Chapter 769: Chapter 655: The Last Dragon in the World

“Why should I believe you?”

Zuo Fang remained unmoved.

Moreover, while conversing with the youth, though he appeared calm and collected on the surface, his muscles and nerves were still on guard, ready to react to any movement from the other party.

He didn’t know if the other was truly as defenseless as he seemed, but this was someone who could easily kill even his own teammates.

Zuo Fang had no desire to challenge the thinking of a madman.

The youth blinked, curiously asking, “Why do I need to make you believe? If we don’t see eye to eye, why not just fight it out?”

Zuo Fang: “…”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

That made sense, and he was left speechless.

Glancing at the youth in bare feet, Zuo Fang shook his head and gestured towards the direction of the Holy Court Knight Army. Soon, someone stepped forward to intercept the City Defense Forces that were surrounding them, intending to attack.

After quelling the chaos that was about to start again, Zuo Fang then turned to the youth and said, “Come to the Tunus Church of Light, if you dare.”

With that, Zuo Fang leaped off the building first, his figure light and swift as the wind, quickly disappearing into the night.

The crimson in the youth’s eyes had slightly receded. He glanced at Zuo Fang’s retreating figure, then turned to look in the direction of the city’s eastern gate, with a sneer.

…

Outside the city.

To the east of Tunus City-State was a dense forest.

The pale-faced girl continued her rapid running pace after leaving the city, not stopping until she had left the pursuers far behind. Only then did she pause to catch her breath.

She hadn’t expected her way out of the city to be like this.

Although that terrifying youth had caused widespread destruction, drawing much attention from the City Defense Forces, she had also suffered considerable injuries due to his pursuit.

“Cough cough…”

The girl suppressed her coughing with her hand, spitting out a mouthful of dirty blood.

She had just taken a direct punch from that person, the strong impact feeling as if she were struck by an artillery shell, nearly blowing her to pieces on the spot.

The escape thereafter had left her on edge, in terrible shape.

Now that she had finally expelled the pent-up breath, the girl felt much easier to breathe. She raised her head to look in the direction of the city-state, her silver pupils shimmering slightly in the moonlit night.

That person just now, he definitely wasn’t from the city.

The moment he had drawn near at the beginning, she had experienced a strange sensation, as if she had encountered a natural enemy, shuddering with fear.

It was also for this reason that she had managed to evade his first strike in time.

The girl touched her chest thoughtfully.

That instinct wasn’t her own, but rather an inherent instinct in her Character Card’s body. Hence, she surmised that the youth was very likely the target of her mission.

—Dragon!

The giant dragon had left Black Dragon Island.

…

…

The Tunus Church.

Zuo Fang watched the youth start to help himself to the food, speechlessly saying, “You really dared to follow me here.”

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

The youth held a roasted lamb leg, carelessly sitting atop the altar of the church, swinging his legs.

—Fortunately, the Followers of Light had all been sent away, or else, upon seeing this scene, they would most certainly fly into a rage, and, capable of fighting or not, they would need to drag down this blasphemer who dared to defile the sacred ground!

Even though Zuo Fang was a loyal Sun Knight, he was now more or less in a state of mutiny, without a shred of faith in the Divine Spirits from the script.

But for the sake of his own performance, he still feigned indignation and spoke, “Get down from there, the altar of the God of Light is not for you to desecrate!”

The youth glanced at him with those red eyes, didn’t argue, and with a twist of his body, settled in a different spot.

He sat on the sculpted stone column next to the praying altar.

However, the stone column was rather narrow, so he crossed his legs, his eyes intently fixed on Zuo Fang down the steps.

Zuo Fang felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

The kid’s eyes were odd, compelling and aggressive, like he was sizing up a toy, or as if through him, he could see something amusing. The dark depths of the red pupils also hinted at an eerie blackness, making one unconsciously feel intimidated when making eye contact.

Although it didn’t intimidate him, he didn’t like it either.

“What’s your name?”

Zuo Fang impatiently interrupted his scrutiny.

The boy lifted an eyebrow, “Little Black.”

Zuo Fang: “…”

Are you serious with that name? Moreover, you actually have no shame in stating it so formally; even if the character really has this name, normal players would still change it, right?

Eating lamb’s leg, the boy said, “My name is pronounced differently from you humans; even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand.”

Now it was Zuo Fang’s turn to raise an eyebrow: “Go ahead.”

“δράκων.”

Zuo Fang: “…Pretentious?”

The boy: “The beginning should be pronounced ‘dra’.”

As he corrected his pronunciation, the boy unabashedly cast a mocking glance, the feeling of regarding him as a toy intensified.

Zuo Fang felt like he was being toyed with, so he decided not to dwell on this issue anymore.

He chuckled and said, “Indeed, very pretentious. So you said earlier you knew about the giant dragon, but in fact, it’s clear that you are the dragon from Black Dragon Island, right?”

As he spoke, he stared straight into the boy’s eyes, unafraid of the other’s eerie and odd presence.

A brilliant smile spread across the boy’s face: “And then?”

A glint flickered in Zuo Fang’s gaze.

And then—

He had to go and ask the Papal first….

The Order of the Sun Knights only knew that their Papal was obsessed with finding the giant dragon and wanted to make the dragon his own power, but they really didn’t know what the arrangements would be afterward.

Are we supposed to persuade the dragon to believe in the God of Light on the spot?

Give me a break.

Creatures like giant dragons don’t have faith.

By not having faith, it doesn’t merely imply that they’re unwilling to offer their belief; it means that even if dragons worshiped the God of Light with sincerity and true love, they still wouldn’t produce the Power of Faith.

The specifics are unclear to the Holy Court in this age of dwindling mystery.

But what has always been clearly stated in the Holy Court records is that the dragon race lacks faith and there’s no need to force it upon them.

As for why they lack faith?

They just do, why ask so many questions!

…

After confirming that the Holy Court’s light wouldn’t repel the dragon youth, Zuo Fang returned to the Dawn Castle by the sea where the Order of the Sun Knights was located, intending to relay the news to the Underground Temple.

And as usual, the barefoot boy followed behind him, with a different type of meat in his hand.

As for where the meat came from…

Picked up along the way.

“By the way, aside from you, are there no other giant dragons on Black Dragon Island?”

Zuo Fang suddenly asked, recalling something. The Order of the Sun Knights sent to Dragon Island had reported no trace of giant dragons, which could mean the only dragon was the one who had come to the city.

The boy hummed a response.

Zuo Fang asked again, “Then, apart from Black Dragon Island, are there other places with dragons?”

“Nope.”

With a bizarre smile, the boy said, “I’m the only dragon left in this world. If I die, the giant dragons will be completely extinct.”

He stated the fact without any avoidance.

Indeed, it was a fact.

This was also the reason the system issued the side quest “Carry on the Black Dragon Bloodline”; after all, if it wasn’t carried on, the species would truly be gone in a hundred years.

And he triggered this side quest because he accidentally activated the Character Card.
