Under the Red Dragon
#225 - Magic Dragon and the Five-thorn Rose
Although he couldn't clearly see the exact appearance of the goddess on the opposite side, Kalon knew clearly that the goddess avatar descending into the world of Aikania was none other than Kresska, the Dragon God of Magic among the Dragon race, a deity of intermediate power.
This Dragon God was nicknamed the Light of Magic, the Miracle Bringer, and no one knew what her true dragon form was because her appearance was so varied and never fixed.
But considering her magical divine duty, this situation was not surprising.
In Kalon's eyes, these Dragon Gods with greater divine power were more unpredictable than Tiamat, the Dragon Queen, because their powerful divine positions meant that their dragon nature no longer held absolute dominance.
These Dragon Gods, at certain moments, were more like gods than dragons.
This was much more troublesome than the conflict of faith between the Platinum Dragon God and Tiamat, at least for Kalon.
Almost none of the new generation of dragons actively worshiped the Platinum Dragon God or the Immortal Dragon Queen, because these newborn dragons not only had historical lessons.
In the eyes of these arrogant dragons, Bahamut and Tiamat were just two dragons that were a little more powerful than them; they believed they had the potential to stand alongside the gods, and were wildly uninhibited.
Even the blue dragons and green dragons, who used to regard Tiamat as their supreme ruler, were not very interested in her.
In the eyes of many dragon lords of the Gogmora Dragon Clan, the temples in the empire showed that even the sculptures of those Dragon Gods had to be placed behind the dragons in the mortal halls.
The mortal realm was the dragons' home ground.
And this goddess, now descending into Kalon's home ground, he didn't know her purpose.
"Gogmora…,"
The magic goddess Kresska, shrouded in a huge magic halo, whispered the name, her tone seeming to be filled with emotion, seemingly with brewing anger.
Kalon slightly lowered his wings, the burning marks on his wings burning layer by layer, but he maintained a calm state.
Although his condition was not good, and he had exhausted some of his magic power due to his previous full-force actions, using all his strength did not mean using all his means.
"Respected lady, beautiful goddess," the ancestral red dragon now displayed the skills he had honed in his infancy, praising the goddess before him: "Your arrival is like the bright moon in the sky falling to the earth, but how can the vile mortal world be worthy of bearing your beautiful brilliance?"
"I wonder what troubles could have disturbed your vast light, and sullied your feet."
The ancestral red dragon spoke praises, but his dark golden pupils were exceptionally calm, without the wariness of facing a god.
Even Camide, the white dragon who was psychologically closest to the ancestral red dragon, and Kleinaiya and Antajena, the two female dragons who were physically closest to the ancestral red dragon, could not see how much this red dragon still had left.
Although dragons and others outside, after collecting information and researching the emperor of the Golden Empire, learned that this ancestral red dragon, in addition to the power of his dragon form, displayed various different abilities in each battle, because this different from his fellows, more cautious red dragon did not want others to be familiar with his abilities and covered it up.
But perhaps only the blue dragon Doss knew that the ancestral red dragon's habit was entirely because the red dragon himself was not a character who liked to rely on a single method, and was the same as the general direction of the red dragon leading the entire Golden Empire.
The red dragon and his empire were always changing, like living water, endless.
"Puchi,"
The magic goddess, surrounded by a magic halo, stepped forward and stopped not far from the ancestral red dragon.
Her voice was hazy and ethereal, like a voice coming through layers of mist, yet exceptionally clear.
"I've decided, Kalon Gogmora, if you are killed by someone in the future, I will grab your soul, reshape your body for you, and then keep you by my side,"
"You're not like these little guys, who whine all day long and only bother me," the magic goddess Kresska's body was hazy in the halo, but the translucent image in the halo was still beautiful enough to shock the dragons.
Kalon unreservedly stared directly at Kresska's projection, admiring her beautiful body, ignoring the three little dragons angrily whimpering on the goddess's shoulders and head.
Then he said with a smile: "Thank you for your love, but I think I prefer to stay in this mortal world."
The air seemed to instantly become cold, and even the instantaneous change between extreme heat and extreme cold could not compare to the extreme and rapid change of the goddess before him.
"Hehe, little guy, do you think I'm joking with you?" The magic dragon god Kresska's voice suddenly turned cold, with anger in her voice.
"Tiamat, that stinky bitch, that lewd old hag, actually ran in front of me to mock me," Kresska glared her eyes, and at this moment actually revealed her true appearance.
This magic goddess, originally wearing a moon-silk light robe woven like moonlight, so thin that it was transparent, reflecting her milky white skin, no wonder she looked like she was naked in the projection.
But her originally beautiful face was covered with coldness and frost, and her big eyes faintly revealed dragon-like pupils, glaring at the calm-faced ancestral red dragon.
Kresska gritted her teeth and said: "That lewd old mother dragon actually mocked me, she said to me with a high head, 'Ah, Kresska, look, we dragon gods in the mortal world, are respected and believed by the dragons, and are enshrined in the sacred halls, guess who is not enshrined in it?'"
Kalon slightly frowned the scales on his forehead, but did not guess the intention and purpose of the Immortal Queen Tiamat; these powerful existences can be regarded as gods, but most of the time, they should be regarded as dragons with personality flaws.
Tiamat's name as the Evil Dragon Queen came from her advocacy of aimless perversity and willfulness, perhaps doing so was just this old mother dragon looking for fun, it was not necessarily certain.
But Kalon could not easily compromise, even if he knew how to dispel the anger of this Dragon God.
"Even the dragon gods who accept faith cannot control the dragons in the mortal world, let alone you have not favored the Gogmora Dragon Clan. The affairs of the mortal world belong to the mortal world, and the affairs of the gods belong to the gods,"
Kalon said softly, he refused to bear the blame, from his infancy, only he could pass the buck.
Kalon's implication was to let the magic goddess Kresska go back to find Tiamat's bad luck, but Kresska suddenly laughed.
"Haha, but I've been observing you for a while and found that it's a little different from what that old mother dragon said. You should have refused to become her divine attendant, but she values you quite a bit,"
"So I decided to completely erase the possibility of you becoming that stinky bitch's divine attendant, and then let you discard her statue and enshrine my statue."
"And I will help you, erase the aura Tiamat left on you, this aura is enough for me to hate, like declaring her sovereignty over you,"
The magic dragon god Kresska said triumphantly: "As long as you agree to my conditions, I will forgive your faults."
Kalon did not think, and shook his head directly: "The emperor of the Dragon Empire will not become the divine attendant of any god, and the will of the emperor does not allow any existence to interfere, even if it is a god."
"But if you can tell me about the means Tiamat left on me, I believe there is a more beautiful possibility between us."
The magic goddess Kresska's face was like a chameleon, and instantly turned cold again, hanging up the frost, she coldly stared at the unmoving ancestral red dragon.
She sneered: "You mortal dragons always have arrogance towards the gods, it seems I have to teach you a lesson before I can make you lower your head."
"Unfortunately, your reverse scale is a rare treasure, accompanying your growth, enough to compare with the residual crystals of lost civilizations, enough to become a creation in the forge of the gods,"
"If it passes through my hands, it can be used to forge treasures that move mountains and overturn seas," the magic halo on Kresska's body faded, leaving her voice.
"But without the reverse scale, the scales on your body are no longer complete, unable to provide you with powerful protection, even if I can't expend too much divine power to descend, but this warrior is still enough to teach you a lesson."
"Be careful, little guy, Gogmora, don't disappoint me, otherwise I don't mind taking your soul now and keeping me company."
The image of the magic dragon god Kresska completely faded away, replaced by a powerful knight whose aura was like towering mountains, covered with frost and snow, standing before him.
A dangerous aura spread from Kalon's body.
Detection spells and spontaneous perception had already learned the approximate information of the warrior in front of him, and estimated his comprehensive ability to be about level 19 of challenge rating. In the human measurement system, he was already a peak powerhouse below legend.
The main thing is that there are also differences between the same level.
Dragons and humans are completely different. Even ordinary legends do not want to provoke dragons of this level. This can be regarded as a difficult opponent, especially those at the bottom of the chain of contempt, legendary warriors.
And the knight on the opposite side, although only three meters tall, is a dragon, not a human.
That was originally an elite organization composed of high-level guard troops selected from the Giant Serpent Guard, a subordinate organization under the Church of the Evil Dragon God Tiamat—the Five-Thorned Rose Knights.
These dark warriors under Tiamat came from ancient times and were once committed to destroying and slaughtering Bahamut's children—the metallic dragons.
They are the nemesis of good-aligned dragons in many cosmic kingdoms, and are also responsible for hunting down chromatic dragons who have abandoned Tiamat and turned to Bahamut's embrace.
During the once chaotic Dragonfall Era, the confirmed achievements of the members of the Five-Thorned Rose Knights were more than 200 metallic dragons and chromatic dragons.
To this day, the dragon skulls that were hunted down are still hanging in the stronghold of the Five-Thorned Rose Knights as trophies to be displayed.
This also means that the Five-Thorned Rose Knight in front of him is a powerful warrior and warlock with extensive knowledge of fighting dragons and possessing a variety of dragon-hunting techniques, and may also be an excellent spellcaster and a powerful priest and cleric.
And the knight in front of him, in addition to his own strength, also has sufficiently sophisticated and luxurious magical equipment.
He is wearing a dragon scale chain armor made of magical metal, and in his hand is a two-handed sword with a serrated blade. In Kalon's extensive reading knowledge, he knows this magical weapon.
This deadly weapon is named 'Serpent Blade' by the Five-Thorned Rose Knights, a long sword made of emerald poison gems and poison dragon and snake scales for the hilt and blade.
When needed, it will be activated in the warrior's hand into a hissing, venom-spewing serpent, attacking all enemies in front of it.
Even dragons that are nearly immune to toxins and paralysis will have their bodies paralyzed by this highly poisonous venom, and only extremely powerful dragons can resist it.
There is also the Serpent Ring clasped on the knight's gauntlet, which looks like a simple, brass ring with a snake biting its own tail, but it has powerful effects.
Not only is it the authentication token of the powerful magical weapon Serpent Blade in the hand, but even if the enemy seizes the Serpent Blade, it cannot harm the wearer of the Serpent Ring, and it also provides the wearer with poison protection.
At least one or more secondary and advanced enchantments are also attached to this ring.
This made the ancestral red dragon, who had exerted the dragon's treasure appraisal instinct, couldn't help but have the idea of knocking down the knight in front of him and taking off all his equipment.
Even in the eyes of the wealthy Dragon Emperor, this knight's equipment is considered luxurious.
A gust of wind blew, and the chilling atmosphere made people feel cold in their hearts.
The knight's eyes lit up at this moment, staring at the ancestral red dragon's body, and said word by word: "Guilty dragon, stretch your neck and be killed!"
The next moment, the knight wearing steel dragon scale armor strode forward, his heavy feet stomping out turbulent waves of air, and slashing straight down with the Serpent Blade.
Kalon charged up his limbs and pounced head-on at the approaching blade, his right claw jumping with flames and wrapped in mind energy directly gouging at the knight's chain armor at the throat, violently and decisively.
A look of surprise appeared on the face under the knight's helmet, and he instinctively changed his attack to defense, blocking with his sword horizontally.
The burning dragon claw directly collided with the serrated blade, and the serrations scratched a long string of sparks on the dragon claw's scales, and flames splashed.
A surging current was transmitted from the Serpent Blade, like thunder falling, directly shattering the mind energy protection between the ancestral red dragon's claws, before being melted by the red dragon's flames.
The sound of metal clashing was endless, and the faces of both sides were constantly approaching.
Clang, clang, clang,
The sound of metal and dragon claws colliding stopped, and the serrated blade turned into a living poisonous snake at this moment, opening its sharp teeth and biting at Kalon's back of the claw, and the knight kicked out from his leg side, kicking towards the ancestral red dragon's wing bone.
And Kalon gathered his wings and rushed straight, and when the two brushed past each other, the thick dragon tail, like a long chain with barbs, twisted, and the sharply pointed tail tip pierced through the knight's leg armor at the knee.
The brief encounter caused the two sides to erupt with powerful forces the moment their bodies touched. The huge force caused Kalon's four claws to cut deep ravines on the ground, and the knight was also pierced through his leg bone and staggered forward.
Paralyzing lightning lingered on the ancestral red dragon's wing bones, paralyzing toxins caused the ancestral red dragon's flames to melt instantly, and heat burned in the knight's wound. Both sides of the battle possessed terrible elemental abilities.
But the Five-Thorned Rose Knight was obviously more bloodthirsty than the ancestral red dragon. In this situation, he did not choose to resolve the elemental power left by Kalon, but turned back and slashed down again with the great sword.
Red dragons are brutal and known for their quick tempers, but blue dragons, among the chromatic dragons, are usually stable, yet when provoked, they become even more battle-crazed.
The knight before him was a blue dragon who had experienced countless battles.
The great-granddaddy red dragon brandished its claws and fangs, inhaling deeply, causing the air to swirl rapidly. It opened its maw, and dazzling, immense fire erupted, like the first deafening roar of a volcanic eruption.
At this moment, the knight roared, his Great Serpent Blade slashing down vertically to block the attack.
However, facing this scorching heat, he couldn't be sure that this would be enough to stop it.
Thus, the advanced enchantment magic attached to the brass ring—the Great Serpent Ring—took effect.
A second neck grew out from the knight's neck, along with a second head, identical to the original. Both heads simultaneously spewed out violent, scalding lightning breath, to meet the great-granddaddy red dragon's unblockable flames.
This was the spell inherited within the Order of the Five-Petaled Rose—Tiamat's Spawn.
Breath, as one of the dragon's most powerful means of attack, is the most direct clash of power.
The violent lightning breath and the tyrannical pillar of fire, upon colliding, tore the air apart, blasting a massive crater at the center point of the flames and lightning.
Rumble!
The full-force breaths of both sides overturned the ground, kicking up dust that blotted out the sky.
But this time, the blue dragon knight did not rashly attack, because the knight could already sense that, at the end of the dust cloud, the aura of that great-granddaddy red dragon was rising, bringing a strong warning to the knight.
As the dust settled, the great-granddaddy red dragon's body was revealed. The knight saw that the great-granddaddy red dragon raised its head, but it wasn't looking at him, but at a certain corner.
"A quarter of an hour," Caron tilted his head slightly, the six exquisite dragon horns swaying with his movement. He smiled and said, "If he can last a quarter of an hour in my hands, I will grant you any request you have. Conversely, you only need to grant me one request, how about it!"
