Chapter 182 - 181: Out of the Woods and into the Flower-Lit Clearing
Leon was profoundly impressed by Angomog.
That mighty Red Dragon in his prime had indeed been defeated by Leon, but achieving such a victory had drained Leon’s mana completely. He did not possess the strength to hunt Angomog down afterward.
Leon knew Angomog was formidable, even more so than that Death Knight. After all, the Death Knight was a foot soldier—without a nightmare steed for mobility, a grounded unit could never match the level of a flying adversary.
Even so, successfully breaching the Cloud Giants’ castle wouldn’t be an easy task. According to what Leon had gathered from the Cloud Giants, Angomog was merely considered a troublesome foe at best.
With this thought, Leon nodded thoughtfully.
The last time he had seen Angomog was several years ago. Back then, Leon was still a young dragon. In such a lengthy period, it was entirely possible that Angomog had encountered some fortuitous event that dramatically increased his strength.
...Then again, it wasn’t entirely certain that the Red Dragon in question was Angomog.
After all, the Lost Plateau was vast, easily accommodating dozens or even hundreds of dragons. It surely wasn’t home to Angomog alone; it was entirely plausible that there could be an older Red Dragon, perhaps even an ancient one, residing there.
A challenge level of at least 20 would be expected for an ancient Red Dragon. Even if Leon did encounter such an opponent, while victory wasn’t impossible, it would still be risky. Unless he was absolutely certain of success, it wasn’t worth the gamble. Life was singular and precious—recklessness was not an option.
"What am I even thinking?"
"Why should I care who it is? What does it have to do with me?"
