[Day 159]

Yesterday we flew for god knows how long.

We flew around the skies until the night fell and the vast bright blue skies turned pitch black.

However, instead of being complete darkness, the beautiful light of the moons, and the stars atop the skies.

Such a beautiful sight…

Ah…

When we returned back to Fuyu, it was already around 3 AM… We flew and explored lands we had yet to meet, we went past five mountain ranges and saw all sorts of forests and creatures roaming the vastness below.

And there were also other civilizations. We saw at least three more cities on our way through, all of them stuck near large rivers.

And as we followed the rivers.

Where did we ended?

In the ocean.

This was the first time I saw the ocean here, and it was also the first time for Benladann

Vast and beautiful waves of blue azure colors.

As we approached the ocean, the cold temperatures subsided.

I realized that Jotunheim is immensely vast and that it is not just a place where there is only ice.

The area where we were born is a region where most of the ice and cold is concentrated.

To the faraway lands down below the rivers and circling around the ocean's shores, there were green grasslands, beautiful and colorful flower fields, and even… jungles.

Such a vast world.

And this was but a single continent.

We couldn't get away for too long, however.

We had a home to go back to.

We landed near the flower fields, however, and had a picnic there. It was nice, and a beautiful change of pace.

But after that, we hurriedly flew back to Fuyu for I don't know how many kilometers.

I guess I can fly pretty fast now.

Though, when we were in the flower fields, I remember that we saw some people foraging around the forests, they had animal ears and wore leather and tribal clothes, they were all types of beast-kin.

They saw me in my dragon form and only opened their mouths wide, they ended running away right away.

Although a little beast girl remained admiring me.

And then she was carried away by her mother.

I guess I am really intimidating… well, that girl was brave I suppose.

It was for the better anyway, this way we can relax and be by ourselves with Benladann.

Oh well, now that we are back and we had slept well, it was time to wake up and say hello to a brand-new day.

Today is day 159, and day 164, is the day of the truth, the tournament.

I am expecting it with a lot of excitement. I want to crush these Elders with my people and show off our might to them.

And I will use this event to also… take over the Sect.

Indeed. I have decided.

This will be my show.

I shall unleash the powers of a Trickster Dragon and fill the entire City in Illusions.

I will fight the Sect Master, who had already been planning to kill me and conquer his place.

I know it is extreme. And I wouldn't have done it if this place didn't have things such as Dungeons we own.

But now, I have to be a bit more aggressive in my approaches. I have a child waiting for me and I cannot let these bastards annoy our futures with their stupid schemes.

Don't worry, I won't kill the Sect Master, he will become my good puppet, however.

Although the idea of eating his tasty Rank 4 Mana Core has surged within me, it is better to leave him alive. Of course, as a Trickster dragon, I have to do some trickery with his soul and mind.

I don't want to act rashly because that will call for the attention of all other sects allied to this one… Yep, there's an entire Sect Alliance in this area of the continent, Righteous Sects.

If they see a dragon taking over everything they'll surely come for my head.

And I've heard that even Immortals will notice me if I go doing damage to the mortals, they take care of.

This place, however, is of nobody, so I can be safe.

But in other Sects? I have to be careful.

Perhaps with Immortal Body I could even survive against the attack of an Immortal Magus.

But not my people, nor Benladann… So I have to be careful.

I already know there are several spies from other sects in here.

I got my own around the entire sect too, after all, one of them is constantly spying Lord Ice Moon and everything he talks about, so I know everything he had ever spoken.

Well, only since that meeting where I met him in person. Before, I wasn't able to.

Anyways, after the humiliation of the entire Ice Moon Sect, I will wait until night and unleash my Illusion Domain. And I will take down each Elder I don't like, while brainwashing Lord Ice Moon if possible.

But there are still quite some variables I must make sure to not miss.

The Illusion Domain is actually to catch the spies and brainwash them.

Indeed, they're spread everywhere… with my domain, I will merge it with dream magic and make an entire city sleep.

Some might try to resist it, but I will put extra care into it.

After I am done with things such as these, I will probably come sporadically to the sect through the Dungeon's Teleportation Gate I will set, while I set to travel into the rest of the continent, and well, the world.

So that's the plan for now…

But for today, we will go met Rakasha once more.

Benladann woke up with all the energies of the world this morning. She had a beautiful crown of flowers I made for her with the flowers I picked up from the flower fields, so she looked like a beautiful princess of the forests.

"How about we go met Rakasha today? I kind of want to check on Ruby." I said.

"Oh, sure!"
