Ember Dragon

"boom--"

The mountain hammered the ground furiously, delivering a determined blow that cracked the earth and sent sand, gravel and dust soaring into the sky.

But this time, it missed again!
"Shh-"

I saw a figure rising rapidly and breaking through the heavy smoke.

But in a flash, George had flown to a height of several dozen meters. He flapped his dragon wings, and his flaming golden eyes looked down at the orc closely.

Suddenly, a strong dragon might spread out and pressed towards the earth, and a scorching gale was stirred up by the wings, gradually sweeping across the earth.

"This is."

George felt the power of blood filling his chest, and the resistance created by the flapping of the broad dragon wings behind him. He felt a little curious at first, and then became extremely excited.

Half dragon.

At this critical moment, his bloodline from the Burning Emperor was awakened, and he actually broke through the shackles of genes and leaped to the level of "half-dragon".

In the Burning Embers Empire, although the titles of the dragon-blood nobles are clearly defined, their talents for receiving bloodlines are also different, and their bloodlines have a separate set of divisions.

Those who possess dragon-like features such as dragon scales, vertical pupils, and dragon claws are collectively called "descendants of the emperor" or "dragon descendants". This group accounts for about 5% of the total population, and George was one of them.

Only those who grow dragon wings are qualified to be called "the Emperor's Favored One" or "half-dragon".

There are very few of them, and almost all of them are big figures at the pinnacle of power in the empire, such as Marshal Doro of the Military Department, Ms. Misha of the Wildfire Tower, and even the Prime Minister of the Empire, Trump, has a pair of small dragon wings behind him.

Every half-dragon is a lucky one favored by the emperor, and almost all of them are veterans of the empire with great achievements.

And now, after experiencing several baptisms of dragon blood and encountering life-and-death crises, George is actually among them and has become a noble half-dragon!

He thought again of the figure in his mind just now, and the gaze cast at him. Could it be that - he really got the emperor's attention?

Thinking of this, George's heart suddenly surged, and endless excitement surged in his chest, and he even ignored the orcs on the ground for a moment.

This kind of neglect made the mountain extremely angry, and it hit the ground hard with its hammer, creating several huge pits.

"You damn reptile, you can't escape! Do you think you can get away by growing wings?
I’m still going to kill you!”

The giant mountain roared to the sky, raised his war hammer, pointed it at George in the sky, and roared fiercely.

"I should be the one to say this. You are completely powerless in the face of the power bestowed by His Majesty!"

George's eyes were stern, with a gleam in his pupils, and he did not hide the sarcasm in his tone.

His dragon wings suddenly spread out, casting a huge shadow on the ground. A giant red dragon seemed to appear behind him, and the powerful dragon power poured down, and even the mountains felt their shoulders sink.

Jushan's eyes suddenly widened, filled with shock.

How can it be?

How could there be a creature with a stronger aura than him? That was the power he was most proud of!
The giant mountain's eyes suddenly became bloodshot, and he roared in rage: "Waaagh!"

The muscles in the orc's arms bulged and veins popped out again. The huge war hammer made of steel was thrown out suddenly, and flames spurted out from behind the hammer head. It spun rapidly and smashed towards George in mid-air.

Looking at the war hammer coming towards him, George was not panicked at all. He flapped his wings and climbed up more than ten meters again, easily avoiding the attack.

The war hammer missed the target and continued to spin rapidly, returning to the hand of the giant mountain. The orc grinned at George who was rising. This was the moment he had been waiting for!
"boom!"

With a loud bang, the war hammer hit the ground, and the orc used the reaction force and his own jump to leap high at an unimaginable speed.

But in a flash, the giant mountain caught up with George who was climbing up and swung his hammer in the air towards him.

"not good!"

Hearing the roar of a giant creature breaking through the air behind him, George suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw the orc rushing towards him with a grin.

What a great speed!

George flipped over in the air, gripped the sword tightly with both hands, and held it horizontally, ready to counterattack at any time.

At the same time, George felt a surge of hot energy pent up in his lungs, chest, and throat that was about to be released.

——And the orc in front of him was obviously a good choice.

The giant mountain soon surpassed George and came to his head. Taking advantage of the downward momentum, it swung its war hammer vigorously at the half-dragon and shouted, "Reptile, take my hammer!"

George finally stopped suppressing the huge energy in his body and opened his mouth with a ferocious look, obviously ready for a fight to the death.

"boom--"

Along with the crisp sound of the air bursting, an extremely dazzling and extremely hot column of fire spurted out of George's mouth and hit the chest of the giant mountain directly.

The giant mountain's expression suddenly changed. For some reason, at the moment the other party opened its mouth, it actually felt an inexplicable fear, as if the fire could completely destroy it!
It is the best among millions of orcs and is a unique existence.

Those cunning and weak imperialists fired thousands of bullets and hundreds of artillery shells at it but failed to kill it. The overwhelming artillery fire could not drown it. How could it die in this little flame?

After a brief moment of surprise, it was filled with rage that completely made it lose its mind. Something seemed to be awakened inside the body made of spores.
"I will never lose! Waaaaagh——"

There was a faint light in the giant mountain's eyes, and he swung his hammer towards the pillar of fire. A materialized dark green force field emanated from his body, like a poisonous mist composed of countless spores.

The beastman's force field spread wildly, causing chaos in the magic network and world laws within a radius of hundreds of meters, and the weapons in the hands of the imperial soldiers became inoperable.

But facing such a terrifying force field, the energy in George's body not only did not weaken, but became even hotter and stronger. It was as if a miniature sun was brewing in his lungs, and the light even shone through his body.

And within that light, there was a hint of extremely sacred silver, like the light of heaven.

Just before the orc was about to smash his head, the powerful pillar of fire hit the mountain's chest, instantly burning through the tough skin and melting the thick flesh.

Although the body of the giant mountain was constantly absorbing spores from the surrounding orc corpses and recovering rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, it was still no match for the speed at which the pillar of fire destroyed its body tissues.

In addition to the confrontation on the surface, the dragon's might and the beast's force field were still colliding and squeezing each other, one after another, creating a series of space turbulence in the sky. In an instant, even the violently beating heart was destroyed by the pillar of fire, which pierced through the orc's body. George actually burned the giant mountain directly!
"boom!"

Some special spores also exploded in the orc's heart and were swallowed by flames.

The giant mountain was roaring and smashing towards George. Just when it was about to kill its enemy, it felt its body become weak - it could no longer feel pain, but the weakness frightened it far more than the pain.

Without power, its existence is meaningless.

"how come."

Jushan lowered his head in confusion and found that his strong body had become broken. A large charred hole appeared in his chest, piercing it from front to back.

As the heart exploded, the beastman force field that filled the surroundings instantly dissipated and was replaced by George's dragon power.

The orc's rough hands could no longer hold the warhammer, and it fell straight down from mid-air. On that ugly face filled with rage and madness, the emotion called "despair" emerged for the first time.

An orc who has lost his power is worse than a dog.

George did not relax at all. He seized the opportunity, folded his wings, dived straight down from the sky, and stabbed straight down with his hands holding the sword.

"Shh-"

The sharp tip of the sword pierced through, and the wings tore through the surrounding airflow, and George's body was like a flame falling from the sky.

"boom!"

A dull sound resounded through the sky, and a huge pit was smashed into the ground. Sand and gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. The orc lay dying in the pit, unable to move his whole body, but he still shouted hoarsely, "I haven't lost yet."

However, the next moment, George also fell from the sky and fell rapidly. The long sword, carrying the heat and kinetic energy generated by piercing the air, stabbed towards the orc's forehead.

"Crack!"

The long sword pierced the orc's head cleanly, the skull shattered, blood mist exploded, and brain matter splattered everywhere.

George clenched the sword tightly in both hands and half-knelt on the ground. The huge head of the giant mountain had been pierced by him, and the tip of the sword was pierced into the ground. The ugly face of the orc still revealed the resentment and unwillingness before death.

"it is finally over"

George sighed and stood up, but he felt weak all over. He couldn't pull out the sword that was deeply embedded in the ground.

"call"

After experiencing this battle, he felt like he had just had a thrilling dream, and he still felt a little scared when he thought about it.

Looking at the huge and hideous corpse of the orc that was as big as a hill, George couldn't believe that he was the one who caused it.

As an imperial officer, he mainly learned command knowledge and skills in the Army Academy. He was not good at combat, and most of his achievements were leading troops to kill enemy generals.

Before entering the empire, he was just a lowly serf who could be bullied by anyone, let alone any fighting skills.

But now, George actually killed the orc leader alone?
No, he definitely didn't kill the orc by his own strength!

Thinking of the feeling as if there was a sun hidden in his body just now, George suddenly guessed a quite reasonable possibility, and was extremely excited about it, even shaking all over.

"His Majesty."

George gave up standing up and knelt on the ground for a long time, looking up at the sun through the smoke that covered the sky.

Around him, there were not only huge mountains, but also tens of thousands of orc corpses. They were either burned to death by flames, or had their heads chopped off by shrapnel, or were shot into sieves by machine gun bullets, or had their bones crushed by their own kind who rushed up from behind.
The corpses of these orcs were piled up on the wasteland, forming one mound after another, almost covering the earth, and emitting a burnt smell and a certain fishy smell.

Anzeta Wilderness, top of Dragon Blood Mountain.

Cassius looked at the battlefield from afar through the eyes of the Heavenly Tribulation Dragon, staring at the corpse of the giant mountain, stroking his chin: "It's really interesting that the orc leader actually appeared at this time. It seems that they value me very much.

The essence of that power is also very familiar. Tsk tsk. It is indeed the union of the God of Orcs and the Abyss. What a troublesome enemy. "The red dragon shook his head and sighed softly.

But this is in the main material plane, the home turf of the Burning Empire. Here, even if the evil gods and demons join forces, Cassius will not give in.

George's guess was correct.

With his own strength, he is still far from being able to kill the orc leader whose combat power is close to legendary due to the blessing of many orc spores.

It was Cassius who took action just now. With the help of the bond of blood gift, he was granted a little fire containing the law of order, allowing him to successfully kill the mountain.

This process sounds particularly easy, but behind the battle, Cassius was still fighting against the power of Gruumsh and Lady Fungus, destroying the chaotic power and evil divine power they left behind in the giant mountain.

The orc leader appeared in the orc disaster that ravaged the northern part of the Feansor continent in the previous life. He is an extremely terrifying war machine that can gradually grow to the legendary level.

When the density of orcs reaches a certain level and a large number of orcs die, the spores of the dead orcs will gather on the orc with the strongest force field, causing it to undergo some kind of transformation.

Every orc leader is an extremely violent and bloody darling of war, who can grow rapidly and become stronger in the war.

Cassius took another look at the orc corpse next to George and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this famous novice nightmare would die at my hands at this time."

Jushan, another familiar name.

Cassius had also heard of the great name of this orc leader in his previous life, but it was not just Giant Mountain, but Bone Crusher. Giant Mountain.

This orc leader is as famous as Big Fang and is listed as one of the "Four Scourges". During the war, it constantly collected discarded weapons and armor for itself and built a set of super heavy armor.

In the original plot line, it was the Mountain who led an army of hundreds of thousands of green-skinned orcs to first capture Avendeldan, seize many weapons from the dwarf treasury, and obtain the dwarf's blueprints.

After that, the Giant Mountain and his minions conquered everywhere, constantly expanding their territory and plundering everything they could see.

Coincidentally, it was also one of the culprits responsible for the destruction of North Ethel in the previous life. The Great Mountain led several large-scale attacks against North Ethel, slaughtering millions of Ethel people in the process.

In the war offensives launched by the Giant Mountain, the new players of North Ethel were tortured and suffered a lot. Some were even beaten to the point of quitting the game on the spot. (End of this chapter)
