The dragons might have been sloppy with the way they handled the evidence but their defense were rock solid. It was a hell of a journey for Alfred as he infiltrated the dragons lair in the mountains. He had made this journey alone as he was the strongest of the humans and also because he had an ace in the hole technique that he had recently comprehended. The dragon tribe works by a hierarchy based on strength and also the purity of their bloodline. The branch members of the dragon family like the wyverns and frost dragons occupied positions based on their strengths.
All the high ranked members of the dragon tribe were guarding the location Tevor had chosen to breakthrough. The dragons had high levels of intelligence just like the humans and were capable of speech. Unknown to Alfred he was walking into a trap , because the location guarded by the dragons was empty , Tevor actually failed to breakthrough but entered a rare state of mind as the dao of martial cultivation was revealed to him. He comprehended a high grade cultivation technique called the divine dragons formula. However this comprehension state requires a lot of spirit stone to maintain, due to the limited resources at Tevor's disposal he had only partly comprehended the dao. You see each cultivation technique requires a suitable body refinement technique in order to obtain the maximum benefit. Tevor hadn't comprehended the body refinement technique that is suitable for this unique, never before seen cultivation technique.
Previously the dragons had planned to enslave the human race but after the accidental discover of the spirit vein they decided to exterminate all the humans so they can obtain all such spirit veins in the world.
The greatest obstacle for them to realize this dream was a single human who had attained the half saint realm. So they decided to bait him in to coming to the dragon lair. They purposefully left the elf alive so that the humans would send in their most powerful weapon to stop Tevor from breaking through, but the dragons were in for a surprise because they had called upon a walking disaster called Alfred Farlorn.
Alfred was skeptical about the whole thing and was always on his guard but he none the less reached the area guarded by the dragons. He never fought any creature the whole journey so as to not alert the enemy.
Even though he was a half saint realm expert he cannot face an entire army of fire spewing dragons himself. Just as he was planning to sneak past the blockade of dragons he was found out and surrounded by a group of elite class dragons that were below the half saint rank. Just by analyzing the situation Alfred found that he had been made so he prepared to go all out, that was the only option he cannot conserve his strength because it would be suicidal. He battled straight for a day and night and finally emerged victories from the battle, 20 dragons had surrounded him and only 5 got away with their lives, it was not that they could escape but it was Alfred who let them live because he could feel the raising killing instinct raising around him, he knew that this feeling of blood thirst belonged to a half saint expert. Alfred was happy that Tevor hadn't brokenthrough to saint realm but was sure that he would die today in this fight as he was already exhausted.
Tevor didn't sneak attack but patiently waited for the human to exhaust himself, it wanted to be 100% sure of killing the despicable human who killed his brethren like pulling out weed.
Tevor came out of the shadows and looked at the exhausted figure of an old human, if it hadn't witnessed the previous carnage then it wouldn't believe that a frail old human singlehandedly killed 15 elite class dragons. But it didn't matter as he would be killed today, in order to toy around with the human Tevor decided to break his mental fortitude. Tevor bragged about how he had comprehended a unique cultivation method and how he will rule the entire world after he killed him, Tevor wanted the human to despair knowing that he was too powerless to stop his grand plans. But the smug look on the dragons face disappeared as the human started to laugh as if he had heard the biggest joke of his life. Tevor was infuriated and wanted to squash the human like a bug only then will he be appeased, so he raised his arm to land a sledge hammer attack on the human, he wanted to nail the human in the ground. But to Tevor's surprise the human actually blocked his attack, Tevor was too late to notice the change in the human as he was bragging.
Alfred who had just fought 20 dragons was made to listen to the narcissitic bragging of Tevor. He found it funny as how Tevor had already deemed him to be a dead man and was sharing his war plans with him, Alfred patiently listened to all the B.S from Tevor , but what caught his attention was the unique cultivation technique that Tevor spoke about because he had himself comprehended a unique body refining technique called "Titan's might" but sadly he couldn't practice it because it required a specfic body type called Draconic physique.
