Valerian and Fortuna were confused by the statement. They did not understand what the lady was talking about. Fortuna asked, "What do you mean by the norms of the human body?"

The saintess said, "Well, usually, the body of a human will decay over time, right? We all age."

She paused, and the two people nodded before she continued, "Immortuous has no such limitation. His body does not age."

Valerian opened his eyes wide, and Misericordia said, "His body is made of condensed mana. One cycle of mana circulation and he will be good as new. None of the mages can fight with him. Even the late Queen of Dragons failed to fight him. Her decay magic, which was why everyone dreaded her, could not hold a candle to the potential Immortuous displayed."

Fortuna asked, "You mean to say that he is immortal?"

Misericordia shook her head and said, "Half Immortal. His body is composed of the perfect balance of the five elements. However, if the mana can be imbalanced, he will die. However, it is not that easy. Ordinary spells cannot harm him. Even if you use decay magic on him, his physical and battle prowess is high enough to fight with great Dragon King Dracos on the same level."

Fortuna opened her eyes wide open. She did not know what to say. Some of her wanted to say that it was all a lie, but she knew it wasn’t the case. Misericordia had nothing to gain from the lies.

Though the situation was too bizarre, if Immortuous was half immortal, no matter how long they waited, this man would not fall. Even if the entire world crumbled, Immortuous would still survive. This was a disaster.

Valerian asked, ’There must be some way to kill this guy?’

Misericordia nodded and said, "There is one way. However, I am unsure if you can get through it."

Fortuna narrowed her eyes and asked, "What is it?"

The old lady saw their stern expressions and sighed, "Well, it is called the trial of the dragon god."

Fortuna opened her eyes wide and said, "That trial is impossible. None can complete it."

Misericordia shook her head and said, "If not for that, I do not know what can be done."

Valerian asked, ’Grandma, what is this trial you speak about?’

Fortuna said, "Valerian, don’t even think about it. You will not survive, and I do not want to die so early."

The young man cast her a gaze and asked, ’Why do you have to be so paranoid? Let me listen to it before we make a decision."

Fortuna pouted and crossed her hands as she said, "Your Eminence, please tell him what it is."

The old lady rubbed her forehead and then said, "The trial of primus involves you going deep inside the Hell ravine and retrieving the first dragon treasure."

Valerian asked, ’What is so hard about this trial?’

Fortuna stood up and said, "The Hell Ravine is located in the magical realm of the bloom-kin. The first dragon treasure is a stone. That rock is as big as a fist, but it can destroy everything and anything."

Valerian asked, ’Too obscure.’

The dragon queen said, "The dragon stone is said to be the first dragon treasure and can undo all sorts of magic. It can absorb mana from anyone and everyone who touches it."

The young man asked, ’What is the catch?’

Misericordia sighed and said, "Till date, many warriors and mages have entered the ravine, but they have never come out."

Valerian raised his brows and asked, "That is all?"

Fortuna could not help herself and smacked the back of his head. She pinched his ear and said, "Dumbass, that ravine is the house of fallen souls. They suck out vitality. The dragon rock does not help against death."

Valerian freed his ear and came to stand next to Misericordia, "Stop bullying me, you brute. So what if it has death magic, I have decay magic. I can balance it by channeling it through my body."

Fortuna was stunned, and Misericordia was shocked. The latter asked, "Why do you have Decay magic inside you?"

Valerian smiled and said, ’I inherited this from Her Majesty Senium."

The old lady was surprised, but she nodded. Fortuna sighed and said, "That magic will only help you until you reach close enough to the rock. As soon as you touch it, the magic will be canceled, and you will suffer from the effects of the death energy."

Valerian scratched his head and asked, ’Do you think, Her excellence, Boo-too, will know something about it?’

Fortuna sighed and said, "Although she is not an enemy, Boo-too is from the bloomkin. They do not meddle in the affairs of the mortal world. I do not think she will help us."

Valerian sighed and then asked, "Well, we will never know until we ask her. This is not just our revenge but is way bigger than that. The fate of the entire world must be considered."

Fortuna and the Saintess both exchanged glances. They were unsure what to do when an ethereal voice sounded, "At least one of you has the guts."

The three people looked at the other side of the room and found a tiny flowery creature appear in the void. Valerian bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

Boo-too nodded, casting a gaze on Misericordia and Fortuna. She said, "You both think a bit too much. The bloomkin never meddled with mortal affairs, but Immortuous is no longer mortal. He is half-immortal and a demon."

Fortuna asked, "What do you mean by a demon? How long have you been hearing us talking?"

Boo-too replied, "Immortuous has successfully blended the Escalon Shield in his back. A sneak attack cannot kill him."

This was a bomb that made Misericordia, Valerian, and Fortuna go numb at the same time. They did not expect something like this to be heading their way. Valerian was the first to wake up and said, ’If he can do this once, then he can also do this again. The day he has completed his transformation, he can break through the barrier.’

Misericordia asked, "What do you mean, Val? How can he break through the dragon barrier."

Valerian replied, ’Dragon barrier does not stop dragons and dragon treasures. With his body blended with dragon treasures, the barrier will also see him as a dragon treasure. It will not stop him."

Fortuna snorted and said, "Even if he does that, the dragons are not afraid of him."

Valerian sighed and said, ’Muscle brain, he will be a dragon treasure. You are not afraid of him, but the bloodline will bow down before the might of the dragon god in his body.’

The dragon queen sensed a twitch develop on the corner of her lips. Boo-too said, "The only way is to get that rock from the ravine. However, Valerian, there is no surety that you can make it back alive."

Valerian shrugged and said, ’Right now, we are sitting ducks. This will not help us. I, for one, do not want him to come and walk all over my pride. I would rather die fighting."

Fortuna gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you going down there?"

Valerian nodded and said, ’Do not worry; I know that Dragons or any other magical creatures cannot enter the Bloomkin realm.’

The dragon queen hesitated, and Valerian caught the spark in her eye. He said, ’You do not have to worry, I can remove the bond if you are bothered about it.’

Fortuna shook her head and said, "Do not think of me as some weakling. I don’t fear death. However, if something happened to you, we might have anyone else stand up to the Tyrant."

Valerian shook his head and said, ’Let the world know who the Tyrant is. Things he did have been kept under wraps for a bit too long. The world is filled with heroes. Let them decide if they wish to live enslaved to a creature who is not even a human.’

Boo-too nodded and said, "Well, he does have a point. Also, do not forget that you are not the only one who is going to fight against him. Fortuna Dracos, your task is to unite all the magical folk to gather. The world is in danger. The duty of the magical folk is to fight against the threat. Rally them under one banner."

Fortuna was surprised and Boo-too said, "Siantess Misericordia, it is time when the order of Mercy stands up and helps those who fight for the sake of the world. Valerian and all those who fight will need the blessings."

Misericordia nodded calmly. Valerian turned his head to look at the old lady and asked, ’Grandma, you can continue with the story. I want to know what happened to my parents. How did they die? I want to know how did the tyrant survived after fighting Dragon King Dracos.’
