Chapter 221 Conquest

Chapter 221 Conquest

"Boom!" The massive object plummeted from the sky, crashing onto the beach without any cushioning.

The flimsy gauze offered little protection, and Carlos emitted a painful wail.

The forceful impact triggered the wound on his back, causing the blood to flow more freely.

He attempted to struggle and flee, but his limbs failed to support him.

"Whoosh!" A figure landed nearby—it was Luo Ning.

As Carlos hit the ground, Luo Ning forcefully kicked the dragon's back to distance himself, simultaneously using wind tentacles to suspend himself in the air.

With only a dozen meters remaining, he adjusted his posture and landed gracefully on the beach.

"Huh~"

Exhaling deeply, Luo Ning felt an unexpected peace as he touched down.

He approached the dragon slowly, which sensed his presence and issued a low roar, a warning for Luo Ning not to come closer.

Yet, the dragon was merely bluffing, devoid of the strength to unleash a fiery breath.

Gazing at the immense creature, with a six-meter-long body and a three-meter-long tail, Luo Ning felt a significant pressure despite the dragon's immobility. Now, the advantage was his.

"You were defeated by me," Luo Ning declared, lifting his head and speaking boldly. "In the World of Warcraft, strength commands respect. Since you've been vanquished, you must submit!"

Carlos, whether from anger or weakness, exhaled sharply, his nostrils releasing a fishy odor.

The dragon's pride was evident; it shut its eyes, ignoring Luo Ning's proclamation.

"It seems you feel no pain!" Luo Ning remarked coldly, gripping his Liuyan Sword. A fiery arc swept towards the dragon.

"Roar!"

The fifth-level fighting skill clearly inflicted pain.

Carlos roared and made a futile attempt to rise.

"Still hoping to fly?" Luo Ning scoffed, leaping onto the dragon's back.

"Get down!" He clenched his fist, channeling his fighting spirit, and slammed it down onto the dragon's back.

The Silver Knight's full strength was devastating.

With a resounding crash, the dragon that had struggled to stand collapsed once more.

"Unless you yield, I will continue!" Luo Ning declared, delivering one punch after another. Carlos responded with low roars, eventually dwindling to a feeble whimper.

His eyelids grew heavy, his once cold blue eyes now revealing evident fatigue.

Luo Ning dismounted and faced the dragon head-on. "Are you convinced now?"

A flash of resentment crossed Carlos' eyes, saddened by the transition from Natalia's control to another captor.

Why was his dragon life so fraught with suffering?

Tears welled in his eyes, slowly trickling down.

He nodded slowly, laying his head on the ground in a gesture of submission.

Can dragons cry?

Witnessing this, Luo Ning felt a twinge of remorse. Was his approach too harsh?

Yet, dominance was necessary to ensure submission.

"Let's formalize this with a master-servant contract," Luo Ning suggested, retrieving a scroll from his space ring.

He had envisioned using this scroll on a flying creature like an eagle or griffin, not anticipating a dragon as the end recipient.

As Carlos eyed the scroll, a look of defiance flickered in his gaze, wary of being controlled yet again.

"Dragons are noble and steadfast," Luo Ning stated firmly. "If you falter due to regret, I will not offer another chance."

The dual approach of threat and incentive swayed Carlos, who contemplated the expansive world beyond.

"Imagine the vastness out there. How could you not explore and live fully as a dragon?" Luo Ning pressed.

Moved by the prospect of freedom and adventure, Carlos emitted a breath of submission, no longer viewing Luo Ning with disdain.

"Come on, follow me, and you won't regret it!" Luo Ning encouraged as he initiated the contract, the intricate patterns on the scroll momentarily overwhelming even his adept magical skills.

Magic surged, binding them with a luminescent array. A symbol of their bond—a small, intricate dragon—appeared over Luo Ning's heart.

Now connected, Luo Ning could sense Carlos' presence more acutely than with his other companions.

As the contract sealed, a dark aura expelled from Carlos, signifying the purge of Natalia's lingering influence.

"What was that?" Luo Ning inquired, startled.

"It was Natalia's residual energy. Over the years, she tortured me, commanding obedience through it," Carlos explained, a deep voice revealing his relief.

"Now, who are Natalia and her subordinates?" Luo Ning pursued, eager to unravel the mysteries surrounding his new ally.

With the contract established, Carlos was poised to reveal much-needed insights.
