Chapter 51: The Legendary Dragon Decides to Submit
Chapter 51: The Legendary Dragon Decides to Submit
It was clear that the Flame Dragon's previous meaningless roars were cries for mercy, not screams of pain. However, because Yecheng didn't have an "Universal Interpreter" like Shima Yousuke, he couldn't understand the Flame Dragon's language.
The Flame Dragon, which had been continuously beaten by Yecheng, felt a deep sense of frustration. As a proud member of the Dragon race, bowing to a human and even preparing to submit to one was undoubtedly a humiliation.
However, in the face of the threat of death, the Flame Dragon suddenly felt that mere dignity was not worth much at all.
Who knew where these humans had suddenly appeared from, especially that white-haired human. The Flame Dragon seriously doubted that the other party was even human, as it had never seen a human so brutally pin a dragon to the ground and pound it relentlessly.
What made the Flame Dragon even more speechless was that despite the threat of death and Yecheng's overwhelming strength, the human on its back showed no intention of letting up. He continued to swing his fists, which carried magical energy, and relentlessly pummeled the Flame Dragon.
It wasn't until the "half-beast" companion came over and spoke those words that the Flame Dragon finally realized that the human wasn't ignoring its submission; rather, they couldn't understand each other's languages, making it impossible for them to communicate properly.
"Of course, this is the normal way things should work. I am a legendary dragon, and now I'm submitting to a mere human. It's only natural that he would be moved. He couldn't understand my words before, which explains everything."
The Flame Dragon thought this to itself, while also trying to console itself. Although it had chosen to submit, as a legendary dragon with a significant status among its kind, it would never choose a servitude pact with the human.
There are many ways to submit, and to survive, the Flame Dragon intended to sign a partnership pact with Yecheng, one that would be more like an equal alliance.
For a mere human to be able to sign such an equal pact with a legendary dragon like itself, he should feel honored and even grateful.
"Yecheng, this Flame Dragon says that if you're willing to spare its life, it is willing to sign a pact with you, becoming your partner and friend. If either of you needs help, you can assist each other."
The Flame Dragon had ranted quite a bit, but Yecheng didn't understand a single word. However, Shima Yousuke, who was standing nearby, kindly acted as a translator.
"It wants to become my partner? What benefits does this bring me?
And mutual assistance? With its weak strength, what can it possibly do for me? Moreover, when it needs help, I'll have to lend a hand. No matter how I look at it, I'm the one who will be at a disadvantage.
If that's the case, I might as well just finish it off. Judging by its size and strength, the materials on its body should be worth more than those from the previous Venomous Dragon."
Yecheng didn't understand the Flame Dragon's roars, but the Flame Dragon understood human language. When it heard Yecheng's words, the Flame Dragon was completely stunned.
I am a Flame Dragon, a legendary existence capable of wreaking havoc and bringing various disasters, even making infants stop crying. Now, I'm willing to lower myself and sign an equal pact with a human, and I'm being rejected?
Is this human's brain damaged? Just because he wants the materials on my body, he plans to kill me?
"A living dragon as a henchman is far more useful than a pile of dragon corpses that can only be sold for money, isn’t it?"
"What are you doing? Do you really think that by widening your eyes and acting cute, I’ll change my mind?"
"Tell me, which part of what I just said is wrong? The equal partnership you’re talking about should mean something like a battle companion, right?"
"Right now, you’re the one being pinned down and beaten by me. This means that my strength far exceeds yours."
"If we encounter an enemy that even I can’t handle, do you really think that adding you, a so-called legendary dragon, would be of any help? On the contrary, if you encounter a powerful opponent, I would have to come to your aid, which would be a loss for me. So, why should I accept your suggestion?"
Hearing Yecheng’s analysis, the Flame Dragon was stunned. Although it wanted to refute him, it found itself unable to find any grounds for argument...
It was true that it was a legendary dragon with immense prestige, an existence that humans would find unreachable. However, the key issue was that the human in front of it could not be judged by normal human standards.
Seeing Yecheng take the "Frost God Sword" from Cui and start probing his body, seemingly looking for a suitable spot to draw blood, the Flame Dragon struggled and roared desperately.
Island Yangjie, the makeshift translator, quickly stepped in to do his job.
"Wait, wait! Don’t you think having a legendary dragon as a companion is pretty cool? As a dragon like me, I am an existence that humans fear and revere. If you ride me into battle, you would be revered and worshipped by other humans!"
Since ancient times, dragons have been the most feared and revered powerful creatures by humans, and heroes have always been closely associated with dragons.
A hero who can slay a dragon is certainly impressive, but a hero who can tame a dragon is even more remarkable. This was the point the Flame Dragon was trying to make.
"Unfortunately, I don’t like drawing attention to myself. Besides, I’m more interested in money than in showing off in front of ordinary people."
Yecheng showed no interest in the Flame Dragon’s persuasion. Having found the right spot, he raised the Frost God Sword, ready to draw blood from the Flame Dragon.
"Alright, alright, I get it. You cunning human, I am willing to submit to you completely, not an equal partnership, but an unequal servitude pact!"
" Spare my life, and I, the legendary Flame Dragon, will recognize you as my master. Is that acceptable?"
There was no choice. Despite its pride, the Flame Dragon did not want to die. If it did not make a concession now, it would lose its life.
Compared to its life, how much was its dignity worth?
Didn’t you hear how ruthless this human was? As a member of the Dragon race, the Flame Dragon knew the Venomous Dragon, a rising star in the Dragon race, who might reach its current level in a few hundred years.
However, from the conversation just now, it was clear that its young protege had already met a tragic end.
To avoid sharing the same fate as the Venomous Dragon and having its body parts turned into human equipment, the Flame Dragon had to make its final concession.
