Chapter 1048: Chapter 801: Variegated Dragon?
Arriving at the lakeside, the elves had left tables and chairs behind without packing them away. Suolin sat in one of the chairs, allowing herself to relax for a moment.
Just now, due to her own operational mistake, she had thrown the person suspected to be Long Yi out of the space-time channel. Where exactly he would end up was now a huge problem.
Long Yi had once told Suolin about the Silver Dragon, and now it seemed she herself had caused the separation between Long Yi and the fighter. It was her who tossed the fighter into this lake. Perhaps before long, this lake would be named Silver Dragon Lake.
Now, the only way to check if everything was as usual was to time travel once again, to 8,000 years in the future. If Long Yi was safe and sound, then she would have truly succeeded!
For now, Suolin could only wait. There were two ways to return to the space-time laboratory: the first was to wait for the giant scientists from the space-time laboratory to find her through space-time retrieval. The second was to wait for time itself.
In order to prevent space-time transmission failure, Suolin had been subjected to an extremely startling magic, which would activate after she performed space-time transmission. The sole purpose of this magic was to send Suolin back to the space-time laboratory.
However, there was a big problem – the magic required charging, and the scale of energy needed was vast. With Suolin’s current strength, it would take at least three months to fully charge the magic.
Suolin had three months, but she couldn’t wait that long.
"Has the war between the Giants and the Dragon Clan finished now?" Suolin asked.
"Yes, the war has completely ended," the Water Spirit said as she danced.
"Who won?"
"It appears the Dragon Clan won; the Giants have left," the Water Spirit said, continuing her dance.
"But why do you look so indifferent? I thought you were firmly on the side of the Giants," Suolin questioned, recalling Long Yi’s words to her.
"Because the Giants told us not to care too much about winning or losing. Sometimes winning doesn’t really mean you’ve won, and losing doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve lost," the Water Spirit explained.
"Alright, actually I have another small problem and I hope you can help me."
"As long as we know how."
"I need a large amount of energy to undertake my next time-space journey; do you know how I can get such a scale of energy in a short time?"
Suolin showed the Water Spirit an astonishingly high level of energy required, which even surprised the Water Spirit.
"Such a terrifying level of energy, to my knowledge, can only be generated by the Giants’ Power Core. If you walk in that direction for 1,700 kilometers, there’s an Outpost left behind by the Giants, with a small Power Core. With this core, you should be able to charge in half a day. But be careful, the Dragon Clan is always looking for any traces related to the Giants, and they will ruthlessly destroy any buildings and devices of the Giants."
Suolin thanked the Water Spirit for her help and started rushing toward the designated area. She flew swiftly through the treetops, her portable devices making sure she wouldn’t lose her way. Along the route, she encountered several members of the Dragon Clan, mostly Black Dragons, who were all searching for something. Suolin used her invisibility to avoid detection, not knowing whether the Dragon Clan had been cursed, and thinking it best to avoid unnecessary trouble.
About two hours later, a series of buildings gradually came into view, and at the end of them was a small Outpost.
Suolin approached quickly; these outposts required a Giant’s identity to enter. Fortunately, the Giants had previously given her a legitimate Giant’s identity, so the doors of these outposts were open to her.
Inside, Suolin finally found the core. The Power Core was small, but it was locked onto the device. Suolin severed an energy conduit and redirected the energy into herself. Instantaneously, the magic began to charge rapidly.
Hopefully those of the Dragon Clan wouldn’t find this place too soon.
Suolin prayed as such, herself a native Dragon Clan member of the Human Realm. She could say that she was born because of the Giants creating the Human Realm. She held no affection for these Pureblood Dragons, especially after experiencing so much in the Black Dragon Empire, Suolin harbored intense hatred toward the Black Dragon.
Yet, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to come.
Not long afterward, the sound of dragon roars and surges of magic waves came from afar. Suolin hurriedly went out to take a look, only to see two Black Dragons flying in from the distance. Powerful magics and Fighting Auras bombarded the ground in turns, trying to obliterate any trace left by the Giants.
The Dragon Clan at this time hadn’t been cursed yet? But judging by the scale of those magics and Fighting Auras, these Dragons were definitely still restricted by the rules left by the Giants in the Human Realm, nowhere near as powerful as one would hope.
Don’t come here! Don’t come here!
Suolin sincerely did not want this group of Dragons to cause trouble, although she was not afraid of them. But what if these buildings were destroyed - where would she find a suitable energy source then?
But prayers didn’t reflect their value; the two Black Dragons continued to destroy while flying in her direction. Realizing she couldn’t continue, Suolin sighed, disconnected the energy conduit, and let out a low cry, transforming into a Flying Dragon as she soared into the sky.
A Golden Dragon?
Suolin’s arrival startled the two Black Dragons. In the Dragon Clan hierarchy, Golden Dragons were royals, a highly revered existence. They were supposed to be commanding from afar – what were they doing suddenly appearing in the Human Realm?
Only when they got closer did the two Black Dragons realize that Suolin’s color was slightly darker.
"Hey, which troop are you from? Did you get lost? Want a Black big brother to take you home?" one Black Dragon laughed out loud. Clearly, in their eyes, even the dragon-shaped Suolin was extremely attractive.
"Fine, let’s go then."
Suolin said, flying over to them, trying to get them to also turn around and leave.
"Wait up, little sister. Let our brothers destroy everything here first!" a Black Dragon said.
"Why are you doing this? What’s the point?" Suolin asked.
"That’s the thing, you female dragons are just too soft-hearted! Destroying everything of the enemy’s is fun, it’s thrilling! What’s the need for a reason? Hahaha!" Another Black Dragon said.
"No, I won’t let you do this!" Suolin stood in their way.
"Off, off, go to the side. We didn’t see any of you motley-colored dragons come to help during the war with the Giants, and now when we brothers are looking for some fun, you wanna meddle? Don’t think we’ll go easy on you just because you’re a girl! If we get annoyed, believe it or not, we’ll eat you!"
The Black Dragon brothers threatened while laughing boisterously, bypassing Suolin and heading straight for the outpost.
"Alright, you asked for this!"
Suolin let out a roar and suddenly accelerated, charging directly at the two Black Dragons. Hearing the sound of the wind behind them, both Black Dragons turned their heads, only to see Suolin pouncing at them. They weren’t angry, instead, they laughed heartily and pounced back at her.
"Little sister, don’t charge so recklessly, you might hurt yourself!"
However, in the next moment, two Dragon Wing Slashes chopped off half of each Black Dragon’s wings!
"It’s you who should be careful, idiots."
The two Black Dragons crashed to the ground, lying there and bellowing, "What are you doing! How dare you attack us!"
Clearly at this moment, the two Black Dragons still hadn’t realized what they had done to offend her.
"I told you to leave this place and stop destroying the buildings. You didn’t listen," Suolin, having landed, said, looking at the Black Dragons with their wings mutilated.
"So you attacked us for that? You crazy dragon! You will be punished!" one of the Black Dragons roared.
"No, I won’t be punished, but you two are as good as dead!" Suolin said as she was about to launch another attack.
"Don’t even dream about it!" The Black Dragons burst out with tremendous Mana and instantly teleported through space, vanishing without a trace.
This time, Suolin was the one taken by surprise, but she quickly returned to human form and shook her head in resignation. All her experience with the Dragon Clan came from battles in the Human Realm, and back then, the Dragon Clan didn’t possess such abilities.
"The villain dies from talking too much," Suolin said mockingly to herself as she hurried back to the Outpost to maximize the time for absorbing energy.
Yet the two Black Dragons hadn’t gone far and were actually hiding nearby. A powerful magic quickly completely restored their wings and elevated their condition to perfection.
"That mad dragon, I will butcher her!" one of the Black Dragons said angrily.
"Just now she ambushed us; otherwise, she would never have succeeded so easily. However, that girl is strong indeed. The power of that Dragon Wing Slash seemed even more formidable than our leader’s!" the other Black Dragon said.
"No matter how strong she is, she’s just a motley-colored dragon! As Purebloods, should we fear her? If we can’t beat her, then just honestly use long-range magic to support, and I will handle her myself!" the first Black Dragon roared.
"I never said I feared her! We brothers are veteran campaigners across the Planes, what do I have to fear!" the other Black Dragon murmured.
"Let’s go! Let’s pay her another visit! I want to see what that mad dragon really wants to do, being so protective of that place!"
The two Black Dragons took to the sky again, their bodies wrapped in swirling Runes, clearly ready for battle.
Suolin, who had just absorbed some energy, suddenly felt the Black Dragons’ presence again, which made her somewhat helpless.
Transforming back into dragon form and taking to the sky to face the two Black Dragons, Suolin couldn’t help but roll her eyes at them, "Carrying on like this, you’re going to end up without any girls in the future, you know."
The Black Dragons immediately burst into laughter, "But haven’t you come right to us?"
Suolin smiled as well, "With you two weaklings?"
The Dragon Clan, especially the Black Dragons, cannot stand being laughed at for being weak – it’s enough to drive them insane!
"Weak or not, come and find out!"
The two Black Dragons attacked from two different directions simultaneously, but Suolin immediately ascended and, with a swift turn, unleashed a Dragon Wing Slash with each wing. The Black Dragons, who had never seen such a battle technique, were almost scared out of their wits. In their minds, shouldn’t one run away immediately when caught between enemy attacks? How did she manage to counterattack so quickly?
