Drake hadn’t taken a step out of the Dragon Palace since the last time he ran back due to the fact that he was almost caught. He wanted things to settle down and also for the search for the dragon to reduce so they would think of it as maybe they misheard—or it was a treasure.
Well, things weren’t as boring as he was getting accustomed to this world, but there was still the longing for television and phones—especially phones. All he did was wake up and train himself in the Dragon Tower.
Yes, the Dragon Tower. When he entered the first time, he was shocked by the fact that the tower gives EXP whenever he killed the dragon at each level, but if he had battled with the dragon before or crossed the level before, going through it again wouldn’t give him EXP.
But with the EXP gained, Drake had leveled up quite a bit and also his combat strength had increased. Drax also helped him with his skill control and combat techniques, also helping him relieve his boredom.
As for his body, still the same size as before, just a growth of an inch, which made him helpless toward this body.
Bloodline: Devouring Dragon Bloodline (Awakened)
Affinity: Death, Devour
Skills: Devour, Dragon Breath, Phantom Step, Dragonoid Summoning, Death Crescent Slash...
Inventory: Death Reaper
He hadn’t even bothered checking the shop of the system when he saw that the least price was 100,000 DP. Looking at his meager amount of DP, he sighed.
As for the matter of hunger, due to the fact that he now had access to Originat, he could make his stomach satisfied. As for cravings for real food, his body was screaming for it.
"It’s time to check on things and see how the outside world is," Drake said.
Drax appeared beside him. "I know you have a lot of burden to bear. At your age, children are still in their parents’ care, but as the last dragon, this is your fate. At this young age, you are meant to have stepped on hills of bones, your hands soaked in the blood of your enemies," Drax said chillingly, making Drake shiver.
"Alright, man. I get it, I get it," Drake sighed.
He moved out of the cave into the water as he swam toward the surface cautiously. He peeped his head out slowly, surveying the surroundings. When he saw everything was okay, he flew out of the water, gently touching the ground.
His clothes were made from his Devouring Dragon power—one could say that they were his scales—so there was no way they would get wet.
As Drake took a step forward—
An unknown beast burst out from the grasses that surrounded Drake, aiming to kill him with killing intent gushing out from its eyes.
"I have been expecting you to make a move," Drake chuckled.
"Death Crescent Slash."
At the next moment, the head of the beast that attacked was split, its eyes full of terror and fear. It never expected it would lose its life at the hands of a child.
Drake’s figure had reappeared behind the beast, holding one of the Death Reapers, which was soaked in blood.
[Host has killed a Level 23 Night Leopard. You have gained 65 EXP and 35 DP.]X15
Drake swung the Death Reaper, clearing off the blood as he put it back in his inventory. He turned back, taking a look at the Night Leopard. It looked similar to the leopard of Earth, but this one was bulkier and larger. Also, its fang was longer, and it reeked of killing intent.
Drake pointed his hands toward the Night Leopard’s corpse. A dark vortex appeared, swallowing the corpse. This was the Devouring Void Stomach. Drake had kept the corpse there. It’s not that the system doesn’t have its own space, but it’s useless as it was limited to one meter.
After storing the beast, he continued his journey of killing, even though moving cautiously.
He had killed numerous beasts within a few hours, even though they didn’t require much strength. After a discussion with Drax, he now realized that he was in the outer zone of the forest.
With determination, he moved forward, heading to the inner region of the forest. He hadn’t even moved far when he started hearing sounds of battle, and from the looks of it, it was between beasts.
He treaded carefully toward the place of battle. Maybe he would be able to harvest something from the battle of both beasts, because he could see that the aura from there was intense.
He devoured his aura, concealing his figure with the Phantom Steps. When he got there, he was surprised and astonished by what he saw.
What he saw at first was a giant white hopper rabbit—it was gigantic. But this rabbit had a horn, which was surprising to him, and it was flickering with thunder.
Level: Mid Stage of Origin King Realm (Level 45) [Weakened]
This was what Drake saw when he used his Appraisal Skill. He moved to look at the beast the rabbit was fighting. He saw a big brown tiger with purple stripes. Thunder and lightning were streaking out of its body.
Level: Early Stage of Origin King Realm (Level 40)
When Drake laid his eyes on both beasts, he was surprised by their level and also their races—especially the rabbit. It was called Thunder Hopper.
The rabbit’s legs were flickering with thunder. In the next moment, it had disappeared, appearing in front of the tiger with its hind leg striking toward the tiger.
The tiger roared as it struck with its claw toward the rabbit. The rabbit was sent flying.
"If it had been your peak, I might have been afraid. But since you are pregnant, then you are just a weakling now!" the tiger roared.
