Chapter 79 All Disloyal Ones Must Die

There were exactly twenty-six Dragon Killer Fruits in the clump in front of Thor.

He raised his paw, plucked one from the pile, and brought it close to his nose to sniff it. A strong, pungent odor hit him, instantly filling him with a powerful sense of disgust.

Does this thing also have a restraining effect on red dragons from another world? Is it because I also have so-called dragon attribute energy within me, or am I simply averse to this smell?

Saul decided to try one more step.

It's important to know that in the world of Monster Hunter, dragon elemental energy is practically synonymous with powerful monsters, and it possesses the formidable power to suppress other natural elements.

With a slight exertion of his claws, he easily pierced the skin of the Dragon Killing Fruit, and a drop of dark red, viscous juice immediately gushed out.

The stench in the air that disgusted him grew stronger, but Saul still forced himself to endure the discomfort and licked the drop of juice into his mouth.

A faint bitter taste spreads across the tip of the tongue, accompanied by a burning sensation similar to that experienced when eating chili peppers.

Perhaps the dosage was too small; apart from that, there were no other noticeable changes.

So Thor thought for a moment, then opened his mouth wide and swallowed the Dragon Slayer Fruit he was holding in his claws.

In the world of Monster Hunter, if an ordinary monster accidentally eats a Dragon Slayer Fruit, even if it suffers various negative effects, as long as the amount ingested is not large, it will not cause serious injury or even death.

As a red dragon from another world, and a purified individual at that, with his extraordinary physique, eating one or two of these shouldn't pose any major problems.

Time ticked by, and just when Thor thought the thing had no effect on him, his magic suddenly became abnormal.

The magic that had been flowing quietly began to ripple, and some of it even escaped uncontrollably from the body, turning into colorful specks of light that dissipated into the cave.

The blood flow in my body kept accelerating, and my muscles and bones felt a faint burning sensation. The nerves in my head were throbbing, as if something was constantly pulsating inside.

Thor shook his grotesque head uncomfortably, but thankfully the discomfort didn't last long; he recovered in about a minute.

He carefully examined his current physical condition and found that apart from a loss of some magic power, everything else seemed the same as before.

However, Thor didn't expect to gain dragon attribute energy with just one Dragon Slayer Fruit. This attempt was just something he happened to draw and wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

He glanced at the remaining twenty-odd Dragon Killing Fruits and decided not to eat any more.

He then tapped the giant turntable in his mind with his consciousness, and a deep blue, cold-looking ore appeared in his claw.

These are the ice crystals we extracted earlier, which are perfect for preserving these Dragon Slayer Fruits. After some time, once we've confirmed there are absolutely no negative effects, we'll proceed with further trials.

A true dragon spends most of its life in slumber. Although Thor has more energy thanks to the various monster templates he possesses, he still retains the habit of taking a short nap every day.

When I woke up, it was already bright daylight. The bright sunlight shone in from outside the cave, leaving bright beams of light in the air due to the Tyndall effect.

Thor climbed up from the platform, stretched vigorously, and the scales on his body collided with each other, producing a crisp metallic clanging sound.

The minerals he ate yesterday have been completely digested and absorbed by his body, and now the bright red scales on his body seem to have deepened in color.

The scales on the chest, back, outer sides of the limbs, and back of the wings are showing signs of growing larger and merging together.

Seeing that it was getting late, he crawled out of the cave, flapped his wings, and flew towards the canyon where the gnolls and goblins had fought the day before.

While suspended in mid-air, thanks to the dragon's excellent eyesight, he could see the group of furry figures in the canyon from a great distance.

The origins of the gnolls are said to date back to ancient times.

At that time, the demon lord Yenogu broke through the dimensional barrier and came to the prime material plane, where he carried out indiscriminate slaughter.

At that moment, a pack of ordinary hyenas followed him, feeding on the remains of his carnage. Eventually, they were completely distorted by the energy of the abyss and transformed into the gnolls they are today.

Therefore, they are both as cruel and bloodthirsty as demons, and also have the nature of hyenas, regarding obedience to the strong and bullying the weak as equally natural.

A red dragon, a red dragon that can instantly kill hundreds of creatures with its breath, is, to these guys, the strongest being they can imagine, apart from the legendary gods.

For them, submission to him was not a humiliation, but rather, to some extent, an honor.

As Thor's outstretched wings cast a deathly shadow on the ground, more than fifty gnolls immediately prostrated themselves in reverence.

Among them, besides those who survived yesterday, there were some cubs, but no elderly individuals—ordinary gnolls simply don't live that long.

Thor looked down at the group of furry hyena heads. As he had instructed yesterday, most of the gnolls had been cleaned of filth and blood, but they still emitted a faint stench.

In this wild, hilly region, water is undoubtedly a precious resource. There certainly wasn't enough water for them to bathe, so they must have cleaned their fur by licking it.

Upon seeing Thor's massive figure, gleaming with a crimson metallic sheen, land on a protruding boulder on the side of the canyon, the gnolls lying on the ground immediately let out a strange cry that was both crying and laughing, scratching their palms with their fingernails and leaving a bright red claw mark on their hearts.

"Welcome, great Red Dragon!"

"I pledge my loyalty to the great Red Dragon!"

The dragon heritage in his mind made Thor understand that this act of pressing a claw mark on the chest was a unique oath by gnolls to express loyalty, signifying that his heart had already been given to the object of his loyalty.

A series of prompts indicating the addition of essential points flashed past below his line of sight, a sensible gesture that made Thor feel a surge of pleasure.

This is also one of the benefits of being a red dragon. As the strongest of the colorful dragons, it naturally attracts a large number of evil creatures to come and join it.

However, Thor's good mood didn't last long, because he didn't see a single goblin in the canyon below.

These lowly green dwarfs dared to disobey his orders! Regardless of any other reasons behind it, they must pay a heavy price!

Now, let's wipe them all out, thereby announcing to other creatures the arrival of the true ruler of this mountain range!
