The Dragon's Pact: A Princess for the Flame

Chapter 25 – Black Dragon Flash Strike Silver Mine Cave

How should one enjoy such an adorable little darling?

Waiting online, urgent!

Anna's affection didn't change much, but Su Nian felt like he was about to be conquered.

So young yet already so charming, what will happen when she grows up? Such a cute Elf Girl, and at a time when she's growing, nutrition must be kept up. Giving her plenty of pure milk from the System Points isn't too much, right?

Su Nian thought it wasn't too much. But for now, he didn't know where to get milk, as the cows weren't mature yet.

The Lolita Dress seemed replaceable, though a bit expensive.

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Su Nian masked a slight unease in his heart. With a serious look on his dark dragon face, he gently picked up the obedient Anna and placed her on his back.

His back was now broader, with a specially modified seat-like area, surrounded by horns and slightly recessed. Anna, being petite and delicate, fit perfectly in the soft space.

Su Nian could tighten the cartilage connected to his dragon spine to secure Anna's body and prevent her from falling. Anna could also hold onto the horns on his back, giving her a sense of security.

Given the current limitations, otherwise, he would have created a fighter jet cockpit and transformed into a Gundam Dragon~

Then he would put Anna, his gold coins, and his books inside, fully protected from all angles.

What?

You think a dragon going to war with such baggage is foolish?

Su Nian disagreed. A Lolita only enhances his combat power infinitely. If he can't protect her, it means he's too weak, and it has nothing to do with Anna.

【Hehe, sitting on Mr. Dragon's back is so comfortable and warm】

【Anna wishes she could be protected like this forever】

【Sadly, Anna's body...】

The little Lolita started daydreaming again.

Listening to Anna's thoughts, Su Nian's dragon mouth curled up, thinking that as a transmigrator, snatching someone from death is just a matter of saying hello and nodding, right?

Looking at the kobolds still waiting for his command, Su Nian felt it was about time to attack the mine occupied by the Itt Monsters.

Whether to guard against Anrius's crusade or the players who could arrive at any moment, the only thing he could do now was to enhance his own strength and gather more magical creatures to his side.

He was confident in his current appearance.

...

Deep in the Silvermoon Forest, in an Evergreen Broadleaf Forest, dense webs covered the trees and ground like snow on a winter night.

Most of these trees were already dead, their bare trunks intertwined in chaotic, grotesque shapes, layered like clawing demons, appearing sinister and terrifying in the dim light.

This was the territory of the Itt Monsters, easily recognizable.

In the Itt Monsters' territory, almost all living beings would be hunted.

Moreover, the webs and venom of the Itt Monsters gradually corroded the once lush forest, turning it into a desolate place filled with webs and corpses.

The Itt Monsters wouldn't clean up the corpses, letting them rot and stink until they turned to bones.

But today, a more terrifying predator entered this dead zone—a formidable and majestic Black Dragon.

Behind him followed a group of trembling kobolds.

"By Kurtumak, great master, this place is terrifying!"

Polikri nervously glanced around the eerie surroundings. When they escaped, this place was vibrant with flowers, trees, and the sounds of insects and birds. Now it was more desolate than the realm of the undead.

"Do not fear, I will stand by your side."

Su Nian casually encouraged the fearful kobolds.

He felt nothing. What was fear? He was the embodiment of terror now.

Didn't Anna, clinging to his back, show no fear?

"Speed up, attack the mine directly. We don't have time to search one by one. Once we make noise, all the Itt Monsters will come."

Su Nian decisively ordered all the kobolds to advance quickly, but before they reached the mine entrance, a swarm of Giant Spiders, screeching, blocked their path.

These Giant Spiders had been tailing Su Nian and his group for a while, but their cunning nature kept them from attacking immediately. The Black Dragon's aura intimidated them.

So they followed from a distance until Su Nian was about to reach their lair.

They couldn't endure any longer. If they did, the intruder would break in. Honestly, it was their first time encountering such a stubborn intruder.

Facing the charging Spider Swarm, Su Nian's dragon eyes flashed with cold light.

"A bunch of trash barely over level ten."

His chest swelled, throat expanding, as a ghostly green light appeared.

"Boom—!"

With a roar like an engine starting.

A ghastly green Molten Flame Breath swept out, engulfing all the Giant Spiders in an instant.

The Giant Spiders only managed a few screeches before turning to ash in the dragon's breath.

【Killed Giant Spider x57, gained 312 System Points】

Not bad, very satisfying.

Instant kill.

Su Nian contentedly exhaled a smoke ring with a strong sulfur scent.

If it had been the previous acidic dragon breath, it wouldn't have been so clean and swift. The burning and corrosive power had comprehensively enhanced the dragon breath's destructive force.

Even the surrounding dead trees were ignited by the ghostly green flames. But let them burn; they were already dead, and this place needed purification.

"Move forward!"

Su Nian spread his broad dragon wings, giving the command.

The kobolds, filled with reverence for the Black Dragon, marched with a swagger, heads held high, into their former home.

Moments later...

Inside the Spider Lair-like web-filled mine, blue-green flames burned everywhere.

Spider corpses littered the cave, and the smell of burnt protein permeated the air.

Three Itt Monsters lay under Su Nian's feet, each crushed by a single stomp, wailing in pain. Their bodies were covered in burn marks, dark green blood flowing and mixing with the spider limbs scattered around, looking pitifully tragic.

There had originally been four, but one was burned alive.

Now, the only remaining Itt Monster cowered before Su Nian, trembling like a bullied Lolita.

This was a specimen Su Nian had intentionally left for testing his physical strength.

He raised his fearsome dragon head, brutally grinding his thick dragon claw on the ugly head of the Itt Monster beneath him, producing a "creak, creak" sound.

A blast of hot white steam spewed out, landing on the face of the cowering Itt Monster, scalding it as it rolled on the ground, screeching.

That should do it.

Su Nian's dragon eyes lowered, his iron-hard dragon tail whipping like a steel whip against the rolling Itt Monster, which didn't fly like a ball.

With a dull thud.

It burst like a smashed watermelon, scattering into a mess of flesh.
