Crystal Dragon Jacob

Jacob, human form

Jacob, Crystal Dragon, Laura and Paglio's enemy, Ranieri's ally, Demon Overlord.

Chen first meets Jacob in the Crystal Valley. Jacob was naturally immune to magic.

## Appearance

### Human form

Seeing the figure of those maids, he was imagining Jacob to be tall, huge and also... *Urm...*have a heavy taste. However, the Jacob in front of him was thin and even short as compared to Chen Rui. He didn't look handsome either. His skin was somewhat similar to albino patients, and his hair was also white.

What was even more speechless was that this guy was lying in the arms of a maid with naked upper body. He even played with the busty breasts of the maid in front of the two unscrupulously, while the maid uttered an ecstasy moan very cooperatively.

This scene was indeed embarrassing, but the strongest feeling in Chen Rui's heart wasn't embarrassment but astonishment.

Race: N/A (Crystal Dragon). Comprehensive Strength Assessment: Unable to Judge!

Demon Overlord dragon... crystal dragon... Jacob!

When Chen Rui heard Jacob's name just now, he felt faintly familiar. Now, after associating with the information from Analytical Eyes, he finally knew the origin of this thin, short man before him. The Crystal Dragon, Jacob, was one of Paglio's enemies back then!

### Dragon form

Jacob let out a long roar. The talented dragon's might radiated out. His whole body began to change in an instant, revealing his real body. It was a giant dragon of about ten meters in length, with wings on its back. His whole body had a crystal-like appearance which resembled a transparent artwork.

### Age

"Lived for nearly 10,000 years?" Chen Rui was shocked and looked disbelief.

Seeing that expression, Jacob smirked in his heart and smiled, "To be honest, I'm a distinguished dragon. Not to mention 10,000 years, it's not surprising for us to live up to a few 100,000 years.

## Story

### History

The crystal dragon, Jacob, was the nemesis of the fairy dragon, Laura. The fairy dragon was good at every magic, including the dragon magic that Paglio dreaded. Yet, the crystal dragon was exactly her nemesis.

2,000 years ago, to compete for the mysterious silver box, Laura had a grudge with Jacob and the blue dragon Ranieri. Later, Laura joined the poison dragon, Paglio, who was also a rival of Jacob and Ranieri. In the end, Ranieri died while Jacob was seriously injured and escaped from Paglio by luck.

However, under the temptation of the silver box, the stubborn dragon became too greedy. He didn't care about the promise to research together. He attacked Laura sneakily and took the silver box away. However, Paglio didn't end well too. Eventually, a mysterious powerhouse found him, sealed his strength with ancient runes and left him in the Blue Lake for 2000 years.

That was karma.

Chen Rui never thought the one he was facing was actually Paglio's enemy when he was at the peak of Demon Overlord – crystal dragon, Jacob!

*Crystal Valley... crystal dragon?* *No wonder Manu once said that Jacob is the owner of this Crystal Valley.*

### Injury

The injury from Laura and Paglio was the biggest problem that had troubled the crystal dragon for the past 2000 years. As magic and potions weren't ineffective on him, he could only use some special methods to recover. After escaping from death in battle, the crystal dragon was still traumatized. To avoid encountering that terrible opponent again, he had been staying mostly indoor and dare not to get too much attention. However, he didn't know that his enemy had also been trapped for 2000 years.

### Crystal Valley manor

Manu: "Let's go and meet Jacob. Sabrina and Fatilu will stay here for a while. However, I have more important things to do, so I can't stay any longer. Jacob has a weird temper. He is moody, and he isn't easy to get along with, so you better be careful. When you say anything odd, don't say anything about it."

Chen Rui could judge from Manu's tone that there were different factions in the Crystal Valley. Due to the Soul Shackles, Manu had clearly regarded Chen Rui as part of his faction.

Chen Rui followed Manu to a huge manor on a mountainside. There were a lot of crystal guards along the way, but these crystal men were as dumb as puppets, as if they were only active sculptures that posed no danger. However, Chen Rui didn't dare to underestimate these strange life forms. Other than those ordinary crystal men at Demon King-level, there were also mutated crystal men at Great Demon King-level.

These crystal men had powerful strength and stats. If they were taken out, they would definitely be the most terrifying troop. While walking, Chen Rui had already reached the manor unknowingly.

What surprised Chen Rui was that the features in the manor were much more luxurious than what he imagined. The door pillars were carved out of black crystal; the railings were made of topaz; the corridors were inlaid with gemstones. It was just that these luxuries seemed "unsophisticated" as relative to the beautiful scenery outside. It was like an upstart countryman trying to show off his stinky wealth in front of an elegant beauty. He felt an indescribable uneasiness.

*This is obviously the most rustic way of showing off wealth. It's like smiling at someone deliberately just to show his golden teeth.*Chen Rui felt more odd as the more he looked. Then, he recalled Manu's words "don't say anything when you see odd things", and stopped what he was going to say.

The house in this manor was ridiculously big that it could even accommodate a dragon. There weren't many crystal men in the manor. Those that were walking around were female in maid-attire. They almost had the same characteristic. They were big, plump and even... almost muscular.

The maids bowed when they saw Manu. Manu told one of the maids, "Tell Sir Jacob that I brought an important guest to see him."

The maid bowed and walked toward the biggest house. Soon, the maid came back and invited both of them to enter.

The facilities in the room could only be described as more luxurious and rustic. It was simply sleeping in piles of money. To be honest, if the golden bed that Jacob was lying on now was made of real gold crystal, it was indeed similar to sleeping on piles of money.

### Volume 5

"The powerhouse is thin with white hair, but his strength is unfathomable. It is completely impossible for me with Demon King-level strength to resist him. Just a look in his eyes oppressed me and made me unable to move. He is currently in special training. You must be careful, if you are discovered, it will be over." Rummenigge's words also reminded this "ally" who came to his rescue. "If you are not confident, you must return and report to Crawford as soon as possible."

Rummenigge actually knew very well that although the powerhouse said that he would be released when the work was completed, his fate by then was only to be killed. Now this person who had been sent here was his only hope of getting out, so they must be careful.

However, Rummenigge didn't know that even if Crawford himself came here, it was still useless. That powerhouse was a powerful dragon at the peak stage of the Demon Overlord level strength!

When Chen Rui heard the appearance of the powerhouse, he was even more sure that it was the crystal dragon Jacob! The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. I didn't expect Jacob actually did a surprise comeback after being defeated.

### Recovery

The days of injury upon injury were naturally very unpleasurable. The crystal dragon's physique was special and couldn't use potions. He could only rely on the Fountain of Resurrection, the power of the crystal ore and the ancient runes stone slab to slowly recover. He was severely injured by the enemy 2,000 years ago. Just as his injury was about to heal, he was severely injured once again. The Fountain of Resurrection disappeared and the ancient runes slab was stolen. He was even forced to give up the Crystal Valley which he had managed for 2,000 years. The worst part was that he met the strongest woman in the Demon Realm at that time. He was actually defeated and fled despite fighting 3 vs 1. What's more, his injuries were even more serious.

As dragons, the odd-tempered crystal dragon had always been arrogant and unkind. His interpersonal relationship in Bloodfall had been awful. When Jacob lost his base this time, he didn't want to be like Azgalor, teaming up with those whom he disdained. Hence, he secretly came back. One reason was to use the power of crystal ore to heal his body, and the other was to gather the crystal ores madly. He used the transmission magic circle to transfer these wealth to his treasure hiding place.

Even if things were exposed and he had to leave, he could also use the massive crystal ores collected to treat his injuries in another place. It was a pity that after losing the ancient runes slab and Fountain of Resurrection, the progress of his injury recovery had been much slower. He did not know how long it would take to fully heal.

## Skills

### Crystal Territory

The crystal dragon shook his scales, and countless crystal pillars appeared in Black Phoenix Territory. From a distance, it seemed like heavenly pillars that connected the black flame between the sky and the ground. This was his Crystal Territory.

This kind of crystal pillars seemed to have the special power of space and refraction. The black flames refracted when they hit the crystal pillars. This caused a trace of gap to appear in the territory which originally enveloped the whole space.

Although his [Crystal Territory] claimed to break through all the magical elements, this territory was not supported by the power of the element.

### Crystal Breath

Crystal dragon breathed out dragon breath successively to Christina. This dragon breath was transparent. It contained the power of crystallization and destruction. If one was dipped in it, he would solidify into crystals and explode. Even Christina didn't dare to take it head on.

## Relationships

If the person that the crystal dragon hated most was the Master "Arthur" who cheated him and stole the Fountain of Resurrection as well as the ancient runes slab, then the person he was most afraid of was the poison dragon Paglio who severely afflicted him on 2,000 years ago. His fear of Paglio was even more powerful than of Catherine the Great.

## Trivia

* Jacob flew into the night sky with a tap of his feet. His flying ability was slightly better than Paglio; it was the main reason why he could escape back then.
