"Unfortunately, this characteristic of Ever-Battling, Ever-Advancing has not been enhanced."
Red Iron Dragon shook his head slightly, thinking as expected but a little disappointed.
Among its many features, the most important ones are Undying Life and Ever-Battling, Ever-Advancing.
The former underwent a qualitative change when he set foot on Crown Rank, making him like the BOSS in the game. As long as the blood bar is not empty, he will not really die. No matter how severe the damage he suffers, as long as there is a glimmer of energy left, he can recover quickly.
The latter, the characteristic that makes him stronger as he fights, has not changed at all.
This made him feel a little disappointed.
However, it is disappointing, but it cannot be said to be discouraged.
He has long been accustomed to this rhythm.
The road of evolution is never smooth sailing. Sometimes certain characteristics will advance by leaps and bounds, and sometimes they will stagnate. This is normal.
"There is a high probability that my evolutionary characteristics will not be enhanced until Destiny Rank."
"As for the qualitative change of talent itself, maybe we have to wait until we set foot on the Immortal Realm."
"At that time, the so-called talent will truly be sublimated into my Divine Power, becoming clearer, more specific, and more powerful."
Garos thought silently, the huge dragon head lowered slightly. He had never really seen the power of Immortal One, but there were some related descriptions in the inheritance, which impressed him deeply, and it was indeed worth looking forward to.
Immediately, he no longer paid attention to the changes in characteristics, and once again cast his gaze on Dragon Jade deep in his chest.
At this moment, his thoughts returned to before falling asleep.
"Before falling asleep, no matter how much I tried, I could not truly complete Aura Burst. The fundamental reason is that my own energy is too vast and cannot be fully exploded in a short period of time. It is like a huge reservoir. It is basically impossible to release all the water in an instant."
"Now, the properties of Dragon Jade have changed and cannot be used to treat itself."
He carefully felt the status of Dragon Jade.
It turned golden, still unusual, but the softness of the healing energy had completely disappeared. Now, there was only a feeling of excitement that was so intense that it was almost violent.
"Instead, I can achieve Aura Burst through the extremely excited Dragon Jade energy.
Garos recalled the battle after he was awakened.
To say that I was awakened by surprise is actually inappropriate.
Before Sword of Celestial Phenomena fell, he had actually completed his deep sleep, but did not wake up directly.
At that time, he was in the afterglow of a deep sleep, rehearsing the Aura Burst technique over and over again in his dream. Those attempts that could not be completed in reality could be simulated countless times in his dream.
Southeastern Regions's joint raid did not have any negative impact on Garos.
In the eyes of some intelligent creatures, this event is quite a coincidence.
Legendary Realm chose to attack Red Emperor when he woke up early, which led to a tragic ending; but before, when Red Emperor was sleeping normally, he was not attacked at all.
It's like luck.
But in reality, this is no coincidence or luck.
Under normal circumstances, a sleeping period of about a hundred years is too long.
If there is no Seroel and his own sleep time cannot be shortened, then the uneasy Garos has only two choices, either choose to sleep in the safer Fey Wilds, or clean up all hidden dangers before falling asleep.
Since he was sleeping honestly at Material Plane, he was already prepared to face any attack.
This is his choice.
"Aura Burst, it was just a superficial attempt before, now I will verify it carefully."
Garos Concentrate your mind and become highly concentrated.
Buzz!
Dragon Qi moves on.
They seeped out from the gaps in the scales, like countless tiny snakes and pythons, meandering and spreading in the air, becoming more and more dense. In the blink of an eye, those Dragon Qi turned into substantial arrogance, swirling and surging around Red Iron Dragon's body, making a low whistling sound, forming circles of energy vortexes visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, golden light lit up from the dragon's chest.
It is the light of Dragon Jade.
Solid and bright, like a sun shrunk countless times, sealed under the scales. Every time it flickers, it releases scorching light, igniting the surrounding Dragon Qi, just like fire falling into firewood.
Boom!
The arrogance surged.
Like adding fuel to the fire, all Dragon Qi were instantly ignited.
The flames that were originally just spinning around the body turned into golden flames rising into the sky, completely surrounding Red Iron Dragon.
The flames surged wildly, making a low roar, and even the surrounding air was burned and distorted.
At this time, Red Iron Dragon is like a sun.
A sun that shines infinitely and is burning blazingly.
Red Iron Dragon's wings shook, and his huge body shot straight into the sky, then hovered high in the sky, letting the golden flames engulf him.
He could feel that the Dragon Jade in his body seemed to be alive, beating like a heart, releasing a massive amount of energy with every beat.
These energies poured into his body, igniting Dragon Qi, making his arrogance more and more fierce and blazing.
It felt like there were countless rivers of fire rushing through my veins.
And this is Aura Burst, the real Aura Burst.
It is no longer the kind of half-finished attempt that can only last for a few seconds before backfire.
Now, it is a stable skill that can continue to operate. It was developed and perfected step by step by Garos himself, and adjusted by Adaptive Evolution's characteristics. It is perfectly adapted to himself, as if it was born this way.
Golden light illuminated the entire sky.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, all the clouds have evaporated, revealing the clear blue sky. On the ground, the deep pits and ravines created by Garos appear particularly clear under the light, and every crack and every collapse is clearly visible.
The whole scene looks both magnificent and a bit ferocious.
Garos Close your eyes and feel the power surging inside your body.
Saturated.
He began to feel a sense of saturation, like an extreme swelling.
It's like a container that has been filled with too much water and may overflow at any time. Every muscle, every scale, and every bone is filled to the brim with energy.
This feeling is amazing.
It was both dangerous and fascinating to him, as if if he took another step forward, he would be able to touch some higher realm, where the power was boiling, roaring, and cheering.
As time passed, the scales on his body began to crack inch by inch.
The cracks started from the edge of the scales and spread to the center, densely packed like a spider web. Under the cracks, golden light came out, making his entire body transparent, like a sculpture made of light.
He just stood quietly in the sky, but with him as the center, there were circles of air waves constantly bursting out and spreading.
It hit the air and made a low roar, like the heartbeat of a giant beast.
"This powerful feeling----"
Red Iron Dragon lifts Dragon Arm, and the dragon claws open.
Because of the extremely active energy, Dragon Aura Bomb was condensed and formed from his claws in almost the blink of an eye, at an incredibly fast speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dragon Aura Bomb shot out from his claws one after another, pouring into the surrounding sky.
They dragged the golden tail flames, drawing countless bright tracks in the blue sky, and then exploded loudly in the sky, with layers of light, like fireworks at a festival, but thousands of times more spectacular than any fireworks.
One.
Ten.
Hundreds.
----Countless Dragon Aura Bomb exploded in the sky, dyeing the sky into a dazzling golden color. The explosion shock waves converged and spread in the air, forming circles and circles of ripples visible to the naked eye, spreading in all directions until the end of the sky.
This scene was even more spectacular than during the battle of his awakening.
At that time, he had just woken up from a deep sleep and was still a little weak; but now, he is in full strength, venting his huge and vast energy to his heart's content.
After a long time, the golden light finally gradually dimmed.
The aftermath of the explosion slowly dissipated in the air, and the blue sky was revealed again. Only occasionally, a few strands of golden light could be seen, floating in the wind, like remaining scars in the sky.
Garos lowered his head and looked at his claw arm.
The cracks on the scales are still there, but they are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The gaps in the dragon scales that were opened by the energy are gradually closing and closing as the energy is released.
The body is recovering quickly.
"That's almost it. This kind of saturated energy release is just incidental."
he whispered.
This is just the beginning.
The real changes are yet to come.
Then, Red Iron Dragon closed his eyes again.
Dragon Qi surged out again, golden flames surged wildly.
Not long after, that familiar feeling of saturation appeared again, and his dragon scales began to crack, and the energy was so full that it almost spurted out from under each scale.
But this time, Garos was not in a hurry to release.
He took a deep breath, and his muscles suddenly tensed.
The head is raised high, the chest is straightened, and the back is arched. Every muscle in the body is contracting violently, and the bones are creaking, as if the entire body is bearing huge pressure and undergoing some incredible transformation at the same time.
Then, changes happened.
The golden flames that rushed out of the body were compressed back and shrank inward.
They no longer burned blazingly, but stuck tightly to the surface of the scales, as if coated with a golden light film, and this light film was getting thicker and thicker, even extending to his head, covering the roots of the dragon's horns, wrapping him completely.
As a result, his dragon horns began to grow.
The original pair of protagonists became more majestic and thick, with complex gilt-like patterns growing on their surface. The pairs of supporting characters beside them also began to grow and extend rapidly, becoming longer and thicker, and finally became the same as the original protagonists.
They meandered, pierced toward the sky, or swept back, glowing with a cold metallic sheen.
It was like a crown woven from pure strength, worn on his head.
When this Dragon Crown was formed, the light film on his body was completely solidified and solidified, tightly fitting every inch of the dragon scales covering his body. Every corner was seamless and no flaws could be found.
Garos, at this time turned into a golden dragon.
And, it's not just ordinary gold.
The golden light on his body shines brightly, and the color of his scales is more dazzling than any Gold Dragon.
Under the influence of this light and Dragon Crown, Garos's originally strong and ferocious body was given some divine majesty out of thin air.
That kind of majesty is not like a mortal creature, but more like an existence coming out of myth.
Garos opened his eyes, and even the pupils turned into solid gold at this moment, like two burning scorching suns.
He raised a dragon claw and waved it gently.
The tip of the claw cut through the air, leaving several dark crack trails. The space was directly torn apart. The cracks stayed in the air for a while before gradually healing.
"Power, it seems like there is endless power surging inside my body."
Red Iron Dragon showed a happy expression.
This feeling is even stronger than the saturated catharsis just now.
He even had the illusion that he could tear apart everything in front of him if he just wanted to.
Red Iron Dragon suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at his body that was shining with golden light, and thought to himself, "In my form, if I meet an intelligent creature that is not familiar with Dragonkin, will I be regarded as Gold Dragon King?"
"Well, it's very possible."
Immediately, Garos began to become familiar with this body.
Sometimes it flies at full speed, whipping up world-destroying winds in the sky, and when the wind hits the ground, it can tear open deep trenches; sometimes it rushes to high altitudes and then falls to the earth, bombarding the ground with shocking deep pits and collapses, and the whole Small World is shaking.
If this Small World were alive, it would definitely feel like the end of the world is coming at this moment.
However, here there are only barren wilderness and silent hills, silently enduring the ravages of the dragon.
After some time.
The golden dragon landed on a hill, paused, and its light gradually began to dissipate.
"The new form formed through Aura Burst ignites the energy I used for resurrection before, and turns it all into an explosive amplification of itself."
He carefully felt the changes in his body.
"With my current Undying Life characteristics, this is equivalent to burning my life."
"The bad thing is that when this energy fills the whole body, it cannot be interrupted. Once it enters the second stage, it must be burned to the end until all Dragon Jade energy is exhausted."
Garos felt the rapidly burning energy, thoughtfully.
Aura Burst is divided into two stages.
In the first stage, when he just feels his body is saturated, he can also stop Aura Burst by releasing Dragon Aura Bomb, or shaping other Dragon Qi attacks.
This is a reversible process, just like reservoir flood discharge. As long as the gate is opened, the water level can be controlled.
If he allows Dragon Qi to continue burning, the next step will be the second stage.
Dragon Qi, which burned to the extreme, began to compress and solidify, forming a golden light film covering the whole body.
At this point, there is no way to stop.
It can only exhaust the energy of Dragon Jade in one breath, and its own energy will be consumed to an almost dry state, infinitely close to death, just like a candle that burns to the end with only a small wick left.
It was at this moment that the golden light on Garos almost completely dissipated.
This also means that he has almost exhausted his energy.
However, he did not become weak because of this.
Buzz!
Another layer of white light lit up. That was the light of Rebirth at Death's Door.
The Rebirth at Death's Door in the extreme state is directly triggered. With the dragon as the center, the shock wave spreads out in circles, passing over the ground, kicking up dust in the sky, passing over the hills, and flattening the raised pebbles.
The whole world trembled under his power.
At this moment, he is the strongest.
Garos clenched the dragon's claws, feeling the power emerging from his body.
At the same time, he looked around and thought to himself.
"Aura Burst in the second stage will be my most powerful skill at this stage, bar none, but it is also very dangerous and is a double-edged sword."
"It will burn me almost to the point of near death."
"When the last resort comes, you can use it indiscriminately."
"You also need to be extremely careful when exercising. If you move your hands too carefully and really burn yourself to death, that would be a joke."
"Well----Aura Burst is a skill. The combat form formed by Aura Burst will be called Shining Form."
As I kept thinking about it, the strength in my body was about to weaken.
If in a fierce battle, after that, there is another round of life and death and anger and fear of death, Garos will be truly weak, and it will be a weakness that is almost exhausted and infinitely close to death.
"It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous."
Garos thought to himself, and the huge head shook.
He has always cherished his life, but at the same time, he also knew that the risk was worth it. The more powerful the skill, the greater the risk.
The key is to grasp the timing and proportion of use.
At the same time, he concentrated on condensing and shaping Dragon Qi inch by inch, turning it into a figure with three heads and six arms.
The sharp claws reached out and tore out a space passage leading directly to his treasure house.
He used a pair of dragon claws to support the edge of the passage, and the other two pairs of dragon claws stretched in, grabbing a large number of gems,
Magic potions, energy crystals----
Immediately, the three giant dragons raised their heads and took a deep breath.
Phew!
The Qi can be condensed as it is, sweeping up everything around it like a hurricane.
Countless gravels, various elements scattered in the air, and even the dust that had just been blown away... were all sucked into the dragon's mouth, and traces of energy visible to the naked eye were even formed in the air, like countless twisted giant pythons.
This is another special feature that Garos has evolved this time.
The effect is similar to Furnace Stomach, but more concentrated on the respiratory system.
It can efficiently absorb the energy in the air through deep breathing. Whether it is isolated elements or small objects or particles, they will be absorbed and transformed.
Garos named it Abyssal Breath Lungs".
He didn't even chew it, he swallowed it all like wind and clouds.
Those gems, magic potions, and energy crystals entered the stomach and were immediately decomposed by Furnace Stomach at an incredible speed, turning into billowing heat that rushed to the limbs and bones.
Soon, Shining Form was completely over.
The feeling of weakness swept over me like a tide.
However, in this short period of time, Garos's energy levels recovered to a small extent and he was out of the dying state. Although he was still very weak, at least Legendary Realm could kill him.
"The resurrection of Dragon Jade was degraded, but the Furnace Stomach and Abyssal Breath Lungs that evolved at the same time, combined with the new death and life characteristics, are better than the resurrection seat to a certain extent."
"And, I also got Shining Form."
Garos patted his belly.
Looking back on the past, although the talent of Adaptive Evolution occasionally brought him unexpected results and degraded some of his traits that felt wrong, no matter what the specifics were, the evolved traits were always suitable for him. Even if the process was tortuous, the results were always in the right direction.
Just like this time.
Crown Rank's characteristics and his own evolved specialties can cooperate with each other to form a new combat system.
The dead life ensures that he will be killed, Furnace Stomach and Abyssal Breath Lungs allow him to quickly recover energy and health bar, and Shining Form gives him the strongest explosive method.
"It's good to be like this. Evolve and change again and again until you become the most perfect ultimate creature."
Garos thought so.
He has no idea of going all the way to the dark side, and he doesn't miss the resurrection too much.
The road of evolution is a process of continuous abandonment and continuous acquisition.
Those who are old-fashioned will be eliminated immediately. Only those who are determined to adapt and change can go far.
Immediately afterwards, Garos continued to eat for a while, until his stomach felt like it was burning, and there was even a roar like an Asian engine, as if there was a real furnace rumbling in his body, and he could not stop.
Then, he took an oath on the spot and prepared to use sleep to recover from the negative effects caused by Shining Form.
The loss of energy is secondary.
Now Garos can recover quickly. With Furnace Stomach and Abyssal Breath Lungs around, as long as he is given enough food, he can recover most of his energy in a short time.
The key is that his body became sluggish after being extremely active by Shining Form."
At ten points of strength, you can probably exert five or six points immediately. It feels like a spring that has been stretched for too long and has lost its elasticity. It needs to rest for a while before it can slowly regain its strength.
Garos closed his eyes in the real world, and his consciousness began to fade away.
Passing through darkness and nothingness, passing through layers of confusion, he then opened his eyes in a dream.
In front of you is a vast world.
It was still the same mature grassland, with warm sunshine and gentle breeze. Wild flowers were blooming all over the hillside, swaying in the wind. In the distance, there was a stream gurgling by with a gentle sound of water.
But compared to before, there is something different here.
The grassland has become so vast that it reaches the edge at a glance.
The originally blurry distance Mountain Range became clear. The peak was covered with white snow and shone with silver light in the sun. Even the wild flowers became bright, lush and lifelike, and you could smell the faint fragrance of flowers.
"You swore an oath."
At this moment, the sound of ripe loss sounded.
A figure flew from below.
Seroel.
She maintained her human form, wearing a light green dress, with her long hair hanging around her shoulders. Her figure was as plump as a butterfly or a piece of feather, fluttering in front of him.
Then, she leaned directly against Shang Shi and leaned against him naturally.
Seroel leaned sideways on the dragon's front legs, with his back pressed against his scales. He put his hands on his paws and shrank into his side, like a cat that had found a stove.
Garos did not avoid it.
Once he would.
In the original Dream World, whenever Seroel approached, he would keep his distance and maintain the restraint and boundaries that should exist between dragons.
But it's the same now.
Being together for a long time can change a lot of things.
They had watched countless sunrises and sunsets together in their dreams, talked about countless topics, and spent countless long hours together. Gradually, the boundaries became blurred.
The relationship between the two has become very close, and they need to deliberately keep their distance.
Now, when Seroel was snuggling up to take the oath, Garos immediately turned his head slightly to give her a comfortable space.
The Dream World you built is even bigger."
Garos said, looking around, he could feel the changes in the world and felt that it was completely different from the past.
Seroel raised his head, his eyes curved into two crescents.
"What else did you find?" she asked.
Red Iron Dragon looked around and felt everything around him carefully.
"Not only has it grown bigger, but it has also become tougher." He paused, "Before, this place gave me an illusory feeling, like a curtain that could be torn to pieces at any time, and it would break with a poke, but now——"
"It feels like a real world now."
"The air felt different, the ground felt heavy, and even the fragrance of the flowers became clearer.
Seroel smiled so happily.
"Of course." She said, "Do you think you are getting stronger now?"
She left the dragon's arms and turned around in front of him. The light green skirt floated up with her movements, drawing a graceful arc in the sky, like the wings of a butterfly.
"I've also gone through Shishu, and the effect of my Shishu is much better than yours."
She stopped swearing, stood in front of him with her hands behind her back, and looked up at him.
"Although my talent can help you, it must be used on myself to maximize its effect. After all, my talent is originally about sleep and dreams."
she said happily.
Garos looked at her and asked, "What level are you now?"
Seroel blinked his eyes and deliberately let it slip.
"What do you think?"
Garos thought for a while, "Thirty-one?
"Low."
"Thirty-two?"
"It's still low."
Garos's eyes narrowed slightly. "Thirty-three?"
"That's not right!"
Seroel's tone was filled with a hint of pride, he jumped a little, and his skirt fluttered again.
"My current Life Level has reached level 33. How about it? Isn't it awesome?"
Garos's eyes narrowed slightly.
Level thirty-three.
taller than him.
He has just stepped into Crown Rank. According to the level classification, he should be in his early thirties, but Seroel is already level thirty-three.
There is a difference of nearly three levels.
At the level of Crown Rank, for a normal dragon, each level requires a long time of accumulation.
"You should become Destiny Rank earlier than me."
Garos said.
Seroel nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, I can not only shorten my sleep time, but also increase my sleep efficiency. This is my advantage. I grow faster than a combat type like you."
She paused and then added, "You are so good at fighting, and if your growth rate is faster than mine, why should you let other dragons live? I can't let you take advantage of good things, right?"
Red Iron Dragon nodded and said slowly, "It's all sweat in exchange for oaths. It's not worth mentioning."
Seroel was speechless for a moment and rolled his eyes.
"Sweat? It sounds like I haven't worked hard."
After shaking her head, she snuggled up to Shi again and changed into a comfortable position. This time she leaned directly on his front legs, her head resting on his paws, and looked at the continuous Mountain Range in the distance.
"To be honest," she suddenly said, "You are indeed the dragon I like."
Garos looked down at her and asked, "What should I say?"
"You just broke through Crown Rank, right?"
"Yes."
"That's level 30." Seroel said, "By the way, this level for you should be comparable to Dragon of Destiny."
She continued, "I know that when you were Advanced Legendary Realm, you were as good as Crown Rank. It can even be said that you were able to sweep Crown Rank and Southeastern Regions. So many Legendary Realm besieged you, but in the end Bingjun'er was gone."
Seroel raised his head and looked into his eyes.
"There is a big gap from the Advanced Legendary Realm to Crown Rank. This is the gap in life levels."
"From Crown Rank to Destiny Rank, a lot of accumulated seats are required, and the difficulty of leapfrog battles is very high, but what about you? When Advanced Legendary Realm fights Crown Rank, Crown Rank is comparable to Destiny Rank. It can always maintain this combat power that spans a large level - it sounds like it has not changed, but in fact it is ridiculously better than the previous one."
She reached out her hand and poked his scales.
"I'm not sure. Waiting for you Destiny Rank, you can directly challenge those people."
She put down her hands and leaned against the dragon scale.
"Perverted, very perverted, very perverted. I can immediately describe you like this."
Garos was not angry and said with a smile, "Then I will take your perverted description as a compliment."
"Of course it's my husband."
Seroel put the yexin between the dragon scales, took a deep breath, and said dullly, "The dragon I picked is of course the most powerful, so why should I fall for you?"
After saying that, she raised her head again.
As if he thought of something, Seroel's smile faded and his expression became serious.
"By the way, Garos, I have something to tell you."
"What?"
Seroel said, "You are being targeted, and someone will take action against you."
Garos looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
Seroel considered his words and said slowly, "You know, I like to travel in the dreams of the same people. When those intelligent creatures sleep, their dreams are like Small World. I can go in and see what they are thinking."
"It's fun and useful."
Garos nodded.
He knew that Seroel had this ability, and he had also heard her tell many stories about the stories he saw in her dreams. Some were very interesting, some were sad, and some were full of absurd imagination.
The key is that she can get realistic information from dreams.
"While you were in deep sleep."
Seroel said, "I often travel to different dreams, especially those related to you."
Garos asked, "Dreams related to me? What are they like?"
"Everyone receives his own."
Seroel said, "Some people dream that you are the savior, helping Atlant defeat Demon and saving the entire continent. You are the embodiment of justice; some dream Some people dream that you are a tyrant, destroying their homes and burning their cities, which is a symbol of evil; some people dream that you are a mythical existence, high and touchable, just like the legendary Deity."
"Everyone's dream is the same, but it all reflects their inner view of you."
"The image you have in their minds is sometimes even imagined by you."
Garos listened quietly.
"Among these dreamers, there is one who is special."
Seroel's voice paused slightly, and then continued, "He is a human Crown Rank, level 34."
Thirty-four?
Garos's self-light shimmers slightly.
It is quite a high level, one step away from Destiny Rank. It can even be said that it has reached the threshold of Destiny Rank. Crown of Three Aspects Varta is this level.
"Do you know who this person is?"
"Of course." Seroel said, "I can get a lot of information from dreams. His name is Reinhart."
Reinhart----
Hearing this, Red Iron Dragon narrowed his eyes slightly.
He knows this person.
That was many years ago.
The former Reinhart was known as Light of the West. He was full of energy and high-spirited. He stepped into the Legendary Realm when he was young. He later swore that under the conspiracy of Iron Dragon Sorog, he lost to his minions, was seriously injured and was on the verge of death, and fell from the altar into a quagmire.
Since then, Reinhart has disappeared.
Western Kingdom Wang reported that he is not dead yet, but basically there is no news about him.
Unexpectedly, I would hear this name from Seroel again today.
"What did he dream about?"
Garos asked.
Seroel said, "I have been observing this person for a while."
"In his dream, he dreamed about you repeatedly. At first, he dreamed about you in a very terrifying way. In his dream, you were a giant beast representing destruction, with blood-colored flames burning all over your body. Your eyes were like two suns. Every time you appeared, you would be sworn to destroy."
"He avoids you from afar and dares not come close. Every time he sees you, he turns around and runs away until he is exhausted and wakes up from his dream."
"His dreams were filled with fear and anxiety, and the fear was almost solidified."
"But recently, his dream has changed."
Seroel's voice became more serious.
"He starts to face you directly. He no longer runs away or hides, but stands there and looks at you."
"Although his body is still trembling and the fear of you still remains in the dream, he ran away. The most recent dream I saw, he even drew his sword towards you.
Garos smiled lowly, his voice was like thunder.
"It seems that I left a strong shadow on him. However, if I hadn't heard this name again, I would have almost forgotten that this person existed."
Seroel said, "Those who can face their fears in dreams are easy."
"When most people encounter something scary in their dreams, their first reaction is to run away, driven by fear."
"It was instinctive, but he overcame it."
"This Reinhart, I heard his name when I was Rotalan Continent. He appears in various places, and he is also in dangerous places. It seems that he deliberately approaches danger, and he swears to live every time. He is the little-known little character who lives in obscurity."
"There is a reason why he can face you in his dream. He can be treated like an ordinary human being Crown Rank."
Garos nodded, thoughtfully.
"Any more?"
he asked.
"Yes." Seroel said, "I suspect he is about to break through Destiny Rank."
Garos's eyes became deeper and deeper.
"Changes in dreams are often synchronized with reality."
Seroel explained, "This is a conclusion I have drawn from observations in countless dreams. When a person can overcome fear in a dream, he will often have a breakthrough in reality."
"If he can face you and draw his sword towards you in the dream, it means that he is overcoming his fear of you."
"And through my observation of him, I discovered that what stands between him and the Destiny Rank level is his fear."
"That fear is you."
She looked at Garos and said, "This person, Life Level, can be said to be 34.9999... in the true sense, infinitely close to Destiny Rank. If he can overcome his fear of you, he will probably be able to cross that threshold and step into Destiny Rank."
Garos was silent for a moment.
Then, he slowly said, "I understand."
"If you think about it carefully, I may still have some arrogance and conceitedness hidden in my bones at that time. I didn't want to delve into whether this person was dead or alive, so I gave him a chance to grow."
Back then, when he became Red Emperor, he appeared on the mainland stage, and it was also a time when he was in high spirits.
A human genius? I swore to him that it was just a small episode, and it would be over after it was over, but this had left a hidden danger for himself, and it was a hidden danger that should have been solved in advance.
"Garos, this kind of mistake will never be made again in the future."
He whispered in his heart and said to himself.
Even if the real Destiny Rank exists, the current Garos can't be said to have much to fear.
He had just stepped into Crown Rank, and when he was still weak, he was able to sweep through many Crown Ranks including one Quasi-Destiny Rank. Coupled with a trump card like Shining Form, he would still be afraid even if he met the real Destiny Rank.
However, this incident was also a reminder for him.
What if the person who comes is a mortal?
What if the oath is from a powerful being?
Once this thought that made him uneasy emerged, it was difficult to suppress it completely.
Seroel looked at him and said, "Be careful, this person is afraid of you, but also has a deep obsession. You can see it from the dream, and that obsession is almost engraved into the depths of his soul."
"And obsession, this thing, can sometimes turn into incredible power."
"The more paranoid a person or dragon is, the more extreme they can sometimes go."
Garos lowered his head and looked at her.
Her eyes were almost extinguished, and the dragon's faceplate was reflected in her pupils. Then, he raised the dragon's claw, stroked Seroel's hair, and touched her hair.
"It doesn't matter."
Red Iron Dragon said calmly.
"I also need to sharpen my claws and verify my strength at this time. I promise to test the depth with an opponent. If he can become Destiny Rank, that's good. He can be my opponent."
"I also want to see who is stronger and who is weaker compared to the real Destiny Rank now."
