Tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wings flapped, stirring up a gust of howling wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragging the young Golden Dragon, who lay as motionless as a dead pig, he casually tossed it into a relatively soft pile of sand within Dragon Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dull thump, dust flew into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rough treatment did nothing to awaken the sleeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, there was the sound of a vast snore, echoing through Dragon Valley like a continuous rumble of thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rising and falling, it reverberated endlessly in the open valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galos’s formidable body landed gently in the center of the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched his massive form covered in cold, Black-Red Dragon Scales, producing a slight sound of bones grinding, then turned his gaze to the elegantly standing Red Silver Dragon Deborah beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Alberto, something’s off with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deborah let out a light laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her slender and flexible Dragon Tail coiled around a boulder, then flicked it violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It accurately smashed into the side of Alberto’s golden head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boulder shattered instantly into countless tiny fragments, like a burst of dust fireworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Golden Dragon in the sand pile reacted hardly at all, its magical scales flickered for a moment and then dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk, really resilient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deborah tilted her head with interest, then casually waved her Dragon Claw in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold air condensed, forming hard ice crystals out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ice crystals fell like a dense rain of bullets on Alberto’s undefended body, making dull thudding sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deborah played this target practice game with a thoughtful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, \"Could it be that this guy made some weird or overly harsh oath?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galos nodded his massive head and said, \"Very likely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The skills of the Holy Dragon path are indeed vast and comprehensive, but they also have a big, unignorable problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fell on Alberto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oaths can grant Holy Dragons extraordinary resilience and Frenzy Power, but they also have an inevitable side effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy Dragons sometimes, out of impulse or a quest for perfection, end up making some overly harsh, or bizarre and incomprehensible oaths.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine out of ten, it’s one of those cases.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Galos wasn’t sure exactly what oath the young Golden Dragon had made, judging by his strange reaction, it certainly had a significant impact on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce battle with Alberto, while giving Galos a rare thrill and the joy of stretching his muscles, hadn’t quite gotten him fully entertained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did activate the Fierce Lightning state to unleash Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with Galos’s own power growth and his repeated activation and adaptation to Fierce Lightning, the cost and burden of this power had drastically changed for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, using Fierce Lightning felt like an anaerobic sprint, breathless and short-lived, unable to withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was more like a high-intensity but still sustainable ’aerobic’ exercise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could now maintain this state steadily for a longer period, not just a brief burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief conversation with the Red Silver Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slightly unfulfilled Red Iron Dragon turned and flapped his wings, flying to the ultra-heavy training ground designed for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galos inhaled deeply into his chest cavity, expanding, drawing in a massive amount of outside air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound resonated in his chest cavity like drums, thunder, or an engine, with Fierce Lightning simultaneously shining and flying on his body, placing a tremendous load on his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young Dragons on the other side were so taken aback just by hearing the rumble that they felt a chilling sensation, instinctively awed by such a spiritual deterrent, finding it hard to imagine that this sound was merely the heartbeat of a Red Iron Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhaling another hot breath afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the thumping heartbeat, the Red Iron Dragon rolled on the ground, executing one seemingly incredible yet aesthetic movement that perfectly combined power and technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, he trained his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for Dragons, naturally endowed with robust physiques, the heart remains the central hub for sustaining life and Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its importance is self-evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galos firmly believed that if this heart could break through its limits, achieve ultimate evolutionary transformation, then the enhancements and changes would be much more than just the organ itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would ignite a chain reaction like a fuse, ushering in many wondrous changes in the whole body’s life essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, based on his own insights and talent understanding, he had a strong intuition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time his next adolescent Dragon Sleep concluded, he would likely be able to seamlessly complete the evolution of his Dragon Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, his life’s essence would undergo a massive upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the last ray of sunlight disappeared below the horizon, and night deepened, silently shrouding Dragon Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galos, having finished his training, immersed his giant heat-emitting body into the chilly lake water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sizzle—Sizzlesizzle—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a red-hot brand plunged into cold water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless steaming white vapors surged fiercely from his body, and the entire lake surface turned misty from his quenching-like actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With eyes slightly closed, he felt the cold lake water enveloping his entire being, his massive form slowly sinking to the lakebed’s depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With increasing water pressure and decreasing temperature, his mind also became calm and focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strong, thickly scaled Dragon Claw gently touched his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the rugged, thick Scale Armor and muscular build resembling a Dragon, even without activating Fierce Lightning or Blood Burst Technique, Galos could clearly feel the rhythmic pulse of the Dragon Heart beneath his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am thirty-seven this year, nearly halfway through my teen years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In at most two years, I will迎来的 the immersive state of Dragon Sleep, and based on my past exceptionally lengthy sleep durations, I anticipate that upon waking, I shall formally step into my youth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galos’s inner reflection went: \"Timing-wise, this isn’t exactly convenient and could unavoidably affect my strategic resource acquisition plan amid the Federation’s civil war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But on second thought, it might work in my favor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Federation is a behemoth; its internal division and conflict won’t break out and resolve in a short span.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Duchies and Kingdoms entrenched in their places have their respective interests and long-term plans; they fear and check each other, unwilling to rashly ignite a full-out war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Until now, the only ones who officially declared war are the Abel Duchy and the Haltai Duchy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before I submerge into sleep during these precious times, it’s best to return to the Sel Wilderness, establish firm outposts on its borders, secure a foothold, embed the wedge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once I step into a more powerful young age, with the enhancement of strength, I would be better poised to partake in this grand feast with abundant Power and ease.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the lake depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galos retraced the path towards the future in his heart once more, then folded his wings to his sides, swaying his Dragon Tail as he swam upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, with a burst of water, he leaped out of the lake, flying towards the Burning Steel Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next up, like sand passing through an hourglass, time flowed quietly, day by day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iron Dragon Solrog, with the assistance of Dragons shedding their youthful naivety, orderly fulfilled his duty, managing the ever-expanding Affiliated Legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He urgently summoned the selected elite Warriors, meticulously accounted the mountainous logistical supplies and military equipment, preparing an extensive food reserve for the impending expedition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the Border Area, the Molten Iron Tribe operated akin to a precisely functioning war machine, embodying a sense of imminent, pent-up Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preparing comprehensively for the upcoming march to retake the Sel Wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-06-05T15:01:59.045Z",1,"novelbin.me","5a14cbf34227f3966a947b4063832e111e18cccbc964d1cfbf2ac96c2ec722e9","a-dragon-against-the-whole-world-chapter-336","a-dragon-against-the-whole-world-chapter-334",376,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-dragon-against-the-whole-world-cover.jpg"]
