84: Chapter 78 Lady Serene: One of Us 84: Chapter 78 Lady Serene: One of Us Serene stood silently on the side, waiting for the Magma Earth Dragon to emerge, his face expressionless, his handsome face slightly reddening in the reflected light of the flames as the magma surged several times.

His thoughts unfurled, but his plan of action had never included the area west of Dragon Tooth Mountain Pass, be it Wanderers or Prey Town, none were worth his attention.

That section, isolated by the Red Dragon Foothills, was like forsaken land, and if not for the request of the new Noble Leon, he would never have come here on his own.

Bleak, dull, nothing to make one pause with desire.

But the commands of Leon were above all else.

There were always some unexpected gains, perhaps even Leon himself did not know that he could have a wonderful encounter here.

To Lord Serene, the bubbling magma, which could burn a person to a crisp in an instant, was enticing as honey in his eyes.

The thing beneath the magma was even more enduring; both sides understood each other’s thoughts, each just enduring the other, waiting for one to surrender first.

“Just a bit more.”

Serene knew the Earth Dragon had not mastered Magma Breath; its huge body could not lurk beneath for long, and eventually, it must come up for air—an instant he was waiting for.

Before this, Serene had attempted several times to capture the Earth Dragon, but each time it managed to quickly escape back into the magma.

However, the sense of being in control grew stronger, and it wouldn’t take much longer.

“Blub blub blub!”

The magma began to boil, and the thing beneath could no longer hide!

A “small mountain” lifted its head from the magma, its size resembling a thatched hut, with magma being displaced as if it were droplets on a waterproof cloth, rolling off the thick rock soil scales.

The Earth Dragon extended its head again to breathe.

Lord Serene’s heart surged with excitement.

More than the Earth Dragon’s hard rock soil scales, what truly made it a challenge was that it never confronted him directly, and after each failure, he had to wait for a long time, during which he could do nothing but wait.

Too long spent in excruciating waiting, his patience a waste, his mindset began to shift.

He had not wanted to be too harsh initially, but now it seemed he might have to resort to some violent measures.

Chains wrapped in black smoke extended from Serene’s shoulder blades, coiling around his arms like serpents, reaching forward.

The chains collided and revolved inside the mountain path, intertwining to form a net, and wrapped around the Earth Dragon below.

To him, what was before his eyes was not an Earth Dragon but a harmless little cat.

“Roar!” The Earth Dragon struggled mightily, flailing its body and causing the magma to splash up in scalding waves.

The charred stone walls were splattered with magma, generating a dense white smoke.

The temperature in the space rose even higher.

The chains in front of Serene madly swung, blocking the incoming magma, with a few trickles getting through the gaps, only to be blocked again by the fine chains that sprouted from Serene’s body.

A suit of armor made entirely of black chains formed on the surface of Serene’s body as he quickly wove them together.

Clad in the chains armor, Serene leaped up, while at the same time the Earth Dragon opposite him opened its elongated mouth, a red glow brewing in its throat.

Crash!

The chains that had already spread above the magma moved quickly, ensnaring the Earth Dragon and tightening fiercely.

The Earth Dragon’s elongated mouth was violently snapped shut by the tightening chains with a “clap.”

“Boom!” The flames that hadn’t been spewed yet were choked, unable to burst forth as the Earth Dragon’s mouth was tied shut.

Passersby could see the dragon’s belly light up suddenly, and then its throat, but it was unable to expel anything from its mouth.

The glow intensified, and the chains did not loosen in the slightest until finally, with a “boom” of a muffled sound, it detonated inside the Earth Dragon’s mouth.

Magma flowed from the sides of the Earth Dragon’s long mouth, the Earth Dragon itself dazed by the explosion, its lava scales on its mouth shattered, with blood dripping.

The excruciating pain made the Earth Dragon struggle madly, while Lord Serene buried his legs into the mountainside he passed, pulling strongly on the chains with his arms.

He discerned the Earth Dragon’s intent; it wasn’t enraged but seeking to retreat and escape.

If he let it return to the magma, all his efforts would be in vain.

This was certainly his closest attempt to tame the Earth Dragon yet, a struggle between man and dragon.

Even as a Senior Grand Knight, Serene was still at a disadvantage when it came to strength against the Earth Dragon.

Pulling got nowhere…

He was being dragged, inching closer to the magma.

“Snap!” The chains tore apart.

The Earth Dragon plunged into the magma and hid, not showing itself again.

Lord Serene landed, and the chains that had grown from his back were rapidly retracting.

The portion of the chains taken by the Earth Dragon was just a manifestation of his own Supernatural Power; aside from a mysteriously increased energy expenditure, it had no real effect.

But tonight, he would certainly not be able to subdue the Earth Dragon.

The Earth Dragon understood this well.

Serene knew that if he turned to run, the Earth Dragon would surely emerge from the magma to breathe, so all he could do was endure.

To endure the Earth Dragon until it couldn’t bear it, until it yielded.

Only one side could bow its head in the end.

The process was destined to be a torment, both physically and mentally.

Fully committed to waiting, Serene suddenly heard a voice behind him.

“My lord!”

“Hmm?” Serene opened his eyes and peered at the somewhat restless magma below, something definitely looking for a chance to escape.

Having been addressed so suddenly, the Earth Dragon must think this an opportunity, but at the same time would be cautious, worried it’s a trap.
