After the vampire, werewolf, Green Dragon tribe, and Red Dragon launched an attack on Varian, the Golden Dragon Lady, Kaslana, did not say anything more about making them retreat.

Facing an old Red Dragon at the peak of Soul Intent, a Green Dragon in the late stages of its life also a step away from legend, and more than thirty Green Dragons whose strength varied between Gold and Soul Intent, even she faced the danger of falling. However, fortunately, in this city, besides her, there was another Golden Dragon, one of noble blood far surpassing hers. If necessary, she could offer a reward for his intervention.

As a direct descendant of a world-renowned legendary Golden Dragon ancestor and at the Soul Intent level, although it seemed she had not been promoted for long, with her bloodline, handling an old dragon at the peak of Soul Intent was not a problem.

"Little Golden Dragon, what are you thinking about?" Among the Green Dragons summoned by the vampires, the oldest and largest one, with emerald dragon pupils, stared at Kaslana, sending countless blue and white lightning bolts towards the Golden Dragon Lady with her words.

A seventh-level spell, Lightning Storm.

"As a Green Dragon," as the lightning approached, the Golden Dragon Lady waved her staff and set up a spell shield in front of her that flickered with water-blue spiritual light, easily blocking all the thunder, "having such proficiency in spells, you are quite impressive!"

"Impressive? Little girl, you really dare to say." Hearing Kaslana's praise, the Green Dragon, with eyes like jade, was filled with anger.

Being praised by a Golden Dragon younger and less experienced in both age and realm was not something to be happy about; in the eyes of the old Green Dragon, it was a naked insult.

"Let me see, what capabilities does the famous Golden Dragon prodigy really have?" the Green Dragon roared, jealousy evident on her face, and then cast spell after spell: Bone Arrows, Acid Rainstorm, Compressed Magic Sphere, Sword of Darkness, Finger of Death, Lightning Storm...

Watching the dense barrage of spells coming her way, the Golden Dragon Lady remained calm. She waved her staff, unyieldingly releasing spells of the sixth to seventh level in response.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" An ancient Green Dragon and a Golden Dragon in human form clashed in a grand magical duel above the city of Varian, spells colliding and exploding, leaving the dark sky filled with the residual glow of elemental magic—a phenomenon that occurs only after high concentrations of elemental energy merge.

"Roar!" The ancient Green Dragon growled. After a spell exchange, she faced a harsh but undeniable truth: Kaslana's spellcraft far surpassed her own.

Having directly absorbed three attacks from the Golden Dragon Lady, her spell shield was shattered several times, and not a single attack reached the Golden Dragon. Her spells couldn't break through the defenses laid down by the Golden Dragon Lady.

Dragons generally prefer to use their naturally strong bodies for close combat, turning to spell learning only in their old age. Metallic dragons, on the other hand, are born as natural mages.

Thus, realizing she couldn't outmatch the Golden Dragon Lady in spellcasting, the ancient Green Dragon immediately abandoned spell dueling. She dived towards the Golden Dragon Lady in human form, hoping to exploit her apparent weakness in close combat before she could revert to her true dragon form.

Transforming into a human significantly reduces a dragon's melee capabilities, especially for those reliant on close combat, their power diminishes more drastically.

"Sunburst, an eighth-level spell!"

A blazing beam of light shot from the fingertips of the Golden Dragon Lady, hitting the diving ancient Green Dragon squarely.

While exchanging spells with the Green Dragon, the Golden Dragon Lady had been preparing this eighth-level spell. Her mastery of magic was even more terrifying than the Green Dragon had imagined.

Protective auras lit up around the Green Dragon, pre-arranged defensive spells. However, none could withstand the prepared attack from the Golden Dragon Lady.

The protective auras shattered one after another, cries of pain echoed as green scales and dragon blood flew everywhere, the blood corroding the protective barriers it touched.

An eighth-level spell exceeded the Green Dragon's resistance, especially one bolstered by Golden Dragon bloodline, which made the Sunburst far more powerful than any spell cast by a typical Soul Intent mage, piercing through her defenses.

"Kaslana!" The ancient Green Dragon, with a huge gaping wound in her chest, screamed the Golden Dragon Lady's name with malevolence, then flapped her wings to rush at her, wishing to tear her apart.

Jealous of the Golden Dragon's superior bloodline and strength, she couldn't accept that Kaslana was celebrated across Ionian while her own name was only known in a small kingdom. She refused to accept this.

"Roar!" Behind the long-legged Golden Dragon Lady, the noble and elegant shadow of a Golden Dragon roared, then began to solidify rapidly, while the silhouette of the Lady faded until she completely disappeared, and the Golden Dragon shadow became fully corporeal.

The staff in Kaslana's human hands rose, landing in the now fully materialized Golden Dragon's claw, and then, what was a mere two-meter-long staff to the dragon, quickly expanded, turning into a giant... war hammer?

"Boom!" Facing the diving ancient Green Dragon, Kaslana, who had reverted to her true Golden Dragon form in an instant, swung the staff, now a thirty-meter-long war hammer, directly hitting the Green Dragon's raised head crest.

"Boom!" The massive body of the ancient Green Dragon instantly turned into a green meteor, flung away.

"Roar!" The ancient Green Dragon, hit by Kaslana's staff into the outskirts of the city, climbed out of the huge crater she had created and roared upwards, "Join me, kill her!"

Initially intending to prove herself in a duel with the Golden Dragon Lady, the ancient Green Dragon, realizing she couldn't match Kaslana in either magic or melee, instantly shed all pride, calling upon the Soul Intent Green Dragons that came with her, preparing to gang up on the Golden Dragon Lady.

If one dragon couldn't prevail, what about seven?

Below the city, Muria, who was watching the battle from a rooftop, saw that the Golden Dragon Lady seemed about to be attacked by seven Soul Intent Green Dragons, and the situation looked grim. Extending her mental energy, she reached out to the now elegant Golden Dragon:

"Do you need help, Sister Kaslana?"
