Under the Red Dragon

"I wonder what Karon is hunting this time, so mysterious," the white dragon Gamot muttered towards the black dragon Rosani's rear while nestled in the dragon pack.

"Maybe he found some powerful monster and wants to take us to kill it together." The black dragon Rosani waved his wings dismissively. Ever since he missed his chance during the first wild boar king hunt, he had been enthusiastic about this, not wanting the dragon pack to think he was a weak dragon.

"What are so many kobolds doing down there?" Rosani saw the kobold tribe gathered in the distance. "Karon doesn't want the dragon pack to destroy these weak kobolds, does he? I could accomplish that on my own."

"That's right, oh, glittering gold mine! I smell a strong scent of treasure! Karon, did you bring us here to kill these stinky kobolds and retrieve the treasure!" The greedy Antagena's keen eyes spotted the small mountain of gold and various ores.

There were also some roughly refined gold nuggets of various sizes neatly stacked. Next to the small mounds of gold nuggets were several wooden frames filled with jewelry made of various gems, which was the kobolds' hobby. Thus, sharp shouts rang out in the dragon pack.

The shadows of the dragon pack's wings in the sunlight quickly approached. The terrified kobolds gathered on the ground had already knelt and prayed under the overwhelming momentum of the dragon pack, and some timid kobolds even wet themselves.

The dragon pack landed in front of the kneeling kobolds, the dust raised concealing the short kobolds, but the dragon pack didn't care. Every dragon's eyes were filled with greed as they looked at the treasure piled on the ground, even Akziz.

He had never seen so many gold nuggets before. This was the treasure accumulated over countless years by a kobold tribe of nearly a thousand members, a treasure created by searching and digging underground in the grassland for countless years. Even among adult dragons, few possessed such a large amount of treasure.

The greed born with the evil dragon bloodline occupied the giant dragon's mind. Akziz involuntarily walked towards the small mountain of gold nuggets, not caring that his raised dragon claw crushed two terrified kobolds prostrating on the ground into meat paste.

"You better stop, Akziz. These are my followers, and I won't allow you to harm them. This is also my treasure, and I won't allow you to touch it." The red dragon's warning voice sounded from behind.

Roar, Akziz, already overwhelmed by greed, turned his head and roared frantically, "I am a young dragon in the family, I raised you little whelps. You belong to the family, and these treasures should be controlled and distributed by me. Whoever disagrees, I will kill it, and then its share will be gone."

The young dragons, also driven by greed, were much more sober-minded, and took a step back, hissing angrily. Faced with the threat of the young dragon Akziz, they temporarily did not have the ability to fight back.

Karon did not retreat but advanced, stepping forward, his eyes staring straight at the frantic blue dragon, word by word, "Akziz, blinded by cumbersome greed, show me your so-called power in front of me, and see if you are qualified to dominate my treasure. If I lose, the treasure is yours. If you lose, then submit to me and honor me as king!"

The frantic Akziz immediately became even more violent. The blue dragon, who controlled the storms and lightning in the sky, shot a bolt of lightning from his breath, spread his wings, and took off, accompanied by the blue dragon's cold voice, "Come on, Karon. It seems that the flattery of the little dragons has made you lose your way. I will give you this opportunity to challenge me. Prepare to die, I will not hold back against you."

"Karon," Dos, with a worried face, stopped the red dragon who was about to take off. The blue dragon was famous among the evil dragons for his wisdom. Dos, who prided himself on possessing wisdom, although he was also a giant dragon who advocated strength, he looked down on those giant dragons who only used brute force. Dos had always admired Karon's ability to restrain the chaotic bloodline of the evil dragon, so he liked and respected the red dragon whose rationality was greater than wildness.

"Time is on your side, Karon. We can temporarily put the treasure in Akziz's place, and we can take it back when we grow up and have enough power." The blue dragon knew that the red dragon's power far exceeded his own, and no battle had ever allowed him to do his best, but in his eyes, he still couldn't compete with Akziz.

"Yes, time is on our side," the other young dragons also shed the agitation of greed and helped out. Although giant dragons would become stronger as time went on, and Akziz would become stronger when they grew strong enough, they were a small group. There were many dragons and they had great power, and no young dragon thought that they would be weaker than Akziz in the future.

Only the stubborn little female dragon Kleinaya snorted, her warlike red dragon bloodline driving her to take a heavy step, "Why don't we rush up and kill him now? Karon, as long as you give an order, I will follow in your footsteps and fight, never retreating."

Karon laughed loudly, his thirteen-meter wingspan spread out and he stood upright, looking down at the few young dragons who surrounded him and said happily: "Do you know, I am very happy today, and I also want to know what level I will be at when I go all out."

"Your mission is to take care of my treasure!"

The red giant dragon's loud laughter gradually became manic. The evil dragon's newborn blood was no longer suppressed, and the uncontrollable rage and desire for destruction surged with the bloodline. The giant dragon's deep red and golden scales shone with dazzling light, and the heat emanating from the gaps in the scales turned into a magma aura covering the giant beast. The rapidly surging magic power in the patterns turned the giant dragon's wide wings into a pair of scarlet branding irons. With a manic laugh, the red dragon smashed the ground under his feet and soared into the sky.

In this battle, Karon chose to abandon all skills and consciousness. He handed his body over to the madly roaring evil dragon blood. He wanted to defeat the enemy with pure power and flesh, and then step on him.

Karon didn't care about Akziz, who occupied the favorable terrain, and rushed directly to the blue dragon who was already waiting in the high sky. He expected the blue dragon to swoop down as well. Even if the red dragon was strong, it was impossible for him to overpower the blue dragon at the end of his juvenile stage in terms of strength during the young dragon stage.

Such a physical collision might cause the red dragon to dodge and fall rapidly, or he might be seriously injured. But he would also take the opportunity to tear off the blue dragon who controlled the storm and was more flexible in the sky, and then tear him apart with his claws and body.

But the blue dragon, who was high in the sky, saw the giant dragon with mad eyes, wings turned into fire wings, and covered in magma, like a demon, and an involuntary hesitation and wavering arose in his heart. This was not a deterrent from the dragon's might, but the momentum blooming from the bottom of his heart overwhelmed the blue dragon's mind.

Just hesitated for a moment, Akziz, who missed the opportunity to fight, had to shake his body and avoid the red dragon's impact. At the same time, the blue dragon opened his mouth, and a long-brewing lightning breath passed through the air, rushing away with the ozone smell of scorching air.

The lightning breath was like real lightning, and it approached the rushing red dragon in the next second. This was a speed that was difficult to react to with the naked eye. But the red dragon's eyes had been locked on Akziz's figure. When Akziz opened his mouth, the red dragon had already reacted. Swish, an extremely condensed flame turned into a fist-sized beam of fire and shot out from Karon's mouth. The rapid beam of fire made a sharp whistling sound in the air.

The young blue dragon's lightning breath was much stronger than the young red dragon's flame breath, but the red dragon in front of him was not comparable to ordinary young dragons. The magic flame attached to the condensed beam of fire was also constantly burning the power of the lightning breath. The breaths of the two dragons were actually in a stalemate in the air for a short time.

The blue dragon had to flap his wings to avoid the red dragon's forward impact and try to get close to him, while increasing his strength to suppress the red dragon's flames with his breath. He realized that he could not withdraw his breath first, otherwise he would not only have to endure the attack of the flame breath, but also allow the red dragon to take the opportunity to get close to him and gain the upper hand.

But he couldn't keep dodging like this, so the annoyed blue dragon maintained his breath while chanting dragon language in his throat. This was the spell he had awakened, a treasure found in the blue dragon's inheritance, Lightning Cage. (Giant dragons have special breathing organs. Flexible tongues and special throats allow giant dragons to chant dragon language and release magic in their breath.)

The red dragon's thick and strong dragon horns also lit up, and the magic power was rapidly gathering. The rising high temperature scorched the air, and a fireball was condensed between the six forked dragon horns. The bright flame color rushed towards the chanting blue dragon with a burning high temperature.

The blue dragon closed his eyes, and the lightning breath was still maintained. Boom, the exploding flame interrupted the blue dragon's chanting, and also interrupted the stalemate breath of the two dragons.

Before the flames of the fireball had dissipated, the red dragon, seizing the opportunity, broke through the barrier of the flames and came to the blue dragon. He stretched out his front claws covered with scales that had been blasted with cracks and firmly clamped the blue dragon's slender neck. The power brought by the awakened previous generation bloodline, the domain - Ashes to Ashes, burst out of his body, and the high temperature that wanted to burn everything covered the sky, scorching the air to the point of fluctuation.

The blue dragon, who had recovered, felt the suppression of the red dragon's domain. The magic power that was usually around him and readily available was also being burned. The inside of the domain was turning into a magic desert, and slowly only the red dragon's power existed.

Akziz struggled hard. The power of the young dragon could not be completely suppressed by Karon. The blue dragon's sharp claws cut open the layer of earth element protection covering the surface of Karon's chest and abdomen, and then cut through the metal elements attached to the scales to form an outer armor, and finally broke through the red dragon's solid scales. But the power of the claws ended here, only cutting a few seemingly large but not very deep cuts on the red dragon's body. Hot dragon blood overflowed, igniting the anger of the evil dragon's blood.

The injured evil dragon's anger soared, opened his huge mouth full of fangs and bit on the blue dragon's waving left front paw. The ferocious dragon head twisted left and right, and actually bit off and tore Akziz's left front paw, and the gushing dragon blood spilled on Karon's face, dripping from the high sky mixed with the red dragon's blood. The painful wailing Akziz was also torn off by the angry red dragon and fell heavily from the high sky.
