Chapter 699: Dragon of Gluttony

"Your dragon is very unique as not all dragons have the ability to absorb the power of another. Dragons like that are usually killed at birth as they often grow up as 'Kin-Eaters'. But looking at you, I am pretty sure that you will not let that happen." Nuwa added.

"By Kin-Eater, do you mean that Kanlaon might become something like the Dragon of Gluttony in the legends?" Adrian asked as he knows about the Dragon of Gluttony from the legends that were killed by the gods at least that is what the legend says.

There is a legend passed down to the humans about the Dragon of Gluttony. This dragon is said to have eaten dragons in order to become something like an abomination of the dragon species due to the immense powers it absorbs for every dragon it consumed.

The dragons tried to kill the Dragon of Gluttony, but it is not just an ordinary dragon. It is called the Ancient Dragon of Gluttony as ancient dragons have abilities that are not like that of the ordinary dragons. They possess a unique skill that is inherent to them which is why they are called ancient dragons as their unique skill is called Ancient Power.

The Ancient Dragon of Gluttony is said to have ravaged the land as it is no longer able to satisfy itself with normal dragons and tried to eat the other ancient dragons. It would not also eat just large monsters but also humans as it considered them a snack.

The ancient dragons banded together which should have been impossible since dragons normally do not work together because of their pride. The Ancient Dragon of Gluttony fell in the end as its body is sealed in different areas in order to make sure that it will not reincarnate or revive.

Even the dragons do not like humans passing this story around as they are disturbed by the fact that one of their own is called the Kin-Eater. This is one of the reasons why the dragons started their tradition of destroying eggs that have the possibility of becoming another Kin-Eater.

"For you to be knowledgeable of that event means that the demons have been teaching you the history of this world. It is true though. That ancient dragon told in the legends lived back then but it was not sealed like the story told by the humans.

The Ancient Dragon of Gluttony did die back then as it was dangerous to seal such being that can fully absorb the power of their own kind by committing cannibalism. It has been killed and I even assisted them back then despite me still young.

Your dragon is special as it could actually contain different elements inside of its body. Unlike me that controls the elements from the outside, your dragon is made up of those elements instead. Be careful of the current dragon king as he is very peculiar to say the least." Nuwa stated as she gave a warning to Adrian.

"I already fed Kanlaon a fire and an earth dragon core. I am just making sure that his body achieves elemental harmony of course." Adrian stated as he summoned Kanlaon and gave the dragon orb to him.

Kanlaon then held the Core of the Wind Dragon in its hands and it glowed in a pale greenish hue. The dragon core of the wind dragon then emitted a light that came out of it and Kanlaon absorbed it with his mouth like slurping a noodle.

The dragon core then disappeared from the palm of Kanlaon's claws as it became light that he ate. Adrian immediately received a notification that Kanlaon has successfully absorbed the power of the Wind Dragon but the evolution status for Kanlaon showed no result.

[Your soulbound, Kanlaon, has no evolution pathways as of yet.]

"Strange!" Adrian suddenly muttered which garnered the attention of both Nuwa and Peridot.

"Is there something strange? What happened?" Peridot asked but Nuwa is also paying attention to the words being spoken as she is very curious person.

"Kanlaon did not get an evolution path despite me giving it the Core of a Wind Dragon. He already consumed three of the four basic elements except fire since he was born with that element." Adrian muttered but Peridot shook her head.

"Do you really think that getting all basic elements would trigger an evolution? Let me remind you that it is unnatural for monsters that possess an element to have four of them. Let me tell you what my master has told me about the elements.

There are four basic elements and each of them balance out each other because one of them easily cancels each other. If the elemental harmony is reversed, then great destruction would occur. Nevertheless, these four elements are binded by none other than light and darkness." Peridot stated which gave Adrian a hint on how to proceed.

"From what you are saying, the four elements must be held by two other elements and that are either light or darkness. One cannot live without the other. You do not happen to have a light and darkness dragon core lying about, right?" Adrian stated which made Nuwa choke on her own breath.

Nuwa did not expect that such a person would easily spit out facts that, but she suddenly had a bad premonition. Thankfully, there are no cores for light and darkness dragons in the vault of the House of Creation.

Light and Darkness attributed dragons are the rarest of the dragons due to them being born in a few decades. Light and Darkness attribute dragons are the result of an offspring with a weird disposition. They are born from two dragons that are not of the element of light and darkness.

Light and Darkness dragons are dragons that have a special gene that mutated them into the beasts they are now. The dragons learned that this special DNA would make their child into a powerful variant dragon. The elements of light and darkness are not easily manipulated by dragons with higher persona than them.

The only problem is that they are rare which means that collecting their dragon cores will be near impossible. Adrian could only look at Nuwa with eyes full of anticipation, but the Dragon lady shook her head which meant that he needs to find a way of his own as it is his soulbounds.

"The ancient dragon of gluttony did not just eat dragons, but he also ate the elements around it which made him the most dangerous dragon in the world. It could also eat the elements around it in order to gain their power." Nuwa stated as she dropped a hint for Kanlaon's evolution.

"So, you are saying that Kanlaon should be able to do the same since his innate ability is similar to that of the Dragon of Gluttony. If we cannot have a dragon core, then we could settle for monsters with elemental cores of light and darkness." Adrian stated.

"I only gave you an idea but how you make that idea work would be up to yourself. Take care now, little demon brat." Nuwa stated as she returned to her room in order to rest as she is tired from the day of work that she has committed.

"If you need any help regarding that then you could call me as I am very sensitive towards the elements." Peridot stated as she escorted Adrian to the exit of the mountain since he was barred from teleporting directly to their own base for the House of Creation.

"The flight is in a few days so make sure that you have packed a week worth of normal clothes and outing clothes. We will fly to the other side of the world." Adrian stated as he vanished from the mountain of the House of Creation.

A few days later, Adrian and his family is busy packing for the trip to America where the competition would be held. The Pandemonium developers already sent the tickets to the fans that bought them early so that they could prepare for their departure in the following week.

The fact that the site for all ticket sellers for each country got their site crashing down due to the heavy traffic meant that this event would be massive. The event will be held in the United Center located in Chicago. Some of the players from other countries already flew early as soon as they received their tickets, but they are still not permitted to go inside the venue.

"Are you done packing?" Mina asked Adrian as he was taking too long in packing the necessary things for this trip.

"Yup. I only brought about five pairs of clothes." Adrian replied.

"Good! I am pretty sure mom will go in another shopping spree in that place when we arrive so pack light. Your friends are already downstairs to meet you so greet them." Mina stated as she went down with her luggage.
