I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 851

Chapter 64: Stuffed, Sipping, and Snoozing

On the mountaintop, miasma wriggled while a four-legged giant dragon lay there, sound asleep.

The group of dragons bowed their heads, not daring to disturb its nap.

An ice dragon flew in, delivering a message from Marigoth.

But before it could finish, a light chuckle came from the mountaintop.

“Three more days? Looks like that useless elder sister of mine is pretty banged up.”

“Forget it, no need to wait for her. I’ll clean up this mess myself.”

The ice dragon below felt a bit uneasy. “Respected King Erosion, my lord has ordered you to meet with Frost King and then attack the human capital together.”

Another round of chilling laughter followed.

As the giant dragon rose, green mist dripped from its scales, spreading like a swamp and bringing a suffocating sourness with it.

That was the scent of death.

“My compatriots are hung on the city walls; such a naked provocation, and you want me to remain indifferent?!”

The oppression from this mythical beast was enough to suffocate mortals; the extraordinary trembled.

Even this pureblood giant dragon from the ice dragon clan could only lower its head, exhausting all humility.

“But, but Frost King said we must not underestimate them…”

“Humans are nothing but ants! Underestimate them? It’s a disgrace for our dragonkin to deal with ants like gold!”

King Erosion raised its head and roared. The Acid Dragon clan bared its fangs, flapping its wings and exuding the same corrosive aura, responding to the king’s roar.

This was a bloodthirstiness a hundred times more ferocious than a starving wolf pack.

It was hatred that only intelligent beings could deeply engrave in their hearts.

“The thought that those humans can still sleep peacefully, that they can breathe even for a second makes me sick!”

“No need to wait for Marigoth anymore, everyone, tomorrow, let’s completely end their kingdom! As a blood sacrifice for our harmed compatriots!”

Under the bloody sunset, with King Erosion’s command, the frenzied dragon pack finally broke free of their last shackles.

——————————

The sunset dotted the woods.

Though it was still early, the troops had already halted their march.

It was far too dangerous to move through the woods at night; losing soldiers before even reaching the capital was not worth the risk.

Fortunately, they were already quite close to the capital. Even without the Blood Seekers, the path was clear.

Karl and Naz were not yet at their peak, but they could at least fight.

With them on watch duty, Roy had some extra time to rest.

At that moment, he was hastily eating dinner while chatting with his griffin.

Although to outsiders, this scene of him chattering away at a griffin seemed a bit bizarre.

“Big Brother, I can’t wait to go back and tell Miss Cake all about my heroic deeds!” Cheese said, lounging behind Roy like a furry pillow, pawing with excitement. “Defeating the Seven Celestial Dragons, how impressive!”

It’s great that his best bro regained confidence and was no longer humble, but Roy couldn’t help but quip, “What heroic deeds? Weren’t you just running away?”

“I think it’s better to be honest with the opposite sex.”

Cheese was getting anxious. “Running away is a kind of combat too! Big Brother, griffin knights share both glory and shame; even if we have no merit, we still put in the hard work!”

“What do we do then…”

Roy bit into the roast meat, pretending to be troubled.

“Come on, Big Brother, just help me say a few good words! You have such a good relationship with Miss Cake’s master, if you just say I’m a bit braver, it might just work!”

While he spoke, Cheese rubbed against Roy like a fuzzy ball, creating a burst of static that curled Roy’s hair.

Unable to endure this static attack, Roy could only smile weakly, “Alright, alright, I’ll help you.”

“When have I ever shortchanged my brothers?”

To be fair, without the Golden-Winged Griffin, he wouldn’t be able to handle the flying giant dragons. In fact, Cheese had saved his life more than once—this was a small favor.

What truly worried Roy was another matter.

Last time against Marigoth, Cheese had clearly been at a disadvantage. In front of the mythical tier Seven Celestial Dragons, the speed of the Golden-Winged Griffin didn’t count for much, and he couldn’t fly himself. If he faced the dragon clan again, he needed to find a way to boost Cheese’s strength.

When life and death were at stake, emotional issues had to be put on hold.

“By the way, don’t you griffins have any other way to enhance your extraordinary bloodline apart from natural growth?”

Cheese looked at him with a clear but foolish expression. “Eating well, drinking well, and sleeping a lot, isn’t that enough?”

Roy fell silent for a bit.

Looks like discussing such matters with magical beasts was still a bit premature.

Since ancient times, griffins had been humanity’s best allies against dragons.

Just in terms of speed, they rivaled or even surpassed dragons, making them the only creatures that could contend with flying dragons in the sky.

Sadly, Cheese’s bloodline level was too low, which was still insufficient against the Seven Celestial Dragons. Even if he could level up to the mid-tier, it wouldn’t mean he could catch up to their speed, but at least he could hold his own.

Unfortunately, most magical beasts grew primarily through natural means, and griffins seemed no different.

But just as Roy had nearly given up hope, he heard Roland’s voice in his mind.

“Wait, I remember, the Lionheart royal family has a special elixir that can enhance the bloodline power of griffins.”

“Really? Charlotte has never mentioned it!”

“After all, some of the materials have already been lost. It requires fresh, untainted dragon blood, and current dragons are more or less contaminated by Nidhogg’s power, making it useless.”

Great, saying this was just like saying nothing at all.

It was rumored that the Black Dragon, Nidhogg, like the Evil Dragon, Fafnir, had fallen into madness for unknown reasons, hence the former was also known as the Mad Dragon.

The reason the dragon clan waged war against humanity was precisely due to this—nothing secret about it.

Thinking of this, Roy couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Honestly, Mom hasn’t been much help lately. Karl could still give him some tips on unlocking his bloodline, but Roland just spouted some useless knowledge.

“I have a feeling you’re thinking something extremely disrespectful!”

“Surprise, how did you know?”

“You really are thinking that! Unfilial! Totally unfilial!”

Roland exploded in outrage.

“Tsk tsk, if I were alive, I’d definitely whip you into shape…”

After her rambling, Roland’s tone suddenly became serious.

“By the way, your bloodline is still okay, right?”

“…Do you know something?”

Roy clutched his chest, his expression a bit peculiar. “Lately, I keep feeling something’s off with my bloodline, like it’s…sad.”

“Especially when facing Marigoth before.”

Roland seemed to understand. “I knew it…”

“As your divinity increases, along with external stimuli, the remnants of the demigod within you are becoming activated, and this will definitely affect your bloodline.”

“Is there a danger?” Roy thought of the concept of “soul snatching” from his past life and suddenly felt uneasy.

“I was the same way; don’t worry, the awakening of the demigod remnants will strengthen your extraordinary bloodline, providing you with benefits without harm. You should actually speed up this process.”

Regarding the issue with the False King, Roland certainly knew more than him after exploring it for years.

It’s here, my eagerly anticipated mother finally comes in handy again!

Roy asked sincerely, “What should I do specifically?”

“Eat well, drink well, and sleep a lot.”

Hearing Roland’s tone as if it were a matter of course, and looking over at the Golden-Winged Griffin next to him, which had evidently turned into a dead pig, Roy couldn’t help but question his life choices.

Is this method really reliable?! Awakening the remnants of a demigod and enhancing an extraordinary bloodline is just about me sleeping like a pig?!
