Chapter 7 - 6: Reverse Breath Is the Most Lethal
"Hey, don’t clamp down so tight! Open up and let Big Sis have a look."
The Drow attempting to pry open the cloaca by hand was also taken aback, apparently not expecting the typically licentious Red Dragon to actually be shy!?
Even though the subject was merely a Red Hatchling, this discovery made the Elves, who were just there to watch the spectacle, even more thrilled. They couldn’t help but get down and join the fray.
"I’ll hold down the lower limbs."
"Be gentle! Don’t break the jaw scales! They’ll lose value."
Although the anatomical structure of a dragon’s body is also called a cloaca, it’s vastly different from the simple, orifice-like structure of birds or even lizards. Instead, it is composed of several Dragon Scale-like pieces. If one had to describe it, its form more closely resembled the mouthparts of a crab. These components ranged from the densely spiked larger jaw scales and the slightly smoother smaller jaw scales to the sets of jaw legs that aided in reproduction, excretion, and even cleaning the cloaca. Finally, there were the somewhat softer upper and lower glandular openings, respectively responsible for housing the reproductive organs and managing excretion.
Thus, when the Dragon resisted with its full might, it indeed took some effort to achieve their goal without violently damaging the cloacal tissue.
But clearly, this was no challenge for the experienced Drow Elves.
As for where such practical experience came from?
From the Metal Dragons, obviously!
Watching as the Drow gradually advanced, threatening his last defenses, David knew it was time for him to fight with all his might. His original plan was to wait for the Drow to unlock the chains on his mouth so he could eat. Then, he intended to use his Authority of Rage to buy time and store energy for his breath. However, it now seemed he had to find another way.
