Chapter 683: Agreement
His words made Tang Yin frown once again. "Untie you? That would be a stupid thing for me to do. You are a thousand times more powerful than me. If I untie you, I would die without hesitation." He replied firmly, making the dragon scoff.
"Hahahaha, boy, do you really think I can't kill you? If I wanted to, I would have done it already." He replied as he burst out laughing.
His laughter annoyed Tang Yin, who opened his mouth to speak. Yet, right at that very moment, Tang Yin felt an attack coming to him and 'broke' something in him.
'Attacked the System!?' Tang Yin, in shock, jumped back and moved his hand sharply towards the dragon.
"System Core!" he shouted, and suddenly, a large number of strange chains emerged from one side to the other as the System Core materialized above. The System Core enclosed a part of the dragon in a cage of blue chains, very similar to the small tubes he saw when he was in the System dimension.
This was the first time Tang Yin had tried materializing the Core, and although he already knew he could, this time, he realized that what he had done was a grave mistake.
He suddenly spat out blood and almost fainted instantly, which caused the chains to partially fade.
'Shit... All my power was consumed in an instant,' He thought with difficulty. He immediately used the Control Law Power Source to sustain the lack of power in his body, and this allowed him to breathe.
But on the other side, the dragon, who was in shock from Tang Yin's attack, remained silent and did not move. His eyes shone brightly after seeing this.
He could feel that all those strange chains had tremendous power and could explode at any moment. Although he did not fear the explosions they could cause, the nature of the chains left him in shock.
After a few seconds like that, the dragon returned to normal and looked at Tang Yin.
"This is an interesting power you have. Forget it; I won't make your life miserable. I just wanted to show you that killing you is easy for me," he said, lifting one of his paws and showing a strange key resting there.
"You see? Even though you have an amazing and unique source of power in there, I only attacked you to steal this from you. Although I'm surprised you were able to counterattack that attack, I can tell you have supreme talent." He replied, teasing a little, though not in a bad way.
He actually enjoyed it. It seemed as if he was an old man, watching a young generation rising up that was incredibly amazing, in a way that caused him to rejoice.
Tang Yin looked at the keys in shock and then looked inside his inventory. 'He stole it?'
But soon after, the key flew towards him and fell in front of him once again, so Tang Yin looked up.
The dragon then lay back down and closed his eyes, removed the power surrounding the place signaled Tang Yin to leave. "You may leave. If you want the Primordial Treasures, you will find them in the Higher Grounds. I've seen millions of people try to obtain them, but they still can't get either of the two there. There is one of them that you will need that key to get, but don't throw the key away after you use it there, you will need it later, for when you find another Eternal Sea." He said and then opened one eye.
"By the way, when you use my Castle, make sure that a person of the dragon race is its owner. That Castle will not accept another owner who is not of the dragon race. And when you use the scepter, you took... Well, good luck getting someone compatible." He said with a chuckle at the end and then closed his eyes to fall asleep again.
The power Tang Yin had cast dissipated at that moment, and Tang Yin fell forward in pain.
'The Eternal Sea will hit me if I move. I can't seem to leave.' He thought and looked at Qingyue, who was holding him with fear in her eyes.
She had been listening to everything, and although she understood almost nothing of what they were talking about, she stood by Tang Yin's side, ready to defend him throughout.
But suddenly, Tang Yin was injured for no reason, and she could not understand why he was injured, which frightened her. She hadn't felt or seen anything.
"What's wrong, Tang Yin?" she asked in fright.
Tang Yin shook his head. "It's nothing. I got hurt by the skill I threw." He replied and looked at the dragon.
"You created this world, didn't you?" he asked, and the dragon opened his eyes to look at him.
"I don't plan to help you if you don't untie me, so forget whatever you have in mind. Just because I won't kill you doesn't mean I'm going to fulfill your whims." He replied, and Tang Yin nodded.
"I can untie you if you help me get to those places where the treasures will appear. I must tell you that although I have the Law of Control, I have not yet learned to control it perfectly. But I can learn to do it quickly, and with your strength and my power, we might be able to do something."
His answer attracted the attention of the dragon, who stared at him. "How do I know you don't want to deceive me? You can go out into the world freely; I can't. If you leave after I help you get all the treasures, then I will have lost a lot." Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire
"I can take a soul oath that I will try to help you once I get it."
"Oh? Do you know that Divine Soul soul oaths are so sacred that if you don't intend to keep them, you will be killed?"
"I am aware of it. And it does me no harm to untie you since you live in that Primordial World, but for my own safety, I must do it just as I am about to leave here."
A small exchange of words submerged the close atmosphere in tension despite the fact that they both agreed on what they were going to do.
The small exchange of words made them both realize that they both had things to lose, mainly because the dragon knew that Tang Yin asked him for help with those Primordial Treasures.
Those were two treasures that, if he were asked, he would not like to bestow on someone else. It cost him millions of years to defend them back then, plus they were the main method to get a certain thing he wanted.
But could he ever get them? As long as he was still here, he would never get out, and he could not see the time when the chains that bound him would wear out. Perhaps it would be several billion more years before he could see the sunlight again.
The dragon sighed and nodded. "Well, I can do that. It's a good decision you've made, but I'll tell you what: If you don't untie me, even if half my body is destroyed, I'll fight to the end with my eternity to escape from here and find you," the dragon replied.
