Chapter 1184 – 1184. Feel Fear?


    "You are young enough still to learn. Remember me and those beneath me. I shall return on my journey back. Be prepared to offer a sincere apology and I may make your little forest flourish." Walker stepped down and retired to the side of Midnight and Su. they were sure that they needed to remain calm and act as if walking along the massive floral tortious back was fine.


    Even as the floral tortoise Sylvan lowered himself back in to the earth as if he had never moved, he took a nce above to his shell. Walker did not miss this since it was all too obvious with Sylvan extending his head in such a strange way. Walker nced at Midnight who released a slight growl causing a quick ration in Sylvan. The tortoise returned to its original position full of more questions than it had ever had within its long life.


    The moment that they crossed the farthest threshold of the forest which was also the end of Sylvan''s shell, the fog disappeared proving it was only caused by the tortoise himself to hide away the entrance. Not only this, but a statue the same size as arge dragon greeted them. On the side, Walker could make out anguage he was sure only the dragons knew. But what astounded him was the fact that the symbols seemed to change and be readable without him using his skills.


    ''The skill draconguage has been forcefully learned due to the draconic rtions the user possesses. The user will now and forever be able to understand any and all draconguages.


    Draconguage- passive


    This is the time wornnguage of the dragons. Created by them, for them, and used constantly. Their tongue rtes deeply with purified mana and is often found at sights of great battle or memorial. The discovery of the draconguage can cause entire races to move away or toward the source due to fear or awe.''


    The skill description was a little oddpared to what Walker expected. However, he understood why he would learn it. For Midnight and Su, it was in their blood. Walker was bonded with them and that meant that he too would have the same effect. It was a little odd though, he could feel the temperature of his blood warming slightly while reading the words on the statue.


    "The great dragon, father of all dragons, greets the one that shall walk upon thisnd. Bow and greet your heritage." Walker read it out loud and knew that respecting this statue was part of the journey they would take. He was already watching as Midnight bowed her head slightly. She had also felt the connection that Walker had. Even Su had understood it and showed a calm and serious expression.


    They looked upon the statue of therge spiky dragon which seemed to have power over them even though it was just a statue. It was impressive how detailed it was and made them all feel as if it would jump off the pedestal and attack them in an instant. "The tail points up and to the right. We head that way." Walker remembered the instructions he had been given and followed the point of the tail so that they would be able to make it to the royal dragon court.


    "The trail is a lot less overgrown than I expected. Only a few dry bushes and grasses here and there. Not much ice or snow though. I wonder…Tracks." Su was in the middle of wondering why the trail that they were following would be less icy and snow covered along with theck of nt life. Yet, as she started to inspect it carefully she was able to make out some small andrger animal or monster tracks.


    "Now it feels like we need Gil so that he might be able to tell us what the tracks are from. But we can keep moving. We are ready for this. We knew that the trail would be more popted by animals and monsters. It only makes sense that they would take over the trail and travel it themselves in some way." They had already spoken about this and were mentally prepared, this was what they had been training for. But this didn''t stop Walker from trying to use the all around appraisal skill on therger tracks that were clearer on the ground.


    ''Steel shell armadillo tracks


    Tracks of a young steel shell armadillo. They are verymon within mountains and will rarely attack since they prefer to roll in to a sturdy ball for defense.


    Spiny lizard tracks


    The spiny lizard is barely reaching adulthood and has just awoken from slumber. They are very aggressive but much weaker than normal.


    Rogue dragon w marks


    This is a subspecies of dragon that has been kicked from the nest for being impure in bloodline or pride. They lose much of the elemental affinity and be berserk. They are extremely aggressive and often attack dragonkin in revenge. They are often very susceptible to magical attacks due to their rejection of mana.''


    "What did you just say?" There was a stunned moment of silence after Su asked her question to Walker. He too was a little stunned to read that dragons would kick some from the nest and that the kicked one would reject mana purity.


    "Rogue dragon…but it says weak to magical attacks so we should have some advantage. It also says it attacks dragonkin so we may be able to deter it to some degree. We are not like them or the dragonkin technically." Walker wasn''t very sure about this so he was sure to change the eternal orb in to staff form for safety. He would have his mana at the ready the entire hike through the mountains to the royal dragon court.
