"We're here!"
The tunnel soon reached its end. It connected to a cave with stalactites everywhere.
Reynolds did a gorgeous 360-degree turn and landed smoothly on the ground. He chose to kneel on one knee, which looked very cool.
As mentioned before, after Reynolds's 200 years of exploration, it felt so good to do such a silly action in such a place where there was no one around!
Cough ~ cough, saving people is more important!
Reynolds adjusted his state of mind and raised his head to look at the surrounding environment.
The surroundings were very big. Based on the tunnel he had just passed through, Reynolds judged that the back of the mountain was actually a hollow place, like a cave piled up with mud. The place where Reynolds had found abundant fire magic particles should have been caused by the relatively thin layer of soil. He did not know why such a place would appear.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a huge tail swept over from behind Reynolds.
"Barrier!"
Reynolds stretched out his right hand in front of him, and a square yellow magic array appeared in the air. The magic array instantly attracted the surrounding soil and stones, forming a thick wall of earth.
"Bam!"
The tail slammed hard on the wall of earth, splashing up dust all over the sky.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The wall of earth was shattered by the impact, but as a defensive magic, it had already completed its mission.
The tail was surprised to find that the wall of earth was so thick and heavy, and did not continue to attack.
Reynolds took advantage of this time to use wind magic to put a long distance between them.
"Ha ~ ha ~ ha! Interesting! "
A sound came from the direction where the attack had come from.
The voice was very heavy, and the volume could be said to be deafening. When the voice hit the wall, it bounced back and became an echo, making every word seem particularly shocking.
"Who!?"
Reynolds patted the dust off his clothes.
"Interesting, human! You actually have such a reaction, worthy of praise. "
The voice sounded again, and a figure gradually appeared from the dust. It was a few hundred meters in size, and its entire body was covered in fiery-red scales. There were extremely sharp claws at the front of its limbs, and every time it breathed, Hellfire would spurt out from its mouth. Even its teeth were at least twice the size of Reynolds'. At the back of its body was a tail that was covered in sharp thorns, and it looked majestic and mighty.
"Fire dragon?"
Reynolds subconsciously said the first word that came to mind.
"Ha, ha, ha! I didn't expect that someone would still remember my name. "
As the dust settled, Reynolds finally identified the creature that had attacked him.
It was right. This creature was indeed a very rare species — a dragon. Judging from the color of its scales, it should be a fire dragon.
The Fire Dragon's body was enormous. It filled at least a third of the empty space in the back mountain.
Every time it spoke, every time it breathed, and even every centimeter it moved, it would cause a huge commotion.
The fire dragon dragged its body and arrived in front of Reynolds in no time. It stretched its head out and tried its best to put its eyes in front of Reynolds, wanting to see who blocked its attack at a close distance.
In Reynolds's eyes, the fire dragon didn't seem to see any surprise or fear. On the contrary, it actually felt that this white-haired masked man was pleasantly surprised.
"Human, are you not afraid of me?"
"You … are male?"
！！！
The fire dragon jumped in fright when it heard Reynolds's words. It even took a few steps back. It looked quite fun with its clumsy body!
"Human, how do you know my name?"
Looking at the silly look of the fire dragon in front of him, Reynolds was happy. However, he still had to maintain a poker face.
Reynolds took off the mask on his face.
"Who told you that I am a demon?"
"You …"
The fire dragon crawled back to Reynolds and looked at him again.
(This white hair and magic power …!?)
"You are that person from the demon race?"
The fire dragon's tone was very surprised.
"Let me tell you, your brother 'Heaven' has looked for me many times. He told me to come to the human race to look for my missing brother."
"What!!"
The fire dragon said in fright.
"Don't!"
(Humph ~ Humph ~)
The fire dragon sat on the ground and explained to Reynolds the reason for all of this.
A hundred years ago, because the fire dragon was playful, it accidentally burned down a human village. That's right, it was the former Pagoda City. In the end, it didn't expect that its actions would have such a huge impact on the locals. In the end, a person who called himself 'Brave' came and said that he wanted to suppress it. The fire dragon didn't expect that person's strength to be so strong. When it was defeated, the fire dragon used a special magic to create a fake corpse to deceive the person.
The fire dragon found a place to hide and recuperate. The fire attribute magic particles that the fire dragon emitted had an extremely high temperature, which led to the formation of the mountain behind the village.
"I just wanted to play with those people, who knew that they were so weak!"
The fire dragon began to play with its front claws while feeling wronged.
"I only recovered in the past few months. Originally, I wanted to tease the people around here, but I didn't expect that you would come over."
"You! … Don't you know that your actions have caused a lot of trouble for the locals! "
"Eh!? Is that so! "
(Sigh!)
Reynolds heard from the Sky Dragon, which was the fire dragon's elder brother, that the fire dragon's younger brother was playful by nature and didn't know the seriousness of the matter at all.
Looking at it now, what the Sky Dragon said was indeed correct.
Later on, Reynolds asked a few more questions, and didn't expect that the fire dragon would be quite cooperative.
"A 7-8 years old little girl? I remember her! She was quite cute, and I almost couldn't help but want to eat her up! "
Reynolds glared at the fire dragon.
"Eh ~ I was just joking. I still remember that little girl quite well. She was picking herbs on my mountain, and in the end, she was unexpectedly poisoned by a very powerful poison. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I injected some magic power into her body to destroy the poison. "
"And then?"
"And then …!!!"
The fire dragon suddenly thought of something, and very humanely, it used its right hand to hammer its left palm.
"I forgot to take back my magic power!"
(This is the main point!!!)
Reynolds explained the little girl's situation, and the fire dragon also seemed to have realized the seriousness of its actions.
"I am going to take back my magic power right now!"
The fire dragon raised its neck and roared out loudly. Not long after, a round ball of magic power that was emitting red light drilled into the tunnel that Reynolds created just now. After that, the magic power seeped into the scales of the fire dragon and disappeared without a trace.
