Tale of the Red Dragon Without Dragon's Might-Chapter 381 - 376 Preparation Work

Regardless of how Jasas contacts those Fire Giants residing on the Lost Plateau after obtaining the token of the Flame Divine Successor, Leon used the Long Rainbow Escape to leave the demi-plane where the Flame Divine Successor resides, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the Volcanic Island.

"Prepare some food for me immediately." Having not enjoyed the meals in the demi-plane, and just experiencing a fierce battle, Leon, upon landing, immediately called for the Tiefling maids to prepare food for him and also notified everyone to drop everything and come see him at once.

After the Tiefling maid left, Leon took out the sword forged by Jasas from the small space within the Sleeve of the Universe, grateful for the Flame Divine Successor "returning" it to him.

This sword is undoubtedly a legendary weapon, and binding it would require a considerable amount of time. For this reason, Leon just took it out for a closer look. Aside from being large, it appeared simple yet unpretentious, with a restrained sharpness.

"How did you return so quickly?" Salovis came uninvited; for a dragon, a year or two could pass in a mere nap, equivalent to a month or two in human eyes.

"Is this the sword that you had the Fire Giants forge for you?" She noticed the sword in Leon’s hand, and just one glance made her tuck her neck in, feeling a chill around her neck, "It looks extremely dangerous."

"Of course." Leon gave his sister a side glance, "This is a Dragon Slaying Sword."

"Dragon Slaying Sword?" Salovis exclaimed, knowing that killing enemy dragons was one thing—which happened often—but crafting a weapon specifically to slay dragons was another matter altogether, "Why did you have the Fire Giants forge a Dragon Slaying Sword? Who do you intend to kill?"

"Certainly not to kill you." Leon wasn’t in a good mood, "To kill you, I don’t need a Dragon Slaying Sword, just a slap would suffice."

"Did someone hit you?" Salovis snarled at Leon, hitting his sore point with a casual remark. It must be said that as Leon’s sibling, she might have some telepathic connection, "Don’t vent your anger on me; find the one who hit you."

"What if I want to vent on you?" Leon raised his paw and lightly tapped Salovis on the head—no need for undue anger, "I can’t beat him, but I can beat you."

"No way, you got beaten up? Who could possibly beat you?" Salovis was shocked, unable to imagine anyone on the Material Plane who could best her brother; could it be the Golden Dragon Leader, only chosen from the ranks of Ancient Golden Dragons and serving for life?

"I struck back, but I must admit I gained nothing. An evenly matched opponent," Leon put his chin on the floor, "a Flame Divine Successor."

"A Flame, Flame Divine Successor..." Salovis knew how formidable a Flame Divine Successor was; although not a true god, akin to a demigod, her voice turned stammering, "You, how did you provoke the Flame Divine Successor?"

Leon didn’t answer Salovis because the Tiefling maid soon brought the food.

Leon started eating heartily, thoroughly satisfied. He waited until Tassera, Cecilia, Fiora, Anglistra... all of Tassera’s cousins were town officials elsewhere, and two other Green Dragons couldn’t make it for a while. When everyone assembled, he recounted his encounter with the Flame Divine Successor.

Leon, wanting to save face, deliberately downplayed the incident where he had been deceived by the Fire Giant Furnace Master.

"Why aren’t you saying anything?" Leon thought everyone would be excited, especially Anglistra and Salovis, who always craved war, yet surprisingly, it was so quiet.

"Is the war between giants and dragons going to start again?" Grianna, being a lover of peace among the Metallic Dragons and Silver Dragons, commented, "No one can bear the repercussions of provoking a war between giants and dragons."

"You foolish dragon, what are you talking about?" Salovis immediately stood up, "The war was initiated by that Flame Divine Successor; we are merely passive respondents."

Cecilia cautiously spoke, "While giants may not be as strong as us dragons, they’re not weak either. The Flame Divine Successor has influence; he could gather all the Fire Giants from the Lost Plateau, but we can’t summon those dragons living there..."

"If the Flame Divine Successor gathers all the Fire Giants from the Lost Plateau, our chances of winning would be low." Fiora, as a bronze dragon adept in warfare, suggested, "Perhaps we should launch an attack before they fully assemble."

Anglistra looked around and said, "Maybe we could seek Lord Tiamat’s help. If the enemies are giants, He would definitely be willing to aid us."

"The Flame Divine Successor intends to destroy the Zhen Dan Kingdom, which is not an evil nation... Lord Bahamut won’t sit idly by." Isily, being a diplomat, affirmed, "I know where there are Golden Dragons."

Tassera looked at her Mage Tower and stated, "The Focusing Eye can harm the Flame Divine Successor, but it has range limitations, only within the Volcanic Island."

"I can summon demons for assistance." The dwarf female Mage hid under the Blue Dragon’s wing, her short stature making her hard to spot among the dragons.

Edwin, also a high-ranking member of the Zhen Dan Kingdom, mentioned, "My research on explosives has shown some results; they can be used to crack mountains but may not be very effective against Fire Giants."

Leon remained silent throughout, quietly listening to everyone’s statements before speaking up after a long moment. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Don’t be afraid, the Flame Divine Successor isn’t that formidable, and Fire Giants are easier to deal with."

"Cecilia, contact all the major guilds, have them deliver all the alchemy materials over. I’ll pay them afterward... Anyone willing to help us will be our friends, otherwise, those who don’t collaborate will be our enemies."

"Mother, you can’t sleep anymore; from now on, you need to wholeheartedly assist me with alchemy... We’ll talk about money later, I’m not joking with you."

"Tassera, head to Crossroads City and call your parents back... You could also try talking to Delaguna; if he agrees to help us, I bear no grudge."

"What about that Dragon Turtle? How can it sleep? Never mind, that lazy, foolish, and greedy Dragon Turtle isn’t to be relied upon. So, Cecilia, you’ll have to reach out to that Kraken... Doesn’t it loathe gods? A demigod’s heir should do for a bit. Besides, I’ll reduce its work by fifty years for this one favor."

"Eggon, clear an area outside Watchtower Port, that will be our battlefield."

"Grianna, go find Mankus and ask which side he’s on. If he chooses us, allow him to make amends. I have a task for him to delay the Fire Giants’ assembly."

"Isily, your task is..."

Indeed, Leon had already made plans.
