Ashen Dragon

Erebos let out a bitter laugh: "Mortal...you are still too naive...I am immortal! Variant Dragon, no matter how strong your physique, you are still just a mortal, and you can never kill a great demigod!"

"Oh, really?"

Cassius's claw suddenly exerted force, accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking, the neck of the Ancient Green Dragon snapped suddenly, its head twisted at a strange angle, those deep eyes staring straight at the Red Dragon Emperor.

Cassius let out a savage laugh, grabbing the other's tail with his dragon claw, swinging the enormous body of the Ancient Green Dragon like a ragged puppet, and slammed it fiercely against a nearby hill.

"Boom!"

For a moment, dust flew up, the hill collapsed on the spot, and the Ancient Green Dragon spat blood, ribs broken, but this was not the end—

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dull thuds rang out consecutively, the Ancient Green Dragon was swung around crazily by Cassius, smashed to the ground repeatedly, with no power to resist.

Soon, this Ancient Green Dragon lay dying on the ground, blood seeping from the gaps in its scales, bones shattered, and even broken bones piercing through flesh, exposed outside, looking particularly miserable.

Erebos struggled, letting out a low growl: "How dare you treat a noble demigod like this..."

"Such a weak god."

Cassius shook his head with a laugh, he knew that mere physical attacks couldn't truly kill a demigod, as it transcends mortal existence.

Even if he tore this Ancient Green Dragon into countless pieces, crushed every inch of its flesh into fragments, in years, months, or even days, those shards would reassemble, recreating a new dragon body.

What he needed to do was destroy the Ancient Green Dragon's Source of Immortality with divine-level power—that being the Tiamat's Eye.

And this Ancient Green Dragon clearly had a scheme, perhaps deliberately provoking, luring him to attack, so Cassius was only calmly sparring, guessing the other's intent, not eager for a killing blow.

But the observing cultists, Seleucis soldiers and humans could only see this infamous "Lord of the Rot Swamp" being one-sidedly slaughtered by the Red Dragon Emperor, with a particularly miserable appearance.

"By Tiamat... Lord Erebos was beaten into such a state, completely powerless to fight back!"

"Giant dragons regard strength as supreme, could it be that the Ashen Emperor is truly Her Majesty the Dragon Queen's chosen one?"

"No wonder they call him the 'Dragon Prince' with the blood of the Mother Goddess flowing within!"

The cultists whispered, many with faces full of admiration, clearly already captivated by this powerful giant dragon.

Meanwhile, the soldiers of Seleucis looked grave, faces full of fear, having experienced the disaster of the frenzied dragon, they could already imagine, if this Red Dragon became their enemy, what kind of tragedy would befall this land again.

After all, it was a Red Dragon, and a naturally ferocious and tyrannical Red Dragon, even if it became their ally, it was highly likely just temporarily.

Suddenly, someone screamed and pointed to the sky.

"Look quickly!"

I saw the Red Dragon Emperor grab the Ancient Green Dragon's neck with a single claw, dragging the massive, menacing dragon body towards the depths of the dense forest despite its struggles.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The tall, lush ancient trees were smashed by the body of the Green Dragon, toppling in patches, crushing countless innocent beings, followed by a sea of fire that swept in, burning everything to ashes.

Thick smoke billowed, spreading over the forest canopy, like a violent giant beast devouring everything, and the Ancient Green Dragon lay in the ruins within that smoke, barely supporting itself, standing up.

Erebos shook off the ashes on his body, his face extremely hideous, a mix of blood and venom dripping from the corners of his mouth, letting out an immensely hoarse roar: "Variant Dragon! You can never defeat me!"

"You rude, insolent beast, a traitor against the Mother Goddess, a shameful one not worthy of the five-colored dragons' name!"

"Since it's like this..." Cassius's eyes flashed fiercely, baring sharp fangs, veins throbbing on his forehead, appearing extremely furious: "Then I shall send you on your way now!!"

The next moment, the Red Dragon moved.

"Boom——"

Amidst the deafening, piercing roar, that nearly eighty-meter-long massive dragon body swept across the low sky, becoming a scarlet afterimage, the resulting hurricane instantly shredding the flowers, grass, and trees in its path to pieces, leaving a several-meter-deep charred trench on the ground.

The Red Dragon Emperor opened its maw wide like a blood-red abyss capable of devouring everything, gathering various extremely terrifying, divinely powered flames in the depths of its throat, forming a dazzling sphere of light comparable to a supernova, ready to erupt at any moment.

The surrounding air warped in the high temperature, the Magic Web, and the Laws were all affected by that raging power, becoming restless and anxious, beams of light from the sphere even illuminated the sky, making the spectators feel their skin burning, eyes stinging.

"God..."

"Even the aftermath is so terrifying..."

"What kind of power is this! That Ancient Green Dragon is probably going to die from this strike!"

People whispered, believing that the current battle was already without suspense, and that the Ashen Emperor would surely achieve victory.

And a pillar of fire containing terrifying power spouted from the depths of the Red Dragon Emperor's throat, shooting rapidly towards the Ancient Green Dragon a thousand meters away.

But just then, the Ancient Green Dragon, about to be engulfed by the firelight, suddenly raised its head, facing the terrifying Breath with a sinister grin.
