The Red Dragon’s stiff body relaxed, its mouth curled slightly, revealing a gruesome set of fangs.
Now this Ogre Giant Demon, as she claimed herself, had truly become the Red Dragon’s slave. The description of binding herself in a cocoon was perfect for the demon’s actions.
Karon hadn’t anticipated that the Ogre Giant Demon would possess such powerful bloodline power. Today’s events served as a reminder: never view others through stereotypes.
The Red Dragon shook its head, feeling somewhat heavy. After devouring a part of the opponent’s soul, it now felt mentally burdened, like a person who has overeaten, with thoughts slowing down.
The retaliating demon lay on the ground twitching, clearly suffering considerable damage from the soul’s counteraction. Her bare toes were taut, nostrils flaring rapidly, and even her body was rigidly stiff.
The Red Dragon paid no attention; although uninjured, the malicious demon truly enraged him. Even if the demon Fafnir had become quite useful to him, the Red Dragon still maliciously declared, "Fafnir, I won’t kill you now, but because of your actions, all Ogres will become the lowest slaves, including you."
Flames flickered between the Red Dragon’s nostrils as he grinned, displaying those gruesome fangs at the progressively calming demon and remarked, "Even future Dragon group beloveds will become masters you Ogres cannot defy. Remember, all Ogres."
"Is it really so amusing to play king in the Wilderness, beautiful Red Dragon?" A voice drifted from afar, yet sounded as clear as if spoken nearby.
Will Clarence stood with a smile at the front, accompanied by a grinning Squinting Mage, stationed on a low hill behind the Ogre Camp. Elite warriors from his family subtly spread out behind him, their exquisitely crafted weapons glimmers threateningly under the sunset.
Mages lingered at the back, staying with Juvenile Dragons that Earth Dragons and Bear Goblins held. Their eyes keenly fixed on the camp below, where the stunning Red Dragon, despite having a wing snapped, captured all the mages’ attention.
Karon’s perception warned him that the group of people not far in front posed a possibly lethal threat. His dispersed perception faintly sensed several potent forces fixating on him, among them was the smiling human, but the most dangerous was the Squinting Mage standing beside him.
He had a strong intuition that any threatening move he made would evoke deadly retaliation, and beyond these hindrances, the warriors following the human leader bore powers similar to the blood-colored gleam on Moergo the Ogre’s horn, though far from the Ogre Tyrant’s strength, all carrying-Extraordinary Power.
In the Icaria World, only through arduous persistence or possessing strong talent could one gather one’s own Seed of Power and enter the Extraordinary Tier.
The stages above Extraordinary Tier One to Tier Five are considered Low Tier, Tier Six to Tier Ten Middle Tier, Tier Eleven to Tier Fifteen High Tier, while Sixteen or above transcends into the Holy Sanctuary, a phase known as hero among some races.
Karon understood humans well, having once been human himself knowing perhaps human individual strength struggled against Giant Dragons, but humanity’s greatest strength lies in their average level. Their unmatched creativity and collective power are unparalleled by other races.
And those mages, the Magic Power surging in each mage’s body was incredibly abundant, and their hands’ Magic Staff emitted a lively Magic Light, locking onto the Red Dragon. Perhaps once the Red Dragon showed any intent of fleeing, endless Magic assaults would ensue; blindly ascending under enemy targeting is exceedingly foolish.
As for his centaur followers, only the most formidable Kali neared the Extraordinary’s edge, perhaps just a round of charge from the warriors opposite would leave all these centaurs on this land.
Of course, crucial in the Red Dragon’s eyes is that Gomot and Akzhi were rescued with great effort, and cannot be lightly abandoned.
Without thinking, the Red Dragon turned, whispered to those like Kali and Zogo guarding before him: "Go, take Gomot and Akzhi far away, do not appear without my exact signal."
Kali gazed deeply at the Giant Dragon, by now the centaurs had become a burden to the Giant Dragon. She knelt lowly saying: "Following your will, Lord Karon, the centaurs will await your return."
Will Clarence paid no heed to the centaurs’ actions, dispatching warriors to intercept centaurs might offer the Red Dragon an opportunity to escape from his grasp.
He murmured to the Squinting Mage beside him: "Xiuse?"
The Squinting Mage Xiuse opened his eyes, revealing a gleam, lightly waved his Magic Staff, silent Spells condensed Magic Power flowing into Will Clarence from above, a faint small array subtly appeared beneath his feet.
Will Clarence’s aura intensified instantly, height increasing slightly, the Seed of Power in him exploded with an extremely fierce Bronze Flame enveloping him, representing the power of the Bronze Certificate, one of humanity’s most orthodox ancient cultivation techniques emulating those Bronze Seeds created by ancient gods.
The Bronze Flame around Will seemed to resonate with similar power, a slight Bronze Flame emerging on the dozens of warriors behind him, flowing indefinitely towards Will.
His aura instantly ascended, shooting from Tier Eleven to Tier Fourteen, faintly touching the Tier Fifteen threshold, his limit.
Will savored the powerful force rampaging in him, somewhat clumsily manipulated the body to briefly rise, step by step on air towards the battle-ready Red Dragon.
He knew Dragons valued strength, thus wanted from the front to defeat the Red Dragon with absolute power, aiming to subdue Karon.
Dragons are innately extraordinary beings, born able to battle a robust adult; gauging a Dragon’s strength by typical tiers is inaccurate, measured by economic stages of True Dragons.
It’s the difference in life’s essence and strength’s depth, often making Mid-tier Extraordinary Warriors extra cautious against Juvenile Dragons, as their strength vastly pales against a Juvenile Dragon’s, though they wield more nimble stature and adept Martial Arts for maneuvering against ordinary Juvenile Dragons, negligence meant death.
The Red Dragon still in the Juvenile stage is stronger than peers of age, even the High Tier Extraordinary Will needed Mage Xiuse to enrich himself with Life Growth and Magic Control Reflection Spells ensuring absolute supremacy, content being a Mage’s Spell experiment, Will relishes it.
Will Clarence, like an elegant noble, landed gently before the Red Dragon, unprecedented power imbued him with confidence.
He locked eyes with the Dragon’s icy vertical pupils saying, "Come with me, Juvenile Dragon, your exceptional talent shouldn’t fade away in this Wilderness, sunk in the illusory and barren strength."
"Explore the world, changing day and night, humanity risen to be Sovereigns, even mighty Dragons merely edge of world survivors, due to Dragons’ ancient heritage fixated on stagnation."
