Under the Red Dragon

Time seemed to drift away, and all sounds in the hall vanished.

A sense of dread was born from the dragon bloodline, rising in the hearts of all beings within the hall.

Those dark golden pupils, their radiant light blazing, caused all creatures facing the progenitor red dragon to feel an ancient fear existing in their very life essence.

Like wild dogs in the forest catching the scent of a tiger, the fear from the wild dogs' genetic bloodline made them tuck their tails between their legs.

The mandate of Heaven is inviolable, and the king's command must not be defied!

Even the elven princess Ajani could not muster the will to resist this deepest dragon majesty, despite being an outstanding genius of the gold elf clan, despite the elves being a race blessed by nature.

But Ajani felt that her mental sea, under the will of the progenitor red dragon, was like a babbling brook, which could be swept away by the storm of the sea at any time.

Even Celia's transformed humanoid form was broken by the binding of the transformation spell in the progenitor red dragon's blazing pupils, involuntarily turning into a dragon covered in black phosphorescent scales, hissing lowly.

The dragon whelps in the hall were seeing the true form of the empire's dragon emperor for the first time.

The original worship and reverence for the progenitor red dragon's power and unique appearance had now turned into endless fear. One by one, the young dragons buried their heads under their wings, like eaglets seeking shelter under the wings of a female eagle, trembling, the scales colliding with the sound of metal friction.

Even Achilles, the behemoth of the empire, a descendant of the ancient Behemoth bloodline, had never faced the true power of the progenitor red dragon, even though he faced the progenitor red dragon daily.

Even just the progenitor red dragon's will made Achilles feel like he was standing at the foot of the Dragon Mountain Range, looking up at the highest peak of the mountains every time.

The nagas dared not move at all, for fear that an accidental action would invite the pounce of the terrifying dragon sitting on the emperor's crown seat.

The vast hall seemed to be only a short distance away from the progenitor red dragon, and the majestic pressure followed like a shadow.

The naga queen followed the progenitor red dragon's gaze, silently waved her hand, and signaled all the nagas to disperse separately. The divinely favored eight-armed naga, Garun, did not doubt the progenitor red dragon's vision. She quietly took a step back and said coldly, "All nagas, drop your weapons, those who resist will die!"

In this unspeakable fear and majestic pressure, a strange change, accompanied by mental screams and shocks, surrounded and impacted the surroundings.

Those naga guards who did not have time to disperse were all powerful warlocks and warriors among the four-armed nagas, possessing a more tenacious mind than mortals.

But in this terrifying scream and mental shock, one strong naga after another was easily shocked, and even many of the elven guards in the opposite elven mission were shocked by this sudden mental explosion.

Like ordinary beasts shocked by the powerful dragon's dragon might, these nagas and elves were dizzy, disoriented, and could not distinguish east, west, north, south, up, and down.

Even the subjective self-awareness was briefly scattered by this terrifying mental explosion. Without the concept and consciousness of a biological subject, they were like flesh puppets and stone statues, standing there blankly.

Streaks of blood flowed from the five sense organs, mouths, noses, and eyes of these nagas and elves, looking particularly terrifying.

Only the naga queen, the divinely favored naga Garun, and the elven princess Isabel Ajani could withstand this mental shock, but their faces also showed painful expressions. Even Celia, the dragon, was briefly affected.

Several rays of magic and magical power appeared on these powerful beings. That was the power of the leaders and the magical secret treasures they wore coming into play.

The speed at which this mental shock erupted was so fast that it spread almost at a speed that could not be detected by the mind, but it was instantly twisted and enveloped by a more powerful force, preventing the power of this mental shock from spreading further.

Crack. Kalon Kogmora's huge claws stretched forward, and the almost unimaginable mental energy under his majestic will crushed this elusive force.

The progenitor red dragon's face was as cold and hard as iron, and he indifferently watched the female four-armed naga who was undergoing strange changes.

Bo, bo, bo,

The four-armed naga trembled all over, and the huge pupils in her eyes became completely black. One tentacle after another drilled out of the four-armed naga's eyes and mouth, like living things with life.

These four wet, octopus-like tentacles were still stained with some white brain matter. Under the red and white brain matter, there was a layer of reflective, disgusting mucus, dripping onto the floor of the hall drop by drop.

Pa.

Under the huge force, the entire head of the four-armed naga was lifted off by the four thick tentacles. A gurgling sound rang out briefly, and the entire naga's head rapidly shriveled. A small bulge grew rapidly, and was replaced by a newly born monster's head.

There were no pupils on this monster's head. The entire head looked like an octopus. Four thick tentacles occupied half of the entire face. No creature could see whether the mouth hidden under the tentacles existed.

The four-armed naga's body was also completely transformed at the moment the monster's head rose. The original fair skin turned pale purple, looking like cold elastic rubber, without the fleshy texture of a living being. A layer of disgusting reflective mucus wrapped around the body, like a layer of magical protection.

This was a mind flayer, also known as an illithid.

In many mages' records, these disgusting monsters would cooperate with the aboleths at the bottom of the deep sea and form an alliance.

This was not only because these two monsters had almost the same goal—to conquer all races and bring the world under their rule, using other races in the world as livestock.

It was also because the origins of the aboleth and mind flayer races were equally ancient and powerful.

In some ancient records, the mind flayer race was said not to be a race that existed in the present world. These disgusting monsters came from a future era.

In that future era, mind flayers worshiped their own race's god—Ilsinore.

Under the command of the god worshiped by the mind flayers, these disgusting monsters occupied the future universe, became the only rulers, regarded all races as livestock, and established a multi-universal empire belonging to the mind flayers.

But all the matter and worlds in the future universe were facing unprecedented destruction.

The gith, who were enslaved by the mind flayers, developed resistance to the mind flayers' psychic control spells after a long period of enslavement and launched an unprecedented rebellion, which accelerated the destruction in the universe.

Therefore, these mind flayers gathered all the remaining power of the mind flayer empire, used an extremely powerful psychic spell, absorbed the energy of thousands of suns that were still lit in the universe, and rewrote the reality of the multi-universe where the mind flayer empire was located.

These mind flayers forcibly twisted the timeline to the timeline where the gith rebellion did not exist and the mind flayer empire never collapsed.

But even beings as powerful as gods cannot rashly distort time and space. The survivors of these mind flayer empires were scattered throughout the infinite multi-universe in the distortion of time and space, dispersed from the future time and space to various places in the current universe.

The mind flayers avoided the ending of complete destruction, but the world was presented to them in a completely new face.

At least in Kalon Kogmora's understanding, the gith in this universe now regarded hunting mind flayers as the gith's coming-of-age ceremony.

Mind flayers were certainly powerful, but the gith were born with strong psychic resistance. Most importantly, these gith, under the operation of the previous leader, received help from Tiamat, the five-colored dragon god, the strong one in the Nine Hells—the Immortal One.

This meant that mind flayers not only had to face the gith, but also had to face red dragons.

And this mind flayer did not seem to have a better ending than its compatriots, because it was facing a group of dragons.

"Let me leave, dragon. We mind flayers will not hold you accountable for destroying our great plan. If mind flayers rule the world again in the future, we will promise to give you the power to rule the land for us."

The mind flayer's thick tentacles moved like an octopus, but it communicated with psychic power, and the powerful psychic frequency was converted into meanings that all races could understand.

But these ancient races may still be immersed in the glory of the past and have not recognized the situation they are facing.

One dragon lord and dragon king after another sat peacefully, and the indifferent sneer was especially terrifying between the bared fangs.

The psychic spell and mental shock of this mind flayer just now could not even cause a ripple in these dragons.

"Kneel down, you disgusting monster, and beg the empire's emperor for forgiveness. Maybe you can still get the dragons' forgiveness, otherwise, you will stay here forever!"

The white dragon Sloka took the initiative to speak, and the deep dragon language sounded.

This male white dragon was like a big cat about to hunt and pounce. Its huge wings were spread out, its thick hind limbs were on the thick carpet, and its huge front paws were already lowered, and its body was bent.

"Although you dragons are powerful, if you dare to hinder the plans of the ancient mind flayer empire and the deep-sea king aboleth, you will be drained of your brains like those nagas, your memories and personalities will be plundered, and you will become puppets without autonomous consciousness,"

The mind flayer shouted in a vibrating mind, "If you dare to attack me, you will face an extremely miserable end. The mind flayer empire will use you as experimental materials and transform you all into brain eaters!"

Kalon's cold and hard cheeks suddenly curled up slightly, revealing his huge fangs. He chuckled, "You have a lot of ideas. Then throw you into the laboratory and let the empire's mages ask you how great your plan is!"

"Roar," the white dragon Sloka roared, having received the progenitor red dragon's permission.

"You are looking for death. You dare to disobey the will of the Dragon King in the dragon's court, ignore the will of the dragons, you damned reptile!"

The male white dragon Sloka, who had been prepared for a long time and was eyeing him like a tiger, finally waited for this moment, finally waited for the moment to fulfill his wish.

The thunderous roar burst out between the white dragon Sloka's fangs. The huge body of this male white dragon crashed into the mind flayer with unprecedented power and speed. The dragon horns on the huge head were ferocious, and it was a naked siege weapon.

A strong psychic light erupted from the mind flayer's body. It was a mental interference and mental shock that was countless times more powerful than before, turning into an extremely condensed cone-shaped shock wave and impacting towards the white dragon Sloka.

The four thick tentacles around the mouth were also the mind flayers' powerful weapons. At this moment, they grabbed towards the white dragon Sloka's head, trying to wrap around the white dragon's head and then suck the white dragon's brain out of its skull.

"The light of a firefly dares to bloom before the bright sun. Your psychic power is as weak and ridiculous as your body,"

"Erase psychic power!" The ancient and deep dragon language sounded, echoing in the hall with the overlapping tones of the dragons and the powerful power of the law.

The progenitor red dragon's huge dragon claws made a virtual grip on the roaring and waving tentacled mind flayer, and instantly erased the mental shock psychic spell of this monster.

One of the ultimate abilities of a psychic—a mindbender, erasing psychic power can eliminate the spell effects caused by any psychic spell, just like anti-magic fields, as long as the mindbender's mind is stronger than the erased person.

As a super powerhouse in the mental field, all mental spells and psychic spells can be easily learned and mastered by Kalon as long as they do not exceed the scope of Kalon's understanding.

Although this mind flayer parasitized the four-armed naga and gained some power enhancement, in front of the progenitor red dragon, perhaps only the main brain of the mind flayer group could resist this red dragon's ultimate mental ability.

And it was only a theoretical possibility.

After all, in Kalon's knowledge, there was once a powerful legendary spell that seized control of the most powerful ruler in the mind flayer group—the mind flayer main brain.

Kalon may not be as good as this legendary super mage in other aspects, but in terms of mental will, he does not think that he will lose to the other party, and the most powerful foundation of psychic power and mental spells lies in the mind.

The male white dragon Sloka's pupils were blazing, and the fierce frost breath mixed with the source desire of dragon blood, a mental storm spell comparable to psychic power, and powerful ice blasted towards the mind flayer.

The source desire of dragon blood has formed a unique conjuration power in the Kogmora dragon group. Although it is not as powerful as the legendary dragon frenzy spell, the dragon frenzy spell is a spell aimed at dragons.

The power mastered by the Kogmora dragon group can target any creature in the world with wisdom and soul, as long as these creatures still have instinctive emotions and desires.

The impact of the source desire spell made the mind flayer's tentacles instantly scatter and become extremely chaotic, and all of its huge psychic power was sealed and temporarily erased by the progenitor red dragon's law spell and mental ability.

Therefore, the white dragon Sloka's breath easily slowed down and delayed the mind flayer, freezing it instantly, and the thick dragon horns also hit the mind flayer's body in the next second.

Kogmora Dragon Chariot!

The most favorite skill from the Kogmora dragon group was finally reproduced on the white dragon Sloka.

The mind flayer's body was directly knocked away and slammed against the huge white jade pillar with a bang, and then slid down softly.

The white dragon Sloka ran away triumphantly and stepped on the mind flayer's head. The dragon's laughter spread throughout the hall, "You humble scum, you dare to defy the will of the dragon group?"

"My King!" The head of the Storm and Thunder Legion, the storm giant Garcia, appeared before the hall's entrance, bowing to the Progenitor Red Dragon.

"Take this mind flayer to Morfanred's laboratory. Tell Morfanred that this foolish mind flayer possesses a deeply hidden power, a power of corruption. Have him study it carefully!"

Karon commanded.

The storm giant Garcia responded in a low voice, then plunged the steel fork into the struggling body of the mind flayer.

Azure lightning intertwined into runes, sealing all the mind flayer's power. The white dragon Sloka reluctantly released its talons, allowing the giant Garcia to drag the mind flayer away.

"Now then, these boring fools have been dealt with. Let us continue our previous topic," Karon remained enthroned, unmoved. The dragon lords and dragons were like silent steel statues.

The mind flayer's power was strange and sudden, but in the dragon's court, the Progenitor Red Dragon was the master, capable of instantly eliminating all influence.

But the art of ruling is also a knowledge. The Progenitor Red Dragon merely used this mind flayer to show these nagas and elves how vast the difference between them and the Gormorra dragon clan truly was.

Karon gazed at the recovered nagas, then looked at the naga queen, and chuckled softly, "I am aware of your naga's plight. From this day forward, the nagas will become the guardians and rulers of the Golden Empire's waters. As long as you follow the will of the court, my promise to you will never change!"

The naga queen glanced deeply at the Progenitor Red Dragon, then lowered her head. She now understood the insurmountable gap between the naga tribe and the dragons of the Golden Empire.

Originally, the naga queen envisioned not only her daughter, the divinely blessed eight-armed naga Galrune, becoming the consort and companion of these dragons, but also a dozen other outstanding young nagas becoming dragon companions.

This was for the sake of the dragons' powerful bloodline.

True dragon blood was a power coveted by countless mortal races. If these nagas and true dragons produced offspring who became members of the naga tribe, they would not only possess supreme bloodlines, but also unparalleled potential.

The offspring of the divinely blessed naga Galrune and a dragon could even become the deep-sea king who rules all the seas.

But judging from the strength displayed by the Gormorra dragon clan just now, perhaps the nagas' ideas had fallen through.

Although it was well known that chromatic dragons rarely cared about their bloodline descendants, the situation was completely different in the Golden Empire.

"I only hope that Galrune and her sisters can freely seek a dragon as a spouse, as proof of the nagas' integration into the empire!"

The naga queen dispelled her thoughts and said softly.

A dozen young female nagas stepped forward simultaneously, standing beside the divinely blessed naga, competing in beauty, not losing their radiance.

Although the divinely blessed naga Galrune was the most outstanding genius, these dozen female nagas were not inferior in appearance and posture. On the contrary, each had their own characteristics and charms, all extremely beautiful. This was also a characteristic of the naga race.

In the dragons' aesthetics, these nagas were also among the dragons' best companions, because their incomparably soft bodies, capable of making many indescribable movements and postures, could withstand many of the dragons' plays.

"These are the most outstanding maidens among the nagas, and also my most outstanding daughters. I hope they can be favored by you, honored dragons!"

The naga queen said softly.

Karon laughed, his huge fangs bared.

If the Golden Empire were not different from other dragon families, perhaps these nagas' ideas would have achieved great success.

All the male dragons present had a corresponding naga, which meant that the naga queen originally planned to use marriage alliances to wipe out the bloodlines of all the dragons in the Gormorra dragon clan. Truly a heroine not inferior to men.

But the situation was different now. The naga tribe was destined to become a new race in the empire.

Karon nodded and chuckled softly, "Then let these beautiful nagas freely choose their satisfied partners!"

As soon as the Progenitor Red Dragon finished speaking, the male dragons all became high-spirited and sat up straight.

Even the copper dragon lord Alfred secretly straightened his body, the corner of his eyes quietly avoiding the warning gaze from the bronze dragon lord Alina.

The young red dragon Kediros's indifferent face was even more beaming, and he no longer cared about fawning over Delos, the female red dragon.

A dog cannot change its nature of eating dung, and dragons cannot stop being lecherous!

The Gormorra dragon clan controlled desire, but did not eliminate it.

These young nagas were particularly outstanding in figure, with bountiful chests. Wherever they went, they could attract the gaze of the male dragons.

The dragons were watching them, and they were also observing these dragons, choosing companions who matched their personalities.

However, no naga looked at the Progenitor Red Dragon. As nagas, they knew the dragons' mate selection criteria. Dragons could not only have one companion.

But even so, they could not match the Progenitor Red Dragon.

Only the divinely blessed naga had that small possibility.

A purple-haired naga, after observing for a moment, actually walked to the Progenitor Gold Dragon Obelash and gently lowered her beautiful head, waiting for the Progenitor Gold Dragon's response.

This was the eldest sister of the nagas, and also the first naga to start choosing.

Obelash was somewhat surprised. He turned back to look at the Progenitor Red Dragon, whose face was expressionless.

So Obelash lowered his head and said softly, "I am not a member of the Gormorra dragon clan. I am just a temporary member of the empire."

The naga raised her head, revealing a disappointed look. She was about to speak when the Progenitor Red Dragon's voice sounded at this moment.

"It doesn't matter, Obelash. You are also a dragon. As long as you are a dragon, under the witness of the empire, the union with the naga has eternal legal validity."

The gold dragon Obelash turned back, took a deep look at the Progenitor Red Dragon, then stretched out his claws and hugged the naga in his arms.

Ugh, not finished writing, I'll get a big chapter done tomorrow, sleep! Thanks for the votes!
