Boom!
The enormous body of Young Red Dragon Kadilos, carrying boiling dragon blood, plummeted into the dust.
The forward rushforce and the downward impact created a deep, concave pit in the soft forest soil.
A terrifying shockwave radiated outwards from the center of the pit, like a powerful hurricane sweeping through.
Soil flew, and the leaves of the tall trees around rustled and shook.
Several old trees closer to the pit had their roots broken and stems snapped, their entire bodies overturned as if by a tornado, falling outwards, their thick, broken roots exposed in the loose soil.
Even the Magicians and Gnolls in the camp, who were further away from the True Dragon impact zone, felt a strong gust of wind blow towards them, making the Magicians' long hair flutter and the Gnolls' manes dance.
"Is this the power of a True Dragon? Even relying solely on its body, a True Dragon is enough to stand at the top of the world. No wonder these True Dragon s always dismiss Magicians," High-level Mage Lumen's usually arrogant heart instantly settled after witnessing this shocking scene.
Gnoll leader Yug also had a similar thought; even with his strength, falling from high altitude, he might be lucky enough to survive.
If he was unlucky, he would instantly enter the abyss, becoming a toy and war soul weapon for Yeenoghu.
Not to mention that the enormous weight of the Young Red Dragon would further amplify the falling force, yet Young Red Dragon Kadilos showed no signs of serious injury.
Young Red Dragon Kadilos slowly rose from the deep pit, the swirling dust and smoke unable to conceal his massive body, over eighteen meters long.
Streams of scorching, boiling dragon blood sprayed from his back and right flank, splattering and dripping onto the blackish-gray soil, corroding the dark earth with a sizzling sound like cold water dripping into hot oil.
Then, the wounds on the Young Red Dragon's back and right flank gradually closed forcefully under the True Dragon's powerful healing ability and its own muscle contraction control, leaving only a few deep, narrow, blood-white wounds, with only some overflowing dragon blooddripping out.
"Very good, very good, you have successfully angered me, angered the Great Red Dragon Kadilos," the Young Red Dragon's appearance was slightly disheveled at this moment.
His wings, like tattered sails, hung limp, and the scales around several narrow wounds on his body had burst open.
Some areas even had missing scales, revealing the True Dragon's bare skin, like a red fish body with its scales peeled off.
But the Young Red Dragon's tone remained arrogant, the fury of Evil Dragon Blood growing ever fiercer, consuming all of this Red Dragon's mind.
His bloodline boiled more and more, and high-temperature steam and strong sulfurous gas emanated from the Young Red Dragon's scales, enveloping the entire pit area in a cloud of hot mist.
The entire sulfur-colored and crimson hot mist quickly intensified, like some diluted swamp, completely enveloping the hundred-meter radius around the Young Red Dragon.
These hot mists possessed extremely strong corrosiveness and high temperatures; everything touched by the hot mist was corroded, becoming scorched and dry.
Even the soil underfoot turned into dry, scorched earth, as if all moisture had been drawn out, all heat absorbed.
And Young Red Dragon Kadilos laughed maniacally in the dense hot mist, "You ignorant, tiny True Dragons, I will no longer hold back, nor will I give you the chance to become my slaves. I've changed my mind."
"All True Dragon s must die today, and those damn Magicians who deserve to die ten thousand times over! I will burn all your flesh and blood to ashes, and gnaw on your bones, except for those two female True Dragon s, hahaha."
The wounds on his body gradually began to truly heal under the nourishment of the dry hot mist, and the Dragon Language from his mouth began to chant loudly. The Young Red Dragon, who had awakened his bloodline spells, had decided to cast his innate bloodline spell regardless of his territory.
A high-pitched Dragon Language voice emanated from the hot mist, carrying a unique rhythm and cadence.
It was like an echo from an endless time-space corridor, layered and indistinct, making it hard to hear clearly.
The chanted Dragon Language was like the call of elemental spirits in a dream. These echoes resonated with a certain world rhythm, triggering the resonance of elemental power.
Elemental power began to deviate from its original flow in the real world, spontaneously converging.
The earth began to tremble, the soft soil and fine stones vibrated, and infinite magic power began to be absorbed and gathered amidst the Dragon Language resonance. An elemental storm was about to converge here.
This was a spell ability that Young Red Dragon Kadilos obtained after his transformation into the youth stage, capable of causing underground magma to surge upwards.
This great power from the world was enough to break through the spell shields cast by those High-level Mages, exposing the True Dragon's bodies completely before the Young Red Dragon.
And the Young Red Dragon could also bathe in the magma fire sea to receive energy replenishment and spell enhancements. At that time, the Young Red Dragon was confident he could tear the True Dragon apart one by one.
This was also the reason the Young Red Dragon Kadilos chose to nest here. The underground here contained almost infinite geothermal energy and magma, making it the Red Dragon's favorite nest and battlefield.
However, the only flaw of this spell was that it was too slow to activate. The Young Red Dragoncould not control the earth like Kalon; he could only use the spell to guide the endless magma and molten currents to break through the thick and solid obstacles of the earth.
But the True Dragon obviously wouldn't let the Young Red Dragon act unimpeded. At this moment, not only was the earth trembling, but the sky was also shaking, the wind was howling, and the air was distorting.
Kalon led the True Dragon in a charge, then circled high into the sky and returned, diving down.
Whoosh!
Bang!
At this moment, the True Dragon plunged down from high altitude, carrying an even more terrifying momentum than before. A sharp whooshing sound exploded across the entire sky, and one white cloud after another appeared around the True Dragon like exploding cloud rings.
At this time, under Kalon's leadership, the True Dragon briefly broke through the air resistance and the limits of sound in their diving posture. The True Dragon were like falling meteorites, streaking across the sky and arriving instantly.
Upon entering the hot mist released by the Young Red Dragon, all the True Dragon s, including Kalon, felt a slight sensation of sluggishness in their rapidly charging bodies.
The hot mist seemed to have a density like water, capable of slightly slowing down the force and speed of the True Dragon's impact.
Even the magical spell shields, shimmering with magical light, that enveloped all the True Dragon s could not completely block it.
But with Kalon leading the way, the True Dragon's charging speed was too fast for these effects to matter.
In the next instant, the True Dragon led by Kalon broke through layers of dense mist, confronting Young Red Dragon Kadilos directly.
"Damn it, how are these guys so fast?" Young Red Dragon Kadilos's throat organs vibrated.
He chanted Dragon Language magic, and a terrifying stream of detached, fiery Dragonfire spewed from the True Dragon's mouth, surging towards the True Dragon.
At the same time, the Young Red Dragon lowered his head and braced his horns, his four limbs sinking deep into the soil, his knotted leg muscles preparing to unleash his full body strength, and his thick tail simultaneously building up power, ready to deliver a heavy blow.
Rumble, rumble, rumble. At this moment, the ground trembled and began to crack with deep fissures.
From within the deep fissures, boundless dark red and golden yellow mixed magma and molten currents were about to break through the earth's obstruction, releasing the immense power accumulated by the world for many years.
But the next moment, boundless purgatory suddenly descended with the True Dragon's charge, and surging high temperatures and flames incinerated all the heat and mist emanating from the Young Red Dragon.
The endless magma was also blocked by the re-closed earth, fruitlessly impacting the thick ground.
This was because the control of elemental power and magic power had been seized by Kalon's domain and his own bloodline talent, a principle shared by many Magicians' silence spells.
The True Dragon's attack also descended at this moment. Kalon, carrying the momentum of an impact from the heavens, was not afraid of a head-on clash with the Young Red Dragon.
He lowered his head and arched his thick, long horns to collide head-on with the Young Red Dragon.
Bang!
A heavy thud suddenly rang out. The spell shield cast by the High-level Mages on Kalon's body and his own protective enchantments shattered upon impact.
Then, Kalon's thick Dragon Horns, enveloped in psionic power and earth power, directly broke off the Young Red Dragon Kadilos's horns.
Then Kalon's thick Dragon Horns directly pierced into the Young Red Dragon's hard skull, knocking Young Red Dragon Kadilos's entire body over, like a rolling ball in the air.
In mid-air, the Young Red Dragon flew out, head and tail entangled, as if the world had turned upside down.
With a loud boom, Kalon's body also stopped its forward momentum due to the intense impact, but the True Dragon behind Kalon had already charged forward.
The Female Red Dragon Klenaya on the left let out an angry roar, her sharp Dragon Claws raking across the Young Red Dragon's scales, then embedding deeply into the Young Red Dragon's body.
The adolescent Blue Dragon Akzi on the right wing of the True Dragon thrust his Dragon Claws into the Young Red Dragon's previously torn wound, and together with Red Dragon Klenaya, they grabbed the Young Red Dragon's body and flew forward.
The young Blue Dragon Dos and the young Green Dragon Anta Jiena instantly filled the gap, each using their sharp True Dragon Claws to tear through the Young Red Dragon's wing membranes, then grabbing the Young Red Dragon's wing bones, exerting force together.
White True Dragon camid and Alfred also charged up instantly, flying onto the back of Young Red Dragon Kediluos, their eight sharp claws fiercely digging into the slowly healing wounds on the Young Red Dragon's back.
Their claws penetrated deep into the spine, firmly grasping the Young Red Dragon's spine, and they flapped their wings, rising into the air.
Only the young Black Dragon Rosani, this frail Black True Dragon who had originally lagged behind White True Dragon camid, stayed behind with a lewd smile on his face, digging his sharp claws into the Young Red Dragon's anus below its tail.
Aoooooooh!
Young Red Dragon Kadilos, having suffered so many attacks the instant he was knocked flying by Kalon, was already in excruciating pain all over, especially the wounds on his back, which were already bone-deep, his clean, thick spine exposed amidst the gaping flesh.
His massive body gushed boiling dragon blood, staining the entire ground crimson-black.
Gulp.
The Young Red Dragon Kadilos lay in the large pit, his eyes lifeless and barely alive, with pungent dragon blood overflowing from his mouth and nose, and a stream of blood bubbles emerging from his nostrils.
Bang, bang, bang.
The True Dragons landed beside the Young Red Dragon, some of them excited. The powerful Young Red Dragon was a formidable opponent in the eyes of these True Dragons.
But now, having been defeated by the True Dragon, this undoubtedly greatly boosted these True Dragon's confidence, giving them a kind of refinement.
Kalon also walked over, shaking his head, which was still seeing stars, and stood in front of the Young Red Dragon, looking down at Red Dragon Kadilos, who was temporarily unable to move.
And those High-level Mages, including Mimi Eye Mage Hsiusir, who had used magic to firmly secure themselves to Alfred, now jumped off the True Dragon's back with pale, terrified faces, then began to vomit wildly.
Mimi Eye Mage Hsiusir, spitting out his breakfast, weakly said, "Damn it, how can any mortal dream of becoming a Dragon Rider? I never want to ride on a True Dragon again! If there's a next time, I, Hsiusir, will be a goblin's pet!"
But no True Dragon paid attention to the Magicians.the Black Dragon Rosani stepped forward, chuckled, and then patted the Young Red Dragon's head with his foreclaw.
Then he wiped the filth from his claws on the Young Red Dragon's head and laughed, "Hey, why aren't you so arrogant now, Young Red Dragon? Tsk, tsk, impressive. You even wanted to kill all the True Dragon in the Nest of Dragons, but there's a more noble existence than you in the True Dragon!"
White Dragon camid, imitating Kalon's usual thoughtful expression, looked pensive as he categorized Young Red Dragon Kadilos. He tilted his head, gazing at the sun on the horizon, and said profoundly, "Hmm, this is an overconfident fool, not even qualified to polish Kalon's claws!"
Alfred also sighed, "It's so easy to blend in with the True Dragon! If I were a single True Dragon facing this Young Red Dragon, I definitely wouldn't hesitate and would just run away, heh."
Red Copper Dragon and Bronze Dragon are somewhat anomalous among Metal Dragon. Although they receive nurturing from elders, they are not as united as other Metal Dragon. When it comes to fighting, they rely on their own True Dragon Vein circles and do not have the close ties that True Dragon do.
"Kalon, how should we deal with him? This Young Red Dragon previously threatened to kill us. It seems he never had good intentions,"
White Dragon Germott walked to Kalon's side. The White Dragon's way of thinking had already deviated from those chaotic Chromatic Dragon. Immediately after the incident, he was already thinking about how to handle the aftermath.
"Just kill him directly. He wanted to invade the Dragon clan's territory, and even wanted to kill the True Dragon and enslave the True Dragon. Even if we kill him, other True Dragon cannot cause us trouble because of it," Female Red Dragon Klenaya's temper was as fiery as ever.
Not only because the Young Red Dragon wanted to invade the territory, but the Young Red Dragon's words also implied he wanted to treat her and Green Dragon Antagena as playthings.
As a Red Dragon, she understood the true nature of her fellow True Dragon all too well.
Not every Red Dragon is like Kalon, able to control the chaos and desires of Evil Dragon Blood. Even Klenaya, who has embarked on the path of awakening her ancestral bloodline, cannot do it.
Green Dragon Antagena also strongly agreed with Klenaya's opinion. This Green Dragon furrowed the fine scales on her brow, which were as beautiful as green jade, and habitually walked to Kalon's side, like a chick hiding under a rooster's wing.
While gazing at the quiet Kalon with fawning eyes, she spoke with great disdain, "Kalon, my King, please do not spare this hateful Red Dragon. Such a chaotic and overconfident fellow will bring a lot of trouble to the True Dragon."
Kalon was thinking. Of course, he would not spare this Young Red Dragon.
Letting go of such an enemy with great growth potential is a foolish act that no normal person would commit, but he also didn't want to kill this Young Red Dragon directly.
In his opinion, the decline of True Dragon in various planes was not only due to hunting by other races, but also excessive infighting was a major reason for the decline of the True Dragon race.
He did not want the True Dragon he led to fall into such a predicament. Most importantly, he wanted to squeeze out all the Young Red Dragon's usefulness. Directly killing a True Dragon was a huge waste in Kalon's mind, given his perfectionist approach to resource utilization.
Even giving this Young Red Dragon to the Dwarf craftsman Kalon as a hairdryer or a flamethrower would be better than directly killing him.
Moreover, he felt that he could use the Red Dragon's Evil true Dragon Blood to cultivate some Dragonborn, making them True Dragon -shaped machines for producing Dragonborn. Although Dragonborn created from his own dragon blood were more likely to remain loyal, Kalon was not worried about rebellion from the Dragonborn.
Not to mention that his psychic energy, a power born from Kalon's mind and flesh, allowed Kalonto perceive the general, simple emotional activities of all living beings around him.
Just Kalon's own growth rate alone could suppress all innately deficient Dragonborn, preventing them from having other thoughts.
As for other matters, it would only require time for ideological education, which was, in any case, a necessary measure for the territory in the future.
Blue Dragon Dos saw through Kalon's thoughts. Since childhood, Blue Dragon had understood the Red Dragon's character well. Dos stepped forward, "Kalon, why don't we take this Young True Dragon back, forge an indestructible chain, lock him up, and then have him guard the treasury for the True Dragon?"
Blue Dragon Dos's massive pupils gleamed with the wickedness of an Evil Dragon. He laughed, "Let this Red Dragon face the treasury every day without being able to touch it. I imagine he wouldn't want any other creature to touch the True Dragon's treasury."
For a True Dragon, this was indeed an extremely severe punishment.
To see the treasury before one's eyes and not be able to possess it was a form of torture; it was possible this Red Dragon would be driven mad by such torment.
Kalon couldn't help but marvel at the Blue Dragon's idea. "You Evil Dragon, you always come up with new tricks for me."
But Kalon felt that this was not safe. An unbreakable chain was not, after all, an unbreakable chain. He was thinking about how to safely utilize this Young Red Dragon.
At this moment, Gnoll leader Yug brought all the Gnoll to salute the True Dragon. The Magician also ran over, led by High-level Mage Lumen.
High-level Mage Lumen, with a long, mournful face, was more affectionate upon seeing the True Dragon than he would have been seeing his own relatives.
He immediately embraced Kalon's thick foreleg and cried, "Lord Kalon, Lord Kalon, please, please make this hateful Red Dragon lift the contract on me! I, Lumen, have contributed to the Dragon clan, and shed… shed sweat for the Dragon clan!"
It was fortunate that Kalon did not know High-level Mage Lumen's previous thoughts, otherwise he might have been unable to resist asking, "Why were you so arrogant before and so humble now?" But he still pushed the High-level Mage's body away with a hint of disdain.
However, it was not surprising that High-level the Mage Lumen was so obsequious. This enslavement magic, which originated from bloodline control, could not be lifted even by a Saint-level Mage.
Unless the Mage Lumen had his most fundamental bloodline extracted from his entire body and a new body replaced it.
Or, to find a bloodline more noble than the Evil Dragon Blood on the True Dragon, and replace Mage Lumen with this bloodline, washing away the contract from the depths of his bloodline source.
However, such an act could probably only be accomplished by gods and some extremely terrifying Legendary figures. Although High-level Mage Lumen was high above ordinary humans and considered a genius.
But for this level, even if he looked up, he couldn't see the soles of the feet of these terrifying legends.
"What contract? Let me see," Kalon concentrated and looked at High-level Mage Lumen.
A lifelike True Dragon horn imprint, as if naturally grown into the flesh, was carved on the High-level Mage Lumen's forehead, just like those harsh nobles who carve slave marks on the most conspicuous parts of their slaves.
"Huh, isn't this the enslavement contract spell that only exists in the White Dragon's legacy?" White Dragon Germott leaned in with his small head. A faint chill covered his white scales, and the white frost scales gradually transformed into the appearance of condensed ice.
Upon hearing this, Kalon glanced at the Young Red Dragon lying on the ground, slowly recovering. The Chromatic Dragon' respective inheritances were not interconnected; they were all knowledge inscribed in their bloodlines by their predecessors.
If a White Dragon's inherited spell appeared on a True Dragon of another color, there were two possibilities, but if it appeared on a Red Dragon, there was only one possibility.
That is, this Young Red Dragon's predecessor had once killed a White True Dragon possessing this inherited spell, and then plundered the spell for himself.
As for the other situation, it would absolutely not happen, which is that the Red Dragon once had sex and mated with a White Dragon, and the Young Red Dragon is a hybrid of the Red Dragon and the White Dragon.
But Kalon could sense the pure Red Dragon bloodline of this Young Red Dragon.
Moreover, proud Red Dragon, even during their mating season, would only treat White True Dragon as toys and would never allow White True Dragon, which Red Dragon consider an inferior True Dragon species, to bear their offspring.
As for a White True Dragon forcing a Red Dragon, well, it's not impossible. Kalon's True Dragon claws touched his chin, and those few White True Dragon with 'great reputations' in the Endless Star Realm came to mind.
However, this spell solved Kalon's problem. He temporarily ignored the High-level Mage's crying and patted the Young Red Dragon lying on the ground with his True Dragon claws.
"Stop playing dead. If you dare to play dead again, I'll kill you," Kalon's tone was quite cold.
He knew that although the Young Red Dragon's injuries were severe, a True Dragon's vitality was not that fragile.
Moreover, the True Dragon had not inflicted any fatal injuries on the Young Red Dragon, merely crippling his mobility.
The Young Red Dragon Kadilos heard this and immediately flipped over, managing to squat up. Although his spine was exposed, it wasn't broken, so he could still control his body.
"What kind of monster are you? You are definitely not a Red Dragon. If it weren't for your domain suppression, I would never have lost so badly," Young Red Dragon Kediluos, at this moment, completely lacked his previous arrogance, instead appearing somewhat defeated and lacking confidence.
"Even those Red Dragon who have grown to their prime may not necessarily possess their own domain abilities. You are just a juvenile True Dragon, why do you have a domain? Could it be that you are the True Dragon God's bloodline left on Ekania?"
Young Red Dragon Kadilos widened his eyes. He prided himself on being a Red Dragon of outstanding talent, but even having reached his youth, he couldn't grasp the edge of a domain. Yet, this juvenile Red Dragon already possessed his own domain.
Kalon's massive head slightly shook. He was too lazy to answer the Young Red Dragon's question, and too lazy to ask for the other party's name, merely stating coldly, "Hand over the knowledge of that spell, True Dragon's Favor."
"Damn fellow, you should show respect to a noble Red Dragon!" Young Red Dragon Kadilos was enraged by Kalon's condescending tone and couldn't help but roar.
Bang!
Klenaya, the little female True Dragon beside Kalon, swept her slender tail like a heavy siege ram, knocking the Young Red Dragon Kadilos to the ground. Then, Klenaya's thick Dragon claws stepped on the Young Red Dragon's head, which lay in the dust.
This female True Dragon bared her sharp fangs, and two plumes of embers shot from her nostrils. Her Dragon claws pressed down on the Young Red Dragon's head, and she growled in a low voice, "Watch your words, you foolish fellow! Kalon is ten thousand times more noble than you. Don't make me want to crush your head again."
Ultimately, Kalon, like a gentleman, only needed to speak, and without lifting a claw, he obtained this spell that had quite captivated him.
With this spell, he would have a proper method to deal with stubborn or mutually disinterested True Dragons in the future, without having to stain himself with too much dragon blood.
He certainly didn't want to acquire something like a True Dragon Slayer Aura or True Dragon Slayer Majesty on himself.
The Young Red Dragon Kadilos was dragged back to the Nest of Dragons by the True Dragon like a dead dog. Originally, these True Dragon had planned to carry the Young Red Dragon back by flying, but since there was no treasure accumulated in the Young Red Dragon's lair.
It was also that the True Dragon had become accustomed to the life of a lord True Dragon, and they completely failed to realize that it was already good enough for these wandering, solitary Evil Dragon to simply survive and grow each day; how could they have any chance to accumulate treasure?
So, the Young Red Dragon was dragged back by the disappointed True Dragon, held by his tail.
Along the way, the other True Dragons would occasionally curse and mock the Young Red Dragon for being a poor True Dragon, with Alfred being the most vociferous.
It was his first experience with the True Dragon's sharing of spoils, and it left him greatly disappointed.
The Red Copper Dragon, who loved to tell stories, was considered a highly cultured Dragon among the True Dragons of the kogmora Dragon clan , with various folk idioms constantly emerging.
Unlike the White Dragon camid, who only repeated a few phrases: pauper, idiot, eyes in his big butt.
Kalon, meanwhile, followed behind the True Dragons, his auxiliary brain cluster continuously analyzing the model and principle information of the True Dragon's Favor spell. He needed to master this spell as quickly as possible, not necessarily proficiently, but just enough to use it.
Then he could bring the Young Red Dragon under complete control, and with this worry resolved, he could safely pass through the planar portal with the Magician and begin his journey of exploration and scavenging.
