Age of Adepts

Thunder Dragon Arms.

As a Third Grade thunder dragon that had joined Greem during the developmental years of the Crimson Clan, Arms was still considered a young, powerful, and wealthy dragon.

However, ever since he allied with the humans, he was completely shunned and rejected by Lance’s dragons. He was no longer part of their social circle.

Similarly, Arms did not fit in with the human adepts either.

Thus, he became a lonely dragon, often staying alone in his massive territory with no direction in life.

It was said that the ambitious Emerald Dragon Iritina had fought with him several times over this. A giant rift had appeared in their relationship.

If Greem could help Arms reach Fourth Grade, his presence would certainly further propel the Crimson Clan to greater heights. However, Arms still lacked in loyalty, especially compared to Dragonborn Zacha.

He would never be able to get close to these crystals.

Divine crystals of such power and of the same origin attribute as himself were rare enough that they were things he could only come across, never things he could seek. If he missed this opportunity, and he would regret it for eternity!

After struggling for a brief moment, Arms finally lifted his head. His light-blue eyes stared straight at Greem as he spoke, “Give me the corpse of the divine creature and the divine crystals, and I will sign a dragonsoul contract with you.”

Ordinary dragon contracts were already incredibly binding for a dragon. A contract signed with their dragonsoul as the basis was even more terrifying. To sign a contract like this was to hand over their very life to another individual.

A single thought would be all it took to kill them.

It was unimaginable for a proud, pureblood dragon.

Greem raised an eyebrow, but his expression was still as calm as ever. He replied coldly, “I can only give you half of the corpse. I already have plans for the other half!”

Arms already twisted face became even more ugly.

“Fine, I’ll take half, but I want a real dragoncliff! ”

“That is no problem!”

Arms let out a puff of black smoke from his nostrils as he replied sternly, “The very best!”

“That is no problem! I can order Gargamel to open the clan treasury and help you build the largest, most majestic, and most brilliant dragoncliff in Lance. I promise you it will be the brightest star among the Fourth Grade dragons of Lance!”

Arms finally felt better when he heard Greem’s reassurance.

With the divine crystals, his control of the lightning laws would certainly improve significantly. With the corpse of the divine creature, his thunder-dragon bloodline would be further nourished. With that, it wasn’t just a matter of advancing to Fourth Grade; he might even have a sliver of a chance of reaching Fifth Grade!

A little thought was still hidden deep in Arms’ heart.

If…if he could reach Fifth Grade before Greem did, even a dragonsoul contract wouldn’t be perfectly binding!

…………

Any other adept would have been much more reluctant to give away the corpse of a Fourth Grade divine creature like this.

With some special methods, the immortal trait of the divine creature’s corpse could be transplanted into an adept’s body. However, Greem walked the path of an elementium body. He did not have as strong a desire for an immortal body as a body-refining adept would have.

As for the other half of the corpse that he had reserved? It wasn’t meant for him, but a ‘veteran’ of the Crimson Clan that was worth investment.

Perhaps, that person could bring him an unexpected surprise when they got stronger.

After all, there weren’t many things left in this world that was worthy of his reminiscing anymore!
