If loyalty is low, the sealed beast may turn against its master, but there is also a certain chance that the sealed beast will perish along with it—even if that chance is extremely low, it still exists. This involves a soul contract, which is no trivial matter. Moreover, even if the beast doesn't perish, it will not be released!

There are two types of inheritance cards. One is set to have a random mental wavelength when completed, making it easy to buy and sell—this is why sealers are wealthy. As long as you drip your blood and match your own mental wavelength, the transfer is complete. The other type is Grace Bennett's case: an exclusive card. This kind of card must be transferred voluntarily by the sealer, or the taker must possess a sealing level far higher than theirs.

Logan Bennett certainly didn't want to share with anyone, but at this moment, it became Gavin Clark's protective talisman. With an exclusive card, if the sealer dies, the contract does not disappear, nor does the sealed beast die. But out here in the wilderness, the sealed beast will be completely trapped inside the card. Without the sealer's support, what awaits the sealed beast is endless darkness and terror, even death.

“Miss Grace Bennett, you have two choices. One is to feed me to the magical beasts—maybe you'll encounter a kind-hearted sixth-rank King of Sealing to rescue you, assuming you miraculously survive, and that this King of Sealing is truly selfless and benevolent.”

Gavin Clark said indifferently. At the very least, he shouldn't have to bear the other's anger. It's just the law of the jungle, after all. Reason? That's just a placebo for the weak, imposed by the strong.

Grace Bennett fell silent. She knew what he was saying was true, and his sarcastic tone made her uncomfortable. But... it seemed... all humans are the same!

“And the second option?” Grace Bennett wasn't without anger, but faced with such an insignificant ant, clearly her contract was more important.

“I will study sealing techniques until I am capable of dealing with the contract between us.”

Grace Bennett laughed coldly. “Do you take me for a fool? The card sealing me is the strongest one, and the sealing technique is quite ancient. It would take at least a sixth-rank sealer—do you really think you can do it?”

Grace Bennett didn't bother to hide her contempt, because she truly didn't sense much power from the human before her. Humans are weak, but this one was even weaker.

Gavin Clark also laughed, shrugging casually. “Is that so? If you prefer the first option, I don't mind.”

“You!” Grace Bennett was so angry she couldn't speak. As a noble dragon, no one had ever spoken to her like this. Yet the weak human before her didn't take her seriously at all. Grace Bennett could sense that he truly felt no fear.

What to do?

If she killed him, even if she could avoid the contract's backlash, what awaited her would be an even slimmer chance. Dragons have long lifespans, and Grace Bennett bore a mission—she couldn't die. Just as this human said, if she waited for him, there might still be a chance. Besides, she could play it by ear; if a better opportunity arose, Grace Bennett wouldn't let it slip by.

“What is your name?”

“Gavin Clark.”

“Gavin Clark, you and I are only partners. Don't think about enslaving me or making any excessive demands, or I won't be polite!” With a casual wave, dragon power blasted out, gouging a huge pit in the ground. The violent airflow made Gavin Clark stagger.

This is the power of the dragon race. No wonder humans risk their lives to pursue it.

“Amazing! If we had you when building city walls, we could have saved a lot of effort!” Gavin Clark mocked. He wasn't afraid of death; threatening him with it was laughable. Looks like dragon intelligence isn't all that great either.

“Hmph, in that case, special training starts now. Although I don't know sealing techniques, to learn them, strength is a must. You're too weak right now!”

In an instant, Gavin Clark was grabbed and lifted into the air. The next moment, he was already airborne... The feeling was quite unpleasant. Many times, Gavin Clark envied the birds soaring freely in the sky, but experiencing his first aerial journey like this was not enjoyable at all.

With only one percent loyalty, all it guaranteed was that Grace Bennett wouldn't kill him. For everything else, she could do as she pleased. But as a high-ranking dragon, Grace Bennett didn't have as many devious tricks as humans.

All she could think of was to torment him through training.

Grace Bennett had no confidence in her heart, but she had no choice but to continue. Before she gained her freedom, this person could not die!

As for Gavin Clark? It seemed he had no right to choose at all right now. Only by staying alive was there hope.

In this world, only two races are born with the ability to fly. Dragons are undoubtedly one of them. This ability to soar freely through the skies is envied by all races, and they rely on their powerful dragon battle aura to fly at will.

Grace Bennett flew over the Mississippi Mountains and arrived at a place especially suitable for training. According to her senses, the monsters here were of many types and in great numbers—perfect for torturous special training.

Sunset Canyon, one of the five forbidden lands of the Truxia Continent. Just as Grace Bennett sensed, it was indeed lively here, though perhaps a bit excessively so. Of course, dragons have nothing to fear.
