That was the mark of the academy's top Healer, Heisha.

In a daze, he recalled the U25SOLO match many years ago.

After the battle, he was close to collapse, and his life state became extremely unstable.

At that time, his mentor invited the famous Master Heisha to help heal him.

Master Heisha told him then:

"Your body now is like a torn cloth, leaking wind all around. Your talent allows you to win against stronger opponents, but the price is excessive use, causing fundamental damage to your body."

"Is there any solution?" he asked anxiously at that time.

He hasn't reached the stopping point yet.

Moreover, the most important thing for Shadow Stab is believing in your speed; it's crucial for them to strike decisively.

Once you lose confidence in your speed, even small hesitations can lead to vastly different outcomes.

At that time, Heisha sighed and said:

"Noding has some trouble, his hand is in bad shape, unable to be repaired as he used to be. Current techniques can't bring him back to his original state, so he may never catch up with you.

But you still have a chance to heal; I have two options here."

"Please tell me."

"First, you rest for a year, and after a year, all your injuries will be gone, and you will still be the Speed Dragon."

"And the second option?"

"The second is to abandon resting and choose to seal the leaking Life Energy in your body. This way your power growth speed won't slow down, but in your daily state, your limit will only be half of your peak."

"Is it just that the speed of power growth doesn't slow down?"

"... You geniuses are always overly sensitive to such questions." Heisha sighed, "If you unseal, all previous accumulations are in vain, but at least during the unsealed period, you can bloom in a most brilliant dance."

"How brilliant can it be?"

Heisha pondered.

But ultimately she spoke:

"If paired with my Forbidden Medicine, your 'Average Speed' will burn out completely in a short time. The Forbidden Medicine will destroy your body's essence to prevent you from dying in a short time.

But as a price, the target of your 'Average Speed' can appropriately ascend to Sequence Five."

"How long?"

"Can last one minute."

"Then I choose the latter."

Heisha looked deeply at this genius known throughout the academy:

"I hope you never have the chance to use this thing in your life."

"Then I borrow your auspicious words."

...

Recalling the events from years ago.

Morton no longer hesitated.

Perhaps he chose this option back then for this very moment.

Before this journey.

Master Heisha saw the patient she used to treat after a long time and reminded him, saying, "You have already obtained everything you can; there's no need to take the final step."

But now, Morton has made his decision.

"Sorry, it seems I can't follow the medical advice."

With an ultimate pursuit of speed, and the fiery expectations of the Menilanka people behind him, he charged into the fallen zone.

Just like back then.

Alexander's 'Pigeon' still guides him not to continue losing his way.

However, when he could vaguely see the Menilanka region he longed for in the distance, the pigeon suddenly fell to the ground, silent.

"Finally, it's this moment?"

Morton laughed aloud and swallowed the Forbidden Medicine, immediately refining it.

A pitch-black shadow slash swept toward the sky.

Suddenly, dense dark clouds gathered overhead.

A dreadful distorted elemental slowly turned its gaze toward him.

Sequence Five.

Disaster Beast.

Contaminated Elemental Spirit - Wind Monarch.

At this moment, it cast its cold gaze at the human daring to launch an attack.

The next moment, 'Average Speed' activated.

The power of Sequence Five speed, Wind Monarch's strength was replicated on him.

He felt every inch of flesh being crushed.

Yet, the power of the Forbidden Medicine kept him at his body's peak state.

At this moment, the Speed Dragon returned to the peak.

No!

The Speed Dragon exceeded the peak!

The shadow storm his body raised was wrapped by a hurricane, charging towards another Disaster Beast.

At that moment, the light his body transformed into was like a brilliant meteor.

The girl Eira stood firmly in front of her mother.

She watched as that meteor lifted the small mountain at incredible speed, wrapped it up, and hurled the giant creature out of the city wall.

"Mom, it's a meteor."

The mother, blocked by her daughter, in a daze due to blood loss, suddenly understood at this moment.

She covered her mouth and said:

"It's, it's our Menilanka's meteor."

A fleeting meteor.

She had already guessed the identity of that figure.

The girl was puzzled.

Why was it Menilanka's meteor?

But the next moment, she raised her hand in shock and said:

"Mom, there's a second meteor, no, that doesn't seem to be a meteor, that's..."

That's lightning.

From the distant horizon, pitch-black lightning spread rapidly.

The rain curtain was torn apart by the thunderbolt.

Chloe felt her body seemingly merging with the lightning.

Where the Filthy Thunder passed, Earth Power was drawn out.

Every footprint he left rose piece by piece after he departed.

Only Chloe knew what he had done.

The Filthy Thunder was the extension of his Authority of Thunder, but it wasn't enough.

Far from enough.

Ultimately, he was not the King of Pride who dominated in the echoes of history.

Currently, he was just Sequence Six.

Even the King of Pride would exhaust his strength.

Let alone someone like him now.

So, no more words are needed.

Divine Power, bloom.

This time, it's the domain of thunder and rain.

[Advanced Water Affinity (SSR)] → [Child of the Ocean (UR)]

Thunder and water united as one.

Electric shocks and water curtains intertwined and constrained each other.

The unprecedentedly terrifying Black Water Filthy Thunder turned the place he'd walked into a forbidden zone for living beings.

The fiercely burning power continually drew out Earth Power.

In the fallen zone of Menilanka, a celestial curtain was surprisingly transforming and ascending.

From Chloe's feet.

Extending all the way into the depths of the rain curtain.

The fiercely surging Destruction Power made his body cry out in pain.

But he remained silent, only accelerating!

Suddenly, the Dawn Divine Bow behind him emitted a splendid radiance.

A familiar and warm power surged back into his body.

Chloe closed his eyes.

The rain curtain wetted his face.

This familiar power...

Cang, it's been a long time.

[Divine Shooter's Protection] activated.

Guaranteed Hit Attribute now configured.

Future Vision showed him the figure charging toward the Disaster Beast.

The body of the Speed Dragon had already become blurry.

But...

He continued to accelerate.

Chloe took down the Dawn Divine Bow, and a broken halberd appeared in his hand.

That was his former weapon.

The force of Black Water Filthy Thunder, like a swallow returning to its nest, instantly merged within, enveloping his burning life energy, transforming into Pitch Black Water Bomb, entwining around the broken Battle Halberd.

"Battle Halberd, fight for me once more."

The howl of the Battle Halberd and the thunderous roar gradually merged.

It remained silent, only gradually elevating its power to the peak.

The surging energy scattered his hair.

For a moment, he even forgot his pain, immersed in that brilliance.

Next moment, the pitch-black thunder bloomed to the fullest, lightning streaked across the sky, the intense sonic boom tore open the cloud-shrouded celestial curtain.

Bend the sculpted bow like a full moon.

This strike, pierces through mountains!

However, Chloe also fell into the water pool.

His life energy had been burned down.

[Detected host is deceased, Blood Rebirth activated]

[Blood Rebirth (SSR) entering cooldown period]

[Blessed with Many Children System, wholeheartedly at your service]

The voice of the system gradually faded.

The figure fallen in the rain curtain got back up.

Thunder and black water entwined his body, the burning life energy repaired his Star Realm armament again.

He walked through the rain curtain.

The Disaster Beast as large as a hill was stepped upon under his foot.

He slowly went to the side of Speed Dragon Morton.

Sequence Five's speed made his light armor broken and shattered.

Yet every part of his body was nearly unharmed, except for the hand holding the Dragon-slaying Saber.

As if the god lightly took away his soul.

Amid the ruins, a girl braved the rain curtain, ignoring the risk that the Disaster Beast might still be alive, walking toward here.

"Is he the Menilanka's meteor that mom spoke of?"

Chloe paused for a moment and said:

"Mm, his name is Morton, the fastest dragon."

The fastest dragon would not surpass the destined fate.

But Morton could.

He won the most precious time for the existence of Menilanka.

Even if it was just a minute.

Now.

The fate of being declared dead will not be Menilanka.

The power of the Child of the Ocean opened a water curtain beside him.

Cleansing his wet body.

Morton seemed to be asleep.

Chloe drew out the Thunderous Battle Halberd, and the Battle Halberd let out a sky-shattering roar.

He murmured:

"Are you angry too?"

The Filthy Thunder that originally dissipated with his death surged into the sky again.

"The hunting moment has arrived!"
