An instant later, a roar filled with boundless fury, like an erupting volcano, thundered across the entire battlefield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the roar, it bellowed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lowly worms! You... are courting death!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Dragon’s giant, golden eyes, once somewhat dazed, were now completely clear. In their place burned a tangible, raging fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Raylo’s great surprise, it actually spoke in a human tongue. Its voice was sonorous and majestic, carrying the indisputable air of a king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It... It can talk?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of astonishment went through Raylo’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Golden Dragon clearly wasn’t giving anyone much time to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been blindsided by the Demon Serpent Priest’s Spiritual Secret Technique, falling into a state of temporary mental confusion. For a proud Giant Dragon, this was an utter humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse still, a swarm of ant-like Snake-men had dared to crawl onto its body, attempting to defile its noble form!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Dragon roared, its massive body shaking violently. Then, its golden Dragon Wings, forged like steel, flapped hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SPLAT! SPLAT!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an autumn wind scattering fallen leaves, the dozen or so Snake-man Warriors on its body and surrounding it were sent flying by the immense force before they could even scream. Some exploded into a mist of blood mid-air, while others were flung dozens of meters away like broken sacks, landing with shattered bones and no signs of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a single instant, all threats around it were swept clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Dragon shook its massive head, seemingly suffering from some lingering dizziness, but a towering rage had now fully taken hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It snapped its head up, its eyes burning with golden flames, and fixed its gaze on the Demon Serpent Priest battling the Starfall Knight on the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was you, you vile insect, who dared to ambush this Knight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Dragon roared, its wings spreading wide as its colossal body once again took to the sky. This time, it held nothing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its massive maw snapped open. A torrent of golden Flame, thicker and more concentrated than any before, surged toward the hill ahead. It was like a beam of Divine Punishment pouring down from the heavens, an unstoppable force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Flame was no longer just intense heat; it even contained a hint of the Power of Law. Space itself seemed to distort wherever it passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Serpent Priest, already struggling against the Starfall Knight, suddenly felt a terrifying pressure descend from above, making its very soul tremble. It looked up in horror to see a boundless sea of golden fire dyeing the entire sky gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! Father God, save me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Serpent Priest shrieked in despair, trying to activate the Power of the vertical pupil on its forehead again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the face of the Golden Dragon’s full-powered, rage-fueled attack, all its struggles were pale and futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment before the Dragon Breath descended, the Starfall Knight transformed into a streak of blue starlight and was recalled to Raylo’s side, narrowly avoiding the blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"RUMBLE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The torrent of golden Flame precisely covered the entire hill, lasting for nearly a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying heat melted rock and turned soil to glass. Under the horrifying Dragon Breath, it was as if the hill had been forcibly erased from the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Dragon Breath gradually dissipated, all that remained was a massive, scorched crater, wisps of black smoke curling into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Three-eyed Snake-man Priest, Evil Eye, along with the remaining Snake-man Warriors by its side, they had been instantly reduced to ash, leaving not a single trace of their existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their leader utterly annihilated, the last remaining Snake-man Warriors on the battlefield finally broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They let out terrified hisses and, ignoring all orders, scattered in a panic like headless flies, their only thought to get as far away from the terrifying Golden Dragon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Dragon clearly had no intention of stopping. It let out a triumphant cry, spread its wings, and gave chase to the fleeing Snake-men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every dive, every swipe of its claws, and every burst of Dragon Breath claimed the lives of a dozen Snake-men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sir Luke retracted his Iron Blood Domain, panting slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding back the tide of Snake-men alone had taken a considerable toll on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched the Golden Dragon unleash its might in the distance, slaughtering the remaining Snake-men, a complex look in his eyes. The Golden Dragon’s Power was truly unfathomable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo also put away the Soul Horn as the figure of the Starfall Knight gradually faded, melting into the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later, the Golden Dragon seemed to have finally vented its rage and ceased the pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It descended slowly from the sky, its massive body landing not far from Raylo and Luke, making the ground tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Dragon lowered its head slightly, its golden, flame-wreathed eyes gazing at Raylo and Luke. The previous rage and fury had largely subsided, replaced by a look of scrutiny and... gratitude?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human Knights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Dragon spoke in the human tongue again. Its voice was still sonorous, but with less pressure and more tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your aid in my time of crisis. If you had not acted when you did, this Knight might truly have fallen to these despicable Snake-men today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are too kind, Your Excellency. These Snake-men are our common enemy; we couldn’t just stand by and watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo also spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was a small effort on our part. It is our honor to fight alongside you, Your Excellency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This Golden Dragon can actually speak the human language,’ he mused inwardly. ’That’s quite rare.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If Moonlight and Coal Ball could learn to speak like the Golden Dragon, communication would be so much easier.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Golden Dragon nodded its huge head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It pondered for a moment, then with a flick of its claw, two items shimmering with a magical aura appeared in its grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Knight never remains indebted to others. I gift these two items to you both as a token of my gratitude.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, it gently placed the two items in front of Raylo and Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floating before Luke was a Kite Shield of ancient design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main body of the Shield was Dark Gold, its edges inlaid with a heavy black metal. The center of the Shield face was carved with the lifelike head of a roaring lion, exuding an aura as heavy as a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the ’Lion King’s Guardian’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Dragon explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is a spoil of war I collected long ago. Not only does it possess supreme physical defense, but when its wielder takes a heavy blow, it will automatically trigger ’Earth Roar’ once, knocking back surrounding enemies and briefly stunning them. It should be a perfect fit for a valiant Knight such as yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Tier Five expert like Luke showed a flash of pleasant surprise in his eyes. He reached out and took the Shield. It was heavy in his hands, and a steady, immense Power flowed from it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1249,"2026-05-30T16:08:59.262Z","2026-06-01T04:31:39.774Z",1,"novelbin.me","17cb2a4b679feeee223062271ebc3dd7f80c9bce6caca6a9ae9979d293d0f419","giant-dragon-lord-starting-from-daily-intelligen-chapter-159","giant-dragon-lord-starting-from-daily-intelligen-chapter-157",391,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgiant-dragon-lord-starting-from-daily-intelligen-cover.jpg"]
