Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

It seemed that only by clearing away the broken and shed scales could new dragon scales grow.

The young dragon carefully removed the shattered golden scales from the body of the Golden Giant Dragon, then took out a bottle of potion gifted to her by the Evil Dragon and poured it over the dragon's massive form.

As the potion touched the Golden Giant Dragon's wound, a radiance blossomed forth.

Watching the injury on the Golden Giant Dragon's body heal at an astonishingly fast rate and seeing new scales grow in, the young dragon was stunned.

She was dumbfounded. Could the potion given to her by the Evil Dragon... have a healing effect comparable to Holy Water?

"You didn't need to heal him; his injuries would have recovered quickly on their own. Giant dragons might not have regenerative powers, but they possess a certain self-healing ability. For such minor wounds, there's no need to waste a drop of the potion I gave you," Lance said, feeling the sting of loss; the naïve dragon whelp had no idea how valuable the potions he gave her were.

Those potions were meant for her own use.

The Thunder Giant Dragon's wound had already healed. Fortunately, he was quick enough to collect half a bottle of dragon blood infused with the Power of Thunder.

To collect that bit of blood, the Thunder Giant Dragon had struck him with bolts of lightning several times.

"Why does the Power of Thunder have no effect on you?"

"Because I have a Lightning-ward Pearl on me."

Lance beckoned to the young dragon, who was holding most of a jar of Golden Dragon blood and flew to the Evil Dragon, handing over the Golden Dragon blood.

The Thunder Giant Dragon dispelled the lingering image of the golden sun in her mind.

Sword Intent.

It was the Sword Intent mastered by human swordsmen in the Human World.

As a Thunder Giant Dragon, she had encountered swordsmen who possessed Sword Intent and even crossed blades with them during her time walking among humans.

Some who mastered Sword Intent were indeed strong, but definitely not strong enough to bring down a giant dragon with a single strike.

She had seen the diversity of Sword Intent as well—Gentle Wind Sword Intent, Icy Sword Intent, Thunder Sword Intent, Fiery Sword Intent...

The emergence of Sword Intent gave swordsmen the strength to match those beyond the ordinary.

However... until today, she had never heard of someone being able to transform their Sword Intent into a golden sun.

No!

It wasn't just about transforming it into a golden sun. At the moment the golden sun descended, it gave her a sense of absurdity and reality as if the sun were truly falling from the sky.

The warmth of the sun, its weight, and the vastness that stretched beyond sight as it fell...

It was too real...

So real that she, the Thunder Giant Dragon, felt utterly insignificant...

Preposterous.

It was simply too preposterous.

The capacity to turn Sword Intent into a golden sun... a human swordsman of such strength...

No!

A Human Sword Saint whom she had never even heard of.

Such a powerful Human Sword Saint, and yet they had lived in obscurity until now.

If it weren't for the remote corner of the continent where a Dragon God Temple had been erected and gained the recognition of the Dragon God, she would never have imagined... that such a formidable Human Sword Saint resided in such an inconspicuous place.

Whether he had the power to slay Pureblood Dragons was up for debate.

But he definitely possessed the power to injure a Pureblood Dragon!

The injury she and the Golden Giant Dragon Austin had sustained at the same time was proof enough.

"Why does such a powerful human choose to live in seclusion? There are no legends about you in the Human World. Human, tell me your name."

"Lance. As for why I live in seclusion... that's because I lack a sense of security. For instance, now, I've chosen to retire in peace in such a remote place... and yet I still keep encountering legendary creatures one after another.

The strong, golden-shining Golden Giant Dragons, the Thunder Giant Dragon with the Power of Thunder, and... the Deep Sea Siren... There's no telling how many more powerful creatures like you there are in the Human World.

My strength... is nothing worth mentioning. I'd rather not rise to prominence in human history. I'm afraid, afraid of being hammered by some known or unknown powerful being...

It's wonderful to make a name for oneself, but doing so also risks becoming a stepping stone for other mightier beings.

Moreover, there's a saying: 'Every generation produces its own formidable talents, each dominating their era for hundreds of years' and 'As the ocean's new waves overtake the old, every new generation surpasses its predecessors.'

Living in obscurity is quite nice; you don't have to worry about being the target of envy."

The young dragon took out a diary from the Spatial Ring, sprawled on the ground, and quickly jotted down the classic quotes of the Evil Dragon. Stay updated through empire

"Talented individuals emerge in each generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years."

Good, good, good, this saying is excellent, it's taken by the future Emperor of the Phalan Empire.

"As the waves of the ocean push the ones before, a new generation surpasses the old."

This one is also good, also claimed by the future Emperor of the Phalan Empire.

Lance's logic made the Thunder Giant Dragon feel there was some truth to it; the powerful beings of the Human World really did emerge one after another, and among other races, there were also many strong individuals.

The strong ones who stand out from a race... at the very least, each mastered a dragon-slaying skill.

The human before her was indeed powerful, but there were still many humans stronger than him.

One such individual stronger than this human was right by her side.

Saintess Sophia of the War God Temple.

The symbol of wisdom and divine martial prowess.

When she was young, she received blessings from the Temple of Wisdom, and as she grew older, she became a Saintess of the War God Temple and received its blessings.

She had many powerful Divine Spells at her disposal, and her personal combat prowess was also formidable.

This Thunder Giant Dragon regularly sparred with Sophia, initially having the upper hand, but gradually it turned into Sophia having the upper hand against her...

The reason Sophia became so powerful has much to do with the dream she had since childhood, constantly dreaming of being defeated by the Black Dragon, which cast a shadow over her.

She grew stronger to find and defeat that Black Dragon from her dream, to shatter her shadows and nightmares.

The human before her was strong, but Sophia was even stronger, especially with the support of the two grand temples behind her.

In a certain sense, for this human to become so strong was already quite remarkable.

Among the strong, there indeed exists a disparity.

Some disparities are like chasms, insurmountable.

Dragons are no different.

Just like her and the Golden Giant Dragon Austin, to the eyes of humans, they are synonymous with strength.

But even among dragonkind, there are Pureblood Dragons stronger than them.

The human before her was very strong, but probably not yet strong enough to slay dragons.

"What you say makes sense; there are indeed many in the Human World who are stronger than you, but you are also quite strong."

"Quite strong? Erinna, don't be deceived by this Human Viscount, he isn't just 'quite strong,' he is the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor, if you were active in the Human World and had interactions with Human Swordsmen, then you would understand the significance of the words 'Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.'"

Truly unexpected that this somewhat capable Human Viscount before her was the 'god' in the hearts of all Swordsmen in the Human World.

Revered by Swordsmen as the 'Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.'

When she was in the Human World, upon hearing the title 'Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor,' she thought it was 'Evil Dragon Scum Ancestor.'

In the impression of this Golden Giant Dragon, Evil Dragons tend to be rather contemptible.

Then after some inquiry, she realized it was Sword Ancestor.

Could an Evil Dragon possibly be a Sword Ancestor?

No, to be precise, her thought at the time was... are there even Evil Dragons that practice swordsmanship in this world?

Later on, she came to know that the 'Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor' spoken of by Human Swordsmen, was actually a human, whose talent in swordsmanship was incredibly strong, he emerged out of nowhere, left behind the 'Four Realms of Sword Path,' and then mysteriously vanished...

His emergence made the art of swordsmanship even more brilliant and resplendent.

"He is the foremost authority on Sword Intent, and the 'Four Realms of Sword Path' spoken of by Human Swordsmen were left by him, if he really is the 'Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor,' then I can, with difficulty, accept being defeated by his sword..."

Before experiencing the Sword Intent of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor, she as a Golden Giant Dragon would not acknowledge the so-called Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor, but after experiencing it... she finally understood why the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor became regarded as the number one swordsman in the minds of Human Swordsmen.

"Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor? Isn't it Evil Dragon Scum Ancestor? I always thought when Human Swordsmen spoke of the Evil Dragon Scum Ancestor, they were cursing some Evil Dragon wreaking havoc in the Human World, seems like I misunderstood, it's not the scum of contempt, but the sword of swordsmanship."

The young dragon looked up to the sky, feeling that Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna inadvertently insulted the Evil Dragon a few times.

"Austin, are you suggesting that this human is even more formidable than Sophia?"

Thunder Dragon Erinna communicated with Golden Giant Dragon Austin in dragon tongue.

"That's an exaggeration, no matter how strong he is, he couldn't possibly surpass Sophia, known as the 'little War God'..."
