Dawn was approaching, and the rising sun already cast a faint glow on the horizon.
Although Kalon had stopped the Dragonfire, which grew more terrifying as a True Dragon matured, after these Gnolls submitted to the Dragon clan, the entire grassland in these hills was still turned into a wasteland by the Red Dragon.
The dead monsters were also burned to ashes by the Dragonfire, waiting for new life next year along with the green life buried deep under the yellow earth.
For Kalon, these intelligent and somewhat disciplined Gnolls were suitable dependents for the Dragon clan, so he had to control the destructive desire and fiery anger brought by the Evil Dragon Blood.
He needed to be aware that the influence of the Evil Dragon Blood would also strengthen with his own growth, much like maintaining a certain mindset through constant practice and a state similar to self-discipline.
Therefore, even though each release of Dragonfire and destruction made the Red Dragon feel doubly pleased, allowing him to enjoy and indulge in this unbridled feeling, Kalon would quickly rein it in.
Controlling the will of the Evil Dragon Blood had become his subconscious instinct; he only destroyed what he wanted to destroy and killed whom he wanted to kill.
Under the tempering of this mental state, Kalon always had a feeling that when he passed the slumber of his youth, he would usher in a huge evolution and improvement.
And from the perspective of the long-term development of the Dragon Clan's Territory and his own interests, accepting the allegiance of these Gnolls was also the optimal choice the Red Dragon should make as the True Dragon Group's leader.
Moreover, he had already displayed the Dragon clan's power and majesty, establishing absolute authority before these evil races who only feared strength, and had also punished the Jackal Tribe.
After the war with the Dragon's dependents and the Dragon clan's punishment, this Jackal Tribe, along with the enslaved Ogre and Werebear slaves, still had approximately six hundred members.
Such a number, combined with the Gnolls' strength, still counted as a relatively powerful tribe, and these Gnolls would provide new blood for the Dragon Territory, which was severely short of manpower.
The surviving Gnolls, led by Yug, the Jackal Tribe leader, would migrate their tribe to the core area of the Dragon Clan Territory, settle there, and receive new assignments, while the remaining Centaur Warriors and Grey Wolf Knights would be the supervisors escorting the Gnolls.
However, these Gnolls were the closest monster tribe to a civilized tribe Kalon had seen so far; they not only had their own Jackal Tribe language but also a relatively stable and distinct social class structure, with clear divisions of labor within the tribe.
Moreover, these Gnolls had accumulated a certain amount of wealth, including domesticated poultry animals in their nests and cultivated food crops.
This was a crop that looked like foxtail grass on the grassland, and under the Gnolls' crude cultivation management, it brought a considerable portion of food to the tribe every year.
And after these Gnolls left, the vacant nests would become temporary strongholds and fortresses for the Kobolds and Green Goblins who rode Grey Wolves daily to patrol the Giant True Dragon's territory.
However, Kalon did not care about these matters; the True Dragon now lacked neither the wealth accumulated by the Jackal Tribe, nor did he intend to search for treasure in the Jackal Tribe's treasure trove, but instead returned directly to the Dragon clan's Dragon Nest with Rosani, the Black True Dragon.
When the two True Dragons landed on the mountaintop, Kalon saw the Green Dragon Antagena; the beautiful Female True Dragon, shimmering like emerald in the morning sun, was prostrate on the mountainous area where the Young True Dragon s usually gathered to rest.
The Green Dragon's slender neck and head rested on a round, low table carved from stone, idly slapping her long tail while slowly yawning; last night, the Green Dragon was responsible for patrolling the Dragon Clan's Territory, so the unslept Green Dragon seemed a bit tired; she was currently waiting for the well-rested Young True Dragon s to come out and take over the patrol duties.
"Kalon, Rosani,"
Antagena discovered the arrival of the Red Dragon and Black Dragon, scrambled up, and rubbed her slender neck against the Red Dragon's shoulder blade; this slightly intimate way of greeting was limited to the Red Dragon; for the Black Dragon, Antagena merely gave a simple greeting.
To be honest, Kalon felt he possessed two fragmented yet unified aesthetics; on one hand, he inwardly felt that the Green Dragon Antagena's appearance was not truly beautiful, especially the thorny, bat-wing-like structures growing on the Green Dragon's head and down her spine, which he found very ugly.
On the other hand, the Giant Dragon's instinctive aesthetics told him that the Green Dragon before him was a rare beauty, considered beautiful enough among the Chromatic Dragon from a True Dragon's perspective.
So, although Kalon knew that the Green Dragon Antagena had always been deliberately trying to please him, he never reciprocated.
"Was last night's matter smooth, Rosani?" the Green Dragon asked casually; she did not know that Kalon had left the nest for the Black True Dragon, thinking they had simply returned at the same time by chance.
Rosani, the Black True Dragon, glanced at the Red Dragon, then looked at the Green Dragon, and then said in a low voice, "It was alright."
Kalon did not know the Black Dragon's thoughts; he just walked to the edge of the mountaintop plateau and looked down, overlooking his territory.
The territory in the morning had already begun to become active; at the foot of the mountain, besides those dependents on rotating shifts, other active dependents had gradually appeared.
The Kobold tribe, who followed the Giant True Dragon the earliest and were most useful to the Giant True Dragon, were allowed to open up homes in the forest at the foot of the Dragon Nest Mountains.
They lived adjacent to the relocated Centaur Tribe. The Ogre slaves and Green Goblins lived in the middle edge area between the Kobold camp and the Centaur camp, making it convenient for theDragon clan's dependents to monitor and control these two races.
Therefore, many newborn Kobold infants and Centaur infants appeared at the foot of the mountain; these two tribes, under stable living conditions, were now in a period of rapid population growth, with newborns being born every month.
Although the Ogre slaves and Goblin tribes had a relatively low status in the Dragon Territory, the rich territory of the True Dragon could also provide ample food.
Even digging wild vegetables and gathering mushrooms in the forest could easily sustain these monsters, whose vitality was much stronger than humans.
However, the young of these Ogre slaves and Green Goblins were not allowed to wander freely within the territory; on one hand, this was due to issues of group class status.
On the other hand, the Kobold young, who were particularly cruel to other races, always liked to abuse the young of these slaves, leading to a high mortality rate for Ogre and Green Goblin young.
This was the racial nature and status class difference of these monsters; even if the Giant True Dragon did not approve of this practice, it was difficult to change in a short time, and moreover, the Giant True Dragon's gaze could not focus on these details at all times.
Kalon's gaze at this moment noticed the newborn young of these dependents. These newborn young looked exceptionally strong and vibrant, with better physical conditions than their parents when they were young.
Some Kobold young gathered at the foot of the Red Dragon Mountain would even grow fine red scales, with only white skin exposed on their chests and bellies, and the short horns on their heads were also different from their parents', being thicker and longer than their parents' horns.
Occasionally, there would even be Kobold young that grew two wings; such young were usually the leaders of their age group, leading a group of Kobold young to shuttle through the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, causing destruction.
They would dig out pits and then set up traps and alarm devices that would trigger crossbow bolts.
This innate talent was fully manifested in these Kobold young.
The Centaur young, however, did not show any special changes; they just became stronger, perhaps because the Centaurs' own talents were much stronger than the Kobolds', so the Dragon clan's influence on them was not yet obvious.
Clearly, although Kalon resided high on the mountaintop, he still uncontrollably influenced these Kobold dependents, causing them to gradually change.
However, Kalon himself was not sure whether these Kobold dependents were affected by the nest effect or because the Kobold bloodline was naturally more susceptible to the Dragon clan's influence.
After all, in Kalon's impression, only Legendary True Dragon's possessed a sufficiently wide range of nest effects; the influence caused by the nest effect of True Dragon's below Legendary was generally limited to the vicinity of their own caves.
And Kalon's nest was at the top of a high mountain, so it should be difficult to affect these Kobold dependents. Kalon had once tried to actively control the influence of the True Dragon's nest effect, but with little success.
Therefore, Kalon chose to build his nest on a high mountain also with the idea of reducing the impact on the surrounding environment; after all, the Red Dragon's alteration of the environment was not as relatively gentle as the Green Dragon's; at that time, the grassland and forest would be filled with cracks in the earth and unquenchable endless wildfires.
The destructive power of other Young True Dragon's was also not far behind, especially the White Dragon and Blue Dragon; the Blue Dragon would gradually desertify the nearby land, and the White Dragon would turn its location into a natural ice storage.
Kalon did not want to destroy the surrounding environment; this was not an Evil Dragonsuddenly developing a benevolent heart, but rather a complete territory could bring more benefits to the True Dragon; he now needed to view most problems from the perspective of the True Dragon Group's leader.
Kalon shook his head; no wonder those Chromatic Dragon that once nested near human and other racial civilized areas were easily slaughtered, or at least beaten up and driven away.
Even if these Chromatic Dragon stayed honestly in their nests, wanting to develop in obscurity, as their influence on the environment gradually deepened, they would still be discovered by the surrounding humans.
One could only say that whether actively or passively, every Chromatic Dragon living in the world was causing destruction at all times.
And the mere fact of causing permanent environmental damage alone could give these humans an excuse to attack the Chromatic Dragon.
In Kalon's crimson pupils, the world underwent some kind of change, as if suddenly switching to another vision; the entire world became real and concrete.
The real world was composed of countless intertwined, flowing lines and energy trajectories: yellow earth, blue water patterns, cyan flowing wind, green life, and red flames.
These elements operated in the real world at every moment, not interfering with each other yet intertwining and merging at a certain moment.
This was the true vision possessed by affinity users and controllers of the elemental domain, a part of Kalon's own true vision.
Besides this, Kalon also saw many incomprehensible fluctuations and traces of energy lines, which he could not understand, touch, or utilize.
But Kalon could see that on his own body, besides the cluster representing his fire, metal, and earth elements, which were intertwined yet distinct,
There was also some non-attributed power of a certain radiation field, with almost no energy fluctuations, emanating from the surface of his body, intersecting with a certain energy and node in the real world.
This radiation-like power was like some uncontrollable passive ability, capable of gradually forming a spreading field through its intersection with the real world, and gradually infecting every part of this field.
Kalon's gaze turned to his own dwelling nest, the volcanic magma lake. In his vision, the radiation field power unconsciously and constantly emanating from him was converging into the nest along a certain trajectory and trace in the real world.
His dwelling nest, due to long-term contamination and being a special magic convergence node itself, had already formed an extremely special and dense field.
In the eyes of those without True Vision, this kind of field could only be perceived as a mental pressure similar to True Dragon Might, which is why many True Dragon usually restrain their True Dragon Might, but many creatures still dare not approach the Dragon Nest.
The range of a True Dragon's marked territory is not like ordinary beasts marking territory with the scent of urine; instead, it is the natural radiation field of the True Dragon itself intertwining with a certain energy in the real world, naturally preserving a unique True Dragon aura.
However, although True Dragon cannot control the effects and influences brought by this power, it is very easy for them to erase their own aura.
But Kalon's radiation field power at this time was not strong enough, and it did not connect and resonate with the field formed by the nest, eventually disappearing into a corner of the real world.
This perspective was extremely clear; without the interference of various strong elemental traces in the volcanic nest, Kalon could easily detect his own radiation field power.
Kalon frowned, remembering that the treasures in his privately excavated vault were also tainted with this unique True Dragon radiation field power.
Moreover, under the influence and permeation of the True Dragon's power, the accumulated treasures had gradually formed a kind of node and enhancer-diffuser similar to field radiation.
Every True Dragon's ability will be amplified in its own nest; the specific amplification depends on each True Dragon's talent and control, which is why many True Dragon's combat power in their own nests far exceeds their combat power when walking outside.
As for the Legendary White Dragon rumored to have been soloed by others at his doorstep, Kalon could only attribute it to the White Dragon race having the title of "Disgrace of the Chromatic Dragon," which affected the White Dragon's performance.
However, the fact that treasures within the Dragon Nest can amplify and diffuse the True Dragon's own power and field effects, a piece of knowledge that should be common sense, was not found in the True Dragon's inheritance. Kalon felt some doubt.
Without this knowledge inheritance, ordinary True Dragon would generally find it difficult to discover the existence of this power. They are not like Kalon, who possesses the talent of True Vision; they merely passively control and respond to the innate elements within the world.
Perhaps only when an ordinary True Dragon becomes an adult or steps into the Legendary realm can it discover the existence of this power, or only then possess the power of this permeation.
At this moment, some rumors about True Dragon's fondness for collecting treasures surfaced in Kalon's mind. It is said that these treasures, gold coins, and countless precious items that creatures are enthusiastic about are imbued with the thoughts and wishes of all living beings.
They are all attached with powers similar to special magic or faith, and this power can be absorbed and utilized by True Dragon with special talents, supplementing their own abilities and bloodline. At critical moments, it can allow True Dragon to achieve transcendence and evolution.
Therefore, as long as objects like treasures and hoards are considered precious and valuable by races across the world, like the sands of the Ganges, True Dragon will develop a desire to plunder them, whether it be money or other treasures.
Even a human kingdom's princess, if she possesses this attribute and is regarded as a treasure by her kingdom, the True Dragon will go and snatch her.
And in Kalon's inheritance, it was also mentioned that True Dragon have a certain path where, when crossing the final step of evolution and sublimation, they need to swallow all the treasures they have collected.
Then, they undergo sublimation and evolution in slumber; upon success, they will leap up and transform into a Deified True Dragon, which is also a unique path for True Dragon to achieve life sublimation.
However, this transcendence ritual requires the True Dragon to reach a certain life boundary before attempting it, at least crossing the boundary of life and death.
Because although True Dragon can theoretically grow infinitely and have infinite lifespans, in reality, every True Dragon will face the world's trials and the limitations of time when passing through the extremely old stage. If they cross over, they will become Ancient Dragon, possessing more lifespan and greater power.
If they fail to cross over, they will perish and return to the embrace of death like other races. Therefore, many True Dragon at this juncture choose another path for True Dragon, becoming True Dragon Lich to extend their lives.
One can only say that theory is theory, and practical situations are practical.
This brings us to the White True Dragon among the Chromatic Dragon. Other Chromatic Dragon, after crossing the extremely old age stage and becoming Ancient Dragon, generally possess the power to contend with Legendary beings, no matter how poor their talent.
But ordinary White True Dragon, even after becoming Ancient Dragon, are not strong enough to contend with Legendary beings; they need to continue growing to the peak of Ancient Dragon before they can possess the power to contend with Legendary beings. From this perspective, the title of "Disgrace of the Chromatic Dragon" on the White True Dragon's body should be impossible to erase forever.
However, in Kalon's inheritance, this path of the Deified True Dragon was only briefly mentioned, and there was no specific method for its implementation. Perhaps it is because Kalon has not yet reached that level, and it will only be revealed to Kalon when his life level reaches a certain boundary.
This situation is very normal, because the True Dragon's inheritance is vast as the sea, and it is impossible to transmit all inheritance information to the True Dragon at once.
The True Dragon's inheritance needs to be unsealed and sorted through each slumber before it can become knowledge that one possesses and masters.
Even the offspring of gods would be unable to bear receiving all the True Dragon's inheritance information at once, let alone these young True Dragon.
Or perhaps each True Dragon needs to attempt its own deification ritual according to its specific circumstances, and the rituals and methods required by each True Dragon are different, which leads to no specific knowledge being preserved in Kalon's own inheritance.
But in any case, this knowledge does not exist in every True Dragon's inheritance, and the unevenness of the world is fully demonstrated in this aspect. Perhaps those True Dragon who once crossed this step did not choose to pass on this information.
This is very normal; the True Dragon's nature is greedy and selfish. "After I die, who cares if the floods rage behind me" is an inherent nature that every True Dragon possesses and is difficult to change.
Or perhaps those True Dragon who know this knowledge do not wish for it to be widely spread, after all, if this path is chosen, all True Dragon will become potential competitors to each other.
Even if True Dragon do not know this information, their inherent greed drives them to plunder treasures. What's more, with a clear path to sublimation and evolution.
That would drive the True Dragon to an extremely insane degree regarding the world's treasures. "Money over life" would become the norm for most True Dragon, and it would even likely ignite endless True Dragon wars.
Every True Dragon will covet each other's treasures and vaults. Although it's similar normally, True Dragon generally do not actively wage war on another True Dragon solely out of greed for treasures.
"No wonder the statue of Tiamat, the Queen of the Chromatic Dragons, always gazes at the Dragon Nest of every True Dragon worshiper with an extremely greedy look," a thought flashed through Kalon's mind. Even if these Chromatic Dragon become Tiamat's followers, they will not choose to place the statue of the Queen of the Chromatic Dragons inside their own nest.
They usually just place the statue of the Queen of the Chromatic Dragon outside casually. When there's something to do, they pray; otherwise, they act as if the statue doesn't exist.
It seems they are also preventing Tiamat from coveting their treasures, and there are legends that the Queen of the Chromatic Dragon once stole some True Dragon's treasures. Kalon doesn't know if this information is true or false.
But judging by his own Evil Dragon nature, it wouldn't be surprising if Tiamat actually did such a thing. Although the Queen of the Chromatic Dragons is a True Dragon God, she is first and foremost a True Dragon.
Her power is not because she is a True Dragon God, but because she is a powerful True Dragon. She possesses all the characteristics and abilities of all Chromatic Dragons in the world, and is far stronger than Chromatic Dragon by thousands of times, and certain characteristics of Chromatic Dragon will also be amplified by thousands of times in her.
"It seems that the certain master behind those True Dragon merchant groups is also a True Dragon who knows this information," Kalon recalled some knowledge. On the Ekania continent, there are some famous merchant groups controlled by Metal Dragons, and several of these merchant groups have also come to the Dragon Clan Territory to do business.
Kalon was very impressed by these merchant groups because he found the aura of True Dragonon their leaders, including a Silver Dragon who had transformed into a human using Polymorph.
Under Kalon's True Vision, these True Dragon who had not reached master-level Polymorph could not conceal their true forms, even if they possessed magical secret treasures that could hide their True Dragon aura.
"It seems I also need to establish a merchant group belonging to the True Dragon Group as soon as possible," Kalon thought. Plundering treasures, in Kalon's eyes, is only the lowest level of means. The profits earned from doing business are much faster than plundering treasures; even robbing a bank is not as lucrative as some businesses.
But to embark on this path, the required treasures may be immeasurable; otherwise, there would be no information about successfully deified True Dragon in Kalon's inherited memories.
However, even though Kalon may not necessarily embark on this path of the Deified True Dragon, he is accustomed to preparing in advance. Having alternative paths is never a bad thing.
Kalon activated his magic power and entered the [Mind Overclock] state, using his powerful will to control himself into overclocking mode. In this state, Kalon possessed extreme mental focus and absolute control over his body.
His strength, speed, reaction, vision, etc., also increased to the highest level his own qualities should have. However, he was not doing this for combat, but to try to control his own nest effect, that kind of power similar to field radiation that naturally emanated from him.
His will controlled his body and mind to retract; every scale on his body clung tightly to his skin, and every tiny pore on his skin, too small for the naked eye to detect, also closed.
His own power contracted, and the Evil Dragon Blood, which was active at all times, also entered a dormant state under his will.
Kalon's mind began to try to touch and control the field radiation power revealed under True Vision. This wave-like energy was extremely subtle and difficult to detect.
However, Kalon's current mental power was strong enough; the abundant soul and mental power of Fafna the Ogre Giant had always been providing Kalon with benefits.
Kalon's mental power was now almost surpassing those high-level Scholar mages who specialized in exploring magical mysteries with their minds, so after several attempts, he easily touched the fluctuations of the field radiation energy. He began to integrate his mind into these field radiation energy fluctuations.
He was using his mental power to find the rhythm and changes of this radiation energy fluctuation, gradually feeling his own field radiation power intertwining and resonating with a certain external energy and field.
The energy fluctuations diffused in the real world through a certain medium, then dissipated after reaching their limit.
Peng, Bong Bong,
A rhythm similar to rapid, subtle heartbeats echoed in Kalon's mind. He found the rhythm point that changed in an instant, and his mental power merged into it.
His mental power seemed to instantly enter an extremely subtle vision. Under the macroscopic gaze of True Vision, he stepped into the microscopic realm of the world, and by following the fluctuations of the power radiation, he could perceive every subtle structure and connection.
His spirit could penetrate deep into the stone, following every minute structure, as if he had discovered the elemental particle structure that made up the stone, flowing through the gaps in these elemental particle structures. Every grain of soil, every tree, every piece of ore—he could use this radiation fluctuation to resonate with the outside world and observe their interiors. The microscopic part of the world was opening its doors to him.
Kalon left his own mark in a true corner of the world.
In this rhythmic state, he could restrain the energy fluctuations emitted by his own field radiation, just like he restrained his own True Dragon Might, and as these field radiation forces converged.
Kalon's own aura became like every stone, every tree, and every inch of land in the world, no longer emitting his own aura and energy fluctuations, but rather akin to all things in the world, born from their roots.
From the Black Dragon Rosani's perspective, the Red Dragon before him stood on the mountaintop like an ancient, eternal rock, with hardly any life fluctuations or soul aura detectable from the Red Dragon.
Whoosh!
Kalon exited this resonance, and the peculiar perspective instantly switched and disappeared. He exhaled deeply, and before him lay green fields and barren mountains, full of vitality.
Kalon felt the consumption and fatigue of his mental power. Now, in the state of initiating his mental hyper-frequency, he could persist for a long time. He had practiced mastering this state every day in his daily activities.
Therefore, Kalon, after long-term training and adaptation, possessed far greater flexibility and focus than other True Dragons, and his overall combat power had also greatly improved.
The relative clumsiness brought about by a True Dragon's huge body was not evident in Kalon.
Additionally, the sub-brain cluster constantly analyzed and adjusted the Red Dragon's daily posture and power output model, leading Kalon to be in a continuous state of practice even in his daily life.
However, exploring and restraining in this perspective while activating the [Mind Overclock] state consumed an enormous amount of mental power, making it impossible for him to remain in this state for long.
But the benefits brought by this attempt were enormous. Kalon could feel the effects of activating both states within himself.
He happily scratched his broad lower jaw with his thick True Dragon claws, then turned to the Black Dragon Rosani behind him and chuckled, "Rosani, I think I've learned your race's innate ability. A Red Dragon that can sneak around, how interesting."
Kalon's gains exceeded his expectations. Originally, Kalon only wanted to control this influence that was beyond a True Dragon's control because of his own habits; Kalon was accustomed to controlling everything about himself.
From the outside, people with such obsessive-compulsive self-control tendencies are considered potential self-abusers; they enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes from controlling themselves, just as those who indulge in pleasure enjoy the joy of controlling themselves.
The same was true for Kalon. Controlling himself was not only for his free will to be unaffected by the outside world and Evil Dragon Blood, but he also enjoyed the sense of accomplishment that came from successfully controlling himself, which was no different from the sense of accomplishment brought by seeing his continuous improvement and progress.
Kalon enjoyed this feeling, and he also enjoyed the feeling of indulgence, but he preferred to enjoy the process of relaxing after successfully controlling himself.
This feeling was like indulgence after tempering oneself, so the Red Dragon was not like those ascetics who only sought to control themselves; he was merely enjoying this success.
"Kalon, it seems you've grown stronger again,"the Black Dragon Rosani said with a happy expression, stepping forward, just one step behind Kalon, and looking down at the Dragon Territory alongside the Red Dragon.
Antagena's figure was already gone, likely having returned to her mountain lair to rest. Flying in the sky was Blue Dragon Akzi; today, this adolescent Blue Dragon was responsible for patrolling the Dragon Clan Territory.
Kalon shook his head, "Not really stronger, just discovered another way to become stronger and learned a rather useful ability."
Black Dragon Rosani was silent, a hint of frustration on his face. He looked up at the massive Red Dragon and stammered, "Kalon, I'm a bit lost on what to do. I don't have powerful talents like you all."
"Even though I actively tried to do things for the True Dragon, I still failed to achieve success last night. Not only did I lose many Dragonkin, but I also needed you to rescue me. I… I don't know what I should do."
True Dragon's are also living beings, and they have their weak sides, even the Chromatic Dragon. Black Dragon Rosani also had his own soft emotions, but other True Dragon would mock such emotions. The Black Dragon only showed such emotions when facing the Red Dragon.
Of course, this wasn't because the True Dragon was too weak, but rather the anxiety Rosani felt under pressure. Among the Chromatic Dragon, the Black Dragon was at the bottom, and his talent was not outstanding.
Not to mention the ordinary Red Dragon, who led the Chromatic Dragons and could take on two Black Dragon at once, even a Green Dragon could steadily suppress a Black True Dragon in a one-on-one fight.
Even the weakest White Dragon, Camid, now after mental growth and tempering, had embarked on the path of reviving his ancestral bloodline, and could also steadily suppress a Black True Dragon in a one-on-one fight.
As for camid, although he was the weakest among the True Dragon's, Camid held a special place in the hearts of these True Dragon and was not lightly regarded.
Because camid was the most reckless True Dragon among the True Dragon. Even if he was weak, as long as Kalon gave the order, he would dare to brandish his claws and fangs.
Even if the opponent was an adult True Dragon, this White Dragon seemed to have no fear in his heart. Even the stubborn Female Red Dragon Klenaya couldn't compare to this White Dragon's recklessness.
So, the Black Dragon Rosani was now troubled and anxious. He didn't want to be a burden to the Dragon clan He hoped to be useful to the Dragon clan and prove his worth.
The Red Dragon did not comfort the anxious Black Dragon. He turned his head and slapped Rosani's face with a thick True Dragon claw.
Slap!
"Kalon?" Rosani looked at the calm-eyed Red Dragon with a shocked and bewildered expression.
"Rosani, you need to act like a male True Dragon. What's wrong with you?" Kalon's calm yet powerful voice brought a quiet strength to the Black Dragon.
"Is this what you learned from me and the True Dragon? Weak like those human women," the Red Dragon's calm eyes gazed into the Black Dragon's eyes,
"What to do, what to do, what kind of rubbish talk is this?" The Red Dragon's words held no mockery, yet they were firm and resolute. He said, "The world of True Dragon's is not the world of humans and those short-lived races. There's no need to rush to hear those stories of young achievements."
"Rosani, time is on our side. If you want to grow, you must make up your mind. Or do you want to grow freely like other True Dragon? You will always be a part of the True Dragon, and the True Dragon will not abandon you, but you must be firm in your choice, not indecisive like a coward."
Kalon gazed at the Black Dragon; his words were what he truly thought. He wouldn't demand every True Dragon to grow like him or like Klenaya. Every True Dragon had their own choices and talent limitations. He accepted the world's vibrant diversity and unevenness.
Moreover, whether it was controlling their Evil Dragon nature or tempering themselves through battle, it was extremely difficult for True Dragon due to their lazy and pleasure-seeking nature. Their nature was hard to change, and Kalon wouldn't try to change it. He would only subtly influence things that could be changed.
"I understand, Kalon," Rosani received assurance and support from the Red Dragon's eyes. His gaze also became firm, and he chuckled, "Damn it, there's nothing a True Dragon can't conquer. Kalon, perhaps I need to conquer myself like you. A True Dragon doesn't allow anything to control them, not even their own bloodline."
Kalon's long tail swished against Black Dragon Rosani's back with a whoosh. A smile appeared on his face, "This is the mentality a proud True Dragon should have. Those powerful and proud Evil Dragon don't even fear the Dragon God's, let alone just some influence from Evil Dragon Blood."
Rosani nodded, then awkwardly said, "But I won't give up on those beautiful little mares on the grassland. True Dragon should pursue great power, but they also need beautiful embellishments."
Although the Red Dragon understood the aesthetics of True Dragon, True Dragons could find unique beauty in all creatures in the world.
Even ugly Slime and Stone Giant made of stone, True Dragons could discover their unique beauty, but the Black True Dragon's current preferences were truly too unique and niche for Kalon.
For some reason, Rosani had a special fondness for equine creatures. Even among the Centaur Tribe he took under his wing, Rosani often lingered, and now those Centaur had the closest relationship with Rosani.
Slap! Kalon flapped a wing, sending Rosani flying. Kalon then flapped his wide wings and soared into the sky, leaving his words behind, "Control doesn't mean prohibition, but your hobbies and aesthetics, tsk tsk, never mind, I'm too lazy to bother with you."
"Heh heh," Rosani scrambled to his feet, spread his wings, and ascended into the sky, returning to his lair.
Whoosh! Kalon landed on the mountaintop of his lair. The two peaks were not far apart, and the Red Dragon, with wings nearly thirty meters long, reached his lair with just a gentle flap.
The constantly surging magma, the hot steam it spewed, and the ash brought up from the deep earth by the magma enveloped the entire mountain, making it difficult for even sunlight to penetrate the barrier of ash and misty heat.
This made the Red Dragon's lair appear somewhat gloomy, like those Legendary Doomsday Volcanoes.
As soon as Kalon arrived, his unrestrained field radiation fluctuations instantly connected with the field remaining throughout the lair. Within this lair, the Red Dragon could grasp information from every corner and exert several times his own strength.
Even a Young Red Dragon coming to Kalon's lair would be soundly beaten by Kalon, then forced to leave treasures as ransom and payment for their freedom.
The warning spell, "Awakening Dream," originally set by Kalon, had gradually spread its range from initially covering the entire mountain to extending in all directions, fueled by the intense magical energy of the volcano.
However, this spell did not hinder the other young True Dragon; their arrival was set by Kalonnot to trigger any warnings.
Thus, Kalon was not surprised when he discovered Female Red Dragon Klenaya secretly hiding in the magma lake, pretending to be asleep. Kalon was well aware of the benefits the magma lair brought to a Red Dragon's growth, and this Female Red Dragon had always coveted his lair, which sparked a mischievous idea in Kalon.
Subtle magical energy rapidly gathered between Kalon's claws, condensing into a fireball under Kalon's will. This was his awakened innate spell, not magic, so it was extremely fast. He quietly raised the fireball and hurled it towards the Red Dragon in the magma lake.
Bang!
