Chapter 187 - 186 Unlucky Child
Leon didn’t know that the Cloud Giant and the Silver Dragon, worried about his safety, had already located Angermog’s lair at Sunshine Peak.
Truth be told, even when it comes to villains, it’s always better to find friends and companions among good people. Because only good people will help you when you’re in danger; only good people will worry about your safety. Villains, on the other hand, will simply scatter like beasts and birds at the first sign of trouble. The only question is, why would a good person want to be friends with a villain?
The grudge had already been settled. Leon now had a single goal: to take down Angermog once and for all, so he’d no longer be haunted by a fully mature Red Dragon. He had moved from the desert to a Volcanic Island near Watchtower Port, not far from the Lost Plateau, though not too close either.
Angermog, the mature Red Dragon, was larger than Leon, and naturally, his wings were bigger too. Under normal circumstances, his flying speed was faster than Leon’s. However, Angermog was now covered in wounds, which inevitably slowed him down.
In contrast, Leon was unscathed, though his mana had been heavily depleted. This was akin to a mage exhausting their spell slots but remaining unharmed in the process. With the Big Step Running ability gifted by the Silver Dragon, Leon’s movement speed—particularly his flying speed—was actually faster than Angermog’s.
So, did Leon quickly catch up to Angermog?
No way was it that simple.
Angermog had lived in the Lost Plateau for over a hundred years and knew the mountain ranges like the back of his claw. He could randomly fly loops around any mountain and suddenly veer off from some hidden corner, easily losing Leon in the process—at least until Leon used Gathering Form and Scattering Energy to accelerate and close the gap again.
Not only that, but Angermog would dive into thick clouds, using them to obscure Leon’s vision.
Angermog’s most nauseating trick, however, was flying close to Dwarf Castles, Fire Giant Fortresses, or Frost Giant Villages to provoke them. When Leon pursued Angermog into these areas, he often faced well-prepared attacks.
Even so, Leon had no intention of giving up on Angermog—not even after chasing him across half the Lost Plateau.
