I am a wicked dragon, and you want me to fall into goodness?

Chapter 118 The Fated Death of Kavis (3k)

Puser froze, a tingling sensation spreading across the scales on the back of his neck. He shoved the bottle into Green's arms, and the playful grin vanished instantly when he turned away.

Behind him stood a tall human woman.

The white mage's robe added an intellectual beauty to the lady, her smooth silver hair cascading down to her waist, her delicate and gentle features, and her whole being exuded tranquility.

It was Kavemas who had taken human form.

Pu Se turned around, feigning surprise.

"Ah! Mother, what brings you here?"

"Weren't you preparing materials to break through to legendary status in the secret realm? What brings you to Starfall City?"

Puse's deliberately obedient demeanor was completely different from his arrogant arrogance when he was snatching the dragon blood.

He showed no embarrassment whatsoever, walking straight to Kawimas's side as if nothing had happened.

Green, clutching the mud-covered golden blood vial, was furious, his whole body practically bursting with rage. He glared at Puser, who was pretending to be well-behaved next to Kawimas.

The frustration of being pinned to the ground and unable to move, and the anxiety of having his blood stolen, all surged up in anger.

She screamed, "Mother! Look at this guy! He's deliberately stealing my blood!"

"They even said they'd use my blood to create dragonblood warriors, forcibly forcing me into having familiars—that's outrageous!"

As she spoke, she thrust forward the container of golden dragon blood she was holding: "Look! This is the evidence; he deliberately bullied me!"

Puse didn't turn around at all, but moved closer to Kawimas, speaking in a very natural tone.

"Grimm's sister is young and doesn't know any better. She just fell and scraped her skin. I was afraid that her blood would spill and go to waste, so I helped her collect it."

"Besides, the Golden Dragon's blood regenerates very quickly, so this injury will heal in no time. There's no need to make such a fuss."

He even added, feigning concern, "Green, if you get too angry, your wound will reopen, and you'll have to trouble Mage Cedric to heal you again. You're being very inconsiderate."

Upon hearing this, Green was absolutely furious: "You—you were the one who pinned me down! And you even snatched bottles from Cedric the Mage's magic bag! You did it on purpose!"

She wanted to rush up and argue with Puse, but was gently stopped by the soft silver light that Kavis conjured with his hand, which enveloped her body.

This stabilized her injuries and prevented her from acting rashly and impulsively again.

Kavis glanced at the golden blood mixed with dirt in the bottle, then at the innocent-looking Puser.

She gently tapped his head with her fingertip, the force carrying a hint of punishment: "Puse, I know what you're thinking. Don't bully your sister."

Pu Se shrank back, but still stubbornly muttered under his breath, "It's not like I made this. It's a waste for the dragon blood to just flow onto the ground."

"Does Green intend to collect them and then swallow them again?"

Green, who was listening nearby, was so angry that he shoved the bottle into the gap between his scales and glared fiercely at Puse's back.

If I hadn't been tightly bound by Kawimas, I would have definitely fought that wretched blue dragon!

Karen quickly comforted her friend and bowed to Kawimas: "Your Majesty, the Holy Radiance Mission provoked us just now, and Earl Austin launched a sneak attack first."

"Prince Green was injured while protecting me, and Prince Puse was also trying to improve Starshine's strength, which is why he didn't think things through for a moment."

Cedric also looked remorseful: "Your Majesty Kavis, it was my fault for not taking good care of Prince Green. Please punish me."

Green's anger was instantly mixed with a hint of aggrieved resentment. He looked straight at Karen, and his energy to argue suddenly dissipated.

She had rushed forward to shield Karen, showing no fear whatsoever when facing Austin's holy light wolf claws.

Even though she was sent flying and crashed into a pillar, she only felt a moment of fear. But Karen's two conciliatory words made her feel bitter.

She helped Karen and suffered such serious injuries, yet Karen didn't completely stand by her side, protecting her while also protecting Puser.

Green felt that his former friend had become like Poseidon, both mentally and physically.

"I was here first, I knew you first, it was like that before, and it will be like that in this life too, waah!!!"

She won't accept it!

Kavis took it all in: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I will settle the score with Holy Radiance myself."

"I will personally make them pay a bloody price for what they have done today."

After making this promise, she turned to look at Green, and her stern gaze softened instantly.

A wisp of silver magic gently landed on the wound on Green's wing, and a warm sensation immediately emanated from the still faintly bleeding crack.

The burning pain vanished instantly.

Green felt a sense of relief, but his eyes still held a hint of grievance and dejection as he looked at Karen.

"Come back with me to recover from your injuries."

Kavis's voice was gentle as she reached out and lightly stroked the top of Green's head.

"With Karen and Cedric keeping an eye on the Star Kingdom, and even with you, Puse, there's not much you can do to help. The most important thing right now is to rest and recover."

Green didn't respond, but sullenly rubbed against Kawimas's palm, his anger and grievances turning into a bitter feeling in his heart.

She glanced at Karen, who was standing with her eyes downcast, her brows furrowed with apology, but ultimately didn't say another word that completely favored her.

The bitterness in my heart intensified.

The friendship that once characterized us as companions and laughter seems to have truly changed after this rebirth, tainted with an inexplicable estrangement.

Seeing this, Puse wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Kavis, and could only awkwardly touch his nose.

He called out to Karen and Cedric, "Karen, if you have guests like this in the future, you should let me know immediately!"

Kavis ignored him and, with Green, vanished from the Red Fruit Garden in an instant.

Green glanced back in the direction of Red Fruit Court. Karen was still standing there, as if nothing could affect her.

Cedric was bowing his head, instructing the Red Fang Knight to clean up the mess, while Puse was entrenched in the courtyard.

Sensing Green's dejected mood, Kavis slowed its flight and soothed him in a gentle dragon voice, "Feeling wronged?"

Green nodded sullenly, his voice thick with a nasal tone: "He should have been on my side—and Puser, that was too much."

"Karen has his difficulties, and Puse can offer him more benefits. Since they share the same stance, they naturally grew closer during their six months together."

Green felt a slight tingling sensation in his nose as he looked at Kavis's silver hair swaying gently in the wind beside him.

She hesitated for a long time before speaking softly, her tone revealing a barely perceptible unease: "Mother, do you really want to break through to the legendary level so soon?"

Kavis glanced at her, then nodded slowly and silently without the slightest hesitation.

Green's heart sank, as if weighed down by something heavy. After a moment of silence, he stiffly tried to persuade her, uttering the prepared words with practiced ease.

"Mother, I know you broke through to the Legendary level to save Father, but you clearly know that upholding the justice of the universe is the Golden Dragon's instinct."

"From the day my father joined the Bahamut Holy Dragon Legion, he had always regarded upholding justice in the multiverse as more important than anything else."

"There is no warmth on the battlefield. Corpses are everywhere. Comrades who fought alongside you can become food for monsters in the blink of an eye, leaving not even a complete skeleton."

"As the vanguard of the legion, my father is always at the forefront. Even if you risked everything to save him once, he would never leave the Holy Dragon Legion."

Even if Alistair survives, he will continue to serve the Holy Dragon Legion; sooner or later, he will still die.

"You risked your life for someone who was destined to die."

Is it really worth it?

Alistair is about to face a life-or-death crisis, but Green persuades Kawimas not to save her father, showing what a filial daughter she is.

The dragon died of filial piety.

These words, like a fine needle, gently pierced Kavimas's calm facade.

She hovered in mid-air, her silver hair billowing in the wind, the gentleness in her eyes fading to reveal a deep-seated, unwavering obsession.

"My daughter, to others, this may not be worth it."

"But for me, Alistair is my only companion in this life, the one who gives me peace and care, and the father who is connected to me by blood."

"That's enough."

Kavis sighed: "I know his fate, I know he won't turn back, I know this trip might mean his death."

"But I can't just watch him go to his death alone, I can't let him lie there on that cold battlefield and do nothing."

She looked down at Green, who was sobbing in her arms, and said, "Green, it is his choice to protect justice, to protect justice in the multiverse, and it is my choice to protect him."

Green's voice choked with emotion, yet held the stubbornness of a young dragon; every word was tinged with fear: "But you saved him, you'll die!"

She took a deep breath and shouted out all her worries and resentment: "Even if Father survives, he'll still rush back to the front lines if you die!"

"Jinlong will not abandon his mission! In the end, your death for him will be meaningless; he will still fall in some battle and die completely!"

Kavis raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears on Green's face with her fingertips. Her fingertips were warm and gentle, and her tone was calm: "I know."

These three words are as light as the wind.

Kavis lowered her head, her forehead gently touching the top of Green's head, her voice carrying a sigh that only she could perceive.

"I knew that after saving him, the chances of survival were very slim, and I also knew that even if he survived, he would eventually have to go back to continue fighting."

"But after receiving inspiration from the stars, they told me that I might still have a chance to survive, so I still want to give it a try."

Green looked up at the sky, where tiny starlight peeked through the gaps in the clouds. It was a guide that ordinary people couldn't see, and it was the source of her confidence to gamble everything.

"If there really wasn't even the slightest chance, why would I possibly try to save him?"

She gazed at Kavis's profile as she looked up at the starlight, her silver hair fluttering gently in the wind, the determination in her eyes so real.

It was as if this wasn't a lie meant to comfort her.

Images of repeated rebirths kept exploding in my mind uncontrollably.

The same predicament, the same obsession.

The mother, with the same unwavering gentleness, spoke of a glimmer of hope, but it ultimately faded away like a dissipating starlight on the battlefield, completely dimming.

If this isn't a lie, then why did the mother never succeed even once?
