Chapter Summaries

Adam fought the werewolf elder, who believed him to be an invader, and defeated him with a powerful Elemental Missile. The elder died before revealing the covenant’s full contents, but Adam had already learned enough to continue searching for them.

• The werewolf elder charged Adam, and their attacks proved evenly matched as the elder’s borrowed body began to fail.
• The elder recognized Adam’s Elemental Dragons as evidence that he was an invader and attacked him with a desperate Wolf Tornado.
• Adam detonated ten Elemental Dragons, then dodged the elder’s charge and launched an Elemental Missile.
• The explosion badly injured Adam and devastated the Ice Plain, but it blasted the werewolf elder to ashes.

Adam uncovered the Dragon Plane’s ancient invasion history in the werewolves’ ancestral shrine, then learned from the little wolf that the Dragon Clan had violated the Ancient Pact by barring elder-level defenders from its territory. He left the Free City preparing to draw out the hidden Dragon Slaying Organization while the little wolf revealed why the werewolves hated dragons.

• Adam gathered surviving werewolves, sealed them in ice, and searched their underground city for information.
• Adam entered the ancestral shrine and studied murals that depicted an earlier invasion, the closing of a Dimensional Rift, and the ancient races’ pact to guard the world.
• Adam returned to the Free City, tested Kambi’s strengthened combat abilities, and learned that Lina could not find the Dragon Slaying Organization’s true members.
• Adam sent Kambi and Lina to spread word of the Free City, hoping to attract a messenger from the organization.
• Adam pressured the little wolf by threatening the other werewolves, and the little wolf explained that the Ancient Pact required the old races to defend the World Borders against invaders.
• The little wolf accused the Dragon Clan of breaking the pact by forbidding elder-level strong persons from entering its territory.

Adam interrogated a young werewolf and learned that ancient wars had devastated the Dragon Plane, possibly through the theft of its origin. Two months later, Free City had grown prosperous, and Adam’s dragon-hunting mission drew the attention of the Dragon Slaying Organization, whose envoy was Lina.

• Adam questioned the little wolf about dragons, the ancient wars, and the names and scarcity of powerful beings, then confirmed with the Devil that the wolf was probably telling the truth.
• Adam concluded that an invading plane may have plundered the Dragon Plane’s origin and recognized the discovery’s importance to the Mage World.
• Over two months, Free City expanded its trade and captured Snow Monster and Frost Giant clans after they attacked the city.
• Adam’s mission to capture young dragons, with a special reward for Frost Dragon hatchlings and a bloodline advancement ceremony, caused a stir across the Racial Alliance.
• The Dragon Slaying Organization sent Lina to Free City to establish a branch and discuss an alliance, and Lina contacted Adam about her appointment.

Adam questioned Lina about her mission to infiltrate the Dragon Slaying Organization and learned that she had become one of its messengers and received a bloodline Refining Technique. In Adam’s laboratory, the captive Frost Dragon woke and introduced herself as Sophia, believing Adam had come to rescue her.

• Lina told Adam that her group had killed a powerful Spirit Clan messenger at the cost of twenty-one slaves, after which the Dragon Slaying Organization appointed her as a messenger and sent her to Free City with a Frost Dragon hatchling.
• Lina said the messenger had imprinted the Refining Technique into her body and warned that revealing it would kill her, so Adam had the Devil examine the restriction.
• The Devil found that the restriction was connected to an origin but was not a contract, and assured Adam it could not affect him if forcibly read.
• Adam sent Lina to tend to her injury and went to the laboratory, where he observed the sleeping Frost Dragon and waited for her to wake.
• The Frost Dragon woke, fell back onto the floor, and tearfully asked Adam to save Sophia from the bad people who had captured her.

Adam questioned Sophia Frost, a young dragon given to him by the Dragon Slaying Organization, and learned she feared being killed but misunderstood his intentions. He then punished the Devil for mocking him and began modifying Lina while observing her Refining Technique, which drew energy even after he isolated the surrounding elements.

• Sophia Frost told Adam that her mother had driven her away and that the Dragon Slaying Organization had captured her, and she feared Adam would kill her.
• Sophia misunderstood Adam's reasons for keeping her and offered to stay with him until she was old enough to mate.
• The Devil laughed at Adam's conversation with Sophia, so Adam struck it with thirty Soul Lashes and warned it to stay away from him.
• Adam reassured Lina that the Devil's punishment had nothing to do with her, then prepared to complete her modification while studying the Refining Technique.
• Lina began operating the Refining Technique, drawing elemental aura from her surroundings as Adam isolated the free elements around himself.

Adam discovered that the Refining Technique consumed the Dragon Plane’s origin rather than purifying bloodlines, and suspected it was a covert method of preparing the plane for invasion and merger. Sophia revealed that dragons inherited this technique and that it left them exhausted, giving Adam a possible explanation for their behavior and a new plan to exploit the coming conflict.

• Adam concluded that the Refining Technique eroded the Dragon Plane’s origin and that the shrinking World Border and Crystal Wall fluctuations resulted from this damage.
• Adam questioned Lina and learned that the technique left her exhausted and weak despite making her more powerful in brief bursts.
• Adam theorized that the other plane was weakening the Dragon Plane to prepare for another invasion, and considered spreading the Refining Technique and infiltrating the other plane.
• Sophia told Adam that dragons inherited the technique, that it made them tired and hungry, and that her mother had cultivated it too.
• Sophia nervously told Adam she hoped to grow up and mate with him, and Adam knocked her unconscious.

Adam rewarded Lina with new talents, then persuaded Sophia to teach him Dragon Language and its magic. After analyzing Sophia’s Frost Nova, he discovered that dragon magic combined elemental shaping with activated dragon bloodline power.

• Adam gave Lina two new talents after she provided useful information, then questioned her about her envoy mission and granted her one opportunity.
• Adam prepared food for Sophia, who feared he would drive her away, and asked her to share her inherited knowledge.
• Sophia explained that she knew little inherited knowledge but agreed to teach Adam Dragon Language.
• Sophia demonstrated Frost Nova, and Adam copied it with enough power to shatter the laboratory walls and shake Free City.
• Adam analyzed Frost Nova and determined that its syllables gathered and shaped energy while dragon bloodline power amplified the spell.

Adam learned Dragon Language Magic from Sophia and discovered how dragons shaped magic through imagination and control. He also sought test subjects for the flawed Refining Technique while spreading the Bloodline Advancement Technique through Free City, and the Devil revealed it had secretly sent practitioners beyond the city.

• Adam learned Sophia’s Dragon Language Magic and discovered that dragons could shape spells through imagination and control over the elements.
• Sophia told Adam that her mother had said Khatos’s inhabitants had ruined their world and failed to invade the Dragon Plane.
• Adam left Sophia in the laboratory and sought test subjects to study the dangerous reactions caused by the Refining Technique.
• The Bloodline Advancement Technique spread among Free City adventurers, who traded for it and agreed to keep its practice within the city.
• Adam questioned the Devil about the technique’s spread, and the Devil admitted it had sent practitioners outside Free City.

Adam gathered data on the Bloodline Advancement Technique, recruited more subjects, and tested whether he could alter Sophia’s soul without triggering her inheritance. After experiments indicated the Dragon Plane’s origin was too dormant to respond, he began cultivating the Dragonkind Refining Technique to become an adult Frost Dragon, unleashing a violent surge of Ice Elements across Free City.

• Lina reported that the Test Subjects had shown only weakness and fatigue, while fewer than fifty Forest Elves had survived blood exchange.
• Adam ordered the Devil to recruit slave-catching squads by offering to personally guide successful captors in the Advancement Technique.
• The Devil warned that altering Sophia’s soul could trigger her inherited defenses, but Adam insisted on trying and rejected the suggestion of an equal or symbiotic contract.
• Adam’s experiments and collected data confirmed that the Dragon Plane’s origin could no longer monitor or resist the widespread erosion.
• Adam dismantled his Electric Element circuits and began cultivating the Dragonkind Refining Technique, causing his body to grow as Ice Elements surged through Free City and damaged the laboratory.

Adam set the Dragon Plane ablaze with war to weaken its source and hasten its collision with Khatos, while Free City remained a refuge he used to fuel the conflict. Lina returned with news that the Dragon Slaying Organization had entered the war and was coming for Adam and Free City.

• Adam revealed his adult dragon form, terrifying Free City's merchants and adventurers before concealing his presence again.
• Adam ordered the Devil to spread the Bloodline Advancement Technique and Blood Exchange Surgery and to stir conflicts, while Lina accelerated blood exchanges and led Forest Elf slaves to awaken dragons.
• Within three months, bloodshed and local conflicts escalated across the Dragon Plane, and an awakened dragon's destruction of several city-states ignited a widespread war.
• Adam used Free City to gather refugees, transform them, and send them back out to intensify the conflict, while he tracked the source's growing inability to resist erosion.
• Lina returned to Free City and told Adam that the Dragon Slaying Organization had joined the war and was sending envoys to kill him and seize Free City.

Adam learned that the Dragon Slaying Organization’s envoys were attacking Lina and disrupting the Dragon Plane, and he suspected their strange energy could help him investigate electrons in the Aether Environment. When seven envoys attacked Free City and accused him of endangering two worlds, Adam countered their combined assault with Elemental Cannon.

• Lina told Adam that a powerful envoy had attacked her in a Fire Dragon’s territory, and Devil read her memories.
• Adam calmed Lina, reinforced Free City’s Magic Array, and chose to remain instead of fleeing.
• Three days later, seven black-robed envoys attacked Free City’s protective barrier, and Adam flew out to face them.
• Adam defended himself against the envoys’ Energy Beams while they questioned his survival of the Frost Dragon Disaster and declared him their enemy.
• The seven envoys combined their Energy Beams against Adam, and Adam answered with Elemental Cannon.

Adam learned that the Dragon Slaying Organization had split between factions seeking peace and renewed war, and realized the War Faction had used Lina to reveal the Refining Technique. He defeated three of the seven envoys with overwhelming Shaping Energy Magic, then made clear that he wanted them and their homeland rather than the Dragon Plane.

• Adam pieced together that the Peace Faction had maintained peace with the dragons, while the War Faction had seized power and pushed the Dragon Plane into war.
• Adam realized the War Faction had likely taught Lina the Refining Technique to expose it to him, and the envoys mocked him for being used.
• Adam unleashed a saturation barrage of Shaping Energy Magic weapons, then used Dragon's Might to guide attacks against the seven envoys.
• The envoys destroyed three Elemental Dragons, but Adam's missiles killed three of them and released radioactive elemental aura.
• The four surviving envoys offered Adam the Dragon Plane and asked for shelter, but Adam said he wanted them and their homeland.

Adam questioned the Khatos envoys about their ruined world and learned that its punishment had transformed their ancestors and descendants into monsters. When the envoys launched a coordinated ambush, Adam escaped their energy net by activating his transformation ability and counterattacked.

• The envoys told Adam that their ancestors had drained Khatos World’s power, bringing down the world’s punishment and turning their people and offspring into monsters.
• Adam asked why the envoys could use their abilities in the Dragon Plane, but they attacked before answering.
• The envoys surrounded Adam with amplified Energy Beams, and he severed the injured part of his Dragon Body to stop the beams’ effects.
• Adam activated his werewolf transformation talent, shrank his body, and used phantom Elemental Dragons to break free of the energy net.
• Adam attacked the envoys with splitting Elemental Missiles, and they prepared to Self-Destruct as he appeared before them.

Adam defeated the mutated envoys, destroyed contaminated Free City, and prepared to seek intelligence in the Race Union Zone. Meanwhile, the Dragon Plane’s war spread as dragons and covenant races joined the fighting.

• Adam froze the envoys and their Energy Beams with Dragon Language spells, then preserved the three radioactive bodies in blocks of ice.
• Adam found Free City contaminated, destroyed its remaining half with Elemental Missiles, and returned to the laboratory to replenish his energy.
• Adam sent Lina away with the surviving Forest Elves and told her to suspend the mission to harass the dragons.
• Adam buried the ice blocks, destroyed his experimental records, and decided to travel with the Devil and the sealed young dragon to the Race Union Zone for intelligence.
• The Devil urged Adam to report his findings to the Mage World, but Adam chose to wait until the worlds collided or he entered Khatos.
• The War Faction widened the Dragon Plane’s conflict, drawing dragons from their lairs and bringing covenant races out of their forbidden lands.

The Covenant Races turned against the Dragon Slaying Organization, while Adam hurried toward the Race Union Zone after growing far stronger through his transformation talent. Okov confronted the Peace Faction and demanded to know where Adam was, claiming him as his child and insisting that Adam owed him his Dragon Clan inheritance.

• The Covenant Races left their ancestral lands to demand answers from the Dragon Slaying Organization, whose War Faction killed their envoys.
• Adam destroyed Free City, traveled toward the Race Union Zone, and used his transformation talent to shrink to three meters while increasing his strength more than threefold.
• Adam reached the outskirts of the Race Union Zone as the Peace Faction struggled to stop him without provoking the Dragon Clan and Covenant Races.
• Okov crashed into the Peace Faction's meeting and demanded to know where Chris Frost was.
• Okov claimed Adam was his child because Adam carried Dragon Clan blood, and insisted Adam must hand over his supposed ancient inheritance.

The dragons sought Chris Frost’s Other World inheritance as a way to escape their damaged world, and Okov confronted Adam to seize it. Adam faced Okov in the air, prepared to fight after dismissing the dragons’ ambitions.

• Morris warned Okov that Adam was powerful and urged him to kill Adam immediately if he captured him, but Okov flew toward Naji City without accepting the warning.
• Bru told Morris the dragons could no longer be trusted, and Morris suspected they wanted to invade the invaders’ world.
• Adam interfered in battles on both sides to prolong the war and help the War Faction, while Sophia reported that the dragons were coming after him.
• Okov ambushed Adam with an ice spear, then demanded that Adam surrender his Other World inheritance and submit to the dragons.
• Adam resisted Okov’s Dragon’s Might and questioned the dragons’ belief that they deserved to conquer other worlds.

Adam defeated Okov, exposing the gap between his combat skill and dragonkind’s primitive use of magic. He left Okov pinned and badly wounded, then demanded to know whether dragonkind’s inheritance contained more advanced knowledge.

• Okov mocked Adam and demanded that he submit to dragonkind, but Adam attacked him with an Ice Element Energy Beam.
• Adam wounded Okov with missiles, Dragon Breath, and his wings, while Okov retaliated with blood blades, his tail, and Dragon Language Magics.
• Adam matched Okov’s spells with greater power, mocked dragonkind’s stagnation, and blasted Okov with a barrage of missiles and elemental shells.
• Adam reflected that dragonkind’s greed and laziness left it vulnerable to Khatos World, then asked the speared Okov about advanced knowledge in dragonkind’s inheritance.
• Okov struggled despite his injuries, and Adam’s electric current scorched his wounds.

After Khatos World collided with the Dragon Plane, Adam killed Okov and worked to keep the Dragon Plane’s source from collapsing before he could gather intelligence. Following further collisions and a period of uneasy calm, the firmament split open as the first Dimensional Rift began to form.

• The Dragon Plane’s sky shattered as Khatos World’s first collision weakened the source, and Adam killed Okov.
• Adam told Devil that Khatos World had found the Dragon Plane and decided to preserve the plane as a landing point by limiting the War Faction’s erosion of its source.
• The War Faction contracted the battlefield and confined Lina and the Forest Elves, so Adam told Lina to keep her people safe and wait.
• Half a month later, a second collision pushed the Dragon Plane’s energy reserves to a critical level, and Adam began mapping the shifting World Border.
• Adam circled the Dragon Plane through the third and fourth collisions, and three months after Okov’s death, the firmament split open.

Adam connected to the Fifth Element Holy Tower as the Dragon Plane came under attack from a monstrous being emerging through the Dimensional Rift. After learning that reinforcements would take three years to arrive, he chose to remain and guide the War Mages to the plane.

• The Devil told Adam that the origin’s restrictions had vanished as a gigantic creature began forcing open the Dimensional Rift.
• Adam awakened his true body, took the Devil as a magic staff, and destroyed mutated monsters that entered the Dragon Plane.
• Adam sent the Fifth Element Holy Tower intelligence about the war between planes, Hyperdimensional creatures, and knowledge capable of corrupting an origin.
• Priscilla Hyperdimensional told Adam the Holy Tower would send a Mage Legion, but it would take three years to arrive.
• Priscilla offered Adam the choice to leave the Space Anchor and escape or stay to guide the War Mages, and Adam chose to stay.

Adam used the Magic Net’s energy support to fight Khatos’s monsters and considered entering Khatos, while the Dragon Plane descended into desperate slaughter. After the dragons found Okov’s corpse and began hunting the Forest Elves, Adam rushed to their refuge and reached the Makalu Mountain Range as five dragons circled overhead.

• Priscilla Hyperdimensional opened the Magic Net’s energy channels to Adam and monitored his movements as he explored the World Border.
• Adam used Static Storm to kill Khatos’s monsters emerging from the rift, then left the World Border to gather resources before the invasion advanced.
• The Dragon Plane’s inhabitants slaughtered one another for power as the Dragon Slaying Organization united against Khatos, while the dragons searched for Okov and Chris Frost.
• The dragons found Okov’s ruined corpse and decided to capture Chris Frost and force the secret of the Other World from them.
• After Lina warned Adam that dragons were closing in on the Forest Elves hiding at the Greenleaf Tribe, Adam raced to the Makalu Mountain Range and saw five dragons circling overhead.
