Grace Bennett's expression also turned cold. "Mina Bennett Auntie, if you want to kill him, you'll have to kill me first. We are bound by a life-and-death contract, which is a human sealing technique. If he dies, I die too!"

As the captain of the guards, Mina Bennett was also quite troubled. She had watched Her Highness the Princess grow up—the princess born in the Year of the Azure Dragon, the pride of the Crystal Dragon clan. But how could something like this happen? She was speechless. Back then, she had agreed to the Golden Dragon clan's proposal because she thought the princess and Prince Andrew Clark were a perfect match. After all, it was hard to find a dragon worthy of the princess. But now, things had turned out like this.

"Your Highness, no matter what, this contract must be broken. Human, break it immediately. Otherwise, even if the princess tries to stop us, you must die here!"

Cody Bennett's icy voice struck Gavin Clark's mind like a giant hammer, making him dizzy—a dragon's roar!

"Cody Bennett Uncle, signing this contract with him was purely a coincidence. The real culprit is already dead, and he doesn't have the ability to break it yet. The only thing we can do now is wait."

Mina Bennett and Cody Bennett discussed for a while. Clearly, they couldn't kill this man in front of the princess. The princess's words still made their hearts race with fear—this was absolutely forbidden!

"How about this, Your Highness: come back with us, and we'll help you keep this matter secret. As for the marriage, we can delay it. As for this man, we'll let him go for now. One year—if he can't resolve it within a year, then we'll have to step in!" Mina Bennett said, her gaze at Gavin Clark sharp enough to pierce him. In her eyes, this human must have used despicable means to deceive their princess.

"Five years. One year is nowhere near enough. He must at least become a sixth-rank Sealer to have a chance of breaking it!" Seeing their determination, Grace Bennett understood the situation. At this moment, she had to ensure Gavin Clark's safety.

"Three years, Your Highness. That's the longest we can allow—no more!"

To become a sixth-rank Sealer in three years? Anyone who heard that would laugh out loud. But to the dragons, a sixth-rank Sealer was nothing special—they were used to looking down on everything.

Grace Bennett had no choice. You can hide for a while, but not forever. Even if the two of them escaped this time, if the dragons really wanted to track them down, they still wouldn't be able to hide. Even Sunset Canyon could only hold out for a while; other places would be even harder.

"I want to talk to him alone for a bit. After that, I'll go with you." As Grace Bennett spoke, she pulled Gavin Clark into the house, and the pressure of dragon might instantly disappeared.

"Master, you can't go! Let's fight them together!" Gavin Clark knew the importance of strength, but this was the first time he felt it so intensely!

When it came to finding his sister, most of the time he was just holding onto that belief, but now he was more certain than ever!

Grace Bennett smiled gently. "Silly disciple, Mina Bennett Auntie and Cody Bennett Uncle are dragon guards, and their strength is among the top ten on Dragon Island. Don't worry, they're doing this for me. Three years—if you can't become a sixth-rank Sealer, don't come looking for me. Find a good place and live a happy life. I'll be fine."

"No, Master, didn't you always say I have great talent?"

Grace Bennett gently stroked Gavin Clark's face. By human standards, Gavin Clark was already very strong, but he was up against dragons. Grace Bennett didn't have much hope. "Are we friends?"

"Master, besides my late adoptive father, you are the most important person to me!"

Grace Bennett nodded silently. In the end, she still didn't express her feelings. All of this was her fault to begin with. If she hadn't lingered in the sea of flowers, if she hadn't developed feelings, maybe... Now she... had to go.

Not long after, the three of them soared into the sky and flew off into the distance. The magical beasts around the area all breathed a huge sigh of relief, while Gavin Clark was left with only that purple diamond card in his hand. Only now did he notice the 100% loyalty rating, but there was nothing he could do—he knew all too well the power of the dragons.

Gavin Clark angrily smashed the giant tree in front of him. To be honest, this time he truly felt his own helplessness. No matter what, by any means necessary, he had to become a sixth-rank Sealer within three years. More importantly, he needed to gain the power to defeat dragons!

Episode 1, Chapter 5: The Skeleton Warband

The Trucier Continent—a beautiful and fertile land that has nurtured countless intelligent beings. They are strong and powerful, but at some point, a not-so-powerful race gradually rose up, multiplied on a large scale, and began to vie for control of the continent.

Without a doubt, that race was humanity.

After nearly a thousand years of conflict, the Trucier Continent was split in two: the east belonged to the human nations, while the west was the world of the non-humans. Humans had their internal strife, and the non-humans were no better off. Both sides fought endlessly, and from time to time, powerful figures, overlords, and kings would emerge. But their achievements were only temporary glory—humans and non-humans remained opposed.

In the early days of the war, things weren't like this. Back then, there was no concept of "non-humans"—everyone belonged to the Beast Tribe. But as humanity rose, all other non-human races came to be called "non-humans."
