Chapter 881: A Prisoner’s Proposal
“A Lunar Serpent.”
The one who answered Orion wasn’t Leonidas, but Alexander.
“The monster in the chains is a Lunar Serpent,” Alexander’s voice was laced with shock. “A Jiao on the verge of becoming a true dragon.”
The creature before them was draconic, but it was a world away from the brutish, winged lizards they were used to.
Normally, the dragons they encountered had massive, bat-like wings, four clawed feet, mouths full of sharp teeth, and long, winding tails tipped with spikes or barbs. But there were other, vastly different branches of dragonkind. There were Faerie Dragons and Tyrant Dragons, Bone Dragons and Sea-Drakes, even the divine Azure Dragons of legend. These creatures broke the mold—some had no wings, some had feathered pinions, and others had entirely different body structures.
“A Divine Dragon?” Leonidas’s voice trembled, his dragon soul form wavering with excitement. It was obvious this Lunar Serpent had captured his complete interest.
Only then did it fully register with Orion. The monster before them had no wings. It had four legs, and a body like a colossal python.
“Look at its head,” Alexander continued. “Those markings like fractured moonstones. That’s the Lunar Mark. The lunar affinity is tied to water. A creature like this can passively generate and control the fundamental laws of ice and cold. It can freeze the land themselves.”
His voice was filled with a strange reverence. “I never thought we’d find a mythological creature from the records of our last world, here.”
