Grimm's suspicions were quickly answered.
Wind Dragon Chax was not an unyielding man. Mary had only threatened to suck a little of its blood, and it had already spilled all its secrets to her.
A rank 3 female fire dragon … An organized army of dragonborn …
Hearing this news, Grimm felt a headache coming on, frowning at his bad luck once more.
A rank 2 dragon was considered a small fry in Lance, and no dragon would care if one or two of them died. However, a rank 3 dragon was a completely different story!
To put it bluntly, a rank 2 dragon was like the mayor of a remote village in Lance. If it died, it would not cause too much of a commotion. However, a rank 3 dragon was like the lord of a city. This kind of fellow usually had a wide circle of friends, and their dragon bloodlines were complicated.
A single mistake could attract the attention of a rank 4 dragon.
With the strength of Gaz Ruvi's metal fortress, it would be difficult for him to go against a rank 4 dragon. To be honest, they were just stowaways, and it would be best if they did not attract the attention of a large number of dragons.
By the time they settled down here for a year or so, the resources in the metal fortress would be fully utilized, and new types of strengthened magic equipment would flow out of the assembly line. That would be the golden age for the Crimson Family to develop Lance on a large scale.
They could attack, and with a large number of magic equipment as cannon fodder, it would not be a problem to wipe out the natives here.
They could retreat, and if things went south, no matter how many cannon fodder they lost, as long as the Magi could retreat to the metal fortress in time, the Crimson Family would not have to worry about their roots being destroyed.
At that time, as the patriarch of the Crimson Family, Grimm would only have to worry about the profits his family could make in Lance, and he would not have to worry about being chased out by the dragons.
However, just as the three of them surrounded the Wind Dragon and discussed their next move, a low and hoarse female voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Ugh … Although it's a little sudden, I still want to ask … Can the few of you let me have this wind dragon?"
The newcomer's voice wasn't loud, but it struck Grim and the other two like a bolt of lightning, causing them to break out in cold sweat.
Grimm slid backwards and tapped the air with his wand. Six flaming shields instantly appeared out of thin air and quickly revolved around his body. Dragonman Zachary was indeed the most loyal servant in the world. He roared in a low voice and brandished his lightning spear, standing in front of Grim.
Mary let out a soft shout, and the blood mist around her surged, leaving behind a hazy and illusory blood-colored doppelganger in an instant. Her real body was nowhere to be seen.
Choosing to ambush Chax in the Wind Dragon's lair was something Grimm had planned after obtaining accurate information. Before the operation, Dragonman Zacha had already used his identity to investigate the surrounding situation. He only started the operation after confirming that there were no disturbances.
Little did they know that as soon as the operation ended, just as they were getting carried away, the entrance to the dragon lair behind them was blocked.
After quickly setting up his personal defense, Grimm began to size up the mysterious man who had suddenly appeared.
The newcomer was a woman.
Her face was covered with a black cloth, and her facial features could not be seen. However, based on her exposed eyebrows and skin tone, it was obvious that she was a human, and a powerful female assassin at that.
He had to admit that her figure was not bad.
She was wearing a black, tight-fitting leather shirt and pants that tightly wrapped around her exquisite and well-proportioned body. From afar, she was indeed pleasing to the eye. However, the weapons she wore did not match her figure. She carried a huge three-edged scythe on her back, and there were two mysterious scimitars at her waist.
She also wore a pair of black claw gloves on her hands, and her ten fingers shone with a dark luster. When the light breeze blew past the cave and through the gaps between the claws, Grimm could even faintly hear the mournful hiss of the dragon before its death.
A human female assassin?
Grimm could not help but gasp in surprise.
The other party was obviously not a native of Lance, so why did she suddenly block them here?
With the help of the A.I. Chip, Grimm's gaze roamed over the other party's body.
This was not because Grimm was lecherous, but because there were too many things about her that he could not understand.
A dragon tooth necklace, a dragon bone ring, a dragon eye pendant, a dragon horn dagger … With the A.I. Chip's penetrative scan, Grimm had sufficient reason to suspect that the material of the other party's clothes was dragon skin. The scythe on her back and the two short blades at her waist, as well as the finger gloves on her hands, all had traces of the dragon soul's curse.
If these were all made from 'Dragon Plate' materials, then the person in front of him was extremely powerful!
According to the A.I. Chip's feedback, Grimm had originally set the strength of the newcomer to be at rank 2. However, his observations were all true. To be able to wear a full set of 'Dragon Brand' equipment in Lance, where giant dragons roamed freely, apart from being courageous and fearless of death, one would need to have formidable strength.
After a moment's hesitation, Grimm inwardly adjusted the strength of this mysterious person to rank 3 (to be observed).
Zachary and Mary, who had originally been on guard, felt their hair stand on end when they learned that the newcomer could be a rank 3 powerhouse.
Damn, as expected of the Dragon Plane that was many times more powerful than the goblins. Any random person they bumped into could be a rank 3 powerhouse.
Grimm and the other two could not help but feel nervous.
As if sensing their nervousness, the woman dressed as an assassin took a step forward and said softly, "Don't be nervous, we're not enemies!"
The three of them took a step back in unison.
Grimm hesitated for a moment, and could not help but ask softly, "May I know who you are? Why are you here? "
"I'm obviously here for the fellow behind you …" The mysterious woman smiled coldly, her gaze landing on the wind dragon Chax who was crawling on the ground, unable to move.
The wind dragon Chax obviously recognised this mysterious woman as well. The moment it saw her, it immediately roared crazily.
"Take me away … Hurry up and take me away … Wizard … Wizard … Didn't you want to capture me and make me your slave? Take me away … Now … Don't hand me over to this woman … I … I can give you all the riches here … "
A rank 2 adult wind dragon was actually scared witless by a 'weak' human woman. It looked as if it would immediately offer itself to Grimm if he took it away.
This caused Grimm's heart to skip a beat, and he could not help but ponder over the mysteries behind it.
"Hmph, aren't you fast? Just because you're a wind dragon, you managed to slip away from me twice, and even brought the Blue Sky Wings to encircle me. Hmph … Once you're in my hands, I'll treat you well … "The female assassin obviously had a grudge against this wind dragon. She looked at Chax with a sinister smile, causing the latter to tremble uncontrollably.
No … This female assassin did not seem to be a rank 3.
If she really had the strength of a Grade 3 expert, she could just stand out and demand Grim and the others to hand over the Wind Dragon. Most likely, Grim wouldn't even dare to fart before obeying.
If she was only a rank 2, Chax would not have been so afraid of her. After all, Grimm and the others had worked together to take down the Wind Dragon while it was still recovering from its old and new injuries. They had trapped it in its nest and defeated it. A mere rank 2 female assassin should not have been able to make Chax collapse so easily!
Thinking of the numerous dragon grade equipment on her body, as well as the strong dragon soul curse on her, the A.I. Chip immediately used the shortest amount of time to find an extremely rare Profession in its database.
"Dragon Devourer!" Grimm could not help but blurt out.
"Eh …" The female assassin raised her head and sized Grimm up in surprise, "As expected of someone from the Magus World, to be able to find out my origins so quickly. That's right, I am indeed a Dragon Devourer, rank 2! "
Grimm nodded silently, finally understanding why the wind dragon was afraid of her.
Mary, who was hidden at the side, could not help but ask a series of questions. It was obvious that she, who was usually focused on improving her combat skills, was unfamiliar with the term Dragon Devourer.
Grimm had no choice but to use a simple mental transmission to pass on the information he had obtained and understood to Mary and Zachary.
Dragon Devourers were not members of the Dragon Race, but a unique race of Drakes.
It was hard to determine which Dragon Race their bloodline originated from, but they were definitely a huge mistake that the Dragon Race wanted to correct.
Although they had the blood of Dragons flowing in their veins, they did not have the slightest affinity with the Dragon Race.
They did not have shocking intelligence, and before their bloodline awakened, they were exactly the same as a normal human. They did not know the mysterious Draconic Magic, but they were the nightmares of the Dragon Race.
Once they awakened their Dragon Devourer bloodline, they would immediately have an affinity with the elements that the Faerie Dragons could not hope to match. They would also have the terrifying physique and strength of the Dragons. They could hunt down Dragons of a higher level than themselves without fear, and then absorb the elemental energy in their bodies to make up for the flaws in their bloodline.
They were a group of Dragon Devourers!
Others might kill Dragons for wealth, fame, glory, or resources, but the Dragon Devourers killed Dragons to devour their bloodline. The growth of their strength depended entirely on devouring Dragons, so they became a thorn in the side of all Dragons.
Any Dragon that heard the name of a Dragon Devourer would immediately summon all their Dragon companions, and with the power of the group, they swore to hunt down the Dragon Devourer.
That was why the Dragon Devourers were almost wiped out by the Dragons, and they could only hide here and there.
