Ember Dragon

I will move the battlefield first to avoid damaging the palace." Cassius snapped his fingers slowly.

In an instant, the surrounding space became blurred and distorted, and suddenly cracked. Huge space cracks swallowed the female red dragon. In the blink of an eye, she appeared in an unfamiliar and desolate land.

What a terrifying spellcasting ability! I was completely unaware of it and was teleported to another dimension.

She had no chance to resist at all!

Drakaris was shocked. She knew that his majesty's spellcasting ability was extremely powerful, but she didn't expect it to be this strong.

Time and space are like fragile toys in the claws of this emperor and can be easily torn apart.

Seeing this, Drakaris's fighting spirit became even stronger. She believed that only the most powerful enemy could bring out her full potential.

The Red Dragon Emperor in front of him was obviously one of them.

"Come on, Your Majesty Cassius, let me see how big the gap between us is!"

There was endless madness in Drakaris's eyes, and the sturdy dragon body trembled violently with extreme excitement, as if it was about to enjoy a wonderful blessing.

"Haha, this is the first time I've seen someone come to ask for a beating, but..." Casius paused and continued, "I'm worried that I might accidentally beat you to death."

"It would be my honor to die under your full strength." Drakaris replied excitedly.

Cassius shook his head helplessly, then slowly stood up from the throne. Suddenly, the huge dragon body with a length of more than 60 meters was completely revealed in front of Drakaris.

What a giant dragon this is!

The red dragon in front of him had a muscular body and a long, winding tail, like a blood-red mountain.

Thick sulfur smoke and sparks spewed out of the bloody mouth, causing the surrounding air to distort due to the high temperature, forming circles of heat wave ripples visible to the naked eye.

The mere presence of the red dragon brings an oppressive majesty and a violent beauty like a raging fire.

"It's. Perfect."

Drakaris looked at Cassius infatuatedly and couldn't help licking her lips.

Cassius said slowly: "Then the duel begins."

The next moment, Cassius spread his wings that covered the sky and the sun, almost covering Drakaris completely in the shadow of the wings.

The majestic ancestral dragon power poured out like a surging wave, instantly drowning the opponent's soul.

【Zu Long Majesty】

"Om-"

Delacaris only felt a buzzing in her ears, and her body, mind and even soul were completely suppressed - that was the pressure coming from deep in her blood.

At this moment, she was like a swaying boat in a storm, struggling to maintain her sanity and resist the erosion of the dragon's might.

If you are not careful, you will become the other party's slave.

"Kneel down."

Cassius looked down at the female red dragon in front of him and gave orders in a cold tone.

Drakaris's body trembled even more violently. Every organ and every cell in her body seemed to be roaring, wanting to submit to the Red Dragon Emperor.

But Drakaris relied on her strong willpower to hold on and was not controlled by the terrifying pressure.

She let out a low, hoarse sob from deep in her throat: "No, I can't fall here no!"

Then, the sound gradually turned into an excited roar.

Drakaris raised her head and howled to the sky, her whole body wrapped in burning flames and her ancestral dragon blood flowing in her basal blood vessels.

Cassius was slightly surprised: "It's interesting that you can actually block my dragon power."

"Roar--"

Drakaris roared, flapped her wings violently, and pounced towards the Red Dragon Emperor with great momentum and claws.

However, what greeted her was Cassius's sharp claws breaking through the air, and the sound of air exploding was heard at the same time.

"Shh-"

How could it be so fast?!
The shock in Drakaris' heart was beyond words. According to her experience, the larger the creature, the slower its movements.

But this Burning Cinder Emperor was beyond her expectations. His speed was even faster than hers! The power of his claws was so terrifying that it was enough to tear space apart!

Danger!

She twisted her body hard in mid-air, making a strange posture, trying to dodge the slap.

But it was too late now.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a sharp sonic boom, a strong airflow suddenly appeared in the sky, and cracks seemed to appear in the space.

Broken scales fell from the sky, boiling dragon blood splashed everywhere, and the nearly thirty-meter-long female red dragon was knocked away, turning into a red afterimage.

Under this extremely terrifying force, Drakaris' muscles were shattered, her bones were broken, and her body seemed to be ravaged into a ball. She was in an extremely miserable state.

"boom--"

She flew more than a hundred meters away and slammed heavily into the mountain in the distance, causing rocks to crack, mountains to collapse, and dust to rise into the sky.

"Not bad, he's still alive after this." Cassius looked down at his claws and commented lightly.

After all, this female red dragon still has some value, so Cassius did not use his full strength as the other party requested.

Probably used.
Thirty to forty percent of the power?

But this is already extremely exaggerated. You know, Cassius's power attribute is about to break through the forty mark. It is no exaggeration to say that it can destroy the world.

In most cases, even if Cassius used less than half of his strength, his opponent would be turned into pulp and shattered into pieces.

In the ruins far away, Drakaris spat out a mouthful of bright red blood and laughed miserably: "Hahahaha, so this is the power possessed by a being that can fight against the Dragon Queen."

"But one day, I will grow to this level! And now - I haven't lost yet!"

Drakaris slowly climbed up from the ruins and shook her body. The blood of the ancestral dragon was repairing her wounds and allowing her to gradually recover.

She roared, flapped her wings again, took off into the air, broke through the billowing smoke and dust, and appeared in the sky.

Drakaris opened her blood-filled mouth and took a deep breath, greedily absorbing the surrounding fire elemental energy, and flames burst out from the depths of her throat.

"boom--"

The air suddenly exploded, dragon flames poured down like a waterfall, and a cone-shaped breath spurted out of Drakaris' mouth.

Well, standard red dragon breath, without those weird changes of Cassius.

"How dare you use fire breath in front of me?"

"That's really courageous."

Looking at the oncoming dragon flames, Cassius suddenly felt a little funny - it had been a long time since anyone dared to use fire against him.

He possesses authority over the Elemental Plane of Fire, possesses the sub-class of Elemental Master, and even controls the solar power of Amaunator.

Not to mention the breath of Drakaris, even the full-strength attack of the Lord of Fire Elemental could do nothing to him.

Cassius raised his claws calmly, and under the power of the fire element, he instantly turned the dragon flames spewed out by Drakaris into his own.

The flames became more violent and intense, spraying back towards the female red dragon in the sky.

Drakaris dodged in panic, but was still hit by the breath that originated from her own body but was strengthened several times by Cassius, leaving a charred wound on her chest.

Her whole body was burning, and she climbed high into the sky in a panic, avoiding the subsequent flames.

What a terrifying control over the fire element! I can't use dragon breath anymore!

This Burning Emperor is absolutely the most powerful opponent she has ever encountered in her life, no doubt about it.

The gap in strength is too big. Whether it is size, strength, speed or casting ability, the opponent has an absolute advantage.

The Burning Emperor was like an insurmountable mountain, standing in front of Drakaris, making her feel extremely suffocated and even desperate.

But at the same time, she also felt an unprecedented pleasure, as if she was dancing on the tip of a knife, her blood boiling.

Only by fighting enemies of this level can you become stronger.

"But - I also want to let His Majesty Cassius see my power! Let her recognize me from the bottom of her heart!"

Delacaris clenched her teeth and made up her mind.

She spread her powerful dragon wings, circled several times in the sky, and then, seizing the opportunity, dived down into the opponent's blind spot.

"Shh-"

The edge of the dragon's wings tore through the air, making a sharp scream, and Drakaris pounced on Cassius again.

"It's quite powerful, but unfortunately too slow." Cassius commented indifferently.

He raised his left wing and flapped it violently, instantly creating a scorching hurricane that blew Drakaris all over the place and sent her flying backwards.

The next moment, Cassius' figure appeared behind Drakaris like lightning, accompanied by a storm.

He stretched out his strong arms, and grabbed the female red dragon's neck with his sharp claws, then lifted it up into the air like a hunter catching a hare.

"Ow—"

Drakaris struggled hard and let out a hoarse roar.

It twisted its body, flapped its wings, and waved its claws wildly, but to no avail. It had no way of escaping from that tremendous force.

Cassius stared at the female red dragon in his claws and said, "It is beyond my expectation that you have been able to hold on until now, but the disparity in strength makes this battle meaningless."

"This so-called 'duel' - can end here."

Before he finished speaking, Cassius grabbed Drakaris's body, slammed it to the ground, and then picked it up again, several times in a row.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Cassius's movements were so easy, as if what he held in his claws was not a red dragon, but a piece of torn sackcloth.

Only when a huge hole nearly ten meters deep was smashed into the ground did Cassius release his claws, retract his arms, and stop the previous action.

In the deep pit, Drakaris' body was buried in sand, covered with scars and bleeding, and had been ravaged beyond recognition.

"huh, huh"

A faint gasp was heard.

There was not a single intact part of Drakaris' body. Most of the bones in her body were broken and dislocated, and she looked bloody and miserable.

If her body had not been still rising and falling slightly with her breathing, others would have thought it was a dragon corpse.

In Cassius's eyes, the red dragon was already dying, with extremely little life left, and there was basically no possibility for it to continue fighting.

But she never expected that Drakaris would use up all her remaining strength and try her best to slowly climb up from the ruins.
A hoarse sound like sobbing came from the depths of her throat, intermittently and quite weakly: "I haven't lost yet."

"Why bother?"

"Stop, you will die if you continue to fight. Even if you have the blood of an ancestral dragon, you can't withstand such injuries."

Cassius stared at the other party and said calmly.

"Being able to fight the most powerful dragon in the material world is worth it even if I die!"

"Mad man." Cassius frowned and commented briefly.

Red dragons are warlike by nature and are natural war fanatics.

But someone like Drakaris, who came from afar to fight a decisive battle and even risked her life for it, is considered outstanding even among the red dragons.

But Cassius didn't want to kill her, that would be a waste.

As a favored offspring of Tiamat, Drakaris's intelligence is very useful to the empire.

"Roar--"

Drakaris raised her scarred head, spread her broken wings, and howled toward the sky with a trembling throat.

Boiling rage stirred in its heart, and the blood oozing from around its scales turned into scarlet light, enveloping her body.

Those golden pupils were also filled with bloodshot, revealing endless madness and anger, as if their own lives were burning.

"Roar--"

Drakaris was like a raging beast. She opened her bloody mouth and pounced on Cassius desperately, biting him madly.

"Blood Scale Berserker."

Cassius smiled, stretched out his claws and pointed in the direction of Drakaris.

Suddenly, a dazzling white light shot out from the tip of the claw, instantly disintegrating the blood on Delacaris's body.

Then, Cassius raised his claws toward the sky.

"boom--"

Accompanied by a dull roar, thick rock pillars broke out of the ground and rose from the ground.

They were like a giant claw made of rock, trapping Drakaris inside.

Cassius clenched his claws, and the huge claws made of stone pillars also closed, holding Drakaris tightly and making her unable to move.

The female red dragon struggled almost madly, causing the ground to tremble slightly and countless pieces of gravel to fall.

But no matter how she wailed, roared, or screamed, Cassius turned a deaf ear and watched it all coldly.

It was not until the effect of the Blood Scale Berserker wore off that Drakaris, whose vitality was over-consumed, gradually calmed down and said in a weak voice, "Your Majesty Cassius, I lost."

"In the face of your might, everything I have done is like a mere mortal's frolic, not worth mentioning."

The usually proud red dragon lowered her head deeply, finally convinced, and treated Cassius with the most respectful attitude in her life.

But Cassius didn't care about this so-called "duel". He was more concerned about another thing -

The advent of Tiamat.

At least in this era, the barriers of the material world are indestructible, and it is impossible for the gods to descend in their true form.

Then
How did Tiamat come to the mortal world?

Cassius waved his claws, and several beams of light containing the dragon's vitality fell down, shining on Drakaris's body, repairing her body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He stared at the female red dragon in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Dracaris, tell me everything you know." (End of this chapter)
