Chapter 160: Sevrak, The Dragon Rider
"You really ranked up, didn’t you?" Malrik asked with a smirk.
There wasn’t a major change in Adyr’s appearance, but a glance into his eyes revealed something new—an intense glint, as if a vibrant universe had taken root behind them.
Adyr wasn’t surprised he noticed. "Yeah, thanks to you."
He hadn’t even used much of the 6,000 crystals Malrik had paid him, but the help had made a significant difference.
"Thanks to us? Don’t do that. A practitioner only rises through their own talent. Don’t get modest and start giving away credit," Malrik said, patting his shoulder. He wasn’t wrong.
"Alright, let’s go. Don’t keep him waiting. He can be... aggressive." Malrik quickly steered the conversation back to the point, then mounted his Frost Wyvern.
Rather than manifesting his wings, Adyr climbed onto the wyvern with him. Showing up half-naked to meet a Rank 4 practitioner—especially one with a title—wasn’t exactly a great first impression.
Soon, the two were gliding through the air, approaching the place where the massive black dragon had landed.
The dragon’s electric-blue eyes, glowing like storm-charged skies, were lazily fixed on Colossith. The behemoth, on the other hand, seemed entirely unbothered, still focused on what remained of its meal. Its calm, almost indifferent nature was unmistakable.
Adyr couldn’t help but wonder what it would look like if the two titans clashed. They seemed to be complete opposites.
The black dragon was clearly a Nether-path Spark—likely with immense [Resilience]. Colossith, despite being from the Astra path, was infamous for its physical durability and reflective hide that turned many attacks back on their caster.
