[Just a flying beast with a 10% Draconic bloodline...] The system said, watering down his hopes, but Nn was nheless shocked.


    The creature before him was a hundred times bigger than he is, coveredpletely in pitch ck scales.


    Its tail was about 200 meters long, ending in sharp, bony spikes. It was like Nn was standing beside a small mountain, and he felt crippling fear.


    Such a creature would be able to devour a hundred of him with absolutely no problem at all.


    "But..." Nn said, his eyebrows creasing, and in the end, he decided to walk forward toward the creature.


    Even though it was most likely dangerous, he could sense something was wrong, and when he arrived at the head of the Draconic beast, he felt slight puffs of white air leaving itsrge nostrils.


    its eyes were barely open, but there were no signs of it watching him.


    Touching its nose and closing his eyes, Nn remained silent for some time before, eventually, he slowly removed his hand from the creature''s nostril and stepped back a few paces.


    [It''s dead.] The system said as Nn hummed a bit.


    such a huge and majestic creature had unfortunately lost its life.


    [But I can sense a vibrant life energy.]


    [Open its mouth!] The system added as Nn raised an eyebrow.


    "Are you trying to get me killed? You want me to open those maws?" Nn asked.


    [Open its mouth, Nn...] The system persisted even more, and eventually, Nn obliged as he walked towards the dragon''s mouth.


    The heat emanating forth made Nn feel like burnt meat as he felt his own skin sizzling already, but he ignored that.


    He grabbed the sides of the creature''s jaws.


    With all of his strength, Nn pulled, and incredible veins bulged all over his skin.


    He erged twice his previous size, and only after minutes of absolutely flexing his muscles to the maximum and using all his strength was Nn finally able to pull the mouth of the beast open.


    And when the dragon''s jaw opened, Nn was deeply shocked.


    Inside the dragon''s tongue was a humanoid figure with strange yet exceptionally long green hair, snuggled between the dragon''s huge fangs, seemingly in deep slumber.


    Without wasting any time, Nn carefully drew the figure into his arms and dragged it out. Sweeping the hair to the side, he came across the beautiful face of a very small girl around the age of 5 or 7. She was incredibly small, but there wasn''t the faintest wound on her body.


    Without wasting any more time, Nn simply threw her behind his back, and then he raced into the distance.


    The dragon was dead, but inside its mouth, he had found a green-haired girl who was still alive.


    Nn had no idea what killed the dragon, but judging from how it fell, one could say it was being chased for its life, and he didn''t want whoever was chasing it and managed to kill it to catch him in the area.


    So, he decided to run away.


    He had no idea where he was going, but he didn''t have to walk too far when he found another green forest filled with remnants of rocks, and quickly Nn turned towards it, disappearing from the venue...


    ---


    10 minutes after Nn''s disappearance.


    BOOOOOOOM!!!


    The entire void of space copsed as a total of five beings, radiating an incredible amount of energy, slowly floated down from the sky before they allnded beside the corpse of the dragon.


    Weirdly enough, the dragon was starting to turn to ashes and quickly fading into thin air, and after 30 seconds, its corpse disappeared into ashes, leaving nothing left on the ground except the bashed crater.


    "On the day when the Night and Day intersect and the Origin Energy wanes, Princess Scyhelleria of the Mighty Draconic Kingdom faces her death, along with that of her mighty steed, bing nothing but ashes in the wind..." One of the figures proimed loudly, and in an instant, the void of space shattered into ss once more, and the figures became dark light beams that instantly raced into the distance, disappearing from the area.


    When dragons die, they be nothing but ashes.


    Now that the dragon has died, and having hidden the princess in its maw, the princess too had already died since when the dragon faded into thin air, there was nothing left on the ground.


    In the end, the judgment of certain death had finally been passed!


    ---


    The breeze was stinging, filled with an intense coldness, and one could see remnants of snow flying around the area, showing the sign that snow was about to fall.


    But in this cold and wild breeze, a figure could be seen, walking forward toward a group of cracked mountains, half-naked, and with skin filled with scars that drew blood.


    Behind his back, one could see another figure. A figure with long green hair.


    Nn felt his spine chill from the incredible wave of coldness that filled the air, but nheless, he walked forward, finding a ce he could rest.


    He had tried clinging to the top of a tree like he had done before, but the branches of the trees here were very weak, and besides, they offered little to no protection from the biting, chilling wind.


    That was why he opted to move to the mountainous area of the forest, and as he stood before it, he found what he was looking for.


    A cave!


    It was the best ce Nn felt he could use, and quickly he found a well-hidden cave at the farther side of the area and entered into it, finding anotherrger rock which he used to block up the entrance, reducing the inside of the cave to darkness.


    But the darkness didn''t persist at all as a blue me soon parked up, giving a bit of illumination to the darkness...


    "Huuuu, finally..." Nn heaved loudly as he copsed on his butt, after sliding down the wall.
