Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

"Gods." A Silver Blood Army soldier murmured involuntarily when he saw the monster slowly revealing its head. "What is that?"

The ring-shaped body is wrapped in a rock-like shell, and it crawls out of the ruins like a huge worm, but these monsters have lizard-like heads, and their fine teeth rub like sharp blades, making a headache-inducing sound.

The places where the eyes of these monsters should be are burning with blood-red flames, which is weird, but in the eyes of Longzel and others, there is a different kind of beauty.

Ray, who was protected in the middle by his brothers, suddenly thought of a creature he had learned before, but before he could speak, the monsters suddenly accelerated.

"Unsullied formation!" Silver Scorpion roared, pulled down the armor, and the Unsullied in the team lined up in a row, and the javelins were thrown at the worm monsters that were moving faster.

Without any time to stop, Aslan Longdel and Amos Fezel immediately united the surviving Silver Blood Army soldiers and raised their long axes. To cover the Unsullied's javelin.

"Don't fight too long." Longzel stood in the formation. "Everyone retreat inland." He had just activated a blood magic that he had mastered. The effect of this magic was very simple. It could judge danger by sensing the fluctuations of blood in the outside world. This magic, which he named "Blood Sensing", together with his other blood magic that he had been using all the time, "Blood of Prophecy", which could judge danger by the temperature changes of his own blood, was his important means of saving his life.

Although the liquid flowing out of those worm monsters was as hot as magma, it was essentially a kind of blood, so he could naturally sense it.

The butler "Long-winged Dragon" Yamor, who was responsible for guarding them closely, raised a long-handled battle axe. He was seven feet tall (about 2.1 meters) like a giant, always keeping a close eye on those worm monsters.

The effect of the first round of spear throwing was still very obvious. Several worm monsters were directly nailed to the ruins and the ground by the spear throwing. They seemed to feel that these strange things in front of them were not easy to deal with. Although more worm monsters were still crawling towards them, their speed slowed down a lot. Only a few larger worm monsters were still approaching.

The spear throwing lost its effect. The rock shell on the surface of the worm monster was smoother and harder than expected.

The largest worm monster dodged the last round of spear throwing by the Unsullied, and suddenly opened its mouth. A large ball of blood-red flames slammed into the Unsullied in formation. Then several smaller worm monsters swam quickly in the flames. Trying to break through the formation after the big worms burned the Unsullied to death.

Unfortunately, they were disappointed. The armor on the Unsullied emitted a silver and red glow, and the blood-red flames burned their bodies, but they could not cause effective damage at all.

The red-robed monk Malach, who had been preparing beside Longzel, was finally ready. The tattoo on his face burned like a flame. The red-robed monk opened his arms and gently pushed. The large flame suddenly stopped and then burned in the opposite direction. Several small worm monsters that were close to him burned directly and rolled on the ground.

The silver scorpion raised his spear and shook his head to signal the Unsullied to stab. The Unsullied raised their spears in unison. With a stab, the spears that also flashed silver-red light neatly penetrated the rock shell of the worm, followed by the battle axes of the Silver Blood Army. Several worm monsters that rushed over like long snakes were directly cut off by the battle axes, and the blood like magma fell, stirring up bursts of black smoke.

The worm monster rolled in pain, but was held tightly by the spear of the Unsullied. Lynn and Ago took a step forward at the same time. Lynn chopped the body, Ago chopped the head, and the long sword and arakh fell almost at the same time, followed by the "black skirt widow" who passed quietly.

As if sensing the danger, the worm monster rolled on the ground, regardless of the other worm monsters nearby, and spewed out large mouthfuls of flames as if they were free.

Then it stopped abruptly.

Ago's sharp arakh split the hard shell of the lizard head of the worm monster, and Longzel's Valyrian steel sword gave it the final blow.

The lizard head of the worm monster fell to the ground without life.

Everyone took the opportunity to retreat quickly with the help of the Unsullied formation. In the distance, more and more monsters of the same size as the worm monster just now raised their heads.

In the distance, there was a huge figure like a mountain range that was also slowly crawling.

Longzel concentrated his mind, clenched his hands, and activated the magic left in everyone's blood. "Everyone, disperse and gather at the hills behind!" After saying that, he and Valar tacitly dispersed with a team and ran to the hills behind. The red-robed monk was not vague either. With a wave of his hand, he cast a large amount of flames to cover the retreating people.

The huge figure like a mountain finally raised its head. He looked around in confusion, then opened his mouth, revealing a throat that looked like a dark red sun.

It was a worm monster that was magnified countless times. The huge lizard head was burning with black flames. Compared with its breath, the worm monster just now was as ridiculous as a candle touching a volcano.

A large area of ​​ruins was instantly ignited by the black flames, and countless worm monsters rolled painfully in the flames and turned into ashes.

The giant beast shook its head in confusion and lay back in its original position.

Everyone showed their heads from behind the hills.

"What kind of monster is this?" Valar looked at the still burning ruins with some fear. Longzel thought of more.

Neither Valar nor Rey knew that they had actually seen a living dragon. At that time, he was not yet young, his mother was still alive, and Rey was not yet born, but he had already learned from his father and tried to manage the affairs of the family.

At that time, he saw a dragon that was somewhat similar to the monster he saw today, with the same slender neck, the same head full of sharp teeth, and the same powerful flames, but the blood-red dragon was full of real beauty, not the weird twisted beauty of the worm monster.

"Bloodthirsty Giant Worm" Korakshu, the companion and mount of Prince Daemon Targaryen of the Sunset Lands.

At that time, the prince had a big conflict with his brother, Viserys I of the Targaryen family. The dissatisfied prince and "Sea Snake" Corles Velaryon gathered an army together to capture cities in the chaotic Stepstone Islands, and went to the Free Trade Cities from time to time to accept the offerings of the governors.

His father was no exception. He invited the prince to his mansion in the name of the nobles of Volantis and Princess Senyla, and sent a large amount of property and 200 elite soldiers.

Longzier didn't know what his father had a secret conversation with Prince Daemon. Anyway, the prince was very friendly to him when he left. He also taught him swordsmanship in person and showed him the Valyrian steel sword "Dark Sister".

It was indeed an exquisite and gorgeous rapier, much better looking than his own "Black Widow".

Later, his mother died shortly after giving birth to Rey, and Prince Daemon personally rode a dragon to mourn. However, not long after returning to King's Landing, Prince Daemon, who had eased his relationship with Viserys I, fell out with the courtiers and the king again and was permanently exiled by the king. The frustrated prince visited the manor of the Vareses family many times in those years and enjoyed hospitality. Until he married Lady Laena Velaryon and settled in Pentos after marriage. His father also sent a wedding gift to Prince Daemon.

Later, Prince Daemon and Lady Lannare also visited Volantis together and stayed at the manor of the Vareses family. However, Longzier did not see Korakshu or Lady Lannare's dragon Vhagar, the world's greatest dragon.

Of course, the manor that had received the dragon and the prince has now been sold.

Longzier suspected that the secret agreement between his father and Prince Daemon was related to the dragon. After all, his ultimate goal was to obtain a dragon and realize his family's long-cherished wish. But he also understood that the Targaryen family, which monopolized the dragon, would not allow outsiders, uh, unclose outsiders, to master the dragon. Although the most extreme Jaehaerys I had passed away, the Velaryon family still had dragons. But he couldn't take the risk.

But the prophecy showed that he had to return to Westeros. As a blood witch who has mastered supernatural power, Longzel deeply understands a truth. On the chessboard of the gods, mortals are always just chess pieces. Even if they disobey the predetermined fate, it will be realized in another form.

Unless he can use this predetermined fate and jump up to slap the gods.

He can only hope that the things his father buried in the past will take effect.

He is not unprepared. Once this exploration successfully obtains a dragon or a dragon egg that can be hatched, then his backhand will also be activated.

I hope everything goes well.

While thinking, an Unsullied suddenly fell backwards straight, and Silver Scorpion immediately raised his spear to separate everyone. "Don't get close."

Silver Scorpion remembered that in the previous battle, this soldier was bitten by a dying worm monster.

The Unsullied silently let his flesh fester, emitting thick smoke like burning. Longzel tried to activate blood magic to save him. But he found that there was no blood in his body.

There was only boiling flames, and countless particles rose and fell on his skin.

Bang.

A pustule exploded, revealing a fleshy miniature worm monster.

The red-robed monk Malach immediately reached out and squeezed hard, and the flames in the body of the Unsullied rose, burning the worms under the rising and falling pustules.

"This is a fire dragon worm!" Rey shouted. "I've read it in a book, this is a fire dragon worm!"

Longzel immediately realized what it was.

Fire dragon worms are a mysterious creature recorded in the history of Valyria. They usually live underground or inside volcanoes. They have the ability to spit fire and their bodies grow larger over time. After the destruction of the Free Fortress, some scholars who insisted that dragons were magical creations believed that the origin of dragons might be related to this monster.

"But shouldn't fire dragon worms be active inside volcanoes or underground?" Lynn asked in confusion.

"Look." The young man with golden eyes, Hoffa, pulled Lynn's armor and motioned them to look behind the hills.

"Is this a dragon?" Longzel's eyes widened.

Behind the hills was also a huge ruin, with collapsed buildings, cracked crust, black fog and rivers like magma.

Next to a collapsed tower in the ruins, the skeleton of a giant dragon can be vaguely seen wrapped in the ruins.

Everyone then noticed the discord of the ruins.

There seemed to be a lot of newer things inside, surrounding the skeleton of the giant dragon.

"We may have found what we are looking for."

Valar murmured.
