"Hm? What location is this?" Aeolus wondered as it looked around, somehow magically forgetting it was angry.


    It was now in a strange, all-white ce. There was nothing else except for its existence.


    Only for a few seconds, though, as soon after, a ck human silhouette appeared in front of it, rekindling the mes of anger in its heart.


    "YOU!! WHERE DID YOU TAKE ME?!" The Wind Dragon roared.


    Unfortunately, the ck silhouette didn''t respond. It merely continued walking closer to Aeolus.


    As the humanoid figure drew closer, the Wind Dragon finally saw its full appearance and fully sensed its aura, sending a surge of wariness through the proud draconian''s heart.


    The ck human silhouette did not have a face!


    In fact, all it had was its humanoid shape—the same as that of the young human who intruded upon its territory.


    However, its aura was terrifying, far more so than even the Phoenix—the only being that had ever instilled fear in the dragon''s heart.


    ''A human... is making me feel fear? Me? A proud dragon?'' Aeolus thought in disbelief as he realized he had instinctively taken a step back from the ck humanoid''s aura.


    "UNACCEPTABLE!! I AM A DRAGON! I MAY DIE, BUT I WILL NEVER FEAR AN INFERIOR SPECIES!"


    After a roar of unwillingness, the Wind Dragon walked forward to meet the human, forcibly casting the dread taking root in its heart.


    It decided to fight the ck humanoid instead.


    Shye''s featureless silhouette embodied the peak of his presentbat strength, the limits of his physical capabilities, and the boundless potential he had yet to unlock.


    It was understandable why it was seemingly invincible.


    Even dragons have a limit to their potential, though their skill and attribute ceiling are normally way higher than humans.


    Unfortunately for Aeolus, thebination of Shye''s [Limitless Physique] talent and old man Sanada''s shy Adventurer System made his ck silhouette nearly invincible in the realm of heart and mind, striking unparalleled terror—even in dragons.


    One could only imagine the terror poor little Nookie endured with its fragile necrollin physique.


    Its power, after all,y inmanding a terrifying army of corpses.


    Puppeteers had always been vulnerable when left on their own.


    Meanwhile, despite its best efforts to uphold a brave facade, bolstered by its pride, the Wind Dragon slowly yielded to fear.


    As it stood before the ck silhouette, it trembled.


    Aeolus had never faced such a terrifying being before.


    Trying its best to recall what happened earlier, the Wind Dragon remembered thest words it heard from the human before waking up to this world of white.


    ''Tame…'' Aeolus thought inwardly, shaking. ''Is this ck humanoid a product of that [Tame] skill?''


    Believing so, the Wind Dragon managed to recover its courage, a [Draconic Origin Bomb Lv.5 (Rare)] forming in its mouth.


    "I''ve uncovered your trick, human!" Aeolus bellowed, unleashing the massive red sphere from its mouth toward the ck humanoid.


    In the next instant, a devastating explosion erupted, filling the air with thick ck smoke as the deafening roar of dragons echoed through the white void.


    It was a clean hit that brought a wild smile to the young Wind Dragon''s face.


    "Hahahaha! Do you think you can make me, a dragon, submit? Delusional!"


    It believed that the ck humanoid had already been obliterated and that the world of white should be dissolving soon.


    Unfortunately, no such thing happened. It remained stuck inside the world that resembled a white void.


    After around half a minute, the thick ck smoke finally cleared, revealing the unscathed ck humanoid.


    Aeolus'' eyes nearly bulged from their sockets at the sight of its unscathed opponent.


    In the next moment, a sharp pain pierced the Wind Dragon''s head as a single punch from the ck humanoid sent it flying.


    Strangely, though the punch had struck its armored chest—shattering scales as evidence—Aeolus didn''t feel the pain there.


    It instead radiated from its head.


    The Wind Dragon felt as though an incredibly heavy object had struck its head, threatening to crush its sturdy skull.


    Unfortunately, its ordeal didn''t end there.


    Before it could even realize what was happening, its ck adversary charged forward again,unching a flying kick aimed at Aeolus. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire


    Having justnded on its back, the Wind Dragon had no way to escape.


    Thus, even though it saw the ck humanoid prepare another attack, Aeolus couldn''t evade it and was struck squarely on its side, sending shards of its shattered scales flying in every direction.


    Once more, it was sent hurtling backward, suffering from a splitting headache, its determination waning after enduring yet another powerful blow.


    It felt as though the battle would drag on indefinitely, as the Wind Dragon experienced nothing but headaches, without any other form of pain.


    Aeolus desperately longed for death, but it was impossible; the white void wouldn''t permit it.


    At this rate, its mind would give out first, and the Wind Dragon had no idea what would be of its true body if that happened.


    Would it turn into a mindless, empty shell? It didn''t know.


    And it didn''t want to find out.


    Struggling desperately, Aeolus pped its wings, forcibly regaining its bnce and dodging the ck humanoid''s next attack.


    "I WILL NEVER LOSE!!" it roared, soaring high into the white void and conjuring a series of cataclysmic winds, unleashing everything from razor-sharp wind cutters to terrifying tornadoes and fierce windstorms, all of which made their way towards the Wind Dragon''s adversary.


    Strangely, the ck humanoid didn''t even attempt to dodge.


    It was struck squarely and engulfed by everything Aeolus unleashed.


    Had the ck humanoid been Shye himself, he would have been teetering on the brink of life and death, if not already dead.


    However, even though it represented Shye, the ck humanoid''s totalbat power epassed not just his current abilities but also the potential of his future self, resulting in an invincible devastation incarnate that could not be harmed by the winds of a mere young Wind Dragon.


    Sure enough, as the roaring gale calmed down, the ck humanoid''s unscathed figure was once again revealed.@@novelbin@@


    "You…Are you even human?!"
