Reincarnated as a black dragon, all for freedom!

Chapter 18: A melodramatic plot twist, a showdown between love rivals.

Light streamed through the cave entrance, falling onto the magic crystals that filled the cave, refracting into a sky full of starlight.

Razer lay sprawled out in the pile of magic crystals, taking a nap.

The fatigue from the battle against the beast tide dissipated completely during the three days of slumber.

The Devouring Talent operates day and night, devouring and refining all the pure elemental energy dissipating from the magic crystal.

The magic power within him became increasingly solid, and his strength gradually increased.

Half asleep and half awake.

Razer's ears suddenly twitched.

His vertical pupils suddenly opened.

Dragons are approaching, and there's more than one.

Three dragon auras were flying toward his dragon lair at an extremely fast speed.

He recognized two of the auras; they were Valena and Serena.

The third aura, unfamiliar and violent, belonged to an adult male red dragon.

"Um?"

Razer frowned slightly.

Wasn't it agreed that two female dragons would come to find him?

Why did you bring along a strange male red dragon?

They don't look like guests at all.

Although he had doubts, he did not panic.

Razer rose from the pile of magic crystals and strode out of the dragon's lair.

Facing the whistling sea breeze, we quietly awaited the arrival of the three-headed dragon.

In just a few dozen breaths.

Three enormous figures pierced the sky and appeared above the Black Reef Cliff.

Leading the group was Valena, with her crimson scales.

She was followed by Serena in ice blue.

Not far from them, a male red dragon, a size larger than Valena, followed.

He kept muttering something to himself, his face filled with urgency and resentment.

The three-headed dragon was getting closer and closer.

Their conversation also reached Razer's ears.

"Valena! How many times do I have to say it?! I've been chasing you for a full hundred years! Who on Dragon Island is more suitable for you than me?!"

The male red dragon's voice is rough and irritable.

"I, Karen, am a genius among the younger generation. How am I unworthy of you?!"

Valena turned her head sharply.

His vertical pupils were filled with impatience as he sternly reprimanded Karen:

"Karen! How many times have I told you, I'm not interested in you!"

"So what if you chase me for a hundred years? I'd rather stay single my whole life than choose you!"

"Can you please stop buzzing around me like a fly all day?!"

"I won't accept it!"

Karen roared in fury:

"Unless you tell me who you've got your eye on!"

"Of all the young male dragons on Dragon Island, who is more suitable for you than me?!"

Serena, standing to the side, helplessly advised:

"Karen, you can't force matters of the heart, so stop bothering Valena."

"We have other things to do, you should go back first."

"I'm not replying!"

Karen acted like a rogue, sticking close by and refusing to budge an inch.

"Until Valena explains herself clearly, I'm following her!"

Valena was furious at his persistent pestering, but when she saw Razer standing quietly on the cliff platform, her eyes lit up and she immediately had an idea.

She ignored Karen's incessant chatter beside her.

flapping its dragon wings, it swooped down and landed next to Raize.

The massive dragon body affectionately rubbed against Razer's dragon scales.

"Rayze, we're here."

Serena followed suit and landed.

She nodded gently to Raize.

A hint of helpless apology flashed in the icy blue dragon's eyes.

Karen, who had followed, looked at Valena, who was affectionately nuzzling against Razer, and then at the black dragon in front of him.

She was stunned for a few seconds, then realized what was happening, and her eyes instantly turned even redder.

His overwhelming anger erupted like a volcanic eruption.

He recognized Razer.

The genius Black Dragon, who shone brightly in the battle against the beast tide, is now the talk of the town throughout Dragon Island.

He never expected that Valena would get so close to this little black dragon!

Before Karen could even ask a question, Valena turned her head first and raised her chin at him.

"Karen, didn't you want to know who I've taken a liking to? I'll tell you now."

She stretched her neck and leaned affectionately against Razer's side.

"Raze, he's the partner I, Valena, have chosen!"

"Now you know? Don't bother me anymore!"

Karen's pupils contracted sharply, and his massive body trembled with rage.

He stared intently at Razer, letting out a roar:

"What?!"

He couldn't believe that Valena, whom he had pursued for a hundred years, had chosen a little black dragon who hadn't even grown its first feathers yet!

This black dragon has only lived for five hundred years!

No matter how talented he is, even if he breaks through to the legendary realm, in Karen's eyes he is still just a little guy!

Karen has lived for 1,200 years and is a veteran of countless battles. He is a renowned powerhouse among the younger generation.

How could I possibly lose to such a little kid?!

Jealousy and rage overwhelmed his reason.

"You brat! You dare steal the dragon that Karen has her eye on?!"

Razer stood there, listening to Valena's words and looking at the furious Karen in front of him.

I was left speechless.

No?

Having lived two lives, this was the first time he had encountered such a melodramatic plot.

What era are we living in? Why are we still playing these outdated tricks?

He and Valena had clearly agreed to get to know each other first.

As a result, this woman used him as a shield in order to get rid of her suitors.

Razer turned his head and glanced at Valena beside him.

The latter winked at him.

His vertical pupils were filled with a sly smile, showing no remorse for having tricked him.

Lei Ze sighed inwardly, feeling helpless.

Fine, I'll use you as a shield then.

Anyway, he also had feelings for Valena.

We can't just watch her be relentlessly pursued by other suitors.

Razer looked up at the enraged Karen across from him.

"My red dragon friend, Valena has already made it very clear that she is not interested in you."

"You can't force a relationship to be happy. You should go back and stop making a fool of yourself here."

"You're just asking for trouble?!"

Karen seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and let out a furious dragon roar.

"Kid! Don't think you can be arrogant in front of me just because you're a genius!"

"In the dragon race, strength is everything! If you want to steal my dragon, you'd better show some real skill!"

He took a step forward, unleashing his dragon might, which pressed down fiercely on Lei Ze.

"I challenge you to a duel!"

"If you beat me, I'll never bother Valena again!"

"If you lose, get the hell away from her! Do you dare accept?!"

Before Razer could even speak, Valena beside him exploded.

He sternly rebuked Karen:

"Karen! Stop being unreasonable!"

"With your strength, you think you can duel Razer? You're no match for him. Don't embarrass yourself here!"

Valena had intended to discourage Karen from taking the challenge.

But her words were like adding fuel to the fire.

Karen was trembling with rage, her eyes practically spitting fire.

"Great! Excellent!"

Karen was so angry that she laughed.

"Kid! Did you hear that? She actually said I'm no match for you!"

"You have no choice but to fight today!"

"I'll show her who the real powerhouse is!"

As he spoke, the fire elements around him gathered wildly.

It looked like they were about to take action.

The atmosphere on the cliff instantly became tense.

Razer looked at Karen, who had lost her mind.

He sighed helplessly.

Well, there's no escaping it now.

It's just a duel, isn't it?

Razer took a step forward and spoke calmly:

"Alright. I accept the duel."

A flicker of excitement crossed Valena's eyes.

She knew Lei Ze wouldn't back down.

Karen burst into wild laughter.

The laughter was filled with violence and ruthlessness:

"Good! You've got guts!"

"Fighting here is pointless. How about you come with me to Black Reef Island?!"

"Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson in front of the other dragons, you arrogant brat!"

"Let everyone know who Valena should choose!"

Black Reef Island is an uninhabited island in the waters near Storm Dragon Island.

It is a place specifically used by the dragon race for sparring and battles.

On ordinary days, there are always many dragons there to watch the competition and practice their skills.

Razer glanced at the clamoring Karen and shrugged indifferently.

It flapped its wings and took to the air, saying calmly:

"Sure. It doesn't matter where you play, as long as you don't deny the loss later."

Razer transformed into a black lightning bolt and flew towards Black Reef Island.

Valena and Serena exchanged a glance and immediately flapped their wings to follow.

Karen watched Razer's retreating figure, a sinister glint in her eyes.

It immediately flapped its dragon wings and gave chase.

A duel between rivals centered around the genius of Dragon Island.

It instantly became the focus of everyone's attention on Dragon Island.
