Chapter 29: Leader(1)
Nothing fueled growth like real combat.
Hades knew that well—and today, he stood on the battlefield, ready to hunt land-crawling dragons.
His goal was simple: wipe out the beasts and earn a hefty reward from the Academy. Normally, lone fighters weren’t allowed to take on dragons, but Hades had found a way around the rules. And now, here he was—facing off against the creatures he took a strange joy in hunting.

"Even for Hades... isn’t this a bit much?" Carl muttered, standing behind Rinne and the others as they watched the crimson-haired warrior march toward the dragons.
Every drake on the field had already sensed the threat. All eyes were locked on Hades. They knew exactly who the real danger was—and they weren’t wrong.
Taylor let out a low chuckle. "You clearly haven’t seen him hunt before."
Carl and a few others gave him puzzled looks. They’d only seen Hades in controlled matches, never like this.
Taylor added, "He holds back with people... but against dragons? He doesn’t show mercy—"
BOOOOOM
Right on cue, the first blow landed.
