• Abel spotted a merchant caravan and charged it despite his companions’ warnings and Xiluo’s instructions to keep a low profile.
• Abel and the Dragonbeasts routed the Bloodthorn Rose Adventurer Group, killed the caravan’s people, and collected goods worth about twelve hundred gold coins.

Abel, Koraman, and Alicia led raids and extorted people during their missions, prompting complaints from the Ulaluo Kingdom. When Xiluo returned to Niro City, he confronted the kingdom’s envoy and nobles, whose accusations nearly provoked a fight.

• When a noble demanded to confront Abel, Xiluo struck him with a Psionic Shock and ordered the delegation out of Gerlo.

• Xiluo flew to the Animal Pen, where Abel complained about his rough landing before recognizing him and offering him the organs of Hill Giants he had hunted.

Xiluo punished the Blue Dragon Wyrmling for disobeying orders by trapping him in an illusion of impotence and endless poverty, then warned him not to do it again. Afterward, the wyrmling asked for a Blue Dragon awakening method, and No. 4 offered the Giant Blue Dragon and Thunderclap Dragon as options.

• No. 4 offered the Giant Blue Dragon and Thunderclap Dragon, and Xiluo recalled their traits as mutated dragon species.

Xiluo bought the Giant Blue Dragon and Thunderclap Dragon awakening methods, then punished Koraman and Alicia with illusions for raiding merchant ships against his orders. After collecting and eating the Giants’ organs gathered by his dragons, Xiluo’s stats rose again, while Nina Bru remained away in the Molten Fire Mountains.

Back at his outpost, he accepted Lawrence Moyuan’s offer to join forces against the Scorpion Devil Baz and prepared to attack immediately.

• Xiluo’s growth increased his size and strength, and his new Thundercloud Transformation Incarnation let him fly at up to 1,200 kilometers per hour.
