If he went to that mine, would he have such treatment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, there was the issue of migration. The Elves and Half-Beastmen would naturally come along too. A distance of several hundred miles wasn’t close, and a large-scale move would easily cause unnecessary trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the most critical issue was the Silver Dragon and those two Human nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he went back to occupy the Mercury Mine, those bastards wouldn’t just sit back and watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would certainly use the Mercury Mine as leverage, as bait, to lure in more powerful Adventurers or major nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, even he might not be able to benefit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than being chased away in disgrace, he’d rather stay here as his overbearing Dragon, free and leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recent battle with the Silver Dragon made Land put away some of his underestimation for Humans, or should I say Casters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that battle, the Silver Dragon vividly demonstrated the might of Casters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that Silver Dragon had competed with him using just physical strength, Land was confident he could press it down and beat it senseless until the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after using magic, the Silver Dragon displayed astonishing strength, managing to contend with him equally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the blessing of the Child of the Earth, he wouldn’t even be a match for that Silver Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its magic was strong! Very strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started with the Ice Ball? Ended with the Ice Beam?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two spells, in Land’s impression, shouldn’t have such power, yet they exhibited an awesome might that drew his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had to make him consider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But again, could part of the reason be that it was a Giant Dragon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giant Dragons are naturally far stronger in Magic Power than Humans, and the Silver Dragon’s spells aligned with its attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the spells’ power surpassed normal expectations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could not help but make him ponder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sideways glance, Land saw the nearby Half-Beastmen and Elves and squinted slightly, shouting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys! Come over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing their master’s call, the group of Half-Beastmen and Elves, willing or not, hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master! What orders do you have?\" the Half-Beastmen asked cautiously. They feared that Land, injured from the recent battle, might erupt in rage and kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elves kept their heads low, silent, trying to lower their presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have heard that the Shamans among the Half-Beastmen are Casters skilled in Elemental Spells, so, I ask you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should also know how to use Scorching Beam and Flame Ball, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land looked over the Half-Beastmen, questioning aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Silver Dragon used Ice Skills, and their power increased greatly, as a Fire Element True Dragon, using Fire Skills should similarly increase in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I can use Scorching Beam, but Flame Ball is a Fourth Ring skill, and we don’t have anyone who can use it here. At most, we can only use the Third Ring Fireball Skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An older Shaman answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s alright if you can’t use the Fourth Ring skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You just have to teach me the skills you know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Shaman spoke, he began to teach Land the spells, starting with Scorching Beam, a Second Ring skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Land’s Magic Growth was only at 2 points, overall, it wasn’t bad, matching the standard of an ordinary Giant Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, learning it wouldn’t be too difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, the primary step to casting spells is engraving a Skill Model in your mental sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Skill Models are mostly passed down traditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancestors of these Half-Beastmen naturally have their own heritage, which Land just needed to imitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He eagerly studied with several Shamans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two young dragons felt relieved when they saw Land ignoring them and learning spells instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed they had dodged a bullet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, the Xiao Female Dragon looked down on the Half-Beastmen and Elves, subconsciously raising her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she appeared weak in front of Land, in front of these lower life forms, she felt the need to display the dignity of a Giant Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to regain the confidence she lost from Land’s earlier reprimand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she glared and growled at some idle Half-Beastmen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You group of lower lifeforms! Do you know your place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are the master’s slaves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Half-Beastmen replied quite naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then do you know who I am?\" The Xiao Female Dragon asked proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Beastmen exchanged confused glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen carefully! I am Fiona Saphis Oakben!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The younger sister of Land Saphis Oakben! The future Red Dragon King!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xiao Female Dragon spread her Dragon Wings, trying to appear more mighty and grand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, even when she raised her head, she wasn’t much taller than these Half-Beastmen, making her look less impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in the eyes of the Half-Beastmen who had always followed Land, she wasn’t intimidating but somewhat ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Beastmen blinked, somewhat puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... Have seen the great Red Dragon King, why aren’t you kneeling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xiao Female Dragon narrowed her eyes, a little dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are the master’s slaves, not yours, so why should we kneel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Half-Beastman looked at the Xiao Female Dragon, scratching his bald head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t heard that True Dragons would share their retinues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And honestly, this little dragon seems pretty weak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mu Qiang’s tribe, they didn’t feel much reverence toward the Xiao Female Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after seeing her cry like a pitiful little dog in front of their master...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastards! I’ll say it again! I, Fiona Saphis Oakben, am the younger sister of Land Saphis Oakben!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We share the same mother! The same father! Siblings who have depended on each other since childhood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring me is the same as ignoring Land!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll have Land strip your hides off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xiao Female Dragon fumed, her nostrils spouting steam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Lady Fiona! You are the master’s sister, of course, that makes you half our master too. If you want us to kneel, we shall kneel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An older, more cunning Half-Beastman quickly kneeled, and the other Half-Beastmen looked at each other before kneeling as well.\u003C\u002Fp>",1107,"2026-06-06T02:00:51.835Z",1,"novelbin.me","c4141075a1c5621dfbc301388d906c4436315dc6a35ccb66b6477a7d608f9ce3","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-62","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-60",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdragon-of-catastrophe-cover.jpg"]
