The Black Dragon Emperor finally came to understand the true nature of Mo Fan. Despite its majestic status as a True Dragon, it felt like nothing more than a mere puppy before Mo Fan's overwhelming power.
Even in its prime, the dragon would have stood no chance against Mo Fan, and now, gravely injured, it was as good as dead.
The dragon sat down, raising its head proudly, conveying to Mo Fan that, even in the face of death, it would not bow.
"Sigh..." Mo Fan said in annoyance, "If I wanted to kill you, you would have died a hundred times by now."
He overlooked the destruction their battle had caused and sighed in disappointment. "This is why I don't like to use the Demon Element," Mo Fan muttered, biting his lip.
A tremendous number of souls were entering Mo Fan's Little Loach pendant, indicating that many monsters had perished in their clash.
While Mo Fan was saddened by this fact upon regaining his senses, Little Loach was ecstatic. It wasn't the sheer number of souls that pleased it—at its current level, only Emperor Class souls or higher would satisfy it—but the absorption of numerous monster cores. Mo Fan was unaware of this fact. Little Loach had absorbed so many cores that its depleted core had begun to recover.
Mo Fan didn't say anything more and simply looked at the Black Dragon Emperor. A wave of pink energy emanated from Mo Fan and entered the Black Dragon Emperor. The pink energy was the Psychic Element, and Mo Fan was sharing his memories with the dragon.
He shared everything with it: how he had first discovered the Black Dragon Emperor, how Su Lu had captured it, their battle in Dubai, its death in the Dark Plane, and how it became Mo Fan's armour. He also showed how he discovered that its soul had been trapped by the Night and Day Dark King and was ultimately returned to the armour.
The dying Black Dragon Emperor was perplexed. It looked at Mo Fan, who responded, "That's your fate... I came here today to make sure you won't go down that path."
As he spoke, Mo Fan simultaneously removed all the corpses of the thirty thousand wolf monsters scattered across the vast crater. Despite their sheer number and size, they didn't even fill half the crater.
Slap!
Mo Fan clasped his palms together and then slightly opened them. A greenish-golden energy quickly enveloped his hands and spread through the surroundings. As the greenish-golden light touched the monster corpses, vibrant rainbow-colored balls floated out of their bodies.
The prismatic balls of light, each the size of a fist, resonated with Mo Fan's spell, amplifying the glow of his healing spell. The wounds on the Black Dragon Emperor began to heal. Even its broken scales and missing claw started regenerating at a visible pace. As the dragon's wounds healed, the prismatic balls disappeared one by one.
Within two minutes, the entire massive Black Dragon Emperor was completely healed, at the cost of three thousand Ruler Class cores. The Black Dragon Emperor was astonished. It had been on the verge of death after fighting Mo Fan and had accepted its end, yet Mo Fan had healed it within minutes.
Its view of Mo Fan completely changed. Meanwhile, Mo Fan was not finished yet. The cores of the monsters, which had been floating above their bodies, shuddered and swiftly flew toward the Black Dragon Emperor.
"RESURRECTION," Mo Fan chanted.
A supermassive magic circle appeared in the crater. Despite the Black Dragon Emperor's enormous size, it seemed tiny compared to the magic circle. Mo Fan's entire being was enveloped by a divine and godly aura, a stark contrast to his Sacred Evil God's malicious demonic power.
The energy he was emanating dwarfed his earlier lightning spell. In fact, it couldn't even compare to this godly spell. Mo Fan opened his eyes, now glowing with the healing element, and looked directly at the damaged core of the Black Dragon Emperor.
The dragon's core was unlike anything he had ever seen. It was unique, but a huge crack had almost split it in two. The majestic dragon's powers were rapidly slipping away. Healing the core was nearly impossible, as the current magical civilization lacked the means. Most people didn't even know what a core was.
But Mo Fan was different.
He used Ye Xinxia's resurrection spell on the Black Dragon Emperor. Mo Fan had seen her use it only once on his Little Flame Belle, but it was enough. In the future, when he became the Magic God, he created his own version of the spell. Unlike Ye Xinxia's, his spell required many sacrifices to resurrect someone else. Despite their similarities, Mo Fan's spell was vile and demonic.
But right now, it didn't matter since he had a tremendous amount of supplies. The huge crack in the dragon's core was slowly being filled by numerous high-level cores and Mo Fan's unique True Forbidden Curse.
The resurrection forbidden curse was so powerful that it even healed the entire crater, which was devoid of life. The destructive lightning energy still flickering in the crater immediately dissipated upon contact with Mo Fan's spell. The once dead and dried-out land, akin to a drought, became moist again. The spirit of Gaia, which had died due to the tremendous pressure of the True Forbidden Curse, was resurrected. It spread across the crater and filled the land with new life.
The ground was once again hospitable. Life could now sustain itself on the barren ground.
The Black Dragon Emperor's core swallowed all the Ruler Level Wolf Monsters' cores. The crack disappeared, and the core was fully healed. The Black Dragon Emperor stared at Mo Fan in astonishment. Mo Fan, seeing that the core was fully healed, slowly lost his divinity and fell to the ground, sighing in relief.
The Black Dragon Emperor's perspective on Mo Fan had shifted significantly. It saw his own future with Mo Fan even though it was reduced to a mere armour equipment. It's future self had acknowledged Mo Fan as it's "Owner".
Even now when it had literally nothing to do with him, Mo Fan had not only proved his heaven defying power, he had also respected the Black Dragon Emperor and was truly grateful to the dragon. He had come to personally heal it from far away.
It no longer saw him merely as a formidable opponent or threat but now viewed him with a mix of respect and gratitude.
Mo Fan, though exhausted, felt a sense of accomplishment.
"I've almost completely used up my powers..." He said as he noticed only 10% of his Spiritual world was covered by Crimson now. He had lost 90% of his Demon Element now.
His Demon Element was already waning as it was, but he still continuously used it's powers, and now it was almost depleted with only a little amount left.
He had managed to change the dragon's fate a little and restore balance to the area. The bond between him and the Black Dragon Emperor had been transformed, he had officially made connections with the Dragon! Albeit it was a bit too forceful but it was all worth it in the end.
The skies cleared, and the earth began to show signs of recovery.
Mo Fan, relieved that the worst was over, allowed himself a moment to rest, knowing he had done everything he could. He laid on the ground beside the colossal dragon acting as his shield from the sun light.
The Black Dragon Emperor was still staring at Mo Fan, but it was now resting it's head down. It's eyes suddenly turned a mysterious Silver and enveloped Mo Fan's body.
"What the?!" Mo Fan was startled, but he didn't felt any malice directed towards him.
He began floating and flew up to the massive forehead of the dragon! "Sigh... What is up with this Tsundere Dragon." Mo Fan sighed while shaking his head side ways and rested on the head of the dragon.
As tranquillity began to return to the Mount Titano range, it was evident that this battle had left an indelible mark on the mountain range.
...
Inside the Black Dragon Emperor, the core of the dragon which was just healed, suddenly started emitting supreme glow! It felt as if it was over charged!
The Core of the Black Dragon Emperor was undergoing a definite change!
