A Dragon against the Whole World

Hoo——!

In the instant before he was about to hit the ground, his wings suddenly spread wide, bringing the descent to an abrupt halt as his massive dragon body landed steadily in the valley, barely stirring up any dust.

The followers, already briefed with the instructions from the Red Silver Dragon, immediately sprang into action.

They flowed incessantly, bringing piles of all kinds of meats, the black oil favored by Galos, alluring gemstones, and precious metals imbued with magic power, all to be presented to their King of Molten Iron.

Galos quickly devoured them with the speed of a storm.

Time passed slowly, the massive amount of food swallowed into his belly until it was almost equivalent to his own weight, yet Galos felt no fullness, with even the urge to expel waste being barely noticeable.

It was clear that his stomach and the related digestive system had gained some degree of adaptive enhancement.

After several more hours, Galos’ eating pace gradually slowed down.

The parts of his body that had once appeared shriveled and unfilled due to his sleep period now became full and robust again; the luster of his scale armor grew deeper and more restrained, emanating a vibrant and abundant life force that reached a new peak.

At this moment, several Giant Dragons, who had been quietly observing from nearby, slowly gathered around him.

"Galos, you look even more majestic than before."

White Dragon Trish was the first to speak, with a tone full of admiration.

"Your scale armor has become single-layered? But it indeed looks more pleasing to the eye and more solid."

Remarked the Red Silver Dragon, carefully examining his dragon scale armor, akin to obsidian with dark red patterns.

"Look at your dragon wings! There are so many complex patterns on them, they’re crimson, and it seems like there’s been a significant structural change! Let me touch it!"

Elf Dragon Vera curiously approached, attempting to touch Galos’ wings with her claws.

"......"

White Dragon Trish, Red Silver Dragon Deborah, and Elf Dragon Vera surrounded the Red Iron Dragon Galos, evaluating and visually tracing every evident change on his body.

They had long been aware of Galos’ uniqueness.

Therefore, they were not as shocked by his new form upon awakening as when they first witnessed it, but rather took it as a matter of course and appreciated it.

Not long after, they unanimously agreed that Galos now possessed even greater charisma than before.

That dragon body, full of explosive power, seemed to be a perfect combination of strength and beauty.

Whether high in the sky or standing proudly on the earth, wherever Galos was, he would almost instantly become the indisputable focal point, attracting all surrounding gazes.

Meanwhile, Galos was also observing his companions.

White Dragon Trish had noticeably increased in size, with significant growth in body size.

Although still unable to compare with red dragons of the same age, she had definitely surpassed ordinary blue dragons, and the cold aura around her had become more refined and pure, with her magic proficiency improving as well.

Elf Dragon Vera remained the same as always, her petite frame making it hard to discern any obvious changes.

Perhaps there were indeed changes, but her mini size made any minor enhancements seem unremarkable.

The biggest change, however, belonged to Red Silver Dragon Deborah.

Having reached full adulthood, her body became more slender and well-proportioned, her backlines smooth and fluent, with the overall curve exuding a harmonious beauty of elegance and power, while silver and honey-colored scales orderly arranged on her body, weaving an enthralling luster.

The elegant grandeur of the Silver Dragon and the lively agility of the Red Copper Dragon met a perfect blend in her.

In terms of beauty alone, the Red Silver Dragon was arguably unmatched among the female Giant Dragons Galos had known.

Because of slumbering for many years and feeling somewhat subdued, Galos gazed at her intently, his gaze so heated it seemed to ignite the air, making the fine scales on the Red Silver Dragon’s face begin to heat up a bit.

She slightly turned her head, avoiding the direct gaze from the Red Iron Dragon.

Seeing this, Galos smiled, then shifted his gaze, inquiring, "During my sleep period, did the tribe encounter any major dangers or troublesome issues that require my immediate assistance?"

The dragons exchanged a look, then shook their heads one after another.

"Indeed, some turmoil occurred during the years you slept, but they were eventually resolved."

"Golden Dragon Nasha, Alberto after awakening, and a few lords, they were enough to settle most crises."

"Overall, the tribe’s development in recent years has been quite stable."

They roughly reported the situation.

Galos thought inwardly, if at the tribe’s most perilous moment he happened to awaken from his sleep, and then descended like a king from the heavens to obliterate the strong enemy amidst the crowd’s attention, that would undoubtedly bring a great sense of inner satisfaction.

However, such dramatic coincidences are indeed too rare.

He had been asleep for quite a while; if a crisis just so happened to strike the moment he awakened and was one that only he could resolve, that would be too much of a coincidence, even leading him to suspect whether there was some conspiracy targeting him behind it.

"How long did I sleep this time?"

Galos asked another question.

Red Silver Dragon Deborah thought for a moment, then accurately replied, "According to the continent’s common New Calendar, this is now New Calendar year 318. Your sleep this time lasted a total of twenty-nine years."
