Chapter 457 Dragon Essence Ball


    Whether it was protecting rissa''s daughter or breaking the seal, both tasks were exceedingly


    difficult.


    This was because Theos had already known what had transpired. Moreover, Jonathan and Torrence


    were on Theos'' hit list. The two of them were unable to fend for themselves, let alone protect another


    person.


    rissa said, “Chosen One, I''ve used some enchantments on you earlier. I can see that your body is of


    great importance. Even though you know nothing right now, your achievements won''t be poorer than


    Lynn''s if you work hard and cultivate.” She then paused and added, “However, you still need to live


    through it all.”


    Jonathan was slightly taken aback.


    rissa continued, “I can''t really tell what kind of blood courses through your veins, but I do know that


    it''s especially strange. You can convert your blood intobat force. It just so happens that dragon


    blood is the strongest in the world. Later, I will feed you the purest blood my body can produce. After


    you ingest my dragon blood, your base cultivation will increase alongside your damage output. When


    that happens, it''ll be up to you to face the puppet primordial spirit. This is the first point. Secondly, you


    are an Omni-Element Magician, and thus, dragon magic is suitable for you to cultivate. Dragon magic


    does not utilize verbal incantations, so no human has been able to cultivate it. Since you are an Omni-


    Element Magician, you canmune with all the magic elements out there. It would be for the best if


    you cultivated dragon magic.”


    rissa paused briefly and added, “All of this, including your arrival, seems to have been


    predetermined by heaven''s will.”


    Jonathan was stunned.


    Suddenly, he understood something.


    Jonathan understood why Leahra wanted him to enter Moranta.


    Leahra wanted him to consume dragon blood.


    That realization dawned on Jonathan.


    Needless to say, even Leahra was not so powerful that she could ount for everything. However,


    Leahra was aware that the mysterious dragon race existed in Moranta. The purpose of the portal


    Leahra made was to enable Jonathan toe and test his luck.


    It was simr to how everyone knew the special economic zone was a ce of wealth and that it was


    easy to make money there.


    However, not everyone who went there could make it big.


    Right now, one could say that Jonathan was quite lucky.


    Of course, Jonathan wouldn''t have been able to reach this point if he did not have sufficient knowledge


    or courage.


    He had already experienced a lot of perilous situations when he arrived in the snowy tundra. Anyone


    else who had to go through what Jonathan encountered would have long perished with no traces left to


    be found.


    There was no doubt that Jonathan was very lucky. Apart from his luck, his wisdom and virtue yed a


    big role in getting him here. If he had been a selfish person, he would not have gotten this far.


    When faced with the choice of selecting either Torrence or Moose earlier, selecting Torrence meant that


    Jonathan was courting death. However, this was a crucial step that Jonathan had taken. Due to the


    faith and the virtue in his heart, he put his own life aside and chose to help Torrence without hesitation.


    It was only by helping Torrence that Jonathan was able toe so far.


    When Torrence heard what rissa said, he became excited too. He had always wanted Jonathan to


    cultivate magic to oppose Theos.


    Jonathan couldn''t help but say, “Dragon magic is powerful, but even if I cultivate it and be the


    most invincible person in Moranta, what of it? This power ispletely useless in the main world. I am


    an inhabitant of the main world and I will inevitably return to it.”


    “But if you don''t cultivate dragon magic, then Lynn will eventually kill you,” replied rissa. “Forget


    returning to the main world; you''re not even going to survive. Therefore, even though dragon magic is


    useless in the main world, you still have to cultivate it. On top of that, you have no mana. If you don''t


    cultivate dragon magic, how on earth are you going to return to the main world if you can''t even


    summon a portal?”


    Jonathan was rendered speechless. Before this, he had thought of relying on Theos to return to the


    main world, but it would seem that Jonathan had to scrap that idea.


    I guess it''s all up to me now.


    “Have youe to a decision?” asked rissa, having noticed the change in Jonathan''s expression.


    Jonathan smiled wryly and said, “I have no other choice.”


    rissa sighed gently and responded, “If that is the case, can you agree to the conditions I''d set


    before?”

    “I will do everything in my power to fulfill both tasks, but I cannot guarantee that I willplete them,”


    said Jonathan.


    “Given how righteous you are, Chosen One, I have absolute faith in your words,” replied rissa. “All


    you have to do is agree. As for whether or not you canplete these tasks, it''s not something even


    you can guarantee. We can only n and let things go ording to heaven''s will.”


    Jonathan nodded. Although his words carried no weight, he was going to do whatever it took to


    complete his tasks since he had already agreed.


    rissa then said, “My daughter is still in the egg, unhatched. Her time wille in ten days. I think


    the little one might be a little mischievous, so you might have your work cut out for you.”


    Jonathan couldn''t help but ask, “Can I discipline her if she''s disobedient?”


    rissa was a little stunned. After all, a mother''s love was the kindest and most benevolent love to


    exist. She also felt a little helpless. Before Jonathan had even started taking care of her daughter, he


    was already talking about disciplining her. How could she be content with this?


    However, rissa was not stupid. She replied, “Just do as you see fit.”


    Her words were open to interpretation.


    Jonathan smiled. He had been looking forward to this. Goodness. People have cats and dogs, and the


    people of Dartan have lions and leopards. I, on the other hand, get to keep a dragon. How cool is that?


    Right now, rissa did not know what Jonathan was thinking. If she found out that Jonathan intended


    on treating her daughter like a pet, rissa was going to be extremely enraged.


    Naturally, Jonathan had no real intention of treating a dragon like a pet. He merely had a dry sense of


    humor.


    rissa then said, “Tell my daughter that her name is rabelle Keller.”


    Jonathan''s expression changed slightly when he heard this. “Ms. rissa, can''t you hold out until your


    daughter is here?”


    The smile on rissa''s face was forlorn. “I can hold on for another hour at most.”


    Suddenly, the atmosphere became gloomy at the mention of death.


    “Ms. rissa,” said Torrence. “I''m going to be rabelle''s godfather. I will do whatever it takes to


    protect her.”


    rissa was slightly taken aback. She gave a slight bow to Torrence and replied, “You have my


    gratitude.”


    Torrence nodded.


    With that, rissa''s gaze was shifted to Jonathan once more. “I''m going to pass on the essentials of


    dragon magic to you. How much you canprehend depends on your capabilities.”


    Jonathan nodded.


    rissa then came to stand in front of Jonathan. She raised her arm and gently touched Jonathan''s


    head.


    Immediately after that, Jonathan felt a heat emanating from rissa''s palm. This heat had begun to


    make its way to Jonathan''s cerebral domain.


    Soon, this warmth turned into information that was drilled into Jonathan''s mind.


    This transmission was akin to codes running through aputer.


    Jonathan received so much information that he only felt chaos in his mind. All of the information was


    disorganized. Jonathan also felt a head-splitting pain, and he could not help but groan softly.


    After a while, rissa retracted her hand. “First, I want you to not think about this information and let


    your mind go nk. It will sort itself out in your cerebral domain. When that happens, you can go


    through it all slowly.”


    rissa''s method of teaching was through a transfer of the primordial spirit.


    It was akin to forcibly merging her memories into Jonathan''s mind.


    Jonathan immediately let his mind go nk and chose not to think about anything else. With that, his


    headache gradually disappeared too.


    “This is dragon blood essence. I''m giving this to you.” Having said that, rissa extended her hand.


    In the center of her palm was a blood-red crystalline ball, roughly the size of a fist.


    The ball shone with the bright red hue of blood.


    When Jonathan reached over to pick it up, he was slightly startled.


    “Every dragon has a blood-red crystal ball like this one,” said rissa with a wry smile. “It''s called a


    dragon essence ball. To everyone else, this is a very potent poison. Let''s take yourpanion as an


    example. He is no doubt highly skilled, but if he ingests this dragon essence ball, then his blood will


    explode, and he will die immediately. The truth is that not many people in the world can withstand the


    absolute power of a dragon essence ball. Yet, this dragon essence ball is the best panacea for your


    blood. This is just how strange fate is.”


    “Thank you for doing this, Ms. rissa.”


    “There''s no need to thank me,” tutted rissa. “If anything, this is just an equal exchange.”


    “Without you, Torrence and I would be dead. This is not an equal exchange. Regardless, you were a


    savior to us,” replied Jonathan.


    rissa smiled gently at Jonathan. “Well, I''ve already done my part. What happens next is all up to


    you. I''m looking forward to you moving on to the next stage. It''s only a pity that I won''t be here to


    witness it.”


    Jonathan and Torrence were filled with sorrow when they heard this.


    Just then, Jonathan seemed to have recalled something as he asked, “Ms. rissa, can you tell me


    who exactly it was who sealed off your people? Why did they do this to you?”


    A look of difort shed in rissa''s eyes. “This is the greatest humiliation ever faced by the


    dragons. This person was called Dhynos, but the humans called him Divine Emperor. He parted the


    veil of time and space and sought us out because he wanted a dragon essence ball for himself. The


    crystal is where our essence lies. If one takes this away, then the dragon in question would not survive.


    Dhynos'' request was excessive, so naturally, nobody agreed to it. As such, a fight broke out. Even


    though Dhynos had great powers, he was no match for the collective might of the dragons. In the end,


    Dhynos was so enraged that he...”


    rissa shook her head before she continued, “Dhynos was a true genius. He was so enraged that he


    hid somewhere and mastered the power of the magic elements. He then fused his mana with the


    elements to cast the forbidden ice seal, which trapped us here. Yet, in the end, he never got the dragon


    essence ball he wanted. After venting his anger, he eventually left Moranta. Before leaving, he also left


    some parting words. He said that our only hope in the futurey with the Chosen One.”
