"First, be killed by me, then flayed and boned, until every last bit of usable value is squeezed out."
"Second, submit to me and join my kingdom, Entara."
"What is your answer?"
Roar! —
"The Fire Dragon Queen will not submit to any living being! Give up that thought, despicable human!"
"I am willing to submit."
The two dragons gave completely different answers.
The Fire Dragon looked at the Ice Dragon in astonishment.
It was as if she was saying: Sis, where's your dragon backbone? You're making me look bad!
The Ice Dragon merely glanced at the Fire Dragon and then continued to close her eyes and rest.
She had already figured it out.
Most of the injuries on both of them were inflicted by this man.
This foolish Fire Dragon was still living in a dream, completely unaware.
Even if they didn't submit and fought with real blades and spears, they would still not escape death, and then they would become another Frost Dragon Bone Blood Sword in his hand.
Since that was the case, why hesitate?
Wasn't it better to directly choose the most rational way to submit?
Jack smiled, then threw the Dragon Food, which was supposed to be fed to Sevia, to the Ice Dragon.
"What is this? Why… does it make me feel a sense of longing?"
The Ice Dragon looked at Jack in confusion.
"This is a special item that can only be made through the Creator's methods, and it can help you dragons accelerate your growth."
The Ice Dragon had never heard of such a thing.
But out of basic trust after submitting, and the allure of the food, she extended her barbed tongue and rolled the Dragon Food into her mouth.
"Mmm!"
The Ice Dragon's azure vertical pupils widened, then her dragon mouth chewed rapidly.
A green light rose from her body.
Boom!
The Ice Dragon, over 50 meters long, stood up. Streams of air blew away the charred remains around her, revealing the tender scales that had just grown in.
"What?! Blue one, weren't you also seriously injured? How did you suddenly…"
The Ice Dragon ignored the Fire Dragon.
Instead, she lowered her dragon head to Jack.
"Thank you for your gift, Master."
Jack patted the Ice Dragon's head with satisfaction.
The saying "big is good, good is big" applied here; a Stage 4 Ice Dragon of this size would definitely be impressive to take out, much stronger than his own husky that only knew how to frolic.
The Ice Dragon visibly trembled twice.
There was no other way.
Most of her body was covered in sword wounds, so she truly had a phobia of Jack.
"Not bad. Dragon Food is effective even at your level. It seems it truly is a very buggy item."
"It's a pity that your HP limit doesn't seem to have increased. Could it be that dragons who are not familiars cannot grow quickly, and can only be healed?"
The Ice Dragon didn't understand what Jack was saying.
But she knew how to assess the situation, so she merely squatted obediently to the side, quietly acting as a beautiful air conditioner.
"Then… that, you… human, could you also give me some of what the blue one just ate?"
Seeing her old rival's injuries recover,
the Fire Dragon couldn't lie still anymore and quickly asked.
Jack showed a gentle smile and took out another piece of Dragon Food.
He squatted down, looking into the Fire Dragon's vertical pupils, like a capitalist seducing a married woman in a red dress to fall.
"How about it? You have the answer to that question now, right? Call me Master, let me hear it?"
"Huh? The Fire Dragon Queen would never… Wait! I'll call you! Put down your weapon! Ma-Master!"
The Netherite Greatsword was unsheathed.
The Fire Dragon, scared, dragged her heavily injured body back a few steps and quickly begged for mercy.
"Another tsundere."
Jack muttered, then directly tossed the Dragon Food into the air.
The Fire Dragon immediately jumped up like a dog to catch the food.
"Oh? This taste… it's better than Leviathan meat~"
Jack only understood the meaning of dragon language through emotional perception.
The three words "Leviathan" were added by him; what appeared in the Fire Dragon's mind at that time was the high-grade meat produced by a dead butterfly-shaped Leviathan.
It had to be said that these two creatures truly loved and killed each other.
Butterfly-shaped Leviathans were also quickly tamed using dragon meat.
"Alright, once you can basically move, follow me. After we reach the territory, just register as a resident."
Seeing Jack ascend into the air and fly in a certain direction,
the Ice and Fire Dragons also exchanged glances, snorted at each other in annoyance, and followed behind him, one on each side.
After flying for a short while,
Jack arrived near the Fire Dragon's lair where he had placed the teleportation anchor point.
Traces of battle and a bloody scent still lingered, as if a recently matured young Fire Dragon had been mercilessly slaughtered there by someone.
This impactful scene of dragon slaying made the two giant dragons even more obedient.
"You two."
"Ow?!"
"...How do you manage to make such cute sounds with such mighty bodies?"
Jack pointed to the teleportation anchor point below.
"Later, hold onto my shoulders, and I'll directly teleport you back to my territory."
The Ice and Fire Dragons immediately nodded like pounding garlic.
Jack became a little puzzled.
Are the dragons in this world really close relatives of dogs?
White light flickered.
Jack, accompanied by two colossal beasts, appeared directly in the airspace above Entara Town.
Whoosh! —
The Villagers, still working in the fields, were startled.
The Iron Golems and the militia guarding the village quickly assembled, gazing solemnly at the two enormous beings that obscured the sky.
"No need to panic!"
A majestic voice descended from the heavens.
"It's Creator!"
Sebas, who had rushed over, shouted from the crowd, then looked with fervent admiration at Jack, who stood with his arms crossed in front of the two giant dragons.
This scene was exactly like the magnificent image of the divine being he dreamed of at night.
No! I must add this to the Genesis later, so that everyone can behold the divine radiance of our God!
In the sky.
Seeing the populace gradually calm down.
Jack turned to the two giant dragons and said.
"I bestow names upon you, and you shall join my city-state, serving as the Guardian Dragons of Entara. Do you agree?"
"Names?"
The two dragons had no concept of names, and Jack was too lazy to explain, so he directly initiated the recruitment process.
"The red fire dragon shall be named Ruby, after a ruby; the blue Ice Dragon shall be named Safi, after a sapphire."
Jack was very lazy.
These two adult dragons were different from Sevia; they could not become dependents, only ordinary citizens.
Therefore, their names were simply based on their physical characteristics.
As his voice fell.
As if his words were law, white light emanated from the bodies of the two giant dragons.
Afterward, they acquired character panels just like Sebas and the others.
Phase Four Fire Dragon.
