Chapter 19 —Millenium Contrac (1/2)

Those inside were oblivious to the situation outside, and those outside were just as oblivious to the situation inside.
Bang! Another forceful collision. Finally, the enormous dragon’s body fell from the air. Its wings looked as though they were merely fluttering.
Yun Wu’s condition was not much better; her clothes were in tatters, and some fresh wounds were dripping with blood. Not to mention, this was her state even with the defensive ability protecting her.
By comparison, in terms of injuries, the dragon was actually in a much more advantageous position, since its scales were on par with a set of invulnerable armor. At most, the impact of slamming against the wall numerous times had left a few red marks.
Ironically, it had knocked itself into confusion, which was the reason for its cessation. Yun Wu gasped for air. Likewise, she had lost the strength to continue punching. Nonetheless, she kept her grip on the dragon’s neck fur and panted, “Let’s take a break, I need to catch my breath.”
“You….. I’ve never met a human as difficult as you before.” The Redfire Dragon gnashed its teeth.
She smiled and laughed at its words, “I’ll have to thank you for your praise. However, I’ve never met a dragon as ruthless as you before either. I appreciate that.” Actually, in both lives, she had only ever met this one dragon.
The Redfire Dragon snorted, but its mood had improved a bit. “Hmph, I don’t care for your appreciation. Don’t think I’ll let you off just because you said a few flattering words.”
The dragon’s change of self-address from “this prince” to “I” also gave away its change in attitude. Yun Wu didn’t mind its haughty response. She asked curiously, “Seriously though, Brother Dragon, why are you locked up in this place? From what I see, you’re mighty and formidable, so how come this little basement is able to confine you?”
Even though the Dragon Ascension Scroll had informed her that the dragon was sealed up by a Summoner belonging to the manor, she didn’t quite understand the strength of Summoners. How was the Yun Summoner able to imprison the Redfire Dragon for so long?
At the mention of the Summoner, the beast’s anger rose again, “Hmph, if it weren’t for that loathsome Yun Tianxia’s petty schemes, how could I have been tricked into this place? That loathsome Yun Tianxia… when I get out of here, he’ll be the first one I shred and devour.”
The amount of wrath it felt could practically be heard in the grating of its fangs. Alas, after so long, the Redfire Dragon’s target had probably already died and disintegrated into ashes.
“Why wait for that day to come, huh? Why not just charge out today?” Yun Wu continued to prob cautiously. The Redfire Dragon’s eyes burned with anger, its words startled her. “You think I don’t want to charge out of here? That Yun Tianxian used a Millennium Contract spell to bind me to this underground palace. Even if I managed to reduce this place to shambles, I would still have to wait out the full thousand years.”
A Millennium Contract?
