“……I need to return to the Sacred Tomb!”
When she replied, the voice within his mind suddenly became dignified.
“We dragons are higher existences, and our life cycles are completely different compared to you puny humans. When a dragon dies, we seek for a soul burial, and it is only after our souls return to the sacred tomb that we can obtain our true peace. Our soul is the only thing of significance, our mortal body is actually unimportant to us.”
After pondering for a moment, Shaar questioned her, “In other words, you dragons wouldn’t actually care if someone were to peel off your skin and rip out your tendons?”
The dragon’s voice instantly became annoyed, “You bastard brat! If you dare to do such a thing to my noble body, I ……”
“What are you going to do?” Shaar curled up his lips and said full of disdain, “Are you going to jump out of that stone and bite me?”
“…………” Angered by this unreasonable hillbilly, Dora stayed silent for a minute before slowly saying, “In order to escape Darwin’s treacherous hand, I used a minor spell when I was on the verge of death. Ah, if it happened in the past, that spell would’ve never deceived Darwin. However, since he turned into a human, he lost all of his magic sensitivity. I used most of the power from my soul to cheat Darwin’s eyes, and shrank into a small, concentrated mass in order to escape in your magic crystal. However, my current strength is still very weak, and I can only continue to exist within this magic crystal. Once I leave, my soul would quickly dissipate. Therefore, I am unable to flee from here and return to the Sacred Tomb using my own strength. Otherwise, I will most likely dissipate in an instant, becoming a wandering loose soul with consciousness, unable to have peace ever again…..”
Sacred tomb?
Stroking his chin, Shaar couldn’t help but grow some interest in this matter.
The Dragons’ burial tomb? Wouldn’t that mean that in this tomb there would be many dragon……Corpses?
Shaar, who had already tasted the benefits of a dragon, naturally knew that a dragon’s body was chock full of treasures. Ah, if he could find the tomb of the dragons, even if there were only a big pile of Dragon bones, then……
However, Shaar immediately reminded himself—Since dragons care so much about this Sacred Tomb, then wouldn’t it be heavily guarded? Among other things, even if there were only a few dragons guarding it, with his set of skills, his fate would definitely be to be turned into a midnight snack of the dragons if he went there……
“The tomb that you talk about will surely have a catch. If I really go there, I would probably die without even knowing what happened.” Shaar shook his head repeatedly, “I’m not going to get tricked.”
The voice in his mind continued to bewitch Shaar, “If it was some other fellow who dared to go to the sacred tomb of us dragons, naturally they won’t be able to come out alive. The tomb has a powerful and ancient three-headed dragon as its guardian. When it died, it received the blessings of the dragon god, and was able to restore its mortal body. Its flesh won’t rot for thousands of years, which is almost equal to having eternal life. Its power is incomparable; however, the Dragon god limited it by forbidding it to ever leave the tomb, even for half a step. Even if the fellow was a human Saint-level master, they wouldn’t be a worthy opponent. However, if I lead you and go to the Sacred Tomb, because my soul has the dragon mark imprinted on it, the guard won’t attack you. Therefore……”
Hm? This was actually a good trade……
“However, why do I feel like you’re lying about something?” Shaar gave off a hollow laugh, “So according to you, as long as I bring a dragon, I’d be able to go to the tomb and do whatever I want?”
“Of course not!” The voice in his mind replied, “the Sacred Tomb is the holy land for us dragons. A living dragon, even if it is the Patriarch of a clan, wouldn’t be allowed to enter! Each dragon can enter only once they are dying. Once inside, you can get your own tomb and slowly wait for your death. If a dragon died outside, the soul force of our race is strong enough that it can be separated from our body. Our powerful souls, using its own power, have the capability to return to the tomb by itself……”
“Hm, if you say it like this, then what you say is probably the truth.” Shaar thought for a moment and laughed, “I can actually seriously consider this. Once this war is over, maybe I can set aside some time to help you on this trip……Ah, however these advantages you talked about, you must stick with your end of the bargain.”
“Of course.” The dragon in his mind replied to Shaar, satisfied, “I can teach you some of the Dragon martial arts right now! Hm, although your mortal body can’t be compared to us dragons, it is still much stronger than that of an ordinary human. Strengthened by my Dragonblood, you can barely display some of our fighting techniques. I can teach you a few dragon spells as well, to let you use some low-level dragon magic. You can use this magic to bless the Dragonscale and increase its defensive powers ……”
(Humph, despicable human. While you can go to the tomb with my soul inside your magic crystal, once you lose my soul protection anymore, the guardian of the tomb will rip you to shreds!)
(Humph, this stupid dragon. Does she really think that this uncle is so easy to trick? Alright, let’s see who is playing who in the end……)
A human and a dragon started to grind their axes……
