Soul Of Negary Chapter 490

490 Vol7 Ch28: Dragon beasts are not dragons

Ying was leading the way, occasionally pretending to act innocently cute and graceful in order to tempt Adrian to the point that his face became flushed.

However, Adrian still managed to maintain his composure, still keeping up his etiquette even with a face as red as a tomato.

If it wasn't for the dragon's blood influence, Adrian might have become an adventurer.

Ying wasn't dejected as she knew the nature of these men. They're all weak to temptation, always claiming their raw desires to be 'love', the same way as Blondie who was in her team this time.

However, Blondie was very smart, as he had made sure not to bother her at all, not even locking eyes with her. Furthermore, that one had trump cards hidden just like any other Apostles, so unless it was absolutely necessary, Ying would not get into a conflict with him.

“We're close, I can sense the presence of dragon beasts” Adrian reported while turning his face away, as Ying was changing her clothes right behind him.

The faint rustling felt like a tiny hand gently stroking his heart, constantly tempting him and his will to immediately turn around and explore her small loli body.

Ying understands them very well, people simply cannot resist temptation, and the only reason why some people haven't acted on it was because the temptation wasn't great enough.

Adrian was no different, Ying could see how he was wavering and hesitant, she could see her desires. This person would eventually be consumed by his desires, thoroughly becoming a slave to those desires and gradually become wrapped by her ability, becoming a toy in her hands.

“Is that so? Then let us take a look at this legendary Dragon Warrior” Ying slowly finished changing her clothes and began strolling towards the direction Adrian was pointing in with her parasol.

The Dragon Warrior's ancestor was a member of the King of Evil Spirit's troops, the Dragonmen. During the final battle to reignite the First Flame, they were one of the few who didn't follow the King of Evil Spirit into the Sacred Valley, allowing them to survive and foster offspring.

Ever since he was young, the Dragon Warrior had loved to fight. Instead of considering his bloodline's bloodthirst a curse, he thought of it as part of himself and started to understand it, control it, finally founding a new Pugilist style, the [School of Dragon].

Many dragonborns who had been plagued by their dragon's bloodline had come to the Dragon Warrior over the years and became his followers, christening themselves as the Dragon Vanguards and had been trying to convince the Dragon Warrior to form his own country and become the Dragon King.

Of course, there were also other dragonborns who did not come under the Dragon Warrior despite being plagued by their bloodline.

Dragons were prideful and domineering creatures, unless there was a significant discrepancy in their blood, dragons would not easily pledge themselves to other dragons.

For this reason, many dragonborns, including the Dragon Warrior himself, look down upon the dragonborns who pledged themselves to the Dragon Warrior, calling them dragon beasts.

The term 'dragon beast' originated from certain ancient wild species that became 'infected' by dragon's blood and became half-dragon. Instead of inheriting the dragon race's will, they become fanatic worshippers to dragons, volunteering everything including themselves in the presence of a dragon, just because they caught a bit of dragon's aura.

Of course, even though those people are berated as dragon beasts, their strength wasn't something to be looked down upon. After all, it was very easy to increase the number of dragon beasts. Coupled with how the Dragon Warrior had freely allowed the [School of Dragon] to circulate, these dragon beasts all had extraordinary strength, not unlike that of supernatural Pugilists.

The only difference would be that since they hadn't manifested a Pugilist Heart, they wouldn't be able to utilize qi.

“Are we just going to head over there like this?” Adrian worriedly asked.

Although he had made it through Burning Soul Tempering to become a supernatural Pugilist, he hadn't been able to utilize the full extent of his powers due to the interference of his bloodthirst.

This was not the same for the Dragon Warrior who had integrated this bloodthirst into his Pugilist style. Instead of being weakened, he would actually be strengthened by the bloodthirst and become more ferocious compared to other first-rate Pugilists in combat.

Furthermore, with the many dragon beasts following him, his forces were not inconsiderable, otherwise, those self-proclaimed Dragon Vanguards would not be so positive that they're already making the preparations for the Dragon Warrior to be crowned the Dragon King.

“Miss Ying might be powerful, but isn't it a bit risky to rely on yourself alone?” Adrian tried persuading her against it.

“There's no issue, we can simply waltz in, and I won't necessarily be alone” Ying answered and began strolling towards that direction with her parasol.

There was a possibility of the Tagula clan's descendants being part of this large gathering of dragon beasts so that skirt-chaser Blondie might have also come here.

Of course, it's more likely that he's gone off skirt-chasing somewhere again.

Ying's arrival seemed to have caused quite a bit of commotion, drawing the attention of dragon beasts to observe them from the shadows, although the target of their observation wasn't Ying, but rather Adrian who was following her from behind.

Despite everything, Adrian was still a dragonborn, and since he had advanced to become a first-rate Pugilist, the dragon's blood in his veins had been refined to very high purity.

Dragon beasts were all extremely sensitive to dragon's blood. After they no longer carry the will of dragons, they've become increasingly more fanatic towards the will of a more powerful dragonborn. The stronger the dragonborn, the more fanatic they would become.

These dragon beasts consider Adrian's presence here a form of provocation. This was because compared to Adrian's natural dragon blood, the Dragon Warrior's [School of Dragon] had refined his dragon's bloodline to become much more powerful and invasive.

For that reason, before someone with a stronger dragon's blood appeared, these dragon beasts would serve the Dragon Warrior with more loyalty than a house dog.

“Adrian, state your intentions!” about a dozen figures appeared from the treebranches around them, their faces were obscured as one of them initiated the questioning: “If you've come to pledge yourself to the great Dragon King, then you will become our dragonborn brother from now on, but if you're here for other reasons, then we of the Dragon Vanguard will kill you on the spot”

Dragons had never been a social species. As long as there wasn't a true king who ruled over them all, there had only ever been two types of relationships between dragons: subservient or opposed. For this reason, most dragons prefer to stay away from one another.

In the Flame world of the past, the dragons only banded together as a species while the Progenitor Dragon still led them.

Of course, dragons were also a race that highly valued bloodline. If anyone were to kill a dragon, they would receive the total hostility of all other dragons.

Unfortunately, these dragonborns did not inherit this characteristic. Instead, some of the extreme human emotions had instead fused with dragon characteristics and ended up giving birth to their near-uncontrollable bloodthirst.

“We” Adrian wasn't sure about why Ying was looking for the Dragon Warrior either, as all of his questions up to now had resulted in no answer.

If it was up to him, he would definitely not have approached this location, but now he had no choice but to try and get the Dragon Warrior to show himself before any further discussions.

“My goal is to test the quality of this so-called Dragon Warrior. If he's really all he was cut out to be, I'll capture him. Although he's not a real dragon, he should still be decent enough as a pet” Ying stated directly without holding anything back, clearly looking down on the Dragon Warrior no matter how they tried to spin it.

Naturally, all the dragon beasts hiding in the trees became absolutely ballistic. Her insulting the target of their fanaticism had made them even more furious compared to her personally insulting them.

All of them leapt out from the surrounding trees, aiming straight towards Ying. Only by ripping her into tiny pieces would their anger be somewhat appeased.

Once again, a large number of blue flaming butterflies emerged from her body and flew towards the charging dragon beasts. Ying understood very well that she had to cause as big a commotion as possible and provoke the reputation of the Dragon Warrior, as well as the dragon race's pride, in order to lure the Dragon Warrior out and ensure that he doesn't simply escape.
