Chapter 294: One Thousand Years Later
As the guardian of the gate to the underworld, Harrow has always adhered to his duties and never allowed the living to pass through the first gate of the underworld.
An unexpected guest came that day.
The one who came was a young and strong red dragon. It looked down at Harrow who was guarding the gate and said contemptuously, "Open the door, guard, I want to go in."
Haro informed in a businesslike manner: "The gate to the underworld is closed to the living."
"presumptuous!"
The red dragon was as arrogant and unruly as most dragons. It immediately scolded Haro: "You stupid little dog, you better open the door for me. Master Cattaro is going to visit the titled god on the Styx on behalf of the dragon clan. You'd better not cause trouble for yourself."
Haro repeated what he said before.
"Damn it! Are you trying to provoke the dragon clan?"
"If you have a spell to pass through, please show it. If not, the door cannot be opened."
The Red Dragon flew into a rage and started swearing, calling Harrow "three stupid dogs with uncoordinated heads."
Not to be outdone, Haro mocks Cattaro as a "red lizard that leaks urine."
Both sides were hit in the sore spots and immediately started to attack each other.
However, since it was a heavy area in the underworld, both the Red Dragon and Harrow maintained basic restraint and did not start fighting on the spot.
But both sides were determined to teach the other a lesson.
"Leaky Dragon, do you dare to fight me?"
"You ridiculous three-headed dog, would you foolishly challenge a powerful dragon? Since you want to die, I will satisfy you and send you back to the Styx with my own hands."
The two sides swore by the God of the Underworld and the Dragon Tomb respectively, and agreed to fight to the death in a third world.
The duel site cannot be within the power range of the dragon clan, nor can it be influenced by the underworld, in order to ensure fairness.
Eventually they fought on a desolate gravel world.
In this battle, Harrow defeated the red dragon and knocked off the dragon horn on its left forehead.
Harrow won and felt refreshed.
The red dragon refused to accept the defeat. It said that it had traveled a long distance to the underworld and had encountered several attackers along the way. It was not in full condition and was fighting with injuries.
Harrow said, don't accept it? Then I'll beat you until you accept it!
They use a special prop [Time Shell] to unify the time. When a whistling sound is heard from the time shell, it means the time has come.
The second battle took place a hundred years later, when both sides came to another world as agreed upon to fight.
This time, Harrow suffered a crushing defeat, with his head smashed into pieces.
In addition to the fact that the Red Dragon Kataruo is indeed very powerful, another reason is that Kataruo is wearing the "Dragon Thorn Scale Helmet". This powerful equipment covers his entire body, greatly increases his defense, and also comes with dragon spell damage.
Harrow lost with his bare hands.
About five hundred years later, the decisive third war began.
This time, Haro gathered his strength and borrowed the item "Eye of Hell" from the title god, and integrated it into his second head.
With the lethal weapon, Harrow regained the upper hand. However, at the critical moment, Hell Eye was summoned away by its master, the Hundred-armed Giant, causing the second head to explode on the spot, and ultimately failed.
After losing his head one after another, Haro was completely desperate.
The Red Dragon Kataruo proposed: "Let's have two more matches, five against three. No one is allowed to bring anything, and the winner will be decided by flesh and blood."
Harrow couldn't refuse.
The fourth war took place nine hundred years later.
Although Haro won the battle easily, he was not happy.
Because he could clearly sense that the red dragon was much weaker than before. It looked exhausted, and its heavy body no longer had the power to be unleashed. Instead, it became a burden for the red dragon to fly and move.
There is no sense of accomplishment in beating a weak Kataro.
Harrow had heard some of the rumors.
There were also rumors within Cerberus that something had happened to the dragon clan, that the Dragon Lodge was being closed, and that many places were no longer accessible.
All dragons are rapidly weakening, and those stranded outside cannot return to their dragon lodges and can only hide and sleep everywhere.
All of a sudden, all kinds of dragons disappeared.
"Losing is losing, there is nothing to say. As for the internal affairs of the Dragon Clan, I have no comment."
Kataro's attitude remained as cold and hard as ever.
The final battle took place in the human world.
The time is one thousand years later.
Kataro said, "I need time. The Dragons have official business to attend to, and I have my duties, just like you guard the gate to the underworld. I will arrive on time."
"If I don't get to me, there's only one reason, and that's that I'm dead."
"You should have killed me in our first duel. Now you will lose that chance forever."
Kataro said proudly: "Cherish your last thousand years. In this final battle, I will smash your three heads, break your neck, and send your ghost back to the Styx."
Harrow also told the other party: "If I win, I will hide your body and let everyone I know know that the Red Dragon Kataruo died in my hands."
The two sides parted ways.
Harrow returned to the underworld and continued to guard the gate. The loss of his two heads caused his body to be severely damaged, and it took him very long to recover.
A thousand years later, Harrow finally arrived in the human world on time.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He had come here twice in the past on business.
Today's human beings have undergone tremendous changes. They no longer live near mountains and rivers. They have built a huge number of cities, and many strange and weird things have appeared in the world.
Harrow didn't want to get into trouble, nor did he want to be noticed by the human voyageurs.
It just waits and searches quietly.
Harrow is certain that the Red Dragon Katarō will come.
Kataro is a proud and arrogant dragon who not only wants to win, but also wants to win in the way he wants.
This wait lasted for hundreds of years.
Over the past hundred years, Haro has seen humans killing each other, wars spreading across lands like an infectious disease, various human inventions emerging one after another, and human individuals, cities and villages, land and oceans have all undergone dizzying changes.
Harrow only cares about when the red dragon will come.
It walks in the city streets, through the grass and hills in the suburbs, and into the trickles of streams and oceans. On the islands, it distinguishes the scent of dragons from the bird droppings and mud. In the desert, it gnaws bones and rotten things, searching for traces of dragons...
One day not long ago, it encountered a ginseng bush.
This Dragon Su Zhucong told Harrow that the Red Dragon would not come. The Jiuhe Pillar, which served as a passage, had been destroyed, and the Dragon Su had also closed the passage to the outside.
Harrow disagreed.
Because it relied on the [Hunter's Secret] to find the scent of the Red Dragon Cattaro in many places.
The scent of red dragon spread widely, on the bones and pottery displayed in the city museum, in the mineral layers and pottery jars under the desert, in the thick ice of the Himalayas, in the mud under the Dead Sea lakebed... the red dragon seemed to be evenly distributed throughout the world.
Harrow thought that the red dragon Katarō was probably dead.
It died before I came over.
Does this count as a win for him? Harrow doesn't know.
He always remembers what the red dragon said.
——You should have killed me in the first duel, now you will lose this opportunity forever.
Harrow is still wandering and lingering in the human world.
The dragon race is a powerful race with extraordinary talents. Even many years after their death, their bones can still retain most of the dragon's power and scent.
Harrow wants to fulfill his promise and piece together the red dragon's body and take it away.
This is a sign of respect for one's duel opponent.
…
After listening to Haro's statement, Lu Yao was silent for a while: "Is it possible that the soul and bones of the red dragon have been found and collected by other sailors?"
“…”
Hello dog's eyes slowly opened wide.
"I'm just saying it's a possibility, don't worry about it."
Lu Yao quickly changed the subject: "Well, Cancong asked you to come to me..."
The pirate dog was in a downtime state, with his eyes blank and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
