The helpless dragon's roar left Richard somewhat stunned.
But considering the dragon's current situation, it's only natural for this dragon to be a bit frightened.
After all, being overthrown by slaves, going from master to slave, and then becoming food, isn't an easy reality to accept.

In the abyss, the demon dragon's wings, vast enough to blot out the sky, wrapped around him like a cocoon. Even after thousands of years, and even though he had become a Dragon King, the sight of that black-robed figure still filled him with an overwhelming fear, like a tide rising from his heart.
