"I'm too lazy to do this kind of thing. Anyway, the world is so big, and there are so many kingdoms, so it's right to go around everywhere.
Food ingredients are the most important!
Next, I have one more important thing to do.
I wanted to find high-grade ingredients with water attributes before, but I couldn't find them.
The half-dragon man, Tursen, told me that there seemed to be some powerful monsters with water attributes in the South Sea Bay, but it was also filled with overlords.
Dragon Bay is right next to the Star Vortex Mountain Range.
It's not too far from here, and I plan to try my luck.
As for the affairs of the Saranian Kingdom, I intend to let these dark creatures under my command struggle hard so that the best one emerges and can live in Monster City.
I will deal with it when someone of importance comes forward.
I don't care much about casualties; after all, this is one of my goals.
Only those who survive are the elite and the most powerful.
As for the dead, no creature will remember them.
"Algerta, stay here and take care of our home. Don't let anyone steal it!" I told Algerta, who was on the side, flew into the sky, and left the area.
Hannah looked at her brother's departing figure anxiously, curled her lips, and then secretly glanced at Argenta next to her.
She already knew that Argenta was a silver dragon—or rather, a silver dragon that was about to grow up.
She really doesn't know how the Black Dragon abducted her back. She heard that Argenta even brought her elder brother, a golden dragon.
"Little guy!" Argenta shook her long silver hair.
Then she walked toward Hannah with a smile and touched Hannah's dragon horn.
"Black Dragons were very cute when they were children. Can you tell me who your mother is? Why did you let your father raise you?" Argenta asked curiously.
Aren't mother dragons generally responsible for raising their babies? What is it for a male dragon to bring up a child? Isn't this female dragon too irresponsible?
Hannah: ? ? ?
Seeing the expectant expression on the other side, Hannah rolled her eyes. She felt that the silver dragon might have a brain problem.
That's right, she must have been abducted by her brother because of her brain problems.
The two stared at each other for a long time, and both felt that they could not communicate.
At this time, Geraint rushed in hastily.
He glanced around and found that only his sister and the little Black Dragon were there.
"Sister, where is Lord Barbatos?"
"Master Barbatos has been away for a while, and I don't know where he went!" Argenta responded.
"Brother, what's the matter with you?"
"Sister, the Lord has launched a large-scale war against the human kingdom, and now..." Geraint said anxiously.
"I know this because they captured Lord Barbatos's child. Isn't this a lesson for mankind?" Argenta said naturally.
"Lesson?"
Geraint thought of the deserted cities on the ground that he had flown over, ravaged by dark creatures.
There were also countless humans killed or injured. Was this a lesson?
Forget it. How did my sister change...
Geraint always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

I flew all the way for some time.
Finally, I saw a high mountain range, which should be several thousand meters high! I increased my speed twofold, and with the addition of my newly invented pseudo-spell Push of the Wind, I managed to cross it in just one day!
According to Tursen, one can see the sea by flying over this mountain range.
After a while, I arrived at Dragon Bay, where some flying beasts seemed to be entrenched.
I casually grabbed an unknown rabbit-like magical beast, threw it into my mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
Keep flying!
Soon, I flew to my destination: Dragon Bay.
The beautiful sea could be seen clearly from here.
This was the first time I saw the ocean in this world.
It should not have been polluted by the industrialization of the previous life. The seawater here was clean and transparent, showing several different shades of blue.
With my amazing eyesight, I also saw some colorful corals underwater.
The bay as a whole was crescent-shaped. What I saw alone was a silver-white sandy beach stretching more than one meter, and the sand grains were very white and delicate.
Other places—I didn't know how far they extended.
The green plants on the shore were lush, and there were some very steep stone walls.
If this place existed in modern times, it would probably be a very popular tourist attraction.
Soon, I detected the breath of some other creatures.
"Interesting!"
I slowly flew to the top of the cliff nearby.
Immediately, countless wyverns flew out from the dense bushes.
They screeched around me.
"So many wyverns!"
The appearance of this kind of bipedal wyvern is somewhat similar to that of a true dragon, but their size is much smaller.
They only have two feet, and their claws are a bit like those of birds.
Some feathers covered their wings, and their tails were barbed.
I looked at the largest wyvern among them. It was much larger than the others.
Its body length should be more than 11 meters, and its wingspan more than 20 meters. It looked very fierce.
These creatures couldn't speak, but they all stared at me fiercely.
However, the chief wyvern seemed very afraid of me. It seemed to want me to leave without a fight.
I released my dragon's might and let out a deafening dragon roar.
The wyverns were stimulated by the dragon's aura and my roar, causing chaos.
Some even fell directly to the ground.
But there was no scene of them immediately submitting, as I had thought.
Instead, they still looked at me fiercely.
I understood that although wyverns are close relatives of true dragons, their wisdom is quite limited, akin to low-level warcraft.
If I wanted to conquer them, I had to rely on actual strength!
I rushed directly at the leader Wyvern, and my speed with the wind attribute bonus easily brought me to the leader of the Wyvern before it could process what was happening.
Then, a paw grabbed the opponent's neck.
The 11-meter body length of the Wyvern leader was completely incomparable to Saron's 43-meter body length, and its wings kept flapping.
The barb on its tail was still trying to stab toward my body, attempting to inject venom, but my scale armor defense was simply not something it could break through.
I let the opponent's wings flap and its paws scratch as if I were holding a chick.
I slapped the Wyvern leader in the face, and I didn't use any strength.
Otherwise, this guy wouldn't be able to withstand the slap and would be killed.
The Wyverns also began to slow down and attack me.
The attack methods of these guys were very simple: biting, grabbing, and attacking with the poisonous thorn on their tails.
I grabbed the neck of the Wyvern leader and began to fly high into the sky, ignoring the tickling attacks of the other Wyverns.
I flew higher and higher: 4,000 meters, 6,000 meters, 9,000 meters...
By the time I reached an altitude of about 10,000 meters, the wind here had reached a very terrifying intensity.
I controlled the wind element, and my scale armor defense was very strong, so there was no serious problem.
But the leader of the Wyverns was miserable; it had never flown to such a high place by itself.
It could hardly open its eyes due to the strong wind blowing around it, and it also felt severe pain throughout its body.
I used my telepathic ability to send a message to this guy.
"Surrender to me! Or die!"
"Don't... think..." I sensed the intermittent mental thoughts of the Wyvern leader.
"Then let's see how strong your courage is!"
I let go of the opponent's neck, and my claws grabbed the wings of the Wyvern leader, preventing it from flying with its wings open.
Without hesitation, I folded my wings tightly against my back, plunging us into a free fall from the sky. The air whipped past us in a deafening roar, and the speed of our descent increased with every passing second as the ground rushed up to meet us.
The Wyvern leader's screams echoed in pure terror, its voice cracking with panic. Yet I remained unfazed, my expression cold and my resolve unshaken.
5,000 meters.
3,000 meters.
1,000 meters.
Each heartbeat brought us closer to the earth, and still, I did not relent. The Wyvern leader's bravado crumbled as we hurtled toward the inevitable.
At 500 meters, it broke.
"You… win… I… surrender!"
"Good." My voice was calm, sharp with finality.
With a powerful sweep, I unfurled my wings, and the rush of wind screamed against them. I summoned the full force of wind manipulation, conjuring powerful gusts to slow our descent. The air itself became my ally, pushing back with immense resistance. The momentum bled away until, with a graceful glide, I touched down softly on the beach, the sand crunching beneath my feet.
For me, such a sudden halt was child's play—a test of precision and mastery. For him, it was a brush with death.
The surrounding Wyverns closed in after seeing it. The Wyvern leader roared at the others.
Then, the Wyvern leader folded its wings in front of me and fell down to express its surrender. Immediately afterward, all the Wyverns also lowered their heads and landed on the ground to show their submission to me.
I was very happy looking at these hundreds of Wyverns. This was my very own air force, with Ava and Isha.
I looked at the Wyvern leader in front of me.
"From today onwards, I will be your master!"
Then, I planted the twisted seeds into the opponent's body, and under the gaze of all the Wyverns, the body of the Wyvern leader began to undergo drastic changes.
The original light red scales began to fall off, and at the same time, the muscles on the surface of its body grew stronger.
The entire body began to grow larger, from the original 11 meters to 13 meters in length, and the surface of its body became covered with black scales.
The leader of the Wyverns saw its own changes and grew excited, looking at me with fanaticism.
I had just conquered it in the air and allowed it to evolve into this super biped Wyvern.
This made it extremely excited.
I nodded; the change in the Wyvern leader was within my expectations.
"From today on, you will be called Drogon!" I said.
"Drogon!" the Wyvern leader repeated.
It felt like its life would be different from today onwards.
---
After subduing the Wyverns, I flew over the sea again.
According to Drogon, this was a shallow sea, so there were no special monsters.
There were only some common fish and marine life, which they generally hunted here.
If I truly wanted to find those powerful marine creatures, I would have to venture deeper into the ocean.
But there were some places where even the Wyvern King felt terrified.
I knew there must be many powerful monsters in such places or other dangerous elements.
I asked the Wyvern King to take me to the open sea.
Soon, I felt that Drogon and I had already flown a distance of tens of thousands of meters.
When I got to this place, I could hardly see any small islands—only the boundless blue ocean.
At this time, I suddenly discovered a huge ship appearing on the sea; its length should have been more than 150 meters.
It was undoubtedly a giant ship in this world.
It appeared to be a transport ship, with the cargo onboard clearly full.
The people above seemed to have also discovered Drogon and me. After all, we were only 800 meters away from the sea.
"Captain, there seem to be two dragons in the sky, and they are staring at us!" a crew member said with a solemn expression to the captain of the ship.
"Activate the protective magic circle and prepare the soldiers and spellcasters onboard!" the captain calmly issued an order.
Living and sailing in the ocean all year round, the strength of their giant ship was not weak; even a dragon couldn't easily defeat them.
The Wyvern King let out a roar.
I understood what he meant. His strength had just improved significantly, and he was feeling a little arrogant, eager to attack this giant ship.
"Don't rush!" I stopped him.
I found something more interesting and didn't bother watching the giant ship slowly being blocked by the blue magic shield.
Instead, I focused on observing the water near the ship.
The crew below were relieved to see that the two dragons above did not attack.
"It seems the other party should be more afraid of us," the captain comforted everyone.
However, his heart was already on high alert. Despite the distance, he could clearly see that the size of that dragon was already astonishing. If it truly launched an attack, it would be trouble.
But the size of that dragon is already amazing. If it really launches an attack, it will be troublesome.
Fortunately, the other party did not...
Just as he was thinking this way, suddenly the entire hull shook violently.
"What happened?"
Everyone on board panicked, and some ordinary people fell directly onto the deck.
Before everyone on the boat could react, the entire magic shield shattered directly.
Accompanied by a deep and heavy roar, the giant ship was directly smashed into pieces by an incomparably huge monster, and countless cargo and crew members fell into the deep sea.
I could see clearly from the sky.
The huge mouth of this monster was full of sharp teeth, there were two dragon horns on its head, and its body was covered with black and blue scales.
Behind it was a huge turtle shell covered with spikes.
The one who attacked the giant ship was one of the most terrifying creatures in the sea—a huge dragon turtle!
The length of the turtle shell alone was more than 80 meters, and the tail was estimated to extend more than 100 meters.
According to the size of the dragon, it already belonged to the category of Giant Dragon!
Even though the Wyvern King beside me was so far away, there were disturbing noises. If I wasn't still here, the Wyvern King would probably have followed its instincts and escaped from here long ago.
At this time, the battle below was coming to an end, and from my view, this was a one-sided massacre.
Under the attack of the dragon turtle's extremely powerful jaws, the giant ship shattered without being able to support itself for even a second.
Countless crew members and soldiers fell directly into the seawater, and some were eaten by the dragon turtle.
Immediately, human tragedies unfolded on the sea, with some ordinary people desperately holding on to broken wooden boards and the like.
Even if the dragon turtle didn't attack them, they couldn't survive in this endless sea.
This guy seemed to enjoy doing this kind of thing immensely.
"Drogon, you stay here. I'll meet this guy!" I said and flew down.
As expected, this guy should be the top-order water attribute monster I was looking for.
My huge body directly hit the shell of the dragon turtle that was gnawing on the wreckage of the giant ship.
I was aiming for the head, but the guy's body was too big, and I was out of position with a little movement.
