Carison fled with a slash wound across his chest, still bleeding from the reflection of his own strike. He fled to the base with the portal gate. Then he saw Burning and Randal came toward him.

”Why are you here, Carison? Where are Esteven and Zendia?” Randal questioned The Sword God. He and Burning stopped in front of the wounded Carison. Both were surprised by the big wound on his chest.

”Itʼs a dragon! Itʼs a fucking dragon! That asshole just called both of us to face a dragon. That moron!” Carison was mad that he almost died because of Esteven.

Esteven just called him and Zendia even though there was a dragon instead of calling them all. The worst part was that the dragon seemed to be the strongest dragon than the one he had ever met.

”Where are Esteven and Zendia?” Burning repeated the question.

”Esteven went to the Osligia Kingdom. The dragon apparently broke the barrier. As for Zendia…. he is still fighting the dragon, I think,”

Randal grabbed Carisonʼs collar, ”What!? Are you insane? You left Zendia alone to fight the dragon?”

”What do you want me to do? I tried to help, but look?” Carison showed his deep wound. The wound was healing, but it was so slow for a God Rankʼs regeneration with a high Vitality.

”Zendia is not stupid. He must know the dragon is too strong for both of us, and he will—” Before Carison finished his words, he was thrown to the ground by Randal.

Boom!

It was just a normal with no skill, not really hurting him. He immediately got back on his feet only to realize a massive shadow loomed over him. He looked up and saw the trail of the frost breath where he was just now.

Randal was not throwing out of spite but to save him. Burning and Randal regrouped with him on the ground.

”I never saw this type of a dragon….” Burning muttered gravely. It was bad news to face a dragon they did not really know much about.

To kill the first dragon, they did a lot of research and measures to kill the dragon. Identifying what kind of poison would work on this type of dragon and so on. They barely killed it after making an escape when the dragon was poisoned.

”Itʼs wrong to leave Zendia alone, but itʼs Estevenʼs fault. He indeed should call us all instead of just calling Zendia and Carison,” Randal agreed that it was Estevenʼs fault.

Esteven was too prideful to ask him and Burning for help which ended up in this situation.

”We canʼt fight it! We must escape!” Carison did not think that even with three of them they could kill the dragon.

”We can if Esteven can bring Lunea back,” Randal was confident that as long as Lunea was with them, they could kill any dragon. Since Esteven went to the Osligia Kingdom, he must think about facing the dragon with Lunea.

Despite their differences, Lunea would help them to fight the dragon. At least that was what Randal thought.

Esteven picked up his face, flying as fast as he could reach Lunea. It just took him two minutes with his maximum speed to reach The Capital of Osligia Kingdom.

He was surprised to see what happened in the capital. It seemed the capital was in chaos before his arrival. He noticed a lot of soldiers on the street, especially around the temple.

”I Guess they are alarmed that the barrier broke,” His eyes locked on the temple and immediately rushed toward the entrance.

If not for the dragon, he did not mind annihilating this annoying kingdom that had been obstructing him from reaching Lunea. But he did not have time for that while Carison and Zendia fought the dragon.

As he landed in front of the temple, he realized the temple was in chaos as well. The knight stationed outside the temple seemed to rush into the temple.

ʼWhat happened?ʼ

Then the main entrance was broken open as two demon bodies flew. It was the faceless demonʼs body. Both died with a hole in their chest. What surprised him was the fact that the demon was inside the Temple of Light.

Then following that, a figure came out of the entrance. It was the Draconic people, and to his surprise, the knight made a way for him. Another surprise was the fact that the Draconian was looking straight at him.

Esteven looked back, but there was no one behind him but the knights who tried to get to the temple. That meant the Draconian was looking at him.

ʼDid he recognize me?ʼ

Esteven then looked back at the draconian and was surprised to find another three pairs of wings. It was not the dragon wing with scale, but black feather wings, overlapping with the dragon wing.

”I guess you will not remember me. I was just nobody back then.” The Draconian talked, but Esteven did not really remember about the draconian. It was one of the races in Aqura. They lived reclusive and rarely showed up.

However, there were a few who joined the Adventurer Guild, and one of them was The Cardinal. That was why people were not surprised by the Draconian.

”Ten years ago, you and your friends gave me a class. Ten years ago, you also almost killed me, right before the game started.”

ʼTen years ago? Right before the game?ʼ Esteven furrowed his brow. It did not take long for him to remember the clue.

He remembered a player that came from another world. He almost killed that player, but the System prevented him from doing so. It could be said it was that incident that triggered the game. After that day, Lunea left them as well.

”It seems you remember. I come back to kill you now,” Tang Shaoyang then summoned Rumru, the Black Dragon, ”I will give you a premium viewing, Rumru.”

Esteven was shocked to see the missing black dragon. They had been looking for The Black Dragon for a long time, but he did not expect Rumru to be a summon to this man.

”You should not look away from your opponent, Clown!”

Esteven widened his eyes as Tang Shaoyang appeared in front of him with the battle ax. He did not really notice when Tang Shaoyang moved.
