Chapter 368
"Fael, I have to thank you for this. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get this done so smoothly—oh, wait a minute, it seems we have a new guest."
Upon hearing this, the three people outside immediately realized that they had been exposed.
They wanted to leave, but it was too late.
Several Dragon race guard hiding in the shadows captured them and then took them to a room.
The three children struggled, but they were already exhausted and no match for these adult dragons.
"Three more have arrived. It seems we're not the only ones searching for the Primal Power, Senior Constantine," Fael said quietly.
Constantine?
Noa suddenly stopped struggling and looked up at the two dragons in front of her.
One of them was the Crimson Flame Dragon King, Dragon race hero who was written into textbooks years ago, and then defeated twice by his Daddy...
Noa stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Constantine... you've done it again—"
The Dragon King, representing fire, slowly stepped forward, his voice deep and majestic.
"Yes, children, I'm back."
Chapter 381erling3erlingqi480: 79 There is only one way to revive the giants, and that is—
"Crimson Flame Dragon King Constantine... wasn't he defeated in the Silver Dragon War a few years ago...?"
Even Yuna of the Lightning Dragon race had heard of that battle. "How come she's here now?"
Constantine had now transformed into human form, appearing as a human man in his thirties.
Although only his head remained the original body after the fusion, the transformation still falls under the category of magic. Becoming in human form not only made movement easier but also reduced the strain caused by the enormous body.
"That's a long story, little one."
As Constantine spoke, he slowly shifted his gaze to Noa.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing her face. After a moment, Constantine spoke softly.
"Oh, I recognize you. You are the eldest daughter of Casmod and the Silver Dragon King. Maureen gave me a picture of you a few years ago when you were very young."
Maureen was Constantine's spy planted within the Silver Dragon Clan, but was later exposed by Leon's sting operation.
Constantine spoke in a very calm tone, as if he were a distant uncle chatting with Noa.
But Noa didn't want to say anything more to this guy. With an attack on the Silver Dragon territory and an attack on the Red Dragon Sanctuary, this mad dragon was definitely not a peaceful creature.
"Casmod? Your Majesty, since she is Casmod's daughter, why don't we get rid of her now and avenge Your Majesty?" a Crimson Flame Dragon guard said through gritted teeth.
The feud between Leon and Constantine has been going on for years, and Leon is also partly to blame for Constantine's long-term torment by the Empire.
Now that his daughter is in his hands, as the guard said, getting rid of Noa would be like killing her and destroying her spirit. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Only--
"My feud with Leon won't affect the next generation. Besides, do you think I, as a dragon king, would lay a hand on a child under ten years old?"
Pattern.
Despite being elbowed into the repechage twice by General Leon, the great Old Kang still chose to stick to the facts.
And indeed, just as he himself said, it was truly disgraceful of his title as Dragon King to harm a child in order to seek revenge.
Compared to the so-called "killing someone by destroying their spirit," Constantine, who possesses the purest Dragon bloodline, still prefers to defeat the man named Leon Casmod head-on.
Constantine withdrew his gaze and slowly turned around. "Keep an eye on those six. Don't let them run around."
Six?
Noa looked up abruptly and only then noticed that there were three other people in the spacious room.
They were Helena, Diane, and Raymond.
They were also closely guarded by several guards and kept aside.
Helena!
"Noa..."
"What are you shouting for? Quiet!" the guard shouted sternly, and then escorted Noa and the others to Helena's side.
"I saw your hair that you left on the road," Noa said in a low voice.
Helena first gave a tired but relieved smile, but the smile was quickly replaced by disappointment. "But we're all captured now, and no one will come to save us."
Is nobody here...?
That's not entirely true.
Her daughter, Old Man Slave, and Mom Silver Dragon King are probably near this ruin right now.
Noa was actually quite curious about why Mom Daddy had come here, but after meeting Constantine, she gradually guessed the reason.
Although it's impossible to be sure what exactly is going on between the parents and Constantine, their arrival in the Far North is definitely related to Constantine or the Primal Power.
Noa made this conjecture because, based on her understanding of her parents, she knew that the couple would never be so foolish as to go on a date in a place like that.
And if they really want to enjoy some time alone together, the most common excuses they use are, "Oh, I went on border patrol with your Daddy" or "Adults have their own homework to do."
Even though she knew her parents were nearby, Noa still couldn't just sit idly by and wait for her fate.
After all, you can't entrust your own and your friends' safety to someone who might appear at any time.
Noa looked up and saw the purpose of Constantine's trip.
In the very center of this ruin stands a huge dragon-shaped statue.
The statue is the same size as Dragon King level body, with its wings half-spread and its posture elegant.
Although it is just a statue, everyone inside the ruins can still feel the majesty and oppression it exudes.
Noa frowned slightly. "Whose statue is that...?"
"The Primal Dragon King, Noah".
Helena said, "Just now, Constantine and the others were deciphering the ancient writing on the walls. Simply put, this is the site of Noah, the first Dragon King in history the Dragon Race, or you could call it... his tomb."
After a pause, the little Sea Dragon girl, trying to find humor in her situation, looked at her best friend and said, "What a coincidence, you share the same name as this Primal Dragon King."
Noa pondered for a moment before replying, "It can't be called a coincidence, after all, my Mom referred to this Dragon Race ancestor when she named me."
As she spoke, Noa looked around and then asked, "We fell down from the stone slabs under the snow, so how did Constantine and the others get down?"
Helena raised her head, gesturing for Noa to look upwards.
Noa looked up blankly, then opened her mouth slightly in astonishment.
Above the ruins was a huge gap that stretched upwards to the ground, estimated to be at least a hundred meters high.
Melted snow and scorching hot pebbles tumbled down the inner wall of the breach, falling sparsely to the ground.
A cold wind rushed in from the gap, and Noa swallowed, still somewhat incredulous.
"Constantine... burned through the ice in the Far North?"
Helena nodded. "Yes, he did it. I always thought it was just an exaggerated rumor that adults made to describe the harsh environment of the Far North."
It seems that "Little Dragon Enlightenment Stories" is not entirely made up; Old Kang really does have some talent.
"Then what is his purpose in coming here?" Noa asked.
"I didn't quite understand, but it seemed to be about obtaining some kind of power... and that power was sealed in the statue of the Primal Dragon King."
"Quiet, brats. His Your Majesty only said he wouldn't take your lives, not that he wouldn't let you get hurt," the Crimson Flame Dragon guard threatened again.
The two little ones stopped talking.
Noa continued to quietly observe the statue and Constantine in the center of the ruins.
Constantine slowly walked to the statue of the Primal Dragon King, opened his arms, closed his eyes, as if quietly sensing that invisible but powerful ancient force.
"I can sense... fluctuations of Primal Power."
Constantine's body was stitched together by Primal Power, which was fundamentally different from the Primal Power that Losweiser herself condensed, so he could clearly feel the presence of this force.
Moreover, this happened at such a close distance.
"Begin, senior, this supreme power will soon be yours."
As Ironwing Dragon King Fael spoke, he slowly retreated, leaving enough space for Constantine.
Constantine then began this "ritual".
He slowly gathered his power, concentrating the Primal Power in his chest. Then, a white beam of light slowly guided from Constantine's chest toward the Noah statue in front of him.
The beam of light connected Constantine to the statue, and with a crisp cracking sound, several pieces of the statue broke off.
Then, the purest, oldest, and most powerful Primal Power contained within it gradually flowed into Constantine's body along the pillar of light.
The moment he sensed this power, Constantine suddenly opened his eyes. His Crimson Dragon Pupils turned pure white without him even realizing it, and scales began to appear around the corners of his eyes.
"This is... Noah's power... the oldest power of the Dragon Race! It's mine!"
Light filled the ruins, and the huge energy fluctuations caused the ground to tremble continuously.
Noa stared at the scene before her, forcing herself to think calmly, just like her Dad, who could always come up with a solution no matter what emergency situation he encountered.
Since Constantine came to the Noah Ruins to obtain the Primal Power, then thinking about it the other way around, if his Mom Dad weren't here for a date out of boredom, then they must have come to stop Constantine.
And even assuming we take a step back, Dad already has a grudge against Constantine, and this mad dragon is now so eager to become stronger, what will happen after he becomes stronger?
Revenge.
To take revenge on Leon.
But her Mom Dad still nowhere to be found, and the only one here who can stop Constantine —or rather, buy her some time... is her.
However, Noa was also very clear about the gap between her and Constantine.
She's quite adept at ambushing the Dragon King, but in a head-on confrontation... even the most powerful Dragon King can't overcome the gap in strength and age.
Noa bit her lower lip, observing her surroundings to see if there was anything she could use.
A moment later, she noticed a stone giant standing to the side of the Noah statue, the same kind she had encountered when she fell.
However, this stone giant did not seem to be activated; there was no white crystal on its forehead.
"Crystal..."
Noa's thoughts stirred slightly.
She remembered that after defeating the first stone giant, she had put the crystal from the giant's forehead into her pocket.
Originally, she planned to use this crystal to exchange for her exam results after returning to school—yes, while our genius exam queen was actively looking for her best friend, she was also thinking about her score. If she didn't get first place, who would?
"Place the crystal on the giant's forehead... and it should activate."
Noa glanced at the Crimson Flame Dragon guard behind her; he too was stunned by the sight of Constantine absorbing the Primal Power.
Great opportunity!
Noa suddenly unleashed Lightning magic.
The sudden, excruciating pain made the guard behind her abruptly release his grip.
Noa seized the opportunity to rush toward the stone giant.
"Damn it! Stop that brat! We can't let her cause trouble!"
The guards rushed forward to try and stop Noa.
Noa managed to dodge several people thanks to her agile movements and her "disadvantage" in height.
But the number of guards increased, and they were about to catch up.
Just then, Helena took advantage of the chaos to break free from the guards behind her, and then unleashed a Dragon Flame attack that exploded behind Noa.
The fireball formed by the dragon's flames temporarily restrained the guards pursuing Noa.
"I don't know what you're going to do, but do your best!" Helena shouted.
The next moment, she was pinned to the ground by two guards.
But she kept shouting at Noa, "Go! Noa, you can do it! You definitely can!"
Seeing this, Yuna also joined in the interference.
