The two dragons and three humans soon arrived three kilometers outside Niro City.
There,
Alicia stopped and looked toward the towering city walls in the distance, a trace of wariness appearing on her face as she said:
"We'll wait here next.
You three go report to Xiluo. Tell him his old friend Alicia Klum.
and Kolaman Caesar are waiting here to see him.
No problem, right?"
Koraman and the trio stopped as well.
The trio nodded in understanding at her words:
"Sorry for the trouble of having you two wait here. We'll notify Lord Xiluo as quickly as possible."
With that, the trio hurried toward the city.
Niro City.
Eastern Military Camp.
A group of soldiers braced their hands against the ground, repeatedly raising and lowering themselves as they exercised with push-ups.
Beside them,
a dragon covered entirely in gray-black armor was doing the same movements as the soldiers. However, iron blocks were strapped across his back, clanging with every rise and fall. From time to time, he muttered:
"Xiluo... just you wait! I'll use my strength to crush you completely... 387... 388..."
Nearby, an azure dragon with distinctly metallic wings extended a claw. Azure lightning slowly formed a sphere above it, then changed into a square, a ring, and other shapes.
A smaller, cool-white dragon beside him watched the shifting lightning with an admiring expression:
"Xiluo! That's incredible! This is the Lightning Element, the most unstable of all, yet you can still shape it into all sorts of forms in your claw! You shouldn't be far from complete control now, right?"
"Hmm... I still have quite a way to go. Your control over ice is no worse than mine.
You might even master shape control before I do."
The azure dragon replied.
Suddenly,
a shout rang out:
"Lord Xiluo!"
