Chapter 373 Meeting Again
Meanwhile, as the two clueless battle-loving duo battled monsters throughout the night until morning, Andrew Dawn's night and morning were rather uneventful. After seeing the situation at the ogre camp, Andrew Dawn could not sleep well as he wondered if the ogre race was an exception or if other races possessed similar numbers and strength.
If it was the former, then it was good news because humans also had their own strength and could contend with such numbers alone or by uniting. However, if it was the latter, Andrew Dawn would have to worry for all of humanity, not just the people in his settlement.
Thoughts about the different races caused a headache for Andrew Dawn, adding to his already numerous problems. Even after sending a message to Ace before deciding to rest, he couldn't find the peace he was seeking. In the end, just a few hours before morning, his wife became a source of stress relief as they comforted each other.
Unfortunately, Andrew couldn't fully release all his tension because, in comparison to his wife, it was clear that he was overpowering her physically. Despite that, their encounter was the best they had ever experienced.
Upon waking up in the morning, Andrew Dawn went about his usual routine, checking on the settlement to ensure everything was functioning as it should. Satisfied with the state of affairs on the surface, he took to the skies and flew outside the settlement to see if everything was normal beyond its borders.
Before gaining the ability to fly, this responsibility fell to his men. They were tasked with reporting anything suspicious and taking care of the monsters in the vicinity of the settlement.
With some time before checking the settlement report and meeting with Ace, Andrew Dawn decided to engage in a few activities to pass the time. However, his heart was not at ease due to the lingering concern that the ogre race or other races might be nearing his territory, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Fortunately, it seemed like his worries were unfounded. Even after flying to the territory previously invaded by the ogres, all he witnessed in the sky were his men, an abundance of greenery, and weak monsters. Satisfied that nothing was amiss, Andrew Dawn resolved to take care of any remaining monsters on his way back to the settlement.
These monsters posed no significant threat, so he did not need to engage in a lengthy fight or descend to the ground. Instead, he showered them with flames as he made his way back to the settlement.
Once he returned, Andrew Dawn spent the next few hours attending to his family and subordinates. As noon approached and it was almost time for him to depart for his meeting with Ace, he sent a message to confirm their plans.
....
[Andrew Dawn]
It's almost noon. I'll see you at the meeting point.
....
After sending the message, Andrew Dawn exchanged a few words with his family and men. Just as he was about to take flight, a bell-like sound resonated in his head, signaling an incoming message. He turned his attention to check its contents and discovered it was a simple reply from Ace.
[Ace Blaze]
Okay.
...….
Seeing the simplicity of the message, especially considering Ace's previous position as his subject, Andrew Dawn chuckled to himself. "Well, it seems like he's still himself," he muttered. He slightly bent down in front of his residence, catching the eyes of his subject, and propelled himself into the air.
Andrew Dawn's jump propelled him several dozen meters into the sky. Once he felt he had reached a sufficient height, he unfurled his dragon wings and headed in the direction where he and Ace were to meet.
"Considering my speed, I'll likely arrive before him unless he's very close. Maybe I should take the chance to blow off some steam," Andrew Dawn contemplated while suspended mid-air. After pondering for a moment, he decided to seek out some strong monsters to engage with and vent his frustrations on.
Soaring through the sky, Andrew Dawn's dragon wings beat powerfully as he scanned the horizon for signs of formidable opponents. He was determined to unleash his pent-up frustration and find solace in battle.
His keen senses detected a faint tremor in the ground after some time, indicating the presence of a massive creature nearby. Intrigued, he followed the vibrations, allowing his instincts to guide him closer to his potential opponent.
Before long, Andrew Dawn spotted a colossal beast towering over the landscape. It was a gigantic creature with obsidian-like scales, its fiery eyes burning with ferocity. The ground trembled with each step it took.
A smile curled upon Andrew's lips as he observed the mighty monster. It was a worthy adversary that would undoubtedly provide the challenge he sought. Without hesitation, he dived towards the ground, tightly folding his dragon wings against his back.

Andrew Dawn's heart raced with stimulation as he descended toward the colossal beast, ready to engage in a fierce battle. The wind rushed past him, epinephrine pumping through his veins. As he drew closer, he could feel the ground shaking beneath him, a testament to the immense power of his adversary.
With a powerful surge of energy, Andrew Dawn unfurled his dragon wings, slowing his descent just in time to land gracefully a few meters away from the towering creature. Its dark scales shimmered in the sunlight, emanating an aura of primal strength.
"I knew my strength had far surpassed the limit of what a rank 1 should have but how far is it?"
"Hahahaha"
