A terrifying aura rushed towards Green, but he easily countered it with a wave of his hand.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a dragon inside."
Green chuckled, sounding quite interested.
Yuzuriha glanced at Green, who seemed excited, and quietly took a few steps back.
Soon, the door slowly opened from the inside, and accompanied by a blinding light, a humanoid creature emerged.
It wore dragon scale armor and its limbs did not resemble those of a human. As Green was puzzled, he saw the creature holding its hands in front of itself and then suddenly extending them.
In an instant, an overwhelming wave-like force engulfed them.
The creature's body turned into a golden light and transformed and expanded within the light. When the radiant light faded, a gigantic silver dragon appeared before them.
With its silvery scales and a faint golden glow, the silver dragon's presence instantly rose to a whole new level.
Green was surprised when he saw the true form of the silver dragon.
"It looks pretty cool, but I wonder how strong it is, and also..."
Green focused on the dragon scales on its body, which were shining and looked like they were embedded with countless gemstones.
The silver dragon seemed to sense that Green was not suspicious and immediately expelled a chill from its mouth, then astonishingly spoke like the golden dragon:
"No human has set foot in this place for hundreds of years. I hope your strength matches your attitude."
The voice of the silver dragon sounded full of wisdom, and Green guessed that it was probably in its mature years.
Green paid no attention to the words of the silver dragon; in any case, all he needed to do now was...
"Old man, can you give me a few of those shiny things on your body?"
"......? What are you talking about?"
"I mean the scales on your body."
As soon as these words were spoken, Green could clearly sense the anger emanating from the silver dragon, realizing that his words might have infuriated it.
"You brat! How dare you ask a dragon for dragon scales! Don't you know that dragon scales are as important to dragons as 'that thing' is to human males?"
"Uh... what thing?"
"You know, that thing."
"......"
Green understood what the silver dragon meant.
If that was the case, looking back at what he had just said, it was indeed quite creepy, and if he were a dragon, he would probably have attacked directly.
Indeed, the old uncle was calm and composed.
"Since that's the case, I can only take it by force."
In the end, it evolved into this situation.
Upon hearing Green's helpless tone, the silver dragon twitched in its heart, but its colossal dragon body did not stop moving. It flapped its wings behind its back and flew up into the sky, looking down on Green from above.
However, seeing the silver dragon's movement, Green was ready to release the source energy bullet in his hand. If the silver dragon dared to move, he would not hesitate to shoot it down.
But for some reason, the silver dragon suddenly stopped.
This left Green somewhat puzzled, but he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he immediately fired the source energy bullet at the silver dragon.
And what happened next truly shocked Green.
Although the white source energy bullet did not use much energy, its destructive power was not weak. However, when it struck the shimmering scales of the silver dragon, it didn't even cause a ripple.
More precisely, as soon as the source energy bullet made contact with the silver dragon's skin, it turned into energy fluctuations and was absorbed.
If the silver dragon could express emotions like a human, then at this moment, it would definitely be smiling with satisfaction.
Seeing Green's slight surprise, it felt triumphant. But just as it was feeling triumphant, it noticed that Green hadn't given up and was still gathering source energy to fire at it.
The silver dragon felt even happier when it saw this, but it soon realized that for every source energy it absorbed, two more would come rushing towards it, seemingly endless.
Finally, after absorbing dozens of source energy bullets, the silver dragon started to feel a bit overwhelmed.
"Hey!"
After Green shot out two more source energy bullets, the silver dragon finally stopped hovering in the air and quickly expanded a white force field around itself, effortlessly blocking the source energy bullets from Green.
Seeing the force field that the silver dragon had unleashed, Green's eyes widened in astonishment.
Green could clearly sense a faint scent of source energy coming from the silver dragon now, and there was no doubt that this source energy had been stolen from Green itself.
With this realization, a dangerous smile suddenly appeared on Green's face.
"Since you've taken so much from me, it's about time you give something back, don't you think?"
The silver dragon was puzzled by Green's words and was about to speak up to reprimand him for talking big, when it suddenly noticed that Green had disappeared right in front of its eyes.
It wasn't until Green's voice transmitted into its head that the silver dragon realized Green had somehow appeared on top of its head.
Looking down at the seemingly panicked silver dragon under its feet, Green smirked cunningly.
"Using my energy to exchange for your scales should be enough, don't you think?"
Although it sounded like a question, the silver dragon understood that it was a statement.
In an instant, its entire dragon body trembled violently, feeling a strong sense of crisis. It desperately released all the source energy it had absorbed in an attempt to ram Green off its head.
However, these energies were intentionally given by Green, so how could it just refuse them? Let alone use them to harm Green.
The result was obvious.
Green simply lightly stepped on the silver dragon, and the silver dragon felt an unstoppable force pushing it down towards the ground. Before it could adjust its posture in the air, it had already landed on the ground.
The colossal dragon body crashed onto the ground, right in front of Yuzuriha.
Hearing the dull thud that reached her ears, Yuzuriha looked at the fallen silver dragon with a hint of pity in her eyes. After all, she knew very well Green's power.
At the same time, the silver dragon also noticed Yuzuriha.
The dragon's face immediately changed, and its body emitted a glow once again, shrinking and returning to a height of about two meters. Green landed lightly on the ground.
To be honest, although the silver dragon's current posture was somewhat human-like, it still leaned more towards a dragon's stance.
At the same time, after shrinking, its appearance looked much more compact than before, at least it wouldn't be too embarrassing to be killed in this form.
However, after shrinking, the number of scales on the silver dragon naturally decreased.
"Hey, why did you suddenly stop? Can't you handle just one attack?"
Hearing Green's mocking voice, the silver dragon took a deep breath and calmed its mood.
"That's enough. I can feel the power within you, and having a young woman of the Dragonkin tribe as a companion is proof enough of your strength."
"Huh?"
Green was confused by the silver dragon's words. Did this have anything to do with Yuzuriha?
The silver dragon continued:
"Let's make a summoning contract. According to our tribe's rules, those who successfully challenge me are granted the opportunity to make a contract. After the summoning contract takes effect, you can summon me anytime in future battles."
Hearing the silver dragon's words, Green instantly recalled the scene of Azeral summoning the black dragon and tentatively asked:
"Do you know Azeral and a black dragon?"
"Azeral? I vaguely remember, but not very well... As for the black dragon, it is the weakest kind among our dragon race, both in terms of intelligence and personality, quite useless."
Seeing Green nodded in understanding, the Silver Dragon continued with a seductive voice:
"So, are you going to sign a contract with me and become a Dragon Summoner?"
"Forget it, I'm not interested in summoning you, you're too weak." Green's words were blunt, which made the Silver Dragon feel embarrassed, but Green quickly changed the topic and said:
"However, it is said that the scales on the Silver Dragon's body have medicinal value. Can you...?"
Upon hearing Green's words, the Silver Dragon instantly remembered something from hundreds of years ago. It trembled and hesitated, saying:
"Well..."
"It's no use refusing." Green's expression suddenly stiffened, and then he threatened in a nonchalant tone, instantly making the Silver Dragon feel chills from head to toe.
There was no choice but to accept Green's demands. Faced with someone like Green, he had to give in.
The Silver Dragon regained its enormous size and its scales suddenly turned into golden light, floating in front of Green as it lowered its head.
Green reached out his hand and the two pieces of golden light fell into his hand, then turned into translucent dragon scales that resembled crystals.
Looking at the Silver Dragon, although one couldn't discern any emotions from its face, the sorrowful aura emanating from its body was palpable. However, after a moment, the Silver Dragon regained its composure.
"Forget it, they can grow back anyway, but it's a shame for my handsomeness."
"..."
In the end, Green happily held the two extremely precious dragon scales for the Dragon Clan, and the Silver Dragon led him out of its territory.
Green and Yuzuriha found themselves once again on the platform, surrounded by numerous glowing orbs, and the golden dragon appeared in front of them once again.
"Congratulations, you two. To be able to conquer the proud Silver Dragon is truly a once-in-a-millennium event! By the way, the King wants to meet the two of you."
"The King?"
Only when they were led by the golden dragon to a sanctum did they see the pure white dragon with drifting white hair. Green suddenly realized that the King mentioned by the golden dragon referred to the King of the Dragons.
However, this white dragon seemed strangely familiar...
While Green was puzzled, the white dragon opened its previously closed eyes, emanating a powerful presence without anger. When it spoke, it felt as though the whole world had become ethereal.
"Welcome, honored guests who have come from afar. I am...the King of the Dragons."
