Chapter 294 One Thousand Years Later

As the guardian of the gate to the underworld, Haro has always adhered to his duties and never let the living pass through the first gate of the underworld.

An uninvited guest came this day.

The visitor was a young and strong red dragon. It looked down at Haro who was guarding the gate and said contemptuously: "Open the door, guard, I want to go in."

Haro said in a businesslike manner: "The gate to the underworld, the living are not allowed to enter."

"How dare you!"

The red dragon was as arrogant and unruly as most dragons. It immediately scolded Haro: "You stupid little dog, you'd better open the door for me. Uncle Kataruo is going to visit the titled gods on the Styx on behalf of the dragon clan. You'd better not cause trouble for yourself."

Haro repeated what he said before

"Damn it! Are you provoking the dragon clan?"

"If you have a spell to pass, please show it. If not, the door cannot be opened."

The red dragon was furious and cursed, calling Haro "a stupid dog with three uncoordinated heads."

Haro was not to be outdone and mocked Kataro as a "red leaky lizard".

Both sides were hit in the sore spot and immediately started to spit at each other.

However, since it was an important place in the underworld, both the red dragon and Haro maintained basic restraint and did not fight on the spot.

But both sides were determined to teach each other a lesson.

"Leaky dragon, do you dare to fight me?"

"Ridiculous three-headed dog, would you foolishly challenge a powerful dragon? Since you want to die, I will satisfy you and send you back to the Styx with my own hands."

Both sides swore by the God of the Underworld and the Dragon Tomb, and agreed to fight to the death in a third world.

The duel site could not be within the power range of the dragon clan, nor could it be controlled by the underworld to ensure fairness.

In the end, they fought in a desolate gravel world.

In this battle, Haro defeated the red dragon and knocked off the dragon horn on its left forehead.

Haro won and felt refreshed.

The red dragon refused to accept the defeat. It said that it had traveled a long distance to the underworld and encountered several sneak attackers along the way. It was not in a complete state, but was fighting with injuries.

Harrow said, "Not convinced? Then I will beat you until you accept it!"

They used a special prop [Time Shell] to unify the time. At that time, a whistling sound came from the shell, which meant that the time had come.

The second battle took place a hundred years later, and the two sides came to another world to fight as agreed.

This time, Harrow was defeated miserably, and one of his heads was smashed.

In addition to the fact that the red dragon Kataruo was indeed very strong, another reason was that Kataruo brought the "Dragon Thorn Scale Helmet". This powerful equipment covered its entire body, greatly increased its defense, and also came with dragon spell damage.

Harrow lost with his bare hands.

About five hundred years later, the decisive third battle began.

This time, Harrow gathered his strength and borrowed the prop "Hell Eye" from the title god and integrated it into its second head.

With the invitation of lethal weapons, Harrow regained the upper hand. However, the Hell Eye was summoned away by its master, the "Hundred-armed Giant", at a critical moment, causing the second head to explode on the spot, and ultimately failed.

Halo, who lost his head one after another, was completely desperate.

The red dragon Kataruo proposed: "Two more games, five to three. No one is allowed to bring anything, and the winner will be decided by flesh and blood."

Halo couldn't refuse.

The fourth battle was nine hundred years later.

Halo won this battle easily, but it couldn't be happy.

Because He could clearly sense that the red dragon was much weaker than before. It looked exhausted, and its heavy body no longer had the power to be unleashed, but instead became a burden for the red dragon to fly and move.

There was no sense of accomplishment in defeating a weak Kataruo.

Halo had heard some rumors.

There were also rumors inside Cerberus that the dragon clan had a problem, the Dragon Lodge was closing, and many places could no longer enter the Dragon Lodge.

All dragons were rapidly weakening, and the stranded dragons could not return to the Dragon Lodge, so they could only hide and sleep everywhere.

All kinds of dragons disappeared at once.

"Losing is losing, there is nothing to say. As for the internal affairs of the dragon clan, I have nothing to say."

Cataro's attitude was as cold and hard as ever.

The last battle was scheduled in the human world.

The time was a thousand years later.

Cataro said: "I need time. The dragon clan still has official business to deal with. I have my responsibilities, just like you guarding the gate of the underworld. I will arrive on time."

"If I don't arrive, there is only one reason, that is, I am dead."

"You should have killed me in the first duel, and now you will lose this opportunity forever."

Cataro said proudly: "Cherish your last thousand years. In the last battle, I will smash your three heads, break your neck, and send your ghost back to the Styx."

Haro also told the other party: "If I win, I will collect your body and let everyone I know know that the red dragon Cataro died in my hands."

The two sides said goodbye.

Haro returned to the underworld and continued to guard the gate. The loss of two heads caused serious damage to his body and it was very slow to recover.

A thousand years later, Harrow arrived in the human world on time.

He had been here twice on business in the past.

Today's human beings have changed dramatically. They no longer live by the mountains and rivers. They have built a large number of cities, and many strange things have appeared in the world.

Harrow did not want to cause trouble, nor did he want to be noticed by human navigators.

He just waited and searched quietly.

Harrow was sure that the red dragon Kataruo would come.

Kataro is a proud and arrogant dragon. It not only wants to win, but also wants to win in the way it wants.

This wait lasted for hundreds of years.

In the past hundred years, Harrow saw humans constantly killing each other, and wars spread across lands like an infectious disease. Various human inventions have emerged one after another, and human individuals, cities and villages, land and sea have undergone dazzling changes.

Harrow only cares about when the red dragon will come.

It walks on the streets of the city, passes through the grass and hills in the suburbs, and drills into the trickles of streams and oceans. On the island, it distinguishes the smell left by the dragon from the bird droppings and soil. In the desert, it gnaws bones and rotten things, searching for traces of the dragon's existence...

One day not long ago, it met Shen Cong.

This dragon constellation told Harrow that the red dragon would not come. The Jiuhe Pillar, which served as a passage here, has been destroyed, and Longxu has also closed the passage to the outside.

But Harrow disagreed.

Because it relied on the [Hunter's Secret] to find the scent of the red dragon Kataro in many places.

The scent of the red dragon spread widely, on the bones and pottery displayed in the city museum, in the mineral layers and pottery jars under the desert, in the thick ice of the Himalayas, in the silt under the Dead Sea lakebed... the red dragon seemed to be evenly scattered throughout the world.

Harrow thought that the red dragon Kataruo was probably dead.

It died before he came over.

Does this count as his win?

Harrow didn't know.

He always remembered what the red dragon said.

- You should have killed me in the first duel, and now you will lose this opportunity forever.

Harrow still wandered and lingered in the human world.

The dragon race is a powerful race with extraordinary talents. Even many years after death, their bones can retain most of the dragon's power and smell.

Harrow will fulfill his promise and piece together the red dragon's body and take it away.

This is respect for the duel opponent.

...

After listening to Haro's statement, Lu Yao was silent for a while: "Is there a possibility that the soul and bones of the red dragon have been found and collected by other sailors?"

"..."

Haro's eyes slowly widened.

"I'm just saying a possibility, don't worry about it."

Lu Yao quickly changed the subject: "Well, Cancong asked you to come to me..."

The pirate dog was in a downtime state, his eyes were blank, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
