Just as Jona Velli was complaining every now and then, a knock came from the door.
Jona Velli didn't even look back, because she already sensed who it was.
"What is it?"
Medusa's slightly cold voice came through.
"Great Master, Little Shunzi and the others have discovered a suspicious cave. There are many monsters seemingly guarding its surroundings."
Jona Velli frowned and placed the gear in her hand on the ground.
"Since when do such trivial matters need to be reported to me?"
Medusa's attitude was respectful.
"In reply to Master, Little Shunzi also said that he sensed strong fluctuations of magic power, as well as intense fluctuations of lightning, fire, and ice elements. There is something very strange inside the cave."
Hearing Medusa's words, Jona Velli became interested.
"Could it be a Rule Manifestation Zone?"
One must know that to break through to Legendary, the absolute first step is to comprehend the Rules.
Once one successfully comprehends the Rules and breaks through to Legendary, the essence and level of their life will be elevated, and the lifespan of any species will increase.
To better comprehend the Rules, one needs to find a Rule Manifestation Zone, which can greatly increase the probability of comprehension.
However, this situation doesn't quite apply to dragons, or rather, the top tier of mythical creatures are all somewhat different.
Once a dragon reaches adulthood, it directly advances to Legendary. As time passes, its strength will also increase; it's all a matter of course.
However, strength will not increase indefinitely. The watershed is at the Great Wyrm stage. If one doesn't make it through, well, okay, go die; the Evil Dragon God Kingdom welcomes you.
But if one does make it through, then fine, you're awesome kid. Whether it's strength, status, or life level, everything increases by an order of magnitude.
According to the records of the Dragon Bloodline Inheritance, very few dragons have successfully broken through to the Ancient Dragon stage. Among them, there was one, and only one, who was an existence of absolute Authority, absolute power, and absolute evil.
He did it. He successfully became that one and only most powerful Great Wyrm. All evil dragons praise his name. Even Tiamat is too inferior compared to him.
His title is the Destroyer of Worlds, the World-Ending Dragon, the Devourer of the World Tree, the Poison Abyss Dragon Emperor—Nidhogg!
He is an existence that makes the world tremble, and even the gods are wary of him.
Although the last record of his appearance was at the Demigod realm, everyone knows he has long mastered Authority and is a crownless god in all but name.
Yet no one knows why such a terrifying existence has delayed igniting the divine fire, stepping onto the divine path, and becoming a deity above the high heavens.
This is a question no one can answer. Even if the wisest sages in the world gathered together, they could not reach a conclusion.
Hearing no reply for a long time, Medusa asked hesitantly.
"Master?"
Medusa's words pulled Jona Velli's thoughts back from wherever they had wandered.
"Ahem, I understand. Where is the location?"
Hearing Jona Velli's words, Medusa hadn't expected her master to actually be interested.
"In reply to Master, I will take you there right now."
Just as Jona Velli walked out of the room, she happened to run into Friel, who was also preparing to go out.
Jona Velli nodded friendly as a greeting.
Friel responded in kind and then prepared to walk away.
Jona Velli's eyes flickered; she almost forgot Friel's other identity—Gold Medal Thug.
Jona Velli hurried to call out to Friel, who was about to leave, and conveniently grabbed her large tail.
"Wait a moment."
Friel's whole body shuddered, and her raised dragon claw suddenly froze.
Feeling the force on her tail, Friel turned her head angrily and glared at Jona Velli, wondering what on earth this girl was up to now.
Jona Velli realized her rudeness and hurriedly let go, giving an embarrassed smile, but then she put on a friendly grin.
"My dear Friel, are you interested in accompanying me to explore a marvelous cave?"
Friel rolled her eyes at Jona Velli, with a look that said 'I don't believe you for a second, you're definitely up to no good,' and rejected her proposal.
"Not interested."
"Oh? Really? What if I say..."
Jona Velli slightly curled her dragon mouth.
"...there are gold coins inside?"
