Chapter 250: 15-year-old Inglis, the Dragon God and the Elder King (23)
「I am glad. You were so powerful and mighty, and now I can force you to yield to me! Fufufu」
Inglis clenched her fist tightly, lips curved into a most beautiful smile. This was something completely unthinkable for her in her previous life as King Inglis. This feat was something only she knew, but it was still an achievement. Right now it was clear that, in terms of capability, she had far surpassed King Inglis. In defeating Vufailbane the Dragon God, she had proven so to herself.
She was the only one who knew it, but it was still to be welcomed. Inglis had reached this point while she was only 15 years old. She wasn’t old enough to have her strength decline. She could aim even higher. She was by no means satisfied by this, as she would continue to pursue the art of battle.
Since she had to rely on her newly acquired Dragon Roar this time, she planned to win using only her Ether in the next fight. If Inglis didn’t have the Dragon Roar, the outcome of the match would have been much more uncertain. In that respect, it was good luck for Inglis and bad luck for Vufailbane.
The Dragon God was just as surprised with how Inglis managed to possess Dragon Roar, and there really was only one possible reason. It was because Inglis had eaten Vufailbane’s meat.
In the days as King Inglis, she had heard the legend of Dragon Slayers. According to the legend, a warrior who had slayed a dragon was endowed with said dragon’s supernatural power.
King Inglis had never seen a Dragon Slayer in person, so this legend was no more than a bunch of semi-believed hearsays. Any warrior capable of slaying a dragon would have superhuman strength in the first place, so it would be difficult to tell the difference apart.
But this legend turned out to be true. It was evident from the fact that Inglis’ body was imbued with Vufailbane’s Dragon Roar. While technically she hadn’t finished Vufailbane off, apparently cutting off his flesh and eating it was an act equivalent to Dragon Slaying.
It was, of course, a bit different from how the legend went, but since the origin of such a story was vague anyway, there was no other way to accept it as the way it was.
