Chapter 172 - Lightning Dragon

After he was transported to the fourth trial ground, Jason couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock as to the sight before him. The trial ground this time around doesn't seem to be on earth as the whole place was covered in a lake of fire with barely enough dry space for someone to stand on. 

"That's it, I am out of this place" said Jason as he lost the will to fight. 

"Are you leaving just like that after coming this far?" asked the bracelet as he was surprised to see Jason giving up just like that.

"You got that right" replied Jason. 

"What about the legacy, don't you want it again" asked the bracelet.

"He can keep his legacy for the next person who manages to make it into this room for I don't need it anymore" reply Jason.

"But still there is no way you will be able to leave this place without clearing this trial" said the bracelet.

"Just watch as I break my way out of here" said Jason before looking at the sky and yelled.

"Hey great ruler, I give up on the challenge for the legacy, I don't need it anymore just get me out of here".

"I am sorry kid but there is no way to leave this mini world not until you have completed the trial" replied the skeleton.

"I can't leave this place unless I have completed the trial" asked Jason with a frown.

"That's right kid" replied the skeleton.

"Then I will have to fail the trial and still leave this place, you're lost" said Jason.

"You should have noticed by now that the only way for you to be considered as a loser, is after your death. So if you don't want to continue anymore, then just throw yourself into the river" reply the skeleton.

Jason's face couldn't help but twitch after hearing the skeleton reply and bend his head to take a look at the sea of fire before cursing the skeleton inward.

"The rules of this trial is quite simple, you will be challenging that dragon over there to a race. If you are able to make it to the finish line before the dragon does, it will be considered your win" said the skeleton after seeing that Jason is no longer complaining.

"You want me to race with a dragon at a place like this" asked Jason with a frown. 

"That is right, kind of easy am I right" replied the skeleton.

"Easy my ass, are you trying to get me killed? How can you call this simple when there is hardly any place for me to send on and let's not forget that my opponent is a dragon who can soar the air and is also immune to fire" said Jason angrily.

"Is anything wrong about that?" asked the skeleton.

"The whole thing is wrong even with you, now I know why you haven't been able to have a successor all these years, it's because you don't want anyone to inherit your legacy. You better call my opponent here let's get this done" reply Jason.

The skeleton was lost of what to say and decided to call the dragon over. The moment the dragon appeared, it took its place before staring at Jason as steam left his nose.

"Ain't you ashamed to be facing someone who is at disadvantage here" said Jason with a twitched face.

"Why should I be ashamed, you want to inherit my master's legacy then you will have to go through me" replied the dragon in a deep voice.

Jason was frozen in place when he heard the dragon speak as he turned to take a good look at it once more. It was a white dragon with scales all over its body with tiny wings under the wings and a thin long horn on its forehead.

"You can speak" asked Jason.

"Of course, I can or do you want me to start acting like those dumb beasts" replied the dragon.

Instead of answering the dragon, Jason turned to the sky as he said. 

"Hey ruler, will it be possible for me to take this dragon along with me after I'm done with the trial".

"Well I can make an exception for you but you will have to clear the trial first before we can talk about that" replied the skeleton after some time.

"That wouldn't be a problem" said Jason with a smile before taking his place. 

"I thought you were angry a moment back, so why do you suddenly have a change of mind" asked the bracelet.

"If I can have that dragon to myself, I will be able to boost my fighting powers to another level" replied Jason with a smile.

"That dragon seems to be a lightning dragon for sure so it would be very beneficial to you if you were able to tame it" said the bracelet.

"More reason why I need to have the dragon for myself" reply Jason. 

Seeing that the young man is interested in it, the dragon lets out a scoff.

'A low life like you want to tame an ancient dragon like me, dream on' thought the dragon. 

Seeing that they have taken their place, the skeleton suddenly spoke up as he began to tell them the rules of the game which is to make it to the door before the other does. After stating the rule, the skeleton gave the signal for them to start.

The moment that instruction was given, the dragon quickly pushed off leaving Jason behind.

"No you don't" said Jason as he activated the lightning boot before taking off. And due to the speed that he was in possession of, he was able to ignore the fire as he speed up and before long he was already behind the dragon who was surprised to see that the young man was quite fast but that is when he noticed the sizzling sound that is coming from his leg and he had to lower its head to take a look only to end up having an astonished look on his face.

"He also practice a lightning technique" said the dragon.
