Chapter 632 Welcome to My World (1/2)
As the presence unique to Joshua unfurled, almost all adepts above Gold tier inside Moldavia realized the fact.
”Wasn't gone for long this time.”
”The liege had returned quite early.”
”Wasn't it less than a month?”
Various similar discussions began across all corners of the territories, although after a brief moment of wondering that the warrior did not leave for long this time, everyone went back to work. After all, it was nothing new for the liege to leave his domain—on the other hand, it would really be news if Joshua really stayed for days without going out.
Meanwhile, Joshua and the others were quickly withdrawing their presence over the Great Ajax Mountains.
It had been necessary for them to be unleashing all their power. In the first place, they have to on guard constantly, paying attention to the movements of dimensional ripples and traces of dimensional windstorms, while having to resist the momentous pressure from the Void, never allowing them to relax.
However, there was no need to be so conspicuous now that they had returned to the Mycroft continent. In seconds, everyone withdrew their scent, with the almost-suffocated Lisa feeling much better at once.
”This trip had truly been rewarding, o friend of mine!”
”I have never been so fortunate my who life—Barnil, who would even believe our rewards we got this time?”
At present, the two Legendary mages were all-smiles as they quickly congratulated each other on their return to their homeworld, appearing very satisfied. It was not unusual since both Barnil and William met an Ancient Dragon in its true form and secured firsthand research materials regarding its species from the trip to Kronos. Indeed, they would carve down their names in history once they tabulated their discoveries in detail and wrote everything down as books.
The silver Ancient Dragon was known to the Drakonids on Kronos as the Dragon God and the God of Skies and Thunder, with William even learning through conversations with the dragon itself that they were also called the 'Dragons of Ancestry'. Still, according to how styles and titles were given on the Mycroft continent, those were all merely honorifics for Ancient Dragons—the formal name to be written down in encyclopedias would be the one given by the two: 'Eretomanek', master of electromagnetism, the dragon of lightning storms.
”There are great discoveries besides the Ancient Dragon as well—the first being quite a few civilizations around Mycroft, and one Void Behemoth that existed only in the lens of the Observatory. The Void Behemoth, Leviathan.”
William summarized and nodded, pulling out a screen with a wave and spoke softly as he read the contents. ”More importantly, we witnessed the Ancient Dragon's power of Creation.”
At that, both mages turned at once to Joshua. ”Though that seems too early for us,” William continued, ”but with research and gradual improvements, it's not like us humans could not grasp that power.”
There was no question that the Authority of Searing Soul in Joshua's body had instilled great confidence in the two Legendary mages. Having those two powers would alter humanity from their roots and create possibilities of birthing living worlds, which was without question one of the most important elements for civilization.
—These two are saying all that for my benefit, huh?
Joshua listened to them silently, having generally grasped their meaning. Given that those data would be authored by them and in turn distributed around circles of spellcasters, the pair were now indirectly conveying the gist of it in such a manner, allowing the warrior to mention anything he found incorrect so that they could change it,
Still, Joshua found nothing requiring change and so silently agreed—and both Barnil and William breathed in relief in return. After all, the warrior's reaction was very important given that he was one of the chief parties involved, and everything was much easier since he had no problem with it.
”Joshua, although it's a little out of the blue, William and I will be leaving for the Skypiercing White Tower at once… Ultimately we are nominally hired there, and have to report in.”
William stood in the sky over the Great Ajax Mountains, watching as Joshua left with the Draknoid girl. ”Well we'll be leaving first, catch you next time!”
”It's been one pleasant trip, goodbye,” William added.
Knowing that there would be much time they would see each other in days to come, Joshua waved with his back to them. Then, suddenly sensing something darting toward him with a ripple of mana, Joshua simply reached out and caught it with a backhand, finding that it was a bottle of unique half-liquid, half-gas substance that was akin to an electromagnetic cloud.
”Blood of the Ancient Dragon…” Even as Joshua muttered to himself, the Observer and the two Legendary mages left the skies above the Great Ajax Mountains for somewhere unknown after another massive wave of dimensional ripple.
Meanwhile, the warrior could not help frowning as he held on to the Ancient Dragon Blood while sensing the terrific animated vigor within. ”Could Funa actually withstand such formidable power? Well, it's fine. I'm guessing Hill and the others would have prepared for that—it should be enough.”
There was no question that Joshua was holding the blood of Kronos's Ancient Dragon, and neither was that typical blood but the most fundamental of energy essence. Joshua believed that if he shattered the white crystal bottle and allowed the shroud to spread, the bloodline of all aberrations and humans across the entire Great Ajax Mountains would mutate to some extent, becoming Ancient Dragon kin similar to Drakonids—or, in the very least, unlikely to stay or become pure-blood. It was how Ancient Dragons had influenced primordial life during creation, allowing them to evolve quickly.
And while Joshua pondered the importance of the blood in his hand, Lisa the Drakonid girl peered down in curiosity over the vast world. Syndicate, who had incidentally awakened as well, borrowed her vision to look at the Monarch's homeland.
”Heavens, so majestic…”
Though they were now right above the volcano of the Great Ajax Mountains, they could still clearly see the dense figures of humans within the mountains and forests. In the past few years, mining zones had been constructed over the countless mining points that the survey teams found, with complementary facilities and villages built above the former encampment of the survey teams. With that, the population who had come for resources either through mining or hunting unique monsters within the forest had established new settlements on soil their forefathers never conquered. It was also thanks to the outstanding functionality of magical armor that their development process was ten thousand times easier than their predecessors as well.
”Interested, Lisa?”
