Chapter 47: The Appetizer
‘Scanning… These appear to be two Golden Apples, very rare Magic Herbs that forh a dense condensation of the laws of the universe’ Ausra replied, her voice cool
‘Okay, well, what do they do? What’s special about the at the two se claws ht eible trail
‘Golden Apples can be used in a variety of artifacts ortheir efficiency The condensation of the laws of the universe in these fruits is vastly higher than regular objects Eating one of these fruits would cause a baptism of the laws of the universe on your soul, aspected to whatever element the fruit holds’ Ausra replied
‘Oooh’ Dorian’s eyes shined A baptism of the laws of the universe! That hat happened to Wizards when they studied one ele the strength of their Soul Spell Matrix and allowing them to usethem?’ He asked another question
‘It would be unwise to experience multiple baptisms of the laws of the universe at once, and therefore one fruit should not be consumed within 24 hours of the other, to allow for a complete settlement of the soul’
Dorian nodded It made sense He then looked fro
‘Ausra, what elements do these fruits hold?’
‘The red contains traces of the Elereen one contains traces of the Element of Life’
‘Fire’ Dorian understood, but he paused at hearing about the ‘Life’ element
‘What is the Life Eley Common fields of study that derive froht Magic, and Necroic’
‘Oooh!’ He mentally exclaimed He liked the sound of that
Without a secondhe’d looped near one of his claws, securing it earlier, and stored the Fire Element Golden Apple
He then tossed the Life Ele it instantly
Iy filled Dorian’s body Green light suffused his scales, enriching theans in his body, the tendons in his ars, every part of hiy and life It was a near euphoric feeling, the raw energy flowing through hiht soak into hirowth status

"72,000 y?!&8221; He sputtered out loud in astonish wide This was a fantastic find! And, even better, he had another Golden Apple still!
"Mreat appetizer!&8221; He shtful taste still on his tongue
Not only were natural treasures unique and powerful finds, they also contained a y For y asted and would dissipate fro only the natural laws imbued within it
Dorian’s body was unique in that it let hi full use of it
The cool, co to refresh his body over and over He stretched out his scales, his ar It was such an incredibly pleasant experience
Just as he was in the ures approaching in the distance…
"It should be right around he- Is that a dragon?!&8221; Aina’s voice rang out, full of a er undertone of anticipation The female vampire warrior kept her voice relatively low as she spoke, not wanting to alert the beast before them
Rathven and the rest of his Hunters had iy resonance after he broke the crystal They had raced through the Overbal Canyon, not running into any other beasts or creatures thankfully The Golden Apple had been set only a few thousand roup arrived, however, they saw a hulking alreen scaledfeeling had arisen frohly a hundredto advance
"Shit Is it a Draconic Tribe member?&8221; Rathven’s face went pale before he shook his head, tossing the thought The Draconic Tribes were very self-contained within their own territory Further, the Aurelius Family territory was located on nearly the opposite side of the universe when compared to the many worlds controlled by the Draconic Tribes
"Harers as he turned to stare at the Fate Wizard a the troop
Har backwards
"I don’t- I don’t knohat it is, Sir Rathven I checked Fate, it said there were no wild beasts or huer&8221; Sweat dripped down the man’s face as he spoke, a trace of fear in his voice
Rathven took a deep breath and then steeled hi his fists
"We need to take it out if ant to get the natural treasure Its standing right on top of it&8221; Aina whispered to Rathven, her voice shaking with excitelared at her askance Aina had alanted to fight a dragon, having grown up reading tales of powerful vaons with a wave of their hands
"It’s a dragon, Aina A DRAGON&8221; He frowned, feeling a headache co on Aina was usually the careful one of the two of the Fate Wizard,
"Haro in nohat are our chances against it? It’s clearly not Lord Class&8221; Her voice carried an alht on Taprisha, or any of the nearby planets, apart froether, white light glowing from his eyes
Before he could respond, however, Rathven interjected,
"If we do go in, I will go in first and draw its attention with my Hell Lance Then the Blood Wizards are to send out screening fire to keep it distracted, while Aina will go in to connect with its jaw for the kill Everyone else will spread out and approach the beast, not getting too close&8221; He ca years of experience as a Hunter showing their worth
The various Hunters in the group nodded, several of the their swords or various weapons as they looked towards the beast They needed to secure the natural treasure, and it seeon
"Harmen, what do you have?&8221; Rathven turned his attention to the Fate Wizard
"…Fate casts an interesting tale I’ up with only a bit more than 30 chances of success with this plan&8221;
Rathven frowned and then turned to look at the giant, towering behemoth
"It’s a lot better odds than I expected Aina what do you-&8221;
"ALRIGHT! LET’S DO THIS! AIIIINNNNAAAAAAA SILLLLLVERROOCK!&8221; Aina’s yell burst through the air as she charged at the dragon, her stone ha as she dashed forward A brave, heroic aura surrounded her, end
Rathven’s draw dropped,
"Oh od She just ran in&8221; His eyes widened, and he dashed forward, yelling out commands,
"Stick to the plan! Stick to the plan!&8221;
"Blood Wizards, cast your spells! Warriors spread out! Move! Move!&8221;
Dorian watched the s forith each step Sround as she blasted towards hi him of that Titan that he had absorbed
‘Looks like I did take the treasure they were looking for’ He thought, shrugging guiltily
‘Well, first coht bother hied to anyone unless it was already in their hands
‘A Grandmaster Class Vampire, proficient in some type of mystic martial art Not a Wizard’ Ausra identified the vaan to appear around the suely threatening
Dorian blinked His eyes were easily able to follow the vaed, Dorian saw several piercing collections of red light shoot towards hi for his chest and wings He snorted fiercely as he saw this, ducking his e He felt y sear the air above hi hi vampire warrior came within ten on forhly 10 h at least a hundred pounds The entirety of his tail was covered in scales and h and sharp appearance
As soon as the attacker cae, Doran whipped his tail forward Due to its s into the vampire warrior in a split second
Despite the surprise nature of his attack, the woed to raise her stone ha directly into her body
Unfortunately for her, that made little difference
CRACK
BOOM
The sounds of a powerful collision rang out as the fe into the air, her body sla backwards at an extreh the sky, landing nearly 40A web of cracks spread into the ground as the rocks she landed on broke, unable to bear the iled to her feet, covered in dozens of small injuries The female warrior stood up wobbly, as if she was about to fall
She ht, glancing at her Vaenerative properties, but for her to be alive after that… these mystic martial arts seemed like they would be quite useful He decided he’d look into theed at hi towards hi to check on the vampire he had knocked away The rest si toblasts stopped, their hands trean to pull back
"Goddammit, Aina!&8221; Rathven swore as he ran over to her, otta be Pseudo-Lord Class! FALL BACK NOW!&8221; He scooped up the tottering Aina in his grasp,himself
Between the Grandnificant wall of sheer physical strength and energy This was a bad miscalculation on his part Even if they had stuck to his plan, they still would’ve failed
He’d thought the only Pseudo-Lord Class beast in the local area was that Solar Rock Lizard For another one to appear randoh his head, a loud, echoing roar shook the center of the canyon, carrying a heavy, deathly undertone
ROOOOOOAAAAAAR
Rathven closed his eyes for a brief second,at the sheer unfairness and back luck he had
He recognized the sound of that roar
It seemed the world truly wanted him to die today
"Everyone, fall back as fast as possible! We drew the attention of the Solar Rock Lizard!&8221;
Dorian turned his head away froe, scaled lizard that was standing on top of one of the large stone pillars, about a thousand meters away
He smiled
