55 The Boss, Dark Dragon King

The beast tide was over. They succeeded in defending the territory.

However, the beast tide was not over yet. The magical beasts and the wild beasts were just small fries.

Xu Yuan didn’t go back to sleep because he heard Su Wan mutter about the Boss, the Dark Dragon King.

“We managed to defend against the beast tide, but will we really be able to defend against the Boss, Dark Dragon King?” muttered Su Wan.

She immediately covered her mouth with her hands, afraid that she might jinx the good luck they had had.

At this moment, Su Wan looked very doubtful and innocent, in sharp contrast to her usual appearance.

“Wait! What am I even worried about? I am not like Linglong, who attracts trouble wherever she goes! The Dark Dragon King might not even come here…,” she tried to convince herself.

Xu Yuan heard her. He opened his eyes. His dragon wings flapped, and he flew to Su Wan.

“Is the Dark Dragon King very powerful?” Xu Yuan asked. He had heard Su Wan mention it before too.

However, he hadn’t taken her words seriously that time. Besides, he had the beast tide to deal with, so he hadn’t had much time to inquire about it.

But now, more than half of the beast tide was either subdued or made to flee, and the remaining wild beasts and magical beasts were no longer a threat. Xu Yuan decided to inquire more about the Boss, Dark Dragon King.

Su Wan was so glad to see Xu Yuan awake that her previous dissatisfaction with him disappeared in an instant.

Su Wan was very happy to answer Xu Yuan’s questions. Xu Yuan rarely asked her anything. He always slept during the day. Su Wan was glad for this opportunity to communicate. Maybe his favorability toward her might increase with this.

“The Dark Dragon King—”

Su Wan recalled something. “Xu Yuan? You are a dragon too, aren’t you? O! It is no wonder you are interested to learn more about Dark Dragon King!”

Su Wan squinted her eyes and smiled at him. Xu Yuan definitely looked more and more like a dragon.

Furthermore, Xu Yuan was also a dark dragon like the Dark Dragon King. Could they be connected somehow?’ wondered Su Wan.

Su Wan’s mind burned with curiosity. She looked at Xu Yuan expectantly. He ignored her.

“Fine. I know you have your own secrets. I won’t force you to tell me if you don’t want to. I will wait till you can trust me enough to tell me things.”

Su Wan took the opportunity to get into his good books. She was proud of her quick thinking. But the notification, that usually informed her about her increased favorability toward Xu Yuan, didn’t appear.

Her effort had been for nothing. ‘Why is he so hard to please?’

Su Wan had been in a good mood just moments ago, but now she felt awful. She endured it and answered his question.

“It is said that the Dark Dragon King is a native creature of the Overlord Plane,” explained Su Wan. “The Bosses that are found on this Plane are all natives here. The native creatures are born here and raised by nature. They hate the Lords who come from other worlds, so they attack their territories and become a Boss if they kill enough Lords.”

“Once upon a time, the Dark Dragon King was a hero! I heard that hisOverlord was assassinated in the Overlord Plane.”

“After the death of the Lord, the heroes are forcibly sent back to the Hero Plane. But the Dark Dragon King was too powerful. He defied the rules and remained here.”

Su Wan gave a lot of thought to the reason for his stay. “Some believe that the Dark Dragon King stayed back to avenge his Overlord who was assumed to have been killed by some powerful magical beast. Some believe that the Dark Dragon King had a very close relationship with his Lord and could not accept his death. Some say that there was some accident, and he can no longer return to the Hero Plane.”

“Eh? So many versions of the story! Which one is real?” Xu Yuan was interested in getting the real and accurate history.

But Su Wan just shook her head. “It’s hard to say. The Blue Planet has set up a Research Society to study the Dark Dragon King. Even after so many years, they don’t have an accurate answer. But it’s my guess that someone is using the Dark Dragon King to muddy the waters.”

Su Wan proudly explained her opinion to Xu Yuan. After being humiliated by him so many times, she finally had a chance to show him that she was knowledgeable. She felt proud of herself.

Su Wan didn’t even bother to show off in front of her teachers because their raises meant nothing to her. But suddenly she was answering Xu Yuan. She didn’t need any praise from him as long as she could clear his doubts.

She felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction as she relayed the information to him. It meant that she was knowledgeable in some aspects that Xu Yuan lacked.

“Think about it. What major event is about to happen?”

Su Wan didn’t give Xu Yuan a chance to answer. She was afraid that Xu Yuan would just ignore her. She didn’t want to feel humiliated again. “Maybe you already guessed it. It’s the Inter-Campus Tournament.”

“The Boss, Dark Dragon King, rarely appears. The last time it appeared was too many years ago. Now that the Dark Dragon King has appeared again, can the Inter-Campus Tournament be held smoothly?”

Su Wan thought that the Dark Dragon King’s appearance wasn’t because of a simple reason. Just as she was thinking about the conspiracy behind the creature’s appearance, Xu Yuan interrupted her.

“Why don’t we go look for the Dark Dragon King?”

Su Wan was appalled. “Do you have a death wish? That is the Dark Dragon King! His strength is equivalent to a Legendary Lord’s!”
