Chapter 448

Upon hearing that, Torrence said solemnly, “Well, Paradiso is the strongest nation in Moranta. Since itsinception, Paradiso had stood out with its exceptional magical prowess. The founder and first ruler,Darve, had been a renowned figure, hailed as the most formidable man in history. Possessingextraordinary talents in both magic and combat, Darve set the standard for the subsequent rulers ofParadiso. They too prioritized the development of magic and combat skills, solidifying their position asa powerful force among the royal families of Paradiso.”

He took a momentary pause before continuing, “Nevertheless, despite the prevailing circumstances,Supreme Sect managed to rise above all others and assert its authority in collecting taxes. It evensucceeded in gaining recognition from Paradiso, which attests to the immense strength of SupremeSect.”

Jonathan and Yeverie were caught off guard by the revelation. Jonathan responded with a wry smile,saying, “Well, that doesn’t concern me anymore. I’m going back to the main world, after all.” He pausedfor a moment, then grinned. “But I’m curious, what is the third spell?”

With that, he picked up the third, purple spell.

Jonathan closed his eyes and tapped into his spiritual sense to investigate further. Within moments, hesensed the distinct presence of earth elements in the third spell. As Jonathan delved deeper into theessence of the third spell, he sensed an intriguing quality to its earth elements. They swirled andtwisted like dark vortices, concealing their true purpose from prying eyes. It was as if the spell held ahidden power, shrouded in mystery and intrigue.

Immediately, Jonathan opened his eyes and turned to Torrence, relaying the information he haduncovered.

Although Torrence lacked expertise in magic, his familiarity with spells and knowledge of the elders’magic allowed him to grasp the significance of Jonathan’s replaceings.

“This spell, known as Door of Enlightenment, was created by an Earth Magician and the chief elder ofSupreme Sect, Derren.”

“What exactly is this ‘Door of Enlightenment’?” Jonathan inquired, his curiosity piqued.

Torrence proceeded to provide an explanation, stating, “Door of Enlightenment has the ability totransform into an underground gateway. By entering the gate, one can evade pursuit and seek refuge.Furthermore, it has the capability to transform into the Eonetara Gate, effectively trapping individualswithin. Once trapped inside, unless they possess formidable magical abilities, escape becomes nearlyimpossible as they are buried deep underground.”

“That’s impressive!” Jonathan exclaimed, his eyes filled with awe and admiration for the spell. He wasgenuinely impressed by its capabilities.

Soon, Jonathan discerned the presence of two distinct energies within the Door of Enlightenment spell.One emanated a gentle and soothing aura, while the other exuded a fierce and powerful force.

The ferocious energy within the spell served to assail and defeat adversaries, while the gentle energyprovided protection and aid to those seeking refuge from pursuers.

Having comprehended the intricacies of the three spells, Jonathan safely stored them within his spatialring, ensuring their accessibility whenever the need arose.

Due to concerns about security, Jonathan opted to rely on his spatial ring rather than the storage ring,replaceing it to be a safer and more trustworthy option for storing valuable spells.

Then, he turned his gaze toward Torrence and couldn’t help but ask the burning question, “Is it true, Mr.Moose’s claim that you stole the Auropurple Crown?”

“Yes, it’s true.” Torrence nodded solemnly in response to the question.

Jonathan’s curiosity prompted him to inquire further. “Why did you come to Demon Palace afterstealing the Auropurple Crown?”

“Naturally, I’m here to pledge my allegiance to Demon Dragon,” Torrence responded. “The AuropurpleCrown is a divine relic of Supreme Sect. I plan to offer it to Demon Dragon as a symbol of my loyaltyand seek his protection in return. Given that Demon Dragon and Theos are archenemies, I believe hewill be pleased to have the Auropurple Crown in his possession.”

Jonathan fell into a pensive silence, contemplating the situation at hand. After a moment, he spoke upwith a serious tone. “It appears that your plan might encounter an obstacle. The entity frozen in DragonPalace, was it indeed Demon Dragon?”

Torrence affirmed with a nod. “Indeed, it is Demon Dragon who is frozen in Demon Palace.” He pausedfor a moment, collecting his thoughts before continuing, “There have always been rumors circulatingabout Demon Dragon’s confinement within Demon Palace. Even Theos herself, despite her power, wasapprehensive about venturing into Demon Palace. I believed that Demon Dragon was still alive until Iwitnessed the current state of the palace and the frozen state of Demon Dragon. It was a startlingrevelation.”

A cloud of concern settled over Torrence’s face as he processed the implications. It was evident thatthe revelation was far from desirable news for him.

“What are your plans now?” asked Jonathan.

A bitter smile formed on Torrence’s lips as he responded to Jonathan’s question, “Initially, seekingrefuge with Demon Dragon was my only recourse. However, with him now frozen, it seems there is nolonger a place for me in this world.”

Jonathan’s anxiety rose, and he felt a surge of panic. Wait, we’re in the same boat now. Does thatmean I have no place either? Are we both left with nowhere to go?

Torrence observed Jonathan’s troubled expression and let out a wry smile. “I warned you about thegravity of the situation, but you refused to listen. Regret won’t change our predicament now.”

Jonathan chuckled lightly and replied, “Regret? I don’t believe in regrets. I knew what I was getting intowhen I chose to assist you.” He paused for a moment, deep in thought, before continuing, “However,we can’t afford to remain idle. We must replace a solution. What if we pledge our loyalty to the King ofParadiso instead?”

Torrence shook his head in disagreement. “That won’t work.”

“Why not?”

“The royal family dislikes Supreme Sect, but they are allies. It is precisely this alliance that allowedSupreme Sect to become as powerful as it is today. If we seek refuge with the royal family, they willlikely betray us and hand us over to Supreme Sect.”

Jonathan’s expression turned somber as he realized the gravity of their predicament and the limitedoptions available to them.

“We can’t rely on Demon Dragon, and seeking refuge with the royal family is out of the question. In thatcase, should we just hide?” he suggested.

“Even if we hide, Theos possesses the Holy Scripture, which grants her the ability to locate uswherever we may be.”

Jonathan’s spirit sank as he exclaimed in disbelief, “Are we truly doomed to die?”

After releasing a heavy sigh, Torrence affirmed with a solemn tone, “Betraying Supreme Sect isessentially inviting death upon oneself.”

Jonathan, however, refused to accept the notion of a hopeless situation and declared, “I refuse tobelieve that there is absolutely no way out. No one is all-powerful, not even Theos.”

Torrence proposed, “For the time being, we should stay in this snowy tundra. It used to be the exilegrounds for the dragon clan, and Theos is unwilling to venture into this area. Therefore, it offers usrelative safety. However, since we have eliminated Mr. Moose and his group, Theos may come after usonce she becomes aware of it.”

“I planned to replace refuge with Demon Dragon, but with Demon Dragon frozen, our safety here is nolonger guaranteed if Theos comes for us.” He sighed.

Suddenly, Jonathan’s gaze shifted toward Torrence, a spark of curiosity igniting within him as hecontemplated the dragons. “Dragon clan and Demon Dragon. What’s going on here?”

Jonathan wasn’t someone who would dwell on his troubles. Before long, his worry had turned intocuriosity.

He had only heard of dragons in myths and legends. Now that he had heard about the existence of thedragon clan and witnessed the presence of a real dragon in Demon Palace, Jonathan’s curiosityburned brighter than ever.

Torrence was momentarily taken aback before he began to explain, “To delve into the topic of dragons,we must journey back to ancient times. Dragons were born kings, possessing innate magical abilitiesthat surpassed the need for spell recitation. Additionally, their physical strength was unparalleled.During that era, dragons reigned supreme as the undisputed rulers of all species.”

At that moment, Jonathan couldn’t help but draw a parallel between dragons and dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs were a greatly feared species, but they went into extinction. I guess the dragons are havingtrouble surviving too.

His curiosity only deepened, and he became increasingly intrigued by the topic.

“You must be wondering why the dragons ended up like this despite being such a fearsome species,correct?” Torrence asked.

Jonathan’s smile was tinged with weariness as he replied, “I am indeed curious about how the dragonsended up in their current state. However, deep down, I had a feeling that their downfall was inevitable.”

“Why do you think so? What led you to that conclusion?”

Jonathan pondered for a moment before responding, “Dragons possess immense power, both in theirformidable physical bodies and their mastery of magic, yet throughout history, we have seen a patternwhere smaller creatures tend to have longer lifespans. In the main world, formidable species likedinosaurs became extinct, while smaller organisms like microorganisms and plankton thrived. Even inthe face of drastic events like ice ages or nuclear explosions, they manage to survive. It makes mewonder if the same principle applies to dragons as well.”

Torrence’s face became pensive as he delved into deep contemplation. “Despite their immense power,dragons have a fundamental weakness.”

Jonathan’s quick thinking led him to a realization. “Their reproductive capabilities must be quite limited,right?” he asked.

On the sidelines, Yeverie attentively listened to the entire conversation, her focus unwavering.

Torrence acknowledged with a nod. “You’re astute, indeed. Dragons face difficulties in reproduction,taking a hundred years to breed a single dragon. Furthermore, the number of female dragons has been

declining over time, exacerbating the decline of their population. In contrast, the human population andother races such as orcs, elves, and dwarves have been growing steadily. The dragons saw this as athreat to their status and attempted to eliminate the other races, leading to the massive battle that tookplace eight hundred years ago. However, the dragons failed to protect their status and sufferedsignificant losses. After that defeat, the dragons retreated and isolated themselves from the world.”

He continued, “Fifty years ago, humans discovered the existence of dragons. By that time, the dragonclan had managed to recover their strength and size. Fearing a potential retaliation, the King ofParadiso joined forces with Supreme Sect to launch an attack on the dragons. In that battle, humansemerged victorious once again. The King of Dragons, known as Demon Dragon, was defeated byTheos. It was during this conflict that Demon Dragon earned his infamous title, as he caused significantcasualties among humans. Later, consumed by anger, Demon Dragon contemplated activating aforbidden spell that would bring about the destruction of both dragons and humans alike, but the kingand Theos were able to stop him in time and formed a contract with him. Following the battle, DemonDragon, along with his clan, was exiled to this place and forbidden from leaving.”

The story left Jonathan and Yeverie deep in thought. Jonathan, scratching his nose, pondered andsaid, “I understand that the dragons were initially in the wrong, but this time, they must feel incrediblywronged. They chose to hide, but humans provoked them, leaving them with no choice but to defendthemselves, right?”

“Arguing about who is right or wrong is futile in this situation,” Torrence interjected.
