Before long, they arrived at Black Horse Snow Forest, where Simulated Nightmare Beast Dragon Sembra was already waiting on the Rocky Road.
The moment Sembra saw Sacred Unicorn Polly, its eyes revealed even more fervent worship. It could sense that this companion, who shared the same ancestor as itself, had grown stronger—unimaginably strong.
"Ang Chi." It approached Polly and behaved with remarkable gentleness.
Even among a herd of horses, there would be a king of horses. At this moment, Sembra clearly treated Polly as such.
Russell sensed Sembra's worship and infatuation with Polly.
He calmly said, "Work hard, Sembra. One day, you'll catch up to Polly and become a pseudo-dragon, or even a Phantom Dragon!"
"Ang Chi!" Sembra responded softly.
At that moment, Polly suddenly said in their minds, "Russell, I've realized that I don't dislike the scent of black horses anymore."
"Haha, that's perfectly normal, Polly. When we advanced to Phantom Dragon Knight, we faced and defeated our inner demons. So whether it's black horses, white horses, or White Horse is Not Horse, none of it matters to you anymore. You've reached heights your ancestors never did."
"Yes, I've broken through the bloodline ceiling of my ancestors. Now, I've become a Phantom Dragon!" Polly said with feeling.
Sealed memories unlocked one after another amid the dreamlike scenes of advancing into a Phantom Dragon.
She no longer held any resentment toward her identity as a horse. Therefore, she no longer disliked the scents of black horses, yellow horses, red horses, or piebald horses.
After a pause, she said in their minds, "I wonder what's happening with Lei Marsh. After my advancement, the power of my Phantom Dragon bloodline has quietly blossomed in Lei Marsh... How strange. It didn't blossom here."
"I'm curious too." Russell nodded.
Then he closed his eyes
