A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 208 - 197: Little Demon: Material Realm, Here I Come... Evil Dragon! Run!

"Why didn’t the Metal Dragon come with you?"

Iron Dragon Solrog, not seeing any sign of the Red Silver Dragon, pondered and said, "She rarely communicates with us. When in Dragon Valley, she mostly guards your sleeping place, but I think the Metal Dragon should know some ways to deal with the Abyssal Rift."

The Metal Dragon is dedicated to maintaining peace and justice.

Demons represent chaos and evil and are the targets that must be eradicated in the eyes of the Metal Dragon. There should be relevant information about the Abyssal Rift in the legacy of Red Silver Dragon Deborah.

Upon hearing this question, the expression of the Red Iron Dragon became somewhat unnatural for a moment.

He scratched his head and said, "She guarded me for too long. Now that I’ve awakened, there’s no need to watch over me. She went somewhere to relax."

Is that really the case?

The Mind Mage Dragon’s eyes flickered with a different light, smelling a hint of guilt from his brother.

"The Metal Dragon only listens to you."

"We can ask her when she returns. Maybe she can help."

Though Iron Dragon Solrog noticed something was amiss, he wisely chose not to delve deeper into the reasons.

"This Abyssal Rift can’t be eliminated for now. What do you plan to do?" The Iron Dragon looked at Galos and asked.

Galos shook his head slightly and extended a claw to pat Solrog on the shoulder: "Solrog, the management of the territory is mainly your responsibility, and you have not disappointed me. Since the general direction has been determined, you can handle it, and consult me if there’s anything important."

Molten Iron Clan.

No, it should now be more appropriately called Molten Iron Tribe. Its current development owes much to Iron Dragon Solrog.

When Iron Dragon Solrog was in Dragon Sleep, Galos often felt overwhelmed while managing the expanding territory and followers, with his free time greatly reduced.

Dragon Valley still lacks an appropriate management layer.

So far, only the Iron Dragon is qualified. Red Dragon Samantha is good with alchemy but handling a territory would be too demanding for her. White Dragon Trish can only be an enforcer, and Elf Dragon Vera is even more unreliable.

The Red Silver Dragon could be... if she returns to Dragon Valley.

"Alright."

Feeling the weight from Galos’s claw, the Iron Dragon nodded heavily.

White Dragon Trish said to the Iron Dragon, "I can guard this Abyssal Rift. If demons crawl out, my claws will crush them."

The Iron Dragon nodded in agreement.

After pondering for a few seconds, he looked at the Mixed-blood Centaur and said, "Elvira, the Fertile Plain is mainly managed by the Centaur Tribe. Now an Abyssal Rift has appeared here, and you happen to have the Celestial Horse Power to restrain its expansion."

"From now on, you’ll lead part of the guards to handle the Abyssal Rift with the White Dragon."

"If demons appear, after the White Dragon kills them, you can cleanse their abyssal aura. If strong demons or large numbers appear, remember to transmit a message immediately for reinforcements."

Next.

The Iron Dragon issued instructions to the Mages and Shamans of the Eye of Annihilation, asking them to set up defensive or trap-like magic around the Abyssal Rift to prevent uninformed creatures from straying in, as well as serving as a layer of defense against demons.

Later, additional troop units will be stationed here, ready to respond at any time.

Throughout the issuing of orders, Galos observed silently from the side.

He noticed that Iron Dragon Solrog’s thinking had become more meticulous. He considered many small details previously overlooked when issuing orders, and his thoughts were clear, with instructions orderly.

"Not bad, probably an enhancement after becoming a Mind Mage."

"Considering the current scale of the Molten Iron Tribe, I worried Solrog might not handle it well. Now it seems it’s still within his management range, though it’s not easier than before; it’s quite a burden."

Galos pondered that he should find some ’assistants’ for Iron Dragon Solrog.

Managing territories and followers, handling various trivial matters takes a significant mental toll, and over prolonged periods, even the Mind Mage Dragon can’t sustain, as his level isn’t high; he’s just a novice.

Moreover.

Singular decision-making often leads to omissions or wrong choices. For the Molten Iron Tribe to grow more orderly and positively, relying solely on the Iron Dragon for territory and follower management is impractical and unsustainable.

Suddenly, Galos’s gaze sharpened, and he abruptly turned his head.

Other adolescent dragons also sensed the anomaly and looked in the same direction.

Under their watch, the Abyssal Rift began to glow, with black-purple light slightly bulging over the earth like veins. The rift breathed in and out, exuding a heavier sense of evil than when static.

Chaotic Abyssal tongue arose from within.

"Ah! The Material Realm, it’s the Material Realm!"

"I smell the scent of delicious flesh and souls!"

"Slaughter! My claws crave blood!"

"......"

Buzzing—as the crack twisted, five vicious and sinister figures emerged from the Abyssal Rift. They had sharp claws and fangs; black skin covered with vein-like twisted patterns, bat-like wings sprouting from their backs.

Screaming the Abyssal tongue symbolizing slaughter and destruction, they appeared in the Material Realm.

They were extremely excited, baring claws at the Material Realm creatures, revealing fangs.

Then.

Under the cold gaze of the surrounding dragons, their movements all froze, like frogs suddenly seeing a venomous snake.

Dragon?

Dragon!

It’s over!

Chaos, evil, bloodthirstiness, and cruelty are the nature of demons. These low-level Kuase Demons feel fear when they confront creatures far stronger than themselves.

They are also known by a more widely recognized name.

——Little Demons, ultra-small demons, standing under one meter tall.

Little Demons desire victory and seek the same powerful forces as other demons, but being on the lowest tier in the Abyss, suffering bullying from other demons, they possess the heart of a coward, strong against the weak and weak against the strong.

There are also Evil Dragons in the Abyss, holding higher ecological positions, not something ordinary demons can handle.

"Back to the Abyss! Back to the Abyss!"

The quickest among them turned to dive back into the Abyssal Rift.

Boom! A white slender Dragon Tail struck through the air, landing heavily, and with the ground’s tremor, crushed the Little Demon into a pulp.

Terror spell!

The other Kuase Demons gnashed their teeth, baring fangs, arching backs, and spreading wings, casting a terror spell.

But all were exempt, having no effect.

White Dragon Trish’s Dragon Wings spread, charged before the Kuase Demons, and with a few simple claw strikes, crushed them all.

"Demons? Just some frail crawlers."

After crushing several Little Demons, White Dragon exhaled frost from her nostrils and arrogantly spoke.

"White Scales, is it worth feeling proud after slaughtering a few Kuase Demons?"

Red Dragon Samantha said, "In the Abyss, their status is lower than bugs, mere trash and rubble found everywhere."

Faced with Samantha’s insulting remarks, the White Dragon, though boiling with anger, held back without retorting.

Since awakening from this Dragon Sleep.

With abundant resources and exceptional development brought by self-driven quest for knowledge, the Red Dragon’s life level had risen to 12, equivalent to a juvenile Red Dragon over forty years old.

She also fulfilled her previous proclamation and battled the 13-level White Dragon again.

The result, a victory for the Red Dragon surpassing her level.

"Arrogance is the original sin; don’t let your guard down."

The Red Iron Dragon cautioned, "Kuase Demons are weak, but they are adept at finding spatial passages, and they prove their worth by finding paths to the Material Realm. If they return alive to the Abyss, more demons will follow."

Heritage tells him that Kuase Demons are countless in the Abyss, indefensible and inextinguishable.

They themselves are very weak, with life levels around 2.

But their duty isn’t in fighting; they are the cannon fodder for Abyssal invasions into the Material Realm, guides for other demons, and also spare food.

Where the Kuase Demons fell.

The ground tainted by their flesh and bones was gradually eroded, temporarily imbued with evil aura.

Elvira stepped forward, wings spread, radiating pure divine light. As it passed, with a sound like cold water meeting a red-hot iron, the Abyssal aura evaporated, and the tainted ground was restored to its original state.
