The Red Dragon Just Wants To Do As It Pleases-Chapter 39 - 38: Envy
Chapter 39: Chapter 38: Envy
Is this worthy of a Drow?
At the same time, he finally understood why there was a saying that male Drows do not live to see their coming-of-age ceremony.
With a face like that, a body like that, and an extraordinary charm that even made him, a dragon, develop a liking—hell, if she were female, he could play with her for a year when he had nothing else to do during his youth.
Arrogance
He casually threw the male Drow next to Hiatt, arranging them side-by-side, then David remembered the other High Elf he had captured.
And finding her was simple.
David pulled out the Soul Prism from a crevice in his chest scales, and the Mana Energy at his fingertips trembled and burst forth.
Hiatt, who had already passed out on the ground, immediately sprang up, spat out a jet of water, and greeted with an unnatural expression, "Master, what are your commands?"
"AHH!!" Accompanied by a scream that invited wild thoughts, Yevgeny, half-buried in the sand like a corpse, sat up in the throes of her second brush with death, only to suddenly feel her damp clothes.
Seeing the shipwrecks strewn all over the coast and her kin who were dead or captured because of her, and realizing that she, the culprit, could only be defiled and toyed with by the dragon, she was immediately overwhelmed with grief. With a devastated expression, she choked out, "Gulp... Just kill me."
Immediately, a Drow who had hurried over knocked her out with a leg whip and then dragged her toward the shore like a dead dog.
"Sister Hiatt, let me help you."
David initially thought this male Drow couldn’t bear to see the High Elf treated this way, but who knew his so-called help was merely to grab Yevgeny’s other leg.
He really was helping...
But when the High Elf’s legs were spread apart like that, accidents were bound to happen, such as hitting a protruding rock or something...
At that moment, David felt as if he could hear the sound of an oyster being shucked.
He couldn’t bear to watch directly, yet a morbid amusement crept in. As expected of Drow, he thought.
If they were really as unblemished as those emerging from mud without a stain, pure and naive, as some novels describe, they would have been ruined by those spider-like Drow sisters long before their coming-of-age ceremony, let alone showing any secondary sexual characteristics.
While David was directing his dragon sister and two Drows to tie up the High Elves according to the badges of office on their chests, a shadow of destruction enveloped in a wild wind thunderously landed on the ground.
The beach, just hit by a tsunami, seemed to erupt as if struck by a magnitude seven earthquake. The High Elf prisoners, who had been laid out neatly by David and his sister, were tossed into the air like shrimp in hot oil, landing in disarray and twitching uncontrollably.
David turned around to see the unequivocally annoyed Dragon Mother Pafila arriving.
This legendary Red Dragon, constantly spewing sparks from her mouth, surveyed the calm sea surface and asked, somewhat dissatisfied, "Hmm? Where are those Elves? I must feed all those white-skinned Goblins to the fish today!"
She struck a pose like a top enforcer in a gang, ready to tear up the entire street.
"..." David and Tania fell into a profoundly disturbing silence, exchanging glances.
But at that moment, Pafila, nearly blinded by rage, couldn’t help but understand the situation after seeing the pile of High Elf prisoners scattered all over.
She was also astonished by the natural force of the volcanic eruption.
That destructive power is probably comparable to that of some Demigods...
Despite the stifling frustration of her Dragon Breath hitting nothing but air, a part of her was also aware that this was likely the first time she had truly displayed her power before these unfilial children. And considering the volcanic eruption was indeed triggered by her violent Magic Power, she forced herself to maintain an angry demeanor and grumbled, "What? They’re all dead already? I haven’t even had my fun yet! Damn it!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Then, glancing at David, she said, "They’ve lost so many; the Elves probably won’t dare to bother you for a while. Grow up fast, make lots of money. Your mom is going back to sleep."
"Mother is mighty! Have a good rest, Mother," David quickly flattered her like an underling fawning over a mob boss.
"Oh, this is for you."
Dragon Mother turned around and tossed the ring, traded from Scales of Evil for a ’blessing’, to a somewhat astonished David, saying, "I don’t yet know what it’s for, but you should study it. It’s probably something good."
"...Thank you... Mom," David looked at Dragon Mother’s retreating figure and awkwardly thanked her.
Despite her heart bleeding, Pafila could only pretend not to care and casually flicked her tail, saying, "Tania, make me a bedtime snack. I’m a little hungry after stepping out."
"Okay! Coming right up, Mom!"
Tania winked at David and then scampered after Dragon Mother towards the gradually settling Katjana volcano.
Watching Tania’s departing figure, David felt a twinge of envy. He thought about how she, a Silver Dragon, could run into such a Red Dragon Mother whose motherliness was off the charts—a rarity even in the entire Multiverse. Reflecting on his own pathetic plight over the past five years trying to escape the nightmare, he suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of envy.
Power of Jealousy
"Damn it! Why am I feeling envious! Envy my ass!" David immediately became upset.
Wrath
It instinctively felt like a violation of the brother-sister relationship he had with Tania.
Jealousy
"...Alright, I’m envious. So what? There’s nothing wrong with admitting it," David nonchalantly flicked his tail.
Envy, jealousy, and hatred often appear together and are easily confused. And people naturally tend to instinctively loathe, avoid, and feel ashamed to admit their ’ugly’ side, with envy being particularly distorting to one’s character.
He wasn’t the same young man from his previous life who couldn’t face his true self.
In his view, sometimes envy wasn’t purely a bad thing. It was an instinct embedded in biological genes, a potential to anchor a target and thereby motivate oneself to strive, improve, and catch up. Sometimes, facing one’s true self, accepting all of oneself, is often the beginning of the path to strength. And his Silver Dragon sister, aside from her heaven-defying luck and good birth, still had many qualities worthy of his learning.
With this thought, David’s previously annoyed mind suddenly became clear.
"Wait! If the Power of Jealousy manifested for the first time, it wouldn’t affect Tania, would it?"
A worried David muttered to himself. He was preparing to fly back to the lair to check on Tania’s safety when he suddenly noticed his voice getting thinner and thinner, as if Tania herself was whimpering in his ear.
Glancing at his reflection in the sea with a bewildered expression, David’s vision went dark.
He, who had once been a mightily built Red Dragon, was now shrinking like a chameleon mastering a bone-shrinking technique. His fiery red scales had rapidly turned into a blinding, morning-star-like silver-white, and even his wild dragon horns had become much more delicate and gentle.
Under his own Power of Jealousy, had he turned from a Red Dragon into a Silver Dragon? No! He had directly transformed into his sister Tania!!! I told you to catch up, not to become her in one go, damn it!
Wait! David suddenly thought of an even more terrifying possibility.
He turned to glance at the Drow siblings still tormenting the captive High Elves, took a deep breath, slowly bent his neck, and stealthily peeked at his own cloaca, then involuntarily opened his mouth wide.
After a while, a delicate, girlish scream that would evoke pity even from a dragon echoed from the coast: "AHHH AHH AHH AHH AH!"
