Chapter 452 – Northern Territory
In the Northern Territory.
Two good-looking men were fighting monsters as they were on their way to the territory of the overlord of the north.
One of them used dark energy to bring the dead creatures back to life, but they turned undead now.
Their spirits would leave their bodies, but Kirito used his undead skill to keep the corpse intact.
Kirito joined Dave after Dave called him. He passed on the Luck Strand Energy he’d gathered from hunting monsters.
He encountered many strong creatures but escaped without a scratch.
Dave decided to carry out his plan today. Other human guardians wanted to help, but Dave declined.
He told them to protect the human clan in case other monsters attacked.
He also didn’t want them to slow him down. They were powerful but for Dave, they were just hindrances.
“Rooooar!!!!”
Above them, a dragon roared, spewing black flames all over the forest.
Boom!
Draco, who was now 300 meters tall, roared.
His roar scared nearby monsters, but he was excited to rampage without worries.
<Roar of Destruction>
“Roaaaaaaar!!!”
Draco used one of his strongest moves, and thousands of monsters nearby died from the shockwave.
The surroundings were destroyed.
The monsters were strong, but they couldn’t withstand Draco’s power. They were turned into mush due to the strong spiritual attacks of Draco’s Roar of Destruction.
Dave and Kirito, on the other hand, were unaffected. They scanned the area and waited for their prey.
Boom!
Suddenly, Draco was blasted to the ground, creating a massive crater.
“Roar”
Draco roared in anger. He didn’t expect to be blasted without a chance to defend.
His colossal body remained undamaged because of his tough skin, thanks to Dave’s previous beatings.
Draco had become hardworking to strengthen his body, fearing more beatings from Dave.
Dave observed Draco and knew that Draco wouldn’t die from such attacks.
Draco’s skin was very tough, and the experience would humble his arrogance.
Draco was getting more and more arrogant, but that didn’t mean he didn’t respect Dave.
He respected Dave more than anyone else. To Draco, Dave wasn’t just his master; he considered him a father.
Dave had been there for him when he was weak, helping him reach this point.
Their bond was so strong that Draco was eager to prove he could catch up to his master.
Boom!
An intense energy disturbance occurred, and a colossal ape, a thousand meters tall, appeared.
Dave and Kirito looked like ants compared to this enormous creature.
The ape had red fur and a terrifying presence as if it could part the sea with a single breath.
“Human, how dare you enter my territory! You’re asking for death.”
“This overlord didn’t expect livestock to have the audacity to rebel.”
The ape appeared dignified, radiating intense heat.
While he didn’t care about his subordinates, their deaths angered him as it was a blatant disrespect to his status.
He decided to investigate and was shocked to find that a dragon had wreaked havoc in his territory and nearly destroyed his forest.
He was also upset that the humans he had treated as livestock had become arrogant after his 10,000 years of slumber.
Dave scanned the Ape and learned that it was a Divine Monarch at the top level with a pure Fire Ape Bloodline.
Dave acknowledged the Ape’s strength and knew that he would be in danger if he faced it without using his trump card.
The Ape Overlord had formidable power, but Dave didn’t fear him. He could eliminate the overlord in an instant if he wished.
“Why don’t you submit to me and become my pet? You could make a good meat shield.”
“You’re definitely not my match, so it’s a shame to kill you.”
Dave felt that the monster before him could also be a useful pet.
In the future, he could use it as a punching bag to test his strength.
Draco couldn’t withstand his punches, and he was getting bored, but the Ape seemed like a suitable target.
The Overlord was stunned and felt a sinister smile from Dave, as if he had something devious in mind.
He suddenly felt a chill, but his status as an overlord and Divine Emperor rose again, realizing the audacity of the human before him.
Dave’s words quickly enraged the Northern Overlord.
“How dare you humiliate me!”
“Impudent human, die!”
The ape’s eyes blazed with fire, and he launched his flaming fist at Dave.
Boom!
Dave and Kirito didn’t move because Draco stood up and countered the Fire Ape’s attack.
“Roaaar!”
Boom!
Draco used his claw, and the Fire Ape was astonished to see that the dragon in front of him didn’t flinch or show any damage from his normal attack.
Even his regular attack could obliterate a whole planet and easily kill his enemies.
He knew that Dragons had the sturdiest bodies, but even Dragons would be injured by his power.
Moreover, the dragon before him hadn’t even reached maturity and was only a Divine Monarch.
“Roooar!”
Draco was thrilled, and his body expanded to 500 meters.
He was now half the size of the overlord, but his aura was sharp, and he didn’t display any signs of backing down.
Draco had no intention of retreating, and it was the first time he could test the limits of his physical body.
Dave could see Draco’s excitement and understood the feeling of finding someone who could push his physical limits.
“Should I help Draco, Master?”
Kirito felt concerned about Draco facing the overlord alone. Even he didn’t have a chance to last against the Northern Overlord.
He didn’t want to die, and he didn’t want his master to waste energy reviving him. He also didn’t want to appear incompetent in front of Dave.
Kirito and Dave gazed into the distance, and Dave shook his head as he spoke.
“No, let him fight on his own. Let’s see how much he has improved.”
“Also, he’s my familiar, so how can he be ordinary?”
Dave smiled and inspected the changes in Draco’s body since their evolution. Thanks to their contract and connection, Draco’s Dragon God’s bloodline had merged with the Chaotic God Dragon Bloodline, allowing his body to adapt to any damage he received and continually strengthen it.
