*Swish!*
He swung the magic greatsword at the man's chest.
*Crack—Sss!*
The scales on his chest were easily sliced open, and blood sprayed from the wound.
The intense pain caused the dragonkin Ladon to let out an involuntary grunt, even while unconscious.
Looking at the wound from which blood flowed continuously, Tang Zheng expertly took out two Regeneration Potions. He stuffed one into the man's mouth and inserted the other into the gaping wound on his chest.
The dragonkin Ladon's physique was already powerful; even a gash across his chest wasn't life-threatening. The Regeneration Potion was mainly to prevent excessive blood loss.
Looking into the opened chest, he saw a heart covered in a silver, spiderweb-like pattern, its surface flowing with magical symbols like molten gold.
Tang Zheng's face was expressionless as he extended a hand into the man's chest and gently grasped the heart.
"Hnngh—"
The dragonkin Ladon's body twitched uncontrollably a few times.
"Time, one minute. Commencing the twelfth experiment."
Tang Zheng pressed the pocket watch hanging from his wrist. His other hand carefully held the peculiar, still-beating heart.
He injected a trace of magic power.
*Thump.*
The heart beat powerfully once.
"Relying solely on magic power for activation has no effect. I also feel an extremely strong energy repelling the magic power."
"Since it's repelling..."
He had already confirmed this result after several consecutive tests. Today, he planned to try a new method. He reached into the void with his other hand.
A Blend Potion appeared in his hand. He uncorked the bottle with one hand.
Tang Zheng raised the potion, preparing to pour it into his own mouth, but stopped the next moment. After some thought, he poured the Blend Potion into the dragonkin Ladon's mouth.
He injected magic power again!
The [Heart of the True Dragon Lord] suddenly released a surge of power.
*Voom—*
A faint golden light enveloped both Tang Zheng and the dragonkin Ladon.
Tang Zheng's pupils shrank abruptly.
"ROAR!"
The colossal figure of the golden dragon appeared once more, letting out a terrifying roar on the spot, while Tang Zheng vanished completely.
Abelion Hills.
Enri rode atop an Evil Spirit Hound, galloping across the desolate wilderness.
During this time, following Gagaran and the Beast General, Hector Weiss, to clean up the remaining undead in the Hills had taught her a great deal.
"Xiao Hei, I heard from the demi-human report that someone is looking for the Captain. I wonder who it is."
Enri was half-lying on the Evil Spirit Hound's back, one hand gripping the bone chain tightly, the other lightly resting on the hound's neck as she muttered under her breath.
"I haven't seen the Captain in a long time either. I wonder what he's busy with."
"It must be a new potion. The Captain loves to research potions."
"Woof," the Evil Spirit Hound let out a soft bark in response.
The black figure ran through the desolate Hills and arrived at the outskirts. Soon, Enri saw several humans in a standoff with a demi-human squad.
Clementine, wearing a black cloak, stood with her arms crossed, looking bored. She swept her gaze over the few demi-humans staring intently at them a short distance away, a dangerous light glinting in the depths of her eyes.
"What are they plotting?"
"Such an irritatingly uncertain situation."
A flash of annoyance crossed Clementine's face. She had long been prepared to defect completely at a moment's notice.
But the mysterious red-robed mage who had killed the Alliance Leader had made no move, which was not necessarily a good thing.
The man held information about her collusion with Zuranon. The fact that he wasn't using it now meant he was likely plotting something dangerous.
"Lady Clementine, our purpose this time is to 'invite.' Please maintain your composure until we know the final outcome."
A tall, silver-haired, middle-aged man wearing the black uniform and silver short cape of a Sunlight Scripture captain spoke gently in a low voice.
This person was the new captain of the Sunlight Scripture, Ian, a man with the strength of a commander.
He had long heard that Clementine had a problematic personality, and this was, after all, his first task since becoming captain.
"Hah, you're just as long-winded as Nigun was," Clementine's purple pupils flashed with a dangerous glint, her tone full of impatience.
Captain Ian gave a wry smile.
*Thump!*
*Thump—*
The sound of rapid running approached them.
Enri, riding the Evil Spirit Hound, arrived from a distance. After a brief exchange with the demi-human squad, she easily made her way before Clementine and the others.
"Is that Clementine?"
Enri recognized the familiar face of Clementine at first glance. She had a deep impression of this woman who had clashed with the Captain.
She deftly dismounted from the Evil Spirit Hound.
Enri tucked her chestnut-brown hair behind her ear, revealing faint, clear muscle lines on her arm as she strode forward.
"Are you from the Slane Theocracy?" Enri asked, a little uncertain.
"Hello, Enri. I am Ian, Captain of the Sunlight Scripture."
A warm and brilliant smile appeared on Captain Ian's face as he stepped forward to introduce himself, simultaneously sizing up this legendary young woman who had reportedly slain a Soul Eater with a single strike.
Hmm?
She was completely different from the image he had in his mind.
Was it just his imagination?
Captain Ian felt that the Enri before him seemed very weak. Or were the rumors mistaken?
"Ah, I remember the previous captain was Mr. Nigun," Enri said, a little surprised upon hearing the introduction. "Could it be..."
"Captain Nigun was seriously injured and is currently recuperating, so I have taken over as the new captain."
Ian explained simply, as he couldn't very well say the former captain had been dismissed due to a grave error.
"Oh, I see." Enri felt a bit embarrassed. Due to her haste and the hot weather, sweat dripped from her cheeks down to her collarbone. "I'm not sure of our captain's whereabouts at the moment, either."
"Lord Tang isn't in the Hills?" Captain Ian was taken aback.
If Leader Tang wasn't in the Hills, things would become troublesome. They probably wouldn't be able to complete their task anytime soon.
"No, that's not it. Our captain loves to research all sorts of potions, and the Hills are so vast, so finding him right away is a bit difficult," Enri explained.
"We have an important matter and wish to see Lord Tang," Captain Ian said with a relieved smile and a soft voice.
"In that case, I'll take you to Miss Cuiye first, then we can figure out a way to notify the Captain," Enri said, becoming serious upon hearing there was an important matter.
Clementine stood silently to the side, observing Enri, and finally, she curled her lip.
