Volume 3 + Chapter 81: Trample Down The Dragon Kingdom
Due to his physical condition, Wright must undergo regular examinations to ensure he remains in a stable state.
Today is the day for one of those routine check-ups.
But the doctor appeared nonchalant, which displeased Wright.
“Doctor, hurry up. You’ve already delayed a long time. This kind of perfunctory work attitude is really unsatisfactory. If you continue to slack off like this, I think it’s necessary to report it to the higher-ups.”
Perfunctory?
Just bored, that’s all.
The doctor thought to herself.
She actually wanted to perform more extreme experiments, but her family wouldn’t allow it.
So many people had died before Wright, the sole surviving test subject, was finally born. He must be raised with the utmost care.
This was seen as the only act capable of defeating the Dragon Clan. Whether it was the family or the high-ranking officials of the human world, they were all practically pressing the doctor’s head down, forcing her to restrain herself.
She looked at Wright.
A test subject who originally had no human rights had now suddenly become a hero of the human world…
Heh.
Suddenly, the doctor laughed and had an interesting idea. She tossed out an alchemical potion.
“Wright, catch—this is for you,” the doctor said.
It was a leftover transformation potion from a previous test with Xia Yi.
She had tasted it before. The potion wasn’t harmful to the human body, just terribly bitter—she simply wanted to disgust the great hero of the human world a little.
Wright caught the alchemical potion, uncorked it, and immediately smelled an awful stench.
“You… are you sure this is drinkable?”
“Good medicine tastes bitter—ever heard of that? This is good for your body.”
“…”
After a brief silence, Wright drank it. As he tasted the flavor, his face instantly changed.
“Wright, don’t spit it out. Drink it slowly, or it won’t be effective,” the doctor said seriously. “This is all for your own good. A great hero can’t be defeated by a bit of bitterness, can he?”
“This is just… too disgusting…!”
Wright struggled to endure the strange taste and forced down the alchemical potion.
Once he finished, the doctor almost burst out laughing.
“Let me check—let’s see if it made you taller, or gave you a bigger chest? Hee hee.”
“Clarie, you…!”
Seeing the doctor’s mischievous grin, Wright instantly realized he had been pranked. He stood up, but before taking a step, everything went black, and he collapsed to the ground.
“Whoa now, that’s a bit much. I drank a little and just vomited a bit, but you, the human Sword Saint, actually passed out?” the doctor shook her head.
The surrounding alchemists were panicking.
If the Sword Saint decided to hold someone accountable, none of them would be spared!
Wright’s condition was under observation not only by Rhine Alchemy but also by the other three great Rhine families. After all, he was the hope of defeating the Dragon Clan!
And the doctor just did this as a prank?
Insane!
That’s what everyone was thinking.
“Enough, this is boring. Put him on the examination table and proceed with the routine tests,” the doctor began giving orders. “First, collect his blood and examine the state of his hybridization. After that, check the physical attributes to see whether any dragon traits have manifested and how far the Dragonification has progressed.”
“Understood.”
The other alchemists began executing the doctor’s commands.
After a while—
“Doctor!!”
The alchemist in charge of the blood test shouted in alarm.
“What is it? Don’t make a fuss,” the doctor walked over. “Did he lose control again by recklessly using his power?”
“N-no!!” the alchemist stammered, “The Sword Saint’s blood is showing a stable hybrid state—and it’s extremely stable—something we’ve never seen before!”
The doctor’s expression changed abruptly and she rushed over to check the results.
Indeed, it was a remarkably stable state.
Previously, Wright’s blood was like dynamite. If the power in his dragon blood was excessively activated, it would destabilize his hybrid state, causing uncontrollable Dragonification and a complete loss of rationality.
Just like that time back at the Laurel Academy, when he almost strangled someone to death in a carriage.
Even if he didn’t activate his dragon form, he was like magma at the brink of eruption.
Yet now… he was as calm as a still lake. How could that not be shocking?
The doctor could hardly believe her eyes.
“Doctor, the Dragonified features on the Sword Saint are gone too—there aren’t even dragon scales!” The alchemist examining his body also reported. “The degree of Dragonification has been suppressed!”
This was unprecedented. The entire lab of alchemists was ecstatic.
“A miracle! The gods have blessed us!”
“A human who can truly control the power of dragons is about to be born! If this continues, surpassing the Dragon Clan is totally possible!”
“Humanity will rise! Trampling the Dragon Kingdom is within reach!!”
Everyone was lost in a state of wild joy.
Everyone except the doctor. She narrowed her eyes and calmly thought things through.
She didn’t believe Wright’s sudden change was without cause.
Everything happens for a reason.
The doctor’s gaze slowly shifted to that bottle of alchemical potion made by Xia Yi.
Wright changed after drinking the potion, so that means…
“Could it be… her?”
…
Xia Yi had returned to Laurel City.
She wasn’t too late—there was still some time before dinner, and she could even stroll around a bit.
“This makes things so much easier~”
She took out her alchemist certification and looked at it again.
Now, the issue of making the transformation potion was completely resolved.
The cheerful little princess hummed as she strolled around the city, visiting several stores and buying manga, planning to enjoy them later that evening.
“Da-da-da~”
On the way, Xia Yi bought a bunch of snacks and small eats, munching as she walked.
So satisfying—snacking like crazy before dinner and no one to scold her.
If it were before, Serra definitely wouldn’t allow it. And if Xia Lulu found out, she’d definitely be punished.
But outside, no one’s in charge. She can do whatever she wants. It’s great~
While eating a crepe, Xia Yi was suddenly startled.
She noticed that as she walked past a glass window, her reflection wasn’t moving in sync.
Even though she had already walked past the glass, her reflection was still standing there, staring in a certain direction.
Haunted!!
Xia Yi turned and was about to run—but suddenly realized it might not be a ghost, but her inner demon.
“Inner demon, what do you want to do?”
Xia Yi stepped up to her inner demon’s reflection and asked curiously.
“…”
The reflected inner demon didn’t speak, just stared in a daze at a particular shop.
The little princess was puzzled. She followed her inner demon’s line of sight—and when she saw the store clearly, she was very surprised.
Her inner demon… was interested in that kind of thing?
