The claws of a giant dragon carefully wrapped their treasures inside them, and Ionas also used dragon magic to make a barrier, in case the wind ruined the neatly combed light golden hair of the person in his palm.
Lu Heng’s magical attack was once again in vain. The golden dragon, originally having rough and thick skin, was immune to magic attacks. Lu Heng had assumed that the magic attacks should be able to deal a little damage, but he did not expect that more than a dozen magical attacks would sink into the sea without stirring up even the tiniest ripple.
He may have angered the dragon, or else he would not suddenly be trapped inside a protective shield. Lu Heng gave up. In order to tear the shield apart, he estimated that he would have to completely exhaust the power of the Holy Light in his body. He was currently unable to supplement his power of light with prayers and he had already used up a considerable amount of the power of light.
Even if the shield could be torn apart, Lu Heng could not escape alive without the power of the Holy Light to float through the clouds beneath him.
Feeling that the human princess in her palm was quiet, Ionas thought she might be tired and resting, and tightened his paws so that the light would not disturb her sleep.
Perhaps the dragon was afraid to reveal the secrets of Island, since the fist was so tight that it blocked its view. Lu Heng guessed in his mind that the golden dragon was a demigod and somehow remained on the mainland. The Armageddon did not affect the Dragon race, but as a demigod, the Dragon must know a lot about the secrets of the divine realm.
He had hidden himself, but was eventually found out. Lu Heng sat in the darkness, feeling a little nervous. His secret actions might have been exposed by now. Once exposed, Pope Joseph’s grim fate would surely befall him. 1
After all, in this theocratic world, he was defrauding the name of God and deceiving believers of faith and once the fanatics discovered the truth involving their devotion, how angry will they be.
Lu Heng felt that the speed of the Dragon seemed to slow down, and then he was let out from the claw prison and saw the light again before his eyes. As soon as his vision cleared, Lu Heng saw the huge golden pupils almost sticking to his face.
Even if his Majesty the Pope was calm and elegant normally, he was startled and subconsciously stepped back. While stepping backward, Lu Heng felt a strange sensation through his feet, and he looked down.
He found himself standing on a huge mountain of gold coins. The gold coins were exquisitely made. The carved patterns on each coin were unique. The exquisite beauty could only come from the hands of the white elves.
Elves did not like gold, and gold products produced by them were naturally scarce. Ordinary aristocrats, who could get one or two gold coins from the hands of white elves, treated them as supreme treasures and stored them well in crystal boxes. And here, they were casually strewn across the ground, piled up into a high hill.
‘My treasure is indeed the most dazzling in the world. Even on top of my most proud collection, it remains dazzling.’ Ionas stared at the person in front of him and praised his eyes for being able to find the most beautiful human princess praised in the minstrel’s song at a single glance.
‘As such, I reluctantly forgive them for offending the great dragon lord. After all, they did their part in giving me my most precious treasure. However, is her royal highness not satisfied with my collection of treasures?’ Seeing Lu Heng staring at the gold coins by his feet, Ionas felt a little worried.

I imagine his collection to be like this. Found this image online.
“You…” Ionas was trying to ask her when he realized just how small her royal highness was when the air that he blew out of his mouth scattered her neat long hair into disorder.
Lu Heng put a few strands of blonde hair in front of him behind his head and found that the dragon in front of him had disappeared. Instead, there was a tall figure standing on the open ground below. Lu Heng made a leap to the next step, applying a floating magic and landing slowly.
Only then did Lu Heng see the human form of this demigod Ionas, which was somewhat unexpected. Dragon people were usually tall, and Ionas was no exception. He was very tall, but his face was that of a teenager.
A Gold Dragon in human form, with short black hair and golden eyes- the whole face was as perfect as the proudest works of art by the white elf craftsmen. Just, it was unexpectedly young.

The juvenile Dragon Lord raised his chin slightly: “I am the guardian of time, Creator, Lord of the earth, manager of space, lord of storms, dragon lord, Ionas.” 2
“Your Excellency Ionas, Dragon Lord.” Lu Heng put his hand in the elaborate robe of the priests and made a ceremonial greeting.
“Princess of Mankind, I allow you to call me Io.” Ionas looked nonchalant, but Lu Heng felt that his eyes were full of expectation.
“Io, I’m a man.” The Pope was known for his gentle and amicable bearing.
“What!” Ionas’s face cracked. “I merely slept a bit. Has the human kingdom changed so much that a man can be a princess? The bard spoke differently. These bards are liars. But that’s okay. I don’t mind.”
