"I'm not kidding you, I only came in out of curiosity. I didn't even know there was a dragon sealed here..."
Zero shrugged, indicating his helplessness about the matter.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Looking into Zero's pure eyes, the demonic dragon suddenly burst into laughter, and its gaze towards Zero changed considerably; it knew he wasn't lying.
"So my guess was right, my seal really was broken on your body!"
"The dragon said, its voice filled with satisfaction."
He had initially thought this human had come with a purpose, but it turned out that this human was not as he had imagined.
This made it feel a sense of closeness, a feeling it disliked, yet it couldn't control its emotions.
"Since you have helped me break the seal, I will not kill you in return. You may leave now."
The dragon's voice was full of majesty, but it was very kind to Zero.
Zero was somewhat surprised by the dragon's sudden change in attitude.
This feeling was like a dragon looking at its junior, and a very doting junior at that. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
"Not bad, Zero. Your move just now scared it and made it wary of you, so it had to tone down its arrogance and befriend you."
The earth spirit within the space spoke slowly.
That's right. Just now, it seemed that Zero easily dodged the dragon's attack, but in reality, at the moment the attack came, Zero instantly entered the space and then instantly came out, creating the illusion that the attack hit but did no real damage, making the dragon think that its attack was blocked by Zero.
In fact, the dragon had no idea that Zero's speed far surpassed its own. It was just that Zero's speed in traversing space was so fast that the dragon couldn't catch it at all, which is why it mistakenly thought that Zero had blocked its attack.
But... what does it mean by breaking the seal?
I only touched the orb of light, could it be...?
Was it that touch that caused the demonic dragon to break free of its seal and break out?
If that's the case, now that the dragon is no longer bound by its seal, it's hard to say whether releasing it will be a blessing or a curse...
"Zero, perhaps you could try making a contract with it."
Just then, Dao Ling, who was usually not very talkative, suddenly spoke up.
"That's right, if we make a contract, we won't have to worry about it harming the world, right?"
Tu Ling echoed this.
However... such a proud and enormous dragon probably wouldn't willingly form a contract with Zero...
"A contract? That's a good idea. But... will the dragon agree to a contract with me? If it doesn't, what should I do?"
After listening to the sword spirit's advice, Zero fell silent. Contract
The agreement is very simple, but it requires consensus from both parties.
The demonic dragon is no ordinary monster; its intelligence is certainly not low. It can definitely imagine what the consequences would be if it formed a contract with him, and it would be impossible for it to agree to form a contract with him.
"If that doesn't work, just kill him!"
Just as Ling was pondering a solution, Xiao Jiu, who was inside the space, suddenly spoke coldly.
Upon hearing this, Zero, Earth Spirit, and Blade Spirit were all speechless.
When Xiao Jiu said these words, it sounded as if he were recounting something very ordinary.
"Don't look at me like that, you three. Did I say something wrong? I'm right. If the dragon won't agree to sign a contract with its master, then kill it. That's all. Are you afraid of it, master?"
Xiao Jiu said this as if it were a trivial matter, nothing at all.
only……
Zero looked up at the demon dragon, but inwardly he smiled bitterly.
He had only used some tricks to dodge the dragon's attack; if he were to actually face it, he probably wouldn't be a match for it.
Putting aside the fact that the demonic dragon has been sealed away for many years and its strength is far less than before, its age is still a factor. It's like someone who has cultivated for two years fighting someone who has cultivated for a thousand years but only has one percent of their strength left; the result is definitely not going to be a 50/50 split.
To be honest, Zero wasn't confident about facing the Demon Dragon!
Therefore, if you want to make a pact with the dragon, you have to outsmart it!
Thinking of this, Zero's gaze toward the demonic dragon suddenly turned fiery.
The dragon, which had given up attacking Zero and was now hovering quietly in mid-air, was staring at Zero with its golden eyes wide open, seemingly wondering why Zero hadn't left yet.
"Little human child, I have promised not to harm you, why haven't you left yet?"
The dragon's voice rang out in mid-air, and its expression returned to normal, showing no trace of the anger it had just displayed.
Upon hearing this, Zero smiled slightly and slowly said:
"There is one more thing I would like to discuss with Lord Demon Dragon."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
The dragon narrowed its eyes, looking at the boy in front of it.
Although the boy's aura was not strong, and could even be described as weak, his calm and confident demeanor surprised it slightly, and it couldn't help but want to hear what Zero was going to say next.
"I don't know how long you've been here, Lord Dragon, but you must be very curious about the outside world."
Zero looked at the demonic dragon and asked.
"What do you mean? What are you trying to say?"
The dragon raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt in its mind. It was indeed very curious about the outside world, but it didn't want to know what this human boy was up to.
"What I want to say is very simple: I just want to tell you about the situation in the outside world."
"Oh? What's wrong with the outside world?"
"The world now is different from the world you knew before. This is only the human realm, and there are no demons here. Your appearance will surely cause panic among the people."
"Humans are nothing but ants. What do I care if they panic? If they dare to resist, so what if I wipe them all out?!"
The dragon shook its enormous head, its tone filled with arrogance.
“I know you are powerful and don’t care about the lives of these ordinary people. But think about it, if you were the only one left in this world, what difference would it make from being trapped in the seal, all alone for many years? Wouldn’t you just be swallowed up by the river of time, accompanied only by loneliness?”
"Haha, you human brat, you are far too arrogant to say such things. Aren't you afraid I will tear you to pieces?"
"My Lord Dragon, please don't be agitated. Let me explain slowly."
Despite the overwhelming pressure from the demonic dragon, Zero remained unmoved, his expression unchanged, and calmly said:
“I know your current situation. You are free on the surface, that’s true, but don’t you think it’s all too easy?”
That's right, Zero was testing the waters, testing whether the dragon would have any other emotions because of his words.
Sure enough, the dragon's pupils contracted, revealing a hint of surprise. It opened its massive maw and exhaled a breath of dragon breath:
"Human child, are you saying... that my seal has not truly been broken?"
