THE DRAGON CHAIN EMPEROR

Chp 53: Looking for Riding Animals

"So how did I evolve into the Dark God completely?" manya curious.

"There are two ways we as heirs evolve, the first is by absorbing the energy of the world, this is too risky because it can tear down the foundation of this world that is already solid." Riona replied.

The first way is too risky. All I want is to evolve, not destroy the world. Although I hate this rotten world but if there is no world then how can I live?

"How about the second way?" my many.

Riona looked into my eyes deeply with a smile, then said, "You have to harvest the human soul."

"What is the human race?" I just don't accept a little.

"Yes, the human race is a unique race that can use all kinds of magic elements including special elements. So it's only natural that their souls are valuable evolutionary materials." Riona replied casually.

Now I think about it. Riona had lived for hundreds of years because she was a demon race, she traveled around the entire Lhigor continent and brought about harvesting the souls of the humans by using waves of monsters.

All that he did for the sake of being able to evolve into a real Demon Ancestor.

{Looks like you have to evolve, too, boy. Your opponent is getting stronger and stronger, so you have to choose what you will sacrifice to evolve, whether it is the energy of the world or the soul of your own race.}

Now Zetton's making me even more worried.

But what he said was indeed true, by evolving into a Dark God completely then my strength would be on par with the Gods and Goddesses, they would not be my greatest threat anymore if I had already evolved.

'I think I should prepare myself to slaughter my own race.' My inner.

「Dark God Sword Technique: First Technique: Dark Slash」

* SWOOOSH!! *

* SLASH!! *

Dozens of Minotour-type Rank-A monsters in front of me were instantly killed so easily just by using my first technique.

I looked towards Riona who had also killed the monsters that surrounded her, while Finley she was preparing to use her light magic.

「Light Magic: Purgatory Light!」

The holy light of Purgatory shone on the monsters and turned to ashes, but the magic also slightly hit Riona's arm, causing her to scream in pain.

"Aww!! Do you want to kill me, damn woman!" riona shouted holding onto her slightly charred arm.

"Sorry, I thought you were a monster." Finley replied with a flat face.

"Basic.." riona grumbled.

I'm starting to feel sorry for Riona who's always been bullied by Finley, but considering that Riona killed Finley's father makes me teach all Finley's abusive treatment.

No problem punishing him as long as it is not too excessive and beyond reasonable limits.

"You two stop it, we have to plan our journey for the future" I said, separating the two of them.

"Well." replied Finley and walked up to me.

After finishing the previous break, our stamina and strength had recovered even though it was not 100%, but at least we were able to continue our journey inside this dungeon.

By the way the three of us are still in the Great Dungeon part of the Lhigor continent, but we have reached the 5th floor out of some way.

Here the strongest monsters we encountered were just Rank-A monsters that we had just killed easily, maybe on the next floor we would encounter an S-Rank monster and up.

But for sure we can't spend too much of our time on this floor.

"We have to get the mounts" I said.

"Are you kidding me? Every creature we meet in this place wants to prey on us, how do we get a ride?"

"I believe you, River..."

Riona denied me, while Finley trusted me.

"Not to worry. I have a special way of taming a monster, even the strongest monster I can tame." I said.

More precisely Zetton who would tame him, he was a dark dragon known as the ancestor of the dragons and the King of monsters.

"You can always do the impossible, well I trust you." said Riona resignedly.

I smiled, "Then we have to find a strong, agile, and large monster to take us across this dungeon" I said.

The monster traits I mentioned earlier could not be on this floor, so we had to go down to the next floor to find a monster that suited my taste.

A few days later we finally reached the 6th floor quite easily because our opponent was just an A-Rank monster.

And as I had expected, the monster that greeted us on the 6th floor was an S-Rank monster, not just one but 5 S-Rank monsters at once.

But we can overcome all that by working together, Finley's holy magic is really very useful to fight monsters with dark elements even though Finley sometimes looks for opportunities to attack Riona.

But unfortunately I did not find a monster that suited my taste to be our mount, as a result we three went straight down to the 7th floor without resting at all...

"I hope we find the monster you want on the floor this time around." Riona looked very exhausted.

He was not exhausted from fighting monsters, but rather exhausted from having to face Finley who was always bothering him.

The three of us were walking in a very dark dungeon hallway, unlike before which was illuminated by glowing crystals like those in the capital's underground dungeon.

Finley and Riona were still engrossed in a fight behind me, while I sensed that there was something strange about the darkness in the hallway of this dungeon.

'It looks like Riona and Finley are not aware of it.

* swooosh.... *

A gentle gust of wind gushed through my black hair, instantly I instantly became alert and held the handle of the Master's black sword sheathed on my waist.

"What's the River?"

"Is there something?"

The two of them were completely unaware that there was a creature hiding in the darkness of this passageway.

I didn't answer their questions because I was still focused.

「Dark Magic: Night Vision!」

My eyes glowed red and along with that I could see the scene of the dungeon hallway more clearly, it was just an ordinary dark passage, but.

A fierce creature with very long wings and tail..

"Everyone, lookout!" my yelling.

Although the two of them could not feel any danger in the darkness, they still obeyed my words and became vigilant.

The snoring sounds of savage creatures rang out from within the darkness, along with a pair of yellow-colored predator eyes appearing to float on the ceiling of the passageway.

"Groan!" my orders are firm.

「Demon Ancestor Magic: Red Blood Strike!」

Riona's blood-red attack streaked fiercely and smashed into the ceiling of the passageway to shatter, but I could see the creature moving so fast that it left behind a black silhouette.

「Light Magic: Ambient Lighting!」

Feeling that this place was too dark to fight against the creature, Finley instantly illuminated this place with his light magic. This was not attack magic, so it had no impact on anyone except for the place that was originally dark to light.

We can clearly see the creature's shape now, it's a dark dragon just like Zetton but it has a much smaller body.

The creature smiled, revealing all of its sharp fangs, "Hehe, I never thought that the daughter of the Goddess of Light would get lost in this place."

"That thing can talk? How come?" I said a little surprised.

"It looks like he is equivalent to or surpassing a Rank-SSS monster .. moreover how could I not be aware of his existence." murmured Riona.

"It turns out you know a lot of things too when you're a woman. Introduce, my name is Zetton the Dragon God, kneel before me now! Haha...."

{Eh?}

It seemed that Zetton was very surprised to hear the little dragon claim to be him, while I was a little confused.

'What the fuck is with this Little Dragon.' my inner.
