The supporting character's harem is very normal

contemporary romance

Lathel was startled. For a second, he remembered the scales flying towards him.

Although those scales did not hit him, they were used to cut off his escape route.

Lathel wanted to avoid them so... he didn't know that the more he avoided those scales, the closer he moved towards the Fire Drake.

Up until now, he was less than five meters away from the Fire Drake. Lathel also couldn't believe that a monster like this could be so intelligent.

Perhaps... that's also the reason why no matter how hard the academy staff tried they couldn't destroy it. No, they couldn't even hold it back.

Lathel immediately stood up. He whispered to Cauldron: "Can you break its scales?"

"No! If I could store more energy, I could smash those damn scales." Cauldron sighed and said: "However, this time is different. My energy is too little. If I use too much, I'm afraid... I will also break."

Lathel nodded, he tried to control his breathing, then he looked towards the Fire Drake.

The Fire Drake also looked at him, it was not in a hurry to attack and it seemed to be enjoying the process of being a hunter.

"Lathel, be careful. He wants to use you to level up." Cauldron said.

"What?! Level up?" Lathel asked confusedly.

"That's right. Up until now, it has had many opportunities to kill you, however, it still did not do it because it wanted to use you to help it break through."

"Monsters are quite similar and different from humans."

"They have two types of advancement. The first type is to store enough energy, then enter the hibernation stage to break through to a higher level."

"The second type is through fighting, they will push themselves to the limit, which would cause them to break through to a higher level."

Listening to Cauldron's explanation, Lathel also realized why the Fire Drake was only looking at him and not attacking.

Its eyes were filled with provocation and contempt as if it were looking at an ant that was struggling futilely against its absolute power.

Lathel took a deep breath, he knew that today he couldn't escape this place unless he could beat this monster.

BAM!

At this moment, Lathel's body burned like a torch and the white and red energy also intertwined with each other.

The white energy flow covered his entire body, while the red energy flow turned into ridges that wrapped around his body, especially his arms and legs.

"Cauldron…" Lathel said with a sigh.

"Hmm?!"

"Sorry for putting you in a situation like this."

"Hahaha… What the hell are you talking about? I have encountered several situations like this with people who accompanied me in the past." Cauldron smiled and said: "It's more fun this way."

Lathel also smiled and asked: "Does it have any disadvantages?"

"There is almost no downside unless you are stronger than it." "However, it seems that the lightning element has some influence on it," Cauldron said.

"But… the difference in class and strength between you and the Fire Drake is too great, even if your lightning element really is its weakness, it is not enough to kill it."

Lathel took a deep breath, then exhaled, frowned and said: "I can only use all my strength."

He clenched his hands, then said: "I will try to aim at its eyes."

Immediately after that, Lathel stomped on the ground, the place he stepped on immediately sank, and cracks spread around.

BAM!

Lathel was like an artillery shell. In this darkness, he was like a white-red light rushing towards the monster.

The Fire Drake just swung its tail towards Lathel.

Lathel was faster, he jumped up, and easily avoided the Fire Drake's tail.

"Watch out!"

Cauldron suddenly spoke, Lathel also sensed something was wrong as the fire drake's attack could not be this simple.

A beam of light appeared above Lathel's head. He raised his head and saw a fireball falling on his head.

Lathel gritted his teeth, and silently cursed in his heart: 'Damn it! That tail is just bait, the real attack is the fireball.'

He was floating in the air, so he was unable to dodge. Finally, Lathel decided to swing his fist that contained the suppressed energy around it.

"Gondori!"

BAM!

A loud explosion rang out, the fireball exploded, Lathel took advantage of the force from the explosion to fall in another direction.

He fell on the ground, quickly stabilized his body, then ran towards the Fire Drake while thinking of an almost impossible solution.

Lathel kicked hard on the ground, causing dust and rocks to fly everywhere, obscuring his body.

The Fire Drake opened its mouth, and another fireball appeared in it.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a howling sound of wind rang out, and a large cauldron shot straight towards the Fire Drake's head. The drake frowned, and spat out the fireball in its mouth towards the cauldron.

BAM!

The fireball and the cauldron collided, creating a huge explosion. The already dark sky, combined with the smoke and dust from the explosion, made the fire Drake unable to clearly see whether the cauldron was destroyed or not.

Suddenly, Lathel appeared from the dust, falling on Fire Drake's head.

It immediately tilted its head, preventing Lathel from falling on it.

However, as Lathel was falling he suddenly turned into a giant cauldron.

The Fire Drake was startled, but it was all too late.

BOONG!

The cauldron fell onto its long mouth, making it a bit dizzy.

While it was still dizzy, Lathel appeared, without a sound and jumped on the Fire Drake's head.

Lathel felt lucky because he possessed the skill 'Camouflage'.

Thanks to this skill, he could disrupt the opponent's judgment. Moreover it was almost impossible to distinguish what is real and what is fake.

Lathel stood over its long mouth, held Cauldron in his hand, then swung it up, and smashed it once more into its mouth.

BOONG!

The collision echoed and two of the Fire Drake's sharp teeth fell out along with fresh blood.

Not stopping there, Lathel repeatedly swung the Cauldron on its head.

The fire Drake was so hurt that it roared in anger. He opened his mouth, and in his mouth was another fireball. However, this fireball was different from the fireball from before.

It was hotter, and it radiatied a more dazzling aura, Lathel even felt that the destructive power inside that fireball made it look like a miniature sun.

"I have been waiting for this moment." Lathel smiled as he spoke.

He jumped high, and swung his arms forward. As he did so a magic circle appeared in front of his hands.

"Thunder Dragon!"

GRAOO!!!

A white dragon rushed out from the magic circle, carrying terrifying lightning into the Fire Drake's mouth.

That dragon's speed was so fast that before the monster could react, the Thunder Dragon was already inside its mouth.

"Explose!" Lathel shouted.

Immediately afterwards, the Lightning Dragon wrapped around the fireball, and pulled it deep into the Fire Drake's throat.

BAM!

A terrible explosion rang out, and countless electric sparks shot out from the Fire Drake's mouth.

That terrible explosion created a shock wave that swept around and sent Lathel flying into the distance.

GRAOO!!

GRAOO!!

The Fire Drake screamed in pain, but Lathel was no better. He lay on the ground, panting, as his body was extremely tired.

To use the Lightning Dragon skill, he consumed almost all of his energy.

Now, he was both exhausted and depleted of magical energy. However, when he looked towards the screaming Fire Drake that was in pain and misery, he knew he had won.

The Fire Drake lay on the ground, writhing like a leech stuck in salt. The scales on its body slowly fell off, and blood flowed out of its body like a stream, it looked as if the Fire Drake was bathing in a pool of blood.

The surrounding wall of fire also disappeared, and the entire space was plunged into darkness.

Cauldron said happily: "Its body is still paralyzed by the lightning from the Lightning Dragon."

"The fireball from earlier destroyed its internal organs. Now, it is not far from death."

"Lathel, you are amazing. I didn't think that in the moment between life and death, you could think of a solution."

Lathel gasped, he no longer had the strength to answer Cauldron. However, listening to Cauldron's words, he was also extremely happy.

At least… he won.

The Fire Drake lay on the ground, its gaze fixed towards Lathel.

Lathel also looked towards it. He felt that the monster's eyes were full of anger and it couldnot accept what happened.

It was defeated by an ordinary human.

It failed, it was unable to break through to a higher level, and tread the path to become the strongest creature.

One move... just one move, Lathel turned his sure death into victory.

"Fortunately, the Thunder Dragon was able to wrap itself around that fireball…" Cauldron continued: "Otherwise, the Thunder Dragon's strength would not have been enough to make it as miserable as this."

Lathel also agreed with Cauldron. He won not because he was strong or smart, he was just luckier than others.

While Lathel was breathing a sigh of relief, Fire Drake suddenly opened his mouth.

In its mouth, a red gem fell out, the size of a tennis ball, emitting a dazzling aura.

"That is…" Cauldron said with some surprise: "It is the energy crystal of Fire Drake. Even its Rank is very high, Rank C."

"Lathel, if you possess that energy crystal, the power of Anaconda Flame will become even stronger."

Lathel sighed, he took a deep breath, then weakly said: "I can't move now, do you think I have enough strength to take that stone?"

Cauldron: "…"

"Wait! Lathel, look there." Cauldron suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted.

Lathel looked towards the Fire Drake's energy crystal. That stone suddenly burst into flames, then melted like lava, mixing with Fire Drake's blood.

"Oy! Cauldron, what's going on?" Lathel began to feel worried, he felt that something terrible was about to happen.

"It… Fire Drake…" Before Cauldron could explain, Fire Drake's blood suddenly burst into flames.

That terrible flame quickly covered Fire Drake's entire body.

At this moment, Fire Drake's outer skin and scales were also melted by that same fire, revealing the muscle fibers behind its skin and scales.

More bizarre things continue to arise. The flames that were covering Fire Drake's entire body slowly shrank.

No, to be more precise, it slowly condensed, turning into a new layer of scales, covering Fire Drake's entire body.

GRAOO!!!

Fire Drake roared, it slowly stood up, its body seemed a bit bigger than before.

From a height of 3 meters, it was now more than 4 meters high and 10 meters long. The scales covering its body changed from red to a dazzling yellow, seemingly much sturdier than the old scales.

Especially its eyes, now, in its eyes there were two yellow flames burning fiercely.

It stood on the ground, raised its head to the sky and let out a roar that echoed throughout the entire forest.

"Lathel… do you remember what I said?" Cauldron then spoke up: "This is the second leveling method for monsters."

"The fire Drake, it... has successfully broken through to a higher level, level 60."
