Rahma on the ground is dead.
There's no point in wasting a flame bar by continuing to hold the state.
Exit Status.
After the mind finished meditating.
The crown on his head instantly exploded into a red flame that dissipated in the air.
August's dragon body also began to gradually shrink up.
Until a faint wave of fatigue hit when normalcy was restored.
But something doesn't seem right.
The tiredness wasn't as strong this time as it was last time.
Is this side effect decaying or is your body getting used to it?
Both are possible.
Either way, the side effects in attenuation are real.
Good. It seems the Master has gotten stronger again.
Seeing August's body return to normality, it no longer exudes horrific heat.
Angela and Karel then came together and climbed up.
Looking at August the two fledgling dragon gazes held a distinct look of awe.
After this time they had a rough idea of August's strength.
It was at least at a level that could easily crush a high-ranked magical beast.
A low rank crushing a high rank, this could simply be described as unbelievable.
Or are all ectoplasmic dragons that sick?
Angela looked at August with more than a hint of envy.
Notice the two fledgling dragons that have come together.
August's dragon head turned his eyes to look at the two fledgling dragons.
Just as soon as their eyes met, they averted their gaze.
In fear of me?
Is this realizing how powerful I am.
The dragon's kiss cracked slightly.
Humbug, cringe, my foolish sisters.
August's mood became pleasant.
"You guys also contributed~ Let's eat together."
Even if three fledgling dragons ate it all together, there would still be a lot of it left at the end of the day.
Permission granted.
Just smelling the aroma of meat has already flowed out of the dragon's saliva Karel directly a vicious dragon pounce pounced on the corpse to tear up.
Angela tore up with sharp dragon teeth as well.
Looking at the two fledgling dragons already feeding, August was in no hurry.
The left claw grabbed Rahma's head and the right claw slashed through the flesh of the head.
After cutting a large opening in the middle of the skull, his right claw probed directly along the opening.
After a few hard stirs.
Ran into it.
Grab what you come across.
Draw back the claws.
The drawn back paw had white and red attached to it.
But none of that matters anymore.
August's eyes locked on what he was grasping in his paws.
It was a light blue bead, the bead was roughly the size of a tennis ball, and the surface emitted a faint blue glow.
The air around the beads instantly became much moister after they appeared.
This bead is Rahma's magic core.
The bead in his paw came close to the vertical pupil.
Inside the beads there were threads of thin blue filaments swimming around.
It's worthy of being the magic core of a high-ranked magical beast, there's so much magic power.
After eating this magic core one should be able to advance once.
Do you want to eat it now?
Forget it, it's better to wait until we get back to the cave and then lie down comfortably before advancing.
There's no rush for a while.
After thinking it over, August raised his dragon's head to look at the two guys feeding.
Blood stained their dragon scales, directly giving them a new color.
Judging by the big hole in Rahma's back these two have clearly been working hard.
But Rahma's body was so big that they ate just a little bit of it.
Moving to climb forward.
Noticed August come up.
Apparently he was going to eat as well.
Angela switched places and squeezed in to eat with Karel.
This guy knows his stuff.
Retracting his gaze from Angela, August buried his dragon's head and opened it up to rip a chunk of flesh directly from his stomach area.
emmm, chew chew chew.
The texture of the medium rare.
It seemed that his own dragon's breath was powerful enough that this interior was actually getting roasted.
Thinking of grilling, the last time the rat meat didn't make it.
I can't seem to bake this one either.
Once you've eaten it's time to get advanced.
Forget it, next time.
Thinking about it, August speeds up his eating once more.
....
Three Dragons in the middle of a feeding.
...
After feeling almost done, August stopped eating.
Sweeping the position next to him.
Karel and Angela are already digesting with their big bellies to the sky.
There was still about half of Rahma left on the ground.
Lie down in the same position.
Eat and drink before basking in the sun.
It was all warm and fuzzy all at once.
So sleepy, so eager to sleep.
The dragon's head shook.
No, it's not time to sleep.
To avoid falling asleep, August decides to talk to Angela and explain things in passing.
"Angela~Karel"
"Hmm?"
There was only one answer, and it was Angela.
After waiting a while there were still no words from Karel.
August's dragon head lifts from the ground to look at Karel.
Lying in a wide berth, her dragon's kiss was slightly open, and her large, fishy red tongue dangled out with it.
A crystalline dragon's saliva flowed down the stream.
That's good, sleepy.
This idiot.
Never mind, let's leave her alone for now.
It doesn't make a difference if the guy listens or doesn't listen anyway.
August re-laid the dragon's head back on the ground before speaking.
"Angela I'm going to advance this time back."
The natural progression of a fledgling dragon would take at least half a year.
Angela remembered the blue beads August had just pulled out of his skull.
The magic core of a high-ranking magical beast?
"Well, I know. I'll guard the cave."
August's dragon kiss cracked slightly, which was the answer he wanted to hear.
"What about the rest of the meat? Should we move it back?" Angela asked out loud.
"Let's move back together later~"
"Okay, at your service."
.....
After enough rest and stomach digestion.
Bracing himself, he crawled over to Karel and raised his claws for a big penny-pocket straight down.
"Ow~!"
Karel, who had wailed, immediately jumped up from the floor.
The menacing gaze gradually shifted to milky ferocity upon seeing that it was August standing in front of him.
The dragon's teeth clenched without a word.
As much as he wanted to take a bite out of August in front of him, Karel knew he couldn't really beat this guy.
You might get your ass kicked after the impulse, and that's too bad.
August was pleased with Karel's gnashing of teeth look.
Good, learn not to talk tough for once.
There's been progress.
Look to the side.
Angela had braced herself.
It seems that one doesn't need one's wake-up call.
"Don't sleep~"
"Get up and go back~"
"Hmph~!"
The answer to August was a haughty, cold grunt.
And humming and being cute.
Unfortunately, Master doesn't eat arrogance.
Crawling over to Rahma, who was only half left, he raised his sharp dragon claws.
August started cutting up.
The cutting went well.
Even if it cuts to the bone August's claws will only pause for so long at best.
Soon this half Rahma was cut into three even sized pieces.
August looked to Karel and Angela beside him and spoke.
"There are three pieces. We'll transport one piece per dragon."
"It's okay to carry this meat back, right?"
"I'm okay with it," Angela.
"Hm~ ╭(╯^╰)╮" Karel.
Okay, unanimous vote.
August reached out his claws and grabbed the meat in the center, unfurling his dragon wings and shaking them straight up into the sky.
Watching the back of the fly away, Angela withdrew her eyes and grabbed a piece of meat as well.
With that August guy gone, it always felt like the place became less safe.
"Karel, you hurry up too."
"We're not the only predators in this place."
After the reminder, it didn't matter if the guy listened or not, the words had been said anyway.
Angela spread her dragon wings and lifted them up.
"Hmph~ What are you afraid of! We're dragons."
"Just some inferior bloodline beasts in the district, what's there to be afraid of!"
The white dragon head swept around.
Indeed there seemed to be an uneasy feeling welling up.
Swooping forward he grabbed the meat on the ground with one claw.
Spreading his dragon wings and struggling to incite them up, he directly chased after Angela's back.
"Angela, wait for me."
Hearing a voice from behind Angela slowed down a bit.
What an idiot.
