The Arrival of Dawn

"Humans, spare me, and I can give you endless treasure! I can grant you lifespans as long as the elves'!" Bound in a steel wire net, the Adult Green Dragon struggled wildly on the ground, letting out hoarse pleas for mercy.

Born Battle Maniac scratched his head and picked up the battle axe from the ground. "If I kill you, won't everything you own become ours? Plus, we can make money off a Five-Colored Dragon corpse."

The bloodstained battle axe scraped across the ground with a piercing metallic screech that made everyone's hair stand on end.

The Green Dragon cried out furiously, "We are Tiamat's descendants! The great Mother of Evil Dragons will never forgive you! Every Five-Colored Dragon will see you as an enemy and hunt you to death!"

Before the Green Dragon's astonished, terrified eyes, Born Battle Maniac's body grew ever taller and broader, swelling to five or six meters in an instant.

Lava-like scales emerged over his body, his muscles bulged grotesquely, broad bat wings spread from his back, and dangerously fierce fire surged in his eyes.

"Th-this is... a Pit Fiend? How is that possible? Those stingy devils actually gave someone something of this level—"

"Five-Colored Dragons?"

Born Battle Maniac raised his battle axe over his head, a savage grin spreading across his face. "That's exactly what I want! Let them come for me! Come kill me!"

"Let's see who the prey really is!"

Grinding its teeth, the Green Dragon finally tore through the wire net and lunged at the berserker nearby.

Whoosh—

With an explosive howl of rupturing air, Born Battle Maniac swung his axe. The Green Dragon's enormous head was cleaved brutally in half, the blow splitting down from its center until the axe finally stopped at its neck.

Blood, brains, and bone fragments
