Chapter 111: The Earth Dragon - Part 2: Authority

'Is this the end for me?', Shin asked himself.

He could see the gigantic mouth of the dragon rushing towards him. The teeth were so sharp that it was almost sure that Shin could get torn into shreds if he were to get caught by something like that.

The situation was no joke, he was basically looking at death!

At this instant, his mind started working ten times faster. Yes, as exaggerated it may sound, his thought process had become that quick!

But no matter how much he thought about it in that split second, there was nothing he could do. Even though his mind had become fast, his body was still in the same place.

'Run away!', his inner voice was being heard by him but no matter how fast he thought, his body just refused to listen to him.

'Dammit…'

'Am I really going to die like this?'

'I don't even know if Aella is fine…'

'I don't even know about her location…'

"…"

'I have too less MP to even use any skills even if I somehow survive his attack…'

'Is it just better to die?', he asked himself.

Those tons of thoughts took over his head. 

What could he do anyway?

Even if he got lucky, he wouldn't possibly be able to face the almighty dragon!

Maybe he could summon one for himself and fight using that, however that was only possible earlier.

At the moment, all his active skills were locked so he could neither summon anyone nor use any skill to run away.

As a result of the locking, he couldn't even transform into something.

The strongest transform that he had with him was the Flame Wolf Emperor. It was called an emperor for a reason – its flames were way too overwhelming.

Even the strongest flames in the world wouldn't have any effect on him.

He could use that transformation to at least do something against the dragon, unfortunately, the transformation skill was locked too since that was an active skill!

'Just how powerful is this dragon?'

Up until now, all the summons that Shin had confronted with were dragons of strong order but they weren't as strong as the one standing in front of him.

'Just what kind of dragon is this?'

'It is capable of locking all my skills with just its roar?', Shin asked himself.

'Damn…'

'Is this where I die?'

'The Lian Plains?', and while these thoughts returned and filled Shin's mind, his thought-process started to slow down.

Shin closed his eyes as if he was giving up, but from his inside, he was struggling till the very end.

.

.

.

"Huh?"

A few seconds passed by and Shin who had his eyes closed opened them slowly.

"Wha-", when Shin wanted to ask what was happening, the dragon ended up asking that in a louder yet shaky voice probably because of confusion and astonishment.

"What is happened?"

"Why can't I move?"

It couldn't even move its mouth but was still able to produce perfect sound – it was a dragon after all.

And what he saw in front of him shocked him completely.

The dragon that was attacking him was paralyzed!

"The heck!?", Shin was the one who was paralyzed.

It was him who was immobile for quite some time and it stood true even now but only until he received a notification.

'Ding'

[ You have gained the passive skill Paralysis Resistance Lv.1 ]

[ Paralysis up to Lv.3 will have no effect on you ]

[ Paralysis due to all other side boosts of an attack will be nullified ]

If the dragon had an original paralyzing skill, then it would have definitely been above level 3.

With this Shin should have never been able to break free from the paralysis effect, but seeing that it was a side effect or an extra effect of the skill Roar, he was freed from it instantly!

But that was not the biggest question at the moment, the real matter was that the dragon was paralyzed at the moment.

To be precise, it couldn't move all of a sudden.

"Huh…?"

And only then did Shin realize something which shocked him completely.

'Ding'

"…"

"This…"

"Is…"

"Insane!", Shin shouted and then burst into laughter.

The reason for that was the next notification that popped up.

'Ding'

[ New rows have been created ]

[ Speed: 548+3 || Max. Speed: ??? ]

[ Int: 95+3 || Max. Int: ??? ]

"…"

Basically, the great dragon that was in front of him, was now his slave!

The reason was simple, it was his slave because it had no name associated with it!

Perhaps there were many dragons out there who never thought about getting a name, and perhaps the dragon realized how important it was to have a name!

Of course, the mark on its head was replaced with another symbol – a white wolf's mark!

Although the mark was only of the head, it seemed as if it was surrounded with some sort of aura. Yes, that was Shin's head while being covered with aura.

The mark seemed like a triangle sticker.

Why triangle? Probably because the dragon had a triangular sticker earlier!

'Awesome, even with his power reduced by half, he was still able to lock all my skills…', was what Shin said to himself.

Shin then walked a step closer showing that he wasn't paralyzed anymore.

Then he looked at the dragon's eyes and glared at him!

The dragon realized that something had changed. Of course, the symbol on his forehead was completely different which he felt a second ago.

After that when it noticed the fact that he couldn't attack, he finally understood what was going on.

"No way…"

"I…"

"A slave of such a weakling!?", he raised his voice.

The paralysis effect on the dragon was only for a moment. Every time he tried to attack Shin, he would stop moving for five seconds as it was told by the system.

"So, you want me to pay price for entering my own territory?", Shin asked.

The dragon was temporarily the ruler of the swamps. It was probably this dragon that had chased the previous swamp ruler away.

Such bonus effects might have not helped the previous ruler.

But yes, the dragon still roared at Shin and this made him sure that the dragon had attacked him in some or the other way.

'The system said the nameless ones will become my slave and that really was true.'

'But why was it able to attack me earlier?'

'Also, what about other beings that I passed by?'

Of course, they never attacked him so it made sense that they didn't turn into his slaves but surely they had a lower position when compared to him.

'Ding'

[ The effect of title wears off if the host's fear increases against a certain degree (50) ]

[ Fear: 47/100 ] [ Host ]

The system then displayed Shin's fear and clarified that the title wasn't effective or was less effective against the dragon because Shin was engulfed in fear when he encountered him

It was only then he knew why other rulers could be defeated by fiercer beasts!

Because Shin's fear was reduced because of his inner will, the title took a greater effect!
