Chapter 212 - 212: The Truth
Translator: Lonelytree
When the pair of dragon horns on the dragonâs head appeared in Matthewâs field of vision, his first reaction was shock.
âRed Dragon?â
No, that wasnât right.
Soon, he realized that the dragon in front of him was very different from a real red dragon.
His horns resembled that of a red dragon, but below his neck, the style was completely different. Under the fine and rough scales, this guyâs bloated and short neck almost merged with his fat body.
It was not difficult to see through the cracks of the collapsed buildings.
This dragon was almost as fat as a meatball!
His weak forelimbs were completely buried in the fat on his chest, and his hind legs were hidden in the building, making it impossible to see them clearly.
Matthew instantly calmed down.
This was a standard sub-dragon with at least a quarter of the red dragon bloodline. Judging from its appearance, it was most likely a sub-dragon species that was a hybrid of a red dragon and an earth dragon.
In other words, it was a true Ground Fire Dragon.
This kind of monster could not be underestimated, but it was far inferior to a true dragon.
After the dragon roared.
A large number of rainforest creatures were scared away.
The Ground Fire Dragonâs head hung limply on the only remaining wooden shelf.
His golden vertical pupils stared at Matthew and the others. Immediately after.
An extremely dignified voice sounded in everyoneâs ears,
âSave me!â
âPlease save me!â
Matthew turned to look at White.
The Fairy Warlock shrugged.
âThey didnât let me in there before. They only said it was a secret place, but I heard from Blinken that he caught a fire dragon and put it in there for breeding. â
Breeding?
Matthew looked at the fat Ground Fire Dragon again.
The latter sobbed with snot and tears,
âThatâs right. That damned Necromancer, Blinken, locked me up in the desert for five years. Five years. Do you know how I survived? Every day, when I open my eyes, I eat, mate, eat, mate. Iâm almost driven crazy by him!
âDonât think that Iâm fat. In fact, I wasnât fat at all before. I was very flexible. It was really because of Blinkenâs conspiracy and the pressure of breeding in the past few years that I became like this!
âItâs all that bastardâs fault! Well, since you heroes are here, that bastard Blinken must have been destroyed by you, right?â
Matthew looked at him curiously. âYou speak the common language fluently.â
âThank you.â
The Ground Fire Dragon replied politely,
â My name is Arutelon. My grandfather was a powerful Red Dragon, but my father was not. He was just a Fire Dragon that only knew how to fight and go into heat. Fortunately, my mother, who was a fairy, was smart enough to save my bloodline in time. She made me more intelligent and charming. In fact, when I slim down, you will find that I am not bad-looking.â
As he spoke, Aru stretched out his five claws, wanting to scratch his chin.
However, because he was too fat, his claws could not reach his chin no matter what. Aru was so anxious that he bounced around in circles. In the end, it was Matthew who accurately fired five Arcane Missiles to solve his urgent problem.
Matthew turned around and discussed with the team for a while. Everyone felt that the Ground Fire Dragon was not a threat, so they planned to enter the Central Tower to take a look at the situation. They would decide whether to release this hybrid and intelligent sub-dragon.
Although a part of the tower had collapsed, the remaining parts were still relatively strong.
Matthew and the others carefully walked in.
In the tower, they found the lower body of Aru, which was even fatter. His stomach and buttocks took up almost two-thirds of the space inside the tower. The remaining feet, tail, and short wings could only be tucked under his stomach and on the sides. It looked no different from a ball.
Aruâs body was pierced with more than 30 thick iron chains.
These chains were also pasted with magic incantations.
âAre these incantations used to restrict your movements?â
Matthew asked.
âNo, a part of it is used to help me move. As you can see, Iâm too fat now. I canât even turn over on my own.â
Despite being locked up as a breeding tool for five years, Aru still looked optimistic.
âAnd the other part, uh, is the one stuck to my stomach and tail. Please help me get rid of it. Itâs used to induce lust.
âBloody Blinken, you canât imagine what he did to me!â
Matthew and his companions checked the situation in the tower while chatting with Aru.
âHow did you get caught by him?â
Aru complained,
â At first, I lived in the depths of the Underdark without a care in the world. Unfortunately, one day, the little Black Dragon of the Extreme Frost City went crazy and asked for double the tribute from all the nests of creatures around us. At that time, it was difficult for me to even feed myself. How could I pay tribute?
âI had no choice but to move my house towards the surface.
âNot long after my last move, I met Blinken.
âIn the beginning, he disguised himself very well. Seeing that I had a big appetite, he kept using large amounts of cattle and sheep blood to tempt me.
âI couldnât resist his temptation. The more I ate, the fatter I became. We became good friends.
âIn about half a year, I went from a healthy and handsome young man to a round meatball.
âAt this time, Blinken finally showed his ugly face. He forced me to breed for him. Of course, I was unwilling, but at that time, I was too fat and completely lost my fighting strength. I was captured by him in a few rounds..â
