Chapter 2105 Dragon King



"Oh shit!" Theo was one step too late.

The slime was about to reach the moth as well as the Lightning Saint.

Suddenly, magma fell down from the sky and melted the ground, burning the slime that planned to reach the Lightning Saint.

The Magma Dragon even grabbed the Lightning Saint as though he was planning to bring him away. He wouldn't allow the slime to swallow the former Dragon King.

"If you want to hurt my king, then you have to step over my dead body!" The Magma Dragon declared out loud.

The slime knew that it was impossible to slip past the Magma Dragon's defense within a short period of time. By the time he managed to do it, Theo would have reached their location and stopped him.

So, the slime focused on retrieving the moth.

The slime split the ground open and came out, enveloping the moth's entire body.

"No! He is going to absorb the moth and use the moth's power!" Theo shouted in order to alarm the Magma Dragon.

Even though he had an anger issue and a lack of knowledge, the Magma Dragon was sensitive enough to know what was going to happen.

Without hesitation, the Magma Dragon released a chunk of magma toward the moth, trying to burn it before the slime could reabsorb it.

Unfortunately, the magma only hit the lower part of the body and melted it. The remaining body was reabsorbed by the slime.

By the time Theo reached their position, the slime had finished absorbing the moth.

"Kh." Theo gritted his teeth. He wanted to complain, but he knew that the Magma Dragon wasn't at fault. In fact, he had underestimated the moth's power.

"Human. That moth has the power of Life. It's brimming with life force. In fact, take a look at your surroundings." The Magma Dragon warned Theo, thinking he needed the information.

"!!!" Theo looked around and realized that the trees around here had grown taller, as though they had unlimited growth.

'Another thirteen Big Orders…' Theo thought while sucking a cold breath. One alone was already making the slime a hard opponent to deal with. Yet, it turned out he had another one.

In fact, this might be one of the first Orders the slime had. After all, only with this kind of power could the slime grow this big and strong.

"What is that power?" Theo asked with a serious expression.

"I will explain it to you." The Lightning Saint's voice suddenly reverberated in their ears.

"!!!" The Magma Dragon and Theo turned around. They were trying to protect him, but because of what happened, they almost forgot about him.

The Lightning Saint was lying down on the ground, not having the strength to even stand back up.

The Magma Dragon wanted to say something, but the Lightning Saint had opened his mouth first.

"Theo. I'll tell you about the Life Authority. In exchange, please win the war and fulfill two of my requests. It's not a hard request. I just want you to take care of Ava, my successor, just like how you have always been. And the second one is… whenever you see a dragon, you can beat them up or whatever, but please don't kill them. You can always drag them to this little magma boy as he will explain everything to them.

"If you promise me those two things. I'll tell you about the Life Authority as well as allowing you to kill me."

"What?!" The Magma Dragon opened his eyes wide. "That can't be done!"

The Lightning Saint chuckled and said, "You should help the others stop the slime for now. This conversation will just be me and Theo. Besides, my death will be more beneficial if the one, who still can level up, kills me."

The Magma Dragon wanted to refuse, but seeing the Lightning Saint's eyes made him realize two things. First, they didn't have enough time. Second, this might be the last request from the former Dragon King.

"I understand. But please allow one of my heads to see you off, Your Majesty."

"Mhm." The Lightning Saint smiled. Even though the Magma Dragon was like a brat, he still cared deeply about the Dragon King and the Dragon Race. That was why the Lightning Saint was never angry and even did his best to help him.

As soon as he got the answer, the Magma Dragon flapped his wings, flying toward the slime. At the very least, he would use all his power to stop the slime from going to Theo and the Lightning Saint.

Of course, his left head kept turning back, watching the interaction between the Lightning Saint and Theo.

Theo was using his Telekinesis to float in front of the Lightning Saint's right eye.

"Theodore Griffith…" The Lightning Saint muttered his name. His eyes lost his focus not because his consciousness faded away but because he recalled the first time they met.

Back then, the Lightning Saint was flying toward the goblin experiment's facility after noticing the change in the balance.

"Maybe I should expel all those humans altogether. Or should I destroy their base to make sure they don't disrupt the balance? Monsters and humans can live side by side, but that only applies to a small portion of humans. And those who are causing this shouldn't be among them."

The dragon had that kind of thought when he was flying. But everything began to change when he arrived at the scene.

It was at that time he discovered Theo and Ava.

Of course, Ava was hidden in Theo's pocket, but her lightning element piqued his interest.

'There is a monster among them?' The Lightning Saint frowned and realized there was a small rabbit that seemed to be living together with Theo. Her strength was close to the Order, so it was more noticeable.

And that was when the shock came to him. A rabbit that strong actually befriended and even lived together with a human? It was ridiculous.

When he checked on the human, Theo, he realized there was a King Class Monster protecting Theo. And that monster might be related to the rabbit. It didn't take too long for him to see the connection between Ava, Avarice's Seal, and Theo.

The last human that managed to pique his interest was twenty years ago. It was Leonardo. However, it seemed that at the end of his life, there was one more life he wanted to converse with.
