Chapter 394 - 388: Staying Out of It
Leon learned about the Astral Prism from the game.
He didn’t dare to guarantee he could use it effectively, so he specifically consulted Salovis, who seemed to have some insights.
In summary, the Githyanki had a son who inherited her ability to block spiritual energy, named Orpheus. Because when he charged while riding a dragon, a brilliant comet-like glow would appear, he was also known as the Comet Prince.
After the disappearance of Gith, the famous Comet War broke out between Vilakis and Orpheus, resulting in Orpheus’s defeat.
Vilakis declared outwardly that Orpheus was dead, but in fact, she secretly imprisoned Orpheus in a special cage, which is the Astral Prism.
As for why Vilakis didn’t kill Orpheus, it was because she needed him alive for his ability to block spiritual energy. This was key in resisting the revival of the Mind Flayer Empire, and also crucial to proving herself to the Githyanki, undoubtedly ensuring her rule over them.
A Red Dragon actually knew her greatest secret, Vilakis looked at Leon with an unfriendly expression.
Compared to Vilakis, Leon supported Orpheus more; at least in the game, the prince was quite charismatic, unlike some old witch who would frequently use a Praying Skill to kill players. Still, he wouldn’t meddle in Githyanki affairs for no reason.
To remind Vilakis not to do anything foolish, Leon returned to Dragon Form, transforming into an ultra-giant Red Dragon... He was long fed up with losing in aura to Vilakis.
In human form, Leon found it hard to pressure Vilakis, but an ultra-giant Red Dragon was another matter.
Vilakis, after all, was not easily frightened. She merely clenched her fist. But the two Red Dragon guards responsible for Vilakis’s safety, lazily lying on the side, were genuinely dumbfounded... Was this an ultra-giant Red Dragon or what? That’s supposedly a young dragon?
