"My soul and body feel so at ease and relaxed, ah~. With your innate scent's help, I should be able to skip my upcoming awake period and slumber peacefully for another millennium. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Ah~," the serpent-shaped blood fog vessel of the dragon's spiritual body exclaimed in pure bliss as its true body went into deeper sleep.

Listening to the Elder Anesthesia Dragon unveil the true motive behind its fascination with the World Calamity Tree, Wyatt realized that a portion of his speculation was accurate: the Dragon wasn't just immune to the World Calamity Tree's fragrance, but the scent actually aided it in sleeping for extended periods, effectively nullifying its sole vulnerability. It was no surprise that once it confirmed Wyatt's ident.i.ty as the World Calamity Tree, the Dragon was willing to overlook Wyatt's previous remarks about its scales. Wyatt had long suspected that the Dragon intended to raise him as its pet, but now he understood the reason behind it.

"But I'm uncertain if the disparity between our realms will diminish the potency of your inherent fragrance. There's still another decade before I truly require it. That should provide ample time for you to digest one of the sleeping rule slaves to break through to the devil rank or if you're fast and efficient enough even ruler cla.s.s. Let's not leave anything to chance," the Elder Anesthesia Dragon remarked cautiously.

Listening to the Dragon's offer to a.s.sist him in attaining devil rank or even ruler cla.s.s, Wyatt remained untempted due to his strengthened resolve. However, when in the form of the World Calamity Tree both physically and spiritually, he could harness all its abilities. Specifically, he could consume the corpses of the blood rule slaves to bolster his growth. Yet, doing so would render him more World Calamity Tree than human until the day his realm as a Card Apprentice surpa.s.sed his realm as a World Calamity Tree. Wyatt, still deeply attached to his humanity, couldn't entertain the Dragon's offer at present. However—

"Your Majesty, I deeply appreciate your consideration. Your generosity will forever be remembered," Wyatt expressed, intending to address the dark stains contaminating the dragon's scales after he had accomplished his new secondary objective.

"Hahaha, Nazaka, please, there's no need for such formality. Given the history of our races as allies, it's only fitting for me, as the stronger of the two, to help you," the Elder Anesthesia Dragon remarked, though appearing aloof, it seemed to have a weakness for flattery. Wyatt understood that if he were to deliver a few more compliments he could regain its lost favor towards him in no time.

"Your Highness, if that is the case, then I eagerly antic.i.p.ate enhancing my strength to be of use to you," Wyatt intended to say "repay you," but reconsidered, realizing it might not be the most suitable word to win the Dragon's favor. Using "repay" could imply that he planned to leave the Dragon once he was strong enough, which would likely anger the Dragon, as it was attempting to groom him as its sleeping-aid tool. Therefore, he opted for the word "use" instead, signifying his submission to the Dragon's guidance and authority.

"I appreciate your enthusiasm. With time being limited, let me fetch a few corpses so you can commence your practice immediately," the Dragon expressed, highly satisfied with Wyatt's att.i.tude. Who did not like a well-mannered slave?

"Your Highness, if I may," Wyatt called out to the dragon, who was preparing to procure the corpses of the sleeping rule slaves to use as manure for the World Calamity Tree.

"Yes, Nazaka, what is it?" the Dragon paused in its flight and asked.

"Please forgive my impudence, but I would prefer the core of the rule slave over there instead of their corpses. I believe refining its core is the quickest path for me to ascend to the devil realm or beyond," Wyatt informed the Dragon, hoping to complete his secondary objective.

"That rule slave, just the fact that it could approach so close to my true body without succ.u.mbing to sleep shows its remarkable power. Furthermore, its transformation into a blood-rule slave is complete; it's now one with the blood-rule source. Are you certain you'll be able to refine its core?" the Elder Anesthesia Dragon frowned as it scrutinized the rule slave Wyatt had pointed out, recognizing it as one of the most formidable adversaries that had attempted to attack him. The Elder Anesthesia Dragon wondered whether a demon master could successfully refine its core. It didn't want Wyatt to bite off more than he could chew, as it would be counterproductive and a waste of time—time being the only thing they lacked right now.

"Your majesty, I have been comprehending blood-rule, though my attainments in it are not high, I think I should be able to refine that blood-rule slave's core and ascend to the devil ream," Wyatt continued to persuade the Elder Anesthesia Dragon to help him get the core of the completely transformed blood rule slave.

Wyatt's persistence in obtaining the core of a fully transformed blood-rule slave stemmed from his belief that it would enable him to utilize his myriad devil body skills to transform into a blood-rule slave. This form would not only enhance his blood-

rule affinity, but it would also align with the form best suited for his 12 blood curse incarnation form, thereby augmenting its power. Since Wyatt was unwilling to sacrifice his humanity to achieve rapid growth, this endeavor was crucial for preserving his frail human existence by increasing his explosive strength, though temporarily it got the job done when defeating Belphegor's World Hog incantation.

"Well, Nazaka, if you insist," the Elder Anesthesia Dragon reluctantly agreed, feeling that the World Calamity Tree should have the best understanding of what was most suitable for its practice. Listening to the Elder Anesthesia Dragon acquiesce to his request, Wyatt felt relieved, knowing that his secondary objective was almost complete.
