This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!

Chapter 203 - 33: Five Years; Black Wing Nest_2

"Poland, your smile is so radiant, it makes me feel like I’ve made a bad deal," the Jackal Wolfman retorted.

The blond strongman chuckled, his expression quickly changing as he looked with longing at the Curved Saber of Meteorite Iron tightly gripped by the Jackal Wolfman’s hand,

"Oh, my precious, it took thirty-some days and nights of sweat and toil just to..."

"Poland, shut up quickly. You’re making me feel like I’ve made a bad deal and starting to despise this weapon... Alright, I need to hurry back to practice using this weapon. There’s still plenty to do afterward," the Jackal Wolfman Green interrupted the blond strongman’s nauseating performance, waved his hand, and walked away.

"Are you planning to go to Laputa Lake again this time?" shouted the blond boss from behind.

The Jackal Wolfman Green replied without turning his head, "Yes, this time I’m taking my adventurer’s guild to Laputa Lake to hunt those River Monsters; lately, that’s the most profitable place."

"Be careful on your journey..."

The sound gradually faded away.

Walking on the broad street, some monsters recognized Green, showing expressions of awe.

"That’s the famous leader of the Blood Claw Adventurer Guild, said to be a powerful Advanced Warg Rider Knight."

"No wonder, look at how strong and tall his body is."

"Hey brother, let me ask, is the Blood Claw Adventurer Guild recruiting? It’s been tough to earn money lately, the pressure from the mortgage is overwhelming...."

"I don’t know if the Blood Claw Adventurer Guild is recruiting, but if you want to earn money, Laputa Lake in the Wasteland has been lively recently, with a large number of Sha Hua Fishmen, River Monsters, and Sea Beasts appearing there, so going there should guarantee no shortage of earning opportunities."

"Thanks, brother..."

The voices behind him gradually faded away, while new voices appeared beside him.

The Jackal Wolfman Green walked along the broad Black Stone Avenue, feeling a wave of emotion in his heart.

Five years ago, the Monster City had just been established. Aside from the center area having some life, the other areas were like a dead city.

Yet now?

The population of Monster City has exceeded 100,000!

And the surrounding villages and towns outside Monster City, if all counted together, have a population exceeding over a million.

Goblins, Kobolds, Jackal Wolfmen, Forest Giant Demons, Swamp Giant Demons, Earth Giants, Bear Goblins, Goatmen, Celestial Dog People, Harpies, War Lizardmen, Aegean Beastmen, Humans, Barbarians....

In five years, Dragon Nest implemented a policy of encouraging multiple births and absorbed a large number of clans seeking refuge, causing the population to grow from 200,000 to over a million today, expanding six to seven times.

Of course, with such rapid population expansion, past strategies also changed. Initially, Dragon Nest offered the Dragon King’s lineage to any male willing to fight, allowing them to become Dragon Descendant Followers.

But in these five years, this strategy has changed, as it’s impossible to care for everyone with such a large population, and even if everyone could be transformed into Dragon Descendant Followers, there wouldn’t be enough food to supply such a frightening number of big eaters.

Therefore, Dragon Nest began the elitism of Dragon Descendants and the sale of Dragon Blood.

The elitism of Dragon Descendants refers to absorbing talented warriors from various races into Black Castle, granting them varying amounts of Dragon Blood and modifying their lineage to become Dragon Descendant Followers.

The sale of Dragon Blood provides those who don’t wish to be constrained and prefer roaming freely outside with a stronger opportunity—if they offer enough wealth, they can obtain Dragon Blood, and Dragon Nest is quite relaxed in this regard.

As a result, the influence of Dragon Nest embarked on a path of rapid expansion, now covering over ten million square kilometers including the Dark Forest, Wasteland, Yalbit Kingdom, Nax Kingdom, Beastman Kingdom, and other smaller forces... Essentially, the southern part of the continent has some degree of presence from Dragon Nest members.

Especially in the Dark Forest and Wasteland, traces of Dragon Nest members are everywhere.

There have definitely been rebellions during this period.

After all, the essence of power expansion is actually encroaching on other forces’ interests and territory.

Yet until now, all overt and covert resistances have been dismantled by Dragon Nest.

The most intense rebellion came from the native demons of the Dark Forest.

Because Dragon Nest hunted too many demons, and the expansion speed was too fast, Dragon Nest members’ footprints invaded some powerful demons’ territories, causing these demons unbearable distress and ultimately deciding to band together to eliminate the source. — They came to Dragon Nest.

Led by the king of the Dark Forest’s western region, a mighty Cyclops standing twelve meters tall, along with several Top-Level Demons and thousands of summoned demons, they charged into Dragon Nest Territory.

However, this grand war ended quickly after it began.

The Cyclops was captured by Dragon Nest after Rock Dragon Parker emerged from underground and bit off almost half of its body.

Several Top-Level Demons following the Cyclops were taken down, with a Unicorn Python slain by the Jackal Wolfman Leader Bryan, whose injuries had healed and who had broken through to Master Level.

An eagle-like Top-Level Demon teamed up with Griffin Bley and Mother Crane Beisha (self-named Mother Crane), who also broke through and became Top-Level Creatures, to heavily injure it, ultimately capturing it alive like the Cyclops.

Another clever Top-Level Ape Demon Monster fled when the situation seemed dire.

Without Top-Level Demons to bear the pressure up front, the remaining demon army was in a one-sided state facing the elite warriors of Dragon Nest, ultimately mostly fleeing or ending up as food.

It was this very battle that cemented Dragon Nest’s dominance in the Dark Forest and earned them the external titles — Black Nest and Black Wing Nest.

After this battle, coupled with numerous adventuring guilds composed of monsters and humans active outside, Black Wing Nest gradually gained some fame in the southern part of the continent.

In the surrounding area, slightly established forces have generally heard that inside the Dark Forest, there is a powerful Black Dragon known as the Black Dragon King, who has established a Monster Realm.

As for more detailed information, most forces do not know, nor do they care to learn. Not involved, they stay indifferent, as long as no threat is posed to them, they will not spend much effort.

After all, those possessing Legendary Powerhouses in the continent truly command the winds and rains, while other forces before them remain trivial; they grow anew every few years yet perish just as frequently.

.....

Above the Monster City, the majestic Black Gold Castle expanded from 500 meters high to 800 meters high.

The center of the Dragon Pool.

For humans, mountains of Treasure Hill composed of gold, silver, copper, Elemental Crystals, Gemstones, and Magic Ore are casually stacked.

A thick, menacing, bone-spiked Black Dragon Tail sprawls across several Treasure Hills, casually draping.

Following this menacing Dragon Tail upwards, a Black Giant Dragon, far larger than the Treasure Hills, is sleeping.

An invisible oppressive aura permeates the space.

Even the air is still, fearing to awaken this terrible pitch-black beast.

After some unknown amount of time, the pitch-black beast slowly opened its huge dark yellow dragon eyes, with the black fissure in the middle of the pupil seeming to swallow everything.

"Another month’s time has passed."

The pitch-black beast murmured to itself.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve gone for a stroll...."

Let’s go for a stroll then.

With that decision made, a massive hundred-meter-tall Light Gate flashed before the Black Giant Dragon, who then stepped inside.

Dragon Wings, Dragon Tail, stirred up a great deal of treasure while traversing Any Gate, the sound was so melodious.

Outside Black Castle on Ink Black Square.

Tens of Juvenile Dragons and Young Dragons gathered beneath the arena platform.

Roar~!

On the platform, a White Dragon over ten meters long brutally knocked down a Black Dragon over eight meters long, scattering Dragon Blood and shattered Dragon Scales all over the platform.

"The winner, Antonio!!"

A strong Human Dragon Descendant over three meters tall announced the battle’s result.

"Brook, you’ve only inherited our father’s bloodline for a year, yet you think you can challenge me and win? Wishful thinking!" exclaimed the White Dragon Antonio, towering over Brook from above, snorting disdainfully.
