Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
Chapter 857: Final Challenge: Guardian DragonAfter passing through the great tunnel of the fifth challenge, Vicente, Elmo and Victor left the area with expectant looks on their faces, imagining that they were already at the end of the trap area.",
Gathering the five items they had collected so far, they could see that the amulet was already complete in terms of fragments, with only something left to activate the dormant power within it.
The Dragon Amulet formed a necklace with a pendant made up of all the fragments, which fit together in an intricate pattern and radiated a powerful, multicolored aura.
But while there seemed to be no room to add more components, its aura seemed to be contained, dormant.
The group couldn't help but smile at the thought that they were on their last test before entering the dragon's territory.
Having already recovered from the challenge of the darkness, they made their way to the valley in front of the tunnel's exit and walked for a few minutes until they came to a hill where they heard a strange voice.
"This is quite a strange group, I see. What do you want by entering my tribe's territory like this?" The voice suddenly came from the direction of the hill in front of the group.
The three of them stopped as they looked at the hill and saw it suddenly change, realizing it wasn't a piece of nature, but a gigantic dragon's body.
The previously sleeping guardian opened its large eyes and moved its body, quickly becoming five times larger by stretching out its wings, back and front legs, and large neck.
A shadow that could cover an entire small human city completely covered the area where Vicente, Victor, and Elmo stood, while the aura of the powerful early 6th stage dragon appeared.Vicente and Victor swallowed their saliva as they witnessed one of the strongest beings on the continent, a being that could certainly compete with vampires of the same stage as him!
Elmo looked respectfully at this creature, one of the three strongest races in the Polaris Realm, as well as a representative of an ancient tribe in these lands.
"Senior Dragon, we are not here to insult your tribe. Vampires and powerful monsters are stationed around the entire Majestic Treefrog Grove, preventing their enemies from entering this special region.
We have plans for the area, so we were forced to pass through the area of your challenges, the place least guarded by the vampires. But we have no evil intentions. We're just passing through." Elmo said as he bowed his head and spoke solemnly.
"Vampires, huh? Is it true that they've carried out their foolish plan to take over the continent?" The creature asked. "Have you come here for help?"
The beings of Majestic Treefrog Grove were in the dark about most things that had happened on the continent in recent years. They knew what might be happening, since they knew they were under siege, but because of the agreements their two rulers had made earlier, they didn't know most of the current news from the continent.
"Yes, the vampires have carried out The Purification. Demien Bloodthorne has reached the 6th stage and has begun his march against human civilization. Currently, the entire north of the continent, except for special areas such as Majestic Treefrog Grove, is under the control of the vampires and their allies.
As for our motives, we are truly looking for help. Any kind of help, be it alliances, warriors to fight alongside us, or even advice. All we want is a chance, Senior." Elmo explained.
The enormous dragon looked at Vicente and Victor, especially at the black-haired young man wearing the dragon amulet.
With a single glance, he recognized the full potential of Vicente, the two magical forms of the boy, and the allied ghost of the human.
"I see... You don't seem evil. In that case, since the vampires tricked us into this passive situation, I'll give you a chance.
The right thing would be for you to fight me and only be allowed to pass if you defeat me. But I'll give you a choice.
If you want, I'll let you pass without a fight. However, if you accept the challenge and defeat me, I will activate the powers of the Dragon Amulet.' He pointed one of his claws in Vicente's direction.
"Once activated, the Dragon Amulet can grant its wearer five special powers.
Elemental Resistance, protection against fire, ice, earth, wind and darkness.
Supreme Healer, able to instantly cure injuries and illnesses.
Elemental Control, the ability to manipulate the elements of fire, ice, earth, wind, and darkness.
Vision of Wisdom, which gives you the ability to see through darkness and illusions, as well as glimpses of the future.
Dragon Aura, which can explode the user's strength, speed, and endurance."
The great dragon at the beginning of the 6th stage pointed out exactly what would happen if they passed the challenge, which piqued the interest of the three allies.
The three of them looked at each other, obviously interested, but also doubtful.
'Do we have a chance to beat him? Fighting him would be more or less the same as fighting a vampire at the peak of 5th or early 6th stage cultivation.' Victor shared his thoughts with Vicente and Elmo.
'That must be the case.' Elmo agreed with Victor's assessment.
'It seems impossible to survive in a fight against him. But the rewards would be great. Someone with the abilities he mentioned would be much stronger, more resilient, and able to make better use of their own abilities.
Imagine not being limited by the need to protect yourself from elemental attacks, and still being able to see glimpses of the future? Even if you could only see 2 seconds ahead, that would be enough for someone with our strengths to change their performance.' Vicente pointed out the advantages.
'But only if we beat him.' Victor knew about the advantages, but they were almost nothing if they didn't beat the dragon in front of them.
The large brown-scaled dragon already knew what was on their minds.
"The challenge is not a fight to the death or until you defeat me. If you can prove that at least one of you can stand up at the end of one minute of fighting time, you will win this challenge. Since you are fighting the vampire scoundrels, I will let you into the tribe even if you lose," the creature said.
Elmo and the two humans opened their eyes wide and thanked the dragon for his kindness.
