Chapter 463 Guardian of the Dragon Emperor’s Soul

"Huh... As expected of a pure-blooded dragon... Are you still alive after becoming like that..."

"Human, my soul is about to return to the End, so I can talk to you again like this for the time being."

The huge dragon phantom appeared in front of Laurent, who was still panting. Although it looked majestic and solemn, the edges of the phantom had slowly become blurred.

"Our emperor was killed by villains who colluded with the outside world, and only his soul fled to this resting place."

The dragon's shadow spoke slowly, and Laurent finally straightened up slowly with the help of the girl.Although the severe headache made it impossible for him to concentrate, he still managed to maintain his consciousness.

"That fragile puppet could not fully carry the Dragon Emperor's soul, so His Majesty sealed his memory and power and temporarily turned himself into a human."

A soul that has lost its true body will find it difficult to adjust to a new body even if it gets it.Professional heroes actually have a way to resurrect their bodies by reconstructing their bodies, but this kind of resurrection only saves one life. The strength and lifespan of the resurrected person will be greatly reduced due to the mismatch between the soul and the new body.

"If you want to completely revive His Majesty's soul, you must find the descendant of the Dragon Queen who is favored by the world. Through its core, the position of Dragon Emperor will be recast again."

"Don't just assign me new tasks like this..."

Lauren turned his head and glanced at the girl beside him who was supporting him vigorously, and found that she seemed to be unable to see the phantom of the dragon.So Lauren patted the girl's head gently with his free hand and told her that there was nothing wrong with him.

"But the core that forged the throne will definitely be coveted by other villains...Humans, please let me and the emperor return to the world..."

This seemed to be the dragon's last wish. Laurent didn't know how to answer, but he nodded in the end.After getting the answer, the dragon's shadow finally dissipated into the world, and Laurent also felt that his dizziness was slightly relieved.

The pressure I felt before has completely disappeared, and the girl next to me is no longer tortured by the calls.Not far in front of the two of them, a strange and shining crystal shone on the ground.

"That is?"

Supporting his body with the gun blade in his hand, Laurent slowly walked over. The crystal seemed to have some kind of wonderful energy. Laurent wanted to touch it with his hand, but he felt a pressure on his body.

"so beautiful……"

Unexpectedly, the girl picked up the wonderful crystal directly. The wonderful energy in the crystal seemed to have no impact on her at all.

"Then just take it, it's something that belongs to you...Claire."

"Claire? Are you calling me?"

The pronunciation of the two names is only slightly different. Lauren chose to call the girl by this name just to make herself feel less uncomfortable when she called her.

"Ah, that's your name, the dragon told me just now."

"Really..." The girl seemed to like this name very much. "Then Mr. Laurent, please call me Claire."

But when Lauren saw the girl's happy look, he felt a twinge of pain in his heart from time to time.

"Okay, it's time for us to go back... at least go back and take a rest first."

The previously dispersed monsters in the sky began to gather around her again, so without asking the girl for her opinion, Laurent picked her up and ran towards the direction he came from.

The dragon is dead, and many things will come to snatch its body.The hunters at the foot of the mountain will soon know the news, so now Luo Lun and the others must leave as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the hidden device still had a little energy left, so Laurent didn't hesitate to activate this thing that helped him a lot.The girl, on the other hand, kept leaning in Lauren's arms, as if she was a little sleepy and didn't want to open her eyes at all.

After returning to the town, Laurent first carried the girl to the small courtyard that he had visited before.If his guess is correct, the owner of the small courtyard should be...

"Knew it."

After returning to the courtyard, Laurent didn't find anyone there.Only a little bit of the atmosphere that seemed to have been there still remained here, but after searching around, Lauren still found nothing.

The dragon's body is dead and its soul has dissipated, so the puppet that was just used for observation also disintegrated.But the girl in Lauren's arms has not disappeared yet... Is it because her powerful soul will not die so soon?

"Mr. Laurent...are we home?"

"Not yet, but soon."

But where is their home?

The command ship of the Dead Moon?Or a small room in the infinite city?Where exactly is the place they should go?
"Forget it, let's go back and check the situation first."

Quietly leaving the town, Lauren held the girl in his arms and walked towards the only coordinates recorded in the terminal.Now they can only go back to the ship. Going to Infinite City will only cause more trouble for others.

I just don't know what the other people's condition is now in the past few days since I ran away.Although the top ten in the academy said they were invited to go on vacation, Laurent always felt that it was not that simple.

After all, he was attacked in a secret way during the exam, and those people he was familiar with were then sent to another world... No matter how you think about it, there seems to be something wrong.

"We're almost there..."

Before he knew it, Lauren was approaching the scheduled pick-up point.Although the return trip took about a day, it was relatively easy because I no longer had any confusion.However, Claire seemed to have consumed a lot of energy due to the previous incident, and she slept in Lauren's arms almost the whole day.

"Okay, we're going back."

Putting down the calling device at a similar position, Lauren woke up the girl in his arms.The beautiful girl with white blond hair rubbed her sleepy eyes, tilted her head slightly and looked at Lauren, who had put on a mask and glasses, and then a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Mr. Loren, are we going home?"

"Well, go home."

Although he still felt a little painful when he said this word, Lauren did not intend to show it to the girl around him.He has made his choice, and no matter what happens in the future, he will no longer hesitate because of it.

[Even if you are feared, hated, and eventually forgotten. 】

"A small problem like that is nothing compared to the people you can protect."

The last trace of confusion in his heart was shattered, and Laurent stopped thinking about those negative possibilities.
