Chapter 471 Against the Dragon

'I can extract this item?' Vale thought, but he ignored the message for now, as the orb wasn't his item yet.

On the other hand, the statue or the Sentinel of Shadows, seemed to be very surprised to see how Vale quickly passed the test.

"Mhmm… I underestimated your talent. You have demonstrated an incredible affinity to the Element of Shadow, young practitioner. You can have the orb as part of the reward."

"I passed the test?"

"Yes… You passed the test, and I can guide you to the path leading to the 10th floor… However, do you wish to become my disciple and inherit my legacy?" The Sentinel asked.

"Before you answer, I must tell you that being my disciple or inheriting my legacy is not included in the rewards set by the Tower Master. This is my own desire to find a suitable disciple to continue the legacy of shadows."

Vale was hesitant since he wasn't sure if it was beneficial.

He then proceeded to ask some questions to aid him in his decision. The Sentinel didn't mind it and answered his questions.

Unfortunately, Vale learned that becoming a Sentinel of Shadow would have so many consequences. Although he would get to learn some awesome shadow spells, he would be in constant danger of becoming corrupted. He would also weaken in sunlight but strong at nighttime.

Those two problems can be resolved by his Incorruptible Body and his Darkness Manipulation Spell or Light Absorption Spell.

However, there is another problem.

If he inherited the legacy, he would have to fulfill the duty of the Sentinel.

It was to guard another realm for a period of time… It may take more than a decade!

He didn't even care about that realm, so after he had considered the implications and responsibilities of becoming a disciple of the Sentinel of Shadows, he made his decision.

He respectfully declined the offer to inherit the legacy and become a Sentinel himself.

"I appreciate the opportunity, but I have weighed the consequences and duties that come with it and I don't think I can walk on this path…" Vale replied with a solemn tone.

The Sentinel nodded understandingly. He didn't even seem disappointed.

"I will respect your decision. You have shown your skills and you are free to continue your journey and enter the tenth floor."

At this time, the Sentinel waved its ethereal hand to split apart the waterfalls and show a path to the next floor.

Vale expressed his gratitude and took a moment to gather his thoughts.

"Before that, can I return and meet the lake's dragon first?" Vale suddenly asked as he looked at the Sentinel's reaction.

This was the first time he had seen this Mystical Being react differently.

"The lake's dragon? Aersus, the Soul Eater?" the Sentinel confirmed, a hint of caution in his voice.

"Is that his name?" Vale muttered before nodding his head. "Yes, that's the one. I wish to have a final conversation with him before I continue."

The Sentinel considered Vale's request and eventually granted him permission.

"Very well. You may go and meet Aersus, but be cautious. Remember, his nature is that of a Soul Eater. You have to return before the sky turns dark."

Vale smiled and thanked the Sentinel before tracing his path back to the territory of the dragon.

Soon, Vale found himself back in the grassy landscape.

He shifted his attention to the lake and saw the dragon. Its body was still partially submerged in the water.

Sensing an opportunity, he decided to make his move.

He cast his ESP Spell to conceal his presence, ensuring that he remained undetected by the dragon for some time.

He then utilized his Levitation Spell to float silently towards the huge creature.

As soon as he had entered the lake's area, he activated his Lightspeed Spell, propelling himself towards the dragon with incredible speed.

Whoosh~

However, just as he was about to make contact, he encountered an unexpected barrier— an invisible force preventing him from reaching the dragon's scale!

"Tsk…"

Realizing that he could not activate his Extraction System in this situation, Vale's mind raced for a solution.

Aersus, the dragon, finally lifted its head and observed Vale's attempt to breach his defenses, momentarily confused by the human's audacity.

Aersus spoke in curiosity mixed with annoyance… "Incomplete human, what are you trying to accomplish?"

Vale ignored the dragon and tapped into the full potential of his Half-Celestial Body…

Soon, a resounding crash was heard. Vale shattered the invisible barrier, finally making contact with the dragon's body.

"You puny little human... How dare you lay hands upon a noble dragon!" Aersus growled. He was certainly irritated as he prepared to unleash his draconic powers upon Vale.

However, to Aersus' surprise, his energy began to weaken inexplicably. Confusion filled the dragon's voice as he demanded an explanation. "You! What are you doing?!"

Vale, undeterred by Aersus' question, continued with his Extraction.

That's right! He had already activated his Extraction System, drawing upon the dragon's energy, attributes, abilities, or whatever he could extract from him...

His intention was clear - to absorb everything he could from this dragon, and if possible, defeat it in the process.

But before Vale could fully exhaust Aersus with his Extraction, the dragon unleashed a powerful burst of energy, sending Vale flying through the air. The sheer force caught Vale off guard, surprising him with the dragon's resilience and strength.

'You can still cast something like that? What a tough a one…' Vale commented in his mind as he floated in the sky.

He saw several notifications from the system, so he knew that he had extracted a lot. He didn't expect that this dragon was still filled with energy!

This had never happened before!

Nevertheless, rather than being discouraged, Vale's smile widened.

"This is more exciting than I expected…" Vale exclaimed as a dark aura suddenly started emitting out of his body without his notice.

He appeared to be eager to face such a powerful adversary!

"I've heard tales of your title as a Soul Eater, Aersus… " Vale taunted, his voice filled with confidence.

"Come at me! Let us see if you deserve that title!"
