Chapter 41 Sade’s Birthday And Philomena’s Departure

Today was Sade's third year in this world.

It was also the first time that he called Prescott his "Mother" in Draconian language.

Three years ago on this very day, the dragon mother Prescott and Sade first entered each others' lives.

Prescott was obviously ecstatic!

According to human traditions, today was supposed to be Sade's birthday. Normally for humans, there was apparently a need to set up a festive banquet with an invitation to friends and relatives to come and give their blessings to their children.

However, Prescott did not mention Sade's family to him at all.

Instead, she took to the Storm Sea to hunt a monstrous Holy-tier Sea Beast. She was set on inviting every King-tier monster in the Great Basin to feast on it and offer their blessings to Sade.

The Storm Sea was a forbidden area on a whole different side of the continent. The sea was vast and endlessly deep. Within it roamed countless Sea Beasts that were said to be as large as life itself.

At that period of time, only creatures like dragons were known to be able to rival creatures like Sea Beasts.

Prescott went out hunting for a Holy-tier Sea Beast in the Storm Sea because on one hand, Sea Beasts were large enough. Even one Sea Beast would be enough to feed all her guests. On the other hand, most of the creatures in the Great Basin were only King-tier Magical Beasts. Almost no Holy-tier creatures existed there. Her plan was to host a grand celebration for Sade to help him gain a solid footing in the Great Basin.

When the Steel Gorilla, king of the King-tier Magical Beasts, received Prescott's invitation to the celebration, it was undeniably intrigued.

After all, a Holy-tier Sea Beast was to be served as the main dish. The energy contained within a Holy-tier Sea Beast was simply far too powerful and terrifying. Anyone would be enticed to feast on it.

The Steel Gorilla agreed without even giving it a second thought.

After all these years, it had long wanted to get in touch with Sade, but because the Steel Gorilla wasn't a good role model for the child, its intentions were then quickly rejected by the dragon mother.

All along, most King-tier monsters knew about the terrifying dragon in the central volcano and assumed that the dragon cub that was growing there was equally terrifying as well.

However, only the Steel Gorilla that was in touch with Prescott knew that the little creature was no dragon cub, but instead was a human baby!

The Steel Gorilla had seen Sade drink Solar Milk with its own eyes.

In all honesty, it had been shouting in its head that Prescott was a wastrel and was extremely foolish for doing this.

Why would she feed him Solar Milk?

With the daily feeding, if it was a King-tier monster, the body would've been able to absorb all the energy within its own constitution.

But to feed it to a human baby, how would that exactly come to pass?

However, the result came as a complete shock.

Not only was the human baby able to consume the Solar Milk, Sade enjoyed drinking it. In fact, it even felt as if he was hungry for more!

Moreover, as time passed, Sade's body gradually exuded an aura similar to Prescott's—the strength of a dragon!

Although it wasn't as strong as Prescott's aura, it was undeniably the strength of dragons. Sade was obviously Prescott's own bloodline! Strangely, Sade took on the appearance of a human baby despite showing the strength of a dragon cub.

Could Sade be a Drakonid?

The Steel Gorilla guessed that Sade was most likely the offspring of Prescott and a human.

This was undoubtedly unprecedented!

It must be noted that even during normal circumstances, it was already difficult enough for dragons to breed within its own kind. For a creature as terrifying as Prescott, the probability of getting pregnant was even more difficult, even less so with a human!

And now, the appearance of Sade was exactly what it had previously guessed him to be—a Drakonid!

Furthermore, if its guess was accurate, Sade was a Drakonid with the bloodline of the Ancient Dragons! This news made the Steel Gorilla even more excited.

As Prescott's only offspring, Sade would be a Drakonid with the bloodline of an Ancient Dragon. If he continued to grow, his strength would eventually match the power of a Holy-tier creature! Essentially, it would not be impossible to see him become 80% more powerful than the Holy-tier creatures.

The Steel Gorilla still could not forget the shock when it saw Prescott throw the huge body of the Holy-tier Sea Beast onto the ground like it was nothing. This was a memory it would never be able to erase from its mind for the rest of its life.

Recalling that terrifying incident, the Steel Gorilla decided right there and then that it was in its own best interest to form a good relationship with Sade.

After all, given the fertility rate of an Ancient Dragon like Prescott, it was most likely that Sade would be Prescott's only offspring!

Forming strong ties with Sade would strengthen its relationship with Prescott. Without a doubt, it would bring him much good.

However, contrary to its belief, what the Steel Gorilla didn't know was that Sade was not a Drakonid. Even as he grew up, Sade did not display any form of dragon characteristics. He sure had Prescott's bloodline, but he was still a human, and a Heaven-Blessed human being at that.

Sade was the one who acknowledged Prescott as his own mother.

Throughout these three years being raised by Prescott, Sade believed that there was no mother in the world who was more caring and loving than Prescott.

...

Above the central volcano, thick black smoke was slowly arising from the crater.

At this moment, a short figure was sitting on a rock at the corner of the crater, looking far off into the distance.

He donned a single purple leather jacket that was made out of rough yarn that connected various pieces of leather. Despite that, the color of the purple leather jacket was exceptionally bright and striking.

That person was Sade.

Although today was Sade's birthday, he couldn't find it in himself to be happy.

The reason was clear. Philomena, who grew up with him, said goodbye a few days ago and had returned to the human realm. Her reason was simple. She really missed home.

She had been staying in the Great Basin for three years.

During these three years, not only did she perfectly fulfill her agreement with Prescott, she had also truly integrated herself into this big family.

Sade was already three years old at this point.

The astonishing talents he displayed had shocked Philomena.

How was he blessed with this much power?

Not only did he easily learn the common language of the continent, but he also had a rudimentary grasp of the Draconian language and he even learned the language of the Kingdom of Herlock.

He even had an outstanding talent in magical abilities.

As far as she knew, Sade was a Heaven-Blessed individual who was able to control all four elements. She had previously seen his ability to control water and was also able to manipulate fire, wind, and earth.

Even Philomena, who was extremely talented at using fire magic, had suffered a huge blow back then. She had not been able to enhance her abilities. However, with Prescott's strict training and guidance, Philomena gradually saw vast improvements in her abilities.

In just three years, she had successfully advanced to the Magister-level and she had become a Fire Spellcaster that could rival Gold-tier Magical Beasts!

One should not forget that it was in fact Prescott, the great Red Dragon who had become the "Ancient Dragon", who had mentored her for the past three years to get her to this level.

With Prescott's help, Philomena had the chance to master many powerful fire magic spells.

In terms of combatting ability, Philomena was even able to rival some of the newly-advanced Magisters, and for this precise reason, Philomena had asked Prescott for permission to return home. Three years after she had learned the common language of the continent with Sade, she had already perfectly fulfilled her agreement with Prescott.

Now, she wanted to go back and return to her parents to reassure them that she wanted to finish her studies in the Mage Academy.

Prescott agreed upon her request because she was extremely pleased with Philomena's performance.

In the past three years, not only had she taught Prescott a lot regarding humankind, but she had also aided Prescott in raising Sade.

For this reason, when they parted ways, Prescott went to collect rare materials and also personally purified her own crimson fire ore to make a King-level spell for Philomena that could rival a grand Magister.

She also sent the Green Jade Python to see Philomena on her way back.

On the day of Philomena's departure, Sade also went to send her off. However, from that day on, Sade seemed to be haunted by the fact that Philomena was gone.

A mysterious voice appeared in his head and continuously whispered in his mind, begging him to live with humankind.

In fact, he really wanted to go back to the human world to be with humans.

As a transmigrator, it was not easy for him to transmigrate into this world. He could not stay in the Great Basin where humans were few and far between.

Unsurprisingly, Sade's request was strongly rejected by Prescott.
