Chapter - 2869

Zeke and the rest patiently tried to make Lacey change her mind, but she was stubborn and refused to budge.

In the end, even Terrachus relented. He sighed and said, "Well, it seems Vassilios' descendant has inherited his stubbornness and persistence. If you insist on entering, I will grant your wish."

With that, his formidable power dissipated from Lacey and returned to King of Dragons once more.

King of Dragons, thinking that Terrachus intended to subject it to further torment, was on the verge of breaking down in fear. "Master Terrachus, I beg you, spare my life. Please spare my life..."

Terrachus declared, "If you wish to ensure your survival, form a master servant contract with Vassilios' descendants. Even if it means sacrificing your own life, you must protect Vassilios' descendants. Should you violate this contract, you shall incur the wrath of heaven and meet a gruesome demise. You will have no descendant, and your tribe will face extinction!"

King of Dragons was rendered speechless.

That's cruel. He wants me to face a gruesome demise and end up without any descendants. That's not all, for my tribe will also face extinction!

The King of Dragons had no choice but to relent as it wanted to survive. Without a word, it entered a master-servant contract with Lacey.

Quinlan felt bitter at the sight.

King of Dragons, who used to be the most powerful creature on Theos Island, was now Lacey's servant.

The most powerful being on Theos Island, Quinlan, was now Zeke's disciple.

He wondered what the couple did in their past lives to deserve such a fate.

After the contract was signed, the power enveloped them all and tossed them into the ancient sector.

A dense mist was ever present in the ancient sector, reducing visibility to less than two meters.

As they stepped into the ancient sector, Zeke's voice echoed through the mist, saying, "Everyone, gather around me. We must stick together in the ancient sector or risk perishing in these treacherous lands."

Hearing that, everyone instantly crowded around him.

Zeke did a headcount and realized King of Dragons wasn't there.

Without wasting a moment, he called out, "King of Dragons, reveal yourself! There's no use trying to escape. Remember, you are bound by a master-servant contract with Lacey!"

"Help me... Help..." King of Dragons' weak voice sounded not far away.

What was that?

Zeke furrowed his brows and quickly made his way toward the sound.

When they finally came across King of Dragons, everyone could barely hide their shock.

The creature lay before them, severed in half, its once arrogant demeanor replaced with a defeated and lifeless appearance. It was a mere shell of its former self, on the verge of death.

"What happened to you?" Zeke asked worriedly.

King of Dragons was close to tears. "Didn't you see how Terrachus' force split me in half? Hurry, I need spiritual energy now. Help me!"

Spiritual energy?

Zeke shook his head. "Finding spiritual energy in this desolate place won't be easy. However, I recall that you have slain numerous primordial beasts in the primeval forest and obtained their spirit pills. You can utilize the spiritual energy stored within those pills."

King of Dragons perked up. "Spirit pills? Where are my spirit pills? Where are they? Oh, right. They are inside my butt. Hurry, Quinlan! Take those pills out of my butt! I can't move now, so I can't take them out on my own."

Everyone was speechless to learn that King of Dragons hid the spirit pills inside its butt.

King of Dragons quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand. Actually, this is one of the Dragon Race's skills. My butt is a parallel universe that is able to store stuff."

Seriously?

The crowd was, once again, left speechless.

Their butts are parallel universes, capable of storing stuff? What kind of skill is that?

King of Dragons was severely injured and wasn't as strong as before.

Previously, it was the most formidable force among them.

If it could regain its strength, their safety would be significantly enhanced. Recognizing this, Quinlan swiftly made his way toward King of Dragons' rear end, where he retrieved a few spirit pills from its stash.

He couldn't help but wonder why he didn't discover this secret when King of Dragons used him to wipe its rear end previously.

If I knew there was a parallel universe storing its treasures, I would've stolen some.

Once in possession of the spirit pills, King of Dragons wasted no time and swiftly crushed three of them between its massive claws. In an instant, a dense surge of spiritual energy permeated the air.
