At this moment, if the Fire Dragon had appeared to follow up with an attack, it would have surely dealt a heavy blow to Galen Yu and secured an advantage.
But the Ice Dragon waited and waited, yet the anticipated tail whip never came.
When it finally turned its head, it realized that despite their agreement to flank...
The Fire Dragon had actually turned tail and fled without a hint of hesitation!
"Roar! Damn that Fire Dragon! You despicable coward!"
Glaring at the Fire Dragon's retreating back, the Ice Dragon could only let out a roar of helpless rage.
Galen Yu was also somewhat surprised by this sudden development.
In the middle of the fight, the enemy got scared and ran?
"Does this mean God Yu literally scared the Fire Dragon away?"
"He sold out his teammate because he knew he couldn't win!"
"Even though that behavior is shameless, God Yu's presence is just too overwhelming!"
"The Fire Dragon was spooked! That pressure is insane!"
"Think about it—who wouldn't be scared? You run into a guy who won't die no matter how much you hit him, and he only gets stronger!"
"Putting myself in the Fire Dragon's shoes, I'd say I'd met a literal god!"
"A mythical beast meeting a god? Yeah, that definitely makes sense!"
He hadn't been at a disadvantage even when it was one against three; he'd held the upper hand.
Now that one Fire Dragon was dead and the other had fled, only the Ice Dragon remained.
Dealing with it was significantly easier now.
He only needed to use his speed advantage to kite the beast, dodging attacks while whittling it down with Phantom Blades from a distance.
Eventually, even the Ice Dragon couldn't survive Galen Yu's intensity.
"The Dragon God is watching! He won't let you get away with this!"
With a final wail, the Ice Dragon's corpse plummeted, crashing onto the chunk.
'It's a pity one managed to escape.'
Looking toward where the Fire Dragon had fled, Galen Yu felt a pang of regret.
Three giant dragons would have provided a massive amount of meat and bone; that stuff was great for staving off hunger.
Thinking of the boss meat from the Twilight Forest, it probably had other buffs too, making it very precious.
One escaped—think of all that lost food!
Fortunately, the only female dragon had died on his chunk.
Dragon Egg!
Flying back to the Sky Island chunk, Galen Yu was full of expectation.
He surveyed the Sky Island; aside from the breath attacks turning the surface into a clash of ice and fire, ruining the aesthetics...
The Sky Island core was completely unharmed.
The buildings were still standing, the machines were running, and the Redstone Cannons and Obsidian Portals were still in place.
At most, a few rails were broken or a portal had flickered out, but those were easy fixes.
Plus, blocks transformed by dragon breath would eventually revert to their original state over time.
Overall, the damage was limited.
'Fortunately, the battle was in the air and didn't affect the Sky Island too much.'
"The losses aren't bad. What happened to you all?"
If the fight had happened inside the Sky Island, the massive dragons would have leveled everything in their path, causing untold damage.
Amidst his relief, Galen Yu turned to the dazed Wandering Mage.
As if witnessing something that shattered his worldview, the Wandering Mage stood there with his mouth agape, as still as a wooden carving.
Galen Yu waved a hand in front of his face before he finally snapped out of it.
"Ah, oh... you... you're back! You actually killed the dragons!"
Stuttering slightly, the Wandering Mage was beyond excited.
A newcomer had single-handedly taken on three giant dragons!
Killing two and scaring one off—this was easily the strongest person he'd ever seen!
Looking at Galen Yu, his expression fluctuated wildly.
"If possible, please let me join your chunk! I want to be your servant!"
"This isn't a betrayal of Alloy Wargod... it's just that you've shown me the hope of the Sky Island!"
Join his chunk? Voluntarily become a servant?
Considering the abilities the Wandering Mage had shown, it wasn't a bad idea.
While Galen Yu was still thinking, the bullet chat outside the screen had already exploded.
"What are you doing? You're a mage from a high-level chunk!"
"You were a celebrity in the Alliance! Where is your pride!"
"You only tutored Ronan Mountwell as a favor, you high-and-mighty Master Mage!"
"He's literally betraying his chunk to be Galen Yu's servant?"
"God, is this a joke? How did it come to this?"
"But to be fair, if I saw a man solo three dragons, I'd defect too!"
"Even with the chunk buffs, Galen Yu himself is just a beast!"
Between the firearm worktable, the SlashBlade path, and saving Kira Oakmoor and Soren Park, the mage had always been a helpful figure.
In many viewers' minds, the Wandering Mage was a respected and powerful veteran.
Now, this veteran was practically begging to be a servant, looking like he was one step away from kneeling!
It was a massive shock that many viewers simply couldn't accept.
"We'll talk about that later. Right now, I want to see the dragon corpse."
Neither agreeing nor refusing, Galen Yu looked at the Ice Dragon.
After seeing how powerful they were, he really wanted to become a Dragon Knight!
Dragon Egg!
That was the priority right now.
"Right! A dragon's body is a literal treasure chest. We definitely shouldn't let it go to waste!"
Showing no sadness, the Wandering Mage hurriedly moved toward the corpse.
His sycophantic behavior caused many in the chat to lose their minds again.
A senior of the Alliance! Begging to join! And Galen Yu still has to consider it!
The gap between people is truly wider than the gap between a human and a dog!
"After a Fire Dragon dies, it usually drops six types of items."
"Dragon Scales, Fire Dragon Meat, a Fire Dragon Heart, a Dragon Skull, Fire Dragon Blood, and Dragon Bone."
"Specifically, scales drop one to eight, meat one to two, and bones zero to two."
"Precious materials like the skull, heart, and blood only drop one."
Despite being a giant dragon, it was still subject to the properties of the block world.
There was no need for meticulous butchery; the materials would drop automatically like loot from a chest.
Once Galen Yu gathered the items, the corpse began to fade, losing its skin and flesh until not even the skeleton remained.
"Dragon Scales!"
Seeing this, the Wandering Mage's eyes sparkled.
"Is there any loot more worth looking forward to? Using it as a precious material for scale mail is just the most basic application."
"Like its bones, dragon scales have properties similar to metal. They aren't forged directly like the bones, though."
"But in the hands of an alchemist, they undergo a wonderful chemical reaction with the most ordinary stones..."
Giant dragons were indeed treasures from top to bottom.
That wasn't just a saying.
Besides scales, 'Dragon Skull' is a general term for skulls dropped by exotic beasts, divided into Dragon and Exotic types—they are excellent decorative materials.
A Fire Dragon Heart is the most critical component for the core of certain magical creations.
Fire Dragon Meat is edible, restoring eight hunger points, but it sets you on fire for five seconds.
The most versatile material for weapon crafting, however, is Dragon Bone.
"Dragon bone has a high iron content, so it is black. It's as hard as iron, yet the material is extremely light and flexible, and naturally fireproof."
"It's no wonder the Dothraki prize dragonbone bows. With one, an archer can easily outrange any wooden bow."
