Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 1039  Tekur Blood

"The Red Dragon destroyed Nest Six in the western region. The Dragonbound collected the deceased and looted the warehouses with your Plunder Crystals!" The Dragonbound were ordinary Summons with a high affinity toward heat, animals, and mythical beings. To be precise, the Red Dragon liked them a lot. The Summons played with the Red Dragon and treated her with great care. They did everything she wished for, which was also why she issued the request to fly with her caregivers into battle. Michael and others rejected that proposal because the caregivers weren't powerful Summons at the 3rd Tier or higher. They couldn't resist the purgatory flames of the Red Dragon and would die from the heat. Even if the mythical flames weren't close to them, they would burn and kill the Summons.

That was at least until the Red Dragon started treating the Summons with her draconic energy. She provided the Summons with draconic energy, fueled them, and helped them circulate the draconic energy quickly through their bodies. The Red Dragon had intended to help the caregivers advance quickly, but the effect was much more than that. The draconic energy changed something within the Summons.

They received new powers and felt more comfortable in the warmth. The mythical flames of the Red Dragon were still too strong for them, but they didn't suffer as much after the initial training sessions offered by the Red Dragon. The training sessions continued, and the Summons changed slowly. Their heat resistance increased slowly but steadily, their pupils changed slightly, and their power skyrocketed. Some even awakened a tiny affinity flame within their Energy Pillar. They learned how to conjure and control small flames.

The initial rejection of the dragon rider proposal was no more. Instead, Michael and others supported the Red Dragon now that they saw some initial results. Michael observed the Red Dragon intently and proposed to give the Summons a droplet of the Red Dragon's blood. Until that point, the caregivers weren't strong enough – and heat resistant enough – to survive fighting alongside the Red Dragon. They could survive on her back for a while as she spit out some flames, but the Red Dragon had to hold back her power, which would be a death sentence in a life-and-death battle if she wanted the caregivers to survive.

The Red Dragon agreed, and so did the caregivers, though reluctantly. The Summons wanted to grow stronger and be by the Red Dragon's side. That was why they consumed the Red Dragon's blood. It was only later they found out that they bound themselves permanently to the Red Dragon by consuming its blood. The Summons transformed into Dragonbound, beings similar to the Dragys. However, instead of acting like they were actually dragons, the Dragonbound knew they were humans whose powers were changing and improving with the power level of the Red Dragon.

First thing first, the Dragonbound's power changed. Their DNA was altered by consuming the dragon blood. They grew scales, and their eyes transformed into reptilian slits. Some Dragonbound could be seen growing a bulge from their tailbone while others ended up growing horns. The changes were painful, but the Dragonbound prevailed. They acquired draconic energy, which they could produce and alter further to adjust the energy to their powers, and their fire affinity seeds expanded.

As time passed, the Dragonbound transformed into one of the strongest Summon units of the Untamed Forces. They were powerful and easily survived the dangers of being with the Red Dragon and Zeroa. Their bodies could easily overcome the tremendous heat filling the surroundings whenever the Elemental Empress and the Red Dragon combined their powers. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

That was also why the Dragonbound ended up being the ones ransacking the Nests destroyed by the Elemental Empress and the Red Dragon. They walked freely through the burned-down Nests and plundered everything. Even if the corpses of most Tekur were burned until almost nothing was left – many didn't even leave behind their bones – the Plunder Crystals, creations by Michael using the Divinity Seed, could procure the SoulStar Fragments and Soultrait Symbols of the recently deceased. It didn't matter what they looked like. As long as remnants of their soul were still there, they could be looted.

Michael didn't have to orchestrate a lot on the battlefield. After telling the Silverfang Princess and the Crown Prince off, they got their act together and decided to compete – more or less friendly – against each other on the battlefield. The better sibling would receive full control of the Silverfangs once the Primal were defeated. That was their deal. Michael was unsure how that would work out, but he left the siblings to deal with their issues now that the biggest problems had been solved. That was why he gave them enough authority to control the Untamed Forces alongside Hiraku, Lilica, and Siegfried.

The dangers in the Origin Expanse were easy to organize and to put into different categories. Every territory had its own danger level, as the Lord's tier and territory size determined the average combat prowess in the region. Some territories had oddly powerful members, mostly old Tekur Awakened, who retired one of the regions of the new generation, but most of the time, Michael and Rebecca calculated the danger level of every territory properly. That being said, Michael and Rebecca forwarded the danger level with decent precision, which Lilica, Hiraku, the Silverfang siblings, and Siegfried took into consideration when they deployed the forces. The most dangerous Tekur territory in the nearby regions belonged to a Divine Lifeform. It was one of the strongest Tekur they'd ever faced, but even the Divine Tekur Lord was taken care of with a few simple steps.

The Guardian Beast, the Azure Quetzalcoatl, burned the Tekur Nests of the Divine Tekur Lord to a cinder alongside the Red Dragon and the Elemental Empress before aiming for the Divine Tekur's life. While some may consider this as excessive, the truth was that it was necessary. Even though the Divine Tekur Lord was only a Tier-7 powerhouse, he was in possession of an Ancient Soul Technique with perfect mastery. Following that, the Divine Tekur was quite powerful, especially since the amount of Soul Power coursing through his Soultrait Symbol was enormous. The territory of the Divine Tekur was larger than the Sacred Desert after it expanded to an Intermediate Region, which contained more than ten times the Sacred Desert's population. Of course, Michael had more Soul Power than the Divine Tekur, but that didn't mean the Divine Tekur Lord was weak. Michael was just too powerful. The Divine Tekur was also rather old and had lived through countless adversaries. He knew what to do against powerful enemies and how to deal with them.

That was also why the Divine Tekur Lord requested reinforcement from outside the Origin Expanse and within. Most troubles could be solved alone, but as a race overflowing with members, most weaker than the rest of the universe, whenever they fought alone against truly powerful beings, the best way to overwhelm their enemies was to call for the masses. That was what the Divine Tekur Lord did, not realizing that a few hundred Divine Tekur wouldn't be enough to eliminate the Untamed Forces. After all, the Untamed Forces weren't only made up by a few Super Awakened, the Azure Quetzalcoatl and two Divine Beasts. No, the Untamed Forces were also the Divine Subordinates and the other Super Awakened who had been deployed to obliterate the Tekur's home in the universe. But since the Tekur desired to play with fire in the Origin Expanse…so be it!!
