Zhou Kun analyzed the situation and thought that the green dragon had already seen him as someone who stood on Pilux's side. He might not be able to succeed in surviving even if he turned his head to suck up to the green dragon.
"My admirer, you're here. Are you here to witness the fall of the noble Pilux?" asked Pilux who had been feigning its death by closing its eyes.
Damn it, can you stop pretending to be impressive?
You're already dying, so what's the point?
Great! Now, I'm implicated too.
Zhou Kun wished he could turn around and return to the cold storage warehouse if that was possible. However, Zhou Kun was afraid that the two dragons would chase after him. Hence, he was suddenly stuck in a dilemma and did not know whether he should retreat or advance.
"My admirer, you said before that there are legends about Pilux circulating on the continent. This would be the best proof of my existence in this world."
Zhou Kun discovered that the dragon, who pretended to be impressive, no longer addressed itself using the first-person pronoun. He initially thought that such was the accent of dragons, but it seemed that Pilux had merely done so to pretend to be impressive.
"My name will be the only one that exists on the Aomu Continent. You scheming villains that launch sneak attacks will not have a good outcome."
"Pilux, you'd better cut this out. You're such a narcissist. That's why you're not well-liked among the dragons. Otherwise, why is no one saving you now?" The green dragon spoke again. Clearly, it had known Pilux long ago. Zhou Kun did not expect Pilux to be that unpopular.
"You peasants are not fit to be my companion!" There he goes. This fellow is pretending again.
"Stop wasting your breath talking nonsense with him. Just kill him," said the black dragon that spoke for the first time. He sounded cold and impatient.
The battle of the three dragons was on the verge of breaking out. Zhou Kun had no idea what was wrong with his brain. He immediately tossed the Sprite bottle in his hands towards Pilux and yelled, "Pilux, swallow it!"
Unfortunately, Zhou Kun did not aim or calculate properly. The Sprite bottle that was filled with wine bounced off the green dragon's body and landed on the ground.
The three pairs of eyes of the three dragons were fixed on Zhou Kun.
"Uh… Well… I'm Lord Pilux's follower. That bottle is an offering that I had painstakingly obtained. Lord Pilux is a giant dragon of status. He has to keep himself full before leaving."
Zhou Kun did not know what nonsense he was saying, but his mind was blank. By the time he realized what he had said, he felt that his reason was too fake and that no foolish dragon would believe him.
"Indeed, only then will it not insult my prestige," Pilux agreed with a nod. He felt that his follower was rather thoughtful.
Zhou Kun no longer had hopes for the silly dragon.
To his surprise, the other two dragons were abnormal too.
"Pilux, I didn't expect you to have such a brilliant admirer even though you're so unpopular among the dragons. Adventurer, you've done well. That's what an admirer of the dragons should be like," the green dragon said with a tinge of admiration in his tone.
"Even during our deaths, dragons should die gloriously. Adventurer, go offer your final tribute to your Lord Pilux," the black dragon said with a somber tone. He did not expect Pilux to have found such an excellent follower.
However, it looked at Zhou Kun the adventurer and felt that he was definitely devoted to Pilux. He thought that Zhou Kun might kill himself and die together with Pilux later.
Otherwise, it would be a good idea to take Zhou Kun under his wing.
Zhou Kun was unaware of the thoughts of the black and green dragons in front of him. Although he was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and slowly pick up the Sprite bottle under the gaze of the three dragons. He then brought it to Pilux.
"I'm very pleased to have a follower like you."
It was the first time that Zhou Kun had ever been that close to Pilux. Its burning breath was a little too overbearing for Zhou Kun. Zhou Kun could feel the slight rise and fall of Pilux's scales as it breathed.
Zhou Kun twisted the lid of the Sprite bottle to remove it. He then poured the wine into Pilux's mouth.
"Tum...tum...tum..." As Zhou Kun poured the wine into Pilux's mouth continuously, he felt Pilux's temperature rising to the point that it began to feel unbearable.
The next thing Zhou Kun saw was the healing of the wounds on Pilux's body—it was at a speed visible to the naked eye. It seemed that the wine had begun to work.
Zhou Kun tossed the bottle at Pilux all of a sudden because he thought that the wine might be a panacea that could help Pilux.
As the biggest mastermind of the other world, Zhou Kun had some mysterious confidence in the items that he brought to the other world. After all, the numerous previous examples had already verified his suspicions.
"Admirer, what did you let me drink? I feel like I'm full of power and energy now."
Pilux looked at the scales on its body. They had regained their luster. He found it to be incredible.
Not only had some of its abrasions recovered, all of the magical power that had been drained from its body during the battle earlier on had been replenished. Even Pilux could feel a new type of magical power being generated within himself.
The two other dragons had obviously noticed the changes in Pilux.
"Oh no, Pilux's aura is getting stronger. We can't delay any longer. Let's do it now."
Although the black and green dragons reacted quickly, it was already too late.
"You two scoundrels, accept the punishment from Pilux," said Pilux whose flames were fully loaded.
Seeing that Pilux had recovered, Zhou Kun hid in a corner and decided to let the dragons settle the remaining matters themselves.
The effects of the wine did not end there. A magical burst of mystical dark patterns was still wrapping themselves around Pilux. They were eventually engraved on Pilux's scales.
All of a sudden, a row of thorns sprang up under the feet of the black and green dragons when they were avoiding Pilux's flames.
"Earth magic? Pilux, aren't you a Flame Dragon? How could you use Earth magic?" the two dragons asked in shock.
"My abilities are far beyond the imagination of you small fries." Although Pilux was trying to put on a strong front, he knew that it was because of the drink that Zhou Kun had given him just now.
After recovering from his injuries and advancing to a dual-specialization dragon, the giant dragon Pilux was no longer the Flame Dragon that could not retaliate after being hit.
Pilux, who was going against two opponents, did not lose the upper hand at all. The two giant dragons seemed rather pathetic when trying to avoid the projections that were emerging every now and then.
"Pilux, I'll definitely make you pay for the humiliation and insult that you've caused me today." Seeing that the situation was not in its favor, the black dragon turned around and left the lair. When it was leaving, it glared coldly at Zhou Kun who was in the corner.
The green dragon also wanted to escape, but it was already too late.
"Where do you think you're going, my dearest Anbabu?" Pilux gibed mockingly as it instantly stopped the green dragon from leaving.
