Chapter 1238 - Dragon Inheritance (1/2)
Angelina clearly recalled that when she ran out of the tunnel, it was just a seemingly ordinary, ice-cold, and dim stone path. But now, the path unveiled before her eyes was the complete opposite. Beautiful magical runes unfolded linearly, drafting mesmerizing patterns on the ceiling and ground like running water. A dark, serene aura pounced on their faces. At a glance, the tunnel was like a gorgeous and atmospheric palace corridor.
“It isn’t?
Rhode gazed at Angelina with knitted brows and turned around to size up the path that lit up with a white brilliance. Indeed, Angelina didn’t mention anything about the tunnel before. Even if escaping frantically, she couldn’t have missed this detail. And now…
“Are you sure?”
“This… Master, everything is exactly the same, at least before you opened the stone door… But now… I don’t know what is going on…”
Gazing at the mysterious tunnel once more, Angelina lacked the confidence she once had. Even though she trusted her memories, this reality was too conflicting, after all. She didn’t know which was true. But Rhode didn’t give it much thought. He narrowed his eyes at the transparent sword in his hand and shook his head. Then, he restored his expressionless face and strode ahead in large strides.
“Let’s go.”
Unlike the confused Angelina, Rhode seemed to realize something. It was clearly the same door and yet, the path behind was entirely different. This phenomenon also existed in the game of the Dragon Soul Continent. The map and location would turn out completely different from the main storyline according to the adventurers’ equipment level, mission completion rate, reputation, race, and other factors. An NPC protected by the party might turn out to be the final BOSS that another party was looking to slaughter. Due to that reason, when Angelina said the tunnel was different, Rhode considered the issue in this direction immediately.
Fortunately, even when the content behind the door was different, the dungeon map was still the same. Therefore, as long as one entered and spent some time searching for it, one would be able to find the target location. That was why Rhode headed off without any hesitation. Looking at this scene, Angelina couldn’t help but gape at him. She eventually didn’t say a word, but followed him on the path instead.
Dragon soul power.
The instant Rhode entered the door, he sharply detected the presence of dragon soul power. It flowed and fused with the veined patterns of the tunnel. Rhode couldn’t help but knit his brows. For some unknown reason, he instinctively felt like even though it was true dragon soul power, it was entirely different from Ion’s… How should he put it? It was as though when one compared an authentic and fake product. Even though the touch didn’t feel any different, an expert would recognize any difference between them immediately. Right now, this was what Rhode felt. This dragon soul power was apparently much purer and stronger than Ion’s.
What exactly is going on?
Rhode extended his arm and held onto the wall, sensing the flowing dragon soul power. The warm power undulated as though it were asleep. Not only that, but he also felt like the energy was powerful, ancient, and was even comparable to his Void power!
How strange… If the Dark Dragon possessed such powers, I shouldn’t have been able to overrun him in the game…
At this thought, Rhode couldn’t help but suspect. In the past, he thought that the Dragon Soul Continent was purely a game. But now, he believed that there were differences between reality and the game. But after learning the truth of the game, he knew that the situation definitely wasn’t as simple as he had imagined. Back then, the Void Dragon inherited less than one-tenth of the Void Dragon’s power and yet, it still managed to wipe out Rhode’s 100-man elite party. If Ion possessed such powers, Rhode couldn’t have possibly led players to annihilate him… Not only that, but for some reason, a hot topic that was once debated by players on the forum also cropped up in his mind.
Who is the strongest Creator Dragon?
This thread on the forums hadn’t died down ever since debates began. As players belonged to different camps, they were naturally interested in the topic. While the game was in the Light and Darkness version, there were hundreds of thousands of discussions centering around it and almost no players could convince one another. Only after Rhode led his party and trampled on the Dark Dragon did the discussion come to a conclusion.
No matter how powerful the Creator Dragons were, they couldn’t compete against players.
But was that the truth?
Rhode didn’t think so. As a matter of fact, even among the elites of Starlight, there also wasn’t any debate because after killing the Dark Dragon, people were bursting with confidence as they urged Rhode to lead them to wipe out the twin dragons. As soon as they did it, Starlight could dominate the Dragon Soul Continent!
