“Right, partner, you need to be careful.”
Ddraig suddenly spoke, his voice grave: “If that guy Albion didn't get as unlucky as me and encounter a useless host like before, he might have already awakened.”
“Based on my past experience fighting him, there's a high possibility that Albion’s host this time has already learned to use Forbidden Mode.”
Ddraig didn't explain what Forbidden Mode meant to Xia Yan, nor did he ask why Xia Yan knew he was residing in Issei Hyoudou’s body.
For the Sacred Gear itself, none of that mattered.
As long as the host could use them properly.
Moreover, how could someone who knows how to take a Sacred Gear from another person’s body not understand what Forbidden Mode is?
Ddraig was actually very relieved that the host wasn’t a complete novice, and he didn’t need to waste his breath giving a newbie guide.
“This generation’s White Dragon Emperor? He’s definitely a formidable opponent.”
Xia Yan nodded.
This generation’s White Dragon Emperor was Vali Lucifer, possessing the bloodlines of both humans and devils.
Compared to Issei Hyoudou, who looked like a complete loser from the start, Vali was way stronger.
Whether it was talent or effort, Vali didn’t lack anything.
The Fallen Angel Governor, Azazel, even said directly that Vali was the strongest White Dragon Emperor in history.
His strength was evident.
At this point in time, if there were no unexpected plot twists, Vali should have already adapted to Forbidden Mode and was trying to develop a further enhanced Dragon Emperor Mode.
Xia Yan felt some pressure.
If he were to use all his power and exhaust his trump cards with his current strength, he probably wouldn’t be a match for his opponent.
Forbidden Mode.
This was a special state that temporarily granted the ability to match a Devil's strength when deployed.
“So how about it, partner, feeling the pressure?”
Ddraig, a Sacred Gear that feeds on thoughts, naturally sensed the fluctuations in Xia Yan’s emotions.
“He might be really strong. But give me some time, I’ll surpass him.”
Xia Yan smiled faintly. His tone was calm, but his confidence was even more evident.
“Good, good. It’s that kind of spirit that makes you worthy of the name of the Red Dragon Emperor.”
Ddraig also laughed heartily.
“If I’m not mistaken, that guy Albion should already be sensing my awakening.”
Ddraig’s voice became grave again.
This was the benefit of awakening early.
Not only could he train beforehand, but he could also sense the awakening of his nemesis.
“I know, my time seems very tight now.”
Xia Yan’s eyes held confidence and excitement.
“I don’t know what kind of person this generation’s White Dragon Emperor is, but partner, you’d better hurry up and improve your strength and develop Forbidden Mode.”
Ddraig reminded: “If this generation’s White Dragon Emperor comes knocking, you need to at least have the strength to defend yourself.”
He was definitely lagging behind in his awakening time this generation, dragged down by his host, Issei Hyoudou.
The new host’s strength was far inferior to this generation’s White Dragon Emperor.
In the past, it wasn’t unheard of for someone to try and directly crush their nemesis while they were still weak.
However, they all failed.
Because in the past, although there might have been some difference in the time of awakening between the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor, it wouldn't be as outrageous as this generation.
It was only a matter of being ahead by a step or falling behind by a step.
The strengths of the two nemeses also reflected this relationship of being a step ahead or a step behind.
Even if one of them lost this time, the other wouldn’t be able to do anything to them.
They would quickly catch up after missing this opportunity and reach the same level.
That’s why the destiny of the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor had been entangled for so long, and they had never truly decided the winner.
“Don’t worry, Ddraig, the White Dragon Emperor won’t be able to kill me.”
Xia Yan was absolutely confident in this.
By the time the White Dragon Emperor came knocking, the number of Dimensional Points he had probably doubled.
That would give him many more options for copying.
If all else failed, he could just use Dimensional Travel to go to another world and come back after fully mastering Forbidden Mode.
“Just be careful, anyway.”
Ddraig could feel Xia Yan’s confidence.
While he didn’t understand why the host was so confident, as long as the host was sure he could escape from the White Dragon Emperor’s grasp, that was all that mattered.
After speaking, Ddraig fell silent.
He had only come out to greet his new host this time.
As a human, being able to reach the level of an intermediate-level Devil at this age, he must have his own secrets.
Ddraig wasn’t the kind of gossip dragon who was interested in pursuing his host’s secrets.
The room suddenly fell silent, with only Xia Yan’s breathing audible.
“The White Dragon Emperor, huh?”
Xia Yan continued to lie on the sofa, closing his eyes and muttering to himself.
Taking the Red Dragon Emperor’s gauntlet from Issei Hyoudou naturally meant taking on all the future trouble that came with it.
After all, the Red Dragon Emperor itself was one of the sources of trouble.
However, Xia Yan wasn’t particularly worried about this generation’s White Dragon Emperor, Vali.
Vali was a battle maniac with an unusual obsession with strong opponents.
Based on Xia Yan’s understanding of Vali from the plot, Vali wouldn’t be very interested in his current strength, and might even give him time to grow.
Or maybe there would be a Devil High School version of a “Three-Year Agreement”?
Even if there was a sudden plot twist, and Vali suddenly came knocking and his personality changed drastically, Xia Yan could still rely on Dimensional Travel to go to another world.
“Right, System, how many Dimensional Points does it take to travel between worlds?”
Xia Yan started communicating with the System in his mind.
“Each travel uses 100,000 Dimensional Points and is a random travel.”
The System answered.
“Random?”
Xia Yan’s mouth twitched. “How many Dimensional Points do I need to get back to the Devil High School world?”
The System explained: “The Devil High School world you’re in is currently defined as the main world, with coordinates marked. You only need to pay the Dimensional Points to go to other dimensional worlds. Returning doesn’t require Dimensional Points.”
“And, you don’t need to spend Dimensional Points for a dimensional world that you’ve been to once, as long as you set the coordinates.”
“Not bad, not bad.”
Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
If he had to spend 100,000 Dimensional Points for every round trip, he wouldn’t have enough to use.
