The spacecraft had finally arrived at the Floating Dragon, a place that constantly moved, so it had no fixed position, like an island in the vast "ocean" of space. It had many stabilizers and accelerators at its base and a translucent sphere covered the entire floating island, maintaining the atmosphere and gravity.
The Floating Dragon Island's construction style was rough. It had a city that resembled a huge dragon spreading its wings when viewed from above and many mechanical excavation devices were fixed to the ground. Drills constantly moved, acquiring the Dragon skeletons from the void beneath the surface, it was a very valuable material and Ames was too lazy to work on it herself, so the extraction process could only be done slowly.
Countless fierce-looking spaceships were docked at the pier, painted with various symbols. All of them belonged to galactic thugs and pirates. A good number of them were notorious, some with a wanted bounty of over 100,000 Enas.
As a neutral territory, it was their preferred type of place, but there was also a certain safety for those who arrived here, because none of them dared to act on the floating Dragon.
As a neutral zone, whether legal or illegal organizations, they could only bow their heads when they arrived here.
The Trihexa landed successfully and after going through the procedures, the Black Spiders took Rick, Trax and some clones to the city. Criminals with cyberpunk appearances could be seen on the streets everywhere.
Any normal person arriving here might not even dare to breathe aloud, being stared at from all sides. Trax was the first to lose his patience, releasing his peak Grade B energy. He growled slightly, causing most to look away in fright.
The rest, who had some strength, glanced at them lightly before ignoring them, here, strength determines whether you are prey or predator.
They might not dare act here easily, but that doesn't mean they couldn't mark them and pursue them after they left. Luckily, they gave up when they sensed Trax's energy, which was clearly strong, but still followed Black Spider.
Of course, battles still took place on the Floating Dragon, the problem was that if the battle injured residents and workers, or damaged the buildings, it would attract the patrols, the dragon's guard, if someone were caught, at the very least they would be sold into slavery, so people usually still respected the rule of not acting impulsively.
But as a lawless zone, there were those who dared to act if the battle was guaranteed to end quickly. In Ringo's clone visions, he saw a future where he got into a fight with the pirates and ended up killing some civilians. Ames herself, who was bored, showed up, but before he could say anything, they were crushed into mincemeat.
Therefore, he didn't dare start a fight easily, so letting Trax act now was a good option.
Black Spider didn't seemed to care, advancing with his head held high, but currently he was on autopilot. The Ringo clone inside him was constantly visualizing possibilities and ways to get closer to Ames.
There was neither sun nor moon in the sky here, only the city lights illuminated the place, making the sky a mixture of darkness and colorful lights of all kinds. The city had no standard plan, the buildings were everywhere, clearly being constructed haphazardly, but judging by the fact that this is Ames's weapon, even if something beautiful were built, it could be destroyed the next day.
Deep within the city of Floating Dragon Island, there were far fewer criminals on the streets, the place was clearly more populated by civilians and the criminals who didn't want to attract the attention of the dragon guards didn't like to approach them.
If there was a fight and someone died randomly, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
In any case, Ringo's clone finally saw something he wanted and Black Spider's steps changed direction, quickly heading towards a metal building with several small flight devices parked there.
They were small compared to spaceships, but they could still carry more than ten dragon guards on patrol.
Black Spider approached as Rick began to get nervous. He didn't know why they were in that place, but he knew the Floating Dragon well, few people in the Shattered Star Ring didn't know him. Getting into trouble there was a problem even he wanted to avoid.
He even kept his canteen in his jacket, fearing that his drunkenness would lead to him being killed without knowing it.
Trax acted as if everything was normal, he didn't know the place well, but even if he did, he would dare point a finger in Ames's face.
Sure, he would die a horrible death, but that didn't fail to show the guts of a Beastman.
As they approached, a group of guards narrowed their eyes, weapons pointed at them. One of them approached with a haughty look. -Who are you?! What do you want here?!
Black Spider stopped as Ringo clone unleashed his Grade A aura, both sides froze in shock.
Rick's eyes widened and he pointed at Black Spider, who was trembling completely. That aura was too oppressive for most and they weren't even the focus of it.
The dragon guards almost shot out of reflex, their bodies trembling with fear.
-T-that's the Floating Dragon! Home of the Dragon Emperor! What do you want to do?!- The man in front seemed to have grown a pimple, but was still trembling slightly.
-I am Black Spider, a mercenary, I came to join the Floating Dragon.- Black Spider said calmly.
The dragon guards were shocked, Rick was shocked, even Trax looked at Black Spider with doubt.
-What?!- the dragon guard, clearly the leader, shouted in surprise.
But the next moment, he swallowed hard. If it were a Super Grade B, he could ignore it, at most, he would help the man create an application form and send it to the manager, Jenny. But a Grade A? That's news to him.
-Can't I?- Black Spider asked.
The other side froze for a moment, but finally, he let out a light cough and spoke. -Okay, I'll notify it.
