Chapter 255 (2): Elemental Mantra x Dragonrider’s Mount
Wayne would say no to becoming Elemental Mantra’s sole owner!
He had never wanted exclusive ownership over the divine artifact. Just like how he partially owned Shadow Nightmare and Twilight Despair, he wanted someone else to stand ahead of him. Otherwise, if the goddesses turned their attention his way, someone following all three faiths like him would surely be in trouble.
Scummy lines like ‘I was just practicing for you’ or ‘I was only playing around with them’ definitely wouldn’t work on the goddesses.
Moula had an important responsibility to complete, though he couldn’t reveal the specifics of the mission. Thinking of something, he said to Wayne, “Perhaps I’ll need your help soon, but... it’s going to be dangerous. Be prepared. Familiarize yourself with Elemental Mantra in the meantime and get as strong as you can.‘
He spoke cryptically because he didn’t want to reveal too much, simply telling Wayne to be mentally prepared and sharing with him the control over Elemental Mantra. When Moula wasn’t using the sword, Wayne could transform into a knight to hone his combat skills.

“By the way, if I really do need your help, remember to find yourself a mount. The Life Armor will grant your mount incredible power, so even a regular racehorse will become a sentient magical creature with impressive capabilities.”
Wayne cocked his head. Would an undead warhorse work? Probably not.
“Wayne, do you have something in mind?”
“I’m thinking of a dragon.”
“A great dragon?!” Moula exclaimed in shock. Where would a dragon come from? Why hadn’t he ever hit a jackpot like that?
