Chapter 668: Chapter 498: Would You Make an Exception with a Savage?_1

"Don’t underestimate the Dragon Tribe, they are not so weak." the fire dragon and Zheng Yichen stressed this point, "A living Demigod is still valuable, but a dead Demigod... hmph."

At this, Klakauska snorted lightly. They preferred to target those who bore grudges against the Dragon Tribe, some of whom he had confirmed overnight were indeed offenders against the Dragon Tribe first. For such beings, it was perfectly reasonable for the Dragon Tribe to kill the offenders in retaliation, so long as they didn’t let their targets escape. And as for drawing out the Divinity behind the Demigods?

It’s as if the Dragon Tribe had no Divinity backing them up!

A Demigod killing a Demigod was just a fight within the realm of Demigods, but if a True God stepped in, that would be a different story. Would it be appropriate for adults to intervene in children’s quarrels? Wouldn’t that be shameless?

If they were shameless, so be it, once they intervened, other Deities would not mind stepping in to slap faces, too. Even though Zheng Yichen was not of the Dragon Tribe, if he was moving with him and a True God really did step in, the fire dragon indicated that the Dragon God backing the Dragon Tribe would not stand by and watch.

"So that’s how it is." After hearing the fire dragon’s explanation, Zheng Yichen nodded in surprise, finding Klakauska’s response to be very rational in the face of hatred.

He didn’t choose to ’avoid suspicion’ and openly stand with them, which could be seen as a risk, but at the same time, it was a way to help himself; Klakauska’s actions were essentially pulling Zheng Yichen to the side of the Dragon Tribe. However, this kind of support would not gain too much backing from the Dragon Tribe itself.

In battles that did not involve True Gods, the Dragon Tribe could just be seen as part of the backdrop, but if a True God really intervened, then this support would become very significant.

"But about the fight at the level of Demigods you mentioned..."

Zheng Yichen hadn’t finished speaking when Klakauska waved his claw: "You don’t think you’re not a Demigod, do you? Although the Divinity within you is well hidden, in this world, essentially, you’re no different from a Demigod. If I had to put it a certain way, you’re more like... a wild, no, a natural Demigod.

Natural Demigods are not rare. Mages who have reached a certain level of understanding and power can attempt to break through to the level of a Demigod. If someone is capable of plundering the Divinity of a Demigod, they too can become a Demigod.

If the kin we encountered back then had been a bit luckier, they would probably be Demigods by now. And as for plundering a Demigod’s Divinity... with the Dragon Devour Secret Technique, it’s not that difficult anymore."

Speaking of which, the fire dragon lowered his voice: "Let me tell you, this Dragon Devour Secret Technique can also plunder the Divinity of a Demigod, although it can only target specific individuals. Still, there are Demigods among the dragons..."

"...I have a feeling that the moment you start spreading such ideas, you’re likely to become a disaster for the Dragon Tribe."

"Hey! I’m just speaking hypothetically, do you think I want to know this kind of information??" Klakauska’s voice grew even lower as he continued, "I don’t want this either, but besides the knowledge, there is a whole lot of understanding involved, what can I do."

"Haha, then just bottle it up. Actually, the method isn’t important, it’s about the person, right? The Dragon Devour Secret Technique won’t turn someone into a psychopath, will it?"

The fire dragon shook his head: "That depends on how you choose. If you ensure a pure Devouring, there won’t be too many problems, but the advancement will be less. If you gobble it up without discrimination, it might have some impact on the soul, due to the residual influence of the Devoured."

"You’re a Dusk mercenary now, and you’ll have plenty of chances to meet nasty dragons in the future. Use any method you can, rather than dying before you even get to play your ace of spades."

Zheng Yichen thought of Hunter Arno. Was their relationship just a fleeting encounter, perhaps? But that Dusk mercenary certainly left a deep impression on him since he was the first Dusk mercenary he had met and got to know.

"That’s true... If I get discovered, I’ll just swear a True Dragon Oath," Klakauska muttered. The Dragon Devour Secret Technique left traces of use, and even if one hid it well, it could still be spotted; otherwise, that member of the Dragon Tribe wouldn’t be on a wanted list.

What he referred to as a True Dragon Oath was akin to a ’heart vow.’ In a world powered by magic, such oaths held significant binding power. If he used this vow to declare he had never persecuted the dragons of this world, he would gain the trust of the Dragon Tribe.

Dragons from other worlds? Ah, sorry, not familiar with those.

Klakauska then shook his head vigorously, "No, no, what am I thinking about this for? You might not think much of it, but for a dragon, that’s equivalent to cannibalism! Would you casually go to another world and decide to snack on a couple of primitives just because you can?"

"...Your analogy is apt, but please don’t make it sound so disgusting next time. Let’s set off after you finish eating; I think you’ve already chosen your target," Zheng Yichen said.

"Hahaha, of course, you better pull your weight and not let that guy get away," the fire dragon laughed heartily before immediately discussing the target he had chosen.

The individual in question, even though a Demigod, wasn’t too strong and had made it onto the Dragon Tribe’s blacklist for smuggling dragon eggs.

"Smuggling dragon eggs?" Zheng Yichen doubted his ears and cast a strange look at the fire dragon. If he remembered correctly, Klakauska initially seemed to be planning to steal a dragon egg too, right? "Exactly, how shoddy is the Dragon Tribe’s dragon egg surveillance?"

"Cough, cough, don’t talk nonsense. The Dragon Tribe has always been vigilant about guarding dragon eggs. It’s just that some situations are rather special. That Demigod might not be powerful, but his strength can corrupt the soul of a target, thereby increasing his influence over them," Klakauska explained.

Klakauska went on to describe that Demigod’s abilities in detail, explaining how he used such powers to smuggle the dragon eggs. The Dragon Tribe’s territories were not limited to one, nor were they like in some stories where all dragons gather in one place.

Consequently, dragon eggs were widely scattered, with each territory of the Dragon Tribe having a few. That Demigod managed to corrupt two of the guards watching over the dragon eggs and stealthily smuggled them. However, since the Dragon Tribe valued their offspring greatly, this act did not go unnoticed for long.

The two guards with corrupted souls were detained by the Dragon Tribe. Klakauska was unsure of the outcome, but that Demigod had landed on the Dragon Tribe’s blacklist for this reason, and the Dragon Tribe would certainly kill him if given a chance. The trouble was, that Demigod’s abilities were too problematic.

Without proper preparation, killing him would cause an outburst of his power, leading to the corruption of many dragons’ souls. Even if the instigator were dead, the dragons affected by the corrupted souls would gradually lean towards the True God parent of the Demigod.

"And in this case, the Dragon Tribe couldn’t possibly offer a high bounty..." the fire dragon added before glancing again at the projection screen beside Zheng Yichen, "You’ve noticed too, haven’t you? Whether it’s the warrants or mission assignments, they almost always involve those below Demigod status. It’s rare to find issues involving Demigods, and when there are, it’s usually those unintelligent half-god magical beasts. That’s the limit when it comes to bounties and warrants."
