A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 395 - 317: Bloodburst Advancement—Crimson Lotus Form, Marching Into the Wilds With the Dragon Lady

Alberto spoke with righteous words, while already starting to march in place, making warming-up gestures, as if truly eager to fulfill the oath.

Hearing this, a hint of regret flashed in Galos’ eyes.

This Golden Dragon, having suffered losses too many times, was no longer as easily deceived as before.

Like the Ignas Dragon Group, he too had grown from being repeatedly taught lessons, becoming different from before.

Over the years, due to the presence of that strict oath, Alberto had to be down-to-earth, sharpening and training himself day after day. His temperament gradually became less restless, making him much steadier than before, and even those obsessive and stubborn ideas improved a lot. His resistance to being fooled also improved significantly, and he was not as easily excited impulsively.

The contents of the Oath of Conquest and Crown’s Oath had not changed.

But Alberto was no longer blindly confident and arrogant like before. His understanding of his power had also become somewhat clearer.

"However, it’s not without opportunities."

Galos observed the Golden Dragon, who, although refusing, still had a slightly flickering gaze, and pondered secretly.

"Alberto is now around seventy years old, not far from the sleep of the juvenile stage. Once he gets through that, his life level will have a massive leap forward. According to the nature of the Golden Dragon, his confidence will surely swell to an unprecedented high."

"Then, him challenging me is almost a foregone conclusion."

"At that time, I’ll make another big bet."

"Before that, if he can pay off his current debts, let him have an easy time for a while. I won’t think of other ways, after all, I’m no demon."

Thinking this, the Red Iron Dragon revealed a subtle smile.

Facing him.

At this moment, Alberto was also calculating rapidly in his mind.

"Thanks to the harsh honing forced by the oath over the years, my life level is now at 16, comparable to that of a normal adult Golden Dragon."

"Once I get through the sleep and enter adulthood, my life level will likely rise directly to 18, maybe even close to 19! That would be nearly equivalent to a late-stage adult Golden Dragon."

"At that time, it will be the best opportunity to wash away my disgrace and turn the tables completely."

"I can formally challenge Galos, win back everything I’ve lost before, including all the treasures, with interest."

Thinking of that beautiful and brilliant future, Alberto couldn’t help but open his huge dragon mouth, revealing a smile full of anticipation and longing.

For a moment, the two dragons gazed at each other from a distance, both with a satisfied yet different smile on their faces.

The atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

However, now it’s just temporary, ultimately, only one dragon is destined to smile more happily.

Soon after, to conceal his internal schemes, Alberto voluntarily flapped his massive wings, soaring into the sky, and then used the earth-sun training method he learned from Galos to begin a spectacular self-discipline.

Not long after, the dragons who were knocked out by Galos gradually regained consciousness.

Although they had anticipated the unsuccessful outcome of the siege, being so swiftly and overwhelmingly defeated still made them more acutely aware of the huge chasm-like gap between them and the Master of Molten Iron, their reverence for Galos deepened further.

Meanwhile.

Having just completed one set of earth-sun training and got himself a bit dizzy, Alberto climbed out of the huge pit he had created, shook his still slightly dizzy head, and said seriously: "Galos, I’m preparing to return to Sel Wilderness."

"Since the Federation’s civil war fully erupted, the situation over there has become increasingly chaotic and exciting by the day."

"Almost every once in a while, powerful creatures that originally lay dormant in the depths of the wilderness emerge, showing their claws and teeth, trying to vie for territories and resources."

"The battles and skirmishes between monsters are almost unceasing, those dukedom and kingdom factions on different sides continuously dispatch elite troops to attack each other’s strongholds and supply lines, occasionally with a significant number of monster races or tribes sabotaging from within, taking advantage of the chaos."

"The current Sel Wilderness is almost a pot of boiling chaos, incredibly chaotic but also filled with opportunities and excitement."

Alberto said with anticipation: "I can’t wait to soar over that land and fight alongside you."

As a challenger, he felt a heavy pressure from Galos.

But as allies fighting side by side, Galos’ presence would be as reassuring as an unshakeable mountain of steel, enough to give any companion immense peace of mind.

After a simple exchange, Alberto did not linger any longer, flapping his wings, his vast body ascended swiftly, breaking through the perpetual wind and clouds of the Border Area, turning into a dazzling golden line, and sped toward the Sel Wilderness.

Sending off the Golden Dragon, Galos’ gaze slowly swept over the surrounding dragons who had already awoken and were all in varying states,

After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "The flags of the Molten Iron Tribe have long been planted in every corner of the Border Area, but this is just a start."

Galos’ massive dragon wings suddenly spread, pointing toward the direction of the Sel Wilderness.

"A broader wilderness filled with endless opportunities is waiting for us to conquer, awaiting the reign of the Dragon Group’s iron wings!"

"Once you are fully recovered, the Molten Iron Tribe will formally march into the wilderness! Our claws will crush any obstacles that dare to stand in front, let our roars become the new law of that land."

All the dragons present felt a surge of blood rushing to their heads.

They all raised their heads simultaneously, letting out deafening, excited roars filled with excitement, fearlessly breaking through the whistling winds and flying snow, piercing through the sky.

Listening to the successive dragon roars, Galos’ heart remained extremely calm.

The recent declaration was merely to boost the morale of the Dragon Group, he himself well knew that the wilderness is vast, and the upcoming endeavor is a golden opportunity of picking chestnuts from the fire, yet it comes with more challenges and dangers, it requires steadiness and caution.

"The Sel Wilderness is a huge cake, and I am currently not enough to devour it completely."

"Back when Alberto mentioned the Blue Dragon Group, Plague Dragon, and my Red Dragon Father... they are all exceedingly powerful rivals, not to mention other strong existences beyond the Dragons."

"Using benefits to gain some reliable allies can lessen much burden and trouble."

He pondered deeply, his thoughts gradually wandering to the Celestial Pit Territory where he once resided when he was still weak.

"The Iron Dragon Lady... she should still be in the wilderness, maybe I can win her over."

"With her age and bloodline, her life level is at least 16, likely reaching 17, compared to my current self, she is not extremely powerful, but neither is she weak."

Galos deliberated, deciding he should meet with the Iron Dragon Lady.

It was definitely not to showcase his current strength, nor for just a bit of ephemeral vanity, it was purely for proper business, for better development in the wilderness.
