A Dragon against the Whole World-Chapter 112 - 111: Galos: No One Understands Evil Dragons Better Than Me

Chapter 112: Chapter 111: Galos: No One Understands Evil Dragons Better Than Me

The silver moon of the Suren Goddess in the dark blue sky gradually faded, and the glorious sun representing light and life rose slowly from the distant horizon.

With a body covered in scars, the Red Iron Dragon returned to Needleleaf Valley from Quenching Highlands, landing on the ground.

"Galos?!"

Samantha and Vera exclaimed simultaneously, their eyes sweeping over the Red Iron Dragon’s body, seeing the shocking scars all over him.

The bleeding had stopped, but the cracked Dragon Scales, broken dragon horns, and some unnaturally twisted claws all testified to the intensity of the previous battle.

"You are injured, seriously injured."

Never having seen Galos so severely hurt, both dragons felt alarmed.

"This is an acceptable cost."

Galos dismissively waved his claw, saying.

His physique was stronger than ordinary members of the Dragon Race. To Samantha and Vera, the injuries looked severe, but to Galos, they were not yet critical, though close.

"Although the process was somewhat turbulent and difficult, I achieved the final victory."

Galos took out the diamond Crystal Core, displaying it before the two dragons’ eyes.

His nature was steady, but winning this war and defending his territorial foundation made him inevitably pleased and even gave him a little thought of flaunting his loot.

Galos, too, had a vanity belonging to the Dragon Race.

However, during usual times, he would try to suppress such emotions as much as possible.

At this moment, a ray of dawn light shone on Needleleaf Valley, also illuminating the diamond Crystal Core, coating the already radiant diamond Crystal Core with a layer of golden light, making it even more brilliant.

The Elf Dragon and Red Dragon were spellbound, mesmerized by this shiny treasure.

"It’s truly beautiful."

Elf Dragon sincerely praised.

The Red Dragon seemed to have lost its mind, like a puppet, walked toward Galos, reaching out its claw as if wanting to take it, but upon meeting Galos’s gaze, suddenly woke up and awkwardly smiled.

"My dear brother, let me touch it, just one touch."

Samantha pleaded.

Galos opened his mouth and swallowed the diamond Crystal Core, storing it in his stomach space.

His gaze and spirit gradually returned to normal.

Samantha came back to herself, her gaze once again falling on Galos’s scar-covered body, saying, tempted by the loot, "In the war against the Stone Giants, you should take me along, I am a mighty and noble Red Dragon, a born Warrior."

"My claws and teeth can tear apart those stones."

"If I were present, I guarantee you could have won more easily."

In the assault on the Stone Giant Camp, Galos did not take the Red Dragon, or accurately, he did not take any followers from Needleleaf Valley.

Galos’s territory had already changed compared to before.

The pastures, veins, rivers under his command were more than just one location, and he controlled a complete trade route.

The problem was.

How to guard them and continue developing.

Galos clearly knew that with the changing centuries and transitions of years, the era of dragons and giants as colossal beings had long passed, and now smaller life forms, such as humans and elves, dominated the era.

They were numerous, with strong leaders, possessing powerful creativity and potential.

Even for the Dragon Race, the majority could only survive confined to wilderness or the sea, while on the prosperous continent stood the Human Empire, Elf Empire, Dwarf Empire.......not the Dragon Empire.

The Dragon Race was like fallen ’nobility.’

Indulging in the splendor of ancient times, reminiscing past glory, still maintaining an arrogant, conceited demeanor.

And this.

Was also one of the main factors preventing dragons from rising anew.

Failing to recognize the current situation, indulging in self-importance.

If it were the Red Dragon like Samantha, having gained territory of Galos’s current scale, it would undoubtedly swell with arrogance, walk a path disregarding kin, believing itself invincible, then provoke powerful entities leading to its downfall.

Galos constantly battled with the arrogance and conceit inherent in dragon nature.

He clearly knew the more at such times, the less he should relax.

He was not strong enough to ignore risks and act recklessly.

The dangers in the wilderness remained omnipresent.

Perhaps his territory today continued to thrive, tomorrow it might draw the attention of greedy adult Evil Dragons or the Lothern guards, who viewed Evil Dragons as targets for crusade, placing him in an extremely perilous situation.

Therefore.

He always kept an escape route for himself.

For instance, the whole Molten Iron Clan did not know there was another clan of Galos at Needleleaf Valley, and they were also unaware of Galos’s usual whereabouts.

In the eyes of the affiliates of the Molten Iron Clan.

Galos always appeared unpredictably, with secretive, enigmatic movements, never knowing when he might suddenly show up.

If unwisely drawing powerful enemies’ attention someday, and if the Molten Iron Clan gets attacked or investigated, they still could not reveal Galos’s true whereabouts because they, too, had no clue where Galos really was.

"Samantha’s Red Dragon bloodline compels her, making her unsatisfied with a peaceful life; this is a hidden danger."

To the Red Dragon, scars were merit and glory, and with the growth of Red Dragon Samantha, she increasingly yearned for battle, wished to bleed, the usual ant manipulation games were actually to satisfy this psychological need.

"Should Samantha be driven away?"

Galos slightly shook his head.

He was not an entirely ruthless Evil Dragon, the years of companionship had developed some sentiments.

More crucially, Samantha could refine black oil for him.

The black oil Galos drank during battles, after further refining by Samantha, possessed higher quality, rapidly turning into energy upon entry.

Within the Molten Iron Clan, there existed an Ogre Alchemist.

But it only manufactured weapons and armor, using alchemy for enhancement and amplification.

Unless having a large Alchemy Golem, normal biological clans did not require black oil, and alchemists wouldn’t intentionally learn black oil refining skills.

Driving Samantha away, Galos would have to learn alchemy and black oil refining himself.

It was not impossible.

But such repetitive and tedious tasks would disperse his time and energy.

His mages lacked magic and learning talents comparable to dragons, nothing could be counted on them in the short term.

Besides, the Red Dragon couldn’t be allowed to turn into a hazard.

"Galos, I want to fight, want to bleed, rather than stay behind using alchemy!"

Samantha complained.

Galos thought for a moment, then looked at the Red Dragon, asking: "Samantha, do you like fighting?"

The Red Dragon snorted out flames, nodded without hesitation.

"For what?" Galos asked again.

Samantha thought for a moment, then said excitedly: "For glory! To make my name resound in the sky!"

The Red Dragon was arrogant and proud, intensely self-esteemed, with the strongest vanity among Dragons, Samantha’s response was no surprise to Galos.

Galos blinked, suddenly understanding: "So you mean you want to achieve fame that is renowned far and wide."

"Yes, Galos, you understand me well."

Samantha said approvingly.

Of course, though I am not an Evil Dragon, I understand them well.......Galos presented a barely discernable smile, saying: "In that case, you should delve into alchemy more rather than be focused on gaining fame through fighting."

The Red Dragon showed doubtful eyes.

"Galos, are you trying to trick me? I am smart, filled with wisdom, with my own thoughts, won’t fall for your tricks again."

It said.

Galos looked indifferent, asking: "Almost all Red Dragons excel in battle; compared to other Red Dragons, where is your advantage? How do you secure your standing out among the many Red Dragons, remembered, revered?"

Samantha opened her mouth but was speechless.

"Yes, yes, Samantha, what is your advantage?"

Elf Dragon Vera chimed in curiously asking.

Galos stepped forward, patting the Red Dragon Sister’s shoulder, spoke sincerely: "My dear sister, your advantage lies in wisdom, you are the smartest Red Dragon I’ve ever met! Your talent in alchemy amazes me, your wisdom makes me feel small."

On the opposite side.

With each of Galos’s words, Samantha’s head lifted slightly higher, her tail wagged left and right, moving faster.
