Chapter 1082
The White Dragon and Dark Dragon did not surrender easily compared to the other colored dragons as they have superior pride, and it seems that they have better genes compared to the others. He has read that monsters that have a higher quality bloodline tend to be more powerful than the other. Kanlaon could still suppress them but not to such a great extent that they would cower.
In the end, fighting was inevitable, but Adrian did not shy away from this. Kanlaon could still pressure them which led them decrease their fighting power, but they had troublesome abilities as well. The domain of the White Dragon is basically a crystalline kingdom that is filled with white crystals that can reflect, refract, and diffract light.
The White Dragon would then use the light as a means of attacking and evading. The White Dragon can vanish into the light itself and even attack while inside them. If Kanlaon did not have great control over the darkness element, then they would surely have a difficult time in restraining the White Dragon.
Adrian managed to restrain the White Dragon thanks to Kanlaon, Sirius and Kimat’s help. Kanlaon made the whole room into a dark room using darkness magic while Sirius is the one that plucked the White Dragon out of her hiding spot. Kimat then made the white crystals defective by making sure that they can no longer be reflective surfaces.
Once again, Adrian is reminded that the skills presented in the soulbounds information are not all the things that can be done by them. This is actually a hot topic with regards to summoners as soulbounds that have higher levels tend to be more intelligent than the rest. It also made them self-aware and their masters as well which led to some having great camaraderie.
This is also not just observed from the perspective of soulbounds but as to pets as well. A blog about a pet suddenly coming out of its Companionship Stone is at the hot topic right now. The players that learned of this took care of their pets, mounts and soulbounds even more because of this which led to a boom of pet rearing.
“That is enough. Just ten scales will be enough so that we can leave this place.” Adrian stated as they plucked out the ten scales from the White Dragon.
He did not want to kill the White Dragon as plucking the scales will be a much better way of getting them. He does not want to risk the chance of having lesser scales drop and him repeating the dungeon. The White Dragon wanted to say something but the three beasts that could be said to outrank are looking with great gazes.
“Do not worry as I will not kill you.” Adrian said as he does not need anything other than the scales.
When the extraction of the scales was over, they headed towards the Black Dragon’s domain. This domain is different from the domain of the White Dragon. The domain of the Black Dragon is different as it is just a whole room full of darkness. Sirius literally had to fish for the Black Dragon as it was not showing up.
The Black Dragon also operated in the shadow realm and used magic with the same element. Kanlaon easily purged this ability by summoning light from his dragon ball. Adrian could not help but say that he has a cheat level existence, but he did suffer to make him evolve like that. In the end, they plucked the scales of the Black Dragon while it is emitting a cry. Adrian collected all of the scales and is about to head out of the dungeon when he received a notification.
[You have succeeded in clearing the dungeon’s hidden quest.]
[You will be transported to the Colored Audience Room.]
“Huh? What was that?” Adrian stated as he suddenly got whisked away to another room.
When Adrian regained his vision, he is inside a room that is split into six parts. Each part has different colors that represent the element which are red, blue, gray, brown, white, and black. Adrian does not know how he received this condition but is excited by the fact that he triggered something.
Just as he thought that he will meet someone great, all six of the colored dragons appeared in their respective places. Each of them is also petrified that it was Adrian that they saw. They did not expect the evil being that wanted their scales will be the one that will free them from the curse.
“Great being that is the master of our ancestor, will you please hear our plea?” The Blue Dragon spoke but there is still a bit of fear in its voice.
“Since I am already here then let us hear it.” Adrian stated as he wanted to at least know what he is going to do. If it is impossible within the limited time frame, then he would simply decline. He does not want to do anything troublesome after all.
“We have been trapped here since a long time ago.” The Red Dragon stated.
“We were still children when we were sealed in this thing that you call a dungeon.” The Brown Dragon added.
“This land used to be a great resting place for dragons of various color, but a wicked sorcerer sealed us in here.” The Gray Dragon stated.
“It did not take long for the race called the Ancient Dwarves to move in the place that was once our home.” The White Dragon stated.
“At first, we wanted to converse with them, but they are unable to understand our voices. It seems that they do not speak the Draconic Tongue, but you can.” The Black Dragon stated. 𝘪.𝘤𝑜𝘮
“When did I ever learn to speak the Draconic Tongue?” Adrian thought but he suddenly remembered the Dragon Tamer title. He looked at it again and it actually said that it enables him to understand dragons better.
“I also have the Dragon Slayer title though?” Adrian mumbled.
“That is correct master. You can say that in the eyes of dragons, you are both a saint and an evil being.” Kanlaon stated which shocked Adrian.
“Is that true?” Adrian asked and all the dragons nodded their head vigorously.
“We have thought that you came to kill us, but we are thankful that you did not.” The Blue Dragon stated.
“Well, that is my intention at first but that would be very inefficient in collecting scales.” Adrian stated which made the six colored dragons to shudder. They even hugged their bodies as a means of defense as they are still scarred from that experience.
“So? What do you want me to do? I cannot free you from that spell if you are asking me that. From what I can see, all of your souls are already tied to this very dungeon. If I destroy this dungeon, then all of you will die as well.” Adrian stated as he activated his evil eye.
Once he used his evil eye, Adrian could basically see that they are linked to the core of the dungeon. Since this is an artificial dungeon and not a naturally made one, he can destroy the dungeon core. At least, that is what he read from one of the books in Gigan’s workshop, but he has yet to test that theory.
“We already know that we cannot escape here as we have accepted our fate, but we have a sibling that has yet to hatch.” The Black Dragon stated. 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝘰𝑚
“We could feel the heart of strong lightning from our sibling, but he is currently trapped inside the egg that was used by the wicked sorcerer to become the dungeon core.” The Red Dragon stated.
“We ask that you free our sibling from his cruel fate.” The Brown Dragon stated as a quest suddenly popped up in front of Adrian.

“Fine. I will do it.” Adrian replied as he could not resist the seven dragons looking at him with puppy dog eyes. Seven because Kanlaon also wanted to help them, and Adrian cannot resist him the most. He also did not want the dragon egg to suffer as Adrian knows that feeling since Kanlaon’s memories are also transferred to him back then.
“Even a dragon can feel its surroundings as an egg.” Adrian muttered.
