Free Web NovelChapter 185: Chapter 100: It’s Time to Tame the Red Dragon, Symbol of Destruction!
Su Xuan stared intently at Naida and the Dragon Egg in her arms, his theory growing more and more certain.
If this was true, it would mean the Red Dragon Race had hidden the Black Radiant Dragon’s Heart Scale in an extremely secret location. Now that the Red Dragon Race had been wiped out, only Naida, having come into contact with this Dragon Egg, had a chance to track down its whereabouts.
"Naida, besides remembering your name, has anything else come to mind?" Su Xuan asked her gently.
"Anything else..."
Naida fell silent for a moment before shaking her head in confusion. "I’m sorry, Mr. Su Xuan, I haven’t remembered anything else yet. But, ever since I found my child, I feel like some fragmented memories are slowly starting to return..."
A bright glint flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes!
’It’s exactly as I guessed. Naida’s memories are actually recovering! It’s just that it hasn’t been long, so there’s no significant progress yet.’
"Get some rest. Your memories will come back slowly."
Su Xuan said softly, gently stroking her hair to comfort her.
"Mhm~" freewebnøvel.coɱ
Naida nodded obediently and returned to the Soul Crystal Ball.
Su Xuan tidied up a bit and walked out of the room.
At that moment, Rosaline and the other members were resting in the Guild hall. After the fierce battle with the Bone Dragon, their Magic Power and stamina were severely depleted, and they desperately needed time to recover.
Seeing Su Xuan emerge from the room, Lucia immediately asked, "Find anything?"
’We paid such a high price to deal with that Bone Dragon. We can’t have come away with nothing.’
"Yeah," Su Xuan nodded lightly, a trace of uncertainty in his voice. "We might have a lead on the Black Radiant Dragon Heart Scale."
When Lucia heard this, her golden-red eyes, veiled by white gauze, instantly lit up. In a flash, she appeared before Su Xuan like a phantom, so close they could almost feel each other’s breath.
Lucia’s eyes were fixed on Su Xuan, her tone laced with tension and gravity. "Are you sure it’s the Black Radiant Dragon’s Heart Scale?"
Su Xuan nodded, a little surprised and confused by her reaction.
’In my memory, the Holy Maiden is always calm and collected. An emotional outburst like this is rare.’
"What is it?" Su Xuan asked.
"I admit, I don’t know much about the Crimson Dragon," Lucia continued, "but I do know a little about the Black Radiant Dragon."
As she spoke, a nostalgic look filled her eyes. "Because the Black Radiant Dragon once collaborated with the Bright Church Court and signed a contract with a Pope."
"The Black Radiant Dragon collaborated with the Bright Church Court?"
Su Xuan furrowed his brow, lost in thought.
"Yes." Lucia nodded slightly, her eyes glimmering with recollection. "It was originally a Demigod Level Black Dragon that evolved into the Black Radiant Dragon after being inspired by the Power of Light. However, due to a certain incident, its sins brought about the descent of a Holy Judge. The Black Radiant Dragon fought a fierce battle with the descended Holy Judge for three days and three nights, ultimately falling at the Peak of the Holy Spirit."
"A Demigod Level Black Dragon?" Su Xuan’s eyes narrowed, his confusion deepening.
’The Black Radiant Dragon’s Heart Scale... Why would it be with the Red Dragon Race?’
’And what kind of incident would cause a Holy Judge to descend and kill it?’
’Still, the power of a Holy Judge is truly terrifying. To think one could easily obliterate a Demigod.’
According to the game’s settings as Su Xuan knew them, Levels 95 to 99 were demarcated as Demigod. A state beyond Demigod, the realm of the Gods, didn’t seem to exist on this continent. The power of a Demigod was undoubtedly the apex on the Magic Continent, yet that Holy Judge’s power far surpassed it, which was astonishing.
However, Lucia couldn’t answer Su Xuan’s questions. These matters were all top secrets of the Bright Church Court, some even involving the secrets of a Pope. A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes; she couldn’t tell her President everything she knew.
As for a Demigod Level Giant Dragon’s Heart Scale, its value was self-evident. The Heart Scale and the Reversed Scale were two unique scales on a Giant Dragon’s body, each containing indescribable power. This was more than enough to explain why Lucia was so stirred.
"If we could obtain the Black Radiant Dragon’s Heart Scale, it might be a great help to us," Lucia murmured, deep in thought.
Su Xuan’s eyes filled with curiosity. He stared at Lucia, eager for more details. However, Lucia merely gave him a passing glance and said softly, "It’s getting late. I’m returning to the Church Court."
With that, she left the Guild.
"..."
Su Xuan watched her leave, momentarily speechless. ’The sun hasn’t even set yet!’
’Whatever. I should go help Rosaline get a new Oath Sword forged first.’
Su Xuan opened his player interface. Although Players couldn’t forge weapons themselves, some Adventurers specialized as Blacksmiths and could be commissioned for the job.
He immediately started looking for a Blacksmith on the world channel. Thanks to trade contracts, Players didn’t have to worry about the Blacksmith stealing the finished weapon.
Soon, Su Xuan received a reply from a Player.
Red: "What do you need forged?"
Su Xuan froze for a second when he saw the Player’s name.
’Why does that name look so familiar?’
’Wait a second.’
’Isn’t this the person I bought the Flame Gemstone from?’
Su Xuan: "It’s you?"
Red: "..."
Red: "Quite the coincidence. So, what do you need? Low-grade Forging Stones are 5 silver, Middle-grade are 50 silver, and High-grade are 5 gold. As for Top-grade Forging Stones... I don’t have any."
Su Xuan thought for a moment. Forging Stones were crucial for improving a weapon’s quality—the higher the stone’s grade, the higher the chance of creating a High Tier weapon. Of course, the most critical factor was still the quality of the base materials.
"The High-grade Forging Stone, then." Su Xuan steeled himself and paid the hefty sum of 5 gold to have a higher-tier Oath Sword forged for Rosaline.
’The original Oath Sword was Elite quality. Adding a Legendary-quality Black Dragon Reversed Scale should at least get it to Epic, right?’
’If I’m lucky, I might even get a Legendary weapon out of it!’
"It should be done by tomorrow."
"Okay."
After teleporting the materials, Su Xuan closed the chat window. When he turned around, he found Rosaline staring at him intently.
A hint of unease flickered in her eyes, born from the anxiety of a Knight who had lost her sword.
"Don’t worry, it’ll be ready for you tomorrow," Su Xuan reassured her gently. Only then did the tension in Rosaline’s brow finally ease.
"Thank you."
Rosaline replied gratefully before heading to the training room.
WHOOSH...
Su Xuan let out a long sigh of relief. With Rosaline’s broken sword problem solved, the next thing he had to deal with was that irritable Crimson Dragon.
If not for the effects of [Soul Hook], he suspected a single glance from the Crimson Dragon would be enough to turn him to ash.
With a turn of his thoughts, Su Xuan entered the Soul Space.
When Su Xuan saw Mare Rhine’s enormous draconic eyes, his heart tightened. Even though this was their second meeting, he was still struck by her sheer majesty!
"Human, kneel before me now! I can forgive your foolishness and grant you a quiet death!"
The Crimson Dragon’s furious roar echoed through the Soul Space, making the entire dimension tremble.
Su Xuan responded calmly, his voice devoid of fear. "Mare Rhine, I want to talk."
Mare Rhine stared at Su Xuan in confusion. She didn’t understand why this human was so confident and fearless. Did he not know he was facing a legendary Giant Dragon, the very symbol of destruction?
In ages past, any human who laid eyes on her would be scared into a dead faint. So why was he...
Had her fearsome reputation faded after several millennia, no longer able to strike terror into the hearts of humans?
Her Fire of Destruction had once incinerated several Human Kingdoms!
Of course, those kingdoms had met such a fate entirely due to their own greed, for they had attempted to steal her treasure!
She never showed mercy to those who greedily tried to steal a Red Dragon’s hoard!
