Ashen Dragon

"How dare you—"

Goraz Dera roared, eyes swirling with chaotic thunderstorms, dark clouds surging accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion as lightning bolts capable of shattering mortals into fragments struck towards the Red Dragon Emperor.

"Damn traitor, you're courting death!" The voice of the Ancient Blue Dragon was like the simultaneous roar of ten thousand thunders, making one's heart tremble.

Cassius did not dodge; he merely hovered in place, slowly flapping his dragon wings. The scalding dragonflame spewed out from behind him, fusing with the lightning.

In an instant, lightning danced, flames roared, and flowing flames intertwined with electric arcs in the high sky. That vast wave of energy swiftly spread, flattening the hills below into charred craters, yet both giant dragons remained unscathed.

This was merely a probing clash between two giant dragons, bringing forth a terrible momentum akin to the descent of a scourge.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cassius also carefully observed the Ancient Blue Dragon, known by many with fear as the "Thunder Tyrant."

[Thunder Tyrant - Goraz Dera]

Challenge Level: 38

This Ancient Blue Dragon was over sixty meters long, its figure agile and strong. Although much smaller compared to Cassius, this cheat-like entity, it far exceeded the limits of dragons, a testament to its noble Ancestral Dragon Bloodline.

The most formidable was her elemental control ability; Goraz Dera could control thunderstorms spanning over hundreds of kilometers, manipulate electromagnetic fields at will, and unleash terrifying thunder capable of annihilating everything.

In this regard, even Cassius, who possessed both True Dragon Sorcerer and Elemental Master casting professions, found himself lacking.

Moreover, Goraz Dera was endowed with an immortal divine body by Tiamat, her exaggeratedly large horns emitting frenzied lightning, twinkling like a supernova explosion, containing immeasurable vast divine power, providing this Ancient Blue Dragon with endless energy.

In terms of paper strength, Goraz Dera's power far surpassed Erebos, no wonder the Green Dragon Sect could only occupy the northern lands of Seleucid and could never expand further.

Yet Cassius also keenly noticed Goraz Dera's weakness.

Perhaps having undergone Tiamat's repeated brainwashing, always under extremely repressive mental control—the mind of this Ancient Blue Dragon was somewhat unsound, seemingly also with a bit of frenzy disorder.

Thinking of this, Cassius grinned, revealing a menacing smile as he mercilessly mocked: "Who do you think I am? Human, Dwarf, or Elf?

Using such feeble attacks to try and end me, aren't you being overly delusional?"

Goraz Dera stared unyieldingly at the Red Dragon Emperor, eyes filled with murderous intent, with a touch of seriousness.

Cassius' title as "Dragon Prince" had been circulating the Multiverse for a long time, always scoffing at it, considering it the mortals' misconception.

After all, the aberrant species among the dragonkin were countless, but those who truly could transcend the Material Plane and touch the Divine Realm were few and far between.

But only after personally seeing this Red Dragon did Goraz Dera realize that the other's strength far exceeded her imagination: this Red Dragon, over eighty meters long, had a powerful and robust physique, possessing a sense of perfection beyond the Material Plane, constantly emitting faint divinity and an aura of immortality.

The experience and consciousness of the Ancient Blue Dragon told her—this was by no means an ordinary Red Dragon, but a monster binding Ancestral Dragon Blood, giant dragon divinity, and various vast divine powers.

No wonder this Red Dragon defeated the failure that was Erebos, even someone as strong and confident as Goraz Dera had to take this formidable opponent seriously.

The Ancient Blue Dragon opened her thunder-filled maw, her voice booming like muffled thunder, powerful and sonorous.

"Cassius, your fate was sealed at the moment you chose to betray His Majesty Tiamat, betraying the Five-Colored Dragon Clan—that is to become a sacrifice for Her Majesty the Dragon Queen..."

Cassius shook his oversized head, sighing deliberately as he said: "My destiny has always been in my own hands, no one can choose for me.

As for you, from the moment you chose to abandon your individual consciousness and convert to Tiamat, your fate was already unchangeable—that is to become a puppet of that old witch, reduced to a vessel for her descent into the mortal world."

"You're babbling nonsense!" Goraz Dera's face changed drastically, instantly infuriated, enveloped in crackling lightning, surging violently.

For some reason, this Ancient Blue Dragon about to ascend to the Divine Realm felt as if something in her mind kept fluttering about, seemingly deliberately blocked, allowing her to only feel emotions of anger and annoyance.

Cassius sneered and said: "So what you're saying is—Tiamat, universally recognized throughout the Multiverse as extremely frugal, would voluntarily grant her immortal divine body to a follower, willingly expending her own divinity to support the other becoming a True God?

Seems our Dragon Queen is indeed a generously giving deity, ha, Goraz Dera, don't you think this sounds like a ludicrous fairy tale?"

"Shut... shut up!"

The Ancient Blue Dragon bristled with bulging veins, eyes flashing with arcs of electricity, entirely engulfed in a state of wrath, a flood of thunderclouds pouring out from her enormous body.

A hoarse and sinister female voice echoed through the void: "Kill him, eliminate this shameful blasphemer, he will become your greatest obstacle on the path to becoming a god!"

Upon hearing that voice, the Ancient Blue Dragon gradually calmed down, her gaze becoming once again resolute and ruthless.
