Chapter Summaries

Adam brought the frozen Dragon Slaying Warriors to the Forest Elf Tribe, where Lina tried to explain his arrival to her people. The elves rejected Lina and defied Adam, who demanded to know what gave them the confidence to challenge him.

• Adam carried four barely living Dragon Slaying Warriors through the forest while Lina followed with vines holding their frozen bodies.
• Lina asked whether Adam had reached adulthood and then pleaded to return to her tribe first, but Adam hurried them to the settlement.
• Adam arrived at the Forest Elf Tribe and ordered Lina to explain his presence within ten minutes.
• Lina's father accused her of bringing another Frost Dragon and called her a traitor while the tribe's elves aimed their bows at Adam.
• An arrow landed between Adam and Lina, and Adam surrounded the elves with freezing Dragon's Might before demanding to know who had given them courage to defy him.

Adam defeated the Forest Elf Tribe and learned that they had contacted the Dragon Slaying Organization, which he suspected was targeting the sleeping Okov. He ordered Lina to make the tribe his slaves, then began interrogating the captured Dragon Slaying Warriors about their powers.

• The Patriarch ordered the Forest Elves to kill Adam and join the Dragon Slaying Organization, but Adam froze their attack and defeated them with ice swords.
• Adam made Lina the tribe’s overseer and told her to explain what had happened to her father.
• Adam freed the Patriarch from his Ice Seal and demanded information about the Dragon Slaying Organization, but the Patriarch refused to answer.
• Adam gave Lina until dawn to enslave the tribe, threatening to strip the souls from anyone who remained unbound and turn them into puppets.
• Adam prepared a laboratory and questioned the four captured Dragon Slaying Warriors about their cultivation methods and energy, but Jace denounced him and refused to cooperate.

Adam forced Master-Servant Contracts on four Dragon Slaying Warriors, learned how their elemental abilities worked, and dissected them to study their bodies. Lina then reported that she had only managed to contract a little over half of the clan members before exhaustion and resistance stopped her.

• Adam used the Devil to force contracts on Carter, Jace, and the other two Dragon Slaying Warriors, then learned they had no cultivation methods and relied on innate elemental abilities.
• The Devil explained that dragons possessed cultivation inheritances, prompting Adam to resolve to capture a dragon with a complete inheritance.
• Adam dissected the four warriors and found that their bodies circulated elemental power through blood and Energy Circuits, while Jace's enhancement ability worked like hypnosis.
• Before dawn, Lina told Adam she had contracted only a little over half of the clan members because she had become exhausted and several resisted fiercely.

Adam discovered that Lina’s father had resisted joining him after a mysterious visitor invited the tribe to join the Dragon Slaying Organization. He kept the Resistors alive as blood sources, continued dissecting the Dragon Slaying Warriors, and chose to exploit Lina’s hatred rather than punish her.

• Adam went with Lina to confront the Resistors and found her father leading them against the elves who had signed contracts.
• Adam killed the Resistors’ ability to resist, then used the Devil to search Lina’s father’s memories and learned that a mysterious person had invited the tribe to join the Dragon Slaying Organization.
• Adam left the Resistors alive as living blood sources and went back to the laboratory, leaving Lina behind in despair.
• Adam dissected the four Dragon Slaying Warriors and found that their brains lacked the organ that generated Mental Power in humans from the Mage World.
• Adam told the Devil that he would let Lina’s hatred grow and help her become stronger so she would remain useful to him.

Adam taught Lina how to purify the Forest Elves’ bloodline and used her hatred to motivate her to obey and grow stronger. After a week, Adam had fused lightning into his ice magic, and Lina reported that the ice spikes had turned blood-red.

• Adam explained the Bloodline Purification process to Lina and ordered her to oversee it while scouting for strangers entering the Makalu Mountain Range.
• Adam warned Lina that gaining strength would help her pursue her hidden aims, then discussed with the Devil how her obsession with growing stronger might outlast her hatred.
• Lina divided the Forest Elves into rotating scouting groups, punished one elf for threatening Adam, and ordered the others to use their talents on the Blood Pool beneath the ice spikes.
• Adam constructed new Energy Circuits over the next week, increasing the power of his ice magic by combining it with lightning.
• Lina entered Adam’s laboratory and told him that the ice spikes had turned blood-red.

Adam began replacing Lina’s blood with purified blood from several hundred Forest Elves, subjecting her to a brutal procedure. Lina’s heart exploded and regenerated amid a surge of green energy, and she emerged transformed as plants burst into growth around her.

• Adam learned that unknown watchers were lurking outside the Makalu Mountain Range and that other tribes were growing dissatisfied with his actions.
• Adam collected blood from the Forest Elf slaves and decided to use it to replace Lina’s blood.
• Adam subjected Lina to the blood replacement procedure, and her body violently rejected most of the incoming blood.
• Lina’s heart exploded, but new blood and green energy regenerated it as plants began growing throughout the laboratory and outside.
• Lina emerged from the green light, and flowers bloomed where she landed.

After Lina’s bloodline advancement gave her control over plants and the ability to summon Treemen, Adam experimented on her to learn the ability. When her father began advancing through their bloodline connection, Lina ordered the elves to kill him, but Adam stopped her arrow at the last moment.

• Lina discovered she could control plants as avatars and summon a Treeman called Nature Guardian.
• Adam restrained Lina and cut her open in the laboratory to study her Energy Circuits, leaving her traumatized.
• A Forest Elf told Lina that her father, the Patriarch, was receiving natural energy and seemed to be advancing.
• Lina ordered the tribespeople to kill the Patriarch as Adam approached, then fired an emerald arrow at him.
• Adam froze the arrow before it struck the Patriarch, and Lina was relieved.

Adam elevated the Forest Elves’ bloodlines through brutal experiments, while Lina guarded her new power and eventually killed her father. When a stranger entered the Macaron Mountains and headed toward the tribe, Lina suspected a connection to the Dragon Slaying Organization and ordered a slave to investigate.

• Adam stopped Lina from killing her father, used ice tubes to keep him alive as a source of blood, and ordered Lina to send Forest Elves to his laboratory for bloodline elevation.
• Lina killed an elf who questioned her authority, and Adam’s experiments later succeeded in elevating only about one in fifteen Forest Elves.
• Lina personally brought her clansmen to the laboratory and watched the operations, fearing that someone might become more powerful than her.
• After Adam said the failed subjects’ blood was too low-grade for further elevation, Lina went to her father and killed him with thorns.
• A slave reported that a stranger had entered the Macaron Mountains and was heading toward the tribe, possibly connected to the Dragon Slaying Organization.
• Lina ordered the slave to follow the stranger and gather information without being discovered.

After learning that an emissary of the Dragon Slaying Organization had appeared nearby, Adam decided to send Lina and the Forest Elves to infiltrate it and gather intelligence. Lina agreed, and Adam ordered her to bring him the maps before contacting the emissary.

• Lina told Adam that the Forest Elves had discovered suspicious traces of a Dragon Slaying Organization emissary, while Lord Okov remained asleep on the Main Peak.
• Adam learned that the surrounding tribes were too weak to challenge Okov and asked Lina whether she would join the Dragon Slaying Organization.
• Adam explained that the Forest Elves could infiltrate the organization under the protection of their Master-Servant Contract, and Lina agreed to go with her slaves.
• Adam told Lina to leave one slave behind, bring him the maps within two days, and then attempt to contact the emissary.
• After Lina left, Adam destroyed the experimental remains, and the Devil complained that Adam had not given it the infiltration mission.

Adam corrected Lina’s inadequate map, then left the forest tribe with a Forest Elf named Kambi to search for a suitable place to establish a Dragon Lair. Kambi told him about a vast Ice Plain to the north, and Adam saw it as a promising setting for his plans.

• Adam criticized Lina’s rough map, drew a standardized example, and ordered her to mark areas with intense or unstable energy reactions.
• Lina returned with a clearer map, and Adam destroyed his temporary laboratory before taking a male Forest Elf with him.
• After flying through the night, Adam learned from the elf that the Race Union Zone lay beyond a gravel desert and consisted of city-states.
• The elf told Adam that a vast Ice Plain lay north of the Makalu Mountain Range and was inhabited by only a few barbaric races.
• Adam decided the Ice Plain suited his plans better than the mountains and learned that his guide was named Kambi.

Adam set out with Kambi for the Ice Plain near the World Border, hoping to find an ideal lair and a key site for Plane Sacrifice magic. Meanwhile, Lina successfully approached the Dragon Slaying Organization, leaving Adam and the Devil to suspect the group recruited like a cult.

• Adam learned from Kambi that the Ice Plain lay near the World Border and ordered him to lead the way there.
• Lina sent most of the tribe into hiding, then posed as a survivor of the Greenleaf Tribe and asked the emissary to let them join the Dragon Slaying Organization.
• The emissary believed Lina’s account and welcomed the Forest Elves, trusting that the organization’s cultivation method would secure their loyalty.
• The Devil told Adam that Lina had made contact with the organization with surprising ease, and Adam wondered whether its real goal was to gather believers and their Power of Faith.
• Adam dodged a bolt of lightning while flying with Kambi and concluded that the plane was more complicated than he had expected.

Adam and Kambi reached the Border Ice Plain after encountering severe energy fluctuations that suggested its Crystal Wall System was disturbed. After crossing a sudden ice storm, Adam sensed that they had entered someone else’s territory.

• On their eighth day of travel, Adam and Kambi saw the ocean, and Kambi asked to stop and eat after going six days without food.
• Kambi grew fruit from a seed to feed himself, while Adam noticed the area’s energy repeatedly vanished and returned, making his attempts to shape an ice sword fail.
• After the fluctuations subsided, Adam and Kambi continued at a lower altitude and reached the Border Ice Plain two days later.
• Adam entered the Plain’s blizzard and used Dragon’s Might to keep the chaotic Ice Element from surging into his magic circuits.
• The storm vanished after thirty minutes, and Adam noticed ice loosening beyond the reach of Dragon’s Might, suggesting they had trespassed into someone else’s territory.

Rice and Caesar were caught in a Snow Worm attack after surviving the Ice Plain blizzard, while Adam and Kambi encountered the same beast and discovered the valuable crystals it excreted. The Snow Worm turned toward Adam as Rice dragged the injured Caesar through the storm.

• Rice maintained an underground shelter through the blizzard while Caesar and the others urged him to leave the Ice Plain.
• After the blizzard stopped, tremors revealed a Snow Worm beneath the ice, and the adventurers fled as it erupted from the ground.
• Adam explained that the Snow Worm was not his target, and Kambi identified it as a vicious Ice Plain beast that produced valuable Ice Element Crystals.
• Adam picked up a crystal as the Snow Worm swallowed three adventurers and then charged toward him.
• Caesar lost his longbow and could no longer walk, so Rice dragged him away and pulled him clear of the Snow Worm's Energy Beam.

Adam fought a giant Snow Worm on the Ice Plain while Kambi protected Rice and Caesar. Adam blasted the creature apart and picked up its heads, but it survived the explosion.

• Rice and Caesar crossed into a calm, cold world and came face-to-face with Adam, whom Rice recognized as a dragon.
• Adam ordered Kambi to protect the adventurers, then attacked the pursuing Snow Worm with a rain of ice blades.
• The Snow Worm survived the assault and charged Adam, while Kambi warned Rice that the creature could only be temporarily stopped by smashing it into fragments.
• Adam formed an Elemental Dragon with ice and lightning magic, which burned the Snow Worm's flesh and dragged its full two-headed body out of the ground.
• The Snow Worm coiled around the Elemental Dragon, but Adam made it explode and scattered the creature's body across the Ice Plain.
• Adam picked up the Snow Worm's heads after it survived the explosion, and the Devil compared its life force to Garfield's.

Adam learned that Dragon People descended from dragons and elves, then chose an open stretch of the Ice Plain as the site for a city. He planned to build a Free City with captives and a Snow Worm, leaving Kambi stunned by the task.

• Adam discovered that the Snow Worm had no soul, then questioned the captive Dragon Person Rice about his origins.
• Kambi explained that Dragon People descended from dragons and elves and often lived in remote places because other races rejected them.
• After flying for a day and a night, Adam chose an exposed area of the Ice Plain and drove its hidden creatures away.
• Adam revealed his plan to build a Free City as a trading hub and source of intelligence.
• When Kambi asked what they would use to build the city, Adam pointed to him, the captives, and the Ice-Sealed Snow Worm.

Adam built Free City on the Ice Plain and discovered that the Dragon Plane’s World Border was being eroded by an unknown external force. He returned to find Kambi had come back, while preparing to accelerate his mission amid the threat of a possible war between worlds.

• Adam used Snow Worms to dig Free City’s foundations and planned to use their Energy Stones in Ancient Magic Arrays.
• After the Dragon Person woke with his soul damaged, Adam strengthened Dragon Person Rice’s bloodline, left Kambi to supervise construction, and searched the Ice Plain for more creatures and Snow Worms.
• Adam returned with giant Snow Worms, ice bears, and Snow Monsters, while the Devil took control of Dragon Person Rice’s body and helped complete Free City’s protective barrier.
• Adam left the Devil to preside over Free City’s founding ceremony as Dragon Person Rice and traveled to the World Border, where he found it radiating dangerous energy and steadily contracting.
• Adam concluded that an external force was eroding the Dragon Plane and resolved to hurry his preparations; five days after returning to Free City, he learned Kambi had returned.

Adam confronted the Frost Giant, Ice Plain Werewolf, and Yeti who had threatened the Free City, and defeated them with the city's Magic Arrays. The Devil discovered that all three representatives had died, leaving Adam without the prisoners he had intended to enslave.

• The Devil told Adam that the Ice Plain envoys had demanded the Free City and threatened its residents.
• Kambi recalled being captured by the Ice Plain races, who had threatened to eat him and the others.
• The Frost Giant, Ice Plain Werewolf, and Yeti mocked Adam and threatened to kill him when he arrived.
• Adam learned that Kambi knew the location of the Ice Plain Werewolf tribe and attacked the three representatives.
• Adam used the city's Magic Arrays to overwhelm the three monsters, and the Devil found that they were dead.

Adam discovered that the Ice Plain races carried inherited knowledge protected by a lethal mechanism, then dissected their bodies and copied their physical abilities into his Dragon Body. After becoming much larger and stronger, he began a painful procedure to enhance Kambi.

• Adam learned from the Devil that the three creatures' inherited knowledge had destroyed their souls, and they suspected ancient beings had planted the protection to guard against invaders.
• Adam showed the Devil the strange scene at the World Border and decided to continue his mission to investigate both discovered planes.
• Adam dissected the three corpses and found complex Energy Circuits, including useful enlargement, crystallization, and transformation abilities.
• Adam installed the giant's and Snow Monster's abilities in himself, growing beyond eight meters tall with crystalline scales and greatly increased strength.
• Adam brought Kambi into a new room, warned him to endure the pain, and split him in two with an Ice Blade while hoping his plant energy would keep him alive.

Adam transformed Kambi into a Treeman by constructing Ice Crystal conduits through his body, then traveled alone to the Ice Plain Werewolf tribe. After learning of the Ancient Pact and provoking the werewolves, Adam prepared to unleash his new Elemental Cannon.

• Adam operated on Kambi and restarted his heart, completing the werewolf's transformation into a Treeman.
• Adam ordered Kambi to study his new abilities and then flew alone toward the Ice Plain Werewolf tribe.
• More than a hundred werewolves confronted Adam, and their leader accused him of killing Kens and violating the Ancient Pact.
• Adam claimed he was only eight years old and asked what the Ancient Pact was.
• The werewolf leader attacked with an ice storm, and Adam countered by forming ninety-nine multi-barreled rocket launcher racks and naming his spell Elemental Cannon.

Adam fought the Ice Plain Wolf Clan, using Shaping Energy Magic to overwhelm the pack before confronting its leader after the werewolf Elder possessed him. The Elder accused the Frost Dragon of breaking an ancient covenant and attacked after Adam claimed he was only eight years old.

• Adam bombarded the werewolves with ice-and-lightning Shaping Energy Shells, then fought them at close range while trying not to kill his merchandise.
• The werewolf leader summoned a full-moon image and was possessed by the Ice Plain Wolf Clan's Elder.
