Book 4: Chapter 115: Gerald, The Origin Dragon

“Where did this insect come from?”

The massive creature slowly raised his noble head, straightening his snake-like slender neck above Lilith’s head. The front part of the phantom gradually manifested. He moved his shiny scales that glowed with the luster of gems, creating sharp and metallic screeching sounds.

However, its back did not fully manifest itself. It blended into the background like a golden mist. It was a golden dragon… An ancient dragon that had lived through a countless number of years and had attained an unknown realm.

He laid dormant in the long river of time, yet not a single creature could forget its mightiness! Now that he was awakened from his deep slumber, he would surely unleash a storm of fury! Just his presence alone was enough to make anyone realize their own insignificance and powerlessness.

The dragon looked down at Cornelia condescendingly, like she was nothing more than a small mustard seed. His golden dragon pupils shone, like two massive suns. Just meeting his gaze alone brought on agonizing pain. Cornelia felt as though her brain got stabbed by countless needles.

Power surged around her, ready to face her worst enemy. The fluttering black feathers flew around her like they had been swept by a tornado. She was prepared to take the dragon’s storm of fury head-on. She’d persevere, no matter how terrible the next attack would be!

COME! DAMN DRAGON! I’M PREPARED TO FIGHT YOU! EVEN IF YOU ARE THE MOST POWERFUL CREATURE IN THIS WORLD, I WILL NEVER YIELD!

“What a lovely little girl~”

“Eh?”

“It has been ages since I last laid eyes upon such a delicate beauty. This face and skin… Hmm, hmm. A white-haired loli fits my taste too… Shall we exchange contact details?”

“Huh?”

“Hm? Did your ears fail you, pretty one?”

The golden dragon shook its massive head, then slowly leaned closer to Cornelia. So close that she could feel the powerful gust of hot breaths coming out from his nostrils.

“My lovely beauty, I have reserved the best hotel in this world that comes with the most fantastic view of the starry sky. There we can watch the deaths of the stars and the births of the universe in the distance, and also admire the beauty of our own galaxy while we enjoy a bottle of ten million years old fine wine. You don’t have to worry about getting drunk. Surely, their ultimate 100,000 square meters bed can meet all your needs.”

An extremely sincere expression unexpectedly appeared on the golden dragon’s fierce face.

“Would you accept my invitation to a dinner date, my fair lady?”

“Huuuh?!”

Cornelia was dumbfounded. What was going on?! Did she fall into the enemy’s illusion?

But she had lived for so long and she had never heard that illusion spells were a dragon’s forte. Or more like there was never any illusion spells among dragon language magic.

Cornelia secretly dug her nails into her palms.

Hiss… That hurts… It’s no illusion… This is real… This terrifying and majestic creature that addressed me like an insect… Actually invited me to a dinner date.

This felt no different than kicking a tiger’s a̲s̲s̲ while anticipating a deadly duel with it, only to see the tiger taking off his own skin and revealed a sheep that whispered into her ears seductively: “Come play with me, master~”

Cornelia nearly spat out blood along with her heart. She revealed her trump card and was prepared to have a showdown with him, only to be invited out to dinner? Not only that, he made it sound like he had intentions to ‘deepen’ their bonds after dinner.

Cornelia shuddered in disgust.

Rather than sticking a fist in cotton, it was more like she stuck her fist into a pile of s̲h̲i̲t̲. Not only was it pointless, she even got s̲h̲i̲t̲ all over herself.

“Why, my dear? You don’t want to?”

It was hard to imagine, but Cornelia could see the ‘sad’ expression on that huge and ferocious face.

“If that is the case, then I won’t force you… But I do feel that we can start off with getting to know each other, right…?” The golden dragon grinned. “So, what are your body measurements?”

“Gramps… That’s sexual… harassment…”

Lilith couldn’t stand watching any longer and interrupted the golden dragon. “I summoned you to help me fight. What are you thinking, trying to hook up with the enemy?” she facepalmed.

“WHAT?!”

Gerald, the golden dragon, turned his head and glared at Lilith when he heard her.

“Y-You rebellious great-great-great-great-great-great-…great-great-granddaughter of mine! What are you talking about?! A gentleman like myself would never harm a beauty!”

“Didn’t you call her an insect just now…?”

“Hmph, anyone can have blurry eyes after waking up. I didn’t look at her face and figure just now, so it’s only normal to mistake her as an insect!”

“No, it’s not! And you actually identify an insect by its face and figure?”

The moment the ancient blood in her body boiled and summoned the phantom of the ancestor, Lilith was freed from the black feathers that bound her. Yet, she wished that it didn’t happen. Because then she could pretend to see and hear nothing, instead of being stuck in this predicament.

“My descendant, you are still too naive. This is a harsh world. If you weren’t cute, do you think I would make you my successor?”

“…..”

That was… indeed harsh.

“Alright, please help me chase the enemy away, gramps. I have other important matters to attend to.”

Gerald shot a glance at Lilith and muttered, “So you chasing your wife is important but not me chasing mine?”

Lilith unexpectedly flushed for the first time. “Wife? What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Haha, I know all about it… Fine, I’ll leave it like that…”

Gerald turned his head and muttered so softly that his remarks were barely audible to anyone present on the scene.

“You may get pleasure from displeasing your wife, but you will feel great pain when coaxing her. You won’t learn this without a teacher. I don’t even want to admit that an embarrassment like you are my descendant in front of my old friends…”

“YOU! You’re the embarrassing one!”

“Me? My descendant, it seems like you are not aware of my amazing reputation among the gentlemen in this world. No one doesn’t know Gerald’s Chick Hooking Claw!”

Gerald turned his chin to the sky, seemingly very proud of himself.

“…..”

Lilith’s cheek twitched as she found herself at a loss for words.

“If you think I am an embarrassment, I will let you witness how I use my amazing claws to conquer the little beauty. I’ll turn foes to friends, hardened battle maidens into soft-spoken beauties. Who knows, you may even have another great grandmother…”

Gerald turned his attention to Cornelia again and spoke gently, “Let’s continue… What are your measurement sizes…”

“Piss off.”

Gerald grinned awkwardly at the rejection.

“Well if that question was too personal for you, let’s change the topic… Maybe you can tell me which color you prefer your panties to be? Black, white, purple, blue? If I may be so bold as to suggest transparent ones for you… I guarantee…”

“PISS OFF!”

“…Hey, calm down… If you don’t like panties then we can talk about something you like. Ah yes, do you like transparent bikinis? I got one by accident when I was traveling the world. With your figure, I’m sure it will definitely look good on you…”

“F̲U̲C̲K̲ OFF!!” Cornelia’s eyes turned icy. The reverence in her eyes had completely changed into contempt. “F̲u̲c̲k̲ off, you disgusting pervert!”
