Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 14 Recovery
In the third year of Charon's sleep, the red dragon that turned into gray stone finally responded.

After being continuously burned and refined by the magic flame, a more powerful bloodline of the previous generation was born from the mediocre evil dragon's blood, and the magic flame was swallowed up by the revived red blood.

The evil dragon's blood, which was flowing throughout the red dragon's body and looked like dull paint compared to the newly born blood, was also quickly devoured.

The red dragon's heartbeat paused for a few breaths, and then new blood burst out from deep in its blood vessels, flowing quickly through the dragon's body through the heart.

The rich magic power that had long been accumulated outside the body was also activated, and turned into a small-scale magic storm in the cave. The red dragon's breath began to grow from nothing to something, and it was slowly accumulating strength to recover slowly.

The growing bloodline of previous generations is nourishing the dragon's body and changing it.

The dragon's body is now emaciated, like a skeleton dragon with a layer of scales attached to its skeleton. Its body has grown half a meter in length, but it is larger than before it fell into sleep.

His neck is proportionally shorter than other red dragons, but appears thicker.

The broad and thick lower jaw is covered with a protective layer of bone, and the originally slender spines on the skin wrapped in the protective layer have become short and thick.

On the head with clear lines like a rock carving, there grow thick dragon horns. The lines on the dragon horns that were originally coiled like lines of fire have turned into lines with three colors of dark red, ochre and gold interwoven.

The dragon horns that look indestructible and as hard as metal have three branches. A pair of dragon horns with six branches stand upright upward and backward on the head lying flat on the ground, showing their unparalleled strength and sharpness.

The root of the dragon horn is actually hollow, which means that the dragon can now transmit magic power through the dragon horn to cast spells.

The scales on the dragon's body fell off quietly, and the regrown scales were wider and thicker, dark red with a golden luster. Even if it was pretending to be a half-blood golden dragon, many dragons would probably believe it.

The Kalon in the cave was changing, and changes were also happening outside the cave.

Sensing the revival of the dragon leader, the blue dragon emerged from the cave.

He called the white dragon Gmot, who was peeking out furtively, and his brother Kamide, who had the appearance of an actor, and the three dragons grabbed the tall stone jars used to store honey and set off into the forest.

The anxious blue dragon flapped its wings hurriedly, beginning to worry whether the damn black bear would destroy all the nearby beehives.

Antajena suddenly remembered the task that Kalon had given him to manage the orchard, so she took the eager black dragon Rossani away as a laborer. The black dragon is also good at digging, so of course he should be good at removing weeds as well.

Clenaya suddenly found herself as if isolated from the dragon group, but having a more developed brain than humans did not mean having more wisdom than humans, and the proud red dragon had no concept of reflection.

So she had to wander around Karon's dragon nest every day. Even her head, which had been clamped by a butt, knew that as long as Karon woke up, the dragons would accept her again.

The air in the cave has changed from dry to hot, and the smell of magma gas and sulfur fills the entire cave.

The power that spread from Charon's resurrection caused tiny cracks to appear on the originally smooth stone walls of the cave, and from the cracks came the faint scent of the fire elemental plane belonging to the world of Ekania.

The flat ground was covered with raised lines, and some dark metal ores were mixed in the raised soil.

A wave similar to the dragon's might gradually rose from the red dragon lying on the uneven ground, but unlike the dragon's might, this force was invisible but had substance.

As soon as this power was born, it spread rapidly. Unimaginable high temperature enveloped the area above, below, left, and right of the power fluctuations like a field, penetrating everywhere and leaving nowhere to escape.

The dried corpses of insects and animals that fell on the ground were instantly burned to ashes. Even the metal ore under the dragon's feet was slowly melted into black and red molten iron by the scorching heat.

Even the magic power within the cave reacted violently as if being burned by a raging fire. This power could burn everything. Fortunately, without Karon's deliberate stimulation, this area only maintained the minimum power.

This is the power that the new blood brings to the dragon, similar to the halo, but more powerful. This is the domain - all things turn to ashes, and it is also the innate ability gained when transitioning from a young dragon to a young dragon.

After three years, the sleeping Charon finally opened his eyes, and the dragon's might emanated, showing his revival. He felt the extremely powerful strength in his body, as well as the spells that were awakened as he grew into a young dragon.

He had a feeling that he could beat several of his pre-sleeping selves. Perhaps after a period of rapid growth after sleeping, he would be able to compete with the young dragon Akzi.

Before he could feel proud, Karon found that the stone wall in the cave had begun to melt into stone water by his power. He was frightened and quickly retracted his dragon power. With the skillful control of dragon power, the power of the field of everything turning to ash was easily restrained.

Then he rushed out of his own nest, to avoid becoming the first fool in the history of the dragon clan to be killed by the collapsed cave of his own, and then be regarded as a shame and ridiculed for countless generations by other dragons who knew about the bloodline inheritance.

Sensing the movement, Clenaya was looking inside the cave when she was knocked away by a red dragon that suddenly rushed out. Clenaya was caught off guard and tasted the long-lost taste of the red dragon's dump truck again.

After a long sleep, Clenaya, who had been growing and developing recently and was nearly five meters long, was like a teenager meeting a strong man under the power of the male red dragon. She grabbed her limbs in the air, somersaulted several times, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Klenaya shook her head, and at this moment she seemed to see a sky full of stars.

·····
Roar! The red dragon's order was perfectly executed. The young dragons' attacking formation in a triangle quickly spread out in a circle with Charon as the fulcrum, encircling the herd of bison that started running wildly on the plains when they saw the bad situation.

The rapidly falling dragons spread their wide wings again in the air more than ten meters above the ground, and their bodies, which had slowed down a little, crashed directly into the galloping bison.

Pairs of sharp claws dug into the flesh of their prey; the dying howls of bison and the excited roars of killing dragons became the main theme of the grassland beneath their feet.

Charon didn't know what happened to the young dragons during his sleep, but the first thing he did after waking up was to habitually summon the dragons, let the dragons hunt for him, lead the dragons, influence the dragons, and make them get used to him again.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to see if there would be any young dragons willing to challenge him due to their expanded power and his own weakness.

At present, Clenaya, the most stubborn and most likely to challenge him, is looking at him with a look of great shock after being almost turned into a fool by him. The other young dragons are showing obedience and welcome.

Kalon originally wanted to try out the scene of the Dragon King returning after three years away to give these young dragons a little shock, but unfortunately the dragon's wish was not fulfilled.

The red dragon shook its head regretfully while eating in big mouthfuls. The long-lost food flowed down its throat and intestines into its dry and empty stomach, and was then squeezed and crushed by the dragon's powerful stomach. The stomach acid, which could corrode everything, quickly decomposed the food.

The food was digested quickly and converted into the energy needed for life to supply the dragon, and the dragon's skinny body gradually filled up.

The food that the young dragons had piled up next to Karon was decreasing, and the red dragon's strong muscles were becoming fuller again. The streamlined and knotted muscles made the skinny black dragon Rosani envious.

As the red dragon's body expanded, a majesty and power far beyond the past emerged from the red dragon, as if the giant dragon in front of them represented power and was the embodiment of violence.

No artist in the world could carve a red dragon's head that displays both majesty and ferocity. The thick and long forked horns possess a unique sense of ferocity and beauty.

With a mouth full of thick and long fangs and a wide jaw, it is hard to imagine how amazing the bite force of the dragon in front of you is. Even the hardest thigh bone of a bison was easily bitten into pieces.

The scales covering its entire strong and majestic body sparkled with a luster that dazzled even dragons. Even the golden and silver dragons, which were famous for their beautiful scales, could not compare to the brilliance of the red dragon before it. It was like a shining treasure.

All this fascinated the green dragon Antajena. She was so dizzy that she walked forward involuntarily and wanted to touch Charon's scales.

Clenaya, who was in a state of shock, suddenly came to her senses, with warnings and threats in her eyes. She stood in front of Caron who was immersed in eating, and made a low warning sound in her throat.

Kamide quietly poked his brother Gmot with his claws and whispered, "That beautiful little female dragon seems to have fallen in love with Kalon. You have no chance, Gmot."

Although dragons will only reach sexual maturity during adolescence, young dragons are not ignorant children. They have begun to have awareness and knowledge in this regard.

Gmot looked at the little female dragon that looked like a green emerald with a small nose horn and beautiful lines, and said dejectedly: "Forget it, Antajena will definitely lay a clutch of eggs with Kalon, maybe two clutches. When Kalon doesn't want to lay eggs with Antajena, there is still the blue dragon Dos. I have to wait for a long time."

"Actually, I'm not interested in Antajiana. Instead, I like Clenaya. She is destined to be a powerful female dragon," Doss came over after hearing the words. His aesthetic is more inclined towards strength rather than appearance, although Clenaya's appearance is also considered a little beautiful dragon in the dragon clan's aesthetic.

Hearing this topic, the black dragon Rosani, a male dragon, expressed his opinion. He squeezed in and said with a smile: "Hey, I actually think those agile and beautiful young mares in the wild horse herd are also pretty good."

Several young dragons chuckled. It was well known that dragons had the widest range of aesthetics in the world, but sometimes it was also a terrible and disgusting dragon aesthetic.
