Chapter 53 Targeted Training
"You went too easy on them. Use your magic power and continue."
Galos encouraged.
Garos showed no signs of anger or rage, and with his constant encouragement, the bears gradually unleashed their power, increasing their strength and using magical energy to enhance their bodies.
At first, they were afraid of hurting Garus and provoking his wrath.
But they soon realized they were overthinking it.
A raging bear, its paws covered in thick rocks, slammed fiercely against Garus's dragon scales, accompanied by a fierce wind.
Bang!
As some broken scales flew, Garos didn't even shake, and a few black and red dragon scales were faintly visible beneath the bursting scales.
At the same time, the bear felt a powerful, explosive shockwave hit it, causing it to stagger back a few steps. Several extremely sharp scales appeared on its arm, tearing through its hard rock armor and getting stuck in its flesh.
The bear is inherently fierce and warlike.
This allows for an all-out attack, as opportunities to practice with Dragon are rare.
They viewed Galos's request as a blessing, and they were all eager and excited to begin training.
Ignoring the pain in his arm, the bear strode forward again, raised its paw, and struck.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The dull sound echoed continuously over the coniferous valley.
In addition to the recoil and cuts, the bears also felt that the dragon scales on Garros's body were getting hotter and hotter, and some of the reddish-brown color that was already on them was gradually extending towards his spine.
A few minutes later.
BOOM!
The bear's claws landed on Garos's body, and this time the shattered scales landed on the bear, turning into a ball of flames and a powerful shockwave with a deafening roar, sending the unsuspecting bear flying, its skin torn and bleeding.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All the bears were blasted away, and Galos's body was covered in a layer of scales that turned reddish-brown, emitting a high temperature that distorted the surrounding air.
"It can explode even without fire-attribute attacks."
"This layer of scales can now absorb kinetic energy and convert it into heat, reducing the impact damage I receive while also causing a counterattack."
Galos flicked its tail with satisfaction.
His gaze swept over the several cowering bears, their fur charred and falling off from the explosion, and he urged, "I didn't tell you to stop. Keep attacking me. Don't forget your spell-like abilities. Use them too."
His words awakened the bears.
Surrounding Garros, the bears began using spell-like skills. With a casual swing of their claws, they conjured massive, hard boulders that roared towards Garros, only to be blasted to smithereens by the exploding scales on his body.
And the bear, remembering Garus's instructions to try to hurt him by any means necessary, stomped its paws on the ground.
Sharp earth spikes burst from the soil, piercing Galus's lower abdominal reproductive cavity at a tricky angle.
Galos instinctively sensed some danger, so he shifted his feet, lifted his foot and stomped down, crushing the spikes inch by inch.
Although there is a layer of scales outside the reproductive cavity, the hardness of these scales cannot compare with that of the pectoral scales and dorsal scales, and if the attack has a shock-penetrating effect, it cannot completely isolate the damage.
“This is a weakness that I’ve overlooked before.”
Galos thought to himself that he needed to give his little dragon some targeted training, just in case.
Time passed slowly, and night gradually fell.
Several bears lay limp on the ground like mud, their bodies covered in blast wounds, their faces filled with a look of utter despair. At first, they thought that being attacked by Garros was a form of training and encouragement, and they were very excited.
But now, the excitement has been completely replaced by exhaustion.
While exhausted, they were also shocked and filled with a deep sense of awe.
Galos endured their attacks and took countless hits, yet remained energetic, while they were nearly exhausted.
Garos glanced at the bears and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Get some rest. We'll continue in a few days when you've recovered."
The number of bears has increased, and their exercise is more effective than before.
Self-training methods like "mountain and earth exercise" are not refined enough and cannot take care of the whole body.
Unlike other dragons, Garus did not recruit followers to fight for him or to satisfy his innate desire to rule and enslave other creatures. His main purpose was to train and strengthen himself more rigorously, making himself more powerful.
Galos always believed that...
In this world teeming with extraordinary beings, only one's own strength truly matters.
Wealth, beauty, and power.
These are all byproducts of one's own strength.
Galos's fetishes are getting more and more perverse. Meanwhile, Samantha thought to herself, and quietly took a few steps back to get further away from Galos, afraid of being targeted.
It was unaware that Galos's power stemmed from this 'quirk'.
It just felt that Galos was a bit abnormal, actually liking to be beaten, and Galos was too strong, so it was fine, but the one beating him was exhausted.
He did not allow Samantha to continue assisting him with his training.
Under the cover of night, Galos took to the air and landed on the edge of the pine valley. He chose a spot where there were no other creatures and then walked toward a protruding rock pillar.
Step closer.
After pondering for a few seconds, Galos stood up straight, thrust his waist forward, and slammed into the rock pillar. With a loud bang, the pillar snapped in two, and Galos felt a jarring, slightly aching sensation from the impact.
The scales on the outer layer of the reproductive cavity are not explosive scales and do not have the effect of absorbing kinetic energy.
The little dragon is relatively fragile, and this part was inevitably affected by the impact, even though it was protected by scales.
"It is indeed a huge weakness, too fragile. I cannot let it go unchecked."
Galos took a deep breath, his heart hardening.
Because his behavior seemed a bit strange, and he didn't want to attract attention or be misunderstood, he looked around to make sure there were no other creatures nearby, and then began to truly pound into the trees, mountains, and earth, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain as he pounded into the ground repeatedly.
This amazing perseverance and determination had no audience.
Only the two moons in the night sky, like a pair of eyes, silently watched everything that happened below.
at the same time.
The Baranghei Oilfield is located within the territory of the Third Heavy Cavalry Regiment of the Blackrock Principality.
The dwarven alchemist Groni picked up the blackish-gray scales with a hint of dark red at the edges and went to his alchemy workshop.
"Use it as a material to create trackers to follow the trail of baby dragons."
He thought to himself, then focused his attention on the broken scales.
"Melting it into a liquid matrix, then extracting the essence, stimulating its activity, and refining it into shape."
He habitually muttered to himself, reciting the basic procedures of alchemy.
In front of a stone table filled with various tools, the dwarven sorcerer inscribed runes in the air, which landed on the crucible and turned into flames. He then placed the broken scales inside to begin the first step of smelting.
But to his surprise...
The metallic scale fragment did not melt under the intense heat; instead, it gradually turned a deep reddish-brown and became increasingly bright.
Does it have some kind of special reaction with flames?
"Could it be due to the altered characteristics of the dragon scales caused by hybridization?"
Since he had neither seen nor heard of any similar changes, the dwarf sorcerer thought that this might be a brand new discovery that could support an alchemical manual and elevate his status among alchemists.
He excitedly moved closer, his eyes wide as he observed the changes in the broken scales, while simultaneously intensifying the flames.
