King of Titans and Dragons
Chapter 196 - 196 191 The Rogue

Chapter 196: Chapter 191: The Rogue Chapter 196: Chapter 191: The Rogue In the early morning, a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old was hovering half a meter above the ground, flying over the streets of Valiant. He looked curiously at everything around him. As he passed by, all the humans who saw him showed a reverent expression, giving way to him.

Many humans knelt in worship when they saw Muria, exclaiming in admiration, “Lord Golden Dragon!”

When the boy saw this, he just inclined his head slightly and then flew by with a calm look on his face. He was not at all perturbed by the act of others kneeling before him. On the contrary, he was quite used to other creatures showing him a submissive posture.

After Muria flew away, those humans who saw him incline his head towards them were overjoyed as they got up from the ground, then wore smug expressions as they began to brag to those around them.

“Lord Golden Dragon just nodded at me!”

“Why are you so proud? His Excellency just responded to me too.”

“Truly he is the kind and strong Gold Dragon from legends. So benevolent.”

“So benevolent! Such a powerful entity deigned to glance at us.”

…

Hearing the discussions behind him as he flew by, Muria showed a helpless smile. He was now a well-known figure in Valiant.

Yesterday, Kaslana, the Golden Dragon Sister, found him. They had caused quite the commotion flying over the city while on their way to visit the ruins of Marquis Mendoza’s castle, and many city residents saw them. Nevertheless, that wasn’t the main reason behind Muria’s fame in the city.

What truly skyrocketed Muria’s reputation was the incident of Kaslana forcing a high priest of the Dawn Church to receive him and causing the Red-clothed Grand Archbishop, Felix, to apologize to him.

In the temple district of Valiant, the temple of the God of Dawn was still the largest one. When Kaslana took Muria there, forcing the Red-clothed Grand Archbishop out, it attracted the attention of all the churches in the vicinity and the citizens who came to the temple district to pray.

The sight of the Grand Archbishop clad in bright red robes, bowing to apologize to a young boy hovering in the void, shocked everyone. After that, the existence of Muria spread rapidly throughout the city, becoming known by virtually everyone.

This boy was a significant figure, even capable of making the Red-clothed Grand Archbishop of the Dawn Church bow down. Every person who saw this scene defined Muria’s identity for themselves.

Due to his distinct appearance, even those who only heard a simple description could recognize him instantly. A handsome young boy with black hair, golden pupils, wearing a black robe, and capable of flight…it was far too easy to identify him.

Upon hearing these discussions, Muria couldn’t help but recall yesterday’s events. In the end, he avoided the Red-clothed Grand Archbishop’s apology. After all, he was partly responsible, so he didn’t accept the apology nor allowed the Grand Archbishop to apologize any further.

However, Kaslana was still unsatisfied. In the end, Grand Archbishop Felix proposed to express the Dawn Church’s apology with material compensation. The Golden Dragon Sister agreed without hesitation.

Treasure is the best way to pacify a dragon’s fury, with no exceptions.

The compensatory goods offered by the Dawn Church weren’t ordinary metals held precious by common humans like gold and silver. Who would be amused being compensated with such useless objects?

For beings above the level of SouI Intent, the currency they used was various elemental energy crystals, not gold, silver, or gems, which only served as decoration for them.

Therefore, the compensation of the Dawn Church was fifty Fire Elemental Energy Crystals. These crystals were now lying within Muria’s space ring. Kaslana, who helped him get this compensation, didn’t ask for a single crystal.

In her words, helping the offspring of her worshipped deity and taking care of a little brother from the same race were things she was supposed to do. Most importantly, Kaslana wanted a cute dragon baby…

Thinking back on yesterday’s events, Muria now fully understood just how influential a golden dragon could be, especially one with a prominent background and considerable strength, in a human kingdom.

The Metallic Dragon Clan, due to their sparse numbers, were therefore especially united. Offending one dragon meant offending the entire group.

A group of metallic dragons, whose average strength surpasses the Five-Color Dragon Clan, poses a serious concern for anyone considering opposing them.

Just as Muria was pondering the status of metallic dragons within human kingdoms, piercing screams from women and anger-filled shouts from men began resonating from the end of the street.

“Ah, a hooligan…”

“Ah, so handsome…”

“This physique, I’m drooling.”

“Scoundrel!”

“Shameless bastard.”

“Where did this jerk come from?”

…

Muria lifted his gaze towards the commotion. A scene that was hard not to wince at unfurled before his eyes. A handsome man sporting flowing khaki hair and a perfectly trimmed black beard was barreling towards Muria, his bare feet slapping loudly against the pavement.

As he passed by, young women covered their eyes and screamed, while men shouted angrily at him.

After their screams, some of the adolescent girls sneakily peeked through their fingers at under the guise of shielding their eyes, taking in the handsome man who seemed to be on the run.

Mature women brazenly ogled him, their faces flushed with fascination – much to the anger of their husbands, who cast angry chastising words at him…

The good-looking man with the chiseled beard was completely bare from the waist up; his muscular chest and eight-pack abs in full view for all to see, accentuating his strong physique.

As for his lower body, he had wrapped around a white bedsheets, bearing mottled markings. As he sprinted, his sculpted legs disappeared and reappeared under the sheet, suggesting nothing else was worn beneath it.

“Excuse me, lad. Could you please move aside? My son is about to catch up to me.” The man, in the midst of his streaking, saw Muria standing mid-air and, rather than displaying surprise, urgently yelled out to him as if Muria was just a regular boy obstructing his path.

“Hmph!” Muria’s face darkened. He had never seen such a reckless and unabashed individual in all his time in this world. Daring to streak in broad daylight – not many had the audacity to do such a thing even in his former world, where the people were much more liberal.

“Crackle!” Muria extended his hand, arcs of golden light dancing in his palm. Just as he was about to reprimand the wayward man for disturbing public order, there was a loud whistling sound from above.

From the sky came an incoming missile sound that only grew louder and louder, swiftly approaching his current location. It was not aimed at him, but the streaking middle-aged man.

“Boom!” A large stone cylinder flew out from the sky, traced an elegant parabolic arc in the air, and slammed directly onto the streaking middle-aged man.

“Ah!” Under Muria’s speechless gaze, the man let out a “painful” scream and was immediately driven into the cobblestone pavement by the stone cylinder until only his bare legs remained visible outside.
