Ember Dragon

Erebus laughed bitterly, "Mortal, you are still too ignorant. I am immortal! Alien dragon, even if you have a strong body, you are just a mortal. You will never be able to kill a great demigod!"

"is it?"

Cassius' claws exerted force suddenly, and with the crisp sound of broken bones, the ancient green dragon's neck suddenly broke, and its head was twisted into a strange angle. Its deep eyes stared straight at the Red Dragon Emperor.

Cassius grinned grimly, grabbed the opponent's tail with his dragon claws, and swung the huge body of the ancient green dragon up like a tattered doll, smashing it hard against the hill next to him.

"boom!"

Dust flew everywhere, and the hill collapsed on the spot. The ancient green dragon also vomited blood and broke its ribs, but it was not over yet.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dull noises rang out one after another. The ancient green dragon was swung wildly by Cassius and smashed to the ground again and again, without any resistance.

Soon, the ancient green dragon was lying on the ground dying, blood oozing from the gaps between its scales, its bones were all shattered, and some broken bones even pierced its flesh, exposing it externally, looking extremely miserable.

Erebus struggled and let out a low roar: "How dare you treat a noble demigod like this?"

"What a weak god."

Cassius shook his head and smiled. He knew that it was impossible to truly kill a demigod with physical attacks alone. After all, it was an existence beyond ordinary beings.

Even if this ancient green dragon was torn into countless pieces and every inch of its flesh and blood was crushed into pieces, after several years, months or even days, those fragments would condense and reshape into a brand new dragon body.

What he should do is to use the power of a god to destroy the source of the ancient green dragon's immortality - that is, the Eye of Tiamat.

This ancient green dragon obviously had some ulterior motive, and was probably trying to provoke him and lure him into attacking. Therefore, Cassius just calmly dealt with it, guessing its intentions, and was not in a hurry to kill it with one blow.

But the cultists, Seleucid soldiers and humans who were watching could only see the infamous "Lord of the Swamp" being unilaterally slaughtered by the Red Dragon Emperor, and his appearance was extremely miserable.

"By the grace of Tiamat, Lord Erebus was beaten into this state, he has no power to fight back!"

"Dragons are respected for their strength. Could it be that the Burning Emperor is the true chosen one of Her Majesty the Dragon Queen?"

"As expected of the 'Dragon Prince' with the blood of the Mother Goddess in his veins!"

The cultists were talking in low voices, many of them with admiration on their faces, obviously impressed by this powerful dragon.

The Seleucid soldiers, on the other hand, had solemn and frightened expressions on their faces. Having experienced the disaster of the mad dragon, they could already imagine what kind of tragedy would happen to this land if this red dragon became their enemy.

After all, it is a red dragon, and a red dragon with a cruel and violent nature. Even if it becomes their ally, it is likely to be only temporary.

Suddenly, someone screamed and pointed to the sky.

"Look!"

The Red Dragon Emperor grabbed the ancient green dragon's neck with one claw and, ignoring the dragon's struggle, dragged the huge and ferocious dragon's body towards the depths of the jungle.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Those tall and lush ancient trees were broken by the green dragon's body and fell down in large pieces, crushing countless innocent lives, and then they were burned to ashes by the sea of ​​fire that followed.

Thick smoke billowed and filled the sky above the forest, like a violent beast devouring everything. The ancient green dragon lay in the ruins surrounded by the smoke, barely supporting its body and standing up.

Erebus shook off the ashes on his body. His face was extremely hideous. A sticky liquid mixed with blood and venom flowed from the corners of his mouth. He roared in an extremely hoarse voice: "Alien Dragon! You will never be able to defeat me!"

"You are a rude and arrogant beast, a rebellious son who rebelled against the Mother Goddess, and a despicable person who is unworthy of the name of the Five-Colored Dragon!"

"In that case." Cassius's eyes flashed with ferocity, his sharp fangs bared, veins popped out on his forehead, and he looked extremely angry: "Then I will send you off now!!"

The next moment, the red dragon moved.

"boom--"

With a noisy and piercing roar, the nearly eighty-meter-long dragon body swept through the low sky and turned into a red afterimage. The hurricane it created instantly tore the flowers, plants and trees into pieces wherever it passed, and left a charred gully several meters deep on the ground.

The Red Dragon Emperor opened his bloody mouth as if he could swallow everything. Many extremely terrifying flames containing divine power condensed in the depths of his throat, forming a dazzling ball of light comparable to a supernova, as if it was about to erupt at any time.

The surrounding air was distorted by the high temperature. The magic net and laws were affected by the violent force and became restless. The beams of light released by the ball of light even illuminated the sky, making the onlookers feel their skin burning and their eyes stinging.

"God."

"The aftermath alone is so terrifying."

"What a powerful force this is! The ancient green dragon might die from this blow!"

People were whispering and thinking that the current battle situation was a foregone conclusion and that Emperor Burning Ashes would surely win.

A pillar of fire containing terrifying power also gushed out from the depth of the Red Dragon Emperor's throat and shot straight towards the ancient green dragon a thousand meters away at an extremely fast speed.

But at this moment, the ancient green dragon that was about to be swallowed by the flames raised its head, grinned at the terrifyingly powerful breath, and revealed a weird smile.

"You took the bait, idiot."

Erebus's narrow vertical pupils suddenly enlarged, and countless ferocious dragon shadows emerged in them, releasing an extremely vicious and weird light.

For a moment, whether it was the red dragon passing through the earth, the dust flying in the air, or the oncoming pillar of fire, they were all frozen by the unknown force. The whole world solidified and fell into silence.

Erebus's fanged, blood-oozing mouth opened and closed repeatedly, chanting an ancient prayer:

"Eternal evil, mother of dragons, the raging rage of imprisoned hatred!"

"I offer my soul and ambition to your claws, my greed is my offering to you, my hatred is my praise to you.

In an instant, the shadow of a five-headed dragon that covered the sky and the sun appeared in the sky, and it let out an earth-shaking roar. The "Eye of Tiamat" of Erebus finally descended on the material plane and truly released its power!
What kind of eyes are those!

Each eye burned with pure, raw malice, the embodiment of hatred, greed, destruction, and conquest.

But at the same time, it also gleams with extremely ancient and cunning wisdom that is beyond mortal understanding. When locked by the narrow vertical pupil, people will feel an invisible gravity that almost crushes their bones, as well as a terrifying feeling of their soul being peeled open and examined.

——That is the instinctive fear of lower beings when facing the supreme predator.

Erebus stared at the Red Dragon Emperor closely, and his terrifying eyes released tremendous divine power, like a rushing river, connecting the green dragon and the red dragon.

[Eye of Tiamat: Life Reversal! ]

This is an extremely sinister and cruel magic that can transfer all previous injuries, as well as all damage suffered in the future, to one's enemies.

If the opponent uses a killing move before this, it is equivalent to allowing the enemy to hurt yourself with the sharpest dagger and the sharpest sword.

Time resumed its flow, and the ancient green dragon's flesh and blood began to wriggle, its bones condensed, and its scales grew, and the injuries on its body recovered at an incredible speed.

At the same time, the scales on the Red Dragon Emperor's body were shattered, his skin was torn, blood oozed from the gaps between his scales, his bones were broken piece by piece, and even the wings behind him were broken by that invisible force.

Soon, the red dragon that had just been full of oppression turned into a miserable appearance with bruises all over its body, as if it had been ravaged in a fight.

And the next moment, the pillar of fire containing terrifying power continued to shoot out in the direction of the ancient green dragon with a huge momentum.

Erebus faced the oncoming pillar of fire calmly and sneered, "Alien Dragon, no matter how powerful you are, you are just a pathetic beast! Die under your own breath!"

"boom!"

But at this moment, the pillar of fire in the air suddenly exploded, like fireworks, leaving only countless brilliant flames - it turned out that this breath was just a feint!
"what?"

Erebus's expression changed slightly and he frowned.

In the distance, the wounded Cassius shook his dragon claws and climbed up with some effort. Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, revealing a ferocious smile: "Haha. Do you really think I can't see what you are thinking?"

“The Eye of Tiamat? This boring battle has finally become a little more interesting. However, I dare to face “Her” body, so why would I be afraid of a pair of eyes?”

The Red Dragon Emperor raised his head and roared to the sky with all his might. A terrifying pressure rose into the sky and a scorching wind swept across the earth.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The strong dragon heart beat like an engine, making a dull, rhythmic sound, pumping the hot ancestral dragon blood throughout the body through the basal blood vessels.

Cassius was bathed in blood, and steam with a smell of sulfur gushed out of his body surface. Along with crisp sounds, the exposed flesh and blood rapidly squirmed, the bones grew wildly, and the broken scales were constantly repaired.

This is the terrifying recovery ability of the third generation of ancestor dragons!
The Red Dragon Emperor repaired most of the terrible injuries that would take an ordinary dragon decades or even hundreds of years to recover from, in just a few breaths!
"As expected, this is the bloodline that has received the attention of His Majesty Tiamat."

It would be more appropriate to say "drooling" rather than "attention".

Greed subconsciously flashed in Erebus' eyes, but he quickly came to his senses and realized that if he did not take advantage of the Red Dragon Emperor's serious injury to launch an offensive, the following battle would become more difficult.

The ancient green dragon had to admit: even if he released the Eye of Tiamat, he was not 100% sure of defeating the red dragon.

Thinking of this, Erebus flapped his dragon wings, soared into the air, raised the dragon bone scepter in his claws, and attracted the five-headed dragon phantoms in the sky.

“With every bit of fear I spread, with every city I destroy—glorify your name!”

"Guide my claws, ignite my breath, and help me carve out for you a kingdom of blood and fire in this abominable world! Until the shadow of your five heads covers all things!"

"Ow—"

The five heads all lowered down, opened their bloody mouths, and let out a roar that silenced the world and made all things tremble, emitting an evil pressure that was enough to drive people crazy.

The huge and winding body swam on the earth like a long city wall, surrounding the forest for several miles in radius, imprisoning the ancient green dragon and the red dragon emperor inside, making it difficult for them to escape, and the surrounding sky turned pitch black.

Erebus howled, "Alien Dragon! You have committed the great sin of blasphemy against the gods. There is no escape for you! Majesty Tiamat once gave you a chance to mend your ways - but you wasted it so foolishly!"

Cassius looked at the dark sky and saw at a glance that this was a cage formed by divine power, which was difficult to break with the power of mortal beings.

What's more, there was no need for him to break it.

"interesting."

Cassius raised his head and looked at the imposing ancient green dragon in the sky, holding the shadow of a five-headed dragon in his hand, and said in a stern tone: "It's a good arena. Let's end this battle here."

"It's time to end, pathetic rebel!" Erebus raised the dragonbone scepter high and roared at the Red Dragon Emperor in the distance.

Under the surging divine power, the eyes of the ancient green dragon changed, and its pupils gradually turned into a bright, almost dazzling lightning blue or cobalt blue.

It seemed as if there were tiny electric snakes moving and jumping inside his irises, and their texture was violent and sharp, like sapphires embedded in a storm.

"Let the sky be torn apart by your thunderous roar, and let all the weak be destroyed by the violent breath of thunder—"

Erebus swung down the dragon bone scepter, and dazzling lightning burst out from the eye sockets of the scepter. The blue dragon head in the sky also suddenly stretched out and opened its bloody mouth.

"boom!!!"

Dark clouds rolled in, thunder roared like raging waves, countless lightning bolts fell, accompanied by deafening thunder, and blasted towards the Red Dragon Emperor.

But just before the powerful thunder struck, Cassius's strong and broad wings had completely recovered, intact and able to fly freely.

The Red Dragon Emperor flapped his dragon wings and turned into a red afterimage, shuttling through the lightning and thunder. His figure was like a ghost. The lightning containing the power of the blue dragon followed him like a shadow, but could never touch him at all.

Cassius dodged lightning strikes again and again, moving swiftly and calmly towards the ancient green dragon.

Erebus's expression changed slightly, but he still calmed down, clenched the dragon bone scepter, and pointed it at the Red Dragon Emperor who was rushing towards him.

His eyes changed again, becoming an icy, pale blue like the polar tundra, and there seemed to be tiny ice crystals spinning in his pupils, refracting cold light, emitting primitive savagery, hunger, and a soul-freezing chill.

"Let hope freeze in your coldness, and let all rebels lose their vitality in the cruel winter—"

The cold wind howled, the ground froze, blizzards and hail followed, and the head of a white dragon in the sky stretched out, and a waterfall of frosty white cold current gushed out of its throat. (End of this chapter)
