Chapter 186 - 28: True Dragon and Dragon Beast; Monster City
The full name of the Rock Dragon is ’Pakgyotis Joachim Kovacevic...’, but Udi thought the name was too long and simply shortened it to Parker.
After Parker signed a contract with Udi, he moved his old lair to the vicinity of the Dragon Nest.
For Parker, it wasn’t a big deal, it was just sleeping in a different place. — That’s what Rock Dragon Parker initially thought.
Until shortly after moving to the new lair, Parker felt hungry after only sleeping for a few hours.
"Is this the side effect?" Parker muttered, and then simply started to eat the earth on the spot.
The favorite food of the Rock Dragon is anything that contains the Earth Element, be it Earth Element Demons, Earth Element Crystals, or Earth Element Veins. However, directly eating dirt is also fine.
The Rock Dragon can absorb the essence from the earth and naturally digest the energy within the soil. In this regard, the Rock Dragon slightly outshines the Giant Dragon’s Furnace Stomach, because a Giant Dragon cannot survive on dirt alone and must eat some flesh, whereas a Rock Dragon can fully grow and survive without any flesh.
After devouring hundreds of tons of dirt and rock in one go, Parker finally calmed down and continued his slumber.
And even while asleep, Parker could continuously absorb the essence of the earth. — Though it was quite slow.
Thus, in less than ten days, Parker was awakened by the hunger in his stomach.
"Alright, this indeed counts as a side effect," Rock Dragon Parker said regretfully.
The reason he hadn’t cared about this side effect when Udi mentioned it before was that even while sleeping, his dragon body could continuously ’eat’, so he wasn’t afraid at all.
But now, clearly, the autonomic ’eating’ during sleep couldn’t keep up with the current abnormal digestion speed of his dragon body.
This time, Parker devoured hundreds more tons of rock and dirt, and then fell asleep again.
As time passed, the devoured dirt and rocks were fully digested, and when hunger struck him again, Rock Dragon Parker didn’t open his eyes, but his menacing dragon mouth kept opening and closing, devouring the nearby soil.
Feeding while asleep.
Rock Dragon Parker was trying to train this skill.
As time passed, the area where this enormous gray-brown Sub-dragon resided gradually expanded and deepened.
The Monster Race people in the surrounding Dragon Nest were consciously avoiding this area.
.....
"Its name is Aeolus. Starting today, it will live, grow, and be taught alongside you,"
Inside the Dragonling Classroom.
Sofia pointed to the muscular little dragon with dark green scales behind her and introduced it to Kevin, Geller, Said, and Yulia, the four Little Green Dragons.
The four Little Green Dragons followed Sofia’s hand gesture, starting with curiosity, gradually growing doubtful, and finally, their mouths gaping wide, their dragon faces amazed,
"You’re that Dragon Beast?!" Kevin widened his eyes in disbelief. But the familiar scent told him the ’Little Green Dragon’ with a dragon body proportion even more perfect than his, whom he had taught a lesson twice, was exactly that Dragon Beast born alongside him.
"I am not that Dragon Beast, my name is Aeolus, a name bestowed by my father," Green Dragon Aeolus said coldly.
Father?
Beside him, the shocked Yulia couldn’t help but ask, "We are siblings, who exactly do you mean by father? Is he also in the Dragon Nest?"
"Don’t randomly establish family relations. I only have one sister and one father." Aeolus glared at Yulia.
While the little dragons were baring their teeth at each other, a beautiful White Dragon approximately seven meters long, with scales as white as transparent crystals, gracefully walked into the Dragonling Classroom, glancing around with an initial expression of majesty.
"Aeolus, why are you here?" The White Dragon expressed surprise upon seeing Aeolus.
Hearing the familiar voice, Aeolus, who was still arguing with the four Little Green Dragons, quickly turned around, his eyes lighting up upon spotting the White Dragon,
"Sister Antonio."
Saying this, the Little Green Dragon joyfully scampered towards the White Dragon, hopping happily around her.
Kevin and the other four Little Green Dragons were dumbfounded.
What was going on?
A Green Dragon calling a White Dragon sister? Wait, could she be the sister he mentioned?
"So, is the father of this Dragon Beast... the Dragon King?" Yulia murmured to herself.
The other three Little Green Dragons were just as dumbstruck.
Though only a year and a half old, their activity range had been confined to the Black Castle, but some information had still reached them.
For example, the young female White Dragon Antonio who taught them was the daughter of the Dragon King... well, to be precise, an adopted daughter. — They had learned this from the Dragon-blooded Maids, and it wasn’t a secret in Black Castle.
The four Little Green Dragons were very clever and immediately understood what Aeolus meant earlier.
The father he referred to wasn’t their true biological Dragon Father.
Then, they recalled the time shortly after they were born, when they were presented to the Dragon King and heard him say in a disappointed tone:
"Just one Dragon Beast?"
Kevin and the other little dragons swallowed hard, casting their gaze towards Aeolus.
With his streamlined, nearly four-meter-long, dark green dragon body, and wide Dragon Wings...
They looked at their own siblings’ appearances.
Their heads were still a bit large, their tails chubby, their dragon bodies barely reaching three and a half meters, with short, small Dragon Wings on their backs... Compared to Aeolus’ appearance, the four Little Green Dragons began to question who was the True Dragon and who was the Dragon Beast.
"How is this possible..." The four little dragons found it hard to accept this reality.
