Chapter 1531 Ice Luan Mountain [4]

"Human, you aren't a dragon, are you?"

The question surprised Damien.

First off, even he couldn't logically see himself as a human anymore, so it was nice hearing someone else say it.

Second, though Damien did indeed have some dragon in him at some point, it had been a long time since his race had changed into something beyond existing terms.

That draconic bloodline was already gone, turned into nothing more than an ability that Damien hadn't used in ages.

"I'm not. Why are you asking?"

He was genuinely curious. He took steps closer to the beast without realizing, but the beast didn't react, likely due to his blatant absence of hostility.

"That does not make any sense. If you are not a dragon, then what are you?" The beast asked, perplexed beyond belief.

"Let's just say that I'm a human who's a little special. Now then, why are you so adamant about me being a dragon?" Damien pressed again.

"Naturally, it is because you have a qualification."

The beast unfurled itself from around the tree. It was massive within the cave, several hundred feet in length and three digits in its height as well.

However, this beast had shrunken itself for convenience. Its true size couldn't be estimated from this appearance.

Nevertheless, it turned to face Damien directly, looking him up and down.

"I simply cannot fathom how a qualification made its way into a human body. Please excuse my rudeness."

"Hmm..."

Damien furrowed his brows.

"This qualification you're talking about, could it be..."

"It is something that should only be found in the body of a Holy Dragon or his chosen heir."

Enlightenment struck Damien.

'If it's a Holy Dragon, then...there's really only one answer.'

A Holy Dragon wasn't some sort of religious term, nor did it have anything to do with elements or abilities. Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

"Holy Dragon" was a sacred term among dragonkind, a position of absolute honor.

Those granted this title were the true powerhouses of the Dragon Clan. They were the strongest of the strong.

And Damien...he did have the fortune to meet one long ago.

'The Azure Dragon.'

It was an extremely valuable meeting for Damien. The memories he'd gained from that senior were still locked in his head, but many flecks of knowledge about the Heavenly World had drifted away from the pack and entered his mind every now and then.

'If that beast actually knows some information, it's worth going through a bit of a hassle to gain access to it.'

He raised his head. The peak that he was at before couldn't be seen anymore. It was simply too high.

'Well, let's make the best of a tedious situation.'

Damien cracked a smile.

'I hope these so-called "trials" are entertaining.'

Damien took his first steps up the mountain the way he was intended to climb it.

Little did he know, he was not the only person walking this trail right now.

He was not the only one who had heard that legend and went searching for the Harmony Fruit at Ice Luan Mountain.

However, it was rare for the travelers who take on this trial to meet each other, since the actual timing between climbs often didn't line up.

This was a unique case, where two climbers had arrived at roughly similar times.

And they were two climbers who knew each other, at that.

About halfway up the mountain was a woman with swamp-green hair, a woman Damien had encountered in the past, though not on the best of terms.

Envy of the Four Evils.

The Four Evils had not had a good time after their encounter with Damien.

The Straea Clan's policy on failure was well known by now. They were essentially stripped of their titles and thrown away, replaced by people who followed Malefice Straea.

And in that process, Wrath had been crippled.

The Four Evils may have been competitors at one point, but after they were left on their own, they were all each other had.

The bond they'd formed was quite strong. Strong enough for Envy to risk her life at Ice Luan Mountain in order to get the Harmony Fruit to cure Wrath.

Unfortunately, there was only one fruit.

And only one of the two of them could take it.

There was a huge distance between them, so, at a glance, one wouldn't believe it was possible for them to meet.

But fate didn't act so kindly to those it didn't like.

And fate seemed to give those it favored everything they desired.

Their meeting was destined. The only question was...

Would it truly go down the way it was expected to?
