Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1877

The couple dared not delay and tried to escape, but from the corner of their eyes, they saw that the wooden plaque struck by the lightning had already caught fire.

Thinking back to the experience of being buried in the dirt for the past two days, the man felt a flash of resentment in his heart. Without hesitation, he grabbed the burning wooden plaque and threw it onto a pile of dry leaves nearby.

Once the dry leaves caught fire, the woman followed suit, picking up a burning branch and tossing it onto another pile of dry leaves in the opposite direction.

After completing these actions, the two finally helped each other up and staggered off.

Before they could get far, Kai had already flown above their heads. Under their astonished gaze, he sneered and, with a swift movement of his tail, struck toward them.

While he quickly dealt with them, Shannon had just completed her rain-casting spell. "Rivers, mountains, five peaks, dragon deities. Obey my command, hear and heed!"

What followed was a booming thunder above them.

Kai's entire body was covered in scales, and it felt like an electric shock ran through him, causing the scales to flare up. The familiar Strength of the Dragon Deity began to gather above his head.

Before long, a droplet fell onto his scales with a soft plop. Then, a torrential downpour followed.

The flames in the mountains were quickly suppressed by the heavy rain, and both Kai and the couple on the ground were drenched instantly.

However, Kai didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort. As the heavy rain poured down, he felt every scale on his body loosen and expand with comfort.

The sensation was both familiar and foreign, making him long to soar into the sky and immerse himself in the downpour to experience the Dragon Deity's presence.

If Shannon had been there, she would've noticed that Kai was emanating a faint silver mystic light.

The mystic light enveloped him, and along with it, the thread representing connection subtly extended within the light, seemingly leading toward a certain direction…

Just as Kai was about to follow his instincts and rush into the downpour, a sudden sound caught his ear—another voice, coming from the mountain amidst the heavy rain.

Kai, who had been focused on quickly getting Montaro off the mountain, suddenly froze when he heard those words.

A jolt of energy surged through his body as if an electric shock had passed through him. His silver scales flared up once more, and it seemed like he suddenly realized something.

He turned his head, trembling slightly, and asked Montaro on his back, "What did you say I am?"

Montaro met his eyes with the utmost clarity and seriousness. He repeated, "Little dragon."

…

No one was there to witness it at that moment, but the thread of connection, which had been quietly extending from Kai's body, unknowingly linked to Montaro.

His moment had come. Once the water enveloped him, it would mark the beginning of his evolution into a dragon.
