Chapter 411 - 324: Galos the Flying Cat (Part 2)
Below is the translated text from the provided Chinese novel excerpt into English:
An adult Blue Dragon over three hundred years old typically has a life level of around 17.
Considering that the individual is not merely a lone figure but controls a vast Blue Dragon Race, possessing endless resources and accumulation as the Master of the Dragon Clans, elevating their life level to 18 is a reasonable estimation.
Galos is naturally cautious, habitually overestimating his opponents’ strength.
With this judgment, the Master of the Dragon Clans’ life level is at most 19, unlikely to reach 20. Assuming the opponent is exceptionally gifted and possesses great potential, there is a slim chance of reaching level 20, but no chance for further advancement; otherwise, the Dominican Dragon Group would not be obscure, would not fear the Red Dragon Gorsas, nor refuse previous collaborations with Iron Dragon Lady.
Of course, regardless, an adult Blue Dragon’s level will not be low.
Galos would not rashly provoke such a high-level Dragon Race.
Yet he has clear awareness and confidence regarding his current level of strength, not fearing as a result.
With age and rapidly increasing personal strength, the Galos who once felt uneasy due to some potential risks and inclined to eliminate threats early, has now become increasingly composed and restrained, no longer controlled by fear.
But even so.
His enemies had best silently pray not to truly provoke actions that threaten or unsettle him.
Otherwise, once his bottom line is touched, the consequences will be extremely severe.
For instance, the former Albert Family.
During Galos’ Sleep Stage, this renowned Earl Family in the Raymond Duchy quietly disintegrated, no longer existing.
Led by Evil Wolf General Luo De, those core private soldiers, aware of their true lineage, first suppressed their anger, feigned calm, and then used assassinations, puppet support, internal division, and other means to completely dismantle the Albert Family’s ruling foundation from the inside, causing its final fragmentation.
All of this stemmed from the Albert Family making Galos somewhat uneasy.
Returning to the matter at hand.
"The Dominican Dragon Group is still unaware of this matter; it’s not too late to consider handling it after potential conflicts become apparent. But regardless, my dear Galos, as an ally, as blood kin, I will steadfastly stand by your side."
Letitia raised her great dragon head and solemnly spoke.
As time passed, the sky outside the Dragon’s Nest gradually brightened. The morning light tried to pierce the mist over the wilderness.
After a night of intense discussions with Letitia, the two had preliminarily settled the details of alliance cooperation and a preliminary strategy to jointly address the Red Dragon Gorsas.
Soon after.
Iron Dragon Solrog would attempt to re-establish blood kin connections, incorporating Iron Dragon Lady Letitia into the spiritual network among Ignas blood kin.
Given Solrog’s current mastery of spiritual energy, he could already connect indirectly through a generation of bloodline.
Theoretically, Solrog might even try to contact the Red Dragon Gorsas through bloodline sensing, but the chaotic and frenzied thinking of that adult Red Dragon would likely violent disrupt any attempt to connect his mind, not granting the chance for connection establishment.
With brief farewells, the Red Iron Dragon unfurled its wings and, under the increasingly bright sky, transformed into a meteor, flew towards his direct territory, Ximu Territory, in the Sel Wilderness.
A period later.
The vibrant and increasingly prosperous outline of Ximu Territory appeared in Galos’ Dragon Eyes vision.
However, arriving directly in a Giant Dragon form would be too conspicuous and ostentatious.
Ximu Territory, now rapidly developed, is no longer the obscure wilderness outpost it once was.
It is under tight scrutiny from stealthy interested forces.
Galos does not wish to prematurely expose his whereabouts and state completely, as this may provide a surprise advantage in critical future moments.
Thus.
At a distance from Ximu Territory’s outer sentinels in a dense forestland above.
With a tiny flash of Transformation Technique light.
A large-bodied, enormous black giant cat silently appeared, soon landing on a rooftop on the border of Ximu Territory.
Its entire body pulsed with robust muscles, clearly visible through slick black fur akin to cable-like bands of muscles smoothly sliding and expanding across its limbs!
It leaped agilely and swiftly across the sequence of rooftops, soon reaching the center of Ximu Territory.
It was Galos, who had used the Transformation Technique.
He chose a rooftop edge with a good view, sitting relaxed, gazing down at the streets of Ximu Territory, gradually waking and bustling.
Suddenly, a hiss sound came from beside him, Galos slightly turned his head, glancing towards the sound.
A spotted tabby cat glaring wide-eyed, warily staring at this uninvited guest.
The colorful cat’s back arched high, throat producing a hiss of threat, twisting its head and baring its teeth, apparently taking this oversized black cat as an intruder vying for its territory.
After a brief silence.
This extremely large black cat mimicked the tabby by slightly baring its teeth, issuing a low, incongruent hiss from its throat.
Its muscles tensed extravagantly with its arched back, overall posture imposing like a miniature ferocious lion-tiger, exuding an invisible pressure.
The posturing tabby instantly intimidated by this imposing aura, its fur bristled upright, abandoning territorial dignity, emitted a short frightened cry, tail between legs, jumped down the rooftop and fled away.
After driving away the tabby trying to claim territory.
Galos contentedly withdrew his gaze, continuing his perch, surveying his territory.
At this moment.
Beside him, the air rippled finely with spatial fluctuations.
Instantly, a tall figure appeared from thin air, agilely crouching on the rooftop, right beside the black cat, as though it had always been there.
Below, people bustled by but seemed oblivious to the peculiar man and cat pair.
"Good day, noble Master of Molten Iron."
The figure slightly bowed in salute, lowered voice speaking.
Galos turned his muscled cat head, glancing at the figure beside him.
His eyes beheld the former Flower Knight, now managing Ximu Territory as Flower Lord under him.
Shire Haines.
Being a capable professional, despite over a decade having passed, he still appeared youthful, with little noticeable change in appearance, only a finely trimmed short beard gracing his chin and cheek edges, lending maturity and a touch of weariness to his handsome face.
Galos’ eyes flickered, employing Investigation Technique.
But to him, the Flower Lord appeared surrounded by an invisible barrier, blocking his probing gaze.
This indicated Shire’s life level exceeded his; life-level Investigation Technique could only probe same-level or lower-life-level targets.
Feeling himself being scrutinized.
Shire blinked, releasing his innate defense, exposing his life aura to the Investigation Technique.
[Life Level: 19]
Galos saw the Flower Lord’s current level, unsurprisingly high.
"Shire, you’ve progressed greatly, your life level is approaching Legendary."
Galos leisurely spoke, "I’ll give you an opportunity to challenge me. If you win, our previous contract will be voided, how about it?"
As soon as these words fell.
The Flower Lord shook his head.
He smiled wryly, "Life level is only a reference. I know well I’m not your match, nor will I foolishly hope to succeed in a challenge."
"If we truly battled."
"I’d expect the process would again be sneaking, escaping for a while, then you’d seize the opportunity and directly capture me."
Galos chuckled, "You are too modest. Without a true challenge, how would you know the result?"
Shire remained unmoved, responding quietly, "I am merely stating facts."
Galos ceased the topic, having Shire report on Ximu Territory’s condition, notably whether any anomalous events warranted attention.
