A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Slavery Contract

Needleleaf Valley, Violent Bear Ridge.

The golden dawn illuminated the stones and vegetation, coating them with brilliant colors.

Galos grasped Elf Dragon Vera’s nape with his claw, holding it up like a kitten, and brought it closer to observe, asking: ”You said you come from the Immortal Spirit Wilderness?”

The Elf Dragon drooped its tail and nodded.

Galos smacked his lips, surprised that this little creature actually had some background.

Immortal Spirit Wilderness.

This place is also known as the Fairy Wilderness, a realm inhabited by various elf creatures, and it’s not an obscure small plane.

On the contrary, it’s very famous, with numerous miniature deities residing within.

At this moment.

Information about the world’s and planes’ structure surfaced in Galos’s mind.

To put it simply.

Planes are collections of worlds.

Countless different worlds cluster together like bubbles, forming planes based on similar characteristics.

Galos is now in a world belonging to the Material Plane.

The Material Plane is the foundation for all other planes, and its elements are most balanced, most suitable for different races and creatures to inhabit and develop, while other planes often possess certain characteristics that better suit specific types of creatures.

For example, the notorious Abyss Plane belongs to the domain of demons.

The Immortal Spirit Wilderness is the territory of elf creatures.

”According to its words, it came to the Material Realm out of curiosity and accidentally got caught by me due to its curiosity.”

”An Elf Dragon’s curiosity is like an Evil Dragon’s arrogance and pride.”

”This natural curiosity brought it step by step to its current state, becoming my prisoner.”

Galos gazed at the Elf Dragon, pondering while reminding himself not to be controlled by desire and emotion, or the Elf Dragon before him would be a cautionary tale.

Samantha approached with the sulfuric scent belonging to a Red Dragon, curiously eyeing Elf Dragon Vera.

”Is that.......an Elf Dragon?!”

”Galos, where did you catch this Elf Dragon?”

The Red Young Dragon stuck out her tongue, licking her chin, eyes glistening with desire.

”It looks delicious. I’ve heard elf creatures taste good; can I have a taste?”

The Dragon Race doesn’t have a habit of eating their kind.

But the Elf Dragon is too weak.

The power-revering Red Dragon tradition does not acknowledge the Elf Dragon’s identity within the Dragon Race, viewing it as akin to Pikachu, Little Goblins, and other elf creatures.

”Vera doesn’t have meat, not tasty, please don’t eat me.”

The Elf Dragon was frightened by Samantha, covering its eyes with its claws, not daring to look at the Red Dragon.

”No.”

Galos denied Samantha’s request.

”It’s my spoils of war, and it’s useful to me, don’t think about it.”

Then.

Galos opened his mouth and spat out the Silver Frost Ring, handing it to Samantha.

”The energy is depleted, please recharge it for me.”

This cold-attributed alchemy tool, Galos cannot recharge it.

Samantha doesn’t have Ice Skills either, but she’s an alchemist who possesses skills to convert magic energy into tool energy and recharge tools.

Taking the Silver Frost Ring.

Samantha glanced at the Elf Dragon again with curiosity and desire, turning back to her Alchemy Workshop, rebuilt on the clearing of Violent Bear Ridge.

”Whew......almost got eaten.”

The Elf Dragon exhaled deeply, gratefully looking at Galos, and whispered:

”Thank, thank you for not letting it eat me.”

Galos’s gaze flickered, discovering the Elf Dragon’s logic seemed abnormal.

It hadn’t considered that it was caught by Galos, which led to this situation; instead, it singled out the incident, thanking Galos for saving it from the jaws of the evil Red Dragon.

”It should be easily deceived.”

Galos pondered, and then a plan emerged in his mind.

With his right claw holding the Elf Dragon, he partially closed his eyes, muttering some strange words the Elf Dragon didn’t understand while extending his left claw, drawing and sketching in the air with a sharp hook-like toe.

Seemingly conducting some mysterious magical ceremony.

Finally, Galos darted his sharp claw, tapping on the Elf Dragon’s forehead.

”Alright, the contract is complete.”

Galos released the Elf Dragon, saying.

Not knowing what Galos did, the Elf Dragon didn’t flee immediately after being released. Its heart was tense yet curious, blinking, asking: ”Contract? Wha.....what contract?”

Galos: ”Of course, a Slavery Contract.”

The Elf Dragon showed a look of suspicion.

It didn’t feel any obvious magical fluctuations.

Moreover, it doubted Galos could handle such skills like a Slavery Contract.

However.

Galos’s serious facade didn’t seem to be deceiving the Dragon.

Galos smiled and said: ”Are you feeling hot all over, with a racing heartbeat now?”

The Elf Dragon turned pale with shock, anxiously spinning in place, its heartbeat sped up.

”How, how do you know?!”

Galos solemnly said: ”Because that’s the reaction from the contract’s establishment, your life and death now hang on my whim.”

The body heat was due to him subtly emitting heat, raising the air temperature; as for the racing heartbeat, it was purely due to nervous fear.

Contracts and spells concerning slavery often are not of low rank.

Indeed, Galos couldn’t handle it. The magical skills he acquired through the Mage path in his bloodline didn’t include such.

Done for! Enslaved by an Evil Dragon!

The Elf Dragon drooped its head, resigned.

”What do you want with enslaving me?”

Recalling Galos’s fierce tree-chopping stance, the Elf Dragon trembled in fear.

”Don’t be afraid, I have no intention of harming you.”

Galos chuckled: ”On the contrary, my enslavement is also a protection for you. If you behave, I’ll allow you to wander freely in the valley; the Violent Bears will be your companions, won’t harm you, and will play with you.”

After intimidation, then a bribe.

Galos targeted inducement through the Elf Dragon’s nature.

As part of the Dragon Race, he was well aware of the Dragon Race’s weaknesses.

Sure enough, hearing Galos’s words, the dim eyes of the Elf Dragon immediately brightened.

Play!

To an Elf Dragon, that word is akin to a stimulant.

Since arriving at the main Material Plane, Elf Dragon Vera hadn’t had enjoyable playtime.

The creatures here are more vicious and terrifying by the day, don’t like to play with it, every time they spot it, their first reaction is opening their bloody maws ready to consume it.

It can only hide and sneak around, using invisible spells to secretly tease the Violent Bears for self-amusement.

The Violent Bears don’t even realize the existence of the Elf Dragon, indifferent to its teasing.

Such unresponsive play caused the Elf Dragon to become depressed, and its scales dulled by the day.

”Okay, okay.”

It nodded eagerly, then circled around Galos.

”Can you also play with me? Vera loves playing the most.”
