The two figures, one in front and one behind, swiftly flew toward the core area of the Kawa Great Forest.

The dense jungle below, like a green sea, quickly receded behind them.

Austin followed behind Guppa, pondering past events in his mind.

The King of Frost Giants, Laufey — Austin learned about this guy from the few Frost Giants captured within the tribe.

"Could it be because of the grudge I incurred when I destroyed that Frost Giant tribe back then?"

It's possible.

Perhaps the King of Frost Giants has some unknowable secret with that tribe.

Otherwise, how could the remaining female Frost Giants of that tribe know specific information about Laufey?

It's important to note that Austin was able to identify Laufey through the intelligence gathered from the remnants of that Frost Giant tribe.

From the words of that guy, it seems likely to be the case.

If this is the case, then does the matter relate to the unknown human envoy group that perished in that Frost Giant tribe?

Austin had to ponder deeply.

Judging by the King's words, it seems he specifically waited here for Austin for some time.

Perhaps Austin unwittingly got entangled in a certain matter.

It's a pity Austin acted too fast before and the remaining Frost Giants of that tribe were merely peripheral figures, unclear about many things.

"There's nothing to be done, I can only take things one step at a time."

Although the King of Frost Giants is strong, he is truly of the High Tier in the Legendary Realm.

This High Tier is unlike the Pure-blooded Beastman Tyr, who suffered significant damage and whose power is restricted by a greater force.

Rather, his power is genuinely at the High Tier in the Legendary Realm.

But so what? Austin isn't entirely without resistance either.

After devouring the Immortal Law, his strength has significantly increased; even when facing a stronger opponent, he isn't without means.

The previous clash with Laufey was evidence of this.

In reality, when facing the King of Frost Giants' full-force attack, Austin's dragon bones between his claws cracked under the hurried assault.

Yet, in a brief instant thereafter, accompanied by the circulation of the Immortal Law within his body, he instantly recovered as if nothing happened, merely shaking his claw without any injury.

This is the confidence Austin has in confronting them!

Anyone facing an enemy who heals instantly after being injured would feel despair.

If that guy dares to seek trouble, Austin will definitely entertain him thoroughly.

Austin buried Laufey's matter deep in his heart.

He closely followed behind Guppa, continuously flying into the core area.

"Little guy, you quite surprise me."

Suddenly, while flying in mid-air, Guppa spoke aloud.

The sudden voice startled Austin.

"I don't dare, all thanks to the senior's appreciation, and my rapid promotion wouldn't be possible without your help."

Austin replied quickly.

This mysterious bald figure before him is clearly an incredibly powerful entity.

Not to mention anything else, just a sentence from him forced the King of Frost Giants to retreat.

That alone is enough to show his strength.

Moreover, Guppa initially gifted him a scale, granting Austin the opportunity to don the tiger skin of Celestial Dragon Island.

Even though Austin didn't know what Celestial Dragon Island was, it didn't prevent him from using this tiger skin to seize his most important development stage.

If not for this tiger skin, he and his Dragon Nest Tribe would have been thrown onto the battlefield as cannon fodder right from the start.

This favor, Austin indeed acknowledged.

"Granting you protection is one thing, but you reaching this level so quickly is due to your own abilities."

Guppa's voice carried a hint of inexplicable sigh.

"It's just a few years now, and you're about to enter the Legendary Realm. Compared to you, other Dragon Race successors are simply repugnant!"

Due to the relationship with their bloodline, Dragons are naturally one of the top creatures, nearly unimpeded towards the Legendary Realm.

Yet, as they say, success breeds failure.

Precisely because of the bloodline, most Dragons have lost the spirit to struggle.

Reaching Legendary by eating and waiting for death, why bother with hard cultivation?

The result is evident.

In the Dragon Race, when Legendary comes too easily, many dragons develop a mindset of eating and waiting for death.

When the Legendary Laws within their bloodline completely unlock, they halt with no progress.

Many ordinary dragons, newly adult as Legendary, remained Legendary until they expired by natural old age.

No progress whatsoever.

Facing humans or individuals of other races who reach Legendary through effort, they are at a disadvantage.

This is one reason the Giant Dragon Race gradually exited the continent stage.

Seeing this situation, Guppa, as a prominent figure among the Dragons, naturally felt something.

But so what?

The Dragon Race itself is a loose collective.

Guppa lacks the ability and need to change all this.

Supporting and protecting a struggling, distinguished offspring within the race is the greatest support.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this."

Guppa shifted the topic and landed on a mountaintop cliff.

Austin landed behind him.

In front was a vast green ocean plain; a forest created by the dense gathering of countless trees.

At the extended end of the forest, faint glimpses of black dots appeared intermittently.

Starlike glows dotted the edge.

The battlefield in the core area lay ahead.

They were almost there.

Yet there remained a long distance.

The distance was too far; it was impossible to clearly see the detailed situation unfolding there.

Guppa stood with hands behind his back, gazing deeply afar.

He remained silent; Austin likewise said nothing.

The two stood quietly.

"You shouldn't have come."

Suddenly, Guppa spoke inexplicably.

"This war not only serves as the final burial ceremony for that glorious entity but is also a grand feast for many lingering legendary existences. Something inside compels me to personally ensure 'it' doesn't fall into a particular power's hands."

Austin didn't interrupt, listening silently.

"This war will involve many people, many strong entities, various intersecting factions even I can't discern."

"This grand conscription serves merely as a blatant excuse for lingering forces hidden in the shadows."

"You all, utterly uninformed, are merely tools in the war, pawns making the chaos complex."

"This time, many strong entities will definitely perish. Now, you still have the chance to turn back."
