Chapter 6: Siphoning Strike

Since he wanted to fight against an evenly-matched opponent, Ansair didn't engage in sneak attacks from the air.

"Roar!"

He landed in front of the giant lion, raised his head to the sky, and let out a long roar.

The giant lion was supposed to be the overlord of this area, as it was sleeping soundly, it didn't expect that other creatures would come to provoke him and wake him up.

As it opened its eyes, Ansair's huge golden figure was reflected in its scarlet pupils.

With the anger of being woken up, plus Ansair's lack of coercion that is unique to Golden Dragons, it thought it was a punny Dragon Beast in front of it.

As stunted deformities, Dragon Beasts are far inferior to dragons of the same age in physical fitness, and even some powerful ferocious species are not afraid of them.

"Roar!"

The giant lion stood up straight and opened its mouth wide to express itself to Ansair.

The momentum and fierceness of the king of the forest hit Ansair.

"Heh", Ansair sneered, dragons are not afraid of any kind of creature, let alone just a wild beast in front of him.

He tightened his wings, his limbs stirred up dust all over the ground, and quickly slammed it into the giant lion.

The giant lion didn't back down, it jumped up, and bumped into Ansair fiercely.

The two behemoths fell to the ground at the same time, making a loud noise.

The beasts in the forest fled to the distance one after another, deeply feeling that hiding in the woods also risked death.

Without much combat experience, this impact made Ansair stare at the lion.

But the giant lion was different. It just got up and shook its head, then immediately threw itself on Ansair.

From its birth, it has been constantly hunting and growing in the forest, and its combat experience is much better than that of Ansair who attacks instinctively.

In a moment of carelessness, Ansair was thrown to the ground.

He was actually being crushed by a wild beast, Ansair looked at the giant lion that was crushing him, and felt a little resentful.

The giant lion opened its jaws wide and bit Ansair's neck, trying to kill the ignorant creature in front of it that woke it up from sleep.

Ansair's heart trembled, as his two dragon claws vigorously pushed the giant lion off his body.

He looked down at the blood-stained broken scales on his chest.

Although the giant lion didn't bite him just now, it left scars on his body with its claws.

Since crossing into a Golden Dragon, this was the first time he was injured and felt pain.

He was actually wounded by a beast, it was really embarrassing to a dragon.

Ansair was furious as he rushed towards the giant lion.

His dragon claw grabbed the giant lion fiercely, but he didn't want his dragon claw, which had always been invincible, to be controlled by the giant lion.

The giant lion fought back as it tried to bite him.

He had no choice but to take a few steps back in a hurry to avoid the attack.

Ansair's body was now more than ten meters long, and he was at least a juvenile dragon from a Golden Dragon's perspective.

If it was a normal young dragon, even without using magic and breath, its physical strength alone would be enough to crush the giant lion in front of it.

But his body was modified through "Feast". Although his vitality has improved, the increase in strength and defense has not completely kept up.

Ansair didn't believe that he'll lose as he stepped forward to wave his claw again.

Seeing that he used the same trick again, the giant lion didn't dodge it and stretched out its claws in disdain to catch the attack like before.

But this time, a cloud of black and purple gas suddenly appeared on Ansair's claw.

The warning of danger made the giant lion want to escape, but it was too late at this moment.

Unrivaled power came from the claws, and the lion's claws were easily bounced off by the dragon's claws. His dragon's claws landed on the brown fur of the giant lion, leaving a deep scratch.

As the claw landed on the giant lion's body, it sent it flying.

The sudden change made Ansair, who was originally in a state of anger, wake up.

He glanced at his paws, they were still golden, as if the black and purple aura just now was just an illusion.

But he knew that he must have newly awakened some skills.

'Coming out to play this time is really rewarding. I not only gained some combat experience but also awakened new skills.'

The giant lion got up hastily, its survival instinct broke out, and it quickly swept away into the distance.

"Hmph!" Ansair snorted coldly.

He would not let this lion go easily, he dared to pin him down and even scratched him.

He chased after the giant lion, and after breaking countless trees, he finally caught up.

"Feast" starts.

With just one bite, most of the giant lion's body disappeared, and the remaining body fell to the ground.

Ansair's body size has also become slightly larger. With so many layers of "Feast" stacked up, the increase of his growth is not so obvious.

The strong smell of blood attracted many beasts, but none of them dared to go forward, they were all afraid of the huge golden figure in front of the giant lion.

Ansair burped after eating and drinking his fill, he exercised his muscles and bones again as he didn't plan to continue on playing.

He rubbed his belly and was about to go back home to see what skills he had awakened.

Back at the dragon's nest, his mother frowned as she smelled the blood on Ansair's body.

She chanted the spell softly, and a breeze surrounded Ansair.

Ansair felt as if a group of wind elves was tickling all over him.　　

After a while, the breeze turned into a blood-red color and drifted towards the outside of the hall.

"Thank you, Mom." Ansair thanked her.

"Is it fun outside?" Olivia asked.

She really couldn't understand her own child. When she was Ansair's age, the happiest thing was to roll around in her mother's treasure pile. What's the point of going out to fight wild beasts?

Elena was still normal, Olivia glanced at the little Golden Dragon who was foolishly counting gold coins not far away.

Ansair nodded upon hearing this.

Olivia thought for a moment, thinking that this might be a good thing.

"That's great. From now on, you will be responsible for preparing food for your sister, so I can go out to meet my sisters."

He can choose the food for himself, and it will be more convenient and faster to stack the layers of "Feast".

Ansair agreed as he lay down on the treasure pile and closed his eyes.

Familiar black mist emerged around him, bypassing the first two steles, Ansair looked up at the third stele that newly appeared.

It depicts a kobold wearing an ancient Egyptian costume, holding a giant ax inlaid with opal in his hand.

It turned out to be Nasus, the curator of the sand. Ansair was overjoyed, and he had already guessed the newly awakened skills pretty well.

[Siphoning Striker: The attack comes with additional physical damage. Every time an enemy is killed through this skill, the damage of this skill will increase. Cooling time 10s. The current layer number (0). ]

Another magical skill that can grow infinitely!

The expression on Ansair's face suddenly became weird.

Why do these skills keep me from developing?

I don't want to be Ten Miles Sword God! (1) I want to go out and surf!

(1) Ten Miles Sword God - basically means that he'll be cooped up cultivating till he reached the peak until he goes out.
