Ch 61: Discovering The Paladin

The Red Dragon told Chen Wen his name.

He was called Dak.

He wanted to remove the damned sword from his back quickly, so he quickly began teaching Chen Wen to speak.

The principle of sound production is the same for any race; it relies on the vibration of the vocal cords.

However, the Dragon Clan is large in size, and their internal magic power is very strong. Their vocal cords must also withstand the high temperature of Dragon Flame, resulting in extremely tough vocal cords that are difficult to control.

It’s not a problem to control the vocal cords to roar, but it’s more difficult to produce delicate and complex language.

Therefore, the Dragon Clan cannot learn to speak like the Human Race, where children learn to speak by imitating adults.

Special training is required to produce language.

This training involves using internal magic power to control the vocal cords, rather than simply using muscles and airflow.

After several days of training, Chen Wen could slowly pronounce some simple words.

“I… I… I…”

“You… You…”

“He… He…”

“Gold…”

He practiced again and again. He originally practiced in the cave, but he disturbed the Red Dragon’s sleep, so he was driven outside.

Chen Wen didn’t mind and practiced outside.

On this day, Chen Wen was practicing the pronunciation of several newly learned words when he suddenly noticed several people intruding into the Red Dragon’s territory.

At the same time, Dak roared in the cave and rushed out.

“The stench of Holy Knights!”

His voice was filled with furious anger.

Chen Wen saw that the direction he flew towards was where someone had broken in.

He quickly followed.

On the outskirts of the mountain range, four Holy Knights in silver armor were chasing a person in a blue-black cloak.

“Great God of Light, please grant me the sacred power to annihilate the evil heretics!” A young Holy Knight prayed while chasing, and then a light shone from his longsword.

The young man immediately launched an attack towards the person in the blue-black cloak.

The person sensed the attack from behind and dodged it with a sidestep.

The young Holy Knight muttered, “Too bad.”

At that moment, someone patted him on the head.

He looked back and saw Cairns, the captain leading the group.

Cairns scolded, “Endo, how many times have I told you, when casting Holy Light Magic, you don’t need to pray.”

Endo said unconcernedly, “No, Captain Cairns, our power comes from the sacred God of Light. I believe that praying every time we use our power is a devout act.

Only sufficient piety can gain the God of Light’s greater attention and obtain more power.”

Cairns: “…”

Now is not the time to educate the young man; they’ll deal with it after catching the person from the Immaculate God Sect.

He quickened his pace, launching Holy Light Magic at the person from the Immaculate God Sect.

He didn’t expect to hit them with this attack; it was merely to slow them down.

To avoid this attack, the opponent’s speed did indeed slow down considerably.

Cairns’ gaze was sharp as he sped up the chase.

“Captain Cairns, you didn’t pray,” Endo said, catching up.

Cairns: “…”

At that moment, a Dragon Roar came from afar.

Everyone trembled, involuntarily stopping and hiding behind trees, vigilantly watching the sky.

“Don’t move, it’s probably just passing by,” Cairns said.

After a while, they saw a Red Dragon fly over their heads, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

It really seemed to be just passing by.

The Red Dragon hadn’t gone far, and they dared not move rashly.

Dak flew towards this direction, feeling strange. He clearly sensed the aura of Holy Light Magic, but he didn’t see any Holy Knights.

He circled in the vicinity.

The people below held their breath; the Red Dragon hadn’t left, as if it was looking for something.

Could it be looking for them?

The young Holy Knights began praying for the Red Dragon to leave soon.

The person from the Immaculate God Sect rolled their eyes, then smiled evilly with a cold glint in their eyes.

They fired a spell into the sky, then launched an attack at the Holy Knights.

Cairns was startled. In an instant, he understood that the person from the Immaculate God Sect wanted to drag them to their deaths.

The spell they fired into the sky would definitely attract the Red Dragon; there was no point in hiding anymore.

He quickly actiWatayd his Holy Light Shield, standing in front of everyone to block the attack from the person from the Immaculate God Sect.

“Run! Get out of here!” Cairns shouted.

Dak, circling in the air, saw a spell shoot out from the forest nearby, and then sensed the aura of Holy Light Magic again.

“Found you, damned Holy Knights.”

Dak flew towards where the Holy Light aura appeared and spewed a blast of Dragon Flame.

Cairns and the others felt the scorching aura approaching and quickly actiWatayd their Holy Light Shields.

With the protection of the Demon-Repelling Armor and the Holy Light Shield, they were not injured by the Dragon Flame.

After the Dragon Flame subsided, Cairns immediately told the three young Holy Knights to run.

“Captain, what about you?!” Endo asked.

“Don’t worry about me, go back to Lons City Church and report. There’s a Red Dragon here.”

The three young men hesitated.

Cairns roared, “Don’t let me die in vain!”

The three young men gritted their teeth and left.

Cairns: “Great God of Light, please grant me the sacred power to annihilate this evil dragon!”

Of course, he knew his strength was insufficient to kill the Red Dragon before him, but as long as he could buy some time for the young men to escape, it would be enough.

His body glowed, slowly rising into the air.

Dak knew they hadn’t died; he hadn’t intended to let them die so easily.

He had been tormented by that Holy Sword for several years, and he would certainly return the torment.

Although these people weren’t the ones who injured him, they were Holy Knights nonetheless.

So, the Dragon Flame earlier was only to burn down the surrounding trees; he hadn’t used his full power, and he couldn’t use his full power now.

Seeing Cairns flying up, glowing with light, Dak roared and pounced.

Cairns was not to be outdone and charged towards Dak as well.

Watching the dragon and man battle in the sky, the person from the Immaculate God Sect wore an expression of triumphant scheming.

Cairns was no match for Dak and quickly fell into a disadvantage.

He fought and retreated, trying to lure the Red Dragon to a more distant location to allow Endo and the others to escape.

He hadn’t retreated far when a spell struck him from behind.

At the same time, the Red Dragon’s attack arrived. He couldn’t dodge both attacks simultaneously, so he avoided the Red Dragon’s attack and took the hit from behind.

The spell from behind was naturally cast by the person from the Immaculate God Sect.

He could have left, but he was more unwilling to see the Church’s Holy Knights escape alive than to leave himself.

He had been chased for a long time, suffering considerable injuries, and his internal magic power was almost depleted. If he pursued the three fleeing Holy Knights, he might not be able to stop them all, so he simply ambushed Cairns, letting the Red Dragon deal with Cairns before going after the others.

He struck without mercy. Even with the Holy Light protection and Demon-Repelling Armor, Cairns was struck and spat out blood.

Dak seized Cairns. He didn’t thank the person from the Immaculate God Sect for their help.

On the contrary, he was very annoyed that someone had interfered with his fight.

He roared and flew towards that person.

That person didn’t expect the Red Dragon to thank him; in fact, he knew very well that his intervention would enrage the Red Dragon.

But so what?

He only wanted the people of the Church of Light to die; exchanging himself for four of them wasn’t a loss.

Dak lashed out with its tail.

The person offered no resistance, spreading their arms and laughing loudly, welcoming the Red Dragon’s attack.

“
