Chapter 533 [533]...achieve our lost glory.

"Alan...Peccator."

His voice was different, sounding more robotic. The artifact that allowed him to speak must have done this, without a doubt. Alan's mouth was still in tatters.

"Peccator? That's a word of Latin origin... Sinner?"

The man, clearly well-versed in the languages of Earth and quickly derived the meaning of the word Peccator.

"So you are from Earth...but why do you have such a name? The modern era doesn't even have Latin as a language anymore, it's basically extinct... Perhaps the dragons found it amusing?"

He still thought that Alan was a dragon from birth, and this led him to the conclusion:

"Aha! Probably your parents named you something like that, they took an ordinary name and then combined it with a word from Latin, it should have some meaning if such beings did it... Were they sinners? Criminals? Did they betray the dragons? Or is it something related to you? I did read that they did divination...so perhaps that is the reason for your name."

"Anyway, Beside your name, what affiliation are you of? Tell me about the current affairs of Earth."

The power of the artifact compelled him to speak. Alan was helpless against it. Soon, his voice, propagated by the artifact, rang out.

"I belong to the Twilight guild, and Wellington family. Earth is at war with the demons...who have taken a continent as theirs...the humans..."

He continued to speak, but there were irregular stops during his sentences, clearly the power of the artifact was weakening as Alan continued to resist its effects. The man was quick on the uptake and waved the dandelion in front of Alan again.

That caused his mana to calm down once more, and go unresponsive. Earlier, he was trying to awaken some of his mana, but that attempt was shot down by that dastardly plant!

"Do you know what this is? This plant was cultivated by the ancient Terra giants specifically for fighting the dragon race. Unfortunately, the radiation caused by the fire devil dragon made it go through unstable mutations as well. Now, it's only a fraction of its former prowess... Hehe..."

A cold laugh ensued, and the man looked at Alan like he was looking at something pathetic.

"Even this...pathetic version is enough for you."

He continued, not giving Alan any time to become angry.

"The plant is enough for you...you should be a young, very young dragon. A baby among them. Otherwise, the giants wouldn't have been able to catch you. I heard you were having a standoff against the Night lady."

The man grabbed Alan's chin and raised his head forcefully.

"But you were going to die to the night lady...TSK TSK."

He clicked his tongue, the mockery in his eyes visible. Alan was burning deep inside, but he knew he could not do anything.

That fact alone caused the flames of rage within him to surge.

"Seems you are a disgrace to your race, A dragon only at the level of B+, pathetic. Even the young ones are S-rank."

In actuality, he wasn't even born a dragon. He was born a human and became like this. If the man knew that, he wouldn't have said such words.

The irony within them was large, if other dragons heard it they would cringe, especially the ones of old. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

... They were the ones who knew...no dragon was to be underestimated like that, even if they were not a dragon from birth.

It was precisely a dragon like that that brought their entire empire...to ruin.

Alan repeated his sentence, and his words cause the man to jump back, away from Alan. His entire face was plastered with fear.

"Supremes?! Fuck!"

He cursed, hitting his head with his hands like a madman.

"The previous dragon that caused the destruction of this world was a supreme! And now two?! The things here aren't even a fraction of what they were then! We can't fight back!"

But, he started to laugh soon enough.

"Hahaha!"

His maniacal laughter filled the room, and Alan's body trembled. The man was strong, he had to give him that. The mere act of laughing sent mana fluctuations throughout the air.

"Ha... They shouldn't be able to sense you here... And even if they did, they wouldn't care. Supremes wouldn't mind weak ones like you. They probably turned you into one because they were bored.

If he knew how much Suleras and Lanesha dotted on Alan, he would die from shock. Literally. But he was ignorant.

He pulled out a mirror, and turned it towards Alan, it was a big mirror, and Alan could see his chest with its help.

His eyes widened into horror, and the man laughed.

"See?"

Now he knew how he felt the man's hand on his back. There...there was a large hole in his chest!

"The fact that you are alive is surprising, you know? Probably because you are a dragon! I can't imagine what kind of power I will have when I get your bloodline."

He was wrong in this aspect, the reason Alan survived was because of his Phoenix bloodline. The wound, however...was suspicious. Straining his eyes, Alan managed to catch something within the wound.

"Finally caught sight of it?"

However, he couldn't see it clearly even with the help of the mirror. The man snorted and held a plate in front of him. The plate had a gruesome piece of flesh on it.

"This is your heart."

Alan paused, not believing the man's words. If it really was his heart, then even the bloodline of the Phoenix would not be able to save him! It was simply preposterous.

This is actually your heart, the arrow destroyed it completely, and I was only able to collect this mess. The reason you are alive right now is..."

The man snorted once more, and lowered the mirror. Alan could see what he noticed back then, now, more clearly. It was a small blue crystal, the size of one's palm. The crystal was seemingly floating in the cavity in his chest.

"That thing destroyed the arrow that pierced into you, there was a palm sized hole in the thing! It's unbreakable!"

The man enjoyed the shock on Alan's face, and he continued.

"That's the very reason you are alive, despite your heart having been turned to mesh. It's because of that very dragon heart!"

The man touched the crystal, but the mana it unleashed burned the skin off his hand. He cursed, but he had expected this to occur. He simply enjoyed the pain.

The mana that the crystal released went into him, and he was able to benefit from it somewhat. It was pure mana, the purest there could be, and it was very useful to him. Throughout the duration Alan was unconscious, he had touched it numerous times to benefit from the pure mana.

"Soon...that will be mine. And with the near infinite mana within it, I will be the king of this city, and this planet! And soon the universe!"

The man laughed like a mad genius, and he stared at Alan like he was his key...to a strength unseen!
