Chapter 1587 A Dragonkin and a Dragonborn (Part 2)

...

As Arthur was watching Sigurd Dragonborn stood up and released his overwhelming aura, a mysterious power suddenly descended upon him and entered his inventory space.

He did not have the time to check on it when a sudden string of notifications flashed through his eyes.

*Ding*

...

Arthur stared blankly at the string of notifications as he was trying to understand most of them.

He then realized the true usage of this [Compass of the Lost Soul]. It was a special item that could guide someone to the path of enlightenment.

For players who had managed to become an Ascended Being, this item could lead them to the next step of reaching the pinnacle of this realm, being an Enlightened Being.

As for someone like Arthur, who was already a Transcendent Being who did not need step-by-step improvement to gain absolute powers, this compass could help him elevate his soul to a higher level and improve the thickness of his racial bloodline.

As Arthur was thinking about this, the old man across from him suddenly pointed to the ground before him and shot a beam of light that suddenly materialized into a humanoid figure.

A few moments later, the materialized silhouette slowly solidified and became a young man of the same age as Arthur.

They had long blonde hair that was hanging on his back and his silver armor was filled with mysterious runes that were flashing in a certain rhythmic pattern from time to time.

On the back of this person was a double-edged greatsword that was as tall as him. The surface of the sword was covered with mysterious patterns that seemed to have created an image of a dragon and a human battling each other while the sharp edges were filled with flashing runes.

A single glance at this person was more than enough for Arthur to know that he was the younger version of Sigurd Dragonborn.

Not long after, the old man behind the younger version of himself crossed his arms in front of him while saying. "I have created this avatar with a similar physique as yours. His skills and techniques are also limited to the time when I am in your age."

Swoosh!

Arthur was about to say something as a counter to his words, but the opposing side suddenly disappeared and reappeared before him with a hand on the hilt of the greatsword hanging on his back.

"You're dead!" said the young Sigurd as his body was suddenly enveloped by a blue-colored flame. This flame seemed to be made of the purest form of mana that took the form of a fire.

At the same time, Arthur could also feel an immense threat just by the appearance of that blue mana flame. It was as if something within him was somewhat afraid of this power that was current surrounding his opponent.

He could feel that his powers were being suppressed to a certain extent just by the appearance of that flame.

Swoosh!

This was the Dragon-Slaying Power that Sigurd Dragonborn had created to defeat the dragons that he had slayed during his time. It was said to be the bane of all dragons during that era and what made him feared by most of the Dragon Tribes.

But Arthur was not from any ordinary tribe of Dragons. He was from one of the mightiest tribes of the Dragon Race, the Divine Dragon Tribe, and even received a direct inheritance from the current king of Dragons.

Bang!

To negate the power of his opponent who was trying to suppress him, Arthur released his unique mana manipulation method while also entering the combat state of Reality Manifestation without any hesitation.

He knew that he could not afford to hold back right now given that he pretty much pissed this young version of Sigurd Dragonborn.

Bang!

A golden flame covered his entire body as a mix of golden lightning danced on its surface, elevating his presence to a higher level and matching his opponent's.

Seeing the sudden change in his opponent's aura, the young Sigurds started smiling broadly as he commented. "So, you are not all talk."

Swoosh!

It was also at this moment when he suddenly unsheathed the greatsword from his back and swiftly swung it down.

Shing!

The sword left a blazing trail in the air as it almost reached Arthur's head in an instant.

But Arthur was not that slow either as he was already taking a step back ahead of time while also raising his round shield at the same time.

Bang!

The collision of the two sides resulted in a massive explosion that sent a series of shockwaves that spread in every direction.

Arthur slightly lowered his shield as his opponent slowly landed on the ground. He stared straight into the eyes of the opposing side.

His eyes were also currently releasing a golden glow as he activated his Dragon Eyes, which was why he was fast enough to respond to the quick attack of his opponent.

But, of course, he did not forget about his trash talk to further infuriate the other. "You, on the other hand, seem to be quite mediocre. Are you sure that to continue this? You may get your ass kicked; you know?"

"You should surrender early to avoid some embarrassment," he added as he further provoked the young Sigurd.
