Li Yisheng randomly found a fragment of an asteroid, sat down, looked at the elf dragon in front of him and said: So why did you show up?

Elf Dragon: What do you mean? I just came out to teach the rude person a lesson because someone suddenly and violently kicked my door open.

The elf dragon, which had regained its composure at this time, showed the calmness and wisdom that it should have after living for hundreds of years.

Li Yisheng: ...Do you think I am a child? How could such a level of magic circle go out of control? It would be great to be able to call out all the elemental spirits. How could it be possible to call you out?

oops? Didn't you lie to me?

Li Yisheng: What can I say? It was taught by Lilith, so I don’t even know this basic knowledge. So why do you go to all the trouble to get out of such a small hole? I don’t think you’re here to travel, right?

...Okay, I admit that I did run out for some purpose. As for the reason for fighting, it was because I thought it was another group of wizards who drank potions until their brains were damaged and were thinking about destroying time. That's why I remain hostile. Please allow me to apologize in advance.

The elf dragon lowered his head as he spoke.

Li Yisheng: It doesn't matter. After all, there aren't many people who would deliberately choose a place like this. However, your ability to change the topic is still a bit poor. If it is this level, there is no way to divert my attention.

...It seems that my kung fu is not perfect yet. Obviously, flexible speaking is also a required course for us.

Li Yisheng: That can only mean that you picked the wrong opponent. With a boss who thinks outside the box, we have long been accustomed to this sudden jump in dialogue.

...This world is really full of everything.

Li Yisheng: So what is your purpose? Strictly speaking, this is a remote area. Even those who live in the elemental plane should know about it based on your intelligence network.

…can you answer me a question before I answer this question?

Li Yisheng: What’s the problem? Depending on your question, I may not be able to answer it, and I should be the one asking you the question now.

...What a domineering girl, but please forgive me because this matter is too important and I have to be more careful.

Li Yisheng narrowed his eyes: Oh? Is it something that even the Dragon Clan must pay attention to?

Yes, it is something that even the Dragon Clan must pay attention to. Frankly speaking, this should not be discussed with people in the main realm, so please answer me first. What is your relationship with Lilith?

Li Yisheng: ...This should be considered private, right? ...But if you don’t answer, you won’t answer my question, right?

That's right, after all, if I really plan to run away, you shouldn't be able to stop me.

Li Yisheng:...Okay, let me introduce myself a little bit. I am Li Yisheng, the current strongest vampire queen,...strictly speaking, I am also Lilith's daughter.

I see... Are you the one in the rumors?

Li Yisheng: Rumor?

No, it's nothing, just some boring little things that have nothing to do with what I'm going to say now.

Li Yisheng: Oh? Do you believe me?

We have our own way to judge whether the other party is lying. Besides, that woman has been saying that she has a daughter for more than a hundred years, but there has been no news about you... Our intelligence network has it. Long is about to die from overwork and there is no information about you, so we thought that the woman was really crazy to say such a thing, but because she took the blood for authentication the next day, the result was harmful to us. I have to work overtime for a while!

Li Yisheng: This is not my problem, but I do remember that she suddenly came over one day and said she wanted to test my blood magic, so she dragged me out without any explanation while I was on vacation. Was this her purpose?

...Are you actually a disaster-stricken household too?

Li Yisheng: This word is a little inappropriate to use here, but...it seems that you have been tortured a lot.

Just having that woman stay somewhere other than Eden will double the workload for us, so now that I've said that, I'll leave first.

After saying that, the Elf Dragon flapped its wings gently and prepared to fly away, but shadow chains trapped her tightly.

Eh? when?

Li Yisheng: Did I just say that? We have long been accustomed to this level of dialogue. If you want to divert my attention, you have to practice. And let me tell you that Lilith is a person for you. Once you move, your workload will double. Just like your existence, your existence is also a trouble for humans. Although I can deal with you by myself, but...if you really want to cause destruction, it will be difficult for me to stop you, so I regret asking you. I won't let you go before the purpose.

...I will not cause havoc at will because it violates the rules.

Li Yisheng: Even so, I ask you how long can you persist?

What do you mean?

Li Yisheng: Do you have enough energy to maintain your body or soul by running out of the Shadow Realm so recklessly?

……How did you know? No since you are in a relationship with that woman it is indeed possible that she will tell you.

Li Yisheng: This is not what Lilith told me, this is what I saw myself... Let me apologize first, because my magic eye is too special. When I was serious just now, I accidentally saw your origin.

...You can actually see through my origin at a glance. Are you really still a vampire? Obviously not even Lilith can see through my true nature at a glance.

Li Yisheng just shook his head lightly and said: It's just good luck that I accidentally saw you when you were weak. Well, you should already know my strength, so tell me carefully. Why did you risk your life? The possibility of hurting the source escapes?

......

Li Yisheng: Maybe I can help you if you tell me.

This…….

Li Yisheng: You already know my identity. Maybe what is difficult for you may not be a problem for me.

Is this... maybe possible? ...But if people in the main realm know about this kind of thing.

Li Yisheng: Well~ How about I promise you that I won’t tell anyone about your coming out? (But members of the Heaven-Defying Sword are not considered outsiders.)

(She probably wasn't lying because the spell didn't respond, so it doesn't matter if she says it, right?)

Then you must use the name of your soul to sign the contract. As long as you agree, I will say it.

Li Yisheng: ...Do you know what this means? The soul name of a vampire is quite special, not just a simple name.

I know so I will give you my name as well.

Li Yisheng: ...Let me just say it first. Even if you know the name of my soul, it is useless, because I gave everything to him a long time ago.

Please rest assured that I can swear on my soul that I will not use your soul name.

Li Yisheng: Then take out the contract. Since you are a dragon, you should also have the contract with you.

Also? Do you know other dragon clans?

As he spoke, the elf dragon drew a special magic circle in the void.

Li Yisheng: We know each other, but it’s only one person. But the contract looks different?

That's because each contract will change its appearance due to different people and different relationships, so everyone's contract style is unique.

As he spoke, the elf dragon wrote Grandia Ashurdall in the space of the magic circle.

Li Yisheng wrote Lystia Landis in the space on the other side.

Shouldn't the elf dragon say Grandia now? Ashurdall said: In this way, the contract is completed.

Li Yisheng: So can you say it now? Miss Grandia Ashdoor.

If you can, please just call me Grandia. However, due to some special reasons, I cannot use nicknames or abbreviations.

Li Yisheng: Okay Grandia, then why are you here?

Grandia: I just came here to investigate something, but before I talk about this, do you know what chaos or abyss is?

Li Yisheng: ...Only one thing is mentioned in the notebook given by Lilith.

Grandia: ...That should be easy to explain. Do you think chaos or the abyss is a very dangerous substance? Or energy?

Li Yisheng: ...It should be energy, right? Being disembodied will erode things and pollute energy, I think that's how it should be.

Grandia: The answer is both! This is something between energy and matter and has the characteristics of corroding, eroding and polluting the world. This is the conclusion reached by our dragon clan for hundreds of years of research.

Li Yisheng: Both? That really fits the name.

Grandia: Yes, and in addition, there is also the ability of the thoughts of polluted creatures to corrode their bodies. Once corroded, they will even turn into indescribable monsters.

Li Yisheng: Mutation?

Grandia: ...Strictly speaking, it's like even the species has been changed. Frankly speaking, we don't have much knowledge in this regard, because if we are not careful, even we will be eroded into minions of Chaos.

Li Yisheng: Even the dragons with strong souls and bodies are the same?

Grandia: Yes, according to research, even those who call themselves gods will be corrupted.

Li Yisheng: Is it to this extent?

Grandia: That's why I came here like this, because after being corroded into minions, those corroded minions will be full of desire for destruction and destruction. If left alone, they will gradually corrode the world and eventually make it lose its vitality and finally destroy it.

Li Yisheng: ...So you mean there are minions around here?

Grandia nodded: Yes, because the breath of chaos is quite special. Once you come into contact with it, you will never forget it.

Li Yisheng: So can you feel it?

Grandia: Yes, it is better to say that I have determined the approximate location, although it seems that there is only one target.

After saying that, Grandia turned to look at the only place with life nearby, which was the planet that Li Yisheng and others had just left!

Li Yisheng: Alas, things are getting more and more troublesome. I can help with the Grandia matter, but I need to explain it to others. Don’t worry, they are my companions and they are not as fragile as ordinary people.

Grandia:...Can you swear?

Li Yisheng: I swear in the name of my beloved master that they are all trustworthy people.

Grandia: ...Okay, I believe you, but I have to confirm with my own eyes whether they can trust it.

Li Yisheng: Okay, I’m about to meet them now. Do you want to come with me?

Grandia: Then if possible, please let me accompany you.

Li Yisheng: Haha, I believe you will be quite surprised.
