Chapter 434: Unknown Champion
The next day, Logan was up early. He was ready to enter the labyrinth once again—this time, in earnest. He would be going in with only Scorch and Zephyr.
Of the two, his giant dinosaur seemed determined to reclaim his title as the strongest. That position was currently held by Myriad, which had started at level 108. Scorch, meanwhile, was nearing level 91. After the war, he had gained several levels by slaying the massive flaming hog and countless demons.
Still, it wasn’t nearly enough experience to reach the top spot again.
"Relax, buddy. With just us two, you’ll get there in no time."
Logan, riding on Scorch’s back, enjoyed the breeze drifting by. Overhead, Zephyr soared, wanting to return to Logan’s side after completing his duties in the war.
Narok had taken his place watching over the Pearl Isles. The other dragons were scattered across the continent, stationed in regions where demon attacks could still occur.
"So, Zephyr," Logan asked, taking advantage of the peaceful moment before reaching the labyrinth, "how are my aquatic friends doing?"
The large eagle flew a few meters above him, enhancing Scorch’s speed as they traveled down a road built specifically for monster use.
[Doing well. Fast levels in sea. They are busy searching for water spirit. Will tell you when found.]
Zephyr suddenly rose higher into the sky, circling above them. He wasn’t trying to overtake Scorch—only stretching his wings, keeping his form at its best for what was to come.
[That is nice. I do want to find that one—we didn’t meet properly last time.]
Logan switched to speaking through his Empathic Link. He glanced up and saw that the day was perfect, but even that didn’t ease his mind.
