Dragon of Catastrophe-Chapter 523 - 192: Giant Beast Paradise (Part 2)

"Pitiful creature, you have no privacy before me, you are utterly bare from start to finish."

"The first time, your foolishness cost you your lower half."

"The second time, your deception cost you your body."

"Now you have only a head."

"If you continue to lie, there won’t be a next time."

"Now, tell me where Doldoros is?"

"I... I know, but, if I really tell you the location, will you truly let me go?"

Wizard Tole spoke with some difficulty.

"To someone as weak as you, I disdain to deceive."

"Fine, Doldoros is over there!"

Wizard Tole used his remaining energy to lift his head and slowly rotated to look southwest.

"There, at least 38 light-years away."

"38 light-years away..."

Land murmured.

The distance was indeed very far.

Even at his maximum speed, which was 1000 times the speed of sound, it was still far from the speed of light.

The speed of light would take 38 years, how long would 1000 times the speed of sound take? 2000 years?

Don’t be ridiculous, if it really took over 20000 years, he would have long returned to crush Losanda.

However...

Even for such a distance, he wasn’t completely without means.

Immediately, he carved a Teleportation Gate in the void.

Teleportation Gate.

It is generally divided into Plane Teleportation Gate and long-distance teleportation gate within the same plane.

The magic power consumption of a Plane Teleportation Gate, to be honest, isn’t that large.

For example,

When the plane teleportation gate is opened, it is like making a hole on two overlapping sheets of paper, allowing the caster to fall directly onto the other sheet.

But teleportation within the same plane involves connecting distances at opposite ends of the world.

Constructing a high-speed passage from this naturally massively increases magic power consumption.

Some might ask,

if so, why not directly open a teleportation gate to return to the Abyss, and then open another to reach the destination?

This is a way.

But the cost to return to the Abyss is too great, with the risk of being caught.

After all, ten years ago, that Losanda fellow has been wanting to catch him.

Additionally,

Even if he returned to the Abyss, he doesn’t know the exact coordinates of Doldoros.

Hence, he can only choose to use a long-distance teleportation gate to travel.

It took him about ten minutes to finish carving a teleportation array, then he stepped into it.

After his entire silhouette disappeared, he reappeared a light-year away!

"Puff~ Puff~"

Land panted heavily, absorbing a trace of energy from the starry sky.

A hint of surprise appeared on the dragon’s face.

This teleportation drained almost all his magic power.

Even the secondary magic power source was more than half consumed...

The consumption of magic power for a one-light-year teleport was somewhat beyond Land’s expectations.

He examined his surroundings.

The few stars in this Star Realm clearly were much better than the previous ones.

He even saw some metal blocks on some of the planets.

This stirred his heart, and he directly descended onto one of these planets to feast.

It took him about 24 hours.

After devouring a piece of land 5000 meters by 5000 meters by 5000 meters, he finally restored his magic power.

Afterwards, he did not hurry to leave.

Instead, he unfolded his Dragon Wings and unleashed the Dragon Flame Hundred Lights upon the terrain of this planet.

Countless crimson rays of light frantically swept across the earth, melting it.

This planet wasn’t big, at most half the diameter of the moon.

Under Land’s full firepower, it lasted only about an hour before being completely incinerated.

Only a core remained intact.

This core was crimson, like a gem.

With a diameter of about ten kilometers.

Land gazed at this gem, his eyes shining, immediately flying to it and climbed atop, fervently kissing the core.

He shouted excitedly:

"Rich! I’m rich! Hahaha! Such things are no different than rubies, they must be extremely precious treasures!

This is the crystallization of an entire planet!

How much could it be worth?"

"..."

Tole watched the True Dragon in its wild joy.

Yet his face was blank.

What was this True Dragon doing?

Was its act of burning down this small planet just for the current planetary core?

Wait!

About the True Dragons of Ayo World.

Wizard Tole remembered some information about them.

They seemed to be a greedy race.

They loved treasures, shiny things, and valuable items.

And now, this planetary core,

flickering crimson, like a ruby, seemed equally valuable in its eyes?

However...

Gazing upon the planetary core before him, Wizard Tole fell silent.

"What is this? And what’s its value? Do you know?"

Land suddenly asked.

He looked somewhat expectantly at Tole.

"This is Redna Crystal... As for value, it’s been classified by the Empire as a low-value mineral, this type of mineral is extremely abundant throughout the cosmos.

It’s generally just used as raw material for household items and other not-so-valuable things."

Wizard Tole cautiously responded.

"Value... extremely low?"

Land’s face suddenly became somewhat unpleasant.

Rumor has it, in the cosmic starry sky, gemstones, diamonds, and gold are everywhere.

Many planets are even composed of these precious metals.

Why had he encountered none of this?

Does this make sense?

This doesn’t make sense!

Land felt somewhat miffed, yet still cuddled Tole’s head and fell asleep upon it. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

But he fell asleep quickly and woke up just as fast.

Compared to before he slept, his expression was worse!

Tole did not understand why.

This was naturally because Land, upon just falling asleep, did not hear the system prompt he hoped for.
