Roooar—

The giant dragon suddenly opened its enormous jaws before him, letting out a dragon roar that made his blood boil.

The dragon's roar and the unique aura within its body made System's body tremble uncontrollably.

System merely beat his wings mechanically, maintaining his previous hover in midair. The sudden dragon roar had dulled his mind and robbed him of control over his body.

System saw the frost-covered teeth inside the dragon's mouth, as well as the small tongue in its throat, roughly the same shape as a human's uvula.

Just as System thought the dragon would swallow him whole and turn him into a snack, it slowly closed its mouth.

From the dragon's gaze and expression, System sensed its undisguised mockery. The dragon clearly had not opened its mouth to eat him; it seemed to merely be trying to frighten him and watch his reaction.

The dragon closed its mouth, yet System seemed to hear it speak in an unknown language.

Like the dragon roar it had made in the distance, this language was not loud, yet it appeared in System's mind with perfect clarity. Moreover, System could understand it completely.

"I thought it was something, but it turns out to be a... a..." The frost dragon revealed a puzzled expression. It seemed confused about what exactly System was, yet it could not recall what he was for a long time.

"What were you again?"

The frost dragon's voice was full of confusion, but after only a short while, it lost patience, apparently unwilling to waste time recalling something so insignificant.

"Forget it. Even if I asked you, with your intelligence, you wouldn't understand."

The frost dragon spoke lazily. It opened its mouth as if yawning, then flew away...

The frost dragon, covered all over in blue ice
