Chapter 387: Chapter 381 Awakening
Leon slept during this period, and the dragons attacked the Lost Plateau’s Fire Giant Fortress… The Fire Giant Fortress is likely located in the deep mountains or the heart of a volcano, making it easy to find.
To avoid resistance from the Fire Giants, there might be a steel magic statue within the Fire Giant Fortress. Everyone acted in teams; resistance was fought against without rcy, but unfortunately, even after scouring the Lost Plateau, not many Fire Giants were captured.
Only dozens of Fire Giants were caught, so were sent to mine in the half-plane where the Fla Divine Successor slept — a plane initially filled with giant animals, but now there are fewer due to Leon’s large appetite — the rest were brought back to Watchtower Port. Fire Giants are the greatest blacksmiths, architects, and technicians among giants, so they are useful in many areas.
The spoils gathered from looting the Fire Giant Fortress consisted mostly of rare tals and minerals, with few gold coins and gemstones. Selling them could fetch a large sum, but no one dared to act rashly. Everyone agreed to wait until Leon woke up to distribute them.
Everyone knows Leon is generous, but he dislikes presumptuous actions, often saying, “I can give it to you, but you can’t take it.”
Under such circumstances, those who ca from afar to help Leon had to wait at Watchtower Port until Leon woke up to receive their reward and return ho. Luckily, Leon didn’t sleep for too long; he woke up groggily after two months.
Leon awoke from hunger. After eating a bit, he finally had the energy to handle so matters.
His idea was to take half of the spoils from looting the Fire Giant Fortress, then pay the adventurers’ commission, and compensate the families of the deceased. The rest would be divided among everyone since participation was key; even those who didn’t contribute much would receive a share, and those who did significant work would receive greater rewards.
The most important thing was that the body of the Fla Divine Successor, a treasure in itself, could not be touched by anyone; that was Leon’s possession, kept in the molten lava of the volcano using magic preservation until he had ti to deal with it.
After eating, Leon fell asleep again, this ti waking up after a month. He then handled so affairs, like arranging for his equipnt corroded by Delaguna’s strong acid to be repaired, then eating and sleeping, repeating this cycle until five years later, this ti not falling asleep imdiately after eating his fill.
When he no longer felt an irresistible urge to sleep, Leon checked his body.
Five years had truly transford him, growing him from a giant size to a colossal size, typical of an Ancient Red Dragon, with a shoulder height of over seven ters and a body length of nearly twelve ters. Counting the length of his neck and tail, his total length exceeded forty ters, and his maximum wingspan was close to fifty ters.
Now, when he stood up, he was steadily over twenty ters tall, akin to a building with seven or eight floors. If he raised his neck, he reached the height of a ten-story building, and even taller than the Fla Divine Successor. Encountering the Fla Divine Successor again would be different; with his current strength, he could entangle the opponent, making it difficult for them to escape, breaking them with sheer force.
Besides, Leon was certain his size would continue to grow. Eventually, he might grow to resemble the Bull Demon King, showing his true form: from head to tail, over 1,000 ters long, and from hoof to back, 800 ters high. Although this was far from Fatian Xiangdi, it was his permanent form without consuming Mana.
The final issue was that, even though he now had colossal size, his Mana hadn’t increased in power… enhancing lee skills significantly, at any given ti, he could only choose between lee combat or spells, with his challenge level likely remaining unchanged.
Upon hearing Leon had awoken and, after eating his fill, didn’t imdiately fall back into sleep, but instead checked his body and lay on the observation deck to enjoy the breeze, Cecilia imdiately climbed to the Volcano Top.
“Every ti I see the master, I’m amazed…” Cecilia remarked, “Such colossal size for a young dragon.”
“You’re not bad either, having the mature size of a Green Dragon before reaching adulthood,” Leon comforted. If he weren’t younger than Cecilia, with double her size, it would have been a comfort.
Leon looked at Cecilia, scanning over the Green Dragon with so anxiety. However, upon realizing that male sea elephants are several tis bigger than females yet still mate, he was relieved, preferring human form over dragon form.
Tassera, Salovis, Fiora, and even Isily ca one after another.
Now, Leon finally had the chance to understand the events of the past five years thoroughly.
He gained a new nickna, quite simple but rather fitting: “mobile disaster” — Wind Disaster. Not particularly pleasing, but better than sothing like Old Howl or Old Bone-Chewer.
His weapons and equipnt were all repaired, specially treated to withstand acid, and now stored in his Treasure Vault.
The Talia Alliance had been trying to get the Zhen Dan Kingdom to sign a peace treaty, awaiting his decision and delaying for this reason.
Edwin’s research into explosives was still not ready for battle but could be effectively used for mining.
The Druidic research finally bore fruit, successfully developing high-yield hybrid wheat.
His Contract Master, Pella, was quite formidable now, capable of single-handedly challenging a Fire Giant.
…
Among all these matters, Leon was most concerned with ensuring Cecilia kept an eye on the market for rare alchemy materials, accumulating quite a lot over five years.
“Where is the Fla Divine Successor’s body?”
Stored in the molten lava using magic preservation, the Fla Divine Successor’s body could now be retrieved… Although preserving that body each month required considerable money, Leon personally handled it, dissecting it into eight pieces, extracting energy-filled organs like eyeballs and the heart for alchemical use.
The products of the Fla Divine Successor were exceptional. Seeing those energy-filled alchemy materials, he decided to take a challenge and attempt to refine a Dragon and Tiger Golden Pill to enhance strength rather than a Dragon Tiger Rejuvenation Pill… He indeed wished to refine a pill to boost Mana, but the alchemy materials provided by the Fla Divine Successor did not allow it.
Refining a Golden Pill would take at least eighty-one days, whereas the challenge of refining an energy-enhancing Dragon Tiger Rejuvenation Pill would require more than half a year.
Leon wasn’t in a hurry to refine the pill, instead taking ti to rest and explore, noting Watchtower Port’s growth and the Erald Corridor remaining unchanged, even visiting the half-plane where the Fla Divine Successor rested, observing Fire Giants working as miners, with rare minerals nearly exhausted…
Without assurance, Leon hesitated to refine the Golden Pill. Fortunately, no Dragon Turtle or Kraken caused disturbances in this refinent process, and few would dare trespass on his Volcanic Island now.
After consuming a Golden Pill for strength and a Small Rejuvenation Pill for improving Mana, Leon no longer feared those potent adversaries like the Demon Lord or Great Devil with a challenge level of 26.
