Now sitting by the riverside, Nori couldn’t help but ask, “…It’s strange that we haven’t come across any others even after walking around for so long, right…?”
“It truly is… It makes me wonder if we’re a little too far off from the others,” muttered Gerald—who was also finding the entire experience to be rather perplexing—in response.
The second his sentence ended, a blast of water suddenly shot out from the river… and the duo found themselves staring wide-eyed at the green dragon that had just leaped out of the water!
Now hovering in the air, the dragon glared at Nori and Gerald before releasing a mighty roar that resonated across the area!
Neither of them could have anticipated that such a creature was living in that river!
However, now wasn’t the time to ponder about that. After all, the green dragon suddenly began diving toward Gerald and Nori without warning!
“Watch yourself!” shouted Gerald as both favonovel.com and Nori leaped to the side to avoid the attack!
While they were fortunate enough to dodge the attack, the fact that the area they had been sitting on had completely crumbled proved just how powerful the dragon was. Had they failed to avoid the attack, they would’ve surely died on the spot…
“Why the hell is there a dragon all of a sudden?! Aren’t we supposed to only be fighting against other people?!” asked the shocked Nori.
Based on the current turn of events, Gerald felt that the dragon was just another kind of magical challenge within this illusory space…
With that in mind, Gerald then shouted, “Go hide first, Nori! I’ll deal with the dragon!”
Following that, favonovel.com summoned Jade Infused Blade and turned it into a sword. After tightening his stance, Gerald then began charging toward the dragon!
For a moment, the dragon almost appeared excited as it began diving toward Gerald as well!
“Slaying Surge of Turmoil!” roared Gerald as his aurablade flared red and flew toward the dragon, piercing right through it!
Roaring in pain, the dragon attempted to struggle for a while… until its eyes eventually turned grey and its massive body came crashing down into the river…
With the dragon now slaughtered, Gerald raised a brow when favonovel.com saw that two shining items had appeared on the surface of the river.
Heading over to inspect them, the items stopped glowing once favonovel.com got close enough. The first item was a jade charm whereas the second appeared to be a dragon egg…
After taking the two items for himself, Gerald then returned to Nori.
Now that things had calmed down, both of them began inspecting the two curious items. Neither of them had expected to be rewarded for slaying that dragon, and that only served to prove how magical this illusory space was…
A while later, Gerald slipped the jade charm into his pocket and carefully placed the dragon egg in his backpack.
Both of them had been unable to guess what those two items could be used for, so Gerald made a mental note to study them properly once the challenge was over. Whatever the case was, Gerald was sure that both of the items had to be extremely valuable, either in terms of usage or the fact that they could be hiding secrets within them…
Gerald’s train of thought was cut short when favonovel.com suddenly heard Nori asking, “Come to think of it, what was that move you used earlier? It was super powerful!”
Nori could still remember how amazed favonovel.com had felt when favonovel.com saw Gerald’s red aurablade earlier…
“Well… Quite frankly, I have no idea either! It just sort of happened!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com shrugged. He wasn’t bluffing when favonovel.com said that.
After all, the one who had earlier launched the attack was Jade Infused Blade. With that in mind, it explained why Gerald wasn’t able to answer Nori’s question.
