Chapter 656: Chapter 654: Vengeful Dragon (Extra, Vote for Monthly Ticket) Chapter 656: Chapter 654: Vengeful Dragon (Extra, Vote for Monthly Ticket) “Frost Star is drawing ever closer—I can feel it. The presence of the Frost Snow Giants lurking is just waiting for the alignment of the Heavenly Track.”
Inside the national observatory.
Russell shifted his gaze away from the telescope. Frost Star was becoming clearer, its actual form no different from the Shattered Frost Star he had seen in his dream. The entire planet looked like a shattered glass marble, covered in cracks everywhere.
As the leaves of the cosmic tree peeled away, the doomsday of Frost Star also loomed.
“It’s a pity we cannot fly out of Dragon Star’s atmosphere; otherwise, I’d really like to fly to Frost Star to see for myself what the situation really is,” King Toka Kongsang said, stroking his beard. He was the king of the Clear Sky Dusk Kingdom.
After the Amber Council, travel between realms of the Volcanic Domain became unrestricted, so kings and grand dukes began to visit each other frequently.
“There’s no need to hurry. The Heavenly Track will soon align, and then Frost Star will be right before our eyes,” Russell said with a smile, “Now we just need to wait for the magic power scholars to figure out how to cross the interdimensional gateways, and then we can land directly on Frost Star.”
Frost Star invades Dragon Star.
If the giants could traverse interdimensional gateways to enter Dragon Star, then once this method was deciphered, Russell and the others could likewise traverse these gates to land on Frost Star.
“The task for each country now is to lay the groundwork for industrialization, enhance national power, and strengthen the might of the dragons,” Russell continued, “Not to mention ascending to an Ancient Dragon; at the very least, we must enhance thirty to fifty percent of elemental power.”
“Ah, Your Majesty Russell, you make it sound simple, but it’s actually quite difficult to do,” King Toka sighed, “Just the Path of Man and Dragon is challenging enough… Industrial setup does not yield results as quickly as the Path of Man and Dragon!”
“Advance equally on multiple fronts, attacking problems from two angles.”
“By the way, Your Majesty Russell, how is the power of your Shadowflame Dragon progressing? Has it touched upon the hope of returning to the ancient times?”
“It’s still rather vague, but I’ve already touched the edge of the rules. As for how to comprehend and embody the rules afterward, it’s still unclear,” Russell shook his head. Even with his and the Little Dream Dragon’s help, the Shadowflame Dragon was still lacking the right opportunity.
“Even the advancement of the Shadowflame Dragon is so challenging, let alone for the rest of us,” King Toka said with a wry smile.
Russell curiously asked, “King Toka, have you investigated in the Ice Ridge Duchy and found any clues about the Vengeful Dragon?”
“No,” King Toka shook his head, “It’s very likely a case of a false rumor passed on. Darimu’s brother is probably truly dead, not saved by the Vengeful Dragon… The Lost Dragon is ultimately just an epic legend.”
Russell shook his head: “There’s no smoke without fire. I plan to make some time to visit the Ice Ridge Duchy personally.”
The Ice Ridge Duchy was breached by the Frost Snow Giants even before joining the Thunder Voice Conference. The Ice Ridge Dragon fell on the Snowfield, as did the previous Duke and his first heir, Viscount Darimu, who died in battle on the Snowfield.
Afterward, Darimu’s brother Dario succeeded the title, leading his people to migrate to neighboring countries.
However, rumors emerged from the Ice Ridge Duchy that a knight had seen a dragon resembling a curtain of shadows emerge from the void, rescue Darimu Ice Ridge, and then vanish into the horizon.
Thus,
Some people became convinced that Young Lord Darimu had awakened the slumbering Vengeful Dragon, the very same Lost Dragon chronicled in the “Song of the Volcano.”
The Lost Dragon was just an ordinary dragon, but after bonding with Sigruft, it evolved into a Revenge Ancient Dragon.
“If the rumors are true, the Revenge Ancient Dragon would be the very first Ancient Dragon of Dragon Sleep Continent, but I don’t believe it,” King Toka said, “If Darimu were riding the Revenge Ancient Dragon, then where would Sigruft be sitting?”
Legend has it that the Vengeful Ancient Dragon and Sigruft merged souls, inseparable, immortal.
“I’ll go take a look myself,” Russell had made up his mind, “King Toka, feel free to tour the Dreamshadow Flame Kingdom on your own; I won’t accompany you.”
“Please, Your Majesty Russell.”
After sending off King Toka, Russell went to Shadowflame Volcano.
Seated with his sword across his knees, he pondered over swordsmanship in front of the Shadowflame Dragon before saying, “Shadowflame, come to the Ice Ridge Duchy with me.”
“To
Grand Duke Dario recollected further, “I asked that knight carefully, he was my father’s guard, and a close friend of my elder brother, hence he saw very clearly that it was indeed the shadow of my elder brother, though he did not see the face.”
Furthermore.
Later several knights also saw such scenes while honoring the dead on the Snow Plains. Each one was willing to swear on the dragon that there was not a shred of falsehood in their words.
“But as you know, Your Majesty Russell, since the Ice Ridge Dragon has fallen, swearing on the dragon has lost its significance,” said Grand Duke Dario with a wry smile. “So whether these knights are telling the truth, I cannot judge.”
“Can you bring them here?” Russell asked.
“As you wish,” replied Grand Duke Dario and instantly ordered his attendants to bring those few knights.
Meanwhile, Russell had the three marks on his forehead manifest one by one onto the ground, revealing the forms of the Pseudo-Dragon and Phantom Dragon, and then he entered the Ice Ridge Volcano to comprehend the extinguished volcanic power.
Shortly after.
The knights were brought over, all Phantom Beast Knights.
“Your Majesty Russell, the men have been brought,” Grand Duke Dario finished speaking and turned to address the knights, “In the presence of His Majesty Russell, there must not be a single false word, for the true dragon is watching you!”
“Great His Majesty Russell, we bear no lies!” the knights knelt on one knee, performing the most reverent of ceremonies.
When questioned by Russell, they recounted the events in detail without reservation.
Russell’s senses were at their sharpest; he could feel that these knights were not lying — they truly believed they had seen Young Lord Darimu and the Vengeful Dragon.
“Either it is true, or it is a hallucination… In any case, I will still need to make my own visit,” Russell contemplated internally.
