Thea grabbed him in time and said in a soft voice, “I’m alright.”
Thomas did not leave. “It's possible that Thea has absorbed all of the blood's energy,” he said after pondering for a
while. “That’s why she’s like this. There’s only one way to save her now. That is, to slay the dragon. Using the
dragon’s blood…”
"You planned this a long time ago, didn't you?" James gave Thomas a cold stare while slowly saying, “You knew
from the start that after Thea absorbed the blood's energy, her blood would lose its vitality and the ability to
regenerate. Your goal is to force me and Thea to slay the dragon, right?
“I can let it slide when you manipulate others. But I'm your grandson, and you're trying to manipulate even me?”
James roared.
“I’m not.” Thomas explained, “Whether or not you believe me, I never misled you. I don't want you to get involved
either. However, you already have the Dragonslayer. It was created specifically to slay a dragon. You'll have a much
better chance of succeeding if you use it to slay the dragon.”
“I’ll go.” James exhaled a deep breath. “Whatever you're planning, I'm going to kill this dragon. I'm not trying to

After saying that, James pulled Thea along with him and left.
Callan gave Thomas a quick glance before following James in silence.
Thomas watched as James walked away, a resigned expression on his face.
When James arrived outside the Divine Sword Villa, he found the helicopter stationed there.
For these few days, the people from the military region had been waiting.
After James and the others boarded the helicopter, it quickly took off and headed toward a military base in a nearby
city.
On the helicopter, Thea held James’ hand and said softly, “Sir Caden isn't like that. I believe him. Don't hold it
against him anymore.”
James took a deep breath and said, “I have no idea what Grandfather is up to. I can't read him at all. What kind of a
person is he?”
“Not a good person, for sure,” Callan spoke from the side.
"How do you know that?" James asked, turning his body to face him.
Callan said, “For decades, he kept himself hidden and stayed under the radar, deceiving a large number of people
before killing the Spirit Turtle. Now, he's trying to trick someone into slaying the dragon again. Thomas is extremely
ambitious. He’s even more ambitious than Lucjan.
“Lucjan only wanted to stand atop the global pyramid, to be the best in the world. But Thomas is different. Being
the best in the world isn’t his dream. He wants to be immortal. He wants to establish a kingdom that belongs to
him.”
As Callan said that, he looked at James and reminded him, “Even though he’s your grandfather, I must remind you
to be more cautious when interacting with him in the future. Don't let him fool you. He’s a master of disguise. He
has the ability to transform into a variety of people. Who knows what other personas he may still possess.”
“Thanks for your reminder. I'll be careful.”
James had lost some of his faith in Thomas.
The helicopter quickly took off.
Soon, they were back at the military base in a nearby city. James then boarded a private plane for their flight back
to the Capital.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was already afternoon when they arrived in the Capital.
At the courtyard that Thea had bought in the Capital…
James drew the Dragonslayer, caressing the golden blade gently.
“Thea, I think... This sword should no longer be called the Dragonslayer.”
He looked at Thea, who was seated in a nearby gazebo.
“Then what should it be called?” Thea asked, smiling.
James walked over and sat down. “The Crucifier's predecessor is the Primordial Sword, which was made by King
Quavon. Now, the Primordial Sword and the Dragonslayer have fused. I believe it should be called the Primordial
Dragon Blade.
Thea laughed and said, “It's a sword. Whatever it's called, it’s the same. It's just a name.”
“Alright. ‘Primordial Dragon Blade’ should be its name then.”
After hearing Thea’s affirmation, James laughed as well.
He raised the sword in his hand and waved it around, a determined expression on his face. He said, “Within three
years, I’ll reach the ninth rank. With the Primordial Dragon Blade, I'll slay the dragon and draw its blood to save
you.”
