Boom~

The boulder was lifted, and a strong man in white armor frantically fled into the distance.

I knocked the white-armored man away with one paw.

The opponent, on the other hand, used this force to disappear into the distance, paying the price of spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But I looked at the opponent's back and didn't pursue him—my goal had been achieved.

I began to clean up those lucky ones who escaped the bombing, like catching bugs.

With the talent of vibration perception, these soldiers had nowhere to hide.

...

The man in white armor, who was using a magic scroll to escape, felt a wave of fear in his heart.

Damn it, how could I be attacked by a dragon?

I heard the family surrounded and suppressed a black dragon, but it escaped.

Could it be this one?

How unlucky!

Didn't they say the other party wouldn't dare to come again for at least 50 years?

What a shitty conclusion!

As he fled, he didn't notice that a strange little red thing had entered his body...

Generally speaking, with his strength, the parasites of the twisted seeds would have been noticed.

But after experiencing the complete destruction of the camp and the appearance of the black dragon, he was already panicked to the extreme.

Naturally, he didn't care about these things.

I searched the temporary camp for a while.

After killing all the surviving human soldiers, I flew directly toward the topaz mine.

After all, the topaz veins were much more important than the magic iron veins.

When flying over the topaz mine, I found a human army on the ground, and they seemed to be patrolling.

However, the location of the original topaz vein no longer had a mining field or anything similar.

Instead, it had turned into a lot of broken boulder pits, looking inconspicuous.

This made me breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Shadar and the others were doing well, as Danylan stated, and the humans had not discovered our topaz veins.

Otherwise, I would be very upset if I lost even a little bit.

"Why are there forest trolls here?" A soldier looked at the surrounding stones, bored.

"But traces of forest trolls were indeed found here before!"

"Maybe it's a forest troll that didn't escape. Find it quickly and finish the task!"

There were almost 40 soldiers in this group, and they belonged to the army directly under the Voltan family.

This place had already been detected by family spellcasters using earth magic, and nothing seemed wrong.

But the strange thing was that traces of frost trolls had been found a few days ago.

In fact, the Voltan family wasn't interested in frost trolls at all.

All they cared about was the black dragon.

"What is that?"

Suddenly, a figure seemed to fly out of the sun.

"Careful!"

But it was too late—a blue lightning breath directly covered the entire search team.

Screams followed one after another, and the smell of barbecue wafted from time to time.

I approached the sky above the team using the sun's cover.

Without much nonsense, I unleashed my Lightning Breath directly.

These soldiers had no way to resist at all. Just the high temperature from the current was enough to kill them; with their metal suits, they were cooked like popcorn in a microwave.

After landing on the ground, I looked at the scorched black human corpses without any fluctuation in my heart. I began sensing the heartbeats of the soldiers using vibrations.

Then I ended the lives of a few soldiers pretending to be dead. A small team had to be neat and tidy.

After dealing with them, I searched for the original ore mine.

Vibration perception!

I carefully sensed the movement underground.

Finally, several vibration sources were heard over 130 meters below the ground.

Having spent a long time in the Evil Tooth tribe before, I immediately recognized the sound of frost troll heartbeats.

I looked at the ground in front of me; it seemed Shadar and the others were trying to prevent the enemy from finding this place.

They had been digging downward, using the excavated earth and rocks to fill the tunnel.

I thought for a moment, then began channeling magic power to control the surrounding earth elements.

Magic power flowed continuously from my body into the ground.

Rumbling~

The ground began to shake.

Immediately, the ground within a radius of 50 meters around Saron slowly rose.

After rising over 80 meters, it stopped, revealing a dark tunnel.

This was an outgoing tunnel set aside by Shadar and the others.

The elevated platform was crafted by manipulating the earth itself, raising a section of ground through my command over earth elements. This wasn't achieved through spells but by channeling raw mana, warping reality itself to bring it into existence. The effort demanded immense energy—a drain only a dragon could endure—requiring a vast reservoir of mana and an unparalleled affinity for earth manipulation. Without my draconic nature, potent mana pool, and deep bond with earth elements, this feat would have been impossible.

Using magic in this way consumed a lot of mana, but not for me.

"Roar~"

Immediately after, a deafening dragon roar echoed into the ground.

With the addition of a wild scream, my roar spread deep into the earth.

---

At this time, Shadar and Doug, who were still nervous due to the violent vibrations, also heard the long roar of the dragon.

There would be no second sound capable of making the mana in their bodies vibrate like this.

"Lord Barbatos is back!" Shadar said excitedly.

"This must be Lord Barbatos's voice—I can't mistake it!"

Doug and the goblin leader, Vickers, also exchanged looks, realizing they would survive.

Not long after, Shadar, covered in mud, emerged from the tunnel with his people, goblins, and kobolds.

"Master!" Shadar saw the huge figure on the high platform at first sight.

Although the 41-meter-long black dragon had changed a lot compared to before, those scarlet eyes and unique figure made Shadar immediately confirm that this was his master.

The goblins and kobolds in the back ran directly to the high platform and knelt down.

"Master Black Dragon, you are finally back!"

I looked at Shadar, Vickers, and Doug at the front and nodded in affirmation.

"You are in good shape!"

After all, in this situation, if they wanted to survive, it was very simple—just run away.

After all, I was forced to run away myself.

But their first thought was to protect the topaz veins, and it was very well guarded!

"Master, this is what we should do!" Shadar patted his chest.

"Shadar, I have killed the human team here and the group of humans occupying the Evil Tooth Tribe, but the tribe is also destroyed!

Later, take some of your clansmen there to clean up the mess and get back some loot!"

"Follow, Lord!"

I looked at the three leaders around me and pondered for a moment.

Then I stretched out my dragon claws, and three blood-red twisted seeds appeared in the heart of my claws.

"This is what you deserve. Integrate it into your body. Doug, you come first!" Saron whispered.

The twisted seed entered Doug's body.

"This is..." Doug felt a little hot all over after the blood-red thing melted into his body, and couldn't help but let out a low growl.

Crunch, crunch...

Doug's body began to change. The original light black scales on the surface slowly fell off, then turned darker.

His body began to gradually grow taller, the original short stature disappearing. His height almost caught up with Shadar's.

At the same time, his claws grew longer, shining coldly, looking extremely sharp.

When the changes finally stopped, Doug suddenly felt a pang of hunger and started gnawing on the dead human soldiers on the ground.

I nodded. I actively controlled the Seed of Distortion to slightly modify Doug without harming his mind or body.

As early as on the way here, I discovered through experiments on those monsters that I could activate part of the twisted seed's ability to have a benign influence on the host.

It's just that the changes in Doug seem a bit extensive now!

"Thank you, Lord, for your gift!"

Doug finally stopped after eating four human corpses. He knelt on one knee before me. Feeling the powerful force in his body, Doug was extremely excited.

Due to racial reasons, his strength had increased abnormally slowly. But this time, it was completely different!

"Master, I..."

Shadar watched the once-inconspicuous kobold turn into a figure that made him feel extreme fear. He looked at me eagerly.

After all, becoming stronger is the instinct of every creature!

Without hesitation, I directly integrated the twisted seed into Shadar's body.

Suddenly, Shadar felt his blood boil.

Immediately afterward, the scars on his body rapidly healed. At that moment, his eye sockets suddenly itched, and Shadar tore off the rag that originally covered his one-eyed face.

Tiny red tentacles grew from the previously empty eye socket, forming a blood-red eyeball.

Shadar's body also began to change. The black scales on his arms turned darker, his muscles thickening like twisted steel bars.

"Master, I seem to be able to see, and the vision of this eye is much better than the other!"

One of Shadar's eyes remained a normal troll eye, but the other became a scarlet vertical pupil, appearing extremely strange.

Uncomfortable, he covered his red eye again. The difference in vision between the two eyes was too great, making him uneasy.

Shadar felt that his troll blood might be reverting to its ancient ancestry, though it would take time.

Frost trolls belonged to the giant family, but their size was much smaller than other trolls, reducing their combat effectiveness. But now, Shadar felt that the blood in his body was changing...

I examined my two subordinates. The Seed of Distortion's influence on Shadar and Doug differed. Doug's improvement was clearly greater. Judging by Doug's state, he might be able to withstand five to ten hits from Shadar, a massive shift since Doug had been a mere fourth-order creature, while Shadar was nearly eleventh order.

"Master Dragon Lord, your stellar figure is so..."

Seeing me look at him, Vickers hurriedly spoke.

"Fine, fine. How about the mining volume during this period?" I asked directly.

"Master, we have been mining ore during your absence, and now all the mined ore is stored in the underground tunnel!" Vickers responded hastily.

"Very good!"

It seemed these guys hadn't been lazy during my absence.

"Vickers, this is yours!" I handed Vickers a twisted seed.

Vickers was overjoyed. Although he didn't know what it was, he could see the changes in Doug and Shadar.

Though Vickers didn't like fighting, it didn't mean he didn't want to become stronger!

Under the seed's influence, his claws grew sharper, covered in black scales, while his muscles became stronger.

"This..."

Though slightly disappointed, Vickers was still happy. Becoming stronger was always good! He felt he was close to breaking into a higher order.

"This is my reward for your loyalty. The current changes are just the beginning—you will find more benefits in the future!

And if you make great contributions, I will treat them equally!"

I gazed at the other frost trolls and the eagerly watching kobolds and goblins.

The real dragon could truly make them stronger.

Although I could give all my dependents a Seed of Distortion now, I didn't.

If I did, what would Shadar and the other leaders think?

Rarity is precious! My target was not the goblins and kobolds present.

I needed many tool dependents. The Seed of Distortion had side effects, but I kept them under control!

"Now continue to gather your people. I will make those guys pay the price!" I spread my massive wings.

"Kill! Take revenge in the name of Lord Black Dragon!"

Shadar, who was eating meat, was the first to react, shouting loudly.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"What? That black dragon is back?" Victor asked incredulously, looking at the distressed subordinates in front of him.

"The real patriarch, that black dragon wiped out our camp in half a minute. If I didn't have some means, I would have died!" said the man in white armor.

"And he is now much stronger than what the family recorded last time, with his huge body, powerful fire magic, and even earth magic..."

The man in white armor explained in detail all the information he encountered at that time, and Victor's face gradually became gloomy.

"Go down!" Victor said coldly after listening.

"Yes!" The man in white armor retreated tremblingly.

Victor, on the other hand, began to meditate alone.

If his subordinates are right, then the black dragon is indeed a bit strange.

After all, true dragons have long lifespans, which is why their growth rate is so slow.

And the black dragon's growth process, which violated the natural laws of growth, had never been seen before.

But it may also be that true dragons have some unknown means to accelerate their growth process. After all, true dragons are an ancient and mysterious species.

I still know too little about these powerful magical creatures!

But no matter the reason, let this black dragon be the first sacrifice after my transformation!

Or perhaps, this black dragon can become the ultimate sacrifice, ensuring I have the highest starting point.

Much stronger than that stupid Glabrezu and that foolish Horned Devil, Idris!

Victor's eyes gleamed with ambition. As a human being, he wanted to reach the upper echelons, and even as a devil, he wanted to be the strongest among devils.

Victor, no matter what life form he is, must always be the best.

"Come on!"

Two guards in black armor walked in at Victor's command.

"Patriarch!"

"Go and ask Tiers to inform the families with whom we have good relations, and tell them I invite them to discuss the plan for slaying the dragon. I hope they bring their most powerful fighters!" Victor said lightly.

"Obey!" The two guards retreated slowly.

"Hehe, come on, come on!" Victor's eyes flashed with a cruel light never seen before.

---

Next to the topaz mine.

A new camp had already been established here, and I had opened a cave for myself using earth magic.

Just now, I used the chain of my soul to observe the man I deliberately let escape earlier.

I saw that old guy Victor through his eyes.

This guy still seems like the scheming type. I always feel as though he's planning something strange.

But I believe that no matter how much he schemes, in front of my strength, it will all amount to nothing.

At this moment, I suddenly felt the surrounding space fluctuating, and a familiar aura appeared before me.

"This is...?"

Boom~

A blood-red portal formed in front of me.
