Dragon King’s Harem Chapter 390. Dominance
I flapped my wings hard, pushing myself higher until I had a clear vantage point over the entire battlefield.
Eir’s massive form twisted through the air, grappling with the serpents as they lunged at him. Fire burst from his mouth as he attempted to push them back, but Sky Serpents were notoriously difficult to kill. Their scales were nearly impervious to most attacks, and their agility made them difficult targets.
The fourth serpent, the one that hadn’t been drawn into the fight, was circling lazily, as if waiting for the right moment to strike. The fifth one, on the other hand, was closing in fast.
"Great," I muttered. "Just what we needed. Another one."
I pushed forward, flying toward the fourth serpent, knowing that we couldn’t afford to have it lurking around, waiting to strike the convoy. If it decided to target the carriages, we’d be in serious trouble.
Once I approached, the serpent noticed me, its massive head turning in my direction. Its yellow eyes gleamed with malice, and I could feel its gaze lock onto me as it let out a low.
"Alright, big guy," I muttered, eyeing the fourth serpent as it hurtled toward me, its scaly body cutting through the air with predatory grace. "Let’s have a nice talk, shall we?"
’Dragon Form,’ I commanded internally. My body responded immediately, transforming in a swift, familiar surge of power.
My form grew larger, muscles bulging beneath scales as dark as night. My wings expanded wide, casting a shadow over the sky as my blue eyes, now glowing, locked onto the fourth serpent. A low, rumbling growl escaped my throat as I roared, the sound echoing like thunder, rattling the very air around me.
The effect was immediate. The fourth serpent, which had been rushing toward me with reckless abandon, suddenly stopped mid-flight. Its eyes widened, and for the first time, hesitation flickered across its face. It knew. It felt the difference. I wasn’t like Eir or the others. I wasn’t just a dragon. I was the dragon king. My presence alone was enough to make even the most ferocious beasts reconsider their actions. And this serpent, despite its size, was no different.
I could see the cowardice creeping into its movements, the way it flinched every time I flexed my wings or growled low in my throat. It knew it couldn’t win. It was waiting for an opening to flee, trying to calculate if it could escape without me pouncing on it. But it wasn’t my immediate concern. Not right now.
Not with the fifth serpent bearing down on me.
There was something different about this one, something that set it apart from the others. It wasn’t just larger, it carried itself with a kind of authority that the other serpents lacked. Its scales were thicker, glinting darkly in the fading light of the day. Its eyes were sharper, filled not with fear but with challenge. This wasn’t just another serpent. This was their leader.
It dived toward me with its jaws wide open, its speed ferocious, aiming to crush me in one swift strike. The force of its descent pushed through the sky like a meteor. I had mere seconds to react, but I didn’t hesitate.
I roared again, louder this time, with all the power I could muster, letting my dominance reverberate through the air. The roar wasn’t just a sound, it was a message. ’I am the king of dragons, and you are nothing against me.’
The fifth serpent flinched, its descent faltering for just a moment. It stopped its dive, hovering in midair, its massive wings beating powerfully to keep itself aloft. But unlike the fourth serpent, this one didn’t back down. Its eyes narrowed, and I could see it assessing me, calculating its next move.
"You’re not like the others, are you?" I growled. "You think you can take me on?" My tail swished behind me as I positioned myself, wings spread wide, ready for whatever came next. This one wouldn’t flee so easily. It wasn’t like the fourth serpent, filled with cowardice. This one was bold. It wanted to prove something.
The fifth serpent’s eyes locked onto mine, and for a moment, neither of us moved. It was like the air had frozen between us. I could sense the challenge in its gaze, the way its muscles tensed, preparing for an all-out strike. But there was no fear in its eyes, just raw determination.
"Alright, then," I muttered, the corner of my mouth curling into a grin. "Let’s see what you’ve got."
Without warning, the fifth serpent lunged at me again, its jaws snapping shut with a force that could have shattered boulders. I dodged to the side, my wings carrying me swiftly out of its range. I countered with a blast of fire, directing it straight at its exposed underbelly, the weakest part of its armor-like scales.
The serpent twisted in midair, its long body moving with a fluid grace despite its size. I watched as it dodged the flames I had unleashed, its quick reflexes impressive for a creature of its bulk. But I wasn’t just watching. I was calculating, analyzing every movement, looking for the slightest hint of hesitation or weakness.
I roared once again, but this time it wasn’t for dominance, it was an order. A command to the convoy that they needed to get as far away from this battlefield as possible. The sky was about to turn into chaos, and I couldn’t afford to be distracted by worrying about their safety.
My roar echoed through the sky, and a moment later, I heard a distant roar in reply. It was a confirmation. They understood, and they were moving. Now, all I needed to focus on was the serpent in front of me.
’Just remember, Argod,’ I reminded myself, my wings beating steadily. ’Control your power. Don’t make too much of a mess.’ The last thing I needed was to unleash a firestorm so intense that it reached the convoy. My power was vast, and the range of my attacks was something even I had to be careful with. Even Eir was holding back to ensure we didn’t endanger our own people.
