Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 400: Blue Dragon Bryant
Bryant.Dluz.Beckham is a newly adult blue dragon, who used to live happily in the Death Desert between Andor and the Kairid Empire, far from any trouble.
He usually just robbed passing merchants for fun.
Occasionally, he would also capture some undead to pit them in gladiator matches, researching whether giant dragons and undead could successfully mate.
But due to some sudden changes, he had to leave his home.
His dragon’s lair was occupied by a damn red dragon!
Not only that, but the green dragon he had just started dating was also stolen by the red dragon.
The burly red dragon not only beat him up but even played dozens of intense games of Gwent with his ex-little green dragon right in front of him.
His dragon’s lair had collapsed by more than half!
As a blue dragon with a proud and self-assured personality, how could Bryant endure such a humiliating disgrace?
Although he was beaten badly, as the red dragon was about to go all-in, he, with a heart full of fervor, pounced on the red dragon, and with evil intent, bit off the red dragon’s manhood in one go, and by chance, electrocuted the red dragon’s wound, making it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, thus achieving electrocautery and hemostasis.
He thought this valiant act would earn him the admiration of his little green dragon and make her change her mind.
Who would have thought that the little green dragon would actually team up with the red dragon to attack him.
In the end, Bryant could not fight against two opponents with his bare hands and had to escape with serious injuries.
The red dragon also howled and chased him for thousands of kilometers. Only when he flew into the human empire’s territory did the red dragon, who had lost its manhood, leave with a fierce roar.
This mountain range was Bryant’s new hiding place.
As soon as he arrived in this territory, he immediately set up a lightning field, filling the air with free charges. The vast electric field enveloped almost the entire mountain.
A large number of plants withered under the influence of the electric sparks, and ordinary monsters living in the mountains either died or fled. The originally noisy mountain forest had almost turned into a dead land, but such an environment made Bryant very comfortable.
Especially the cave where he lived.
Not only was it filled with the smell of ozone, but under the effect of his electric field, a large amount of electromagnetic ore grew in the cave.
This electromagnetic ore is the crystallization of lightning element.
Even without Bryant doing anything, these electromagnetic ores were always in a state of discharge.
The released current was not strong, but it gave him a feeling akin to soaking in a hot spring.
As for whether setting up an electric field on the entire mountain would affect the hunters’ activities, Bryant did not care at all.
A group of weak humans, that’s all.
If it weren’t for the fact that these humans were not even enough to gnaw on for him, a mature dragon, he would have long ago captured these hunters who entered the mountain and made them into desserts.
It is said that near this mountain range, there is also a newly built human town called Dragonflame City.
When Bryant first arrived in the Phileon Mountains, he specifically chose a dark and windy night to scout it. He discovered that the strongest person in the entire Dragonflame City was only a Sky Knight, someone who could be easily handled by one of his dragon claws. Once his injuries healed, he would definitely sweep through Dragonflame City.
He had never attacked a human city in his life, not even after reaching adulthood!
As a Five-Colored Evil Dragon, if one never attacks a human city in their lifetime, it would be a disgrace to their draconic life.
After building his lair in the Phileon Mountains, Bryant was not alone in living here. He also used his dragon blood to sign contracts with some monster tribes that could live in the electric field.
Among them were a group of Thunderfire Bats living near the dragon’s lair and Thunder Lizards nesting near a lake halfway up the mountain.
Thunderfire Bats are a variant of cave bats.
This creature did not originally exist in the Phileon Mountains, but the cave bat population mutated under the influence of electromagnetic stones and dragon energy.
Now these Thunderfire Bats have become his eyes and ears, monitoring the entire mountain.
As for the Thunder Lizards, they already had the bloodline of blue dragons flowing within them, and were thus bound to the blue dragons.
When Bryant first appeared before these Thunder Lizards and slightly revealed his majestic form, their leader immediately led the entire tribe to submit, and even planned to send all the female Thunder Lizards into the dragon’s lair.
However, Bryant had just experienced heartbreak and was in a state of sagehood, so he refused this kind offer.
This, however, made the female Thunder Lizards feel dejected for a long time.
One day, as Bryant was sleeping soundly on the electromagnetic stone, a group of Thunderfire Bats under his command suddenly broke into his lair.
“Master! Master!” the Thunderfire Bat leader let out a sharp cry, similar to a marmot’s, filled with joy and urgency. “Master! Something big has happened!”
Bryant, who was sleeping, frowned and then grabbed a large paddle made of electromagnetic stone and swung it towards the source of the sound. Sparks crackled on the stone paddle, and the Thunderfire Bat leader was sent flying out of the lair with a single smack, charred all over, and let out a shrill scream.
“Be quieter next time you come in,” Bryant said, picking his ear and slowly waking up. The Thunderfire Bat leader, dragging its injured body, tremblingly flew back into the lair.
Since their mutation into Thunderfire Bats, their resistance to lightning had become extremely strong. The main damage from that blow was from the immense force of the impact.
“What major event has happened?” Bryant impatiently watched the Thunderfire Bat leader, baring his teeth and threatening, “If what you have to say is not a big deal, then tonight you will roast yourself and fly into my stomach!”
The Thunderfire Bat leader shivered at the threat but still mustered the courage to report to the brutal blue dragon, “Master, it is indeed a great thing. Didn’t you send me to inquire if there were any outstanding talents in Dragonflame City before?”
Bryant’s eyes widened slightly, “What, did you find the talent I’m looking for?”
“Uh, no…”
Before he could finish speaking, the electromagnetic stone paddle swung out again, and the Thunderfire Bat leader screamed as it was sent flying once more.
After a while, the enfeebled Thunderfire Bat leader, lying at a relatively safe distance, informed the blue dragon about the upcoming Bard talent competition in Dragonflame City.
“Master, Dragonflame City will select the most talented bard. Isn’t this exactly the talent you’ve been looking for?”
Bryant blinked his dragon eyes. To be honest, the most talented bard indeed made him very interested.
He could keep such a bard in his dragon’s lair, have him write poems praising him every day, and then spread these poems everywhere. Wouldn’t his name, Blue Dragon Bryant, become known to all?
Bryant imagined a day when humans would tremble at the mere mention of his name, and human females would use his stories to scare human cubs who stayed up late at night; Orcs would prostrate themselves in submission upon seeing his majestic form; statues of him would be erected on the Five-Colored Dragon Islands; Elves would add him to their list of natural disasters; and even demons would not dare to try to bewitch him with abyssal magic…
As he thought about it, a ferocious smile spread across Bryant’s face, and he even drooled.
