Elotisia was stunned. She couldn't understand Borchi's choice. As a fellow Dragon, she felt it was a terrible loss for him.
Borchi immediately returned to human form and called out excitedly, "Master."
"Mm."
Rayne nodded in satisfaction.
However, Borchi's address reminded him of Elotisia, and he suddenly felt a little awkward. He said, "Just call me Boss like before."
"Okay, Boss." Borchi immediately corrected himself.
Although he had signed a Soul Contract and served Rayne as his master, he still couldn't let go of that last shred of dignity when addressing Rayne that way in front of outsiders.
"Boss, about that matter..." Borchi glanced at Elotisia, fidgeting awkwardly as he struggled to speak.
Rayne naturally understood that Borchi was referring to the opportunity to advance to Ancient Dragon. With a smile, he said, "Don't worry. I have everything arranged. But you'll have to wait a little longer. Once everyone is here, I'll help all of you advance at once and get everything done."
Borchi nodded repeatedly, indicating that he wasn't in a hurry.
He noticed that Rayne had said "all of you," clearly including Lady Elotisia. She really was a Dragon, and she was going to advance to Ancient Dragon too!
Elotisia also knew nothing about the situation and asked, "Rayne, who else is coming?"
Rayne shook his head. "You'll know when they arrive."
Before Elotisia could ask again, he opened a Portal. "All of you, come with me." He then entered first.
The two Dragons passed through the Portal together and discovered that they were in the center of Dragon Valley, the widest part of the canyon. A lush forest grew there, with towering trees over a hundred meters tall everywhere they looked. The Life Force was so dense that it was almost visible to the naked eye.
