Chapter 63 - 62: Habit
Halfway through the flight, David, having deactivated his Astute Dragon flight mode, tossed the Red Dragon he had been clutching in his claws.
The Red Dragon, immersed in an inexplicable feeling of adoration, suddenly felt weightlessness wash over her.
Lizrite, still unable to adapt from the ’double paralysis state’, plummeted like an Abyssinian cat thrown out of an airplane. She screamed while frantically clawing at the void, ultimately crashing headfirst into the icy sea. The impact extinguished the flame of adoration that had yet to transform into something else within her, soaking her red dragon form to the core.
Lizrite barely managed to leap from the sea. Like a drenched chicken, she frantically flapped her wings, chasing after David. Just as she was about to angrily question him, she saw David’s face filled with deep contemplation and immediately lost her fire.
After struggling to find words for a good while, the clueless dragon tried her best to soften her tone, mimicking the gentleness of a Silver Dragon, and cautiously asked the ’unhappy’ David,
"Why did you suddenly retreat? You were about to defeat that Green Dragon just now."
"You don’t know shit!"
David angrily retorted at the clueless Red Dragon, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth. "I’ve played almost all my cards, but I’m sure she still has some aces up her sleeve. If we don’t retreat under these circumstances, do you want to wait until next year to drink from my skull?"
As a Red Dragon, he enjoyed seeking thrills, but he still mostly knew the difference between recklessly courting disaster and actively seeking death.
What David left unsaid was that the female dragon had definitely been holding back at the start.
It wasn’t until he relentlessly threw his Authority at her, round after round, that he gradually forced her to reveal her true capabilities.
