Yes! Master! Another merchant caravan is here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! I’m on my way! You guys follow behind!\" Land shouted excitedly, unable to contain himself as he gave a mighty flap of his dragon wings and soared into the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, he saw his target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blonde woman, looking at her gear, totaling 39 Gold Talers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brunette woman, tsk~ 158 Gold Talers! Impressive! Impressive indeed! This woman is loaded! Wonderful, simply wonderful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the equipment of these two women alone is nearly 200 Gold Talers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paid no mind to the gear of several guards, and the person in the middle with a hood hiding their face was similarly ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them was a carriage carrying two crates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t see inside these two crates, but they were filled with magic’s aura!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be a treasure beyond measure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land was filled with anticipation about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahahaha~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying in the sky, Land couldn’t help but laugh heartily at the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an elegant spin, accompanied by a slight tremor of the ground, he blocked the caravan’s path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friends, welcome to my domain! I am the great True Dragon! Land Saphis Oakben!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land spread his dragon wings, his gigantic form and fierce demeanor sent the horses used for travel into a frenzy of terror, with some fainting, some collapsing, and others going wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards sat on the ground in fear, shouting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon! Giant Dragon! By the gods! Why must we encounter a Giant Dragon? Didn’t they say there were no Giant Dragons here? Was it all lies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pushed against the ground with their feet, slowly retreating while questioning the women ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, this terrified display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land showed a satisfied expression, finding himself increasingly fond of the involuntary fear these small creatures displayed in his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would bring genuine satisfaction to the Five-Colored Dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making them feel his mighty presence truly like never before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was the situation with the others?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were the blonde and brunette women so calm upon meeting him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this confidence from backing? Could he have misjudged them? Were these two actually experts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemed impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were ordinary humans, looking very young, and certainly couldn’t be experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Giant Dragon, his Demon-Breaking Eye easily discerned they were purebred humans, not other races transformed by Transformation Skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were bluffing him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land smirked disdainfully, wanting to toy with these little critters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhh! Uh uh uh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange noise suddenly came from the cargo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Causing Land to show a hint of surprise in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the cargo was a living being. If so, its value couldn’t be guaranteed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps prisoners of war? Such beings were hardly worth any money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they were princes or princesses, perhaps he could extort their backing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe other magical creatures? The value unknown?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land thought of many things in that instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evil Dragon! Finally, I meet you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde girl gnashed her teeth, glaring at the Giant Dragon with a look of deep-seated hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Land pause, then nonchalantly rub his chin scales with his claw, causing a clattering sound, and said somewhat carelessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You seem angry? Let me guess? Your lover or relative died at my hands?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm! A change in expression, so it’s true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry though, I really don’t remember.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should understand, once you step on too many ants, it’s easy for a dragon to forget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could you trouble to tell me about your background? And who did I step on to death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evil Dragon! What an Evil Dragon! Fine, I’ll tell you! Six months ago! You should remember the noble who entered the mine cave with his guards! I am that noble’s daughter! My name is Viss Ackman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m here for revenge! Evil Dragon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde girl said hatefully, raising the magic staff in her hand, pointing directly at the Giant Dragon’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mine cave?\" Land paused, showing astonishment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What mine cave, I don’t know about that? Did you mistake me for another dragon? While I feel no guilt for stepping on ants and don’t care, I have no intention of taking the blame for another dragon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still trying to argue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde girl was furious, quickly running to the cargo, opening the cover to reveal what was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside lay a young Red Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red Dragon hatchling was completely bound with rope like a cocoon, unable to move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fiona? These fools actually caught you? Hardly can believe you haven’t been killed? To thank you, I’ll make sure to leave you a whole corpse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land growled, full of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhh! Uh uh uh~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little Female Dragon could only see the wooden crate wall ahead, but hearing Land call her name, wailed frantically with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body tried with all its might, like a fish out of water, flipping and crashing into the crate wall, making thumping sounds, evidently hoping Land would come save her soon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since this box holds the fool Fiona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other must contain the idiot Ed?\" Land asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhh! Uh uh uh!!!\" The other box emitted wailing and strange sounds, confirming Land’s guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well! Seeing these two hatchlings, you still want to deny? It was those two who lost to my father, pretended surrender, and lured him into the cave, where you killed him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You still want to argue?\" The blonde girl glared venomously at Land, opening the other box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside indeed was the Little Black Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land narrowed his eyes slightly, looking deeply at the little Female Dragon and Little Black Dragon: \"Fiona! Ed! It seems during my three years of dormant rest, you hid quite a few things from me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two hatchlings shivered at his words, dared not make another sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough! Idle talk is over, it’s about time to depart, tell me, do you want to go to the Abyss or Hell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land took a gentle step forward, slightly lowering his head, exhaling a hot breath towards the crowd!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This frightened one of the guards enough to wet his pants! The stench made Land show a slight disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evil Dragon! Do you think you’ve got us? Hahaha! Ridiculous! Did you really think I came before you without a single preparation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde girl sneered repeatedly, finally giving a low call to the cloaked figure:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This took Land slightly aback, as he stepped back, growing alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the cloaked figure made no response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde girl raised her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An astonishing voice came from within the cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amir! This Evil Dragon is yours!\" The blonde girl declared heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... oh! Of course! Don’t worry, Viss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cloaked person nodded, then lifted the cloak, revealing their true form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evidently a silver-haired Elf, with exceptional looks and elegance.\u003C\u002Fp>",1124,"2026-06-06T02:00:51.835Z",1,"novelbin.me","eeaf011bd6b104a9c4948757b0580864d66f895f16bc5b26c0ab7a1e2fb1e81b","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-55","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-53",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdragon-of-catastrophe-cover.jpg"]
