Chapter 36: New Problem
Fenric, meanwhile, moved to the side of the chamber and sat down cross-legged, slipping into a meditative posture. His breathing slowed, his presence grew still.
And then—he closed his eyes.
The world around him faded.
When he opened them again, he was no longer in the training chamber—but standing at the edge of a vast, tranquil expanse.
The Cerulean Sea.
His Mana Sea.
Within the Cerulean Sea, the calm waves glimmered with quiet, radiant energy... but Fenric’s eyes narrowed.
A ripple passed through the sea—followed by a massive shadow.
Then—
BOOM.
A gargantuan figure slowly emerged from the deeper part of the sea, so enormous it felt like the entire Mana Sea had shifted to make room for him.
Lying there casually, half-submerged in shimmering azure, was a dragon—but not just any dragon. His sheer size was ridiculous. His upper body was bare, carved from divine muscle, scaled arms folded behind his head as if he were lounging on a beach instead of floating in magical essence. Horns like obsidian thrones crowned his head, and his deep voice rumbled like thunder from beneath the ocean.
