Evolving by devouring from a young dragon

Items used to suppress the dead...

Alduin glanced at the fire spirit chick huddled between his dragon horns, and a thought stirred within him.

The properties of embers are rebirth and nirvana, making them the perfect counter to death.

The next thing is a treasure that can stabilize space... and he happens to have one too.

Deep within the sea of ​​souls, the silvery-white moon soul quietly circulates.

Auduin narrowed his dark golden vertical pupils.

It's too much of a coincidence that all three ingredients were available.

But that's not the most crucial point. If he really uses these three things to reinforce the seal, then he will lose two important items, one of which is one of his top combatants.

This was something he found hard to accept.

He lowered his head, his dark golden dragon eyes flickering in the cave.

The Moon Soul's attributes are stability and purity, which greatly benefit his soul.

The Fire Spirit had even signed a symbiotic contract with him, making it a powerful weapon in his possession.

If we use them together as sealing materials, we might be able to bring peace, but... what about after that?

Alduin stretched out his dragon claws and carefully lifted the fledgling bird huddled between his dragon horns.

The little guy seemed to sense his emotions, opened his eyes drowsily, gently pecked his fingertip with his beak, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

"……no."

He withdrew his dragon claws, returned the fledgling to the dragon horns, and turned his gaze to the silvery-white moon soul deep within his soul sea.

We must find an alternative.

The lich's records indicate that what is needed are items to suppress death and things to stabilize space. Moonsoul can do both, but he doesn't want to use them.

However, there are other alternatives in the world. Even if they are of lower quality, as long as they can fulfill the ritual, they are sufficient.

Alduin's heart stirred slightly, and he then summoned the goblin Grim.

"Go, bring that silver moon elf to me."

Grimm accepted the order and rushed out, bringing Elunea back in no time.

Auduin spoke coldly:

"In the Moonlit Forest, is there a sacred object that can replace the Moon Soul?"

Elunea paused slightly, then frowned:

"Yes, but it doesn't have the ability to carry a soul; it only possesses the pure power of moonlight..."

She seemed to have misunderstood something, but Auduin was too lazy to correct her.

"Where is it? Take me there directly?"

Elunea hesitated for a moment, "That thing... is the Moon Pivot Stone."

"The Sacred Stone of the Moon Pivot?"

"In ancient times, the Elven race worshipped the Moon Goddess in the center of the sacred site, and the sacred stone that has carried the moonlight for thousands of years is called the Moon Pivot."

Elunea's tone became complicated, "It does indeed possess the pure power of moonlight, and theoretically it can replace the Moon Soul... However, Dragon Lord, that sacred land has been occupied by the Fallen Treants, and we cannot enter."

"If we can't get in, then we'll fight our way in."

Alduin rose to his feet, and the dragon's might spread around him like a tidal wave.

"Pass down the order to prepare for a full-scale attack on Moonlit Forest."

Elunea hesitated, "Dragon Lord, we just went through a great battle, those..."

Auduin interrupted her: "This time, I'll lead the team myself."

She had no choice but to take a deep breath and kneel on one knee: "Yes, sir."

After she left, Alduin turned his gaze back to the Moon Soul in the Sea of ​​Souls.

"Keep this for now; it will be very useful later."

He muttered to himself, then began to think about how to obtain the next thing.

Elunea mentioned the Moon Pivot Stone, which has carried the moonlight for thousands of years and should contain a large amount of moonlight power. It is effective in restraining the power of the Void Skeleton Dragon and can be used as an item to counteract death.

But treasures that can stabilize space...

Alduin frowned, muttering to himself, "A treasure for stabilizing space?"

Do we really have to use Moon Soul?

He hesitated for a moment...

Just then, a boulder nearby suddenly spoke up in a deep voice: "Boss, I do have a way."

Auduin looked over and saw that it was Blue who was speaking.

This guy always stays in his dragon's lair, but usually he's as still as a boulder, making it hard to notice his presence.

"explain."

Auduin raised an eyebrow.

Blue walked closer and held up a huge finger, gesturing in the air:

"We, the Stone Giants, all have a home called the Summit of the Giant Stone Mountain. There, something called the Heart of the Earth gathers, which can stabilize the ley lines and space, just like what you said about 'stabilizing space', Boss."

Auduin's mind raced, and he quickly found the corresponding record in the heritage.

The origin of the stone giants is not in the mountains or on the surface, but hidden within the folds of the earth. Only the stone giants themselves can lead the way there. Ordinary races could spend their entire lives traversing the continent and still not be able to touch that place.

Every stone giant born from the earth's veins is guided by memories from the summit of the giant stone mountain.

The Heart of the Earth, being the essence condensed within the earth's veins, does indeed possess stable properties and can be used as a material.

Auduin pondered to himself.

The Moon Pivot Sacred Stone is responsible for suppressing death and restraining the Ancient Dragon of Ruins;

The Heart of the Earth is responsible for stabilizing the space and anchoring the sealing nodes;

Gibor Dragon Crystal serves as a negative energy hub, neutralizing the source of the ancient dragons' decline.

In this way, his combat power, Fire Spirit and Moon Soul, can be preserved.

He looked up at Blue, his voice carrying a hint of scrutiny:

"Can you get it?"

In his memory, the Heart of the Earth was no simple thing. Although he didn't know how to obtain it, Blue was just a sixth-tier stone giant, so whether he could get it was still unknown.

"Furthermore, I'm afraid only you can reach the summit of the giant rock, and time is of the essence..."

Auduin continued to add.

Blue paused for two seconds, then nodded heavily and replied in a firm tone, "You can always trust Blue."

"Be careful on the road, and whatever you do, don't die." Alduin paused. "If things get hopeless... prioritize survival."

Blue grinned. "I'm like a rock, the kind that can't be broken."

Having said that, he turned and strode away, disappearing into the night.

Auduin looked away.

Now that all the materials have substitutes, and since Bru answered in this way, there shouldn't be any major problems. The only thing to worry about is how many people will die in the battle of Moonlit Forest.

As for failure?

This was not within his consideration.

Alduin was preparing to return to the dragon's lair for a short rest when he heard hurried footsteps outside.

Grimm scrambled in, his face a mixture of excitement and nervousness:

"Great, magnificent Dragon King! A troop of cavalry has arrived! Silver armor, golden manes, riding war lions—the Lion Clan! The Lion Clan Knights of the Border!"

Alduin's dark golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly.

Lion Clan?

He certainly knew this race; it shouldn't be called a race, but rather the Lion Kingdom.

However, unlike the prosperous human and dwarven magical empires that occupy a third of the entire continent, the Lion Clan is only a small country with a place in the North.

But their ability to secure a place in the monster-infested North was not due to luck, but to their true strength.

That is their fearsome existence, the Lion Knights.
