Chapter 9 Battle of the Giant's Mouth

The red dragon opened its bloody mouth and bit down hard on the neck of the dragon's head without hesitation.

The extremely sharp dragon teeth pierced the Chimera's scales, pierced the tough skin, and embedded themselves deeply into the flesh.

Blood splattered everywhere, his head was raised, and he let out a shrill wail. The originally menacing breath of fire also stopped abruptly.

"Ouch——"

The chimera dragon-like wings flapped wildly and struggled to fly upwards. At the same time, the thick and sharp lion claws also waved towards the red dragon in mid-air, hoping to use this to launch a counterattack and escape from the embarrassing situation.

Cassius let go of his mouth, nimbly dodged the incoming slap, flapped his wings lightly, and flew diagonally over the Chimera.

At this time, the offensive and defensive forces were different. The red dragon roared happily, swooped down, and rushed towards the back of the Chimera.

"Roar--"

Compared to the grotesque body of the monster below, the red dragon's streamlined body is obviously more advantageous when flying.

The Chimera in mid-air was unable to dodge his movements anymore, so it could only flap its wings in vain, looking back and watching the red dragon's figure keep approaching.

"Got you."

Cassius stretched out his wings, and his strong claws directly grasped the Chimera's wings.

The Chimera panicked and lost its balance. It could only flap its wings randomly and gnawed its three heads backwards in an attempt to get rid of the red dragon on its back.

"Bull Power!"

The red dragon roared angrily, and the power of the spell poured into his heart, and then pumped to every muscle in his body. The already thick limbs bulged exaggeratedly, and even bursts of steam came out.

Cassius suddenly felt a sharp increase in strength.

His claws locked tightly on the Chimera's wings, almost crushing its flesh and bones.

"Who gave you the courage——"

"Flying in front of a real dragon?"

"Get down here!"

Cassius said viciously.

He then tightened his wings and pressed down all his weight and strength - the red dragon needed a crushing victory.

Chimera, who was still struggling before, is now under the control of absolute power, with no room for escape.

It can only wait in despair.

"Oooh-ooh-"

The Chimera first struggled unsteadily in the air, and then, under the strong pressure of the red dragon, it fell straight to the ground from a height of more than ten meters in the air.

"boom!"

The ground roared.

For a time, dust was flying, gravel was flying, rocks collapsed, and a huge shallow pit was smashed into the ground.

The Chimera in the pit was particularly miserable. Not only was it covered with scars, but its wings were about to be broken.

"Let me show you what the real flame is!"

The red dragon pressed down on the half-dead Chimera, its mouth slightly opened, and the hot fire element was accumulating deep in its throat - from the slightly distorted air at the corner of its mouth, you could see the horror of this flame breath.

"Surrender."

"Or death."

Cassius stared at the frightened and demoralized eyes on the Chimera lion's head and spoke word by word.

Although Chimera is a cruel and aggressive creature, it still cherishes life, not to mention that its dragon blood makes it naturally succumb to more powerful dragons and become evil servants.

Under the threat of death, without too much hesitation, the three heads of the dragon, lion, and sheep hung down with difficulty, exposing their fragile necks, and let out a low groan to express their submission to the strong man.

"Ouch..."

In the face of strength, everything is equal. This is the simplest and most brutal law in the wilderness.

"Submit...master..."

This chimera can actually speak simple dragon language, although it is just a forced expression of words.

Cassius then released his claws holding the Chimera, and then sprayed the long-simmering flame breath less than one meter away from her.

In an instant, the blazing flames scorched the ground black and the rocks exploded.

Chimera was still frightened, but also a little in awe. Because it knows that if it takes this hit, it will basically die.

The Chimera slowly climbed up from the shallow pit, its injured wings tightened behind its back, its scarred limbs struggling to support its body, its three heads hanging low, not daring to look directly into the red dragon's eyes.

The red dragon jumped onto the towering rock wall outside the cave, looked down from a high position, and roared in dragon language:

"This will be me from now on——

"Cassius' lair."

The sound shocked all directions and could be heard by many creatures for miles around.

Whether it’s a feasting gnoll, a robbing ogre, or a snoring bugbear...

Maybe they don't realize that this territory has changed owners now, but Cassius is confident that they will understand this soon, no matter how.

Immediately, he jumped off the rock wall lightly, his eyes returned to the Chimera who lowered his head and listened to the order, and said casually:

"From now on, you must remember this name firmly and not disobey me. Lead the way."

"Yes……"

The Chimera nodded slightly and walked ahead, heading deeper into the Giant's Mouth Cave.

It was very warm inside the cave, presumably because there was enough fire element in the mountain, which made the red dragon feel very comfortable.

As he walked through the deep passage, Cassius found that there were many skeletal remains of creatures scattered inside, including huge giant skulls, wing bones of wyverns, and even humanoid skulls with horns.

"Is it Cambion?

"No, it should be tiefling."

Cassius thought to himself.

The red dragon continued to follow behind, passing through the deep outer passage, and suddenly the front was open. The space inside the cave was more spacious, even if it could accommodate a mature red dragon.

There were still leftovers everywhere, and there were large and small cave entrances and passages.

When Chimera walked past a pile of bones, he hesitated and thought for a moment, and then quickly pretended not to see it and walked forward.

It was deliberately guiding the red dragon to go in.

However, Cassius keenly observed this abnormality, called Chimera who was leading the way in front, and asked coldly in dragon language:

"What are you hiding? What is there?"

"No..."

"No..."

Chimera turned around and whimpered, lowered his head and begged for mercy.

The red dragon dug open the pile of bones, but found that there was a hidden cave inside. And looking down from the cave entrance, you can see thousands of yellow gold coins flickering slightly in the dark cave.

Chimera has dragon blood and inherited the dragon's greed. It is his nature to plunder and gather treasures, but he is gifted to collect so many gold coins.

"According to the rules of the dragon clan, I will take half of it."

"But if you dare to hide it from me again..."

"There will be no next time."

"Yes... Master."

The three heads of the beast drooped.

Cassius glanced at it, and then entered the cave under the extremely painful gaze of the Chimera's dragon head.

With just one bite, his bloody mouth swallowed hundreds of gold coins

- that is, most of the savings of Chimera from years of killing and plundering.
