The Elder Anesthesia Dragon continuing to pursue the transcendent path in hiding when its tribe was being hunted down, humiliated, and slaughtered like livestock grown to satisfy the appetite of the Deviant Devil was more than enough information Wyatt needed to know about the Dragon to understand that it was not worthy of his friendship.

Which was one of the main reasons he was capturing it and not trying to turn it into his partner like in the case of Diana Keith. Even though she was a cruel woman, she was good to her family and subordinates. Now that was a woman who lived by her own set of principles and followed them with her life. The World was cruel to her ever since she opened her eyes yet somehow even though she was not good to everyone she found the strength to be good to her people. She could not leave her only family Jaya and trusted subordinates like Cindy to die in her place. If she could do something about it then she would at the cost of her life. Wyatt respected that, which was why he had given someone like her a chance.

The Dragon was the pride of its tribe since its birth and loved by everyone in its tribe but because of its greed, selfishness, and cowardice, it sat by as its tribe was humiliated and slaughtered by the Deviant Devil. It prioritized its pursuit of transcendence ignoring the cries of help of its tribe. The worst thing was it was fully aware of what it was doing yet chose to sit by and chose to ignore the peril of its tribe without any hesitation.

In Dianaʼs case, she had so many things to blame for her bad choices, such as being born in a brothel and growing up on the streets, being recruited by the circle, and being trained as a heartless killer from a very young age. However, as Diana began to understand her actions and their consequences she made a set of principles and lived by them. She even went against her patrons, the Circle, and rebelled at the risk of losing everything. She was somebody who chose— no created a righteous path of her own when life did its best to force her to choose other paths.

When there was no one to care for her in the world, she chose to adopt an orphaned toddler as her sister and gave her the love of a family. In contrast to the Elder Anesthesia Dragon a ruler class being born noble, Diana a mere mortal born in a brothel was someone Wyatt found worthy of his partnership.

Wyatt would never tell this to Diana, but regardless of her previous aggression toward him, he saw something greater in her. A leader not by birth but sculpted out of her will. Even the Southern Royal family did not understand why Wyatt chose to partner with Diana despite their bad past. They believed he chose her out of convenience but they could never see what he saw in her.

It was easy to be good when you have been only taught good and everyone has been good to you. However, it was hard to be good when you have been only taught to hate and everyone has hated your very existence.

Yes, in peopleʼs eyes with her origin and deeds, Diana Keith was not a saintess who drove darkness away, but in Wyattʼs eyes, she was a saintess who found her path out of darkness without letting it taint her.

In Wyattʼs eyes, the noble-born trained assassin Dragon was just a selfish coward and the brothel-kid trained thug was a saintess. Only time would prove if Wyattʼs eyes were correct.

*Roar!*

”Enough! Quit your whining,” Wyatt yelled at the Elder Anesthesia Dragon who was letting out its turbulent emotions through its roar.

”...” the Dragon was dumb-struck and without words. Before it could recover from its bafflement, Wyatt rubbed his brows and said, ”Since I am asking you to make an oath it would not be fair if I did not make an oath to prove that my words are not false.”

”...” The Dragon who just recovered from its surprise was once again dumbfounded, it did not expect Wyatt to be willing to make an oath to it with the blood rule source as the witness.

”I, Dalton Wyatt, In the presence of the Blood Rule Source, take an oath that if the Raukaul Maar is willing to blindly trust me without any question then I will not only help it escape the blood-rule source safely but I will help it regain its innate ability,” Wyatt took the oath even before the Dragon could respond and then locking eyes with the Dragon he said, ”There, I have shown my sincerity, now if you truly trust me then take the oath with the blood-rule source as the witness.”

”...” the Dragon was speechless with the sudden turn of events. If it previously did not believe Wyatt was capable of escaping the blood-rule domains of the Celestial blood-rule slave and the Deviant Devil then now it found itself reconsidering its previous assumptions. So much so that their even a spark of hope in its eyes. A hope that it can regain its innate Dream Escape ability.

”Raukaul, you know the words, say them so we can leave this forsaken place before the Celestial blood-rule slave and the Deviant Devil reduce it to our graveyard,” Wyatt hurried the Dragon noticing that the two apex ruler-class beings were about to crash into each other causing a catastrophic clash that could possible be the end of them.

The reason Wyatt took an oath was to hasten the process and also because he knew that even when in despair, the Dragon was still a selfish coward, it would not become heroic at a momentʼs notice otherwise it would not be that hard for people to change. Dragging people like Dragon into the depths of the abyss took one to enter the abyss itself. Wyatt took the lead knowing the Dragon would follow him. However, he left himself a way out from the abyss but the Dragon had no way out, once it followed Wyatt it would be at Wyattʼs mercy.

”Hahaha! Dalton Wyatt, you are as arrogant as the reason behind your name. I like it,” the Dragon chuckled and then solemnly said, ”I, Raukaul Maar, in the presence of the Blood-

rule source take an oath that I will willingly enter the monster orb with my true body, fortify it with my energy while locking my realm and senses within my true body, and never leave the monster orb until Dalton Wyatt calls upon me.”
