Silver Dragons are spawning in this dungeon!

Hilo raised his claws, his five claws loosely clenched, feeling the surging magic power within his body.

The feeling of becoming stronger is captivating.

At the same time, he looked at the iron sword that Novi was currently holding.

Novi was a little puzzled when she saw that Shiro had stopped training.

Suddenly, she realized that Hilo seemed to be looking at the iron sword in her hand, not at her.

She gripped the iron sword tightly, somewhat nervously.

Dragons are inherently greedy for wealth; it's an instinct ingrained in their very bones.

Now she and Hilo depend on each other for survival. The dungeon is too barren, with only a few glowing stones at most.

This iron sword is considered the finest work of art, so Hilo and Novi often admire it together.

Novi had never seen Hilo devour magical items before, but now Hilo was casting her gaze at her.

She thought Shiloh was trying to take it away and stop her from playing with it.

Because it had just been fully charged, Novi is feeling quite resilient right now.

He even bared his teeth at Hilo.

When Shiloh saw Novi breathing on him, he breathed back on her.

Novi's eyes cleared instantly, and she reluctantly handed over the iron sword.

Then, to her astonishment, he swallowed the iron sword whole.

Strangely enough, the sword, which was even a little longer than Hilo's neck, seemed to disappear into his mouth as if from another dimension.

The texture is still good, like orange-flavored crunchy shark, and you can swallow it with a satisfying crunch.

In fact, Shiloh was also heartbroken, even though she knew that improving her strength was the only way forward.

But swallowing the treasure felt like cutting off a piece of flesh; it was like having one's heart bleeding.

But I had no choice but to put it in my mouth.

Novi, who was standing to the side, had been staring wide-eyed. What a huge sword!

It was just eaten like that?

Novi walked up to Hiro in disbelief. Hiro had his eyes closed, processing the magical circuitry on the sword.

Novi gripped Shiloh's chin with her claws and pulled it down, peering one eye into Shiloh's mouth.

They wanted to see any trace of the iron sword, but there was nothing there; the iron sword's remains had vanished.

Hilo didn't have time to care about Novi's action of opening his mouth.

Two streams of heat simultaneously climbed up his dragon body and flowed down his legs.

One stream of heat flowed toward the dragon's claws, while another stopped on its thighs.

A semi-transparent, sharp barrier forms on the claws.

It was a spell unleashed from the blade, which solidified on the claws, strengthening the already sharp dragon claws.

It can swing its dragon claws, unleash spells, and even unleash something like sword energy. What is this called?

Is it claw odor? Or athlete's foot?

On the thigh is the Thunderclap Sword spell, which doesn't seem to be limited to swords.

Therefore, when tattooed on Hiro's body and activated, it directly generates an electric current, stimulating the muscles and producing greater power.

It also adds a slight paralyzing effect to the attack.

The benefits of the Thunderclap Sword far exceed the burst damage from the blade.

Although the blade burst looks cool, once the Thunderclap Sword's magic is fully integrated, it permanently enhances the physical constitution and permanently adds lightning attribute effects.

A small amount of lightning-attribute paralysis effect might not be noticeable, but as a passive ability, stacking it up will eventually lead to a qualitative change.

A single basic attack comes with more than ten negative effects.

Paralysis, poisoning, bleeding, treatment inhibition...

When they all erupt together, the final strike is the Ultimate Tetanus Claw, which means instant death if it gets caught.

At first, it might not seem like a big deal, but with each passing second, the damage increases.

Having fully absorbed the iron sword, his magic was now abundant.

When Shiloh saw Novi standing in front of her, she was tilting her chin.

At first, they might not have believed it and felt reluctant to part with the iron sword, but gradually they forgot about it.

She grabbed Shiloh's chin, but he didn't move. Novi steeled herself, used the tip of her claw to pry out Shiloh's tongue, and pulled it outward.

Just then, Heero finished digesting the iron sword, opened his eyes, and saw Novi doing the good deed.

Hilo's claws tightened, then loosened, and he took a tentative bite.

He didn't really use any force; he simply took Novi's dragon claw entirely into his mouth.

The tongue brushed against the knuckles, gently tracing the silvery scales.

Hilo didn't even have time to react. He thought that with Novi's reaction speed, she would definitely be able to dodge the bite.

Now...

The translucent, pure dragon eyes stared at each other, one big and one small.

Novi's raised paw was momentarily at a loss, unsure whether to retract it or place it in Hilo's mouth.

Novi was shocked to realize that her brother was this kind of person, and her eyes grew increasingly strange.

Hilo quickly spat out Novi's paw and explained, "Novi, let me explain..."

Novi said with a serious face, "Don't tell me, I understand. I'll keep my brother's secret!"

As if afraid that Hilo would kill the dragon to silence him, a silver shadow flashed by and disappeared in a flash.

Only Shiloh remained, disheveled in the wind, her life's illustrious name gone!

He opened his mouth, wanting to call out to Novi, but Novi didn't give him the chance at all.

Hilo unconsciously smacked her lips, as if savoring something...

"Cough cough, ptooey ptooey ptooey..."

Why are you talking about food now? He's not one of those old-timers.

It was all just an accident, Shiloh kept denying it to herself.

I decided that I must explain things to Novi when I see her next time.

They searched the entire open space but couldn't find Novi anywhere.

"I wonder where she ran off to," Hilo frowned. "With Novi's current strength, no creature on this level should be able to stop her if she wanted to escape."

However, injuries can still occur.

Novi wasn't really sure what to do either. She was the one who pulled on Hilo's tongue first, and she realized what was happening when Hilo bit down.

But she thought Shiloh wouldn't really bite, so she didn't avoid it, only to find that Shiloh actually took her paw into her mouth...

The thought of this made Novi feel uneasy, so she hid in a passageway.

Suddenly, a series of sounds came from the dark passage. At first, there were slight movements, followed by a sparse creaking sound.

Gradually, the squeaking sounds became a continuous chorus.

Novi stared into the darkness, as if facing a formidable enemy, wondering what kind of ghost it was.

It made such a loud noise even though it was still quite far away.

Suddenly a dark shadow flashed through the air—a large flying rat!

bat!

Even though it was just a fleeting glimpse, Novi was still able to clearly see what kind of creature it was.

Through genetic comparison, it is identified as a cave gray bat!

Carnivorous, with weak attack capabilities, but capable of spreading plague.

A single gray bat doesn't even have a challenge level, but when a group of them gather together, they become a mobile calamity; no living thing that moves can escape their erosion.

Unless it's something whose defenses are impenetrable.

Clearly, Novi, in her early dragon stage, is not included in this category, as her dragon scales appear somewhat immature.

Novi wasn't stupid; she didn't know how many gray bats were in the darkness. Besides, she had to remind Hilo that she couldn't stay and fight the gray bat swarm head-on.

Just as she turned to flee, a dark mass of gray bats swarmed over.

Novi activated her magic shield to defend against the gray bats' bites and charged outwards.
