429 Laexs Play (1/2)

But before Ruik could get close to him, a flash of Purple Lightning appeared on his way and stopped his advance. Obviously, it was Krune who intervened.

”Ruik, you are being unfair with Laex.”

Ruik was taken aback.

”What are you talking about? If he tells the Dragon Race, it will put Liriu in extreme danger. Are you telling me to just let it happens?”

Krune shook his head.

”Can't you understand his side? Do you have any idea how much commitment he had to put into it to tell us the truth? As far as we are regarded, Laex could have simply stayed silent and create an excuse to leave the Wisp Main World. No one would suspect anything.”

”Not only that. Cinty is not here at the moment, and she is the only one with a Cultivation High enough to stop him. Still, he did not make a move on Liriu. Telling us the truth and not killing Liriu himself. If this doesn't show how much he cares about him, then I don't know what it is.”

After hearing that, Ruik's rage deflated like a balloon, completely disappearing a moment later.

Krune sighed out in relief.

”This has nothing to do with him wanting to hurt Liriu. In the Dragon and Phoenix Races, this is considered a calamity through and through. It might be regarded as even worse than the Wisps' situation at the moment. Laex also knows that, so he has to fulfill his duty as a member of the Dragon Race.”

Krune looked at everyone and then said.

”If any of us was in his skin, I'm sure you all would do the same thing. At the very least, I know that I would. In the end, the needs of the race is a lot more important his own.”

Laex had indeed spent a lot of time with Liriu in the past years. So he was very fond of him. This was also a tough decision for him. If one paid attention, they would notice him clenching his fist so hard that his nails entered his palm.

”The fact that he did this much is already enough for us to know that he wishes Liriu's safety. So don't make things harder than it is.”

Ruik understood the logic behind it, but he still couldn't accept it. He simply turned around and went back to Liriu's side. Liriu was still sleeping due to his tiredness, so he wanted to stay by his side.

Krune then looked at Laex.

”Thanks for letting us know about it.”

Laex was surprised by this and then smiled bitterly.

”Anyway, it is not like I need to leave the Wisp Main World to make my report. So I guess I will stay here for the time being.”

Everyone looked at Laex, puzzled. Isn't he leaving the Wisp Main World after this?

Laex then said.

”It is as krune said. This is my duty as a member of the Dragon Race. I must inform the elders about it. But after that, I'm free to do whatever I want.”

”Laex? Why are you calling me? Didn't I tell you last time that I'm resting?”

Krune and the others were taken aback. It had been years since they last called this fire Dragon. Does it mean that Laex's Uncle had been resting in that pool since then? However, when they stopped to think about how old he probably is and his cultivation, those few years probably meant nothing to him.

”Hey Uncle, I'm just calling to tell you that I found a Dracophoenix. Also, it seems like I feel under his control due to his bloodline. Because of that, I won't be able to help any more than what I'm doing now. It seems like I'm using my last will power just to tell this much. Oh! I'm losing control. Ohhhhh nooooo! I can't fight against his bloodline anymore. Ohhhhhhh...
