"You're infuriating me!"
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't win, Elefseria would have wanted to strike right now. Unfortunately, he didn't have that kind of strength now, and it was impossible for him to have it in the future.
Taking a deep breath, Elefseria pulled out a map. "Crossing the Valyria region southwest of the Dragon of the Magic Array, there is a port city named Ermina."
"That city once worshipped the Water God Dragon Melkobia as a deity, and it was also the last place Melkobia was seen."
"If you go there, you should be able to find clues related to the Water God Dragon."
Hope looked at the map, his brow furrowing slightly. The Dragon of the Magic Array was on the eastern side of the continent, while Ermina, which supposedly had clues about the Water God Dragon, was on the western side.
A rough estimate suggested that the two places were at least a thousand miles apart.
If they reached the place and found no useful information, not only would it be a wasted trip, but even the only clue related to the Five Dragon Gods would be lost.
Seeing Hope's reluctance written all over his face, Elefseria smiled slightly. "Ermina is currently a 'miraculous' city; I've heard it's very interesting."
Hope's eyes lit up. It sounded like a lot of fun, so he just had to go. Even if he didn't find the whereabouts of the Water God Dragon, he could still have a good time.
After discussing it with his companions, everyone decided to set off immediately.
Seeing that this group of troublesome youngsters finally planned to let him go, Elefseria breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before leaving, Hope asked Elefseria one last question. "Senior, I heard from Council member Selena that you once defeated the sixth dragon among the Five Dragon Gods. Why now..."
"You want to ask why this old man is cooped up in the guild, don't you?"
Elefseria sighed and looked up at the dark ceiling. "Although the Earth God Dragon is the weakest among the God Dragons, I also paid a fatal price to deal with him."
He pointed to his chest. "My heart was eaten by him."
Hearing this, Hope carefully looked Elefseria up and down. Relying on the Enhancement to his hearing provided by his Magnetic Field Power, he clearly heard the Voice of a heartbeat coming from him.
In such a matter, there was no need for Elefseria to deceive him.
So... was it a heart transplant?
Hope hadn't forgotten that the gravity man Bluenote had his kidney destroyed by him at the Tower of Paradise, and later Hades bought him a custom-made Magic Organ as a replacement.
And that Alchemy guild that manufactured Magic Organs was right here on the continent of Giltina.
Elefseria didn't know that Hope's thoughts had already gone astray. He explained, "Because of the influence of Dragonification, a human no longer needs a heart after turning into a dragon."
"When I turned back into a human, the dragon race's formidable life force allowed me to grow an internal organ that could replace the function of a heart, which is how I managed to survive by chance."
So that was it.
The bodies of the dragon race were truly terrifyingly strong.
Hope sighed silently. Over 400 years ago, when Dragon Slayer Magic had not yet appeared, how desperate must humanity have been in the face of attacks and harassment from evil dragons.
Fortunately, every cause has its effect. Acnologia became the karma for the entire dragon race, though it was unfortunate for those dragons who had helped humanity.
"Hope, I want to privately entrust you with a task."
Elefseria's expression became serious. "After the Earth God Dragon was defeated, his body turned into a Giant Labyrinth. Recently, I've felt that the heart he ate has begun to beat again."
"I want to ask you to destroy that heart; otherwise, the Law Dragon's ability to obtain all knowledge and intelligence in the magic world will fall into their hands."
"As a reward, I will do my best to gather information on the whereabouts of the gods for you."
"..."

Valyria is the most peculiar region on the continent of Giltina. Not only are there strange Plants here, but there are also many bizarre animals.
"Wow! What is this?" Natsu watched a group of Walking Jellyfish marching in a line like ants and couldn't help but squat down to pick one up for a closer look.
Seeing the jellyfish's cute and innocent appearance, Lucy also picked one up.
Meanwhile, Cana had already mischievously poured some alcohol for a jellyfish... However, in the next second, the jellyfish would show these three fools that even cute things can be very dangerous.
With a whoosh, three jellyfish suddenly stuffed themselves into the mouths of Cana, Natsu, and Lucy. Other jellyfish also lunged at them, which gave everyone a shock.
However, they were ultimately weak creatures. Although unique, they didn't have the power to truly harm people. Levy simply wrote a Wind Script character and blew the Walking Jellyfish swarm away.
Cana pulled the drunken jellyfish out of her mouth. "Ow, my mouth is stinging with pain."
"Serves you right. Who told you to go around giving alcohol to jellyfish?" Mirajane teased from the side, though she showed gentle concern for Lucy.
As for Natsu, after pulling out the jellyfish with Happy's help, he acted as if nothing had happened and started shouting at a nearby Horned Boar that was eating grass. He truly had an enviable amount of vitality.
Just then, a massive magic power fluctuation came from a nearby mountain range. With the mindset of loving to watch a commotion, everyone unanimously decided to go see what was happening.
When they arrived at the source of the magic power fluctuation, the mountaintop had already collapsed and crumbled under the collision of magic. Endless piles of Stone and mud were scattered everywhere.
The nearby mountainside was covered in sword marks of varying thickness, length, and depth. It looked like the work of a master of swordsmanship.
And atop the ruins stood a white giant dragon.
With its supple and bright fur and scales, broad wings, sharp claws, and a well-proportioned, powerful giant body, it was truly worthy of being called majestic.
But at this moment, the white dragon looked extremely disheveled, as if the entire dragon had been severely injured.
And all of this was because of its enemy.
A tall and burly man with coarse features, his hair, eyebrows, and beard standing up like those of Zhang Fei.
The man's naked upper body was covered in dense scars. He wore gold bracers adorned with diamonds on his arms, and despite being bare-chested, he wore a cloak behind him that was sewn with some kind of scales.
This strange outfit was enough to rival the poor fashion sense in the Magnetic Field World, where one wouldn't even have the desire to complain about a vest and cape.
"Jorg Leissen!"
The white dragon roared, "I have never harmed a single human! Why do you keep hounding me!"
"You are truly laughably naive. Killing you has nothing to do with whether you are evil or not." The man revealed a ferocious smile, his tyrannical magic power actually overpowering the giant dragon.
In his burning gaze toward the white dragon was unconcealed greed. "If you want to blame something, blame yourself for having value for consumption; otherwise, how could you be targeted by me, a Dragon Eaters?"
"Sword Saint Dragon Kurnugi."
"You can go die now!"
