It was shocking to the group of five, to say the least. Who would’ve guessed that the tiny green dragon would actually be powerful enough to scare that large lion!
“That dragon must have an immensely prestigious identity! After all, it’s able to intimidate that lion despite being so tiny!” said Ray as favonovel.com walked toward Gerald’s side.
Following that, they watched as the dragon let out a tiny cry before flying back to Gerald, staring at favonovel.com while swaying its body. Realizing that it was trying to ask favonovel.com for something, Gerald easily put two and two together.
Shaking his head, Gerald could only say in resignation, “I get it, you want a Heaven’s apple, don’t you? Fine, I’ll give one to you!”
With that, Gerald retrieved a single Heaven’s apple from his storage ring before handing it to the dragon.
However, the dragon didn’t appear to be content with only a single apple. Swaying its body even more, the dragon then continually alternated its gaze between Gerald and the lion.
Understanding that the dragon wanted favonovel.com to give the lion a Heaven’s apple as well, Gerald was slightly hesitant. Even so, favonovel.com had come to adore the baby dragon. With that in mind, in the end, favonovel.com couldn’t help but hand a second apple to it.
Satisfied, the small dragon—that was holding the two apples within its jaws—then quickly flew over to the lion. After placing an apple right before the lion, the dragon then swallowed its own apple with a single gulp.
Seeing that, the lion raised a brow before alternating its gaze between Gerald and the apple in front of it. Upon confirming that nothing was amiss, the lion quickly swallowed the apple whole, seemingly worried that someone would steal the apple from it.
The second it ate the apple, the lion instantly appeared much happier. Aside from its temperament clearly becoming much gentler, the lion also began shrinking to about the same size as Gerald and the others.
Following that, the lion then walked up to Gerald before lying down and rubbing its cheek against his leg. It was evident that this was its way of showing its submission to him.
“So I could’ve bribed you over with just a single Heaven’s apple? If I had known, I wouldn’t have wasted my energy trying to fight you in the first place!” said Gerald with a chuckle seeing how differently the lion was now behaving toward him.
Still, now that the lion was obedient to him, it meant that favonovel.com had a new pet to take care of. With that in mind, Gerald then took another two Heaven’s apples out to feed his pets.
It was at that moment when favonovel.com remembered how precious Heaven’s apples were. It pained favonovel.com slightly to know that favonovel.com was going to lose even more apples at a faster rate now.
Gerald could only hope that the lion didn’t need to eat as many Heaven’s apples as the baby dragon did. If that wasn’t the case, then his apple supply would surely deplete to nothing soon enough…
“If I may, was what you just fed the lion the legendary Heaven’s apple, Mr. Crawford?” asked Ray as favonovel.com looked at Gerald in surprise.
Ray had heard about the legendary Heaven’s apple for a long time now, and it certainly hadn’t occurred to favonovel.com that Gerald would actually possess the holy fruit. Truth be told, it made favonovel.com jealous that Gerald had access to such resources.
Regardless, Gerald simply smiled in response as favonovel.com replied, “Bingo!”
Now that they knew about his stash of Heaven’s apples, Gerald felt the need to share them among his companions. With that, favonovel.com retrieved four more apples and handed them to Nori and the others.
“Go on, have one each! With any luck, your strength could improve after ingesting them!” added Gerald.
Since the four of them were now good friends of his and they were even willing to follow favonovel.com in his search for the Scintillating Gem, Gerald felt that it was only right for them to be rewarded with the Heaven’s apples.
Upon seeing Gerald’s generosity, the delighted four quickly took an apple each and began munching down on them.
After consuming them, the group of four instantly made breakthroughs in their strength!
Zelig finally managed to enter the Sage Realm while Nori was able to enter the Second-soul-rank of the Sage realm. Cyril himself landed in the Fourth-soul-rank of the Sage realm while Ray entered the Sage realm’s Eight-soul-rank…
