Chapter 51 The Legendary Dragon Who Admitted Defeat and Decided to Submit

Clearly, the Demon Flame Dragon's previous incomprehensible roars were pleas for mercy, not screams of agony. However, since Night City didn't have a "perfect persuader" like Yosuke Shima, he couldn't understand the Demon Flame Dragon's language.

Meanwhile, the Demon Flame Dragon, who had been relentlessly beaten by Night City, was filled with resentment. As a proud dragon, bowing down to a human and even preparing to acknowledge him as its master was undoubtedly a humiliation.

However, faced with the threat of death, Demon Flame Dragon suddenly felt that mere dignity meant nothing at all.

Heaven knows where these humans suddenly appeared from, especially the white-haired human. The Demon Flame Dragon even seriously suspected that the other party was not human at all, because it had never seen a human so fiercely pinning its giant dragon to the ground and hammering it.

What made the Demon Flame Dragon even more speechless was that, because of the threat of death and the power of Night City, it was originally prepared to bow its head and submit, but the human man on its body showed no intention of letting go. He continued to swing his fists, which were filled with magical energy, and kept hitting it.

It wasn't until the other party's "half-orc" companion came over and said those words that Demon Flame Dragon finally realized that it wasn't that the other party was ignoring his submission, but that they couldn't understand each other's languages, making normal communication impossible.

"That's right, this is normal operation. I am, after all, a legendary dragon. Now I am submitting to a mere human. It is impossible for the other party not to be tempted. The reason why the other party could not understand my words before is that this makes sense."

This was what the Demon Flame Dragon thought to itself. At the same time, it comforted itself, even though it had chosen to submit, as a legendary dragon, it was a prominent figure even among the dragon race. Even if it had to submit to the human in front of it, it would not choose to form a slave contract.

There are many ways to submit, but in order to survive, the Demon Flame Dragon is prepared to sign an equal contract with Night City, similar to that of a partner.

To be able to sign such an equal contract with a legendary dragon like it is an honor that a mere human should feel, and even be grateful for.

"Night City, this Demon Flame Dragon says that if you're willing to spare its life, it's willing to sign a contract with you, becoming your partner and friend. If either of you needs help, you can assist each other."

The Demon Flame Dragon roared and said a lot, but Ye Cheng couldn't understand a single word. However, Shima Yosuke, who was standing next to him, thoughtfully acted as a translator.

"It wants to become my partner? What good will that do me?"

They're supposed to help each other? With its pathetic strength, what can it possibly do for me? And when it needs help, I'm expected to lend it a hand. No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who's at a disadvantage, right?

"In that case, we might as well just kill him. Judging from his size and strength, the materials he carries should be much more valuable than the previous Demon Poison Dragon."

Night City couldn't understand the howls of the Demon Flame Dragon, but the Demon Flame Dragon could understand human language. When it heard what Night City said, the Demon Flame Dragon was completely dumbfounded.

I am the Demon Flame Dragon, a legendary being that can destroy the heavens and the earth, bring all kinds of disasters, and even stop the babies on the continent from crying. Now I am willing to lower myself and sign an equal contract with a human, and I am still being looked down upon?

Is this human out of their mind? Just because they want the material on my body, they're planning to kill me?

Isn't a living dragon henchman far more useful than a bunch of dragon corpses that can only be sold for money?

"What? You think I'll change my mind if you stare at me with wide eyes and act cute?"

Then tell me, was there anything I said wrong? Your so-called equal contract must mean something like a fighting partner, right?

Now that you're the one being beaten to the ground by me, do you think that my strength is far greater than yours?

If we encounter an enemy that even I cannot defeat, do you think you can be of any help even if I bring along your so-called legendary dragon?

On the contrary, if you encounter a powerful opponent, and I have to turn around and help you, no matter how you look at it, I'm the one who suffers. So why should I accept your advice?

Hearing Night City's analysis, the Demon Flame Dragon was stunned. Although it wanted to refute, it found that it could not find a reason to do so... It was indeed a legendary dragon with extremely high prestige, and in the eyes of other humans, it was definitely an unattainable existence. However, the key point was that the humans in front of it could not be judged by the standards of normal humans.

Seeing Ye Cheng take the "Frozen God Sword" from Cui's hand and brandish it on his body, seemingly looking for a suitable place to bleed, the Demon Flame Dragon struggled and roared again.

Upon hearing that the Demon Flame Dragon had something to say, the Shima Yosuke brand translator, which was standing nearby, immediately began to perform its duties.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't you think it's pretty cool to have a legendary dragon as a companion?"

"You should know that a dragon like me is someone you humans revere. If you were to ride me into battle, you would surely receive the awe and worship of the other humans!"

Since ancient times, dragons have been the most feared and revered powerful creatures by humankind, so heroes are generally inseparable from dragons.

Heroes who can slay dragons are certainly impressive, but those who can subdue dragons are clearly even more formidable. This is what the Demon Flame Dragon is trying to convey at this moment.

"Unfortunately, I don't like to show off, and I'm more interested in money than in showing off in front of ordinary people."

Night City showed no interest in the Demon Flame Dragon's seduction and, having already found his footing, raised the Frozen God Sword, ready to bleed the Demon Flame Dragon.

"Alright, alright, I understand, you cunning human. I am willing to submit to you completely, not in an equal contract, but in an unequal slave contract!"

"If you're willing to spare my life, I, the legendary dragon—the Demon Flame Dragon—may acknowledge you as my master. Is that alright?"

There was no other way. Although the proud Demon Flame Dragon did not want to compromise, it was now at a critical juncture of life and death. If it did not back down, it would really lose its life.

Compared to one's own life, what is dignity worth?

Didn't you hear how ruthless this human was before? As a fellow dragon, Demon Poison Dragon and Demon Flame Dragon also know each other. Demon Poison Dragon is a rising star among the dragons, and in a few hundred years, he might be able to reach its current level.

However, it's not hard to tell from what those people just said that this junior of mine has probably already met a tragic end.

In order to avoid following in the footsteps of the Demon Poison Dragon and having its parts used as human equipment, the Demon Flame Dragon had no choice but to make a final concession.
