Location- Unknown, Blood Rule Source
The Elder Anesthesia Dragon's spiritual body, encapsulated within the serpent-shaped blood fog vessel, promptly dissected the rule slave and retrieved its core for Wyatt. Handing the blood-rule slave's core to Wyatt, the dragon added a few words of encouragent, "Here, with this core and your racial talent, you should be able to ascend to the devil realm within this decade. I anticipate great things from you."
Before leaving Wyatt to practice, the dragon didn't forget to remind him, "I haven't forgotten about your customary gift on our first eting. This rule slave's core isn't it; I have sothing more special. I just don't recall where I placed it in my storage space. Just give a mont to sort through the items. Your present should be buried amidst the ss."
'Can't he just use his spiritual sense to scan his storage space and find the gift in there?' Wyatt wondered to himself. However, knowing that aside from being aloof and susceptible to flattery, the dragon was also lacking in common sense, Wyatt decided not to remind it. He feared that bringing attention to its forgetfulness would embarrass the dragon and potentially diminish his favorability points with it.
As if the Dragon had read Wyatt's mind, it explained, "The storage space is lined with the highest-grade heathen stones and SSS-rank spiritual sense isolation array formation as a security asure against the Eternal Thief Guild. So I cannot use my spiritual sense to scan the storage space to search for your gift. Let tell you, Nazaka, if you ever encounter those bastards, they will strip you bare with their unique space rule arts. Well, with your current realm, they would simply sell you to the highest bidder. But don't worry, you have to protect you now. I will not allow any harm to befall you." If not for its blood-fog vessel even the Dragon's spiritual body could not access its storage space.
For a brief mont, Wyatt was almost frightened, thinking that the seemingly dim-witted Dragon could sohow read his mind. However, upon hearing its reassurance of his safety, he realized it was simply engaging in casual conversation.
Wyatt had learned about the Eternal Thief Guild when exploring the devil rchant code; they were considered a semi-ruler class force. He hadn't expected even a ruler class entity like the Elder Anesthesia Dragon to be wary of them. However, given their mastery of mystical space-rule arts and the mystery surrounding their base location, they were indeed an annoying pest in the Dark Realm.
"Nazaka, continue your practice; it will take so ti to sort out the ss in here," the blood-fog vessel of the dragon inford Wyatt, its gaze fixed on the storage space, whose coordinates were linked to its true body.
Wyatt also caught a glimpse into the Elder Anesthesia Dragon's storage space, and he was astonished. The space within the Dragon's storage exceeded even the void in his seed world. He observed about a dozen celestial bodies within, each being nourished by three artificial suns. If Wyatt had previously been proud of his seed world, he was no longer after witnessing the Dragon's utilization of celestial bodies in its storage space, akin to shelves in a bank vault. Indeed, the Dragon was not exaggerating when it ntioned that it would take so ti to organize the chaos within its storage space.
"Your Majesty, you have done so much for . It would be heartless of to continue and ignore the hidden danger threatening you," Wyatt suddenly spoke aloud, surprising the dragon with his emotional declaration.
"What do you an?" the Dragon blurted out in total bewildernt. It was pleased with the sentints Wyatt was expressing, but it had absolutely no clue about the hidden danger he was referring to.
"Your Highness, you must trust on this. There is indeed an ominous stain contaminating your majestic body, starting from your scales—" Before Wyatt could continue, the Dragon thundered, "Again with that nonsense!"
Wyatt didn't back down, understanding that the Elder Anesthesia Dragon plans to rely on the World Calamity Tree to extend its sleeping stage so it would never kill him. He continued his act, adding, "Your Majesty, even if it risks angering you, I must speak the truth. You could kill , and I wouldn't mind, as my life was granted by you. However, you must listen to . You may have already noticed that my eyes possess a unique ability. They reveal to that your scales' aura is being tainted by an ominous stain. If left unchecked, who knows what peril it may bring upon you."
"You… you…" The Elder Anesthesia Dragon was speechless, at a loss for words on how to counter Wyatt's assertions. If the World Calamity Tree had rebelled, the Dragon could have employed force to subdue it. However, seeing that the World Calamity Tree was willing to risk its life out of concern for him, who was accustod to getting his way as an apex loner through force, now found himself unsure of how to handle the current situation.
"Your Majesty, you can punish later as you see fit for my impertinence. But if you are willing to grant a scale of yours, I can show you what I am talking about," Wyatt spoke passionately, his voice filled with so much emotion that it struck an emotional chord in the dragon's heart, a chord that hadn't been touched for ages.
Listening to Wyatt's words the Elder Anesthesia Dragon was moved to the point where it montarily set aside its vanity and agreed to Wyatt's selfless request. "Very well, but if you fail to substantiate your claims, you are never to bring up this matter again," It stipulated firmly, willing to part with one of its magnificent scales of its own accord.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I could never betray your trust in ," Wyatt expressed enthusiastically, appearing grateful for the Dragon's agreent to his request.
