《Breeding Dragons From Today》Chapter 490: Intense Duels Without Using Both Hands!
Advertisement
"Human? Dragon? Why would such a strange combination appear in the Underworld?"
The hellhound could not understand. Its shrunken brain made it unable to think so much. It was born a war machine and, as its master's hound, it was destined to be unable to think deeply. Looking at the scene in front of it, it could not understand the situation.
"Hey, human, I advise you to mind your own business. Although my strength and ability are far inferior to yours, I advise you to think carefully about the master behind me!"
"Tsk tsk tsk. The puppy is quite fierce, huh?"
Joelson curled his lips and jumped down from the dragon's back. The cerberus instantly jumped back with vigilance.
This human... did not seem to be a threat...
But its biological instincts told it that this human's strength couldn't be measured by his appearance.
In fact, this human standing on the dragon's back might be even stronger than the giant dragon on the ground.
"How dare a disrespectful inferior creature be so disrespectful to Father. Father, do you need me to crush this inferior creature?"
"No, no, no, Hades, you can't rush things. In the end, the arrogant jester in front of you is just a jester. You have to remember, the jester is just a funny character after all. It still has the information we want."
"I've learned from you, Father."
Hades nodded respectfully.
"Little Dog, who is your master?"
With his hands behind his back, Joelson approached the hellhound without any threat.
"Hehe, I'm afraid of scaring you with who my master is. Are you sure you want to hear it?"
"Oh, of course, my little dog. If I have time, I would like to visit your master."
Joelson said with a smile, his expression was very kind.

"Hehe, listen well, weak human. My master's name is... ah ah ah ah!"
Suddenly, when he said the last sentence, the cerberus suddenly wailed in pain.
"I was wrong, my master, ah ah ah!"
The soul flame in the hellhound's head flickered and was extremely unstable. It was like a weak candle in a storm that would be extinguished by the terrifying storm.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahh!"
"F*ck...!"
With a crack, the body of the cerberus seemed to have been exploded by a bomb. It exploded into pieces. The soul flame floated in the air, looking very miserable.
Energy circulated under Joelson's feet, blowing away the remnants of his bones.
"I'm sorry, I've made a fool of myself!"
A skeleton wearing a black robe shouted from a high mountain.
"Oh... are you its master?"
Joelson shouted loudly.
"No, no, no..."
The black-robed skeleton jumped forward and jumped down the high mountain with a leap of faith.
"I'm not its master, and I wasn't the one who did it just now. That was the contract in its mind. As long as the king's name was mentioned, the contract would be erased. Its brain was not born to talk to people, and it killed itself. You must be joking."
The black-robed skeleton bowed and said respectfully.
"Oh, no, no, no, it's okay. We're not affected."
Joelson waved his hand, indicating that he did not care.
"That's good."
The black-robed skeleton nodded and changed the topic.
"I say, may i trouble this friend for a matter..."
"Oh, please go ahead."
Seeing how polite the other party was, Joelson immediately did not want to make things difficult for him.
"I would like to trouble the three friends to not interfere in the private affairs between our two races. Please be magnanimous and don't interfere."

The black-robed skeleton man said respectfully.
"Hahaha, of course, of course. Then can you tell me your master's name?"
Joelson was very generous and agreed to the other party's request very easily. However, the additional conditions immediately made the black-robed skeleton man embarrassed.
"This... I'm afraid it won't work?"
The black-robed skeleton helplessly shook his head.
"Why?"
Joelson asked in confusion.
"In my head, there is a contract like the Skeleton Hellhound."
The black-robed skeleton pointed at his head with a troubled expression.
"Ah... if that's the case, then it won't be easy to handle..."
Joelson pretended to be distressed.
Since Joelson was unable to get any useful information from this group of people, the hope of getting the information was all placed on that skeleton who was being pursued. He could not let the black-robed skeleton kill the other party so easily, he still had to see if he could get anything out of the mouth of the skeleton who was being pursued.
However, the other party was so polite. As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. He did not want to make things difficult for this person.
"How about this? Your level is also as high as a demigod's. Coincidentally, my level is also a demigod. I'll put my hands behind my back, and you can attack me. If I use my hands to resist or get knocked down by you, you can do whatever you want with this skeleton. But if I put my hands behind my back and dodge a hundred of your attacks, then you can stop chasing after this skeleton. How about that?"
With a smile on his face, Joelson made a suggestion that seemed to be very profitable.
As expected, the black-robed skeleton's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at the happy expression on Joelson's face.
Hahaha, wasn't it obvious that he wanted him to win?
This person had simply promised him that he would lose face, which was why he had come up with such a test that was almost certain to win. The black-robed skeleton instantly made a judgment of the situation.
"Alright, many thanks to this friend!"
The black-robed skeleton man bowed, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at the other party.
"It's over... It's over now..."
The skeleton man's heart instantly turned cold.
Joelson's meaning couldn't be any clearer. The other party clearly didn't intend to help him anymore.
With his hands behind his back, he couldn't use his hands to fight against someone of the same level. How was he supposed to fight?
This was a battle between experts of the lower god level. In a battle between people of such a high level, it would only take an instant for the victor to be decided. It was impossible for him to win without using both hands, and it was impossible for him to dodge even a hundred moves from the other party!
How was it possible for him to win? It was just that the other party didn't want to directly agree to the other party's delaying tactic, giving him a way out.
"Damn it... I thought I could be saved... but in the end, I still can't escape the fate of death..."
The skeleton man sat on the ground with a plop, the soul fire in his eyes dimming.
It was true... who was he? The other party had no need to offend an expert with the same strength as him for the sake of a nameless skeleton soldier.
Not to mention, the other party had a terrifyingly large family behind him. Offending such a terrifying force was definitely not going to end well.

8 278Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!
8 167NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

8 114Realm || A Game Of Thrones Fanfiction
'I think deep down inside, everyone likes to see themselves sitting on the Iron Throne. Some just refuse to listen to their desire for power. Others give in to it. And others let other people do the hard work for them. But no matter who you are or have become, no matter what your heart desires or how much power you would like to gain; we will all burn if we don't stand strong together.' || This is a Game of Thrones fanfiction. The story takes place somewhere at the start of season 7. This fanfiction does not follow the entire plot of the new season. Some characters are not where they should be according to the actual story. I do not own Game of Thrones, nor the characters. I do own Anthea Lannister and some other characters.||
