A Dragon against the Whole World
Chapter 331 - 285: The Strange and Impatient Golden Dragon (Part 2)
They gradually became accustomed to this restraint, seeing it as a compulsory course in survival and growth.
"Not bad."
White Dragon Trish maintained her lofty demeanor, her tone carrying a hint of condescending praise.
"It seems that after all these ’cordial’ exchanges, you two little brats have fully recognized your humble ecological niche in this valley, in front of the great Pale Wings."
Black Dragon Seraphina extended her dark red tongue, slowly licking the Dragon Blood seeping from a deep, bone-revealing wound on her arm.
She lifted her deep dark Dragon Eyes, looking toward the White Dragon.
"When Heryam and Kahill awaken from their slumber, their Power will advance further." Her hoarse voice paused slightly before continuing, "Noble Pale Wings, I hope you can maintain this enthusiasm and personally engage us in combat training."
"I very much look forward to witnessing your heroic bearing as you face off against us four dragons and defeat and insult us."
The last two words she enunciated particularly clearly.
The implied threat and challenge in her words were self-evident.
All four young dragons having experienced slumber and enhanced a stage in Power, the situation would indeed be drastically different.
With the Wild Dragon (Red Dragon Kahill) having a robust body at the forefront to withstand damage.
With the Natural Dragon (Green Dragon Ludwig) providing continuous healing and life support from the rear.
With the Storm Dragon (Blue Dragon Heryam) unleashing destructive output with its Frenzied Thunder and hurricanes.
And with the Undead Dragon (Black Dragon Seraphina) wielding unpredictable curses and soul control for restraint and interruption.
With such coordination and an amalgamation of Power.
Even the adult White Dragon Trish could not confidently say she could win easily; even if she ultimately did, the process would undoubtedly be arduous and far from the current easy domination and skillful maneuvering.
Clearly.
The seemingly brute yet keen nerve of Trish instantly caught the provocation within the Black Dragon’s words.
She let out a disdainful cold laugh, her icy breath crystallizing into fine ice crystals in the air.
"Hm, that’s something to consider later."
"For now, Black Scale brat, instead of worrying about a distant future..."
Her gaze stabbed toward the Black Dragon.
"...you’d better worry about your current predicament."
The combined ecological niche of the four dragons would significantly elevate.
White Dragon Trish understood this obvious principle all too well.
She didn’t need the Black Dragon’s "kind" reminder at this moment; she had long considered this possibility in her heart.
Yet——
She was indifferent to it, even having long devised a countering strategy.
Her coping method was very simple.
In a one-on-one battle, even if they advanced to adolescent dragons, they would still be no match for the adult White Dragon for quite some time.
At that time... she could completely rely on her absolute individual advantage to educate and punish them one by one.
As for the more distant future.
The possibility of the young dragons completely surpassing her in Power?
She had certainly considered it too.
And Trish’s way of dealing with it... could be described as extremely straightforward and crude.
When that time comes, she would simply lay down flat, acknowledge submission, and admit defeat. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Taking whatever beatings and insults they hurl at her to vent their spleen.
To her, it was merely a bit of frost and wind on her life’s journey as a dragon.
Trish was indifferent to it.
Ever since she grasped the theory of ecological niche, a clarity dawned on her, like an epiphany, granting her a very "broad-minded" view on life.
No matter what.
Regardless of how powerful and arrogant those young dragons become afterward... it couldn’t change a long-established, ironclad fact written in history — they all had been severely beaten by her, Trish.
And not just once.
This honor and achievement were enough for her to stand tall at any time, continuing to train other new dragons.
"Remember."
The voice of White Dragon Trish was like the chill of winter wind, saying: "Don’t attempt to play any self-righteous tricks in front of a creature with a higher ecological niche, or else..."
Her gaze swept over the Black Dragon.
"... bear the consequences yourself!"
The final warning resounded with a firm decisiveness.
Green Dragon Ludwig, with his keen intuition, had already clearly sensed the intense malice against the Black Dragon permeating the air.
He quietly retreated a few steps without showing any expression.
"Like now! Black Scale, you should pay the price!"
The massive body of White Dragon Trish, exuding cold air, took a step forward with a thundering tremor shaking the solid ground.
Accompanied by a dull swoosh through the air.
Her thick Dragon Tail, encased in hard ice, swept out in a vicious arc, striking hard at the side of the Black Dragon Seraphina’s waist before she could fully react.
Bang!
With a loud crash, the heavy body of the Black Dragon, like a stone projectile launched by a catapult, was uncontrollably flung into the air, somersaulting and crashing heavily onto the edge of the training ground dozens of meters away, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Black Scale brat."
"It seems you haven’t learned your lesson, we... will have extra one-on-one training."
White Dragon Trish let out a low roar and then pounced fiercely.
While they hadn’t truly grown, she would take the opportunity to educate and insult them repeatedly.
Even if it meant having to repay them later.
This transaction, to Trish, would not be a loss.
On the watchtower above, Galos withdrew his gaze from overlooking the training ground.
He slowly lifted his head, gazing far southward at the vast and boundless Sel Wilderness, filled with opportunities and dangers.
His sight traversed over the rolling mountains of the Border Area, ultimately fixing on that endless, ever-changing wilderness sky.
