In the Silverstone town,
'Ding,
The lightning tribulation for the Shadow dragon will start at any moment now. Please remove the barrier around the town.
Time continued to pass as one hour passed by in a flash as Lucas received the system notifications regarding the lightning tribulation for the Shadow Dragon.
"Remove."
With a single word, the barrier around the Silverstone town flashed for a moment before disappearing into thin air.
"Did you make all the necessary preparations?"
After removing the barrier, Lucas asked the shadow dragon with a calm look on his face.
Even though he was looking calm on the surface, Lucas was hoping that nothing goes wrong with the lightning tribulation because as long as the shadow dragon overcomes the lightning tribulation, it would become a Heavenly spirit beast that is equivalent to Heavenly knight, Heavenly mage and Heavenly assassin.
So, Lucas was making sure that the shadow dragon prepared very well from his side while making sure that the dragon had prepared from its side too.
"Master, I am all prepared and waiting for the lightning tribulation."
The shadow dragon replied to Lucas with a confident look in its eyes along with a lot of determination.
'Make sure to toss the dark ember fruits I gave you in between the lightning strikes to quickly recover your energy. Also, don't forget about the cosmic crystals too.'
This time, Lucas silently transmitted his voice into the Shadow dragon's head as he reminded the dragon about the dark ember fruits and the cosmic crystals.
Since the system informed him that the lightning tribulation would start in an hour, he asked the little snake to condense another cosmic crystal. Adding with the earlier cosmic crystal, Lucas gave both the cosmic crystals to the little snake.
And the dark ember fruits which replenish half of the dark/shadow energy in the consumer's sea, which he gave a dozen of them to the shadow dragon.
'Even though it seems like I am spending a lot, as long as it becomes a Heavenly spirit beast by overcoming the lightning tribulations, I will be getting back 1000…no 10000 times….no I can't measure the value of my returns.'
Lucas revealed a slight smile, hoping everything to go well as he walked away from the shadow dragon.
Along with him, everyone from the Silverstone town moved one kilometer away from the shadow dragon as they didn't want to get roasted by the heavens.
"Young master, don't worry. The shadow dragon will overcome the lightning tribulation without any problem."
Beck walked to Lucas' side as she said to Lucas to build his confidence in the shadow dragon.
"Do I look like I am worrying about that giant lizard?"
Lucas frowned as he replied to Beck in a calm tone.
"Yes. It is written all over your face."
With a slight smile on her face, Beck replied to Lucas, making Lucas' frown increase even more.
'What? Am I really worrying about its life? No..'
Lucas didn't agree with Beck' words for a moment; however, he realized something and nodded his head in agreement with Beck's words.
"Why will I not get worried when my strongest spirit beast is undergoing the lightning tribulation. If it fails, it will become useless to me."
This was Lucas' explanation for why he was unconsciously worrying about the shadow dragon.
"No, young master. This is not a worry about being useless to you. It is a worry about losing your friend if things go south."
Beck was no longer smiling as she seriously replied to Lucas.
'What? Me? Worry about a lizard's life?'
Lucas was unable to believe Beck's words as he looked at the shadow dragon in the distance as he tried to deny it.
However, when he remembered the time he spent with the Shadow dragon in the Guardian liar and how he joked with it, he unconsciously started worrying about the shadow dragon.
That's right!
Other than the time when he was outside the Silverstone, he would spend some time with the shadow dragon in the Guardian liar every day.
Even though he calls it 'Lizard' on the surface, Lucas never meant it in a negative way and he also didn't know when he considered it as one of his close friends.
'...'
Lucas didn't know what was happening to him after coming to this world because he was feeling different in many ways after coming to this world.
'Maybe, I was in desperate need of some close friends in the past life that is making me this way.'
There were many times, Lucas wanted some friends and was envious of others who had friends.
Even though Lucas had nine colleagues who were trained by the same organization, they lost in their own worlds.
Moreover, they just know very little about each other as they never shared anything with each other except for the Quickscar. Nevertheless, even Quickscar only spoke about web novels and games which never piqued his interest.
'I need to stop denying the fact that I am no longer the same person from my previous life.'
Lucas clenched his fists as he muttered to himself.
Actually, when he took revenge against the organization, Lucas felt like if there were another life, he would live without killing anyone.
However, the situation in this firmament world would not let him live like that and he needed to become stronger to protect himself and his family.
Soon, he started his killing and thought he never changed and remained as the same person who only lives for killing.
So, he realized something today that made him understand that he definitely changed a lot compared to his past self.
'Phew'
All of a sudden, Lucas felt relieved as though a lot of burden on him disappeared into thin air.
'Rumble'
Soon, the sky above the shadow dragon started changing as black-coloured clouds started appearing while letting out rumbling sounds.
At the same time, they released small lightning flashes around them as though warning everyone that the lightning tribulation is about to start.
"Lizard, all the best."
Lucas shouted these words from the bottom of his heart as he looked at the tribulation cloud.
