Game World: I Can Share Talents-Chapter 38: Scorching Wings

Westheid had personally analyzed the instances in the "Dragon Calamity Era" series over and over again, so his greatest strength was the information gap.

An absolute information gap was an overwhelming advantage. With just a little thought, he could orchestrate the perfect situation.

Westheid already had an idea, but first, he needed to bring his teammates up to speed.

The conversation with Tudor had gone smoothly. Perhaps the Giant Dragon was indeed a bit stupid, or more likely, Westheid had leveraged Reiya’s bloodline to intimidate him, leaving him too scared to question or talk back. In any case, they had muddled through.

But negotiations with a Legendary Dragon Species couldn’t be handled by Westheid alone. Reiya couldn’t just stand there like a wooden doll without saying a word; that absolutely wouldn’t work.

Therefore, Reiya not only had to learn authentic Ancient Dragon Language, but also gain some knowledge about the current state of the Dragon Race.

To Westheid’s relief, the Silver-haired Dragon Lady said she already knew Dragon Language. She was just a bit unfamiliar with Ancient Dragon Language, and since the differences weren’t too great, she only needed to review it a little to master it.

This solved the most difficult part of the problem. Westheid couldn’t help but praise her repeatedly:

"You’re so knowledgeable, Reiya."

Reiya just shook her head gently. "I used to learn obscure and complicated things to pass the time. It was the only thing I could really consider entertainment."

Westheid immediately turned to put pressure on his "dear" little sister. "Yolanda, you’re the only ignorant one in our party now."

Yolanda crossed her arms and huffed. "So what? I don’t need that kind of scholarly knowledge. As a member of the Qinghui Clan, talent in combat and ruling is all that matters."

"But you, brother, why do you know so much strange trivia... Wait, I remember you were reading *Dragon Calamity Era Decryption* before. Did you know the content of this Trial all along?"

Westheid replied, "I guessed. Historical snippets about the Dragon Calamity have always been a popular topic for Secret Realm Trials. I just got lucky this time and my bet paid off."

’Did he really just get lucky?’

Yolanda recalled Westheid’s confident demeanor and had her serious doubts.

But since Westheid claimed he’d guessed, she decided to take his word for it. In any case, she wasn’t about to complain about this kind of luck.

It was a good thing, with no downsides.

The preparation time in the Dragon Tower passed in a flash. During this period, Teacher Da Wei tutored his two students with all his might, finally achieving satisfactory results by the morning of the third day.

Just then, Tudor returned to report to Reiya with information about Scorching Wings.

"Your Eminence... Her Highness Reiya. My master said he will come at once. He sent me ahead. As is his custom, my master will not delay. He will arrive today at the latest. Please be prepared to meet with him then."

"I understand."

Reiya replied, looking out the window. The Dragon Descendant servants of the High Court were frantically preparing the reception area.

To be precise, they were clearing a huge open space and covering it with warm, smooth pebbles. A large number of servants knelt around the perimeter of the clearing, quietly awaiting the arrival of the Legendary True Dragon who ruled the Kepal Plain.

Westheid asked, "You remember what you need to say, right?"

Reiya nodded. "I’ve memorized it completely."

"Good. Then there shouldn’t be any problems."

After waiting for several hours, Westheid and the others finally left their room and went to the center of the High Court.

Along with a sudden, oppressive pressure, the Dragon Descendants of the High Court all fell to their knees in unison.

RUMBLE—

A low, deep rumble echoed from the clouds, heralding the appearance of something colossal.

RUMBLE—

The thick clouds were torn asunder, and a breathtakingly massive shadow appeared high above the tower.

How could one even begin to describe the true form of a Legendary Dragon Species?

If Tudor was a perfect example of the term "Giant Dragon," then this Legendary Dragon Species, easily measuring hundreds of meters, redefined the very meaning of the word.

Obsidian-like Dragon Scales covered its entire body. Its majestic frame was filled with a sense of power, and between the scales, a crimson light flowed, pulsating faintly like a breath.

With wings that blotted out the sun, Scorching Wings was like a soaring, living volcano of blackest night.

Eternally burning embers spread across its pitch-black wings, constantly dripping blood-like sparks downward.

These streams of fire, laced with sulfur and lava, fell to the ground, splashing up terrifying waves of heat.

Merely by hovering in the sky, its downward-cast crimson gaze and the shadow it cast were so heavy and oppressive that it became difficult to breathe.

Every gust of hot wind, mixed with sparks and embers, felt like the aftershock of a storm washing over the High Court. The very air seemed to be filled with dry, crackling sparks.

"Is this... a Legendary Demon... a Legendary Dragon Species?"

Yolanda’s beautiful eyes widened as she stammered in a daze. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Yeah, its presence is overwhelming. Just the Dragon Might alone is making it hard for me to stand."

Westheid sighed. Facing a Legendary Dragon Species in person, he realized its instinctively radiating Dragon Might was already putting everyone’s willpower to the test.

His legs were already trembling. The Dragon Might was like an invisible tide, crashing against his mind and consciousness again and again, growing heavier as Scorching Wings drew closer.

THUMP— THUMP—

A heavy, strained thumping came from his heart, each agonizing pang worse than the last.

When Scorching Wings finally landed in the clearing, it was as if a Great Obsidian Mountain had descended before them.

Westheid could only clutch his chest tightly. The swelling in his heart felt like it would burst at any second, yet even so, he kept his head held high, his fervent gaze fixed on the Giant Dragon’s form.

The only one who could stand there completely unaffected was Reiya. The Silver-haired Dragon Lady noticed Westheid’s condition and looked up, speaking faintly:

"Scorching Wings, do you intend to appear before me like this? Forcing me to look up at you?"

"HUUFF..."

The massive Legendary Giant Dragon exhaled softly, but what came out was a shower of sparks mixed with thick black smoke.

"I would not commit such a discourtesy."

Instantly, the Legendary Giant Dragon’s form vanished, and Scorching Wings transformed into his Dragon Descendant form.

This also saved the sweat-drenched Westheid from the embarrassing fate of collapsing to his knees.

Scorching Wings’s Dragon Descendant form was that of a tall, slender man with smooth, black hair and crimson eyes. He spoke with a distinctly smoky voice.

"I heard from my servants that one with the Divine Ancestor’s True Blood has come to my domain. Why would such an esteemed Highness come to the Kepal Plain, to my territory, without even informing me?"

"Furthermore, I have never heard of a Her Highness Reiya among those with the Divine Ancestor’s True Blood. Am I simply ill-informed, or is there another reason for this?"

As expected, a Legendary True Dragon wasn’t so easily fooled. Scorching Wings came right out with the critical questions.

"Her Highness Reiya is a bloodline secretly left behind by the Divine Ancestor, for this very moment."

Westheid said, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Scorching Wings gave Westheid a cold look. "A human?"

His brow furrowed, less with anger and more with confusion.

’How is a mere lowly slave still standing before me?’

’Or rather, who gave him permission to stand?’

"He is my Star Fury Power."

Reiya explained at the perfect moment, her expression perfectly natural.

"Oh."

Scorching Wings’s furrowed brow relaxed in understanding.

Among the Dragon Race, this statement was a panacea, a universal answer that could resolve any confusion.

Scorching Wings then continued, "I have had an audience with all of the Divine Ancestor’s well-known Direct Lineages: the Wings of Death, the Wings of the Setting Sun, and the Evergreen Wings. May I ask which Highness’s heir Her Highness Reiya is?"

Reiya shook her head. "None of them. I am not of the pure-blooded Dragon Race, but a descendant secretly left behind by the Divine Ancestor."

Scorching Wings said flatly, "Although your blood does indeed originate from the Divine Ancestor... I’m afraid I cannot accept that explanation. If any of the Divine Ancestor’s True Blood were to be made public, the great Star Abyss Wings would surely have issued a divine oracle."
