Location- Unknown, Blood Rule Source

After taking the oath the Elder Anesthesia Dragon looked at Wyatt as if seeking praise for doing sothing that was ant to save its ass. However, Wyatt played along. He looked at the Dragon with an impressed gaze and said with a wide smile he nodded at it. Then pointing at the orb he said, "Now get in, so that we can live this damned place."

Satisfied with Wyatt's reaction the Dragon entered the monster orb fortifying its space with its energy, locking its realm and senses within its body as per its oath. Now that the Dragon's true body was in the monster orb and its spiritual body was locked in its true body.

Witnessing this, Wyatt had a satisfied grin on his face returning the monster orb to his grimoire. Today he had successfully captured a ruler-class Anesthesia Dragon by binding it with an oath that he had it take out of its own violation, declaring,

i) Enter the "monster orb" voluntarily with its true body.

ii) Use its energy to strengthen and fortify the orb.

iii) Lock its realm (personal domain and power) and senses within its true body.

iv) Commit to remaining inside the monster orb until summoned by Dalton Wyatt.

Locking one's senses into their body was the sa as asking them to limit their sense to their body, which ant that the Dragon's spiritual body could not leave its body as then its sense would no longer be limited to its body.

Having gauged the Elder Anesthesia Dragon as a selfish coward, Wyatt knew regardless of what it claid in its mont of despair, if he were to directly ask the Dragon to lock its true body in the monster orb and its spiritual body in its true body until he calls upon it, the Dragon would have imdiately gotten spooked.

Then, even with Wyatt entering the abyss, by taking the oath in the presence of the blood-rule source, he still could get the Dragon to take the oath and follow him into the abyss.

Therefore, Wyatt cleverly asked the Elder Anesthesia Dragon to limit its sense to its true body turning its spiritual body into a prisoner of its true body. For mortals or other races, this would not be a big deal but for the Anesthesia Dragon race whose main offense was their spiritual body with their true body sleeping for a millennium, it could be absolute tornt.

One has to understand, that while the regular races and mortals road the physical plane, the Anesthesia Dragon was a race that road the spiritual plane, mostly the Dream realm part of it. While the Anesthesia Dragon's true body remained asleep for thousands of years their spiritual body would be actively roaming the Dream realm, exploring it, and socializing with their kind and other creatures that walked the Dream realm.

Now with the Raukaul promising to limit his sense to its true body, it has shackled its spiritual body to the bounds of its true body. aning it could not even roam the Dream realm.

The whole reason the Elder Anesthesia Dragon agreed to keep its true body in the monster orb until Wyatt calls upon it was because with its being asleep all the ti it would stay in one place, be it in its nest or the monster orb. So it did not matter to the Dragon. However, the stupid Dragon never fully comprehended the full consequences of limiting its senses to its true body. Walking right into Wyatt's trap.

With the Dragon's spiritual body limited to the bounds of its true body, it would not be long before it realizes that Wyatt had tricked it. Even if it knew, there was nothing it could do about it with its spiritual body having beco a prisoner in its own body. It could not use its Dream realm abilities to pay a visit to Wyatt in his dreams. Since, Wyatt had tricked it into willingly discarding its strongest ans, its spiritual body's ability to enter the dream realm.

It was not like the Dragon did not have other ans left, considering the gap between the Dragon and Wyatt's realm, a simple pressure from its actual realm oozing out the monster orb could kill him but Wyatt had it take an oath to lock its realm into its true body. As such the Dragon's strength cannot be exerted out of its body, including its sleep breath which was a part of its wide range of abilities.

With its spiritual powers and physical powers limited to the bounds of its true body that was locked in the monster orb's space, the Dragon had zero ans to threaten or coerce Wyatt into releasing it of its oath.

Though the Dragon would not use its strength to get out of Wyatt's trap, it could use its brain. Anyone with a little brain would know that if the space of the monster orb were to be destroyed the Dragon's oath to Wyatt in the presence of the blood rule source would be invalid.

However, Wyatt having already thought of it, had the Dragon vow that it would use its energy to fortify the space. Basically, it could only use its energy to fortify the monster orb's space and nothing more.

With the Dragon's might just moving in sleep could destroy the A-rank monster orb space. However, this was not allowed, as its energy could be used to strengthen and fortify the space and not destroy it.

Wyatt did not specify that it cannot use its energy to destroy the space but it would be contrary to what it claid in its oath to him, that it would use its energy to strengthen and fortify the monster orb while locking its realm (personal domain and power) and senses within its true body.

If a soldier who was tasked to guard a castle were to destroy it, it would be against their duty and punishable. Similarly, the Dragon tasked with fortifying the space of the monster orb could not destroy it, otherwise it would be a breach of its oath to Wyatt in the presence of the blood-rule source.

Lastly, the dragon could not leave the monster orb until Wyatt called on it. aning it was up to Wyatt how long the dragon would be held captive. Wyatt planned to use this to negotiate with Dragon into becoming his thug if there was ever a need. But Wyatt would not use it useless it was absolutely necessary because, once the Raukaul's presence appears in the Myriad Realms soon the Deviant Devil would track it down. It was too much risk. Therefore, it can only serve as a last resort.

Regardless, the feat achieved by Wyatt was not so small accomplishnt. Through his cunning wordplay, he ingeniously ensnared the dragon, making it his captive. This emphasized the crucial significance of thoroughly reading any contract before affixing one's signature to it. Wyatt's strategic manipulation of language not only showcased his intellect but also highlighted the potential consequences of overlooking the fine print. In this instance, the dragon found itself bound by terms it hadn't fully comprehended, serving as a cautionary tale for all who encountered contractual agreents.
