Chapter 118: Activation!

Ryan had come across the term "ancient dragon species" in the notes of the deputy leader of their hunting group. Unraveling the mystery of the ancient dragons' migration to this enigmatic island was a key objective of their expedition.

"The end... the origin... all shall be witnessed..." the hermit dragon man murmured cryptically, his voice trailing into silence as he bowed his head again, leaving Ryan pondering the profound enigma shrouding the island's ancient secrets.

"...Unicorn... True Red Horn... Proof of Bravery... Qualification for Witness..."

With these cryptic phrases, the hermit dragon man sealed his lips, ceasing further explanation, and turned to disappear into the deeper shadows of the cavern beyond.

Ryan squinted thoughtfully, parsing the mystic's words. It seemed the island served as a crucible, a "place of witness" and unraveling its deeper mysteries required a certain "witness capital."
