Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 588 - 588 586 The Flame Goes Out

Chapter 588: Chapter 586: The Flame Goes Out Chapter 588: Chapter 586: The Flame Goes Out After a day of recuperation, Russell felt his body had almost fully recovered, with the most important thing being that Sacred Unicorn Polly’s Dragonflame had recovered enough to perform the Ethereal Dream Escape Technique.

Having the Ethereal Dream Escape Technique at his disposal meant he could leave the house.

After bidding farewell to King Ares, Russell rode Polly and swiftly entered supersonic speed at Mach 3, racing towards the Shadowflame Duchy. Two hours later, they arrived at Shadowflame Volcano and flew straight into it through the crater.

He shook the bag, and out flew eight Frost Star Beads.

“Shadowflame, it’s feeding time.” Russell waved his hand, and all eight Frost Star Beads flew towards the Shadowflame Dragon.

The Shadowflame Dragon’s eyes lit up, it opened its mouth, and directly caught all eight Frost Star Beads, “Delicious, truly delicious!”

“I told you, you’d eventually eat until you were full. This is just an appetizer,” Russell said with a smile, “How much strength did it add to you?”

“They’re very effective for healing injuries, but as for enhancing strength, the effect is negligible,” responded the Shadowflame Dragon. “Shadowflame didn’t consume them all but hid them away to become holy healing treasures when needed.”

“You can do that?”

“Humans have the habit of saving; why can’t Shadowflame?” The Shadowflame Dragon blinked, and after fully recovering, it became much more talkative and lively, “Savings make Shadowflame more composed.”

“Excellent!” Russell gave his approval to the Shadowflame Dragon.

Then he took another deep look at the Shadowflame Dragon, “The Meltdown Dragon has fallen in battle, you’ve heard about that, right?”

The Shadowflame Dragon closed its eyes, lost in memory, “Shadowflame has met Meltdown, and though Shadowflame did not like its disdain for other dragons, Meltdown was a predecessor to Shadowflame, it gave much guidance to Shadowflame… what’s done is done.”

“I’m planning to go to the Molten Fire Duchy to check out the situation. After I leave, you need to be more cautious; the current situation is no longer as it used to be.”

“Are you worried about Shadowflame?”

“Just a reminder,” Russell said calmly, “I don’t want to come back and find you slaughtered and dragged away by a Frost Giant. With the descent of Frost Star, the Snowfield crisis has greatly increased. Even an old dragon like the Meltdown Dragon can fall, anything can happen.”

“My power far exceeds that of Meltdown!” The Shadowflame Dragon grinned viciously, “Now that Shadowflame has fully recovered, there are no more Frost Giants or Snow Trolls that could ambush me. Once Ice Cream Volcano erupts, distracting Scorching, Shadowflame will snatch back hope from the hands of the Bandit Flood!”

“Hmm,” Russell remained noncommittal.

But the Shadowflame Dragon leaned its head closer to Russell’s face, “With Meltdown gone and the volcano extinguished, why hasn’t Ice Cream erupted again above the ruins?”

“I have my own plans with Ice Cream,” Russell waved his hand, “In any case, be careful. The Snowfield has changed, with the arrival of Frost Giants and Snow Trolls, the danger has increased. Before we have sufficient strength, let’s prioritize our own safety.”

“On your way to Meltdown…,” the Shadowflame Dragon narrowed its eyes, “Ice Cream’s power really is amazing.”

“Of course,” Russell gave a small smile, “I’m off.”

He turned gracefully and vanished like a bolt of lightning into Shadowflame Volcano, returning to Red Castle to convene the Cabinet for a discussion about the refugee problem in the Molten Fire Duchy. Russell then hurried back to Cigar Manor for a quick reminder about certain matters.

“Senbula, Uroboros, the situation on the Snowfield has changed, so don’t go beyond the Snowfield outside the Shadowflame Duchy.”

Facing his two Phantom Beast companions, Russell gave detailed instructions, “You go to the Snowfield north of Cloud Dream Marsh, where Snow Demons are active, and it’s located between the Volcanic Oasis and the smaller oasis, convenient for you to escape at any time.”

“We can enter the Gloomy Dreamland, Russell, no need to worry about us,” Uroboros responded telepathically.

“That’s not an option, even the Meltdown Dragon has fallen in battle, who can predict the Frost Giants and Snow Trolls’ methods? In any event, I don’t want any of my companions to be missing. If you really want to gain experience abroad, you’ll have to wait until I return to the country.”

“Alright, we’ll listen to you,” Uroboros agreed amiably.

Pseudo-Nightmare Beast Dragon Senbula also nodded in agreement, and after Russell grew close to the two phantom beasts for a moment, he prepared to leave.

Just at that moment.

He suddenly started, then flipped open his left palm. The M-shaped mark’s flame had completely extinguished, and he could hide it at will, which meant that the Little Dream Dragon had awakened from its “deep sleep” and had entered the “light sleep” phase.

At this stage, Russell could communicate with the Little Dream Dragon.

“Long time no see, Ice Cream!” Russell called softly, and the M-shaped mark appeared on his palm, flickering on and off – it was Little Dream Dragon greeting Russell, “Now that you’re awake, when will you erupt like a volcano?”

As the M-shaped mark flickered, Russell could feel the excitement of the Little Dream Dragon; it wouldn’t be long before it erupted like a volcano.

However, more specific information could only be conveyed in the Gloomy Dreamland.

Perhaps.

There might not be a Gloomy Dreamland anymore; once Little Dream Dragon fully awoke, it would probably be the moment of volcanic eruption.

Russell clenched his right fist, the M-shaped mark turned into sparks and dispersed with the wind, and he mounted Senbula: “Come on, let’s use Quiet Dream to return to the city!”

“Okie-dokie!” Senbula quickly performed its innate ability.

The next moment, it took Russell into the Gloomy Dreamland, and the scenery in front of them changed abruptly; they were back near the bamboo forest by Cigar Manor.

But just as Senbula was about to leave the Gloomy Dreamland and return to the real world.

Russell stopped its movement: “Don’t rush, feel it with your heart.”

“What?” Senbula was perplexed when suddenly, a powerful force seeped out of the Gloomy Dreamland and poured into its body, “What is this… such a powerful force, Russell, what’s happening?”

“Ice Cream’s gift to you upon meeting, Senbula, feel it well, digest it!” Russell grinned.

“Okay!” Senbula closed its eyes, and quickly reopened them, “What a wonderful taste, it fused with my Quiet Dream return… Russell, now I can remember two return locations, this is so cool!”

“Ha ha, great, just as I thought, Ice Cream’s Dragonflame can help Quiet Dream evolve… Now you can remember two return locations, which means you can travel freely between the two places, that’s practically teleportation!”

At this point.

Senbula’s innate Quiet Dream return, after evolving, was named by Russell as – Gloomy Dreamland Teleportation, abbreviated as Quiet Dream Teleportation.

“It’s a pity Ice Cream is still in light sleep, otherwise you could enter the Gloomy Dreamland to experience it. Moreover, your Pseudo-Dragon horn mane might also be able to develop new uses,” Russell said with a smile, “But no rush, it will all come soon!”

Back in the real world.

Russell said: “After I return, I’ll take you to Red Castle, you’ll remember the second return point as Red Castle, so I can ride you to teleport between Red Castle and Cigar Manor… In the future, I can send you on missions to the Scorching Torrent Kingdom, ha ha!”

“At your service!” Senbula nodded.

Although it was Russell’s contract partner, with Polly preceding it, Senbula was very aware of its position, behaving more like Russell’s follower—in fact, Polly’s follower, aiming to chase after Polly.

“Rest well!”

Russell returned to Cigar Manor, enjoyed a delicious meal prepared together by Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Brown, and then slept contentedly.

The next day.

He took the blueprints of the Demon Tower and flew quickly towards the direction of Molten Fire Duchy, which is to the northeast.
