As the Giant Dragon approached, Li Ang was finally close enough to activate its panel.

However, the panel only confirmed its identity; it was a Star Soul, as Li Ang had begun to suspect shortly after seeing it.

Eden had said that the Wotam Church Country was the Land of Unceasing Thunder, yet on their journey, they saw little thunder, only encountering Thundercloud Streams near the foot of Thunder Mountain.

The "Thunderstorm Star Soul" mentioned by the Giant Wolf Star Soul could indeed relate to this phenomenon. Seeing the scenery, Li Ang speculated about this possibility too.

Upon reaching the summit, they were awed by the Giant Dragon, partly due to its size, but also because, unlike Eden and Anastasia, it was not depleted of power and could still create a vast domain around Thunder Peak.

Originally, their ascent was to uncover the whereabouts of Teacher ALulu and the secrets of the Thunder Mountain Church, as well as to see if there were any clues about the Divine Artisan's Five Swords. Li Ang took the opportunity to bring up star soul-related matters as a convenient segue.

After mentioning the Star Soul, Zoe ran a few steps to his side.

Upon entering the domain, she felt something, but she didn't know what made this Dragon so special; her perception wasn't as clear and detailed as before, so she remained silent.

Zoe raised her hand to unleash the power of the Star Soul Greenhouse. Notably, she demonstrated Eden's power and even released the Earth Serpent behind her.

The Star Soul recognized Zoe's certification ability, and witnessing Eden's power, the tumultuous thunder around the Dragon calmed somewhat.

It said nothing, though its suspicion was evident.

Perhaps it had witnessed too much or didn't regard Zoe as importantly as Eden did.

Its massive head came to the cliff's edge, and the mere power emanating from its body caused strong winds, blowing back Li Ang's sleeves.

When the sleeve retreated to the elbow, those around saw, near his elbow, a Crimson Thorn pierce through his flesh, starkly contrasting with his pale human skin.

This indicated the presence of Demon Flesh within him, now appearing as undeniable proof.

The Celestial Dragon snorted, seemingly mocking.

"How could this be!"

Zoe hurriedly grabbed Li Ang's arm, her red eyes full of panic.

"Was that from being struck by that creature?"

"Master..."

"Brother, why didn't you tell us?"

The other three young girls also hurriedly gathered around.

"That Crimson Demon cast a curse in the end."

Seeing this, Li Ang could only speak the truth.

He explained, "I haven't figured out how to tell you all yet."

"How can you not say something like this? Let's figure out a solution together."

Dorothy complained, water shimmering in her eyes, extremely worried.

"It was fine before; it might have been influenced inside the Saints' Chamber by the Demon Spirit there, triggering the change."

Li Ang said, "Don't worry, since I was able to dispel the curse of the Yunxiang Race, this shouldn't be difficult either."

Of course, he wasn't confident, which was why he hadn't wanted to reveal it; figuring out how to respond to them needed careful thought.

Elaphia withdrew her gaze from Li Ang's elbow, her eyes full of intensity.

With her disposition, if it came to a fight, she would be all in, showing no fear.

She didn't know much about Star Soul matters but, upon hearing that Li Ang seemed connected to this Dragon, she stepped in to assist him in explaining.

The blonde young girl addressed the Giant Dragon in the sky, "He was only affected after encountering a Demon directly not long ago. As the Celestial Team Leader of the Sky Knight Guild, formed to maintain order in the Aerial Realm, I will also engage in discussions with the Knight Resolution Council about dealing with Demons.

"The founder of the Guild also eradicated a Crimson Demon before its establishment and is knowledgeable about it. I pledge on my honor and in the Guild's name that he is not a Demon."

Gregory, standing nearby, added, "The guarantee from the leader of the Order Knight Order carries weight; Holy Dragon, please quell your anger. Perhaps we can discuss this matter later."

"Guild?"

To this, the Thunderstorm Celestial Dragon seemed somewhat disdainful: "In the eyes of my kind, a millennium is but a blink, so what weight does an organization founded merely three hundred years ago hold?"

Elaphia fell silent.

The vibration of her Magic Power made Li Ang somewhat tense.

He seized the topic, "You just said I deceived these children, deliberately bringing them before you. Is there something special about them?"

"Deceiving them to become your servants and gathering them here, do you want to call that a coincidence?" the Thunderstorm Star Soul questioned.

Li Ang replied, "First of all, they are not servants..."

"Indeed, that's correct," Dorothy and Andasu said simultaneously, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
