Soul Of Negary

This dragon might have had some relations with the Interkam kingdom’s ancestors, which meant that Negary and this dragon could be considered to be close relatives.

All dragons were capable of infusing their information and will within their own bloodline, this was the true nature of the dragon’s bloodline inheritance.

While this dragon that Negary hunted was able to move his entire [Origin] into his blood while maintaining a vitality-filled facade to wrestle against Negary.

…

At another location, a stream of golden blood had just broken through the ground and infused itself into the body of a snake.

『 That damned traitor, causing me to lose so much 』the dragon Idain begrudgingly cursed. His belief was that his noble dragon bloodline was his everything, and so the [Origin] ability he awakened was one focused on his blood.

When necessary, Idain’s blood was able to explosively exert itself, through the connection of blood, he could even resurrect himself. This resurrection wasn’t the crude method of memory imprinting, but rather the migration of his [Origin] onto another creature’s body.

Idain’s dragon blood would constantly alter the host creature’s body, slowly turning it into his own dragon’s body before fully taking it over, thus achieving true resurrection.

Once a life form dies, the links that connected their soul to their [Origin] would usually break, their [Origin] would once again revert to an unreleased state and enter reincarnation. This ability that allowed the [Origin] to remain in a released state with all soul links intact and resurrect at relatively full power even after the body’s death could be considered to be quite rare.

Of course, in order to deceive Negary and buy time for him to escape, Idain had to give up a part of his soul to create a fake Idain in his old body and stimulate his struggling.

『 I had better be careful and wait until the great Ancestor conquers this world before I try to resurrect 』Idain silently slithered into hiding with his current reptilian body. The internal affairs of the Burning Crusade weren’t exactly peaceful in the first place, and with the addition of this world’s traitors among their ranks, exposing his current state would definitely draw malicious intent.

However, as he had lost the majority of his soul, Idain couldn’t detect that some unique germs that followed his blood, infected his soul, and slowly hid themselves.

…

〖 So, did you like my trick? 〗Negary sensed the germs that were gradually invading the dragon’s soul and displayed a clear look of interest in his eyes. If this was any other place, Negary definitely wouldn’t have discovered the dragon using his blood to flee.

But in this world, Negary wielded the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority, which was technically the management of all otherworld invaders. Although this description was highly exaggerated, it was still simple for the Authority to allow the detection of invaders.

As Negary severed the dragon’s head, he had already noticed the dragon’s plans of sneaking away, so he mixed a bit of his own Soul’s Blood within the dragon’s blood, then acted as if he had only found out after the fact in order to deceive the dragon.

After all, a dead body didn’t have nearly as much research value as a living soul.

Idain didn’t notice Negary’s soul virus at all. If he was at his peak and was highly cautious, he might have been able to notice, but now he could only stay ignorant as the soul virus stole his thoughts and memories; although the majority of it was unimportant, Negary would still occasionally obtain some very useful knowledge.

For example, [Dracotongue]. Negary had only managed to extract a total of three [Dracotongue] syllables from Nala’s dragon blood, which immediately lost their powers after he left the Flame world due to no longer having the reinforcement of the world.

The Progenitor Dragon naturally noticed this as well. Since [Dracotongue] was one of the Dragon race’s embodiment of power, losing it meant losing a lot of their strength, so the Progenitor Dragon modified [Dracotongue], turning what was originally a natural-born talent and improved it to become the so-called Dracotongue Magic.

In the Flame world, if utilizing [Dracotongue] required the rhythm of the world to harmonize itself with [Dragon’s Pressure] and form a special rhythm; then the current Dracotongue Magic only required the use of [Dragon’s Pressure] to actively stir up one’s surroundings. Although this wasn’t quite as convenient as how it used to be in the Flame world, it was much easier to control, and if one’s strength was enough, the upper limit for Dracotongue Magic would even surpass the original [Dracotongue].

However, the information that Negary was most interested in: their method of otherworldly travel, was being withheld completely by the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon, not common knowledge.

While slowly stealing Idain’s memories, Negary also prepared a few traps while waiting for his next prey to arrive. The fact that he was able to kill the dragon Idain during this ambush came as a surprise to even Negary himself.

Firstly, Negary managed to take the initiative through his words.

Secondly, Negary had the home field advantage and used the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority to restrain the majority of Idain’s powers.

Thirdly, the Dragon of Eternal Sin form was unimaginably potent in counteracting the Dragon race as a whole.

But finally, this dragon was much weaker compared to what Negary had assumed.

According to Negary’s initial thoughts, the majority of the soldiers from the Dragon race would have already reached the second stage of release, with no shortage of those who had reached the third stage of release, and that the Dragon race’s high achievements should have been reflected with their considerable willpower.

Idain managed to make the resolution to use his [Origin] ability and immediately escaped right as he found the situation unfavorable, which was decent, but far from the level that Negary had expected to encounter.

However, it made sense in hindsight, as the main reason why they could achieve the third stage of release was due to them having enough resources. A powerful soul would certainly carry an individual’s willpower up to a certain point, but due to the lack of competition from having sufficient resources, they also lacked self-training.

The Dragon race didn’t need to worry about how to become stronger, as the majority of their knowledge was inherited from their bloodline, the main way for them to train their willpower was to rely on the willpower of their forefathers, while they usually just slept all day or collected riches for themselves.

After arranging his trap, Negary used his [Otherworld Invasion] to attract his next target, Killer J sat next to him, singing a folk song with strange lyrics.

“Looking up above, oh how far the sky is”

“The shroud of night falls, stars fill the sky”

“The prosperous age had ended; the end of the world is here”

“Break through your limit, those days…”

〖 There he comes…〗Negary abruptly looked up. A 5-meter-tall giant covered in a layer of glowing dark light appeared from above, he exuded an ominous aura, followed by the buzzing of flies and mosquitoes, as well as a greatly nauseating scent.

A member of the Divine race was typically 5 meters in height, they were born with various natural advantages like a strong body and spirit, keen senses, as well as an intelligent mind; even without releasing their [Origin], they could easily match the strength of a hundred human soldiers by themselves.

The God of disease and omens, Negary.

In the beginning, Negary had taken on his name in order to survive past his hardest period, this wasn’t anything shameful to admit, as everyone had their time of being weak.

However, the two Negary individuals were definitely different from one another, as the remnant soul Negary had expanded the meaning of this name to a greater degree.

It would be one thing if they hadn’t met, but now that they had run into one another, to Negary, the name of this Divine race member had become a bit of an eyesore!
