Chapter 177: Thirst for Blood; The Arrival of the Black Dragon Lady (8k)

Under the thundercloud and rainstorm, the Barbarian King was suspended in mid-air, staring indifferently below.

The fingertips stretched out, a streak of blood condensed, and then flew through the air.

The target was none other than Mundo.

Mondo, who instinctively sensed fatal danger, subconsciously raised his head and blocked his head with his thick arms.

At the same moment, the earth cracked open, and a majestic stone wall blocked Mondo. Under the stone wall, a gray-brown giant beast that looked like a rugged stone mountain came out.

The blood light effortlessly penetrated the thick stone wall, and then hit the gray-brown giant beast, breaking open the special solid stone armor on the beast's body, and penetrated several meters into it, before the blood light dissipated.

Mondo lowered his arm on his head, looked at the rock dragon Parker standing in front of him, and smiled.

"Thank you, Parker, for saving Mondo."

The rock dragon Pakgiotis was the first high-level thug that Udi deceived many years ago to prevent his base camp from being invaded after Udi left the nest, but this has not happened in these years.

Except for being sent on a mission to the border of the Principality of Kas, Parker spent most of his time sleeping underground. When he was hungry, he would eat underground rocks and metals. With the talent of the rock dragon in prospecting, he could eat some high-quality food from time to time. High-quality metal, so the growth rate is not slower than other core relatives of Black Wing Lair.

Before coming to Black Wing Lair, Parker's biological level was close to level 18. Over the years, it had already reached the peak of level 19.

As one of the top sub-dragon races, the ordinary rock dragon is not much weaker than the white dragon. Especially in terms of defense, it surpasses most true dragons. After the upper limit of the power of the void is increased, Parker is already on par with ordinary rock dragons. Dragon is very different.

Even if an ordinary rock dragon reaches an extremely old age, if it does not break through the legend, its size will only reach forty meters at most. However, Parker, who has just entered old age, has not broken through the legend, but his size has exceeded fifty meters.

The huge size gives stronger and more energy, and the strength, defense, resistance, etc. are greatly improved.

"It hurts a bit." Rock Dragon Parker muttered, then glanced at Mondo behind him and hummed,

"In order to save you, a big green-skinned person, I suffered serious injuries. You have to make it up to me."

As the rock dragon spoke, the large hole in the dragon's body that was broken by the blood light quietly recovered.

Mondo was about to speak when he suddenly sensed danger coming from the sky again.

High in the sky, Victor's eyelids twitched as he looked at the giant rock dragon that suddenly emerged from the earth to block his attack.

His attack looked ordinary, but it was an attack formed by condensing the blood energy of the second level. There was a gap of tens to hundreds of times compared with the energy level below the legend.

Even a creature with pseudo-legendary strength would be destroyed by the blood light and die if it received this blow. However, this giant rock dragon acted as if nothing was wrong. There was a high probability that there was only one possibility.

"Legendary rock dragon?" Victor narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that in addition to the black dragon lord, there were legendary monsters in the Black Wing Lair.

Looking around calmly, Victor found that the Black Dragon Lord still hadn't appeared. Victor's heart tightened, and he stretched out a palm with no expression on his face, aiming at the giant rock dragon below.

The huge bloody handprint condensed out of thin air and swelled in the wind, trying to grab the giant rock dragon.

Below, Rock Dragon Parker's expression also became serious.

The invisible spiritual energy began to shrink from the dragon's body, and finally it all converged on the thick dragon tail, and it was fiercely drawn towards the huge bloody handprint descending from the sky.

Amidst the roar, the giant rock dragon couldn't stop retreating, and its thick dragon tail was dripping with blood. On the other hand, the huge bloody handprint was still clearly visible, and its power was endless.

"It's a bit weak, this legendary rock dragon." Victor saw that he had beaten this legendary rock dragon into a state of disarray without using much force, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.

He didn't think about it. This rock dragon was not a legend, but only the peak of level 19.

After all, it is difficult for many real dragons to have pseudo-legendary combat power at level 19, let alone have even more exaggerated legendary combat power at level 19?

If it is a level 19 silver dragon and the caster profession has also been trained to level 19, it is almost enough to say that it has legendary combat power.

"It consumes a lot of spiritual energy. The training time is too short."

Down below, Parker groaned and thought. Without the special psychic profession bestowed by the Black Dragon Lord, how could it withstand such a terrifying attack?

Without psychic powers, it would just have pseudo-legendary combat power, not much stronger than that Cyclops.

But the time for spiritual cultivation is too short, a few years, and the amount is too small. After it is exhausted in this way, it will probably be easily killed by the barbarian king.

but

"So, when will the lord come? It's time to come, right? He's not watching a show, right?" Parker began to think in his mind.

Its relationship with Udi is not a pure servant-servant relationship. In terms of relationship, it and Udi tend to be more like a relationship between friends, with mutual respect.

For Oudi, the old guy Parker is the pendulum dragon of the territory. He eats and waits for death every day. Even if his life span is approaching the upper limit day by day while sleeping, he is not worried at all.

In the midst of his thoughts, the huge bloody handprint struck again. When Parker saw this, he secretly complained in his heart.

If I had known I wouldn't be able to wake up from my sleep.

Boring.

A huge and ferocious dragon claw stretched out from the space door, grabbed the bloody handprint, and allowed it to struggle and crush it.

Then, a huge black dragon with a body length of seventy meters stepped out of the space door and looked at the rock dragon Parker.

"You look quite miserable." Black Dragon couldn't help but tutted as he saw blood spurting out from all over the rock dragon's body.

"Why do I think you are quite happy?" Yanlong glanced at Heilong and rolled his eyes.

"No, just watching you half-dead every day, thinking that bleeding and getting injured will make Longsheng more youthful." Heilong denied, although the corners of his mouth were already grinning widely.

High in the sky, white thunder crackled across the sky, reflecting Victor with an ugly expression on his face.

After the black dragon appeared, Victor was obviously relieved. He never showed up, which put a lot of pressure on Victor. He was afraid that the black dragon would appear out of nowhere at any time and attack.

But later, when he saw the two dragons chatting directly and completely ignoring him, Victor's face darkened.

This is too disrespectful.

For a strong man of Victor's level, the greatest humiliation is to ignore him.

"Black Dragon."

The Barbarian King murmured to himself, the terrifying legendary energy reaching the second level surging in his body, and the entire set of top-notch suits he wore began to light up with spell lines——

That is a permanent spell engraved on it.

Acceleration, strength, and immunity to negative energy. In an instant, Victor activated the three permanent spells that come with the suit.

Although it is only a top-level suit, the improvement in strength it brings is not much for him, but it is still a point to increase his strength.

A dark red sword appeared in Victor's hand at some point, instilling energy. The dark red sword burst out with an astonishing bloody aura, and at the same time, Victor's strength soared.

Legendary Great Sword - [Red Blade·Thirst for Blood]: A legendary item inherited from the orc Red Blade clan for more than five thousand years. It has the legendary property of [Blood Shadow]. Once this weapon is used, one must drink enough blood, otherwise it will backfire. Owner.

"This kind of power is amazing." Victor felt the sudden surge of power in his body, and his self-confidence greatly increased.

He lowered his head slightly and looked at the Black Dragon who was still chatting. The veins on his forehead popped out and he suddenly roared, "Black Dragon, come up and fight!"

The violent roar broke through the rain curtain and spread throughout the fields. Some weak warriors felt their minds buzzing and subconsciously touched their ears, where blood was already flowing out.

"You scream so loudly because you don't want to die quickly enough."

A low and cold voice came from behind Victor, and faster than the voice was the dragon's tail that was as fast as lightning.

Victor reacted quickly, turned around, and blocked Red Blade Thirsty Blood in front of him.

The diameter of the thick dragon tail was larger than Victor's entire body. When he got closer, his eyes were filled with thick dragon scales, and nothing else.

This dragon tail, in addition to the pure terrifying dragon power, also comes with some spiritual blessing power.

Victor's entire body was whipped into a black and red meteor by the dragon's tail, streaking across the sky and penetrating a 300-foot mountain several kilometers away.

The black dragon looked at the barbarian king who penetrated the mountain, snorted coldly, crossed the portal again, and arrived in front of the mountain in an instant. Without giving the opponent any chance to breathe, he opened the dragon's mouth and spit out extremely cold energy.

A river of frost appeared in the sky, freezing the mountain in an instant.

This is the first-level talent [Frost Power] from the legendary Frost Ghost.

Wu Di had no chance to use it after he obtained it, so he took this opportunity to experiment.

A roar suddenly came from the mountain, and a bloody sword flashed. The three-hundred-foot-high mountain was divided into two parts by the sword light. Amidst the rumbling sound, the barbarian king broke through the dust and carried the blood-thirsty sword. The sword struck Udi.

In response, Wu Di shook his head and said to himself, "Although the alienation talent will increase in power as my strength increases, it is only a first-level talent and is of little use to a legendary second-level powerhouse like the Barbarian King. ”

It is estimated to have a good effect on the strong men of the first level of legend.

You must know that when Wu Di's biological level was only level seventeen, the threat of first-level talents to ordinary legendary powerhouses was almost zero. Now that he can achieve this improvement, it is already extremely exaggerated.

At this time, the Barbarian King was already approaching, and Oudi also sensed some danger from the dark red sword held by this guy.

"Legendary item?" Wu Di narrowed his brown and yellow dragon eyes, and then without dodge, the huge dragon claws fiercely grabbed Victor.

Victor was ecstatic when he saw that the black dragon did not avoid it, but chose to receive his attack forcefully.

"The arrogant black dragon!" Victor took a deep breath, and the energy in his body surged into the blood-thirsty sword. The next moment, the dark red sword trembled violently, and a bloody figure exactly like Victor appeared in front of the black dragon holding the sword. Behind him, indifference slashed down.

Sensing the bloody figure appearing behind him, Wu Di frowned slightly and snorted coldly. The dark magic flame was born out of thin air and quickly condensed into a huge flaming hand, grabbing the bloody figure fiercely.

At the same time, from the front, Victor also slashed hard with his big sword.

The huge dragon claw collided with the sword. To be precise, one of the sharp dragon fingers of the dragon claw collided with the legendary blood-thirsty sword.

A black light glowed on the surface of the sharp dragon finger, and it made the sound of grinding teeth as it collided with the legendary sword.

Seeing that instead of directly cutting off the dragon's claw, Victor was blocked by a dragon finger, Victor looked a little shocked.

How can this be? !

Although the dragon's body is strong, how can it withstand the power of legendary weapons? What's more, it's up to him, a strong man who has reached the second level of the legend, to use it with all his strength? !

In his horror, Victor was not even surprised that the blood shadow and the demonic flame hand perished together.

The sword-holding blood shadow, which looked the same as him, was a legendary feature of the Bloodthirsty Great Sword—spending energy to create a blood shadow with 80% of its own strength.

Of course, because Victor only wanted the blood shadow to distract the black dragon, he did not invest much energy in the blood shadow. After fighting with the demonic flame hand, the energy was consumed and it automatically dissipated.

But logically speaking, the blood shadow with 80% of Victor's strength could not be dispersed so easily, even if the energy was not much.

In the horror of the Barbarian King, the Black Dragon grinned and retracted his dragon claws, trying to crush him directly.

The black light was the legendary black knife from the Four-armed Sword Demon Commander. After spending some time refining it, Wu Di merged it into one of his dragon fingers, acting as a secret trump card.

Now it seems that the effect is still very good.

"Blood Shadow!"

Just when Victor was about to be crushed to death by the dragon claws, he roared, and the dark red sword burst into dazzling light. The next moment, his figure appeared in the air hundreds of meters away, and in the huge dragon claws, there was a blood shadow exactly like Victor.

Blood Shadow struggled, but was ultimately unable to escape the dragon claws, and could only self-destruct.

From the outside, it looked like a heat source firework exploded in the black dragon's claws, gorgeous and dazzling.

The blood shadow self-destruction attack, which was enough to severely injure or even kill a legendary first-level strongman, did not cause any injuries to the black dragon.

The surface of the dragon claws was rippling with black energy, which was the defense provided by the legendary item black knife.

Although the black knife is a weapon, its main function is to increase attack power, and it is not a defensive item like armor, but if it is turned into defense, it also has a defensive ability that exceeds the top armor. This is the power of legendary items.

Coupled with the dragon body strengthened by Wu Di's more than 300 layers of feasts, this can be unscathed in the blood shadow self-destruction.

Wudi looked at Victor who escaped from his dragon claws, and immediately looked at the dark red sword in his hand with some envy.

This legendary weapon feature similar to the clone seems to be very good.

The black knife he got also has a legendary feature [Energy Purification] - the energy infused into the black knife can become more pure.

This legendary feature is quite ordinary, and it also makes this black knife fall into an ordinary legendary item. In terms of value, it must be one level lower than the dark red sword in Victor's hand.

Victor panted and looked at the black dragon opposite, his face was not good.

The strength of this black dragon lord exceeded his imagination.

This strength is not weaker than the black dragon king Bruns who reached the second legendary level in the Crimson Nest.

In Victor's mind, the black dragon lord should only be the first legendary level. Perhaps he has practiced other professions, and with the strong foundation of the black dragon race, his strength will not be worse than the second legendary level of humans.

As for the huge dragon body? Victor naturally thought that such an exaggerated dragon body was a spell that could increase the size in a short period of time. Otherwise, a black dragon of this size must be a high-level legendary black dragon. He is not a spellcaster and is not sensitive to this aspect. If a spellcaster saw the black dragon lord, he would be shocked.

If it was really just this level of strength, it should not be difficult for him to win the opponent with the Red Blade·Thirst for Blood - the Barbarian King is not weak at the second level. With the help of "Thirst for Blood", under normal circumstances, even the legendary first-level red dragon and gold dragon cannot be his opponent, not to mention the black dragon with a worse racial foundation.

"You should have consumed a lot of energy, right?"

The black dragon grinned and said on the opposite side.

Victor tightened the "Thirst for Blood" in his hand, and said coldly without changing his expression, "Maybe."

Wudi narrowed his eyes and felt a little tricky.

He didn't kill this guy with the black knife just now. Now the opponent's vigilance has been raised, and it is impossible to be fooled again.

After the battle just now, his strength is stronger than Victor. If there is no option of running away, only one of them can survive, and the one who survives must be him.

However, the actual situation is that if this guy thinks he can't beat him, he can run away.

Wu Di pretended to glance at the several rings on Victor's fingers.

This guy just entered the battlefield and used the teleportation spell, but the opponent was not a mage, so he must have used legendary items.

"If the teleportation equipment is destroyed, there may be a chance to kill this barbarian king." Wu Di thought about the possibility of this plan.

Without the teleportation equipment, even if the barbarian's pure speed is faster than Wu Di, Wu Di can catch up with the teleportation spell. When this guy runs out of energy and can't escape, he can naturally kill him.

"It's still easier to kill ghosts and monsters." Wu Di muttered.

The strength of ghosts and monsters is basically obtained by developing their own bloodline abilities. The means are relatively simple, so they are naturally easier to kill.

"Lord Black Dragon, I think we can talk."

On the other side, Victor looked at the black dragon with ill intentions, his heart tightened, he struggled for a while, and finally chose to bow his head.

He could indeed escape, but what about the army below?

What about the tens of millions of people in the Barbarian King's Court?

He is a king and needs to be responsible for his country and people.

Wu Di looked at him quietly for a long time, and when the Barbarian King's muscles were tense, he spoke lightly,

"One billion gold coins, and then hand over the big sword in your hand, and this matter will be forgotten. Otherwise, you can run away, but the Barbarian King's Court cannot run away."

After hearing this, Victor took a deep breath and said with some reluctance,

"We, the Barbarian Court, cannot afford one billion gold coins. As for this legendary sword, it is the inherited weapon of the Orc Kingdom. I have a contract with the Red Blade Sword Master. This sword is just for borrowing and cannot be used for other purposes. "

"Do you think this is a negotiation?"

In the sky, a huge black dragon stretched its terrifying dragon wings that were more than 150 meters long. The vast dragon power almost swept across half of the northern part of the wilderness. On the battlefield, both low-level barbarian warriors and master-level barbarian warriors felt palpitations and panic. A shadow casts over the soul.

On the other hand, the Black Wing Familia had almost no impact. Seeing that the enemy's body had become sluggish, they naturally killed him mercilessly. In just the blink of an eye, thousands of warriors in the barbarian army fell to the ground.

The Black Dragon Lord's control over the dragon's power is obviously very fine.

"This is an order!" The black dragon's brown vertical pupils looked at the Barbarian King coldly, showing no dignity at all.

Victor's face continued to tremble under the erosion of Long's power. He noticed that the barbarian army below gradually began to rout. Before, the barbarian army could barely maintain their faith because of the arrival of His Majesty Victor. However, under the erosion of Long's power, no matter how firm they were, Faith is useless.

Every moment, a large number of barbarian warriors fell on the wasteland forever.

The battlefield was filled with the bloodthirsty and fanatical one-sided slaughter of the Black Winged Families.

Seeing this scene, Victor stopped struggling and said tiredly,

"That's enough, stop it. I agree. But I do have a contract with Red Blade Sword Master Taylor. I can't violate the contract witnessed by the gods. If you want to get this 'Thirst for Blood', you have to let the orc sword master Taylor agrees. Of course, if he is killed by you, the contract will naturally be terminated. "

"You Alliance Army is quite interesting." The black dragon smiled jokingly. Seeing that Victor was getting a little anxious, he let out a dragon roar and asked the family members below to stop the slaughter and pursuit.

The remaining surviving barbarian army saw that the terrifying black-winged family members behind them finally stopped pursuing them, and quickly accelerated their escape, wishing they could grow two more legs.

"Then sign the contract." Black Dragon looked at Victor opposite who was relieved and said mockingly.

Victor glanced at the black dragon and hesitated for a moment, but still had no intention of resisting.

At least I can't resist now.

Otherwise, the black dragon could continue to pursue and even invade the territory of the barbarian royal court, and let the group of black-winged relatives slaughter the barbarians wantonly.

We have to stabilize this guy first, Victor thought to himself.

If you want him to give up his 'thirst for blood' just like that, he will naturally be reluctant to give up.

"Okay, sign the contract." Victor nodded while his mind was spinning.

Later, in the presence of the Platinum Dragon God, after paying a high-quality ruby, a contract was signed between one person and one dragon.

The Platinum Dragon God is also a very reputable and respected alien god among humans and other intelligent races, and Victor naturally has no objection to this.

The content of the contract signed by the two parties is roughly as follows: Victor will launch an attack on the Black Dragon Lord with the orc sword master in the next period of time. During the attack, Victor must not have murderous intentions towards the Black Dragon Lord, and the Black Dragon Lord must not kill the Black Dragon Lord. Victor has murderous intentions.

This contract is a trap set by the orc sword master.

Udie and Victor were responsible for putting on a scene.

This does not violate the covenant between Victor and the Orc Sword Master, and the constraints of the covenant are not specific to this point.

Except for some extremely strict contracts, most contracts actually have loopholes that can be exploited. As for how to exploit it, and whether you want to exploit this loophole, it depends on whether you want it and whether you are willing to do it.

Just like the covenant between Black Wing Lair and the Green Forest, Oudi had several ways to break it by exploiting loopholes.

The simplest method is to kill with a borrowed knife - fight with a powerful enemy in the sky above the green forest.

Udi can control his own attacks not to attack the Emerald Forest, but the enemy will not control it. In the end, the Emerald Forest is destroyed, and it is also destroyed by the enemy. Oudi still fights with the enemy, but he cannot protect the forest elves. That's all.

There are other ways to kill with a borrowed knife.

For example, contacting some evil forces that have nothing to do with Black Wing Lair and assigning them the task of acquiring the corpses of forest elves. Since the task does not specify that the forest elves from the Emerald Forest are required, then naturally it does not count as a breach of the covenant.

As for those evil forces who finally chose to kill the forest elves in the Emerald Forest to complete their mission, that has nothing to do with the Black Wing Lair, because this was not ordered by the Black Wing Lair, but the subjective choice of the evil forces themselves.

As an ally, when the Emerald Forest is in danger and asks for help from the Black Wing Nest, according to the covenant, the Black Wing Nest will definitely send support, but support has its own speed, right?

The above operations are actually very common. The contract made by the devil in the Nine Hells can be much more insidious than this.

Talking about the contract signed between Udi and Victor, both parties tacitly agreed not to sign an alliance contract or a truce contract.

Udi didn't bother to think about what Victor was thinking.

Anyway, Udi has made up his mind that the Barbarian Court will either surrender or be destroyed. Naturally, it is impossible to sign any truce contract or alliance contract with Victor.

As for setting a trap for the Orc Sword Master, Oudi never thought that Victor could really obediently give him the legendary sword called 'Thirst for Blood' after the death of the Orc Sword Master, and the two parties did not sign a contract in this regard. , and cannot be signed, because such a contract violates the contract between Victor and the Orc Sword Master.

Udi agreed for two reasons.

One is to delay some time.

Now he is not sure about keeping the Barbarian King, but after a while, that may not be the case.

The second is that he has taken a liking to the orc kingdom.

The territory of the Orc Kingdom is directly north of the Dark Forest, and the straight-line distance is closer than the Barbarian Court to the Orc Kingdom.

However, the Dark Forest and the Orc Kingdom are also separated by the Dwarf Iron Castle and some other small and medium-sized forces (including humans and other intelligent races).

"Now my soul strength should have surpassed that of the first-level legendaries. By then, by enslaving the Orc Sword Master, I will be able to secretly control the entire Orc Kingdom." The Black Dragon Lord thought calmly.

Orcs are a good source of soldiers, and apart from the death of an orc king, the foundation of the orc kingdom has not been weakened much. With the orc king there, the orc kingdom is powerful enough to rank among the top five in the mainland.

There are hundreds of millions of orcs in the entire kingdom. Even if some strong ones died in the war with the Crimson Nest, the remaining master-level orcs definitely exceed three digits.

The population base is here!

Comparing the Barbarian Royal Court with the Orc Kingdom, it is as if the former is a baron from a countryside (Northern Territory) where supplies are scarce, and the latter is also a baron, but is a baron from the royal city (Middle Territory), with rich territory, The warriors are powerful and the population is large, there is no comparison.

After the contract was signed, Victor left here without looking back.

The northern part of the wasteland also became quiet from the previous hustle and bustle.

The strong smell of blood lingers here and cannot be dissipated for a long time.

People are bound to die in war. Although Black Wing Lair won a great victory this time, there were also many casualties.

The casualties among the low-level Blackwing warriors reached 30,000.

More than a thousand for intermediate level.

Advanced dozens.

Of the two masters, one was killed and the other was seriously injured. The one who died was a big goblin who had just reached level 15. This guy was unlucky and was taken away by a dying barbarian general before he died. .

The other person who was seriously injured was a level 16 black tiger monster that had just taken refuge.

As for the barbarians?

There were more than 100,000 low-level barbarians killed and injured, tens of thousands of mid-level and high-level barbarians, and more than a dozen master-level barbarians were killed, including two barbarian generals who had reached the peak of level 19.

This was because Parker was too lazy to kill. This old rock dragon didn't like killing. If it hadn't been for the black dragon lord asking him to come over to check the place and protect Shiji and the others from accidents, it wouldn't have woken up from its slumber.

Wu Di had no idea about this.

In war, strong men with legendary strength can kill creatures below legend, but they cannot deliberately carry out large-scale massacres of those below legend. This is the mainland's default game rule. If everyone does not abide by this game rule, it will be a long time ago. All hell breaks loose.

It is impossible for Udi to guard against a legendary second-level strong man from coming to his territory to cause damage at all times.

The other party killed a group of his family members and then left immediately, and he couldn't catch them.

In the end it can only evolve into a boring game like you kill my family members and I kill your people.

Three days after the war——

Before Oudi could reach Viktor and recruit the orc sword master, an unexpected visitor came to the Black Wing Lair.

Longchi.

An adult female black dragon with a body length of more than 20 meters stepped into this place.

The female dragon is skinny and skinny, with a pair of forward-curved gray dragon horns, dragon scales close to the bones of the dragon's face, thick bones all over its body, and bone spurs piercing the surface. It is domineering and ferocious but also ugly.

Lyanna walked cautiously on the road leading to the center of the dragon pond, feeling a little uneasy.

To be honest, she had never imagined this scene today.

He never thought that he would feel so uneasy when he saw his heir.

But there was no way, she couldn't continue to stay in the wasteland without seeing her again.

She was thinking wildly in her mind, and soon, a giant black-scaled beast appeared in Lyanna's sight.

In front of this black-scaled beast, Lyanna looked so small and thin.

For a moment, the female dragon, who was more than a hundred years old, couldn't help but feel a little suffocated.

"This body shape is not just a mutation, it must be an atavism! An atavistic black dragon!!" The female dragon roared in her heart.

This is not to blame for Lyanna being so rude. She did think that her eldest son would be stronger than he was a few years ago, but it shouldn't be such an exaggeration.

The huge black dragon, half hidden in the mist, opened its brown vertical pupils, lowered its head slightly, looked at the malnourished black dragon below, and grinned,

"My dear mother, you look surprised."

"Isn't this worthy of surprise? Maybe I should report it to the Mother of Dragons and let her see that I have another ancestral black dragon descendant in the star realm."
