The five Dragons devoured their food quickly, while frantically absorbing the golden energy around them. Three-tenths of the golden energy permeating Old Town Wharf was absorbed by them.
Perhaps their early birth was due to the energy burst from the underground space of Oldtown. Therefore, the golden energy they absorbed per unit of time was not inferior to that of Amoros and the other adult Dragons.
By the time they had devoured the sea monster's remains like a whirlwind, the golden Dragons had already grown to over a meter, which was almost comparable to the growth rate of ordinary Dragons in several months.
The other Dragons were all similar, with even the smallest white Dragon nearly reaching one meter in size. Their scales were much harder than those of Dragons of similar size, and their Dragon Wings had inherited good genes from their mother, being significantly larger in proportion to their body length than those of ordinary Dragons.
This greatly enhanced their future flight and flexibility. Moreover, the Dragon Claws on their Dragon Wings were about to evolve to five digits, indicating their bloodline was nearing the highest level of bipedal Dragons.
With renewed bloodline, speed, and combat power, Amoros quickly succeeded in hunting down a sea monster whose body had largely recovered.
The energy contained within these surviving sea monsters was several times greater than before, so after Amoros ate most of the sea monster's head, her ravenous hunger significantly diminished.
When she brought the remaining sea monster carcass back to her young, she found that they had already devoured the small portion of sea monster from before. They were now staring eagerly at the new sea monster Amoros had brought back!
Amoros quickly tore the sea monster's body into pieces small enough for the young to consume. Because the Dragons were now much larger, it was easier for Amoros to tear the meat.
Meanwhile, the ugly monster in Old Town Bay, controlled by the golden hoop, had shrunk to only a dozen meters in size. Its appearance had completely changed, transforming into a large squid covered in eyes. Its dozens of huge tentacles had all detached from its body.
However, the golden light on the golden hoop had also receded, forming an ordinary golden ring that seemed to be growing on the head of the large squid.
The large squid, already terrified, ignored everything else and darted into the water, preparing to escape this terrifying place.
However, Antros, who had just dealt with a recovered sea monster, transformed into a bronze-colored phantom and instantly shot above the large squid. Then, her sharp claws violently grabbed it, effortlessly pulling it out of the water.
Antros's sharp Dragon Claws immediately tore a huge gash in its body, and her scorching golden Dragonflame instantly engulfed the large squid.
"Screech ~ Gaa ~"
This action by Antros caused the large squid to howl in pain, and then it suddenly spewed out a stream of pitch-black, foul-smelling liquid from its body. Antros, caught off guard, instantly released her Dragon Claws, but still managed to tear off a small portion of the large squid's body, which had many protruding large eyes staring with fear.
Antros roasted this part of the body with a breath of Dragonflame and quickly swallowed it.
The large squid, falling into the sea, desperately fled towards the seabed, and a large amount of black liquid instantly spread across the sea surface, making it impossible for Antros to find its trace for a while, so she had no choice but to let it escape.
Meanwhile, the severely wounded Simoros laboriously dragged her heavy body to the ruins of another watchtower. At this moment, the five vortices in her abdomen frantically pulled the golden energy permeating near Old Town Wharf, almost five-tenths of it being drawn to her.
And poor Aposos had already fallen into a coma due to severe injuries, on the verge of sinking into the sea. Seeing this, Antros quickly flew over and desperately pulled him to the beach of the wharf.
"Woo Gaa ~"
Antros repeatedly nudged Aposos with her head, trying to wake him from his coma, but it was in vain. Although the dense golden energy had stopped the bleeding from his wound, and the huge wound was continuously healing, Antros could still clearly sense that his life fire was still diminishing.
"Woo Gaa ~"
Feeling her companion's life rapidly fading, Antros couldn't help but let out a mournful Dragon roar.
This made Amoros also stop feeding her children and stared blankly in Antros's direction, then joined in with a sad wail.
"Woo Hiss Gaa ~"
At this moment, Simoros could no longer pay attention to Aposos and the others, because her own life was also nearing its end. However, what finally brought her comfort was that with the help of a massive amount of golden energy, the Dragon Eggs in her belly had completely formed.
With her last strength, Simoros laid seven scarlet Dragon Eggs. After these Dragon Eggs were born, they immediately emitted an even stronger pulling force, drawing all the golden energy from the entire Old Town Wharf area.
At Old Town Wharf at this time, besides the tragic Dragon roars of Antros and Amoros, it suddenly became quiet. The black clouds, like a city under siege, had also dispersed, and the turbid gray seawater slowly began to return to its clear blue.
Rogge quickly led the guards out of the underground space to check the situation, but what greeted their eyes was a scene of apocalypse.
From the center of Oldtown to the wharf, it had been completely reduced to ruins. The wharf town and countryside were almost entirely destroyed, with only unburnt Wildfire still emitting a ghastly green light.
However, what made Rogge's eyes burn with anger was that Dragon Aposos had clearly lost all signs of life. No matter how Antros called out to him, he would not awaken. And Simoros, after letting out a high-pitched and unwilling wail, also completely closed her eyes.
But what Rogge could not see was that as the golden energy converged towards the seven red Dragon Eggs, a Dragon-like soul body surprisingly emerged from Aposos's body and, along with the golden energy, was injected into one of the Dragon Eggs.
Shortly after Simoros closed her eyes, a similar Dragon Soul also appeared within her body and quickly merged into another Dragon Egg.
"Crack ~"
As the two Dragon Souls completely merged into the Dragon Eggs, the Dragon Egg into which Aposos's soul had been injected actually cracked open, and a Dragon that looked remarkably similar to Aposos joyfully crawled out.
This Dragon, apart from having five Dragon Claws on its Dragon Wings, was almost indistinguishable from the deceased Aposos. It was already covered in soft spikes upon birth.
And not long after, another Dragon Egg hatched. What emerged was a red Dragon almost identical to the large-headed Dragon Simoros. However, this Dragon's Dragon Wings also had five digits, indicating its bloodline clearly surpassed Simoros's.
Life and death, rise and fall, perhaps this is another form of their rebirth!
