Chapter 476 Wielder Of The Demonic Flame (14)



"You're no longer in the world you know," A voice echoed from behind me but just as soon as I snapped my head around, the scenery around me changed. I was suddenly in a small cavern embedded high into one of the various tall rock formations erected across this orange biome.

"Who are you?" I asked a man with long black hair, flawless light brown skin, piercing obsidian eyes, and a single beauty mark beneath his left eye. He was beautiful, to say the least, and a man no woman could help but drool at. "You're hot as shit... god damn."

"Ahem," he cleared his throat, an obvious sign or me to shut up. "Anyways, allow me to introduce myself. I am the Lord of The Sky, otherwise known as the Ancient Dragon. The first dragon. The primordial-"

"Okay, whatever. Dragon... hmmm... where am I?" I quickly asked, cutting the man off who was just about to finish his epic speech. His entire face deadpanned at my rudeness, almost taken aback at how carefree I was since I wasn't even paying much attention to him now. I was instead looking around, seeing the piles of treasure and the gaping open hole revealing myself to a bed of clouds that looked like I could just walk across.

"*sigh*... Maybe I chose wrong... whatever... You're currently in a world that no longer exists in your time. To be more accurate, you're in the First Eon, unlike you who comes from the seventh."

"That's cool."

"D-Do you have anything else to ask?"

"No, not really... actually, I'm kind of hungry... do you think you can get me something to eat?"

"I mean, sure... what do you want?"

"Meat."

"Okay, I'll be right back..." The beautiful man smiled before two massive leathery wings extended from his back. And as he jumped out of the cave and plummeted through the clouds, I turned towards the piles of treasure.

Rummaging through the endless amount of gold and expensive jewelry, I found a mirror and a sword decorated with diamonds. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw just how many scars littered my face and my neck. It was almost as if each cut was avoiding the rest of my head and meant to disgrace the rest of my body, occasionally tearing up my face.

"*sigh*... oomph..."

I puked up everything in my stomach as my mind squirmed back to that disgusting mouth. I tried to hold it in the next time I felt nauseous but it soon came up again, bringing me to my knees and forcing me to hurl whatever was left in me.

"Sick bastard..." I grit my teeth and as I wiped the corner of my mouth, I reached into the empty space, pressing on a single system panel. "Claim rewards..." n0veLuSb.c0m

[You have claimed your rewards]

A pile of leathery books crashed down into the pile of gold next to me, sliding down and nearly touching my feet as I slowly stood up. I gathered all of my rewards and sat at the edge of the cave, dangling my feet into the soft damp clouds.

"Clearly, the lord of oceans wants me to use this to fuse all of these skills. I guess he knows the pain of a cluttered status," I muttered, twirling a shiny silver orb in the center of my palm, rolling it back and forth until I made up my mind. "I'll combine all the weapons arts... but first, let's take some of these..."

I grabbed the small pile of pure white beans glistening with spotted black patterns. It crawled all over the beans like a living being, avoiding my touch as I grabbed their world and brought them into my mouth. They tasted somewhat like jelly beans so it wasn't as tough as I thought it would be to get them down.

[Exactly 28 scars have been erased - 6 scars are left]

Grabbing the mirror not too far from where I sat, I inspected my face first. Sadly, two of the six scars were still slanted across my face with the first one slashing down the left side of my face while the second one crossed the upper right of my lip.

"Tch..." I clicked my tongue to avoid thinking of that time. It was torturous and probably the worst thing I had ever felt. A cold nothingness. I'd rather be set on fire for eternity than stay in that abyss for just a few hours.

"Oh, what are all these goodies you have?" A sweet voice rang out from beneath the clouds. And soon, the man had flown back up, landing next to me with an entire drake's head in his hand. A real Drake. You know, the pre-evolution before a dragon. "What? Not enough? I can get the rest of the body but it would be a bit hard to fit it in here-"

"No, you're fine," I chuckled, while the man dragged the head in and began to cook it under a fire in a small dirt pit. I had to admit, it smelled amazing even strangely smell amazing before he even began to cook it, and as it roasted on top of the fire, a salty-sweet aroma wafted through the air. My mouth was already drooling just sitting next to this, so I hurried up with these skill books.

[You have activated the Skill Fusion Orb]

A golden glow enveloped my hand and instinctively I knew what to do with it. Reaching out, I touched every single leather book that had a merman weapon art on it, and as they all came together, fusing into a single leather book but this time encrusted with a silver lining, the dragon glanced over, curious as to what I was doing.

"What's this?" The dragon asked, yet it was obvious he knew what the spiked red orb was. It was the strangest item I had received from the gauntlet and it was the reward for me slaying that disgusting creep.
