Chapter Eighty-Eight: Dragon, Dragon, Dragon...

"Are you crazy? You guys clearly have the advantage. Just because I might have a trump card to save my life, you're willing to back down?" Loya was shocked by Luvica's words.

Logically speaking, these evil dragons shouldn't be so easy to talk to, even inviting him to share the spoils of the human kingdom.

Loya felt confused, yet also somewhat uneasy.

This illogical behavior made him feel that Luvica had some unclear conspiracy and was plotting against him.

Luvica nodded and explained, “We certainly have a huge advantage against you alone; you can’t possibly win. But the war with humans in the future is a different story. Humans are very powerful, and targeting one kingdom could attract the encirclement and suppression of more human nations in a short period of time. Even some self-important, self-righteous alien races might help humans fight against us evil ones. For example, the most famous benevolent dragons: the Golden Dragons, the Silver Dragons… Therefore, I need more and stronger allies to share the pressure. Your firepower is barely comparable to a level one or two ordinary legend, and with teleportation, even a level four or five legend wouldn’t be able to kill you instantly. You are qualified to be my ally.”

Hearing this, Loya wasn't entirely convinced, but he didn't intend to refuse either. Because Luvica's words made a lot of sense, he seemed to be persuaded.

"Luvika, what are you two talking about? Didn't I tell you to kill him?" Sofia finally rushed up, annoyed to see Luvika and Loya chatting peacefully.

Sophia unleashed her innate bloodline skill, [Emerald Dragon Breath], with a beam of green light that shot straight at Loya.

Loya teleported and dodged. He silently appeared behind Sophia.

With his innate bloodline skill [Heat Breath], Loya opened his mouth and unleashed a beam of light.

Sophia sensed danger and quickly raised her dragon wings to shield herself.

"Pfft!" A large hole was torn in the dragon's wing.

Sophia swung her dragon tail up.

"Bang!" The air exploded.

Loya only felt a flash before his eyes before the dragon's tail appeared in front of him and lashed his chest.

[Teleport], Loya quickly disappeared, reappearing dozens of meters away. But his chest was still damaged.

If he didn't possess the power of elemental transformation that grants him immortality, that tail strike would have definitely left him half-dead.

This is the consequence of a huge difference in strength. Even with a powerful skill like teleportation, Sophia couldn't be completely helpless.

"Enough." Luweika's dragon might expanded, intimidating Loya and Sophia.

Sofia looked at Luvica in shock, "You won't help me, and you're even stopping me? Is this little dragon cub your long-lost illegitimate child?"

Loya's dragon face became strange.

Luvica quickly shook his head: "I've never touched Red Dragon. You're my only woman. Don't overthink it."

He reassured Sophia, "The war is about to begin, and we don't need to drive away a dragon comparable to a legend for the sake of a few weak masters. So, I've decided to invite him to join us."

Sofia still couldn't accept it. "It doesn't matter whether he's here or not, I just want to vent my anger."

Luvika was starting to get a headache, feeling that Sofia was being quite unreasonable. However, he still continued to persuade her: "Sofia, the bigger picture is important. This is just a small matter. At worst, we can have this red dragon compensate you and apologize to you."

Hearing this, Sophia's attitude visibly relaxed: "The snake that was just killed was barely comparable to a legend. He didn't even give me face, so this can still be considered something comparable to a legend. Therefore, he has to give me wealth worth two level one legends."

Loya was dumbfounded, feeling that Sophia was going too far; this was simply outrageous.

Luvika didn't care about any of that and said directly, "Okay, then let's do it this way."

Loya was conflicted upon hearing this. But after thinking for a few seconds, he didn't refuse.

Because if he were to force his way out, the losses would be enormous. For example, his elite family members are very valuable. In the future, some of them will definitely become legends.

At the same time, his inscriptions will also suffer significant damage, and these things are quite valuable to Loya. After all, even the cost of the materials alone is considerable.

“Ahem, I don’t have that much money right now, so I’ll have to wait. However, the Centipede People tribe still owes me 500,000 gold coins, which can offset a small portion of that.” Loya coughed awkwardly.

To his shame, his career was just beginning, and he had only recently been reborn, which meant he didn't have time to accumulate much wealth.

Therefore, he was unable to pay the compensation immediately.

Sofia's expression turned dangerous again: "I'll give you a chance to rephrase your words."

Loya bowed slightly: "Give me some time. I'm sure I'll gain a lot of wealth in the upcoming war, and then I'll return it to you."

Sophia: "Swear to the Dragon Mother Goddess and give me your assurance."

Loya remained silent, preparing to flee again. Swearing an oath was absolutely out of the question. His earlier words were merely an excuse to buy time; his true objective was to increase his strength in the upcoming war, so he wouldn't have to fear Sofia and Luvica. That way, instead of getting money from them, he'd have to rob these two "cheap parents" instead.

Seeing Loya's reaction, Luvica didn't help Sophia. Instead, he continued to persuade her, "Let's leave it at that. There's no need for oaths. We should all trust each other."

Sofia rolled her eyes: "You're too good to him."

After saying that, she turned and left.

"Thank you for your help." Loya was somewhat grateful to Luvica, and he secretly resolved to be gentler with Luvica when he wanted to take revenge in the future.

"You're welcome. Sofia was just angry and not thinking rationally. She'll be fine once she calms down." Luwicka didn't take credit for anything.

These words wiped away Loya's gratitude. He decided that in the future, when he sought revenge, he would show no mercy.

He's just that kind of genuine dragon.

They didn't linger and flew back side by side.

"It seems I don't have to die." Int was very moved.

He had just felt truly desperate. If Loya had really escaped, or been killed by Sofia and Luvica, then his weak retinue, even if not directly annihilated, might have been used as cannon fodder and ostracized by the many monsters around them.

The centipede tribe, in particular, will definitely target them relentlessly in the future, causing them to suffer a terrible fate.

"Now, all of you better wait patiently and don't cause me any trouble. After all, you're not like that red dragon cub who can survive under my watch." Sophia floated high in the sky, looking down at the monsters.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Don't worry."

“We have always been obedient.”

...

Whether they were masters or weak Iron-level monsters, they all nodded vigorously, assuring each other that they would not disobey.

Zaren, sitting in Emerald Lake, was filled with grief and indignation. He never expected that Loya and Sophia would reconcile after fighting for so long.

"What should I do? Will Roloroa really be so magnanimous as to forgive my offense? Should I withdraw from this war?" Zaren shrank back into the water, worried.

Many merfolk have appeared in his vicinity.

These murlocs were quite perceptive; they didn't attack Zaren.

On the contrary, they were all filled with awe.

Some clever merfolk even brought aquatic products and approached, hoping to curry favor with Zalun and get some benefits.

"Get lost." Zaren wasn't in the mood to play with the murlocs; he was annoyed.

The presence of these mermen was making him very annoyed.

If these fishmen hadn't had some connection with Sophia, he would have definitely taken them all.

...

“Come with us to the island and wait. This is not a place for a noble red dragon like you to stoop to,” Luwicka said to Loya.

"Oh, that works too." Loya didn't refuse. He hadn't been home in a long time either, so he'd consider this a nostalgic return. He probably wouldn't be able to come back again in the future.

At the same time, after the battle ended, he temporarily canceled the [Witchcraft Inscription Array]. His body returned to its original size of over ten meters.

"Inter, Monrent, you two just stay here and wait," Loya said telepathically to his family members.

They still won't refute it.

“Don’t resist,” Luwicka said again.

Spatial Magic: Mass Teleportation

With a "boom," a white light appeared, enveloping the three giant dragons, Loya, Luvika, and Sofia.

Immediately afterwards, space distorted, and the three of them vanished into thin air.

"Phew, they're finally gone." The monsters that were still there breathed a sigh of relief.

Enduring the might of three dragons at once must have been a real ordeal for them.

The dragon might of Luvica and Sofia, in particular, was extremely domineering and terrifying, forcing them to maintain constant physical and mental alertness. Otherwise, they might, like the initial weaklings, be so intimidated that their eyes rolled back and they fainted.

...

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the center of Emerald Lake Island.

The old home that Loya still missed is long gone.

This place is now a large, flattened hill, on which sit several enormous green wooden palaces.

This is Sofia's new home.

"Wow." Loya looked at the largest palace in surprise. He wasn't surprised by the appearance of the palace.

He only sensed a completely different dragon's might within it, which was faintly visible.

"Haha, you're finally back."

A loud, rough laugh came from inside the main hall.

Loya's double pupils flickered, piercing through the layers of separation.

Inside the main hall, all sorts of delicacies were laid out on the ground, where a strange dragon with two heads was eating and drinking.

This dragon is very strong; Loya feels he can't beat it.

However, the other party is naturally no match for Sofia.

He was also surprised, not expecting Sophia to be so cautious, secretly bringing together so many legendary adult dragons.

"This battle is not just about dealing with the Kingdom of Philar, because the Kingdom of Philar is not worthy of Sophia deploying this force. So what exactly does Sophia want to do? Or rather, who is her real target?" Loya pondered these questions.

“This is Radesky, a legendary level three mutant dragon,” Luwicka introduced the two-headed dragon to Loya.

"Oh. I'm Roloroya." Roloroya introduced himself after hearing this.

Luwicka: "We don't need to introduce ourselves, you should already know."

Sofia took a step and walked into the hall.

However, as she passed Loya, she paused for a moment.

Now that they were so close, Sofia, like Luvika, felt a sudden surge of connection in their blood.

Yes, there is a blood connection between powerful dragons and their relatives. When they meet, their blood ties may be triggered, resulting in a subtle yet wondrous sensation.

Sophia was angry and not calm, which prevented her from noticing immediately.

Now that she's calmed down, she does have some sense of it.

"A red dragon?" Sophia was shocked, but quickly dismissed it. "I must have made a mistake."

Actually, even if they were relatives, she wouldn't care.

Because she was willing to hurt even her own children.

Blood ties are like air—completely dispensable.

She kept walking.

Luvika and Loya followed them inside.

"Such a weak red dragon? Does such a creature even deserve to be here?" Radesky was surprised and indignant when he saw Loya.

A strong sense of malice leaked out.

Loya had a feeling he was about to be killed.

"Don't bring up my rank; it doesn't reflect my strength." Loya didn't back down and answered quite forcefully.
