnesses the civilization it shelters and guides collapse, it will inevitably bear all the curses and despair born from the destruction of that civilization, from which Void Demons emerge, becoming the malignant tumor attached to Dragonblood."
The reason Ian doesn’t have such poison is likely that the curse within the ’Ancient Dragon Heart Core’ was long removed by Inega II and Hiliard.
Rather, the ’Mad Dragon’ they once hunted was driven mad due to the curse, wasn’t it? Only such a dragon would the Dragon Island tacitly allow to become a target for extermination.
The method to dispel the curse... Perhaps this is exactly the secret technique major forces with various Dragonblood inheritances keep hidden.
