Chapter 449 Two Bodies Are Missing

Jonathan was slightly stunned.

Torrence continued, “The dragons used to be power-hungry, which caused all other major clans to work together and defeat them. This meant that the dragons weren't innocent, harmless creatures either. While the dragons have hidden themselves and haven't committed any offense, what's to say they'll remain peaceful in the future? What if they attack humans again after they've recuperated enough? In this scenario, it's normal for humans to make the first move against them.”

Jonathan fell into deep thought. I must admit Torrence has a point. It's like two gunmen meeting each other in a dark forest. Their first thought isn't going to be making peace or even greeting each other. Their first instinct will be to shoot each other. After all, neither of them knows if the other bears ill will. They can't afford to find out if the stranger is going to shoot them. All humans know dragons are powerful, and dragons have a bad record. It's normal to want to eliminate the dragons before they can cause any substantial damage again. It's an irrefutable line of thinking.

Jonathan replied, “In that case, your desire to join Demon Dragon seems morally untenable.”

Torrence replied, “I don't care about that when my life hangs on a tightrope. Besides, even if I do join Demon Dragon, it doesn't mean I'm betraying humanity. I'm not betraying anyone.”

Jonathan sighed. “In that case, have you ever regretted rebelling against Supreme Sect?”

Torrence answered resolutely, “No. I worshiped Theos. However, after Supreme Sect's true colors were revealed, I lost my faith. I can't stay in the sect anymore because I can't stop seeing everything related to Supreme Sect as fake, hypocritical, and dirty. It just wasn't possible for me to stay in that place even for a second longer. It's tiring to be on the run, but I feel free. Every breath of air I take reminds me of my independence.”

Jonathan flashed a faint smile. “I didn't know you care so much about mental hygiene.”

What is mental hygiene?

It's about maintaining one's mental health. For example, you love your wife very much, but you find out one day your wife cheated on you. No matter how she apologizes or expresses regret for her actions, you just can't forgive her.

Torrence took a sip of wine silently. Suddenly, he looked at Jonathan with a smile. “After Demon Dragon was frozen, I practically fell into despair. But now I have a bold idea, the last spark of hope.”

Intrigued, Jonathan asked, “What do you have in mind?”

“We can start our own thing! The two most powerful individuals in the history of Moranta are Theos and the founding king of Paradiso, Darve. Theos is a five-element magician, and Darve possesses the same ability as Theos on top of his incredible martial arts skill. They have accomplished glorious things. As for you, you're proficient in martial arts, and you're also capable of wielding all types of magic. You're much more talented than the two of them.” The excitement in Torrence's voice grew. “Perhaps you'll even become more powerful than them in the future. I believe the heavens granted you these talents for a reason, Jonathan. There must be a deeper meaning behind your gifts. Perhaps you came from the main world to fulfill a mission.”

He couldn't help but feel giddy with joy, thinking he had uncovered a great secret.

Jonathan rubbed his nose. “You know, magic cultivation isn't that easy. If I want to reach the level of Darve and Theos, I need at least a couple of decades of cultivation! Besides, my home is in the main world. If I stay here for a few decades, chaos will have probably descended upon the main world. Besides, it's pointless for me to cultivate magic because magic elements aren't present in the main world. My magical skills will be useless when I return home.”

Disappointment flashed past Torrence's eyes when he heard that. What he says makes sense. “You're right. Ignore what I just said.”

I know it's a ludicrous idea, a desperate attempt of a drowning man to grasp at straws.

Noticing Torrence's disappointment, Jonathan thought of an idea. “Since Demon Dragon is roughly an equal match to Theos, I don't think it's dead. It's only frozen. There must be a way to rouse it. It's a lot more reasonable for us to place our hopes on it when it's a powerful entity that's still alive.”
