Chapter 290: Problem in the Dragon Valley Too

In the game, Link knew where the Dragon Valley was. In the middle of the game, he was even a frequent guest there, but in real life, he only knew an approximate location.

This time, Felina transformed into a dragon again for Link to ride. Nana also went with because she was now his personal guard.

Felina flew west at an incredible speed, at around 400 miles per hour.

“How long will we fly for?” Link knew that the Red Dragon Valley was in a mountain range in the extreme west, far from the Norton Kingdom. He estimated it was around 2500 miles away.

“If we don’t stop, it might be around eight hours, but with two people, I can’t keep up for that long. I must rest a few times.” The distance Felina said was much farther than Link had estimated.

Flying was physical work. Taking any bit of weight into the sky required great physical input. Link was around 150 pounds while Nana’s full-metal body was more than 200 pounds. These were all extra burdens on Felina. More importantly, her body had just recovered from a serious injury. Her vigor had not recovered fully yet.

It was a long time, and Felina didn’t seem to want to talk. Link was bored, so he looked around. Suddenly, he discovered some odd details on Felina’s body.

The scales under her neck used to be organized, but now there was a disorganized mark. At closer inspection, Link confirmed that it had been damaged by an aggressive force. From the look of it, it seemed like a beast’s claws.

After discovering this, Link observed left and right. He found more healed wounds that weren’t there before.

Dragon’s had 360-degree vision, so Felina caught Link’s stare. “The dark force has affected all the races in the world,” she explained. “Like Wavier, someone of my race also betrayed us. A powerful Red Dragon was lured by the demon god, and dozens of young ones followed him. They led a surprise attack to kill our queen. The attack was very sudden, but thankfully, we forced them back.”

It dawned on Link why Felina seemed more anxious and exhausted at first glance. There had been a disaster in the Dragon Valley.

He noticed that Felina had said “forced them back” rather than “defeated.”

“You weren’t completely successful?” Link asked.

“Yes. Isendilan was once the queen’s husband. He was very powerful, becoming even more so after receiving the demon god’s power. Even the queen could only fight against him for a short period…The situation was very bad.”

Link fell silent. He knew Isendilan!

In the game, Isendilan had many names, such as “Wings of Destruction,” the “Fallen Dragon,” and the “Destructor of the World.” The scariest thing about him was that, even though he’d fallen, he didn’t fully obey the demon god. He still had a level head. He had sunk into sober madness!

That was the scariest thing.

His abilities were shocking as well. In the game, he had fallen near the middle. At that time, the density of Mana had started rising. Isendilan’s power shot up to the Legendary Pinnacle!

Yes, he reached the Legendary Pinnacle, and he was a Dragon, meaning he had nearly endless strength. Even Eliard, who also reached the Legendary Pinnacle in this life, was no match for Isendilan.

If the Red Dragon Queen Gretel didn’t fight against him with the Red Dragon Army, his damage to Firuman would be comparable to the Lord of the Deep, Nozama.

“How powerful is he now?” Link asked.

“The same as the queen. He has broken through the Legendary State, and he has seven subordinates left. The weakest is at the pinnacle of Level-6; the strongest is at the pinnacle of Level-8. There’s also a Dragon Magician…They’re all difficult!”

Here, it dawned on Link. “Isendilan is the main force you said that broke the equilibrium, right? But I just used the Red Dragon Queen’s Blessing potion, and my strength is restricted. I might…”

Even if he was at his strongest point, he would probably die from just the Dragon’s breath if faced with such a legendary Dragon.

Felina shook her head. “No, no, we don’t need you to fight directly. We just want to use your attainments in spatial magic and your deep insight into magic.”

After a short pause, Felina said with slight embarrassment, “Actually, you’re not the only mortal we invited. People from other races have also accepted the invitation…If you can help, the queen will reward you handsomely.”

These words assured Link.

This trip was dangerous, but Isendilan was a big demon king who could easily destroy the world if he wanted. Link should help however he could. Plus, the Red Dragon Queen was generous and wouldn’t let him work for free.

“Alright, I’ll do my best.” Link nodded, agreeing to it.

“Thank you. I believe in your wisdom.” Felina was happy that Link did not reject the request.

From what she knew, many of the geniuses of other races were upset at the invitation. Their reason was simple—this was the Dragons’ problem, so the Dragon race should solve it. It had nothing to do with them, and they had a bunch of things to deal with in their own race. They had no time!

Only half of the invitations were successful.

The journey was long. In order to save her energy for the rest, Felina stopped talking. Link had some free time. “Go on alert,” he told Nana who was behind him. “I want to rest.”
