Chapter 73 Martial Arts Dragon, Dragon Aura
After finishing the hunt, Galos found a desolate mountain and rammed into it repeatedly, having a great time.
At first, Galos trained to become stronger and to ensure his survival. He forced himself to endure pain during training. But now he has long been accustomed to pain. If he doesn't train one day, he always feels that something is missing. It has become a part of his daily routine.
As dusk settled and night fell, Garus returned to the Pinnacle Valley.
Upon his return, he vaguely sensed a somber atmosphere.
He hovered in the sky, not landing directly, but gazing down at the dragon and the army of ants locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
The fairy dragon and the red dragon, both with serious and solemn expressions, were completely unaware of Garus's arrival and remained immersed in their own fantasy world.
Samantha sat solemnly, looking down at the ground above an anthill, a ball of fire between her teeth.
The fairy dragon Vera hovered above her head.
It scattered dazzling magical dust, illuminating ordinary black ants as if they were warriors clad in armor.
"The lowly ant tribe!"
Samantha's roar was filled with anger. She lowered her voice, making it sound as deep as an adult dragon: "How dare you build a fortress on the territory of the Red Dragon Queen!"
It spewed out wisps of fire, burning a small, smoking pit three centimeters from the entrance of the anthill as a deterrent.
"Let's duel, King of Giant Ants!"
Samantha carefully lifted the 'King Ant' and placed it under her.
This is a soldier ant with exceptionally long antennae and a relatively large body size.
In its panic, it tried to escape, but was trapped in the ditch and ran around in circles.
The fairy dragon Vera used illusion magic to make the Ant King emit light that sometimes expanded and sometimes contracted, making it look more powerful. Samantha teased the Ant King with her claws, and after a fierce battle, she killed it with a single claw.
"It's over! The great Red Dragon Queen has won once again!"
Samantha raised her chin, looking down at him with haughty disdain.
And when it declared victory, the fairy dragon chased a cricket so that it jumped into the battlefield:
"Be careful! The real mastermind is the Zerg Dark High Priest!"
"The traitorous giant ant prince who secretly relayed information about the fortress to you is actually a puppet controlled by the high priest! It's all a conspiracy by the high priest!"
Samantha paused for two seconds, then quickly resumed the scene, spitting out a few sparks from her nose.
"What?! This is all a conspiracy?! High Priest! What are you trying to do?!"
The fairy dragon switched to a cacophony of laughter, providing the voice for the mastermind: "Hehehe, of course, it was to instigate a war between you and the King of Destruction Ants. Now that you are exhausted, it is time for me to reap the rewards of victory."
The Red Dragon Queen was furious.
"Very well, you have successfully provoked my anger. So, are you ready to face death?!"
It roared.
Meanwhile, Galos silently watched the scene below.
Samantha's queenly fantasies seem to have gotten even more intense, as has the fairy dragon Vera, who actually started playing along with it, and the plot is quite rich, with twists and turns.
"What are you two doing?"
He landed, interrupting the two dragons' role-playing game.
“My dear brother, I am... uh... training Vera’s tactical command skills.”
Samantha stammered.
Yes, yes.
The fairy dragon Vera nodded in agreement.
Well, these two dragons are playing together now. Shall I join them for a while?
Galos shook his head, feeling that the game was too childish, didn't fit his dragon persona, and would diminish his prestige, so he decided to pass.
However, I can play with it by myself in my free time without letting them know.
He thought to himself.
Galos didn't press for details, pretending to agree with the two dragons' statements, and then flew towards the cave where the cliffside serpent dragon's corpse was located.
The two dragons, one large and one small, the red dragon and the fairy dragon, looked at each other in bewilderment before turning their attention back to the ant nest.
The Dark Cricket High Priest is in imminent danger; the battle is far from over! The Red Dragon Queen is determined to thwart its sinister plot!
After Garus left, the two dragons played happily together again.
Inside the cave where moonlight cannot reach.
The pitch-black environment did not affect Garros, as dragons generally possess dark vision.
He walked up to the corpse of the cliff serpent dragon.
In about seven days, given the sweltering environment of the Sel wilderness, the corpses of ordinary creatures would have already rotted and decayed without special preservation methods.
However, the cliff serpent dragon's corpse did not change much and was exactly the same as when it died.
It is a fire-type dragon, and dragon corpses themselves can remain undecayed for a long time.
Galos stepped forward, stretched out his claws, and pried open the scales of the cliff serpent dragon, staring intently as he carefully observed the structure beneath.
Some honeycomb-like pores.
It was reflected in his field of vision.
Unsurprisingly, the cliff serpent dragon uses these tiny holes to spew out high-temperature steam for explosive boosts.
This is not a magical means.
This cliff-dwelling serpent dragon was just a juvenile dragon and had not yet mastered magic.
Magic is not powerful in the early stages. Learning magic requires a lot of time and effort, and it is far less effective than the claws and teeth of dragons. Dragons generally only come into contact with magic after they are over 50 years old, when their physical growth slows down and their elemental affinity becomes higher.
Furthermore, since dragons are natural sorcerers, not all dragons are willing to learn magic.
In the Legacy of the Dragon, there is more than one career path than that of a spellcaster.
Galos had seriously considered what path he should take, and for now, he wanted to become a part-time sorcerer of the Martial Dragon.
Warlock is a natural profession.
This would allow Garros to master spell-like skills without spending too much time, thus enriching his abilities.
The Martial Dragon is actually a branch of the Dragon Warrior Monk.
Martial Dragon does not require strict adherence to the rules of martial monks; instead, it relies on brutal training and combat to hone its skills through repeated injuries and growth.
This is perfect for Garros; it's a profession tailor-made for him.
Normal martial monks can control a different kind of energy called 'ki'.
Its essence is a special energy formed by the mixture of life energy and magical energy flowing within living things.
Through the mastery and manipulation of ki, and through years of intensive training, martial monks can use ki to enhance their speed, striking ability, reaction time, and various bodily functions, while also creating magical-like effects.
The energy of the fighting dragon is called dragon energy.
Dragon aura has similar effects to normal aura, but due to the bonuses from the dragon race, it is more profound and powerful. Martial dragons who master dragon aura don't have many flashy skills, but they possess extraordinary combat power.
only.
At his current age, his current life energy and magical energy are not enough to awaken his dragon aura, and he does not meet the standards to become a Fighting Dragon.
His regular exercise can shorten this time.
However, Galos could not determine exactly when he would be able to take office.
But regardless of whether he becomes a Fighting Dragon or goes far down the path of a sorcerer, adaptability and evolution remain Galos's most relied-upon, innate talent.
This can fundamentally change him and enhance his potential.
Galos stretched out his claw and stroked the fine pores beneath the serpent dragon's scales.
"If I could evolve some jet holes on my dragon wings and use magic energy, or even better, dragon energy as fuel, my speed would be explosively increased, making up for the lack of explosiveness."
He thought to himself.
But how can we make the uncertain outcome of adaptive evolution conform to our own desires?
This is a problem.
Without hesitation, Garus licked a mouthful of fairy scale powder.
This made his thinking clear, highly active, and quick-thinking.
One idea after another emerged in his mind, only to be rejected and abandoned one by one due to lack of conditions or impracticality.
As time went by, after a rapid brainstorming session, when the effect of the fairy scale powder was about to end, Garus finally came up with the simplest and most likely way to achieve it.
