Even with its alchemical speed-enhancing tools, it remained slightly slower than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After further testing moments ago,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He confirmed its reaction speed was lacking, its practical experience limited, and now understood the effects of its golden chain alchemical tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a naive Brass Dragon fresh out of its nest, arrogant due to possessing some alchemical tools but lacking real combat experience—Garoth made his assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those alchemical tools on its body will be mine. Let it experience the cruelty of the wilderness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glint flashed in Garoth's eyes as he changed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally uninterested in engaging the Brass Dragon, his probing revealed it far weaker than anticipated—and loaded with treasures. The situation had completely changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brass Dragon continued its relentless pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, the red iron young dragon folded its wings, tore through thick clouds in a steep dive, and abruptly vanished from the Brass Dragon's sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Running out of energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brass Dragon perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its view, Garoth's heavy, muscular body must consume tremendous magical energy during flight. Now exhausted while it remained fresh with alchemical enhancements—the perfect opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Changing course, the Brass Dragon dove downward, neck scales fluttering in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, it landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did it hide?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scanning the surroundings, the Brass Dragon noticed an abandoned mine ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching cautiously, it peered down and spotted several scattered dragon scales at the rugged mine bottom—as if accidentally scraped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiding in such a place—typical of a vulgar evil dragon's taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Watcher's Necklace—the thick golden chain around its neck—activated, emitting protective light that covered its entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Folding its wings, the Brass Dragon spiraled down to the mine bottom, squinting while scanning the dark mine shafts for any sign of Garoth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black rocks beneath its feet suddenly trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A foul wind howled from the largest mine shaft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evil hybrid dragon! Come face me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wary Brass Dragon's eyes gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, it realized something was wrong—the tremors were too violent, and the shaft's commotion suggested something massive approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An enormous dark shape burst from the shaft into sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An exceptionally large Rockgrub worm emerged, its meat-grinder maw filled with interlocking fangs lunging at the Brass Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Worm King itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been hunted by Garoth multiple times here, the Worm King now reacted aggressively to any disturbance—a fact Garoth knew well and exploited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Treacherous dragon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brass Dragon panicked, realizing it had been tricked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It never expected the red iron young dragon—looking even brawnier than a red dragon—to possess something other than muscle between its ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brass Dragon immediately opened its maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its tongue curled, revealing an exquisite silver ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking half a step back, the Frost Silver Ring on its tongue tip suddenly glowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freeze!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick icy current erupted from the Brass Dragon's mouth—more accurately from the ring—resembling a silver dragon's breath, directly striking the charging Worm King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly coated in frost,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followed by ear-grinding cracking sounds as the ice layer on its carapace shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Worm King continued its assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing this slowed moment, the Brass Dragon flamed wings beat furiously as it desperately ascended, narrowly avoiding follow-up attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before it could relax,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black-red dragon shape suddenly erupted from the ground nearby, wings spread like giant guillotine blades shrieking through air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brass Dragon's heart lurched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It spat orange-red gel-like acid that expanded midair into a spiderweb pattern descending upon Garoth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiery Breath surged from Garoth's jaws, igniting and neutralizing the acid's corrosive viscosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wing gusts fanned the flames into a billowing cape-like trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garoth advanced with unstoppable momentum toward the Brass Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breath hitching, facing Garoth directly, the Brass Dragon finally realized its mistake—this evil dragon was far stronger than imagined, and worse, cunning and treacherous—destined to become a supreme villain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before it, the Watcher's Necklace conjured thicker light barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brass Dragon braced for impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garoth's right wing tilted, veering sharply sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magical energy channeled into his wings triggered a speed burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Normally, Garoth relied purely on his well-trained wings for flight, unlike other dragons requiring magical enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arcing through air,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garoth nearly instantly flanked the Brass Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tail muscles tensed like steel cables, the hidden Lightning Tail Ring between his scales activated, coating his tail in crackling serpentine arcs while electrically stimulating muscles for explosive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Brass Dragon's openly displayed gear,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garoth kept his tail ring concealed between scales when unused—never showing off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Executing a forward flip-like maneuver,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red iron young dragon's electrified tail traced a full-moon arc before crashing onto the Brass Dragon's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light barrier shattered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Watcher's Necklace's glow extinguished, depleted of stored energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakened tail strike still tore through brass scales, leaving a gruesome, bloody gash across its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brass Dragon screeched, whirling around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It opened its maw, the Frost Silver Ring on its tongue glowing again as chill rapidly gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against a red-iron hybrid,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frost attacks from this ring dealt double damage—the Brass Dragon's trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exposed tricks lose their surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anticipating this, Garoth headbutted the Brass Dragon's jaw with a dull thud before it could release the frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forced mouth shut, the Brass Dragon couldn't counter immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garoth exhaled thick white gas point-blank, enveloping the Brass Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His iron dragon heritage's alternate breath—Hypnotic Breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creatures failing willpower checks against it enter sleepwalking states, answering any questions honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder iron dragons could even puppet enemies directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiery Breath, Electric Fire Breath, Hypnotic Breath—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garoth's three breath weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dosed with hypnotic gas, the Brass Dragon's vision blurred drowsily, but its older, resilient mind resisted immediate control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garoth swiped at its neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clink-clatter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparkling objects flew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Gems and coins dragons often stash beneath neck scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garoth's wings scooped them up midair, then struck repeatedly to dislodge more treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Brass Dragon recovered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garoth yanked off its golden necklace, snatched wing rings with lightning speed, pried open its jaws, straightened its tongue, and plucked the ring away.\u003C\u002Fp>",1021,"2026-06-03T10:02:46.560Z","2026-06-03T10:02:53.018Z",1,"novelbin.me","a33724901339ba6928c190f59b8ebe993ad1aa21574960de1cb7e7629f1df252","defeating-the-world-with-the-power-of-one-dragon-chapter-31","defeating-the-world-with-the-power-of-one-dragon-chapter-29",561,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdefeating-the-world-with-the-power-of-one-dragon-cover.jpg"]
