Chapter 331 - 326: Underwater World
Many dragons possess amphibious abilities, but sadly, Red Dragons do not—they cannot breathe underwater.
Although underwater breathing can be achieved using magic items or potions, the body structure of a Red Dragon is inherently unsuitable for swimming. For this reason, Leon opted for the 72 Transformations.
In such a case, a colossal Kraken would be far too conspicuous, while the Dragon Turtle, though strong, lacks appeal. The Green Dragon, though amphibious, shares a similar body structure to the Red Dragon. All things considered, the Bronze Dragon has everything one might need.
Leon transformed into a young Bronze Dragon and left the Volcanic Island with Fiora. As soon as they flew off the island, diving into depths deep enough to engulf a dragon, they plunged into the sea. Sunlight filtered through the crystalline water, refracting vibrant, colorful rays.
Compared to purely terrestrial dragons that cannot be amphibious, or even other amphibious dragons alike, the Bronze Dragon is quite extraordinary. Its scales are smooth and seamless, and its limbs are webbed—almost too perfectly adapted for swimming.
For Leon and Fiora, navigating the sea floor about dozens of meters down was just a matter of casually paddling their limbs and flicking their tails a few times.
The shallow seas, only tens of meters deep, teem with life, hosting the richest and most diverse organisms. Over half of the coral and marine plants thrive in the warm, sunlit waters here. Vibrant coral reefs are visible everywhere, with schools of fish weaving through.
The Sahuagin could not escape. However, instead of troubling the Sahuagin right away, Leon was more captivated by the underwater scenery. He remarked, "It’s my first time seeing such a beautiful underwater world."
"Weren’t you always diving before?" Fiora said, noting that Leon often went diving, despite being a Red Dragon that supposedly detested the ocean.
