__________________
It alone won't be enough for my seventh feast. Looking at the huge earth bear in front of us, Hannah's heart was filled with joy, especially knowing every time I am done feasting a lot of monster corpses remains.
Such a grand feast! Even if I were to only receive a leg, I doubt I could finish even half of it. And that's not to mention all the magnificent magical creatures my brother would hunt for his monthly banquet.
***
Once we returned, I saw Emilia huffing and puffing, the half-eaten dire wolf carcass I had given her now completely devoured, with not even the bones remaining. However, she had forgotten to clean her face, which was still stained with blood—a detail my dragon-enhanced vision didn't miss.
Sighing at her tsundere behavior, I exhaled acid onto the Earth Bear's corpse and tossed it into a mud puddle.
After the corpse sinked in I walked in the corner and closed my eyes.
I took a quick nap for a couple of hours, and when I woke up, my body wasn't fully healed. I figured those wounds wouldn't heal fast, but it was okay for me. In my experience, I encountered a creature of almost sixth order. I had to fight not only to survive but also to defeat it. It was a miraculous outcome, and I doubt it will happen again. The sun was shining brightly, and it felt like only a little time had gone by.
There was a lot of time in my hands before night, so I had a particular creature in my mind.
So, I set out for another hunt. I was fortunate enough to take down a Wind Wolf, a Jungle Greed Python, and now an Earth Bear.
The Earth Bear, a nearly sixth-order magical creature, was already badly wounded, but details hardly mattered. I could now effortlessly hunt any creature around the fourth and early fifth order without sustaining significant injuries. This was quite a feat considering I had only just reached the fourth order.
The Jungle Green Lizard is a kind of strength and quite strong level of magic creature.
From order Zero to Four for low level, that is to say, the Jungle Green Lizard is already a low level magic creature among the strength of one of most upper order magic creatures. Add to the fact that it's hiding ability is great especially in a green forest.
For this reason, I also spent a lot of effort and time before I successfully found it and hunted it down.
This harmless battle with the green lizard had also given me understanding of my own strength.
That is, ordinary fourth order beasts are no longer a match for me. Hoveraver, I was not so arrogant as to think that I could challenge upper 5th order creatures.
The Earth Bear was worked out due a lot of luck and her being so wounded that she wouldn't have lived for long with a lot of blood loss, hunger and anger.
I won't say it was fluke but it was definitely the work of a lot of luck and right circumstances.
The fifth order creatures already belonged to the intermediate order creature,even weakest ones, its strength compared to a normal fourth order creature at least has four or five times the increase.
The gap between higher order was far greater than the gap between lower order.
For an order one dragon to challenge an order two ordinary magical creatures and win, it was nothing but to say that me, who is just a little fledgling dragon combat quality, was very good.
But if a rank four giant dragon crossed the level to challenge a rank five ordinary demonic creature and ended up winning, that would be somewhat remarkable, and would be enough to be called a genius dragon of the realm!
"In a few more months' time, with a few more layers of Feasts stacked on top of each other, I am afraid that I, Barbados, will also be able to become a true genius among the Realm of Giant Dragons." I grinned.
I brought the huge prey, the Green Lizard, and another Jungle Green Python, back to the Dragon nest. Amidst Hannah and Emilia's wide-eyed shocked eyes, I ate slowly and methodically.
As I had spent a lot of energy searching for the Green Lizard.
When I had eaten almost enough, I looked at the remaining remains of the blood and flesh all over the ground and casually greeted the two little Dragons, who had been impatient to come over, with.
"Eat" as my words fell Hannah and Emilia ran to the remains of two demonic creatures with excited faces.
Even the grumpy tsundere Emilia didn't ignore it as she knew if she didn't eat now not even a bone would be left from Hannah's mouth. So she was a very 'practical tsundere'.
"Many thanks big brother!" X2
Childish dragon language thanks came out of the months of the two little fledgling Dragons.
I accepted the dragon sisters' thanks with a natural expression, squinting my eyes as I plopped down next to the muddy pool, my thick and powerful dragon tail casually slashing across the water surface, causing gusts of ebony ripples.
It was not only the satisfaction of a full stomach after eating, but also the satisfying sense of fulfilment that my hunting and the dragon sisters' change in attitude now brought to me.
The little Dragonesses, Emilia and Hannah, already knew the basic truth of being a dragon, 'Eating a dragon's mouth is short, taking a dragon's claws is soft'.
In other words, accepting favors or aid from a powerful source can compromise your autonomy or integrity.
After Emilia and Hannah had eaten the blood of the Green Lizard and Jungle Green Python that were stuck to the soil, they walked to my side with one on the left and another one on the right.
Stretching out a pair of dragon claws, they ejected sharp nails and then began to scratch and pull at the scales on their big brother's body.
Sparks flew between the claws and scales colliding.
"-Hiss~Comfortable~" I cosily lay on the ground, allowing my dragon sisters to scratch and pull on my body with their sharp claws that were strong enough to disembowel second order magical beasts.
For today's me, this level of massage was just right. And Emilia and Hannah had grown accustomed to this behavior.
Big brother pays for food and labor, as younger sisters, help big brother massage so what?
It is their honor to massage big brother!
If there were other dragons to take this job, Hannah and even Emilia would have to get angry with the dragon.
"Haven't you had enough?, Try harder"
The somewhat distracted Emilia and Hannah were instantly energized, and the force of the dragon's claws once again increased by one point.
Huffing and Puffing, they pressed the mojo. From the forehead all the way to the dragon's tail, from the left wing to the right wing, and finally the four pairs of thick, muscle filled dragon claws.
"Big Brother's body is so strong, I'm afraid it's even stronger than a red dragon of the same age!"
As they massage down one part after another Emilia and Hannah grew more and more shocked and in awe in their hearts.
It seemed like Big Brother Babatos's body became even more majestic and powerful every time after a good night's sleep.
It is really a terrible talent!..
The Dragon sisters' were extremely envious and eager.
They didn't have any doubts about it, after all, the number of ectoplasmic dragons that had appeared during the countless years of Dragon race was actually a lot.
A material realm may be thousands of years old, it is difficult to appear as a powerful alien dragon, but the Star world has endless realms, countless years of accumulation, and how rare the number has also rushed up.
And there are not a few powerful Ectoplasmic Dragons that have made a name for themselves in the long history of the Dragon Race.
There are cells in the body that are undergoing nuclear fission all the time, there are golden dragons and titans hybridized, and there are even those who are engaged in high technology, some even reaching the pinnacle of godhood.
At this point of time, in front of these famous Ectoplasmic Dragons seniors that had ravaged the Star Realm, I was still not enough, just a little guy.

3rd Person POV:
A corner of the dark forest. A thin and short figure cautiously poked its head out from the dense forest.
Suddenly, a large Grey rabbit swept through the grass in front of it.
With a sound that pierced the air, a poorly polished wooden javelin ruthlessly pierced the eye I'd the big grey rabbit, penetrating through its brain and nailing its body to the black soil ground with its body.
A fatal blow!
Waiting for the gray rabbit's signs of life to completely disappear, this thin and short black scale figure stepped forward to pick it up along with the small wooden javelin.
In the dense forest, a drop of water slowly condensed and dripped down from the leaves, and the weak refracted light exposed tve black scaled figure's face for a very brief moment.
Fine black scales, a pair of small black horns behind the forehead, dark and deep pupils. It was the dog headed man Skye!
Compared to when he was first captured by Babatos, the appearance of Skye at this moment had changed drastically.
The body is still weak and short, but compared to the beginning of less than a metre tall, with the same size as a hemp bamboo pole.
Today's Skye height reached 1.4 meters, a seemingly dry body under the scales of the body hides the strength of the tough and strong muscles, eyes will often kill the fight with only a faint ferocity.
Skye silently pulled the grey rabbit corpse out of the wooden javelin, then opened his mouth and his sharp teeth directly bit down hard.
"Gulp"
The still warm blood of gray rabbit was directly swallowed by Skye in a big gulp.
When the blood sucking was finished, with a single bite and tear of Skye's sharp teeth, he tore off a piece from the gray rabbit.
Chewing it several times, feeling the delicious flavor of fresh blood and meat bursting in his mouth, Skye squinted his small eyes in satisfaction.
Under this savage tearing and swallowing, a large gray rabbit weighing more than ten pounds was soon left with only some scraps of bloodied fur.
"Uhh"
Skye licked his lips that were covered in dried blood, feeling the dragon vein power that was being activated and running in his body that had been bestowed by the great True Dragon Master.
The gray rabbit's flesh and blood that he had just swallowed was being digested at speed beyond the norm.
And along with the blood and flesh being digested, a stem of power flowed through Skye's body's flesh, sinews and bones, slowly but steadily strengthening the strength of his body.
Half an hour passed, Skye slowly opened his eyes, his dark and deep pupils flashed with a brilliant light.
"Thirty sunrises and sunsets have passed." Dogman Skye murmured in a low voice.
A full thirty days had passed since the great True Dragon Master bestowed it with the power of Dragon Vein.
During this period of time, Dogman Skye had been formal following its master's orders.
Hunting and surviving around here, developing the dragon vein power that he had just obtained in his body, improving his own strength, and then waiting for his strength to be enough to go to the western region to 'open up a territory' for his master, and lay down the foundation of his master's future territory.
Within this short period of one month, with the magical dragon vein power bestowed by his master, Dogman Skye's body began to undergo drastic changes.
Its body became stronger and taller than those powerful dog headed warriors in the original tribe. Its wrist strength became enough to easily crush a stone.
The hardness of the scales on its body was more powerful enough to resist the sharp teeth of ordinary beasts.
It's…
Skye, in a month's time, was directly transformed!
Every time he saw his current reflected appearance in the middle of the forest puddle, Skye had some hot tears in his eyes.
"All of this was bestowed upon me by my master." "I am going to become even stronger and more robust!"
A mouthful of hot air erupted out from the middle of his mouth and nose, frozen by the low temperature of the forest and condensed into a gust of white mist.
The climate had entered the early winter season, and with every day that passed, the temperature would drop a bit.
On such days, weak and ordinary dog headed people like Skye have to accept the tribe's task, carrying a basket to the forest to collect firewood, collect edible plants and roots.
In this process, there are often many unlucky people who will encounter out hunting to save Dat for the winter of the beasts or even strong magic beasts.
Hundreds of dog headed men went out, and when they came back there might only be seventy or eighty left.
The rest fell down forever somewhere in the Dark Forest, and remains of their bodies might appear in the pile of faeces in a few days.
The grey rabbit's flesh and blood in his body was gradually digested. Skye began to feel hungry again.
Since obtaining the Dragon Vein power bestowed by his master, Skye was eating more and more, but he was also getting hungry faster and faster.
And in the process, Skye's physical strength, power and agility couldn't stop getting stronger.
If Babatos knew about it, he would have a strange look in his eyes.
'Wasn't this equivalent to a weakened version of the Feast Skill?'
"Time to continue the hunt." Skye got up from the ground and slowly walked outside from the middle of the cave.
A wooden javelin was grasped in his hand, and five or six wooden javelins were placed in the homemade animal skin bag behind him.
Almost every javelin was dyed a dark red color by blood, and a faint smell of blood enveloped Skye's body.
Facing the cold wind of early winter, the figure of the dog headed man Skye slowly disappeared.
Hunger and the belief of becoming stronger drove the dog headed Skye to kill and fight continuously.

Babatos POV:
As I looked at the feast panel in front of me, it finally cooled down.
Start the feast.
A familiar feeling of hunger sweeps all over me. I started to devour the pile of monster corpses in front of me, and in a few minutes the pile of monster corpses had disappeared leaving only a few bodies.
As I checked the feast process which has reached 67%. I start eating the corpse of the Earth Bear I was saving this whole time as the eating begins the percentage of the Feasts level also begins to change.
After eating nearly 2/3rd of it. The seventh level if the feast reaches 92% only after at this point, I turned my gaze to the magic crystal in my hand.
'It has a richer aroma on it.'
Without hesitation, I swallow it directly. Then the level of the seventh layer of the feast finally reached 100%.
I left the remaining monster meat to Hannah and some for Emilia if she wants she could share more. Telling Hannah this.
I quickly head towards the other corner of the Dragon nest. I casually opened up a small cave and lay down.
In the familiar dark space.
I quietly watched as my body became stronger step by step.
Continuously growing!
This time seems different.
