Chapter 420: Chapter 414: Big Stick
Leon busied himself for half a day, habitually stretching his arms. The unintentional action captivated Laksha, until Cecilia let out a low growl to remind her not to go too far, waking her with a start.
“This is Laksha, she has come from afar in the Mouqiu Forest to seek you out,” Cecilia introduced.
“Mouqiu Forest… I remember it’s within the Empire, isn’t it? It’s quite a distance from Watchtower Port,” Leon replied, realizing he was still at work and it was not the right time to get distracted, “Wait a moment, I’ll talk with you once I finish my work.”
After saying that, Leon focused on his work regardless of the two dragons, finishing about ten minutes later, exhaling deeply, “Finally done.”
Now Leon finally had time to take a good look at Laksha.
At first glance, the Black Dragon, whether in size or other aspects, was no match for Cecilia, nor was she a match for Tassera and Fiora.
Thinking about it carefully, everyone lived on a spirit-rich Volcanic Island, and he assisted with dual cultivation. In comparison, the Black Dragon didn’t have as good conditions as everyone else, and being the second lowest-ranked Colorful Dragon, she naturally had a weaker starting point. The fact she is only slightly inferior to everyone can be considered a miracle.
“Even if Sister Laksha is charming, you don’t have to be so entranced, do you?” Cecilia teased, only teasing, because in her eyes, there was only Tassera, not worried about the Black Dragon having ulterior motives, whatever her rise might be, she would always be a sister.
It was then that Leon truly noticed Laksha’s uniqueness. The Black Dragon was not only large, but her figure was not like the dry, fierce appearance of ordinary Black Dragons. Instead, it had an elegant curve, with black scales faintly glinting with purple, somewhat reminiscent of Onyxia’s grace.
Leon was not the kind of anime protagonist who would blush for half a day after a casual joke; he said generously, “Miss Laksha wouldn’t mind if I looked a bit more, right?”
“No, not at all.” Laksha lowered her head, feeling the skin beneath her scales slightly warm, deceiving herself. As expected of the Red Dragon named by Tiamat, just being close made one feel hot all over.
Indeed, afraid that the possessive Leon would be displeased, as the Black Dragon meticulously selected by Tiamat, although an Adult Dragon, Laksha was pure and untouched, never having had a close relationship with a male, making such youthful reactions quite normal.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Leon valued Laksha greatly, “I was just forging a sword, couldn’t interrupt at the crucial moment.”
“Understandable, completely understandable.” Laksha raised her head, gazing at the Red Dragon habitually standing up, her breathing became heavy, “I heard Lord Leon… no, Master Leon is nicknamed the Cliff Sword, wielding the sword like a humanoid, but didn’t expect he knows how to forge swords too?”
Don’t blame your surroundings for lacking good people; once you’re strong, everyone around is good. It’s said dragon tempers aren’t great, even kind Metal Dragons are arrogant, won’t listen to reason, but Leon felt everyone was very reasonable, a slight dragon smile appearing, “I only know a little, currently can only create secondary divine artifacts.”
“Sec… secondary divine artifacts,” even if it’s a secondary divine artifact, it’s still a divine artifact, Laksha’s voice caught, as if her throat was being squeezed.
Leon knew well in this world where the weak are prey, excessive modesty would only invite disdain. Especially when facing a dragon, it’s essential to showcase one’s muscles, to strongly showcase.
With his strength increasing, Leon’s Sleeve of the Universe’s small space… now should be called a large space, the things he could store increased, fortunately he liked to stash things. With all the treasures he’d amassed over the years, if merely used to store people, it could hold several dragons without any problem, and thousands of small goblins with no difficulty.
Leon thought for a moment, then retrieved his Divine Sword from the Sleeve of the Universe,
Leon took out his Divine Sword, slashing casually, holding it before him, saying, “I wonder when I can upgrade to a high-level divine artifact.”
Laksha instinctively backed half a step, the Divine Sword shocked her, but what stunned her more was the method the Red Dragon used to produce the Divine Sword.
Leon was pleased with the Black Dragon’s reaction, then thrust the sword into the ground heavily, crossing his claws on the hilt, saying, “This was crafted using refined gold and various rare materials, then quenched with the blood of a Demon Lord, a Great Devil, and a demigod Red Dragon.”
“I know about the Demon Lord and Great Devil, that’s the Horned Demon King Baphomet and the former Avernus Lord Bell,” Cecilia coordinated aptly, “Where did you get the demigod Red Dragon’s blood?”
“Of course, it’s mine, from here,” Leon raised his hand, laughing heartily.
With his rebirth through Bone Shedding, claiming to be a demigod, no one would object now.
“Does Miss Laksha believe it?” Leon glanced at the Black Dragon, asking nonchalantly.
“Mhm, mhm.” Laksha nodded repeatedly, “I’ve heard that Master Leon killed a Flame Divine Successor.”
“If you don’t believe, you can verify with those who personally experienced that battle,” Leon said offhandedly.
“No, no, no, I’m not doubting, I believe it.” Laksha said hurriedly, not wanting to linger on that troublesome issue, fearing deeper entanglement, and shifted the topic, “Doesn’t Master Leon already have a Divine Sword, why forge another one?”
“One Divine Sword isn’t enough for me to use,” Leon spread his wings, casting a suffocating shadow, “Hasn’t Miss Laksha heard I can turn into Three Heads and Six Arms?”
“I can’t kill another Flame Divine Successor for Miss Laksha to see, but I can perform the Three Heads and Six Arms for Miss Laksha,” Leon said, “Miss Laksha was so generous earlier, not minding if I looked a little more, I can’t act so petty.”
Laksha recalled Leon continuously watching her just now, luckily as a dragon, her whole body was covered in scales, the scales wouldn’t change color, concealing her blush.
Laksha soon disregarded that trivial matter, because Leon activated the Three-headed Six-armed Dharma Body.
The gigantic Red Dragon flaunted six swords, losing in size to the Tiamat she had seen but far surpassing in momentum… which was natural, not that Leon was stronger than Tiamat, it’s just that one stood real before her, while the other was a mere projection, incomparable.
“Enough,” Cecilia interjected, “don’t scare Sister Laksha.”
Leon withdrew the Dharma Body as instructed.
It was an indescribable sensation, some unspeakable thrill climbing up from the spine to the top of the head, Laksha realized she had an urge, must hold it in, absolutely couldn’t lose control in front of everyone.
Leon sharply noticed the Black Dragon’s abnormal trembling, but was completely unaware why.
Anyway, he was determined to win over Laksha, sparing no tactic; muscles had been exhibited, next was to offer candy, he said, “Cecilia, you’re our Prime Minister, you should have many matters to attend to, you go get busy.”
“I’ll take Miss Laksha for a tour, look around Watchtower Port, take a flight over the Volcanic Island, and circle Zhen Dan Kingdom,” Leon’s voice softened, shifting from dragon form to human form.
Laksha dared not be presumptuous in front of Leon, transforming into a Half-Elf, black hair and eyes brightened Leon’s eyes, for he liked long straight black hair.
