In a panic, Wyatt hurriedly followed the spiritual body of the Elder Anesthesia Dragon, witnessing its return to its true body undergoing a transformation amid a veil of blood fog. Relief washed over Wyatt as he realized the Dragon had not chosen to escape alone. Had the Dragon opted to escape using its Dream Escape ability, the massive gray devil would have surely targeted him. Even if Wyattʼs status as the only World Calamity Tree did not interest the devil, it would still have pursued him simply for being by the Dragonʼs side, believing Wyatt and the Dragon were acquainted.

In an instant, the blood fog surrounding the Elder Anesthesia Dragonʼs true body dissipated, revealing the Giant Dragonoid—a fusion of dragon and humanoid form—standing with its eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

ʼIt must be the Elder Anesthesia Dragonʼs Wardragon form,ʼ Wyatt mused, observing the Dragonoid. Its iconic long beard remained unchanged, while its twin horns formed a crown atop its head. The long pair of wings folded neatly on its back, and its whip-like tail swept the blood-ruled surface unable to sit still, it wasnʼt clear if it was out of excitement for the upcoming battle or out of uncertainty.

Wyatt quickly deduced that the spiritual body of the Elder Anesthesia Dragon was controlling the dormant body of the Dragon using the runes Sleep Golem and Blood Puppet. However, before he could finalize his conclusion, he noticed that the countless rule slaves who had succumbed to the Dragonʼs sleep breath ability suddenly rose to their feet, still in a state of slumber.

Observing the rule slaves now standing, Wyatt realized that they had been transformed into sleep golems, and were being manipulated with precision through blood puppet rune by the Dragon. Once again, he was astonished by the remarkable abilities of the Dragon.

”Nazaka, hide. I will end this quickly, once and for all,” the Elder Anesthesia Dragon said, throwing a huge turtle shell-like shield his way.

Wyatt extended his branches to catch the shell shield and hid under it. Just then he heard the ginormous humanoid devil say, ”My dear Raul, we finally meet.”

”Donʼt ruin my beautiful name by calling me that, you disgusting freak,” the Elder Anesthesia Dragon yelled furiously hearing the devil give it a nickname. It appeared as if just the sight and sound of the devil were enough to stir the Dragonʼs rage.

”Feisty as ever I see, just the way I like it” the devil replied vulgarly. The dragonʼs rage only seemed to add to the excitement of the devil. Confusing Wyatt, who happened to be peeping on the two of them.

”Do you know how many young and elder Anesthesia Dragons I had to sleep with to try and recreate our night together?” the devil uttered with profound sorrow, each word heavy with the weight of its emotions.

”Donʼt you dare speak of that night!” the Dragon roared furiously, its anger palpable in the air. Despite its agitation, however, the Dragon refrained from launching an attack on the devil before it. The memories of the consequences of such actions were still fresh in its mind, serving as a potent reminder of the danger of recklessness.

Despite the devilʼs attempts to provoke it with references to that unfortunate night, the Dragon exerted control over its raging emotions. It understood that in the face of such a formidable opponent, maintaining composure was paramount. Rather than succumbing to a petty provocation, the Dragon focused on its strengths, recognizing that agility and strategy were its greatest assets in this confrontation. Refusing to be goaded into a rash response, the Dragon stood firm with its own calculations.

”How can I not bring that up? That night, you appeared in my dream and stirred up emotions within me that I didnʼt even know existed. Just as I was starting to relish the satisfaction, you vanished, leaving me stranded. Since then, Iʼve searched for you tirelessly, yearning to recreate the passion we shared that night, but youʼve remained out of reach. Forced to cope, I sought solace in the arms of other Anesthesia Dragons, but no matter how many encounters Iʼve had, none have been able to come close to erasing the memory of you and that night,” The devilʼs response was laden with disappointment and anguish, revealing the depth of its longing for the Elder Anesthesia Dragon. It made no attempts to mask the pain, the raw emotion in its voice perfectly expressed its true feelings.

However, the devilʼs words fell into the Elder Anesthesia Dragonʼs ears as a mockery of its existence. The Dragonʼs anger flared at the devilʼs mocking words, refusing to be provoked by its false claims. As the devil persisted in its accusations, recounting the pleasure it had discovered in the wake of their encounter, the Dragonʼs fury reached its boiling point. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapterʼs release on Noʼv3l--B1n.

”How dare you mock me? Others might be afraid of your family, but I am not one of them. Since you have come to my doorsteps on your own accord, then let me complete my assassination mission which I could not that night,” the Elder Anesthesia Dragon was pissed, listening to the devil. It kept claiming that because of the dragon, he discovered a new realm of pleasure and to satisfy it he hunted down and defiled the other Anesthesia Dragon. Especially since the Elder Anesthesia Dragon was nowhere to be found.

The Dragon could not help but erupt, as the devil blamed him for its actions of hunting and defiling other innocent Anesthesia Dragons. The Dragon did not let the devilʼs words get to it as it believed even without it the devil had already been hunting down the anesthesia Dragons. Which is why it attempted to assassinate him in the first place.

Fueled by righteous anger, the Elder Anesthesia Dragonʼs emotions erupted in response to the devilʼs accusations, refusing to bear the blame for the atrocities it had committed. The Dragon stood firm in its conviction, unwilling to let the devilʼs words sway its resolve. Despite the devilʼs attempts to shift the blame, the Dragon remained steadfast in its belief that its only mistake was failing to assassinate the devil that unfortunate night.
