"That bastard," Darius muttered but there was a grin on his face as he finally understood that Adrian didn't really think of him as weak.
He just wanted to light that fire of defiance within him, which would them work to send him to this place.
His rival truly was a genius.
Darius didn't even think to question how Adrian had all that knowledge about a bloodline that anything was barely known about.
The dragon ignored his tone or the curse, and slowly stepped back, its massive form casting a long shadow over him.
{Regardless, you are here now, and that means you will be tested.}
A grin slowly forming on his face, knowing that he would also be granted a chance to awaken it, just as Adrian had promised.
"Finally."
{If you fail,} the dragon continued, {your consciousness will shatter and your body will follow.}
He then cracked his neck slightly, the grin still on his face even as he heard the dragon's words, "sounds fun, who am I fighting first?"
