Murmuring to herself, Jona Velli turned her dragon body and flew back in the direction she had come from.
However, to her surprise, she actually got lost.
That's right, the dignified white crystal time king had actually lost her way at sea.
Actually, Jona Velli couldn't be blamed; her mind hadn't been on the journey at all, as she was entirely focused on matters concerning herself and Friel.
Moreover, with the constant sea breezes, the scent she had left behind had long since been dispersed.
"Friel is simply too detestable!"
Jona Velli made a mental note of it, then flew higher into the sky.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the further you see; perhaps she would just happen to find her way.
With that thought, Jona Velli had already reached the height of the clouds.
The surrounding sea was visible at a glance.
But unfortunately, while her field of vision had broadened, she still couldn't recognize the way.
After all, increasing her altitude only meant she could see more distant seawater.
Just then, a small patch of land in the far distance caught Jona Velli's attention.
If it weren't for a dragon's excellent eyesight, she would never have been able to see it.
Looking at the only unusual thing in sight, Jona Velli decided to head over and check it out.
With a flap of her dragon wings, a gale howled.
A distance of over ten kilometers was like a stroll to Jona Velli.
In just a few seconds, she had already flown near the small rocky island.
At that moment, a graceful singing voice reached Jona Velli's ears.
"What is this?"
Jona Velli looked down, and her obsidian-gold eyes quickly spotted a group of humanoid creatures on the rocky island below.
Inheritance Memory automatically surfaced in her mind, providing an introduction.
—Sirens, a type of cursed sea monster with human bodies and fish tails, possessing mostly marine characteristics and usually having ugly faces.
They often use their beautiful singing to bewitch passing ships, luring them to run aground on reefs.
No one knows why they do this; perhaps it's a way to pass the time out of boredom, or perhaps it's revenge for their curse, but no dragon cares.
However... if one were to listen to them sing while doing... it would have a unique flavor. (A powerful, unparalleled, most handsome, and strongest mysterious white dragon who loves to collect the most beautiful things in the world.)
Seeing this introduction, Jona Velli's mouth twitched. "So damn narcissistic. But if they're Sirens, they should know the way."
"Though if it were the more intelligent Merfolk, that would be even better."
Saying this, Jona Velli flew downwards.
"Ahhh lalala~"
Lalala~"
...The Sirens were immersed in their own beautiful singing when suddenly, a very powerful force entered their perception.
The singing of all the Sirens stopped abruptly. As soon as they looked up, they were shrouded in shadow.
It was a giant dragon, even larger than the small rocky island they were on.
The Sirens were terrified and immediately jumped from the rocks into the sea.
Just then, a crisp snap of fingers was heard, and the sea surface, which had been lightly rippling, quickly froze into frost.
In the blink of an eye, the surface of the vast sea was sealed in ice.
Thump, thump, thump—
Sounds of impact against hard objects echoed as all the Sirens, without exception, crashed into the ice.
They quickly sat up, ignoring the pain in their foreheads, and looked at the landing dragon in horror.
Jona Velli's size was simply too massive; especially compared to these Sirens, who were barely over a meter tall, there was no comparison at all.
But being large had its downsides, namely that it was inconvenient to communicate with them.
With a thought, Jona Velli transformed into a dragon-kin girl.
She floated in mid-air, looking down at the Sirens as if they were trash.
Her lips parted slightly, and an indifferent voice rang out.
"You trashy small fry, take me to the Jesup Continent, or else there is only death for you."
As she spoke, light burst from Jona Velli's heterochromatic eyes, and dragon might descended, pinning all the Sirens to the ice.
The fear in their eyes grew even stronger; the powerful dragon might even made it impossible for them to speak.
Seeing that they remained silent, Jona Velli frowned slightly.
"small fry, you have no right to choose silence. There is only one price for silence."
And that is death!"
After saying this, Jona Velli prepared to act. Under the shadow of death, living beings often burst with unexpected potential.
Three Sirens spat out blood and hurriedly spoke.
"Replying to the... Great... True Dragon!"
"Your boundless dragon might... is too powerful... we cannot resist your strength! That is why..."
Jona Velli paused. She only then remembered that because of Friel's situation, her current temperament was quite irritable, and she hadn't held back her dragon might.
Although the intensity wasn't particularly high, it was still enough to give these Sirens a hard time.
However... as a True Dragon, there was no such thing as admitting a mistake to an inferior species. If anyone was wrong, it was them!
"Bastards!"
Jona Velli shouted violently. Two Sirens were scared to death on the spot, their internal organs crushed by the dragon might, while the others were in extreme agony.
Jona Velli's gaze was cold.
"Are you questioning me? Trash who only know how to make excuses for yourselves!"
Chromatic Dragons were fickle and unpredictable. They had only heard of it before, but today, these Sirens truly experienced the weight of that statement.
At least for this one here.
Despite saying that, Jona Velli still withdrew her dragon might.
The Sirens were saved, and they all slumped onto the ice.
Jona Velli couldn't actually kill them all. After all, if she killed them all, who would lead the way? Herself? What a joke.
"Do you know the route to the Jesup Continent?"
The Sirens trembled and looked at each other.
Jona Velli's brow furrowed, and she shouted in dissatisfaction.
"What are you looking at! Are you small-timers plotting how to scheme against me?"
"I advise you not to entertain such thoughts, or else..."
Jona Velli's dragon claw slammed onto the ice. The powerful force sent the Sirens flying, and the ice where she struck exploded, though it quickly returned to its original state.
"I will make you wish you were dead."
The Sirens were startled and hurriedly prostrated themselves respectfully, answering.
"No, Great True Dragon!"
"We... we were just discussing."
"Because we don't know the route to the Jesup Continent! We only know the locations of the rocky islands at sea."
As they finished, the aura of death loomed over them, and one of the Sirens shouted.
"We can ask the Merfolk for help!"
The Dragon Language Magic, Eighteen Arms of Cold Crystal, stopped abruptly, the frost dragon claws less than a centimeter away from the Sirens' heads.
Gulp—
The Sirens didn't dare look up and instinctively swallowed hard.
Her heterochromatic eyes narrowed slightly, and an indifferent voice sounded.
"Merfolk?"
Hearing that Jona Velli seemed interested, the Sirens scrambled to answer.
"Yes, Great True Dragon! We Sirens also belong to the sea races, and given our forms, we naturally know some friends from the Merfolk tribe!"
"They are more intelligent and agile than we are, and far more knowledgeable; they will surely know the route to the Jesup Continent!"
(Why isn't my author level increasing? Damned Heavenly Dao!)
