Chapter 177: Chapter 177
The lizard-head humanoid creature raised its head, “Hahahahaha”, it laughed with extreme joy, “This is it. This is what I signed for. I threw away my life, my friends, my family for this.” After the lizard-head humanoid creature said that, its whole, scaly body turned red, resembling its head. Long watched all of this with interest as a small smile crept up from his lips. “Sorry to keep you waiting”, the lizard-head humanoid creature said after finishing its transformation, “I have to thank you. Because of you, the seed of power given to me by the master so long ago finally awakened.” Then, the lizard-head humanoid creature disappeared from its spot before reappearing instantly in front of Long.
“To make it up to you, I will make you suffer before I kill you”, it said as a large, reptile tail spurted from its tailbone before hitting Long with it. Long managed to put up his guard in time, preventing the large reptile tail from hitting his vital spot. Long crashed through the wall, making the lizard-head humanoid creature laugh with pleasure, “Hahahaha. How weak”, it scorned with its hoarse voice, “Now you see the true power of I, the power that the master gave to me.” Long managed to step out from the rubble, watching the lizard-head humanoid creature finish its sentence, “The power of a red dragon!”
“What!?” Long furrowed his eyebrows. The lizard-head humanoid creature’s words managed to trigger something inside of Long. “Hahahaha”, the lizard-head humanoid creature continued its maniacal laughter, “Are you afraid now, human? You seemed strong before, but you look like a weak ant to my eyes now. With a single step from me, you will die. Fear the power of a red dragon, weakling”, it boasted with its head held high. “Huhuhuhu”, Long held his stomach, “Hahahahaha!” The lizard-head humanoid creature squinted its eyes, “Are you finally going crazy, human? Don’t worry, soon I will end your life. Before that, you must suffer from the same humiliation you gave me before.”
“Hahahaha!” Long continued to laugh before staring at the lizard-head humanoid creature right in its eyes. “You think that is the power of a red dragon? Hahahaha”, Long threw his red staff to the side. Then, Long’s expression contorted into anger, “You think that is the power of a red dragon? You’re delusional, trash.” The lizard-head humanoid creature scoffed, “Hah, a rambling of a dead human would not affect me.” Long looked at the lizard-head humanoid creature with disgust, “A trash like you are not worthy of calling yourself a dragon.”The lizard-head humanoid creature finally could not hold its anger, “I’ll kill you where you stand. Die!”
Long watched with ridicule as the lizard-head humanoid flapped its wings, charging straight, right at Long. The lizard-head humanoid creature clenched its scaly fist, “Die!” it sent a punch straight at Long’s head. With a bang, the lizard-head humanoid creature’s fist collided with Long. However, what the lizard-head humanoid creature expected did not happen. “What the—” the lizard-head humanoid creature exclaimed when it saw a protective red membrane made of mana stop its fist. As the smoke cleared, the lizard-head humanoid creature could finally see Long in his entirety.
“Let me make something clear to you, trash” Long swiped the lizard-head humanoid creature’s arm, flinging it around before throwing the lizard-head humanoid creature away. The red protective membrane spun around Long, creating a shape similar to that of a dragon, “You stand before the descendant of the red dragon tribe. Kneel right now, and I’ll make your death painless.” After saying that, Long let out a more terrifying roar than the one that the lizard-head humanoid creature did from earlier. Long’s roar contained his killing intent, power and mana, nearly breaking the whole room apart.
The immense pressure emitted by Long caused the lizard-head humanoid creature body’s to shiver uncontrollably, “W-who, no, what are you?” Long stared at the lizard-head humanoid creature’s eyes, “I will say it one more time. You stand in the presence of the descendant of a red dragon, kneel and die!” he ignored the lizard-head humanoid creature’s question and continued to threaten it. “It can’t be”, the lizard head humanoid creature shook its head, “I’m the real red dragon. Someone like you must be a fake!” it let out a powerful shout before proceeding to charge at Long.
Long growled, anger visible in his eyes, “How dare you!” he roared as he met the lizard-head humanoid creature head-on. The lizard-head humanoid creature clashed with Long in the centre of the room, shaking the space around them and creating craters below them. The clash between the lizard-head humanoid creature and Long looked even at first glance; however, the lizard-head humanoid creature was losing out as time went by. Then, eventually, Long grabbed the lizard-head humanoid creature by its leg before throwing it away into a nearby wall.
The red protective membrane around Long morphed once again. It now formed a pair of red, energy wings on Long’s back, making the pressure emitted from Long even more suffocating for the lizard-head humanoid creature. Long slowly walked towards the downed lizard-head humanoid creature step by step, and with each step Long did, the ground quaked louder and louder. “S-shit”, the lizard-head humanoid creature cursed silently, “I refuse to accept this, I refuse to accept this!” it rose from the ground, flapping its massive red wings before flying right at the approaching Long.
“Imbecile”, Long snorted; the protective red membrane around his arm formed into a dragon’s claw. Long used the dragon’s claw to easily block the lizard-head humanoid creature’s charge, “Failure should know their place”, he said before once again flinging the humanoid creature around and throwing it to a nearby wall. This time, the lizard-head humanoid creature used its massive red wings to stabilize itself in the air, “Y-you! How dare you!” the lizard-head humanoid creature spread its wings, “Don’t you dare play with me!” A massive amount of energy surrounded the lizard-head humanoid creature.
“Die!” then, the lizard-head humanoid creature opened its mouth. Energy gathered inside of the lizard-head humanoid creature’s mouth before it was launched towards Long as a beam. “A failure like you imitated a noble move like Dragon’s Breath, insulting!” Long exclaimed before letting out a powerful roar. Long’s powerful, draconic roar fizzled out the lizard-head humanoid creature’s beam. The lizard-head humanoid creature flinched back as its whole body trembled, “I-it can’t be, this simply cannot be. There is no way that the power bestowed upon me by the master be this weak. You should lose to my power.”
Long felt even more insulted when he heard the lizard-head humanoid creature’s words. “Listen up very closely, failure”, Long instantly appeared right in front of the lizard-head humanoid creature, “You are weak. The power bestowed upon you is weak, and you are always a failure.” Then, Long crouched down, grabbing the lizard-head humanoid creature’s horn, “And you know what? Since you repeatedly insulted me, a noble descendant of a red dragon, You will not get an easy death!”

“Now, where is that idiot gone to?” Eru ran in the endless dark corridor, searching for Long, sensing for his presence. Right after Eru said that, he heard a loud roar coming from nearby, “Ah, that’s where that idiot was”, Eru muttered before he rushed towards the direction of the roar. Eru found himself right in front of a door, “So that idiot is in here, huh?” Right when Eru was about to open the door, the ground around him quaked, and he could hear a loud noise beyond the door. “Tch, that idiot”, Eru scratched the back of his head, “What if he destroys this building?” Eru mumbled before hurriedly opening the door.
After opening the door, Eru walked inside only to see a massive oval room with debris everywhere. The oval room was filled with rubble, and there were two ‘people’ standing right at the centre of it. One was the dragonized Long, and the other was the lizard-head humanoid creature. “A draconian?” Eru exclaimed when looking at the lizard-head humanoid creature that was in the clutch of Long’s dragonized arm. Long did not notice Eru’s presence as he slammed the lizard-head humanoid creature back to the ground before kicking it away, creating another rubble in the room.
Long was about to approach the lizard-head humanoid creature when Eru suddenly called out his name, “That’s enough, Long!” Eru shouted. Long turned his head, “Oh, brother Eru”, he spoke with a hoarse voice, “Look what I found” Long extended the protective red membrane on his arm, grabbing the lizard-head humanoid creature by its head. “I found a failure that called itself a dragon. What an insult”, Long scoffed. Eru shook his head, “Just end its life already. If you had continued on, you would’ve destroyed the bunker.” Long furrowed his eyebrows, he struggled internally before nodding, “You are right, brother Eru.”
Then, Long thrust his arm into the lizard-head humanoid creature’s abdomen, “You’re lucky that brother Eru is here. Otherwise, I will make sure you know pain worse than death.” The lizard-head humanoid creature’s body twitched, “Y-you, I’ll curse you”, it muttered before finally succumbing to its death. Long deactivated his transformation, reaching towards his red staff, he looked at Eru, “What should we do next, brother Eru?”
