CHAPTER 120: ZEYVYR’S REVELATION

"Alright, now that I’ve spared you two, kid, why don’t you satisfy my curiosity and answer my questions?"

Zeyvyr suddenly asked, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Hmm? What do you want to know?"

Lucien was surprised. He didn’t think there was anything worthy for Zeyvyr to take note of.

He thought Zeyvyr just left them alone because of the inexplicable 20 favorability points he got. After all, there must be no effect of measly 5 points of loyalty yet, right?

"Hehe... don’t act oblivious, kid. You are clearly unique. Otherwise, why would you think I noticed you two just now?"

But the words the dragon in front said next stunned Lucien.

And not only him, even Velmara, who was still reeling in shock, was surprised once again at this revelation.

’So, he was the reason why he discovered us?’

He thought, speechlessly.

’And he was doubting my ability? Damn it.’

He cursed and looked at Lucien, who directly ignored his gaze, not wanting to banter with him right now.

"What do you mean? Why would you notice us because of me?"

Instead, Lucien directly asked, clearly confused.

He didn’t think he had anything on him that was noteworthy besides his system and its reward. And he was sure there was no way this guy could know the system’s existence.

So, what did he notice?

Fortunately, Zeyvyr didn’t keep him in the dark for long. He smiled and said,

"I mean the power of sin within you. Kid, you’re really something, two powers of sin, and you’ve even managed to assimilate one. I have to say, that’s impressive."

Zeyvyr said, with clear amazement.

"It seems the appearance of the abyss has affected this broken world. I already met two people affected by the power of sin, and one even seemed to have some control. Interesting...!"

He mumbled with strong curiosity while looking at Lucien, who seemed surprised by his revelation.

"Kid, how did you do that? You are so weak, you shouldn’t be able to control the power of sin, and two at that."

He finally asked, clearly wanting to know how Lucien did it.

For a dragon to be so interested in him, it seemed that possessing multiple powers of sin was somewhat incredible.

’Sigh... he can even find the trace of an Ancient bloodline in Velmara. It makes sense for him to find this about me.’

Lucien thought, finally realizing where he had screwed up. Well, he didn’t actually, to be honest.

If not for that fatty having the power of sin, Gluttony, heightening Zeyvyr’s perception of the same, maybe they wouldn’t have been discovered this easily.

’Well, there is no point crying over spilled milk, is there?’

Lucien inwardly sighed, put aside random thoughts, and looked at the dragon, replying faintly,

"I don’t know either. I just can do it naturally?"

Lucien scratched his hair, not knowing how to answer. After all, he didn’t know how his system worked.

"Just... I almost died when I was involved in this power. Why do you ask?"

He countered, as he also wanted to know more about his condition.

After hearing Zeyvyr’s mumbling just now, he was now 100% sure that this dragon was from the Shadow Kingdom. Although his mention of the Abyss managed to make him curious.

Since he had already decided to go into that Domain Dungeon, any information he could gain should be good.

"You don’t know?"

Zeyvyr raised his eyebrow, looked at Lucien with his golden crimson eyes for a while, and sighed,

"It seems you aren’t lying. Well, I should know. It isn’t something that can be learned."

He seemed a little disappointed from the frown on his face.

’So, he was testing if I was lying?’

Lucien raised his eyebrow and thought speechlessly. He didn’t think this guy was actually suspicious of him.

"What is so good about controlling two powers of sin anyway?"

Lucien hurriedly asked, seeing Zeyvyr losing interest in this talk. He wanted to at least get a few words about his condition.

However, hearing what the dragon said next made him even more dumbfounded, as Zeyvyr directly scoffed and said in a huff,

"Good? Did I say it is good? I just said it is unique and impressive, ain’t I?"

He said, and then gave a warning,

"Kid, the power of sin isn’t a child’s toy. You should be extremely careful."

From how he said it, he seemed to know more about them. But Zeyvyr didn’t elaborate further; instead faintly smiled as if remembering something interesting, his eyes clearly playful.

"And you even have two at the same time, haha... it will be interesting when Ragnar finds out about you, although you might be too weak to gain his attention."

He said in a happy mood, totally confusing the shit out of both Velmara and Lucien.

"Don’t get confused. Since you have the Seed of Sins in control, you must have received an invitation from the World of Origin to the Shadow Kingdom, right?"

It seemed Zeyvyr found the confusion on Lucien’s face, so he began to lightly explain,

"Ragnar is someone from my tribe who is currently trying to conquer that Shadow Kingdom. You just need to know, he is someone similar to you."

He said, and then suddenly threw something out of his mana ring directly to Lucien, causing him to grab the thing reflexively.

"Since you’re entering the Shadow Kingdom, hide your power of sin. Use this artifact to conceal it, and don’t use it unless necessary; you don’t want to be spotted early."

He warned, clearly helping Lucien.

He didn’t know why, but he found himself liking this kid a little.

More importantly, he wanted to see the look on that hateful bastard Ragnar’s face when he realized someone else could wield two powers of sin besides him.

’Haha... his pathetic pride will shatter into dust.’

Just imagining that future scene was enough to stir excitement in Zeyvyr’s chest. That was why he treated Lucien the way he did.

’So generous?’

Lucien, who got the bronze medal, looked at it and couldn’t help but feel shocked.

That was because the artifact was at the peak of Rare rank, nearly touching Epic.

Just keeping it close made the presence of the Seeds of Lust and Greed fade until even he couldn’t sense them without focusing.

"Kid, you are too weak. If you are spotted by Ragnar right now, you won’t even withstand his breath. So, train hard and be strong fast."

Zeyvyr advised, then turned around, finally intending to leave,

"Oh, and leave this place and enter the Shadow Kingdom fast. This broken world can be swallowed up anytime. So, let me gather a few gems while at it, don’t bother me now."

He said, finally looking at the two remaining caravans at the far corner with glowing eyes, clearly in greed.

It seemed that even though he struck Velmara in anger, he conveniently saved those caravans filled with gems and such.

Being such a strong dragon and liking such low-grade things, it was really weird.

"Wait a minute!"

Just when Zeyvyr was about to leave after giving advice, Lucien suddenly called out, stopping him in his tracks.

"What now? Do you still need my help? Kid, you are pushing limits now."

It seemed that Zeyvyr didn’t like someone stopping him while he was about to loot, as his expression turned 180 degrees in a moment.

"Cough... I didn’t mean that. It’s just I wanted to say thank you for helping me."

Lucien was left speechless by his sudden mood swing.

"No need! I didn’t do it for your thank you anyway. In return, I will just take these few worthless gems you have."

Zeyvyr waved his hand graciously at Lucien’s words. As a dragon, he didn’t care about anyone.

Even talking this long with Lucien was a surprise.

To be honest, someone who was the most surprised here right now must be Velmara.

In such a short period, he heard so many secrets that he didn’t know how to react.

He knew Lucien was different and unique, but it seemed he didn’t know enough.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t even express his emotion, as his existence was being thoroughly ignored here by both Zeyvyr and Lucien.

"Cough... that’s good. Then, can you help me with one last thing, too?"

Seeing that the dragon was once again about to leave, Lucien suddenly asked, halting him once again.

"What do you want now? Haven’t I done enough?"

This time, not only the dragon, but even Velmara was getting angry at Lucien.

’Can’t you just leave him alone? Why are you irritating him now?’

Velmara thought and signaled Lucien with his eyes, only to get totally ignored again.

He was really so mad that... he couldn’t do anything.

"Haha... don’t get angry, Sir Dragon. It is my first time meeting someone as powerful as you. It is natural to feel a little greedy."

Lucien also thought he was a little overboard and pushing the limit. But he didn’t know when, after today, he would meet this guy again.

But his new skill clearly needed draconic essence right now. Although he also had a dragon in his dimensional vault, he couldn’t access it yet.

So, he decided to gamble here.

Lucien saw that, although irritated, Zeyvyr still stopped in his tracks.

So, he hurriedly waved his hand, taking out a mana ring. Then, without waiting, he directly threw it to the dragon, just like before, straight into his hand.

"What is thi-Woah!?"

Zeyvyr was confused and wanted to ask, but suddenly his attention went into the ring, only to be stunned in surprise.

That’s because what was inside the ring were sparkling gems, coral stones, and mountains of shiny treasures of unknown origin piled up together.

Just a glance showed as much wealth as ten caravans he had just looted, all stored inside a single Rare rank mana ring.
