A Dragon against the Whole World

If not necessary, he would naturally avoid provoking legendary level formidable enemies.

Essentially, he preferred dealing with those opponents he could crush effortlessly with absolute power. Unfortunately, such opponents often brought little valuable reward.

"It’s a shame Shire died; otherwise, I could have had a suitable point of reference."

Galos slightly shook his gigantic head, the image of the Flower Knight flashing through his mind.

Although bearing the title of a knight, Shire’s combat style was essentially more akin to that of a mysterious and unpredictable assassin.

His frame was relatively fragile, relying on a calm mind and rational judgment, maneuvering with exceptionally agile spatial skills in combat against enemies.

Therefore, when affected by the madness of the Frenzy Fire, he lost reason.

Caught off guard, he was struck directly by the Red Dragon Gorsas, who had entered a wild state, and was killed instantly.

The fury brought by Frenzy Fire was said to be a natural nemesis of his fighting style that required calm.

If Shire had not died, with his extraordinary talent, he would surely have entered the legendary domain by now.

"Shire’s soul is stored in the life box, but his consciousness is chaotic, making effective communication difficult."

Galos pondered: "However, after years of nurturing, perhaps the situation has improved."

He decided to wait until Shire’s soul regained clarity before carefully investigating his condition.

Physical death was not the true end; this human follower with exceptional potential, even reduced to a soul, still held considerable value.

Galos slowly exhaled a hot breath.

He gathered his slightly scattered thoughts, focusing on his current state.

Besides reaching the mortal limit in life level, he clearly felt a significant change in his blood.

He could perceive, with unprecedented clarity, the circulation of blood within him.

Hot, vigorous.

Like lava surging in the veins.

This was a sensation he previously felt only when activating the Red Lotus State, but now, he could feel it in his normal state without it damaging his body, unlike the ferocious intensity of the Red Lotus State.

Just as he had anticipated and hoped before his sleep, his blood had indeed undergone adaptive evolution.

Moreover, not just his blood had changed.

Galos keenly noticed a completely different feeling from before his sleep in his scale armor and wings.

"This isn’t the place to examine myself; I should leave."

In the dark, the Red Iron Dragon slowly propped up his limbs, his massive dragon claws easily embedding into the hard ground. As he moved, the entire underground cavern began to shake violently, more cracks appearing on the rock walls.

The time had come.

Returning to his realm, inspecting the changes during his sleep, and then unleashing his renewed strength into a broader world.

He raised his dragon head, gazing at the thick rock ceiling that had isolated him from the outside for so long.

The next moment, the strong hind legs of the Red Iron Dragon suddenly exerted force, and his wings burst open, not fully extended yet already full of powerful energy.

Boom!

Accompanied by a thunderous roar.

In an area not far from Dragon Valley, the ground suddenly exploded.

Permafrost, rocks, and snow were thrown up by an irresistible force.

A massive black and red figure shot up like a comet in reverse, breaking through the earth, carrying unmatched might, and charging into the sky, reappearing beneath the skies of the Border Area.

The King of Molten Iron had returned.

Meanwhile, inside Dragon Valley.

All giant dragons, whether resting in their nests or honing their skills on the training grounds, felt the violent tremor of the ground beneath them at the same time, as well as the intense long wei spreading like a tsunami.

They were very familiar with it.

Without any command, the dragons roared in excitement, beating their wings rapidly and ascending into the sky.

All eyes focused simultaneously on the majestic dragon shadow freely dancing in the sky.

These dragons, except for the adult White Dragon Trish, Red Silver Dragon Deborah, and Elf Dragon Vera.

Those fledglings and young dragons of the past had now reached adolescence.

Each of them boasted a massive physique, bulging muscle lines, and radiant scale armor, obviously larger and stronger than ordinary dragons of the same age group.

"Awake, awake! The great, invincible King of Molten Iron has awakened!"

Elf Dragon Vera used her Illusionary Sound Technique to announce this news throughout Dragon Valley.

"Deborah, let’s get closer to have a look! Galos has been asleep for so long this time; there must be some incredible changes!" Vera flapped her wings, circling around the Red Silver Dragon, her voice full of curiosity and excitement: "Hehe, I need to update my ’Molten Iron King Simulation Skill!’ The stronger Galos gets, the stronger I become too!"

Compared to the impatient Elf Dragon, the Red Silver Dragon was much more composed.

She looked up at the familiar, mighty figure in the sky and gently shook her head.

"According to Galos’s habits, the first thing he usually does upon waking up is to familiarize and master his changes."

She said: "Let’s just wait here."

"In the meantime, have the followers prepare the highest quality food immediately. When he’s done acclimating, and comes down to eat, we’ll naturally see what growth he has achieved."

Hearing this, the Elf Dragon thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Makes sense, you’re always so thoughtful, Deborah."

Suddenly, she started to laugh mischievously: "You’re both adults now; are you planning to do something important next?" The Elf Dragon leaned in sneakily, speaking in a low voice: "As a friendly warning, Galos has trained for something specifically. The sight can be quite intimidating."
