The young Ender Dragon was already capable of flight, and just like its adult counterparts, it could exhale dragon breath. However, what it produced was more like a sputter—a small, weak puff rather than a full blast.

As soon as the members of the Eternal Guild arrived, every player’s attention was instantly drawn to the Ender Dragon.

“Holy crap! Is this the ultimate weapon our boss mentioned?!!”

“Hiss… It’s a dragon?! Our guild tamed a freaking dragon?!”

“Whoa! This dragon looks freaking awesome!”

“Unreal. We managed to get our hands on a dragon! This means we’re going all-out against HIM!”

The Eternal Guild’s secrecy was impeccable, so even its members had no idea that Cang Long had tamed an Ender Dragon. While they might not grasp its status as the End dimension’s boss, anyone who played the game knew one thing: dragons held unmatched dominance.

Even though this particular Ender Dragon was smaller than an adult, it exuded an intimidating aura. Its black scales gleamed ominously, and its eyes glowed with a dark purple light. Despite still being in its adolescent phase, it had already begun to show the bearing of a true overlord.

At this moment, Tianheng couldn’t help but be impressed as he watched the dragon circling above. “So this is the ace in the hole the boss mentioned!”

Before seeing the Ender Dragon, Tianheng had been full of doubt. Now, those doubts had all but vanished. Although he wasn’t sure about the dragon’s full power, the fact that someone like Yonghui treated it as a trump card meant it was no ordinary beast.

Despite the long journey, Yonghui showed no signs of fatigue upon arrival. He immediately turned to Tianheng and issued an order. “Bring out that zombie. Let it spar with the Ender Dragon!”

Although the Ender Dragon was undoubtedly powerful, Yonghui still wasn’t certain whether a monster like HIM could injure it. That’s why he was so eager to test it in a fight.

At Yonghui’s command, Tianheng quickly instructed his subordinates to bring out 007. Only then did Yonghui and his crew see the zombie’s true form. Its skin was an ashen gray, its body bulky and muscular, and its eyes emitted a chilling red glow. In its hand, it held an iron sword.

The sword itself wasn’t strange, but the way 007 gripped it was peculiar. Unlike most people, who wielded swords with the blade facing forward, 007 held the blade pointed back, as if it were a dagger. It gave off a strangely menacing vibe.

While not particularly massive, 007 emanated an oppressive aura—like that of a minor demon lord. Seeing this, Yonghui nodded approvingly. “Not bad.”

Wasting no time, Yonghui signaled to Cang Long to bring the Ender Dragon down. The dragon flapped its massive wings, creating gusts of wind that forced nearby players to step back as it slowly descended. When it finally landed, 007 stood facing it from a distance. The zombie studied the dragon without a trace of fear, as if assessing its opponent.

This reaction took Yonghui by surprise. Normally, creatures of this tier should be terrified of dragons. Yet 007, despite its sentience, didn’t back down from such an imposing presence.

‘Interesting,’Yonghui thought. This monster was definitely exceptional.

His curiosity piqued, Yonghui eagerly awaited the confrontation between 007 and the Ender Dragon. Once he nodded his approval, Tianheng wasted no time in giving the order.

“Attack!”

In a blur of movement, 007 closed the distance with an astonishing burst of speed, leaping high into the air. As it reached the dragon’s head, it swung its sword toward the dragon’s eyes.

Yonghui’s eyes widened in shock. “Holy crap?! Stop, stop, STOP!!!”

He hadn’t expected 007 to target the dragon this way. Yonghui thought it would aim for the dragon’s body, but the zombie had quickly deduced its weakness and attacked its eyes. The move stunned everyone.

“Holy crap! Is this zombie really that smart?”

“Whoa, it even knows how to target weak points?!”

“The dragon’s scales are tough, so it’s going for the softest spot first! No wonder it’s HIM’s number-one minion!”

“Correction, it’s our number-one minion now!”

Luckily, Cang Long maintained control of the dragon. As 007 lunged, Cang Long forced the dragon to tilt its head, narrowly avoiding a devastating blow to the eyes. Instead, 007’s blade scraped along the dragon’s neck, producing a harsh screech and leaving a deep gash in its scales.

To put things in perspective, even the strongest players could only leave minor scratches on the dragon’s scales with iron swords. But 007 had cut deep, showing just how monstrous its strength truly was.

Although the dragon’s scales were damaged, it remained unharmed. Yonghui let out a sigh of relief and immediately issued another command. “No weapons! Let’s see it fight barehanded!”

He couldn’t risk any more unexpected developments. Tianheng, seeing his leader’s concern, ordered 007 to drop its weapon. But when the zombie didn’t immediately comply, Tianheng grew uneasy. He repeated his order with a louder voice.

Just then, Pengpeng, who had been hiding among the onlookers, gave a loud cough. Only then did 007 reluctantly release the sword and move toward the dragon empty-handed. Tianheng made sure to stress, “No attacking the eyes!”

007 charged again, throwing a powerful punch that landed squarely on the dragon’s scales. “Bang! Bang!” The impact echoed, but it barely made a dent; the dragon’s scales were as hard as steel.

“Yes!” Yonghui cheered. He was thrilled. If 007 couldn’t pierce the dragon’s defenses without a weapon, it meant HIM, who never carried weapons, would be at a major disadvantage. HIM’s strength lay in its skills, which Yonghui had already tested—none of the other monsters’ abilities had any serious effect on the dragon.

With newfound confidence, Yonghui began issuing orders to the guild members. “Keep feeding the Ender Dragon and this zombie. We need them to grow stronger! Our time is running out!”

…

Time passed quickly, and by the end of the day, the Ender Dragon had grown significantly under the Eternal Guild’s care, nearly reaching adulthood. Its body had expanded to match the size of a mature dragon—over a hundred blocks long and fifty high. Its scales gleamed black and emitted a faint purple glow, becoming even more resilient.

Meanwhile, 007’s power surged as it continued to grow. Its physical strength reached terrifying levels, now capable of denting the dragon’s scales with a punch. However, it had yet to evolve any new skills.

While Yonghui trained his forces, he knew the players themselves had to be battle-ready. He couldn’t rely solely on the dragon and 007.

At that moment, Tianheng and the guild’s leadership were discussing ways to help 007 develop skills when a player burst into the room, exclaiming, “Boss! We found the player who anonymously leaked our guild’s coordinates!”
