Chapter 222: Conquest

"Boom!"

The massive creature fell from the sky, slamming into the beach without any cushioning.

The fine, soft gauze clearly could not provide much cushioning, and Kaierluosi let out a painful wail.

The violent vibration agitated the wounds on its back, intensifying the gushing of blood.

It wanted to struggle to its feet to escape, but its limbs could hardly support it to stand.

"Whoosh!"

A figure landed not far away; it was Luoning.

When Kaierluosi hit the ground, he had kicked off the dragon's back with force to separate them, while simultaneously using the Wind Tentacle to tether himself in the air.

When only a dozen or so meters remained, he adjusted his posture and landed steadily on the beach.

"Hoo~"

Luoning let out Along breath; standing on solid ground again, he felt surprisingly at ease.

He walked slowly toward the dragon, and the latter, sensing his approach, let out a low growl as if warning Luoning not to come closer.

But the dragon was merely bluffing; it had absolutely no strength left to breathe dragon fire.

Looking at this massive creature at close range—its six-meter-long body and three-meter-long tail—even though the opponent could not move, Luoning still felt immense pressure.

But now, the advantage was his.

"You have failed, defeated by me."

Luoning arrived before the opponent, held his head high, and said sonorously: "In the World of Warcraft, the strong are respected. Since you have lost to me, you should submit to me!"

Perhaps Kaierluosi was angry, or perhaps it had no strength to respond; a huge blast of air sprayed from its nostrils, and Luoning smelled a fishy, foul odor.

The dragon was proud; it closed its eyes as if it had not heard.

"It seems you don't feel the pain yet!"

Luoning did not hold back; he gripped the Liuyan Sword, bringing forth an arc of flames that swept toward the opponent.

"Roar!"

A Level 5 Battle Skill, which caused it some pain.

Kaierluosi roared, struggling to stand up.

"Still want to fly?"

Luoning snorted coldly, leaped up, and landed on the opponent's back once more.

"Get down!"

He clenched his right fist, Battle Qi gathering upon it, and smashed it down onto the opponent's back with a boom.

A full-force strike from a Silver Knight was immensely powerful.

With a loud crash, the dragon, which had been struggling to stand, was pinned back to the ground.

"Since you won't submit, I will beat you until you do!"

One punch, two punches, three punches...

Luoning bombarded it with punch after punch; Kaierluosi let out low growls, but in the end, there was only a weak, listless whimper.

It only felt its eyelids growing heavier and heavier; its cold blue pupils showed obvious fatigue, lacking their previous cold, sharp luster.

Luoning jumped onto its head, then leaped down to stand before it again: "Do you submit?"

A look of grievance flashed in Kaierluosi's eyes; it had not expected that, having just escaped Natalia's control, it would fall into the hands of another person.

Why was its dragon life so miserable?

Mist filled its huge eyes, and two large tears flowed down.

It nodded slowly, then laid its head listlessly on the ground, expressing submission.

Dragons can shed tears too?

Seeing this scene, Luoning could not help but feel a bit awkward; had he been too harsh?

However, to make a Magic Beast submit, one must demonstrate one's strength.

Recalling the past ten or twenty minutes, Luoning had been in mortal danger at the slightest lapse, especially when charging into the sea; if he hadn't adjusted his state in time, he likely would have choked to death.

Being ruthless was necessary; if he didn't beat it into submission, it wouldn't work.

"Since that is the case, let us sign the Master-Servant Contract."

Luoning took the Contract Scroll out from his Space Ring.

At this moment, he could not help but sigh; he had once thought about using this scroll to contract a flying Magic Beast—any giant eagle, large hawk, or even a Griffin would do.

He never expected that, in the end, the object of his contract would be a dragon.

Although it was a dragon that had not yet grown up, its potential was immense.

When Kaierluosi saw this scroll, it could not help but reveal a look of resistance in its eyes; it was going to be controlled again.

Luoning sensed the opponent's resistance; if a Magic Beast resists during the contracting process, it is possible for the contract to fail.

He only had this one scroll; if it failed, the loss would be enormous for him.

"Dragons are proud; surely you will not easily go back on your own choice."

Luoning said: "If you cause a failure because of your regret, I will not give you a second chance."

"Rest assured, once you become my Magic Beast, you will possess a certain degree of freedom; at the very least, you won't be locked in a cave, never seeing the light of day."

He threatened it on one hand, forcing it not to dare disobey, while offering a sweet treat on the other to shake its resolve.

Regarding the threat, Kaierluosi did not have much of a response, but regarding this sweet treat, a glimmer of light actually appeared in its eyes.

It was somewhat ridiculous to say, but today's experience of soaring through the sky and diving into the sea was the first time in its life.

"Think about it, the world outside is so vast; if you don't go out and see it, how can you live up to your dragon life?"

Kaierluosi exhaled a breath; for the first time, it no longer looked at Luoning with proud disdain or hostility, and its eyes held a bit more of a look of submission.

"Come on, buddy, following me won't let you down!"

The Contract Scroll was spread out; even for Luoning, who was at the Chief Mage realm, the complex patterns on it would still make him feel dizzy if he stared at them seriously for a few seconds.

He felt this was no ordinary Spell Scroll, because Luoning had seen the Spell Scrolls for Fire Dragon Swallowing Heaven and Healing Spell, and although they were somewhat strenuous, they had not reached this level.

Putting away his thoughts, Luoning injected his Magic Power into the scroll, and suddenly, intense light bloomed from it.

A massive Magic Array Diagram appeared on the ground, and the light enveloped him and Frostfire Wing Carlos within it.

Hum~

The light of the Magic Array Diagram suddenly surged, and a cluster of light points flew out from the head of Frostfire Wing Carlos and landed on the position of Luoning's heart.

If he were to take off his clothes, he would be able to discover that there was already a small, exquisite dragon pattern on his chest.

In this instant, Luoning felt that he had established a connection with the other party.

This connection was somewhat similar to that with Ruidar, Maiken, and Aierlong; for instance, he could clearly see the other party's level progress:

【Frostfire Wing Carlos】: Level 5 (7349/7500) +

However, there were also differences.

Perhaps because it was a Master-Servant Contract, the connection between Luoning and Frostfire Wing Carlos on the soul level was even closer, and they could even complete mental communication within a certain distance.

On the other side, Frostfire Wing Carlos already knew that the human before it was its master, and it submitted to him from the soul.

At the moment the contract succeeded, a strand of dark aura was forced out from within its body, which made it look as if its entire body was emitting black mist.

Seeing this bizarre scene, Luoning immediately furrowed his brows, "What is going on?"

"It is the bizarre energy that Natalia left inside my body being dispelled... Master."

The voice of Frostfire Wing Carlos rang out.

At this moment, Luoning understood the Dragon Language; the other party should be a male dragon, as the voice was relatively deep and resonant.

"All these years, she has been using this bizarre energy to torture my body and mind, and as long as that damned Horn was blown, the bizarre energy within my body would begin to churn, forcing me to obey her orders."

Frostfire Wing Carlos looked at Luoning, a trace of relief in its eyes.

It had not expected that signing a contract with the other party would actually be able to expel the bizarre energy within its body, allowing it to no longer be tortured from now on.

Looking at it this way, it seemed not bad at all?

"Natalia... and who exactly are her subordinates?"

Since Luoning could now communicate with Frostfire Wing Carlos, he asked the question he had always wanted to figure out.

As the dragon involved, Frostfire Wing Carlos should know the answer, right? (End of chapter)
