Chapter 610
"The Heaven Defier is sealed beneath the coastal mountain range connecting the West and the Central regions, isn’t it?" said Ian as he set down the bottle.
That alone was enough to make Archeas’s already-wide eyes flare even further.
"Impossible. H-How... Just how?" It stammered, its voice laced with shock and disbelief.
Seeing the mighty Platinum Dragon so shaken, Ian couldn’t help but smirk.
"Just happened to find out."
As Archeas gaped, seemingly speechless, Ian brought the cup to his lips. The only reason Ian could stay so composed was that he had long accepted the Heaven Defier as an opponent he would one day have to face.
I wanted to hit max level and finish the White Mage quest before fighting it, if possible...
But things not going according to plan was nothing new. Of course, the decision wasn’t based solely on his desire to save Archeas. He was certain Archeas’s plan would ultimately fail.
If left alive, the Heaven Defier would become the hidden boss after the main ending. Even if Archeas sacrificed itself, it would only delay the inevitable.
In that case, keeping Archeas alive would be far more beneficial in the long run.
Besides, Ian had already slain the Heaven Defier once in the game—though it had taken countless deaths, and even then, he’d only managed it through sheer luck.
Now that it was a reality, the dragon would no doubt be even stronger. Still, Ian had plenty of information to rely on, and he wasn’t planning to depend on that alone.
