Prime Originator



Leon spent a few hours walking around the library without personally touching a single book on the shelves. He used his divine sense and Divine Book of Life to scan everything covertly.

Even after Leon finished recording everything in the library and leaving the Runemaster Tower, the library guardian and other fairies in the library had no idea what Leon was doing. 

"What the heck was that about?" the library guardian uttered. 

The fairies also glanced at each other with evident confusion. The person strolled through the library without touching a single book before leaving. 

What did the person even come to the library for? 

…

After leaving the Runemaster Tower, Leon and Rainshine quietly left the city without informing Lord Rhuvek of his departure. 

With the white crystal status plate given to him, Captain Dhithres and dark elven soldiers made way for him and opened the silver gate without a word. 

On the top balcony of the palace, Lord Rhuvek quickly received word of Leon's departure from the fairy messengers before he softly sighed.

'Since Lord Leon is leaving to take care of his matters on the surface, I better start watching out for myself…' Lord Rhuvek mused before his eyes shimmered with cold gloominess. 

The Dark Elf Clan was no longer safe, and the people he had to watch out for were his own clan members. It was ridiculous that there were even people helping or working with the mutants.

Nevertheless, given how long the traitors had been around, they would have already tried to destroy the Dark Elf Clan if they wanted to. 

Since nothing significant had happened besides the mutants' tracks being hidden, Lord Rhuvek could only guess that the traitors lacked the strength or the timing was not right.

'This situation makes me uneasy,' Lord Rhuvek frowned. He couldn't understand what could have driven dark elves to help or work with the mutants. 

'I should start looking into the history of every clan member that may have suffered injustice in the city. They are most likely to hold a grudge against the clan,' Lord Rhuvek thought. 

Before dealing with the rest of the traitors in the Dark Elf Clan, he had to root out the ones that may be hidden in his city. 

However, just as Lord Rhuvek had that thought, a fairy messenger flew over to deliver a message from Howling Wind Gate.

"My Lord, the clan leader summons you to the main clan to give your testimony regarding the report of your expedition," the fairy messenger reported.

"The clan leader… wants my presence in the main clan? Using the long-range communicator isn't enough?" Lord Rhuvek was startled before he thought, "I suppose it is that serious of a matter."

"Arrange for my departure." 

"Yes, my Lord." 

The fairy messenger quickly complied after receiving the order.

After the fairy messenger left, Lord Rhuvek overlooked the city from his balcony with a distant look before he furrowed his brows with concern. 

He couldn't help but feel like his trip to the main clan will be a perilous one.

…

…

…

After Leon left Seventh Shelter with Rainshine and returned to the seemingly bottomless abyss, he began making his ascent to the surface. 

He reached the thick tree root and vine region in no time and slowly made his way through with wood manipulation. 

"Are we going to be alright, Master? There's a Half-step Divine Beast in this region, wasn't there?" Rainshine suddenly asked. 

"If it didn't attack us the first time, I don't think it will attack us the second time either. We should be fine," Leon replied. 

That being said, he was not one to rely on luck solely. That would be dangerous. He was prepared to use the White Luminosity Eternal Flame at a moment's notice. 

Leon spread out his divine sense to the limit and held the pseudo-Tier-7 Fire Lamp in hand.

However, Half-step Divine Beast-level Wood Serpent was nowhere to be seen. Leon and Rainshine traveled through the woody region without an issue. 

Although the trip was smooth as the first time passing through the region, Leon felt like something was off. 

He wondered if the Half-step Divine Beast-level Wood Serpent actually existed. 

Nevertheless, after passing through the region, Leon quickly pushed aside the thought and reached the abyss entrance. 

"Welcome back, my Lord. We were beginning to worry about your absence," an unfamiliar beautiful woman greeted subserviently with her head lowered.

She had pale skin, long black hair, a pair of eyes as black as the abyss, two dragon horns protruding back from the side of her temples, and partial black dragon scales all over her naked body. 

Whether it was a coincidence or not, the beautiful woman was the same height as Leon. 

Although she seemed frail, her body exuded a terrifyingly powerful dragon aura. It gave others the illusion that her body was indestructible. 

Nevertheless, Leon couldn't help but glance up and down at her bare body with a gaping mouth before he quickly took out a spare cloak and draped it over her body. 

"Quickly put this on," Leon quickly passed her some spare clothes to wear before asking for confirmation, "You are Nightingale, right?"

"Yes, my Lord," Nightingale nodded.

She accepted Leon's clothes and wore them clumsily in front of him, causing the cloak to drop to the ground and reveal her body again. 

Nevertheless, her body was eventually covered by her new clothes, albeit with some tears, as she failed to control her immense strength. The clothes were like tissues to her, very soft and tearable.

Meanwhile, Rainshine stared at Nightingale with wide eyes as she uttered with sheer disbelief, "You're the black earth dragon from before?!"

"That is correct, little one," Nightingale calmly nodded. 

Leon didn't expect Nightingale to master the Divine Beast Transformation Art so quickly. It went beyond his imagination that Nightingale could achieve human form so quickly. 

It was almost magical.

The Divine Beast Transformation Art that he passed to Nightingale from Maya must have been superior to the Divine Beast Arts used by those in the Divine Realm. 

Otherwise, Nightingale's comprehension talent was simply overwhelming.
