'Another fake…'

Unlike last time when I browsed through sprout's memory, I couldn't perceive deep memories from the demon's point of view, it was merely snippets of memories that weren't even real.

Time passed slowly within the mind space, so not much of it was wasted, but filtering the memories that were barely viewable wasn't an easy matter, especially since staying in this chaotic mind space quickly depleted my mental energy.

'Oh, this one seems real.'

Finally chancing upon a random memory of the demon speaking to another demon, I quickly captured that part of the memory and started analyzing it.

Although the content of the memory was nothing but some useless chatter about their 'sacred purpose', the important point was that it was authentic, at least according to my senses, making it a critical link to my target.

Despite being only visible in front of mental energy, a very thin thread could be noticed coming out from it, extending till it reached another pile of mixed memories.

'Another one!'

Guided by the thin thread, I was able to disregard fake memories and reach the one connected to it. Unfortunately, it was another dud.

'As expected…'

Repeating the same method a dozen times or so, I only found irrelevant memories or ones that were too blurry to perceive, the fact that every one of them was nothing but a fragment didn't help either.

However…

'This is…?'

After parsing through the 22nd memory fragment that I found, I discovered that the thread started thickening as it led me to my next target, this obviously had great meaning.

'It's a recent memory!'

Even though I could only be considered a newbie when it came to mind research, with this being my second case of mind-reading, my mental energy was acting like an automatic translator, giving me guidance similar to that of a veteran researcher.

Reaching out to the slightly bright memory after salvaging it from the pile of 'rubbish' that it was hidden in, I was even more surprised by my discovery.

'This isn't just recent…'

Not only was the memory stable and more complete, but it was also yet to get contaminated by the influence that created the fake memories. The only problem that this memory had was that it was strictly vocal, there was nothing to be seen, only words to be heard.

'Eh?'

[[Take one of the new recruits who had enmity towards that worm Clan with you and head to their stronghold. There is a real scum of that hateful immortal worm race still hiding there, draw him out and throw him into the Sacred Space so he can serve his rightful owners.]]

'Worm… Dragon Clan?'

The voice spoke in a disgusted manner as he seemed to speak about the demon's latest escapade, it was just that some parts were altered when it came to the actual meaning of it.

Nonetheless, the meaning of this voice message held quite a heavy weight. Even if one wasn't too bright, they could infer that the 'hateful immortal worm race' meant the Dragon Race, and that obviously wasn't describing the 'humanoid lesser dragons' that named themselves the Dragon Clan, the emphasis on this point was clear.

'Could it be that the Green Dragon is actually hiding within the Dragon Clan…?'

Thoughts flew into my head as I started pondering. The Green Dragon's situation was indeed quite abnormal. Otherwise, I wouldn't have managed to find quite an amount of his 'essence' in the Draconic Book that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Considering the abilities of Dragons at their peak, it wouldn't seem impossible to perform spatial travel with the help of their ancestor. It just so happened that this ancestor didn't bother to tell me much despite meeting him very recently, with the starter of the meeting being the 'essence' itself. As such, I couldn't authenticate my guess even if I wanted to. 

'Or is a Dragon that's an original resident of the Fire Domain?'

Regardless of the fact that the Dragon Clan was part of the Green Dragon's bloodline, they were still part of the Dragon Race even if by very little. It wouldn't be too strange for them to hide a targeted dragon other than the Green Dragon.

However, this guess was immediately sent to the back of my mind. The chance of it being the Green Dragon was much higher, that was especially so considering the special location of the Dragon Clan's Stronghold.

Vegetation was a main attribute of the Green Dragon, and that was greatly emphasized around the Dragon Clan's Stronghold. Unless this was an everlasting effect that was in place since old, there were little odds of the hiding dragon being someone other than the Green Dragon himself.

'It seems that I need to seek out more information once I get out of here…'

Ending my analysis session, I continued browsing around the mind of the demon. Before I knew it, there were no memories left other than one big pile of 'rubbish'.

'Only one intact memory after a complete browsing…'

Feeling slightly disappointed by the result of my effort, I comforted myself with the fact that I already obtained some valuable information.

Despite the fact that there was only one intact recent memory, it had quite a bit of value. Knowing that the demons were directly hostile towards the Dragon Race had an important meaning to it. We could now be considered as brothers on the same blacklist!

Furthermore, before the demon was turned into an idiot, his carelessness had allowed me to know one of the reasons I was being targeted for. So, I decided to be satisfied with the outcome for now.

'I already gained more than enough from entering this space.'

Retracting my mental energy from the demon's mind space, I grabbed him by his collar as I used 'Telekinesis' to grab hold of the glowing crystal ball, it was finally time to leave.

Crunch!

As I turned the crystal ball into pieces, I could feel myself being enveloped by something familiar, though I felt more hate than fondness towards it…

Just as my mind started to grow hazy, a system notification rang out in my mind before everything went silent!
