Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 642 - 031: The World in the Palm (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

"Oh? It seems there's an old acquaintance?"

Deep within the Dragon's Nest,

sensing the scene unfolding in front of the Dragon Nest Hall, Austin's clone displayed a hint of surprise on his face.

Since the Dragon Nest Palace began to generate a certain faith-like power, every move within the entire Dragon Nest Hall was almost imprinted in his mind, as if it were his own domain.

Memories from many years ago surfaced in his mind.

Speaking of which, this kid named Edward caused quite some damage to the budding Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe back then. However, after coming out of seclusion, I suppressed the entire Black Fox Mercenary Corps, and that fellow Edward was slapped away by me. Later, the Dragon Nest Beastmen sent soldiers to search for him, but they didn't find any traces.

Thought he was dead, but unexpectedly, he's still alive now.

As for that guy named Valen, he was originally the captain of the Black Fox Mercenary Corps. However, after being captured, he silently responded without reading the situation to join the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe.

In contrast, the vice-captain of the mercenary corps, Gory, pledged allegiance to me early on and made significant contributions during the development of the Dragon Nest Tribe. He is now one of the three chief generals of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, also occupying the highest position a human holds within the Blue Dragon Kingdom.

Now,

that guy named Valen stands in front of Edward, seemingly having submitted to him.

But what exactly has Valen been through, why did he change his initial decision, and when did he start to join?

Austin doesn't know,

So many years have passed, and the Dragon Nest Tribe has grown to a considerable size. Who would specifically remember the choice of a small character back then?

"Back then, Gory reminded me that Edward and Valen were as close as brothers, very deep, and could possibly cause trouble in the future... Ten over years have passed, and the two now stand on opposing sides... interesting!"

A look of interest appeared on Austin's face.

After more than a decade of separation, meeting again,

their stances have become opposing,

So how will they choose next?

Austin was about to use the Power of Space to project the scene in front of the Dragon Nest Hall to watch this "brotherly battle" as a bystander.

However, at this moment,

a wave of space within the Dragon Nest drew Austin's attention back.

Austin raised his head,

looking at the empty void in front, with a faint smile, he looked at the shadow cast by the great hall above as if he could see a flower.

Before the shadow hidden in the line of sight, drenched in cold sweat, could prepare to use Shadow Escape to flee,

a clear voice echoed in the air.

"I was just preparing to watch a rare, interesting show; don't be naughty, okay? How about we play a quieter game instead?"

Austin's voice, echoing leisurely in the Dragon Nest Hall.

Within the shadow,

even though he thought he hid exceptionally well, the thief within the shadow felt as if all secrets were laid bare to the other, and a sudden sense of dread descended in his heart.

"Damn! What on earth is this person! Isn't this the Dragon Nest, where did that Blue Dragon go?!"

Danger loomed over his mind, flashing warnings wildly.

The face of the Legendary Thief hidden in the darkness drastically changed, instantly using the Shadow Law to escape, intending to get away from here.

"In the past, I've heard a story of a monkey unable to escape from a palm. Since you have the courage to come before me, you must be confident in your escape method. So, how about we try this game?"

In the leisurely voice, without caring about the thief's reaction within the shadow, Austin stretched out his palm.

A pure white, jade-like palm, flawless.

"This is my right hand. If you can escape from the range of my palm, then I'll spare your life and allow you to leave..."

For the mysterious figure's absurd words within the Dragon's Nest, the thief within the shadow showed no reaction.

He didn't know who this mysterious man appearing in the Dragon Nest was, nor did he want to understand what the nonsense meant. But he knew that the other might indeed have discovered him.

Even if it wasn't this mysterious man who discovered, some terrifying presence behind him must have already placed their attention on him, noticing his trail!

It was certainly a level of power beyond his resistance,

otherwise, such frantic warning signs would never arise in his heart!

Fortunately,

he also had a trump card.

Shadow Secret Technique: Space Escape!

Though it was unknown what action the Legendary Thief in the shadow performed, a mass of ink-like darkness suddenly twisted, the space oscillated as minute magical power fluctuations rippled, disappearing in an instant.

As a rare Legendary Thief to comprehend the Shadow Law, this person had nearly perfected the power of the Shadow Law.

As long as shadows and darkness existed in this world, he could meld into the darkness, retracting all breath into the shadow, unrivaled in his concealment ability.

At the same time, he could use the power of shadow to conduct space transitions, appearing tens of thousands of miles away in a moment.

This instant teleportation transition, because it belongs to the power of shadow, even Legendary Powerhouses who have mastered the Space Law couldn't stop it, which is precisely why this thief's ability to escape was incomparably strong, far surpassing other Legendary Powerhouses.

And this, is precisely the reason he ventured alone into the Dragon Nest Palace, intending to uncover its mysteries.

Because,

He is confident that within this Dragon Nest Beastmen's power, there is absolutely no one who can restrain him.

The next moment,

From an unknown far distance,

From somewhere in the shadows,

Thick darkness silently surged, and the thief's figure emerged from the shadowy darkness, appearing under the shade of a tree, exhaling a long breath.

Heart pounding.

"I didn't expect that within the deepest part of the Dragon Nest, there's actually a human, and such terrifying danger exists. I wonder how things are on their side. I hope they can detect signs early and retreat, or else....."

Thinking about that prior sense of dread, the thief also displayed an unpleasant expression.

However, at this moment, he had already used the power of Shadow Law, escaping over tens of thousands of miles within an instant, far beyond the Dragon Nest Beastmen's territory. Even if that terrifying figure lurking behind finds out he left, tracing him would be impossible, they must be fuming with rage.

"Hmph, arrogance is your greatest mistake. You must be dumbfounded now! As long as the message is reported back, by then..."

The legendary thief snorted coldly,

Escaping danger, the lingering scare in his heart made him curse silently.

Unsure where this is,

As he was about to step out from under the tree's shade,

Suddenly, his steps halted.

Frozen on the spot, he stared blankly at the sky, mouth agape,

Fear,

Boundless fear was etched on his face, a chill rose from the depths of his spine, freezing him rigid, every muscle in his body unable to move.

As if he had fallen into an ice cave in the dead of winter, a bucket of icy water poured over him, emanating coldness.

"What..... what is this?!!!"

Gazing at the sky,

Infinite fear and despair enveloped his heart, nearly robbing him of his ability to think.

In the dim sky,

No,

Above him was not the sky,

But a face,

With a faint smile, looking at him as if watching an ant struggling,

Like a demon's gaze,

Covering the entire sky,

Filling the heavens, infinitely magnified,

The entire world, beneath this face's overlook!

Even in the legendary thief's century-long life, filled with countless events, battles woven through his existence, at this moment, witnessing this scene, this battle-hardened legendary thief found his legs weak, collapsing to the ground.

Endless despair, like a dark abyss consuming him.

...

In the outside world, 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Austin's lips curled in a barely perceptible smile, peering at the palm of his outstretched right hand.

In the palm, the void rippled like a water surface, with visible waves to the naked eye.

At the center of those void ripples, something encompassed the entire world, gathering all the world's light and shadows, space and time seemingly twisting independently there.

That is.... a world!

A world at the junction of reality and illusion, shrunk unknowably by an absolute great power, quietly suspended above Austin's right hand.

And the figure of the legendary thief, like a speck of dust, resided within.
