Copperfield suddenly recalled that a huge dragon seemed to have opened its mouth to speak.
A huge dragon?
He pinched the space between his brows, trying his best to clear his mind.
Why did a dragon appear in the Magical Beasts Mountain Range? Copperfield vaguely remembered that the soul power undulations emitted by the huge dragon that had fought with him previously were roughly around three-star power.
Three-star power could already be said in human language, which meant that the bloodline power of that giant dragon was extremely powerful. For an ordinary dragon to be able to achieve such a feat, it would basically need to have six-star power.
And six-star power was basically the upper limit of an ordinary dragon's power.
As for why this giant dragon had come to the mountain range, it was probably because the fire-type soul power in this volcanic region was extremely dense, and was suitable for fire-type practitioners to cultivate.
Copperfield stood up and gently stretched his body that was filled with pain and swelling.
Only now did he realize that Nameless had been quietly guarding behind him the entire time.
Copperfield turned around to take a look.
Other than the lifeless black smoke on his body, there were actually bits and pieces of fire-type soul power scattered around his body.
It seemed that after absorbing the pure fire-type soul power, the body of Nameless had undergone many changes.
Apart from the hellish aura from before, his body had also fused with a portion of the fire-type soul power.
Furthermore, Copperfield could no longer feel the searing heat as he stood around the volcano region.
This was because his fire-type soul power affinity had increased. However, due to the black-grey soul power from before, Copperfield did not actually know what kind of soul power he possessed, and he did not feel any sense of affinity towards any particular type during his daily cultivation.
Therefore, Copperfield wasn't completely certain.
However, based on the current situation, he already had the conditions to enter the volcano region.
As for the berserk soul power from before, Copperfield felt that it should have something to do with Elegy.
The Flame Crystal was clearly embedded in Elegy's lute.
But why was all the soul power being transferred back to him?
Copperfield's head was throbbing incessantly, and he had nearly been killed by his own soul.
If it wasn't for the giant dragon's lack of killing intent, the outcome would have been much worse than now.
As the soul power undulations within Copperfield's body gradually calmed down, what followed was a massive feeling of an empty stomach.
Suppressing the tyrannical soul power within his body was too exhausting.
Copperfield then found a boiling lava pool nearby and took out the Thorn Boar, a tier 1 magical beast he had killed on the way here.
After skillfully flaying the boar, Copperfield placed it on the boiling lava and slowly began to rotate it.
The fat and juicy pork meat continuously emitted an alluring oil. The meat was incomparably fresh and tender. Following Copperfield's simple addition of some seasoning, an alluring fragrance spread out in all directions.
When he lived in Cavendish Town, Terrence had been in charge of three meals a day at the beginning. Later, Copperfield really felt bad, so he began to learn on his own. His culinary skills were not bad.
Copperfield gently used a small blade to place a piece of wild boar meat that had been tested well into his mouth.
The taste was not bad.
Just as he was about to start the meal, there was a sudden tremor behind him.
A huge head poked out from the previous hole.
"What taste would make you think that?"
The huge head looked around the perimeter of the hole, its nose twitching vigorously. Finally, its gaze was firmly locked onto Copperfield.
Copperfield heard the movement and turned his head.
He saw the huge dragon staring straight at him as if it was coveting the roasted pig in his hands.
Although the huge head still had strong pressure, Copperfield recalled what had happened previously, but he could not connect its huge body with the dragon's previous performance.
The only thing that could be praised was probably the huge pressure that he brought to himself in the cave.
Cave?
Copperfield looked up at the sky. Could this dragon be afraid of the thunderclouds above its head?
He looked at the giant dragon in front of him staring at the roasted meat in his hands with its eyes full of hope. However, it hid its huge body in the cave, cowering in fear and not daring to come out. From time to time, it would even look at the sky above its head with a struggling expression.
Copperfield's guess had been confirmed.
The giant dragon in front of him was afraid of the thunderstorms above its head.
Copperfield's nature immediately came into play. This dragon might not be particularly smart. If he could make this giant dragon obediently follow him, it would definitely be a significant increase for his battle prowess.
Moreover, after Copperfield had advanced to two-star, he had obtained the second skill of Elegy.
However, from the looks of it, he still hadn't used it yet.
Requiem, Soul Pacifier which was used previously was considered Elegy's first skill. It could effectively dispel negative statuses of creatures.
The second skill was called Requiem, Soul Stabiliser. Its purpose was to use Elegy's ability to pacify the soul. In addition to Copperfield's incredible soul power, he could sign a master-servant contract with any creature, making it completely obey his orders, unable to betray him.
Copperfield wasn't too sure about the other uses of this skill, as he hadn't experimented with it before.
The magical beasts he had encountered before were too weak. A peak three-star Thunder Bear could be considered the enemy of the dragon mercenary group, so killing it wouldn't be a problem. Even if it wasn't, Copperfield had no actual interest in the smelly bear.
However, the dragon before him was obviously a perfect test subject.
Thus, Copperfield tore off a leg from the wild boar and threw it in the direction of the dragon.
The dragon immediately opened its mouth and bit down. Without chewing much, it swallowed the meat.
That's right. Even if the wild boar was a tier one magical beast, its body would only be four meters long. To the dragon before it, it was not enough at all.
However, after the giant dragon ate the wild boar leg, it starting drooling.
Obviously, it had never eaten such delicious food in the depths of the mountain range.
Copperfield simply cut off the other leg of the wild boar and kept it for his dinner. Then, he threw the rest of it to the giant dragon.
The giant dragon still ate it in one gulp, but it seemed like it was still not satisfied.
Copperfield slowly began to eat the pork in front of him.
Seeing that the human in front of him was no longer paying attention to him, the dragon was a little unhappy.
So the dragon straightened its body and spoke in a serious tone.
"Human, if I hadn't spared your life before, would you still be sitting here safe and sound?"
"I don't need to expend any effort to deal with an ant like you. Moreover, you stole my precious Flame Crystal."
