Chapter 9
Speed Acceleration
After hearing Garen’s threat, Hill revealed a hesitant expression. Clearly, he was thinking about what choice to make.
At the same time, Garen, who was on the ice and snow, had already let go of the two pitiful dragon brothers. He said to Hill, “I’m going to count to three. If you still don’t decide, I’ll fly up and beat you up.”
In the next second, while Hill was still hesitating, Garen’s dragon mouth grinned.
“Three!”
Boom!
As the dragon wings shook, Garen took a deep breath and soared into the sky at an extremely fast speed. Before Hill could react, he had already flown in front of her. He raised his huge head forcefully and smashed it down on Hill’s small and exquisite head.
Ordinary baby dragons definitely did not have Garen’s flying speed.
In fact, even he had only just discovered it.
When he was highly focused, the flow of time around him seemed to have changed slightly. The speed of his actions seemed to have increased, and it was extremely fast and agile as if he was in a state of acceleration.
Ding!
The visor that was like a mirror collided. Hill held her head and was sent flying a few meters. She cried out in pain and shouted, “You said you’d move after counting to three. You’re cheating!”
Garen chased after her and beat up the dragon sister. He said, “Yes, I only moved when I reached three. What’s wrong?”
A few minutes later, the dragon sister was also pressed to the snow by Garen. She rolled over and begged for mercy, tacitly agreeing to his status as the boss.
“These baby dragons won’t listen if I don’t beat them up.”
Garen stretched his muscles. Hill, Charles, and Tom, the three bruised and swollen dragons, looked at each other and saw the gloating in each other’s eyes.
However, when they saw the reflection of their appearance on Garen’s armor, they could not help but glare at him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After three punches, Garen shook his dragon claws that were clenched into fists and said, “If you keep staring, I’ll twist your head.”
The three little dragons shrunk their necks and did not dare to look at Garen.
The proud and arrogant baby dragons were almost fearless. Only violent methods could subdue them.
Garen hummed a small tune and suddenly felt that his dragon life seemed to be very good. The evil dragon’s casual personality of honoring strength deeply satisfied him.
A total of four baby dragons spread their wings and soared in the area a kilometer away from the dragon nest. They gradually scattered and searched for prey in their vision.
In the territory of the White Dragon Mother with the Ice Cliff Dragon Nest as the center, powerful magical creatures or large beasts like dinosaurs or ferocious beasts were expelled and killed by the White Dragon Mother or taken in as servants.
The closer they were to the dragon’s nest, the safer it was.
If not for being too unlucky, baby dragons were usually not killed near the Dragon Mother’s dragon nest.
Soon, Garen’s eyes lit up and he saw a fox wolf.
Fox wolves were not magical creatures, but beasts at the bottom of the food chain. Young dragons could easily crush them.
He flapped his wings and dived, extending his dragon claws to grab the fox wolf.
When Garen was highly focused, the feeling of the surrounding time flowing faster came again, and the speed increased suddenly.
The fox wolf had just felt the aura of a predator. Before it could enter the snow, it was grabbed by Garen’s dragon claw and its neck was broken.
This fox wolf was similar to a normal wolf in size and was about 1.5 meters long. After Garen ate it, the hunger in his stomach decreased greatly.
However, he still felt hungry.
Because it was the high-speed stage of growing, the baby dragon’s digestive ability was very strong, and it was also hungry very quickly.
However, he was not in a hurry to continue looking for prey. Instead, he pondered over his ability.
After a week of sleep, other than allowing Garen to grow larger, it also gave him an ability similar to time acceralation.
This ability seemed to be passive. Garen did not understand the exact principle. He only confirmed that after his mind was highly focused, he would obtain an approximate 50% acceleration.
It was not just to increase his movement speed.
It was because the speed of time flow had increased on Garen’s body, causing his overall speed to increase by 50%, including his attack speed, dodge speed, reaction speed, and so on.
As for the Time Dragon Reversal that he had unintentionally used last time, Garen wanted to take the initiative to use it to borrow time from the future.
However, after trying a few times, there was no result.
According to his few attempts, he suspected that it was not that he could not use it, but that his future self was too stingy and was unwilling to lend it.
“Forget about the Time Dragon Reversal. Let’s study this time acceleration ability thoroughly.”
With this in mind, Garen moved. As he searched for prey, he tested his newly obtained ability.
Just like that, half a day passed. Logically speaking, it was night, but the sky did not change at all.
This was caused by the unique geographical environment of the Northern Ice Fields. Here, the cycle of day and night was different. They alternated in intervals of six months, which was half a year.
Half a year was extremely bright, and the sky was always sunny.
For the other half a year, the sky was forever dark.
It was currently bright.
Garen looked a little tired. He landed on the icefield covered in snow and pressed out a faint dragon-shaped depression. At the same time, his eyes were filled with thought.
“The limit of the acceleration effect is double the original speed, and I can even take the initiative to control it.”
“I’ve used it many times in a short period of time. I don’t feel anything in my body, but I’m mentally exhausted. I feel the exhaustion of staying up all night as a human. My head will become dizzy.”
“I can only accelerate myself and not slow people down.”
After roughly figuring out the effect of this ability, Garen thought for a moment and planned to name it.
However, before he could think, a name appeared in Garen’s mind through the inheritance memory.
Time Manipulation.
Garen was speechless.
“It’s called Time Manipulation, but why can it only accelerate myself?”
He originally wanted to name it Time Acceleration, but since this ability already had a fixed name, he did not plan to change it.
Time Manipulation could only be used to accelerate, and the limit was only double. It was probably because he had just grasped it. In the future, he might be able to achieve an effect that matched this name.
The current Garen was no longer hungry. With the acceleration ability of Time Manipulation, he had hunted a lot of food.
Although most of the creatures living in this cold area were alert and vigilant, and even ordinary beasts could discover Garen’s aura, they could not escape from his pursuit.
Without staying for long, Garen flew towards the dragon’s nest not far away.
Before he arrived at the dragon nest, he saw two dragon brothers and a dragon sister. They were all dejected as if they had been dealt a blow.
After seeing Garen, Hill took the initiative to ask, “Garen, how many have you caught?”
Garen frowned slightly and said, “Do you want to be beaten up? Call me Brother Garen.”
Hill was a little indignant, but she still called out to Garen weakly. Only then did Garen answer in satisfaction, “Not many, just more than ten. There are only wild beasts like fox wolves, white-haired tigers, and cold leopards.”
“About ten?” Charles’s eyes widened.
“You must be joking.” Tom was in disbelief.
When Garen heard this, he knew why these little dragons were a little dejected.
They probably did not catch much prey so they felt angry and hungry.
However, Garen felt that hunting was quite simple. Although these baby dragons had just been born, they had the strength to tear apart tigers and leopards alive. Why could they not catch these prey?
Garen was a little puzzled.
Coincidentally, a white python stuck its head out of the snow and was seen by Hill.
Hill’s eyes lit up. She immediately flapped her wings and accelerated, wanting to grab the white python from the air.
However, before she could approach, almost the moment Hill moved, the white python darted into the snow like a frightened rabbit and disappeared.
