Ethan had almost forgotten that at that time, dragons were treated just like any other wild beasts, or perhaps it was more accurate to call them monsters given their danger. However, he realized that he had no ability whatsoever to kill a dragon.
He was merely a side character in a novel, unable to even defeat a slender woman like Helena in swordsmanship. How could he expect to keep his life intact if he were to fight a dragon?
"I'm not foolish enough to challenge you to a fight," Ethan admitted honestly, realizing the futility of such a confrontation.
This made the dragon laugh even more, amused by Ethan's candid admission. "Then why did you approach me?" the dragon inquired, curious about Ethan's intentions.
