Chapter 122 Dragon Family Gathering
The afternoon sun slanted through the coniferous forest at three o'clock, casting tiny golden spots on the surface of the sulfur spring.
Samantha was lazily lying on the warm rocks, stirring the spring water with the tip of her tail, her ruby-like scales shimmering with varying shades of light as the water rippled.
Right before its eyes.
Some small metal toys are having a fierce battle, ping-pong-pong.
The most numerous were humans, whose slender bodies were formed by several metal strips. Then there was a 'red dragon', which was more detailed and looked like it was made from a single piece of metal, with a layer of red paint-like substance on its surface.
Without exception.
They all have tiny alchemical runes on their bodies that provide them with energy, allowing them to move.
Under Samantha's enthusiastic control, the 'Red Dragon' and the 'Human Legion' are locked in fierce combat.
The powerful 'Red Dragon' soared through the sky, sweeping away the lowly and pitiful humans.
The fairy dragon Vera, smeared with gold powder, makes a cameo appearance as a 'golden dragon ally' of the human army.
Whenever the poor human army is on the verge of annihilation and on the verge of collapse...
Then Vera, the 'Golden Dragon', will appear and engage in a fierce battle with the 'Red Dragon'.
This is a recent hobby for both of them.
Since being inspired by Galos last time.
Samantha studied alchemy with even greater seriousness and focus. Although she still couldn't match Garus in terms of diligence, she was no longer like an ordinary red dragon.
At least it will no longer be lazy; it will consciously and autonomously cultivate and pass on knowledge and engage in learning.
In my spare time.
Besides alchemy, it also provides physical exercise.
As the time spent with Galus increased.
Although Samantha was somewhat slow to realize, she gradually came to understand that Galos's strength seemed to come from his relentless, self-torturing training day and night.
That's more than just a hobby.
It cannot achieve the level of Galus.
But simply giving up lazy daily training can make it grow beyond that of an ordinary red dragon.
Ordinary dragons can also improve and grow through training.
Especially for dragons like the Red Dragon, which are known for their physique, their growth rate is not as fast as that of Garus.
in addition.
Samantha's alchemy skills improved to a new level, and she was able to create simple, moving little things.
It gradually became enthusiastic about manipulating these little toys to play games, and despised the fairy dragon Vera's childish behavior of playing with ants.
Not long after.
In exchange for the right to play new games with Samantha, the fairy dragon agreed to address Samantha as the Great Red Dragon Queen every time they met.
"Foolish metal dragon, as a noble dragon, you have allied with humans to fight against your own kind."
Samantha, in a low voice, manipulated the red dragon to slaughter the human army:
"I will show you the terrible consequences of opposing the Red Dragon!"
The fairy dragon Vera shimmered in the sunlight, her body covered in gold dust.
It cast an illusion on itself, and at first glance, it looked exactly like a golden dragon, only much smaller.
"Evil Red Dragon Queen, you have committed countless evil deeds and are extremely wicked."
"I will punish you in the name of justice!"
The fairy dragon also pinched his throat, making his voice sound majestic and powerful, solemnly facing the enemy.
It rammed into the unsuspecting 'Red Dragon' and sent it flying, lying on the ground unable to get up.
At the same time, Samantha's ear twitched slightly.
It heard a sound approaching, so it got distracted.
A familiar sound of wings cutting through the air came from afar, two in total, one in front and one behind.
Samantha was familiar with one of them, and then two dragon scents came on the wind.
Similarly.
Samantha was most familiar with one of them, a scent that smelled like both steel and fire, reminiscent of a fiery king sitting on an iron throne.
The other one is much purer, it's the smell of iron ore, a strong metallic taste.
The smell of rust was somewhat unfamiliar at first.
However, amidst the unfamiliarity, there was also a vague sense of inexplicable familiarity, which puzzled Samantha.
It raised the red dragon's fierce and powerful head and looked up at the sky.
Two dragons came into view.
Soaring ahead, the majestic, powerful black dragon shadow that tore through the clouds was all too familiar to it.
Behind Garros, there was another black dragon shadow, its scales reflecting a dull, iron-gray luster in the sunlight, hard and cold.
"Samantha, look who I've found."
Galos's figure swept past the treetops, the red scales on his wings resembling burning charcoal.
He folded his wings and sat down in front of Samantha.
The other iron dragon landed somewhat unsteadily.
Samantha's eyes narrowed, like a feline seeing a bright light; her pupils became tiny slits, and her eyes showed some surprise: "Sorog?!"
Tie Long's gaze swept over Samantha.
It was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that Samantha would also follow Garros.
Red dragons are the most arrogant of all dragons. They believe themselves to be born rulers, and that the purpose of other creatures at birth is simply to obey their commands and bow down to them.
Red dragons prefer to be solitary rather than gregarious.
If a dragon must live with other dragons, then the red dragon must take the dominant position.
Unless, after certain events or influences, one's temperament undergoes a significant change.
"Samantha, my dear sister, it's been a long time."
Tie Long bared his teeth and grinned.
It noticed Samantha's shiny, flawless scales and agile body, and said, "It seems the wild food is very good; you are much stronger than when you were young."
Upon hearing this...
Samantha couldn't help but recall the words Tielong had used to belittle her when she was only one year old.
“Samantha! My foolish and frail sister, a weak red dragon like you will never live past your youth. Submit to the great Iron King, and I will lead you to the top of the wilderness.”
The red dragon spewed out red-hot sparks from its nostrils.
It stretched out its claw and poked its brother's damaged wing membrane, its gaze sweeping over the body that was somewhat swollen from the injury, and sneered mockingly.
"Yes, the food in the wilderness is very good—you've gotten so fat you can't fly anymore."
Sorog's smile froze for a moment.
But to Samantha's surprise...
His brother, Tie Long, was neither angry nor flustered. It was as if he had experienced an even greater humiliation. His expression only stiffened for a moment before returning to normal.
"To be precise, he was beaten up by ogres."
Sorog shrugged his dragon wings and said.
It chose to confront its failures rather than escape reality.
It was like punching cotton; I didn't get the response I wanted.
Samantha gave a soft snort and looked at Garus.
Garus gracefully folded his wings and said, "This 'Iron King' has decided to join us and become one of us. He will assist me in managing my territory and my people."
