Drake's opponent was a hornless dragon with scales like alloy and a head like a sharp awl. Its attribute was Diamond, possessing outstanding attack power and defense.
Drake was sent flying by the Diamond Dragon's wing, directly collapsing a clock tower.
Pulling his arm out from under the rubble, Drake looked at the Diamond Dragon with fiery eyes.
Not counting the dragon-shaped monsters he had encountered in other worlds, fighting a genuine dragon was already the third time for Drake.
The first time was Acnologia. Drake had to admit that he had only stalled him for a very short time when Acnologia wasn't being serious.
The second time was with Ignia. Although Drake had achieved his goal, the fact was that Drake hadn't won against that brother of his in a sense either.
But this time was completely different. Compared to those two times, Drake had become much stronger.
Moreover, the Diamond Dragon was far less powerful than the Black Dragon and the Flame God Dragon.
The Diamond Dragon lowered its head to look at Drake. A large area of the scales on its shoulder had been shattered by the collision, and it was still aching.
Being injured wasn't much to the dragon race, whose blood flowed with violence, but being injured by a human was different.
The Diamond Dragon said in a dull voice, "This power, it's the power of the same race. I heard that the coexistence faction of fools gave their power to humans. Is that how you got your power?"
Drake looked directly at the Diamond Dragon without flinching, and said, "That's right, this is Dragon Slayer Magic, taught by dragons, used to hunt dragons.
Then, as a reward for me answering your question, shouldn't you also answer my doubts?"
The Diamond Dragon lowered its head and said, "A mere human, do you think that by obtaining the power of my race, you can talk to me on equal terms? But even as a reward for you being able to shatter my scales, I allow you to ask!"
Drake said, "Why did you come here? In other words, what is your purpose?"
The dragons in the original plot had been summoned to this era by Future Rogue's Dragon Subjugation Magic. This time, he didn't know why the dragons had still passed through the Eclipse Gate.
The Diamond Dragon laughed loudly and said, Why? Of course it's for magic power! Although I don't know what that suddenly appearing entrance is, we can clearly sense the abundant magic power on the other side.
Although I don't know what this place is yet, it's been a long time since I've breathed in such magic-rich air!
Drake suddenly understood. The reason why they, this group of Dragon Slayers, had been sent to this era was because this era had more abundant magic power compared to four hundred years ago, allowing everyone to grow faster.
The Diamond Dragon continued, "That's why I said that the coexistence faction are all a bunch of fools. They even want to share that limited magic power with humans. If it's this place, it doesn't matter if humans continue to eke out an existence!"
Drake raised an eyebrow. Listening to the Diamond Dragon's words, there was an inside story to that human-dragon war.
Drake had thought that the difference in attitude towards humans wasn't enough to make the dragon race wage such a tragic war.
Dragons themselves weren't beings with a strong sense of group, so even if there were differences, they could just mind their own business. It was unreasonable to start a war for this reason.
Whether it was humans or dragons, the stronger they were, the more they craved magic power. And four hundred years ago was an era of magic power depletion.
It wasn't enough for the dragon race to divide the magic power among themselves, so how could they be willing to let humans also take a share?
So some dragons despised humans, and even wanted to wipe them out. And other dragons had been living with humans, and the two sides had long developed bonds.
The conflict between the two sides had reached an irreconcilable level, and the war broke out.
In the end, it was still that limited resources couldn't meet everyone's needs. It really wasn't anything new.
Drake sighed and said, "Perhaps you don't know what the situation is in this era, but as you said, in this era, we no longer have a reason to fight!"
Drake was sincere in saying this. Having been raised by dragons, Drake was absolutely certain that humans and dragons, as intelligent beings, didn't need to fight to the death.
Moreover, with Acnologia, who was an enemy to both humans and dragons, humans and dragons could completely cooperate.
The Diamond Dragon showed a mocking expression and said, "Human brat, are you surrendering to me?
But that's not surprising. Humans have always been just slaves and food for my race!"
Drake let out a breath. When he sensed the malice that didn't carry negative emotions from the other side, Drake knew that negotiation was useless. It was just that he wasn't willing to give up.
Dragons were creatures at the top of the world. Their powerful bodies and invincible magic and magic power gave them incorrigible pride.
And that pride also made it difficult for them to coexist with "weak" humans.
At least most dragons had the same attitude towards humans as the Diamond Dragon. They wouldn't even think that there was anything wrong with their actions harming humans.
So Drake had no other choice. He could only use his magic's original purpose, to hunt this dragon.
Flames soared into the sky. Drake activated Dragon Flame Armor and Dragon Blood Martial Body, and even the Ring of the Nibelungen began to activate.
Dragonic features appeared on Drake's body, and Drake's aura also made the Diamond Dragon, who had been laughing, become serious.
The era connected by the Eclipse Gate wasn't confirmed to be which period of the war, but at least the activity of the Dragon Slayers hadn't started yet.
So the Diamond Dragon was also fighting a Dragon Slayer for the first time, but in that instant, it had already begun to curse the coexistence faction of its race.
"Those fools, they actually created such a monster!"
At this time, the Diamond Dragon no longer dared to think that the other party was an insignificant human. This sense of threat even exceeded what some powerful members of its own race could give it.
The full power activation of the skill Dragon Slayer further deepened Drake's dragonification, and even his voice became more muffled with a hint of echo.
"Then, here I come!"
In the Diamond Dragon's eyes, a huge phantom appeared behind Drake, who was rushing over. It was familiar with that majestic figure.
"Igneel!"
The Diamond Dragon spat out this name from its mouth full of fangs. It had encountered this mainstay of the coexistence faction on the battlefield.
As the Fire Dragon King, who was also at the top of the dragon race, he actually fought his own race for the sake of humans.
Although the Diamond Dragon loathed Igneel, it had to admit that Igneel's strength was far above its own.
The Igneel phantom swung its fist, and among them was Drake, who was also punching.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
The Diamond Dragon's head was heavily hit by a punch, and shattered scales and fangs flew out.
The Diamond Dragon turned its head, and its red vertical pupils were full of killing intent. It slapped down with a claw.
The Diamond attribute magic gave the dragon claw indestructible destructive power. Drake naturally wouldn't fight head-on, and flew up with greater agility to avoid the falling dragon claw.
The dust that had been kicked up instantly dispersed, revealing the Diamond Dragon with its mouth open. A powerful magic power swirled and gathered in the dragon's mouth, and the dust had been blown away by this.
"Diamond Dragon's Roar!"
Drake stabilized his body, and also opened his mouth.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
A metallic torrent and a fiery spiral were released towards each other, and then directly collided, releasing a terrifying explosion.
