What Does the Evil Dragon Live for? Manhua

Title: What Lies Beneath In the realm of Lumina, a land shrouded in mystery and magic, there existed a dark legend of the Blackthorn Forest—a place feared by all for the evil dragon that supposedly lurked within its depths. Rumors of its malevolence spread like wildfire, and no one dared to venture near. Except for one brave soul named Elara. With her fierce determination and unwavering courage, she set out on a quest to uncover the truth behind the legend. As she traversed the twisted paths of the forest, shadows whispered sinister secrets, and the air crackled with an ominous energy. Finally, she stood before the entrance to a foreboding cavern, the supposed lair of the evil dragon. Stealing her nerves, Elara took a deep breath and stepped inside, her heart pounding in anticipation. To her surprise, the cavern was not filled with treasures or bones as she had expected. Instead, she found a wounded dragon lying on the cold stone floor, its once-gleaming scales now dulled with exhaustion and pain. Without hesitation, Elara approached the dragon, her voice soft yet firm. "What ails you, mighty creature?" The dragon's eyes, filled with a mix of confusion and gratitude, locked onto Elara's. "No one has ever dared to show me kindness before," it rumbled, its voice tinged with weariness. As Elara tended to the dragon's wounds, a bond began to form between them—a bond that transcended fear and prejudice. Through their conversations, Elara learned of the dragon's tragic past, of the loneliness and despair that had consumed its heart. Driven by compassion, Elara made it her mission to help the dragon heal, both physically and emotionally. And in doing so, she unraveled the layers of darkness that had shrouded its soul, revealing a being not of pure evil, but of profound suffering and longing. Together, Elara and the dragon embarked on a journey of redemption and forgiveness, challenging the beliefs of the kingdom and proving that sometimes, what lies beneath the surface is not a monster, but a wounded soul in need of solace and understanding. And thus, their unlikely alliance sparked a new era of hope and unity in the realm of Lumina.
