I am a wicked dragon, and you want me to fall into goodness?

Deep within the goblin's lair, a damp, musty smell permeated the air.

In the center of the narrow stone hall, two figures were arguing fiercely.

The burly goblin leader gripped a gleaming bone axe, his muscular arms bulging with veins, and roared in fury, "Compromise? Bow down to that dragon? Impossible!"

"Our tribe was slaughtered by that evil dragon, so many of our people and children were killed, priest, and you still want me to submit to him!"

Garrett kicked one of his men to the ground, and the surrounding goblins cried out and shrank back, falling silent.

On the stone platform at the top of the stone hall, the old goblin priest stood hunched over.

Silvery-white hair clung messily to his scalp, his cloudy eyes stared at the leader above, and his withered fingers gripped a wooden staff wrapped with animal bones tightly.

"Garret, the survival of the tribe is more important than your pride!"

"That evil dragon has been circling in the sky for more than ten days, and today it has directly blocked the entrance to the cave. Its power is simply beyond our ability to contend with."

"Resistance means death, compromise means life?" The leader suddenly raised his bone axe and pointed it at the old and weak goblins huddled in the corner of the cave.

"It's a dragon! Greedy and cruel, even if we submit to it, it will still treat us as food and tear us apart one by one!"

"Rather than be slaughtered like livestock, we'd rather fight it!"

"We have dozens of warriors, poisoned weapons, and the witchcraft blessed by your priesthood. We may very well have a fighting chance!"

The dragon devouring its servants is a basic operation; it will devour some when angry and some when happy, but it will almost never devour its leader.

These creatures that served as vassals of the evil dragon also acted as a food reserve.

As a leader, watching your child being devoured must be unsettling.

Aside from the kobolds, which race or tribe would willingly become servants of a dragon unless they were starving?

However, they all succumbed to the dragon's overwhelming power.

The priest coughed violently, his thin body swaying precariously, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

He didn't want to compromise either.

But after the blue dragon demanded that the Bone Club tribe submit, and they refused, it continued to attack groups that went out to find food.

The methods were extremely cruel.

The creature swooped down from high above, killed a goblin, and disappeared into the sky without pausing.

In a sense, the two sides never fought a direct battle, yet the large tribe had already lost many children.

Poseidon was hovering above the goblin's lair.

The vertical pupil stared at the goblins still hesitating and looking around at the cave entrance. They had been blocked for too long, and their food was almost gone.

Suddenly, the magic mirror on his chest became hot, and its flattering and deceitful voice alerted Puse to the strange situation around him.

"My master, you've been spied on again."

"Damn it! That griffin dares to offend the great dragon! Its brutal claws will tear his flesh to shreds!!"

The magic mirror enjoys using its abilities to spy on other people, but it hates being watched by anything other than the mirror.

It's just that hypocritical.

"And another thing... there are two points of life energy around that are stronger than yours. The other one is your sister, in the forest to the north."

Puse hovered above the clouds and nodded: "So, Green came along too; she wanted to join in the fun!"

It's not surprising that Green often followed him around spying on him; he was easily spotted.

After all, the magic that Grimm awakened was only a minor illusion.

Trying to use this low-level magic to conceal the golden dragon's enormous body is simply wishful thinking.

Unlike Pusser, who possesses the fairy's miraculous creation, the "Dewdrop," which grants her the ability to reduce her presence and become invisible.

"Which direction is that griffin in?"

For the past ten days or so, Pu Se has been constantly watched by this gaze.

At first, he thought it was just some ignorant low-level magical beast and didn't take it seriously.

But it wasn't until the magic mirror exposed the opponent's true strength that he realized it.

This forest is located on the opposite side of the river bend and has its own owner.

This gaze was that of the lord of this land scrutinizing the intruders, cold and arrogant, carrying an undeniable desire for control.

Poseidon was the intruder.

"On the ridge of Broken Cloud Peak in the southeast, Master!" The mirror's surface spun rapidly, and blue light outlined a clear spatial contour.

"That guy is curled up on the protruding rock, his gaze fixed on you, clearly spying on you and the goblin nest below!"

Puse flapped its wings and, under the cover of the clouds, quietly turned to the southeast, where it indeed saw a dark gray peak standing in the distance.

The mountaintop is bare, with only a few jagged boulders standing out abruptly.

In a hollow of one of the rocks, a golden figure lay, so small that it was impossible to spot without a close look.

The griffin was more slender than an adult griffin, suggesting it was in its juvenile stage. It was also much more robust than Puse at this moment, comparable to Grimm.

Its sharp, hawk-like beak was slightly closed, and its golden pupils shrank to slits, clearly gathering strength in secret, as if waiting for some opportune moment.

"Oh, look at me! This griffin has mistaken me for prey!"

A golden griffin!

The Golden Griffin is the royal family of the Griffin clan. They are born with a high level of wind element control and can even rival adult dragons when they reach adulthood!

Although it is not yet an adult, it should not be underestimated, especially since it has a strong ability to restrain evil creatures.

The magic mirror's voice became urgent, and a string of data flashed rapidly across its surface: "Its speed is incredibly fast, and with the aid of wind elements, it's terrifying."

"Great master, judging from the life energy of this griffin, the challenge level is about level 7 to 9, which is high level."

"Whether it's level 7 or level 9, you'll only know after you fight it. Oh, I mean, fight! Fight!!"

Knowing its location had been exposed, the griffin spread its eagle-like wings and used the wind element to soar straight into the sky.

Both sides accelerated towards each other.

The griffin's wings snapped into a streamlined shape, and with the force of its dive, it slammed its claws down on the griffin's chest—[Dragon Claw Strike].

The scales and feathers rubbed together with a sharp, grating sound, and the sharp claws instantly tore through the downy feathers on the opponent's chest, embedding themselves deeply into the muscle.

At the same time, a fierce light ignited in the griffin's golden eyes, and its right claw lashed out like lightning, landing precisely on Puse's left chest!

Several dragon scales were forcibly torn off, and the claw marks were so deep that the bone was visible. A burning pain spread along the skin, and even breathing was excruciating.

Pu Se let out a muffled groan, flapping its wings violently to steady itself, and the two sides created distance between them.

A fatal test.

Puser had already determined from the claw marks on his body that his opponent's challenge level was about level 8 and that he had a strong grasp of the wind element.

"Blue Dragon!"

The griffin hovered in mid-air, its claw marks on its chest oozing blood that trickled down its feathers before it crashed to the ground.

It was badly injured, but not as badly as the blue dragon. Its scales were shattered, and there was a large hole in its chest. It looked like it was about to die.

The griffin looked down at Puse from its high perch, its arrogant voice booming as it opened and closed its hawk-like beak, as if it had already foreseen its victory.

"This entire river bend forest, from Broken Cloud Peak to Blackwood Forest, is my territory! How dare you trespass on my land? Are you trying to challenge me?"

Pu Se lowered his head and licked the wound on his left chest. He turned around leisurely in the air, and the wounds on his body had been removed, leaving him in perfect condition.

The dragon laughed maniacally and charged at him again: "Your territory? Who do you think you are?"

The Magic Mirror screamed wildly, "Amazing! That's incredible! That's power!"

"Great master, let us severely punish this rat that dares to spy on us!"
