Chapter 284: Rumru, The Beast King (1/2)

'You jinxed me, Zowen!' Tang Shaoyang was screaming inside.

————————

Detection Error!!!

————————

A bold bright red notice appeared in his eyes when he tried to use [Basic Detection] on the King of the beast.

As Zowen told him before, the beast king was a Dragon, a real one appeared in front of him. A gigantic and mythical creature that overwhelmed him by just looking at him.

Tang Shaoyang looked down on the spirits who kept telling him to run when he met a dragon, now he realized the reason why. Only the presence was enough to overwhelm him.

Inside a big cave made of crystal, the dragon was sitting and looking at him down with his big eyes. Even though the dragon was sitting, it was still too tall for Tang Shaoyang. Ten meters taller than him.

When their gazes met, Tang Shaoyang froze. He could not move his body, despite the overwhelming presence that pressured him, he did not look away. He looked toward the black scaled dragon into the eyes.

”Are you Tang Shaoyang?” The Dragon opened his mouth and a deafening voice entered his ears. The voice hurt his ears for sure, but then he was surprised.

”How do you know my name?” He blurted out warily. Even since he came into this world, he never told anyone his full name to anyone including his women.

'Is it the Waskin Adventure Guild? They check my adventure badge, but there's no way the dragon is related to the guild. Is it my subordinate?' He could not help but be suspicious about his subordinates since only they knew his full name.

”Don't worry, human. Your subordinates don't betray you, and I haven't met them yet either. You can be at ease, I know your full name from the prophecy of my wife!” The Dragon spoke again as if the dragon could read his thoughts, but soon it noticed Tang Shaoyang seemed uncomfortable.

Suddenly the dragon wrapped in a blinding light. Tang Shaoyang closed his eyes and was alerted immediately. He activated his [Spirit Eyes] and was ready to cast [Spirit Integration] with Zaneos at the moment of danger.

But soon he realized the dragon was doing nothing. Soon he found the gigantic dragon's body vanished under the blinding as an old man with a loose black robe was revealed.

The old man was so thin as if he had been starved for months. It was just skin and bone, he looked so pitiful. However, Tang Shaoyang did not lower his guard in the slightest.

—It's a mortal transformation, that old man is the dragon!

Zaneos warned Tang Shaoyang immediately. As for the dragon, he raised his head and met with Tang Shaoyang's gaze through [Spirit Eyes]. The old man was smiling at him, the first one who could detect the [Spirit Eyes].

At this point, Tang Shaoyang realized that even with Zaneos, his chance of winning was zero. Even when Zaneos at his peak could not kill a dragon let alone him who just borrowed part of his power.

'Escape? It's worth a try, but that will be my last resort,' Tang Shaoyang thought to himself.

While he was in his thoughts, he noticed a coffin made of ice next to the old man. The coffin was releasing frosty steam, and he saw a woman inside the coffin.
