Chapter 535: Volume 13: Sea Rain and Heavenly Wind - 5: Dragon Breath Magic
"Oh, then why is the Ice Dragon so afraid of those archers’ arrows?" Komer was somewhat puzzled, as his knowledge in this area was far from matching Mr. Rebry’s.
"Well, I suspect those archers might have soaked their arrows in Dragon Saliva Fragrance, which can render a dragon unconscious. Did you smell it? There seems to be a faint scent in the air; that’s the odor of Dragon Saliva Fragrance. Moreover, it’s very possible that the Great Swamp Area is the habitat of the Turtle Dragons, and it wouldn’t be difficult for the Jellyfish People to obtain reed grass nurtured by Turtle Dragon saliva. This Dragon Saliva Fragrance is lethal to the Dragon Clan. As soon as it contacts their blood, they will fall unconscious for a period of time. No dragon is immune to it. I think this is the main reason why the Ice Dragon fears the arrows."
Mages have a keen sense of smell that is far more sensitive than that of ordinary people. Although Komer also detected the fragrant scent wafting through the air, he didn’t know it was Dragon Saliva Fragrance. However, Mr. Rebry seemed quite knowledgeable on the subject, and Komer even suspected that he might have once used such a substance when dealing with dragons.
"Oh, that being said, dragons have quite a few weaknesses, huh?" Komer sighed with a touch of realization.
"Hehe, if the Lord believes that, then it’s a huge mistake," Mr. Rebry spoke with experience, "This Ice Dragon is easily hit by arrows because it has not fully grown yet. For a mature dragon, these kind of arrows would be completely useless; robust Dragon Skin and Dragon Scales cannot be pierced by common weapons, unless you have special sharp ones. Furthermore, once a dragon is affected by Dragon Saliva Fragrance, it becomes more agitated and its attack power increases significantly in a short period of time. Whether the enemy can withstand it is something they need to consider carefully. Otherwise, the dragon could easily massacre them and then hide in a secret and safe place to sleep through this period of unconsciousness, leaving the enemy to pay a heavy price."
Mr. Rebry’s words reflected his passionate feelings and extensive research on the art of dragon slaying, "If dragons were so easily subdued, then there wouldn’t be such wise creatures like them in this world that were in no way inferior to humans. If it weren’t for their extremely low fertility rate, whether it be humans or Magical Beasts, we might all be ruled by them."
Komer cast a puzzled look at the Mage, who seemed lost in certain memories. The Mage appeared to have had a profound experience with this subject, but respecting his privacy, Komer wouldn’t casually inquire about matters his companion might not wish to discuss.
"Mr. Rebry, even among the Jellyfish People there are extremely skilled masters. Those two sword qis are not something an ordinary person could achieve. The Ice Dragon also suffered a great loss; it’s possible they have even more formidable tricks up their sleeve."
