Rise of the White Dragon
chapter-264

The next morning, Luan and Ingrid woke up.

After eating a little breakfast, they wore the armor. Although the spells prevented people from noticing them, Ingrid wore the veil, and Luan wore the mask.

Lenore left, and as always with the veil that hid her face.

Lenore looks at Luan and says nonchalantly, "Many think you're dead. That you didn't make it through the tribulation and died."

"Oh, and do you think I'm the real one or the fake one? Perhaps the son of the White Emperor." Luan asks in an amused tone. It was funny to some extent to hear that he died, as he did die, but not from the tribulation.

"At first I thought you were related." Lenore said indifferently: "But it didn't impress me much, but Nara was convinced it was you."

"Did you talk to her when?" Luan asked.

"As soon as you left. I talked about how you act and speak, appearance, etc. She said she looked like herself from the beginning…" Lenore stares at him as if she wants to see through the mask he wears.

"How do you communicate with her?" That's what Luan was interested in, if he can talk to her first it's better.

"Hehe, I won't talk." Lenore laughed for the first time, but it was cold and playful at the same time. She created a pair of wings and began to soar in the air.

"Looks like you really want me to wait." Luan said and turned to Ingrid: "If you want, we can go back, although I want to be reunited with Nara, I still care for your safety."

"Maybe we should..."

"Wait, don't go!" Lenore turns and speaks a little loudly, almost panicking: "She won't attack you. I've already talked about what you two fools did." She spoke coldly at the end.

Ingrid smiled through her veil. She did it on purpose. She wasn't so afraid of dying, but she wasn't going to put Luan's life at risk because of it. And now, she got the answer she wanted.

"We must stay, and wait," Ingrid said matter-of-factly, it didn't even sound like the same person speaking, as before she was so cautious and now she spoke so decisively.

It was at this point that Lenore realized she had been deceived. She looked at Ingrid not angrily but a little admiringly. Being cheated means the other party has a certain level of intelligence and was insightful enough to understand what she wanted and didn't want to happen. Thinking about the big picture, the choice of words, and the way she spoke caused Lenore to panic and reveal the truth.

Luan chuckled and took Ingrid's hand as clouds appeared after he'd finished putting everything away.

The spells cast by Lenore were undone when she waved her hand.

"Let's get going." Lenore didn't even turn around, she just said in a cold voice and started flying.

Ingrid smiled behind her veil, she was happy with Lenore's reaction. It was good that he didn't think she was easy to intimidate.

Luan had the cloud follow Lenore. The speed wasn't slow, it was so fast it created silhouettes of their afterimages.

*ROOOAR!*

The earth vibrated, and a dragon half blue and half red were visible.

"It's attacking a village, let's go fast!" Ingrid screamed urgently.

"Yes." Luan increased his speed. Lenore too.

Although it is a dragon of fire and ice, it was not acting fairly, but acting separately. At times the dragon released fire and at other times ice.

Ingrid took the pendant from her neck and made it transform into a beautiful and dangerous scythe. With a wave of the scythe, another scythe of blood came out.

*Whoosh!*

The hybrid dragon sensed danger coming towards him and dodged. However, the moment the blood scythe passed him, it came back as if it had attached a superelastic and pulled it towards the hybrid dragon.

*ROAR!*

The hybrid dragon roared loud and mighty, sending an icy roar toward the bloody sickle.

The power Ingrid unleashed was beyond the strength of the hybrid dragon, and it cut the ice roar in half and continued toward the hybrid dragon.

*ROARRRRR!*

The dragon roared in pain as he used one of his mighty clawed arms to defend himself and severed the body and the blood in the arm sucked to the limit, increasing the blood scythe's rotational speed, worse than an electric saw.

The hybrid dragon became frightened, and flew into the sky, in the air, clouds forming around him and trapped him.

Lenore, who earlier saved a couple of demi-human children who were nearly killed, came back and helped. She spun in the air like a pinwheel very fast and when she got in front of the hybrid dragon, at full speed, like a tornado, she slammed her heel into the dragon's head.

*CRACK!*

The sound of the dragon skull cracking echoed.

The hybrid dragon starts to roar strangely and throws ice and fire through its mouth in turns.

Ingrid controls the blood scythe, spinning in a ball in all directions, and begins grinding the hybrid dragon's chest, taking half the blood.

Luan practically teleports and stands in front of the dragon. With his right hand transformed into a dragon's claw, he pierced the hybrid dragon's neck and slashes at everything and with the other hand, he transforms and cuts everything in its path, tearing off the hybrid dragon's head with the white dragon's hands.

Holding his head, he places it in the storage ring. The body, he didn't turn it into credit. It was better than the other monsters with dragon blood, although only 20%, this one was a genuine dragon. By today's standards, it was useful to have the entire body.

Lenore walked over and drew the blood that was rightfully hers.

Luan looked at her and put away the dragon's body which was as big as a 5-story building. He had to squeeze the dragon well, now he was almost out of space.

"Thank you, Heroes, thank you!"

In the village that was half destroyed by the hybrid dragon, some who weren't hurt thanked them, even though they knew it was necessary to help those who were hurt, they couldn't go on without thanking their saviors; whether intentional or not.

Luan formed the clouds around the village. He didn't say a word when he received people's thanks, but the fact that they knew how to recognize it made him want to help them.

Heavy, hot rain starts to fall. Both ice and fire began to fade. Although it was all flooded, they weren't cats that were afraid of water. At least that way, he saved the lives of as many demi-humans as possible.

'Exactly as Nara said…' Lenore looks in Luan's direction and whispers in her mind.

"Let's go back," Luan says next.

The demi-humans screamed and cried a lot. They wanted to thank them better, but seeing that they were leaving, they waved as they parted with tears. Many, it was happiness, others were a mixture, as they lost loved ones.

Luan made the clouds descend and save at least the corpses of those who were killed. And duly delivered it to the survivors.

This did not go unnoticed by Lenore and Ingrid.

Although he seems indifferent, the things he did do not match what he appears to be.

Heading back south, where the weather was colder and colder, they didn't stop this time.

"I will take you. No need to rest." Luan said nonchalantly and without her consent, he starts carrying her with the cloud.

Lenore just snorted coldly but didn't deny it. It was better this way, she was also eager to return.

"Bastard!" Lenore created a pair of wings and flight. Miles away, with her vampiric vision, Lenore spotted Goblin-like living beings attacking the Walruses.

It was just a group of 100 with maximum power in the Fourth Order. And that's just using the Qi and the body together.

The instant Lenore arrives, she uses her power to freeze. Her hands were like sharp claws, nails sharper than razors, and started to tear apart the 'Goblins' that were attacking the Walruses.

Blood runs, but not for long, she takes out the gourd and sucks all the blood inside.

The Silver Fang Walruses begin to make sounds like a lion's roar, but with water along, it was not an unpleasant sound, but a strange one.

9 walruses died. Lenore mourned their death, she was in this place for a few years, and became friends with the Silver Fang Walruses. Strangely, she named each of them, and when she saw the nine who died, she called their names and gave a human burial.

Luan had already arrived with Ingrid, but they remained silent. The emotional attachment Lenore had, they didn't, and they wouldn't pretend to be sad to please her, but at least they were respectful and didn't make silly comments of comfort.

Luan went down near the cave, he and Ingrid spent a few minutes looking at Lenore's actions before entering the cabin.

Ingrid 'drank' a lot of blood, now she needed to digest and have a head start.
