Chapter 282: Katelina, you’re only mine!!!
At the hideout where Marla stayed, she never ceased channelling all her energy, determined to provide Devon with the strength needed to overpower Merlot. Her every breath was focused on this singular goal, knowing that the balance of power hinged on her efforts.
As she toiled, Marla succeeded in locating the brass dragon egg—a relic of immense potential. Preparing it for hatching was no small feat, but she had made a critical decision: she would keep the green dragon egg for herself and offer the brass dragon’s power to Devon. She believed this sacrifice would be enough to tip the scales in their favour, making Devon far more powerful than Merlot.
The process was gruelling, requiring every ounce of her energy and concentration. Marla devoted herself fully to the task, knowing that failure was not an option. The moment the brass dragon egg finally hatched, she didn’t allow herself even a moment of rest. Immediately, she began the intricate ritual to transfer the newborn dragon’s immense energy to Devon.
Using the connection she had forged with Devon’s life essence, Marla created a bridge between the dragon’s raw power and Devon’s blood thread. She could feel the life force of the dragon pulsing through her, nearly overwhelming in its intensity. But she held firm, channelling it with precision, guiding the energy to where it was needed most.
As the transfer continued, Marla’s body trembled under the strain, sweat dripping down her face as she fought to maintain control. She knew that if she faltered now, everything would be lost. The air around her crackled with energy, the atmosphere thick with the potent magic she wielded.
Finally, with a final surge of power, she completed the transfer. The energy flowed into Devon’s blood thread, empowering him beyond anything he had ever experienced. Marla collapsed to the ground, utterly spent, but with a satisfied smile on her lips. She had done it. Devon now had the power to face Merlot head-on.
All she could do now was wait and hope that her sacrifice would be enough to turn the tide in their favour.

Meanwhile, back at Merlot’s hideout, Devon smirked triumphantly as Floria helped him get back on his feet. The power coursing through him was intoxicating, and he relished every moment of it.
