A gigantic, grotesque skull head, devoid of flesh and blood, emerged from the dim mist. Two crimson flames of the soul flickered in its empty eye sockets, like two blood moons.

The Dragon Bone gleamed with a silvery metallic sheen, as if it were cast from pure silver.

Having frequently dealt with undead and Bone Beast, Venus knew that the metallic-looking skeletons needed to evolve again and again before their originally fragile bones could become indestructible.

Even low-level Skeleton Soldier that have evolved to this level can fight to the death with martial arts masters from the human world.

Let alone dragons like the Undead Bone Dragon, which are inherently strong.

Even without evolution, its Dragon Bone were strong enough to Trainee Death God's scalp tingle. After evolution, just how strong were the Dragon Bone of this skeletal dragon? It's unimaginable. Venus thinks her Death God Scythe might not even be able to cut through this terrifying Undead Bone Dragon.

The moment the Undead Bone Dragon's head emerged from the dim mist, the terrifying sense of oppression made it slightly difficult for her to breathe.

Lance's Pet Beast, the Two-Headed Hellhound Zhenyong, even dared to adopt an aggressive stance and bare its teeth when facing the Undead Bone Dragon.

It's just a dead skeleton spirit, isn't it?

What's there to be cowardly about? The evil dragon Lance is standing behind it. It has a vicious master. Does it have to fear a mere Undead Bone Dragon? In the human world, when dogs encounter a powerful enemy, they know that with their masters around, they rely on their owners' power.

As Two-Headed Hellhound, and with its master being a vicious dragon, if it didn't rely on the dragon's power, would it be running away with its tail between its legs, urinating and whimpering?

If it really did that, how could it ever show off in front of the young dragon again? It would rather take a slap from the Undead Bone Dragon than tuck its tail between its legs, piss, and whimper as it runs behind Lance, letting the young dragon laugh at it.

With the evil Lance around, it didn't believe that Lance would just stand by and watch it be killed by the Undead Bone Dragon.

Amelia, standing on the tortoise's back, was also shocked by the ferocious appearance of the Hellhound. Was Lance the Lance's Pet Beast so ferocious that it dared to face the Undead Bone Dragon head-on? The pressure emanating from this Undead Bone Dragon didn't seem like that of a sub-dragon, nor did it seem like a flying dragon infinitely close to a Pure-Blooded Dragon. It was more like a Pure-Blooded Dragon Pure-Blooded Dragon had died countless millennia ago and become the Undead Bone Dragon. If the Hero Reg were here, he might be able to lead them to slay the dragon. Right now, the Radiant Sun Squad only had the three of them. Even if Lance the Lance was the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor, he might not be able to kill this Undead Bone Dragon. No, wait.

Eileen, the Lightning Dragon, once said that Lance had once slain two dragons with a single sword strike, so perhaps they could put up a fight against this Undead Bone Dragon.

At least we don't have to flee in a sorry state.

With two ferocious Pet Beast and three members of the Radiant Sun Squad with decent attack power, this lineup was fully qualified to go toe-to-toe with this Undead Bone Dragon.

Amelia's gaze fell on Lance, Lance was still sitting cross-legged on the turtle's head, looking at the ferocious dragon head emerging from the dim mist.

She couldn't see Lance's expression and didn't know what Lance was thinking.

"A two-headed hellhound with impure bloodline and a slight mutation, a turtle larger than a giant tortoise, a somewhat beautiful elf, Trainee Death God has signed Death God Contract with Hell, a human, and Amethyst Dragonling with impure bloodline."

Little Amethyst Dragon, since you have dragon blood flowing in your veins, you may leave this place. If you can't find your way back, I can have my retinue escort you back.

As for you, I will not make things difficult for you; become my followers.

He is a bone dragon who cherishes talent, can sign Death God Contract with the Grim Reaper of Hell, and knows when to advance and retreat and listens to advice, making him qualified to become his servant.

"Human girl, become my servant, I can entrust them to your command."

The hazy, yellowish mist churned, and a silvery-white dragon claw emerged from it, pointing at the Undead Knight riding a skeletal horse and clad in heavy armor.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to become your spouse at the moment."

Venus refused. She was, after all, a member of the Radiant Sun Squad, with the title of "Light Witch," and could not possibly become a familiar of a Undead Bone Dragon.

"I haven't felt what it's like to be rejected in a long time, girl. Give up those unrealistic fantasies in your mind. I said you can't leave, so you can't leave."

If you want to challenge me, you can try, but I can't guarantee that I won't accidentally hurt or kill your teammates during the fight.

It's been too long since I've used my strength, so my control over it might not be as precise as before. What if I use too much force and the little sprite dies? Or what if that human who's too scared to get up dies? I hope you won't be sad then.

Of course, if you are willing to become my servant, I may consider letting that human man and that little elf go.

Choose. Take your teammates and fight me, risking their lives. Or become my servant and let your teammates leave this place safely. The decision is yours.

"."

Damn it, the Undead Bone Dragon is threatening her.

Venus remained silent; the Undead Bone Dragon was not only attacking her mind, but also plotting something openly.

She could indeed choose to fight the Undead Bone Dragon, Amelia and Lance would assist her, but given their combined strength, she wasn't sure if they could defeat the Undead Bone Dragon before her.

They have the capability to fight, but casualties cannot be ruled out.

I don't want to see Amelia or Lance die at the hands of the Undead Bone Dragon because of her.

"Actually, you don't need to worry so much. Even if your teammates are killed by me, I have a way to make them my followers after they die."

The Undead Bone Dragon grinned.

If the goal can be achieved through verbal communication, then there is no need for fighting and killing.

Snap snap snap—

A burst of applause echoed throughout the area.

Lance, who was sitting cross-legged on the turtle's head, clapped.

This is the wisdom that a dragon should possess.

This is the cunning and treachery that a dragon should possess.

Lance beckoned to the dragon cub crouching behind him.

"Little dragon, have you learned anything?"

"???"

The young dragon looked bewildered; what had it learned? Had the Undead Bone Dragon taught it anything?

Hasn't he been threatening Venus all along?

Oh, does the dragon mean she's learned how to threaten people? Does that even need to be learned?

Once she became emperor, did she really need to learn how to issue a single order?

"Using one's superior strength to threaten others?"

"Right."

Lance patted the turtle's head beside him, gesturing for the baby dragon to sit down.

The young dragon obediently sat down beside the evil dragon.

"There are techniques to threatening people. Take this Undead Bone Dragon in front of us, for example. Before threatening Venus, he first showed off his mysterious power and domineering nature, and then he showed off his tolerance and magnanimity."

Next came the psychological attack, using words to undermine Venus's desire to fight him. Seeing Venus's hesitation, he then used the bond between teammates to describe the possible disastrous consequences of fighting him.

Using the death of a teammate to threaten Venus not only makes Venus hesitant to act, but also amplifies Venus guilt and fear.

She was terrified of her teammates dying because of her, and she also felt guilty about it.

The most ruthless move is here: striking at the heart.

He told Venus that after killing her teammates, he still had a way to make them his followers; this was the key to destroying their spirit.

Venus's emotions and thoughts have been completely controlled by the Undead Bone Dragon. Even if she finally develops the will to fight, her fighting spirit may collapse at any moment.

In just a few lines of dialogue, the Undead Bone Dragon displayed the wisdom, cunning, slyness, cruelty, domineering nature, and the magnanimity that a dragon should possess.

Dragon cub, this is the wisdom a normal dragon should possess. If you learn this, you will be able to subdue your enemy without fighting.

The Undead Bone Dragon excelled at using psychological warfare and mind control.

The baby dragon perched on the turtle's head, taking quick notes with a pen. It was like the evil dragon was giving a lesson, and she was taking notes.

It's become a habit.

After hearing the dragon's words, she realized that the few words from the Undead Bone Dragon contained so much information. She had written them down beforehand and would analyze them word by word when she got back, hoping to become a wise emperor in the future.

Seeing that the young dragon was diligently writing down what he had said in his diary, Lance nodded in satisfaction.

His son will surely surpass his father in the future.

It's okay to be slow-witted, as long as you're willing to learn.

Bringing the dragon cub along isn't just about taking her on trips; it's also about broadening her horizons and finding real-world learning materials for her to study anytime, anywhere.

Amelia, who had nocked an arrow, wanted to shoot Lance, but what kind of time was this to be leisurely lecturing the little dragon?

Although she, an elf, listened with great interest, it didn't mean she approved of what the conman Lance did.

Even Venus, the Trainee Death God Venus, stared in astonishment at Lance, who was sitting cross-legged on the turtle's head. He was truly different now.

A thousand years ago, if Lance had encountered this situation, he would have already vanished without a trace.

Even if they don't run, they'll still look like they're facing a formidable enemy.

However, Lance remained calm and composed in the face of the terrifying Undead Bone Dragon, his expression unchanged from beginning to end. He even had the mood to teach the little dragon beside him a lesson.

Let the little dragon learn from the Undead Bone Dragon.

Hmm? Let the little dragon learn from the Undead Bone Dragon?

Is Lance using her as a negative example? Or is he using the Undead Bone Dragon as a positive example? It's not that the Undead Bone Dragon is evil.

How could he let the little dragon learn from an evil Undead Bone Dragon?

What if the little dragon grows up crooked? Er Gouzi's two dog heads showed envy. The evil dragon Lance was really good to the baby dragon, and of course, he was also very good to Er Gouzi, the dog.

The turtle felt its head was a bit heavy; after all, a vicious dragon was sitting on its head.

"I can't think about it too much, or I'll feel like I'll be crushed to death by the evil Lance. "The Undead Bone Dragon tilted its hideous and terrifying skull head in confusion.

I misjudged it.

He wasn't a human who was so frightened he lost the ability to react, but rather a human with some skill.

His family members said that this human was a Beast Tamer.

Such an arrogant and interesting Beast Tamer? We can't let him get away with it. Doesn't he like attending classes?

Capture him to be a servant, and have this human compile his sayings into a book.

Then let this human teach his family members.

Incidentally, it can also improve the cultural level of his family members.

"I originally thought you were a good-for-nothing, but I didn't expect you to be such a talent. I need to find someone to take a look at my eyes when I have some free time. I almost missed out on you because I didn't know how to judge people well."

To be able to ignore my intimidating presence and speak eloquently in my presence, with clear thinking and an analysis of my intentions, is quite impressive.

The identity of Beast Tamer is of no use to me, but I do admire your courage to teach. Stay here, collect my quotes, and become the teacher of my servants.

How about it?"

"To be honest, it's not very good."

Lance got up and stretched. He liked the Undead Bone Dragon in front of him. Such an intelligent Undead Bone Dragon was a bit of a waste to be a wild monster boss.

Come and be his apprentice Intern Death God Trainee Death God. If you can't sign Death God Contract with Venus, then signing Death God Contract with this Undead Bone Dragon in front of you will do.

We'll give Death God Solomon, a surprise then.

"You admire my talent, and I admire your wisdom, Undead Bone Dragon. Tell me your name, and I'd like to find you a job."

Things are getting interesting.

The Undead Bone Dragon grinned.

"Anastacio Poulsen Arda Moreno Ortiz Garcia. You may call me Garcia."

The name of the true dragon is very long, Lance suspects that the Undead Bone Dragon may not have finished reciting his own name yet.

His true dragon name is also very long, so usually when he introduces himself, he will simply have people call him Lance.

"Lance, you can call me Lance. Garcia, it's not too late for us to leave now."

"You can't leave now, stay here."

"Hearing you say that, I'm relieved." Lance stepped forward. "Actually, I'm also deeply attracted by your wisdom. Even if you had asked me to leave just now, I might not have gone. Now, I'm going to show you what it means to be eager to seek out talent."

Amelia, who had been watching Lance intently, nervously swallowed.

The swindler Lance was arrogant a thousand years ago.

It has also become much more domineering.

It seems she doesn't need to say anything more; the liar Lance is about to reveal his identity as the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

"Watch your foot! You're about to fall! Watch your foot! Watch your foot!"

How cool!!! Just as Lance was about to step into the air, a lightsaber flashing with azure lightning appeared beneath his feet.

With each step he took, a deep blue lightning sword would appear beneath his feet.

Walking on a sword?

I was fooled by that Lance.

Okay, she admits, she was also charmed by the conman Lance.

The moment Venus, whose true form was hidden under her hat, saw Lance walking on his sword, her crimson eyes widened instantly, and her mouth involuntarily opened slightly.

She was stunned by Lance's entrance.

Isn't he Beast Tamer? How can he walk on a sword?

Each lightning sword that coalesced beneath his feet contained explosive energy.

It felt like one sword strike would be enough to take down those Heavy Armor Undead Knight.

What exactly has Lance learned in the past thousand years? Why does his swordsmanship seem so terrifying? He dares to face the Undead Bone Dragon head-on, and judging from his appearance, he seems to want to fight the Undead Bone Dragon one-on-one. Garcia, the Undead Bone Dragon, also sensed the intention of the human walking on his sword in front of him.

"Human, do you want to challenge me to a duel?"

"Okay. Tell your retinue to stay still, and I'll also tell my teammates not to get involved in our battle. We'll settle this between the two of us."

"I lost, so I'll become your servant. You lost, so I don't need you to be my servant, nor do I need you to be my mount. All you need is a new job, occasional business trips, and the rest of the time, you can stay wherever you want."

"Interesting." The Undead Bone Dragon grinned, then beckoned to Lance with its claws. "Then let me see your strength, human."

"As you wish."

Lance, who was walking on his sword, snapped his fingers, and the surrounding environment changed drastically in the next moment.

The dim, yellowish canyon is gone, replaced by a night sky dotted with countless stars.

A cool, full moon hangs in the night sky.

The dim yellow earth transformed into lush green fields, with forest paths, fields covered with crops, and flowers and grasses swaying in the night breeze along the ditches.

Tall poplar trees lined both sides of the forest path, and scattered houses dotted the fields in the distance.

You can see the lights through the window.

You can also hear crickets chirping and frogs croaking, and even see pure white dogs running and chasing each other on the dirt road.

Upon seeing this, Er Gouzi shrunk to the size of a normal dog and chased after the pack of dogs.

Seeing this scene, the young dragon, whose nerves were on edge, relaxed. She wanted to lie on the turtle's back, look at the clear night sky, and admire the stars.

Thinking that the evil dragon had chosen to fight the Undead Bone Dragon one-on-one, she walked to the turtle's back, lay down on it, and enjoyed this rare moment of comfort.

Venus, wielding the Death God Scythe's scythe, flew onto the turtle's back and appeared beside Amelia, the environment drastically changed, shocking her.

It's like an illusion, yet it doesn't seem like an illusion.

Very realistic.

The key issue is that she doesn't know whether this world was created by Lance or by the Undead Bone Dragon. She's more inclined to believe it was created by Lance.

Such a peaceful and tranquil environment, full of life, doesn't seem like something a Undead Bone Dragon could create.

"Amelia, you didn't tell me the truth. Why does Lance know kendo?"

"Because he already knew it; before he met us, he was already a legendary swordsman."

"???"

According to Amelia, Lance was already a master swordsman when he joined the Radiant Sun Squad? Is that possible? If he was a master swordsman, wouldn't Leige, who wields a sword, have noticed?

"Have you ever heard of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor?"

"I've heard of him... Could it be...?" Venus's gaze fell on Lance. Could it be that Lance was the legendary Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor?! Damn it!

If that's true, then Lance hid it incredibly well! After spending several years together, none of his teammates noticed.

"Yes, he is the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor."

Venus looked at Amelia. No wonder this guy would gravitate towards Lance when he was in danger a thousand years ago, while they would gravitate towards the Hero Reg.

"You knew this a thousand years ago?"

"What? I only found out that this guy was the legendary Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor the night I contacted you."

Venus nodded; she believed Amelia.

"What's going on with this scenery? It feels like a dream, but it's not quite a dream either."

Amelia was also taking in the scenery before her. She had the same feeling: this world felt real, as if it truly existed in some corner of the world.

Like a dream, yet not quite a dream... Wait a minute!

Could this be the "domain" of the fraudster Lance?!
