flew across the sky, passing through lush forests, over the crystal-clear green lake, and endless wilderness, gently slowing down in the process, and finally landing on a jagged cliff, preening its feathers while peering down below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was like a huge circular crater, seemingly struck by a meteor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The central area had forests and rivers, surrounded by steep and jutting cliffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black feathered eagle tilted its head, puzzled by the sight reflected in its view— at the bottom of the crater was a creature constantly ramming its body against the mountain rocks with all its might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From head to tail, the creature was about six meters long, possessing scales, horns, wings, and a long tail— unmistakably a young dragon, though its appearance was quite unique, not resembling common types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its head was similar to a red dragon, equipped with swept-back dragon horns typical of a red dragon, but different in that the base of the horns was encased in shovel-shaped metal bones, forming a structure akin to the angles of a knight’s helmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon’s scales were layered in tiers, with a silver sheen against a black background, marked with subtle patterns that gleamed with a lava-like dark red glow flowing across a metal plate, giving off a sharp gleam at the edges, refracting an obsidian-like cold light as they moved with its breath, possessing an overall strong metallic texture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being a young dragon, it carried a sense of might and robustness far surpassing ordinary beasts, having especially strong limbs, wings, and tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With wings broader than those of ordinary young dragons, Galos swung to accelerate, crashing into the bottom of the cliff before him, sending debris flying, followed by swirling dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, pulling his head and the front half of his body from the rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galos shook off his dragon scales, flicking away the small stones stuck in the crevices and the dust adhered to the surface, then stopped his puzzling mountain-climbing antics seen by the black feathered eagle, and rested by the large hole he had just rammed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been unknowingly six years since I became part of the Dragon Race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galos silently mused in his heart, looking down at his dragon claw, opening and clenching it repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, or rather, he wasn’t of the ordinary Dragon Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First of all, he was a hybrid of red dragon and Iron Dragon, apparent from his distinctive appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although red Iron Dragon hybrids are rare, they are within the realm of normalcy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red dragons and Iron Dragons are quintessential Evil Dragons, all of which uphold the values of strength and power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One is the leader of the Five-Colored Dragons, while the other is the head of the Iron Dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although typically, these two types of dragons have fierce competition, often displeasing each other and erupting into fights upon encounter, as dragons that equally respect strength, a battle could turn into a courtship, sparking passion— it’s not impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for normalcy being claimed lies primarily in the fact that within this body of a young red Iron Dragon, there lies a human soul transmigrated from another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Galos is a transmigrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t fathom why he transmigrated, nor did he ponder it much, as there was no point, especially since the dragon’s body was far mightier than a human’s, and Galos, reborn anew, had long accepted the reality of becoming part of the Dragon Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being influenced by the Dragon’s Legacy, living six years as part of the Dragon Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His human soul and dragon nature now merged, inseparable, forming a personality that primarily embraced dragon nature, enjoyed pursuing strength and power, yet possessing human logical wisdom as well; he had the resilience and mightiness of dragons yet lacked excessive arrogance and conceit, or a pathological obsession with treasure that often manifested as negative traits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In summary, he absorbed the essence, discarding the impurities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his dragon claw, Galos carefully stroked the head he had pounded against the mountain for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The texture of the fine scales on the face armor and the dragon horns on the head seemed more solid upon touching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though not very noticeable, my body certainly grew a bit stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young dragon nodded contentedly, swaying his tail laden with knife-like dragon scales, carving dense scratches into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the six years, Galos continuously studied his dragon body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the inherent divine traits of the dragon body, he was pleasantly surprised to discover— perhaps due to his hybrid red Iron blood and his human soul— a wondrous, unknown reaction occurred, granting him an innate talent greater than other dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— Adaptive Evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This talent wasn’t obvious; the initial effect was minimal and unnoticeable, with Galos being unaware for the first two years he possessed such talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, it’s limited; requiring day-to-day accumulation of numerous exercises and adaptability before acquiring effective evolution, and the extent isn’t large, demanding equivalent consumption in food for energy replenishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over several years, it only made Galos’ physique considerably stronger than normal young dragons, giving his scale armor a metallic quality already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Galos’ usage and advancing age, this talent itself also grows and evolves, with every year’s effect surpassing the last— the limit is yet unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it’s widely known, all evolution-related talents are hugely advantageous, filling Galos with hope for his future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the Dragon Race’s long lifespan, perpetually growing stronger as age increases, coupled with my adaptive evolution talent, one day, I can evolve and enhance myself to an unimaginable level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galos happily contemplated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head to glance at the thick cliff, the robust young dragon extended his limbs, creating distance before repeatedly crashing against it, sending dust up and debris scattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful future was merely a fantasy for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the present...... it’s still time to continue mountain climbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of Galos’ daily training methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other methods included, but were not limited to, soaring into the sky before free-falling down, jumping into a bonfire to roast himself, having the Iron Dragon Lady whip him with her tail, holding his breath relentlessly underwater trying to suffocate himself, and so forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flowed by slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun gradually leaned west, finally engulfed in the embrace of distant mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night sky, adorned with countless stars, descended, with one full and one crescent moon simultaneously radiating bright moonlight, making the world in the dark not appear gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mountain climbing training ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galos left the noticeably collapsed and sunken crater he had created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such craters were many in number around the area, all Galos’ handiwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrival of Galos by the mirror-like clear lake scared away numerous birds and beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t bothered, drinking copiously as he pleased, afterward raising his head to gaze at the twin moons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these two moons, one undergoes phases and changes with the sky, while the other remains eternally a round jade disc, unchanging— the ’false moon.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The false moon is actually an outer-magic fortress constructed by the Elf Empire in Naoxir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this false moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are numerous twinkling stars that appear no different from others but are, in reality, various ’satellites’ crafted by the numerous empires through magical means.\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-05T15:01:58.766Z","novelbin.me","9946fd2bcfa571e2c9e429f11395ad74236a1b0aa7a9de9099f6d3e0dcd6804c","a-dragon-against-the-whole-world-chapter-2","a-dragon-against-the-whole-world-chapter-376",376,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-dragon-against-the-whole-world-cover.jpg"]
