Chapter 727: Chapter 717: Show Off and Run Chapter 727: Chapter 717: Show Off and Run “Green Dragon Lord, this is where our master resides. Are you sure you want to challenge our master?” Under the pressure of the green dragon, the green-skinned beastman chieftain submitted, reluctantly becoming a tour guide.
Showing fealty in front of a dragon is meaningless – neither his master would remember his loyalty, nor would the green dragon hold him in higher esteem because of it.
So, for the sake of his own life and the safety of his tribe, he was content just to guide the dragon. After all, it was not hard to find his master’s dwelling, as it was an active volcano still spewing black smoke.
“An adolescent red dragon, how much wealth can it amass?” The green dragon, Bill, no longer cared about the beastman chieftain by his side. His eyes shone brightly as he inspected the volcano.
He had already figured out that the red dragon, like him, was an adolescent of the Dragon Race, of similar size. Normally, a green dragon would never dare to provoke a red dragon of a similar size. After all, the red dragon is a breed created with the greatest amount of effort by Tiamat, Empress of the Five-Color Dragons.
But under specific circumstances, he, a green dragon who had undergone complete Xena Pus Dragon Race education, was not some savagely grown green dragon in the wilderness. He was bigger than dragons of his age, had mastered spells to the limit of his abilities, and was an elite among the Dragon Race.
If it were a red dragon of Xena Pus, he may have retreated, but a savagely grown red dragon in the wild could not intimidate him. It was the perfect target to plunder.
“Red Dragon Rachel Feinshumake, come out.” The green dragon Bill, imagining the fortune he was about to make, threw the beastman he had held in his claw, unleashed his Dragon Prestige towards the volcano, and roared upwards at the sky.
Hearing Green Dragon Bill’s challenge, Red Dragon Rachel who was living atop the volcano crawled out of its cave and saw the green dragon floodlit by bright spirit light.
It was a burly, muscular green dragon. If it weren’t for the teal scales on him, Rachel might have thought it was a vision error, seeing a green dragon as a red one.
“Roar!” Once it was confirmed that the challenger was a green dragon, a surge of extreme anger emerged from Rachel. As a red dragon, it felt its ego had been challenged and ridiculed by a green dragon.
“Despicable green dragon, you venture from your green woods to challenge the great Red Dragon Rachel. You are seeking death!”
Red dragons of the Five-Color Dragon Clan, or in the dragon race in general, adopt a stance of extreme Pride. They look down on all other dragon races apart from their own, hence Rachel was even angrier as he had just been preparing to undertake a significant event of a dragon’s life, but was interrupted by this @#!*% green dragon.
“Ignorant red dragon, why are you so talkative? Rachel, isn’t it? Submit all your treasures to me graciously. If your wealth pleases me, I might be merciful and leave you with some coppers. Otherwise, I will peel off your scales to make up the count.”
While Red Dragon Rachel was arrogant, Green Dragon Bill was even more so. Being born in Xena Pus, he was justified to look down upon any wild dragons. This was the confidence knowledge and power had given him.
“Mean mongrel, who gave you the courage to challenge the great Rachel?” Hissed the red dragon Rachel, furious at the green one’s remark. It couldn’t hold back anymore, flapped its wings open, flew to the sky and charged towards Bill. Rachel decided to peel off all this dirty green beast’s scales and then nail him to a bronze pillar, so it could realise the punishment for provoking a great red dragon.
“Just a wild dragon.” The green dragon Bill remained unconcerned about Rachel’s onslaught. With a swipe of his claw, hundreds of Enhanced Advanced Arcane Missiles flew towards Rachel. These giant magic missiles, each with a diameter of over a meter, were spells specifically optimized for giant dragons.
Guided by Bill’s immense mental power, hundreds of Arcane Missiles bombarded the fiercely charging Rachel, the subsequent explosions halting its momentum. However, due to the rigid scales on Rachel, the missiles didn’t harm it.
But this was enough. Unless purpose-specific dragon-slaying magic was used, general spells found it difficult to effectively harm the giant dragons. In a clash between dragons, spells usually played the role of guiding or assisting. The main event was close combat between the dragons.
Even in close combat, the Green Dragon was by no means weak. Within Xenapus, as a member of the Dragon Race, he could intermittently obtain a piece of Legendary Flesh. Consequently, his development far surpassed dragons of the same age. He wasn’t afraid of close combat with wild Giant Dragons at all.
After a barrage of magic left the Red Dragon dazed, the Green Dragon spread his wings and charged violently. His tail whipped like a lash against the Red Dragon’s body, causing the scales to explode. The damage inflicted was greater than the damage caused by his fancy magical attack just now.
The Green Dragon and the Red Dragon were ferociously engaged in aerial combat. Shattered scales mixed with corrosive or scorching dragon blood fell from the sky. Most of the blood was red, indicating that the Red Dragon was falling behind in the fight.
“You coward who likes to use magic, if you dare, fight me hand to hand!” The Red Dragon, Rachel was frustrated at being repeatedly restricted by magic in close combat, causing many of her attacks to miss. She yelled angrily. If she goes on like this, she will eventually lose. To lose to a Green Dragon would be a lifelong disgrace.
Considering this, the humiliated Red Dragon, Rachel, fought even more recklessly, because there was another dragon watching her.
“You wild dragon who only thinks about brute strength, you know nothing about the subtlety of magic,” the Green Dragon retorted with pride. He was under little threat so far, but he had nearly defeated the Red Dragon, and he still had plenty of magic tricks up his sleeve.
A large block of ice took shape under his claws and then was smashed like a brick on the Red Dragon’s body. The Red Dragon’s mouth, which was on the verge to breathe dragon fire, was shut and even a tooth was knocked off.
“Are all dragons so powerful these days? They actually master such magic spells.” Suddenly, a surprised voice echoed from the volcano Rachel had just flown out of. Along with the voice, an even more formidable Dragon Prestige spread out.
“Another Red Dragon.” The Green Dragon, who had been dominating Rachel, turned back and saw a female Red Dragon standing there, fascinated with his fight with Red Dragon. The enormous size of the female made him pause for a moment and allowed the Red Dragon to shatter the Mage’s Barrier he had set up on himself.
A “mature Red Dragon.” The Green Dragon looked strangely at the Red Dragon he was fighting with, “and it’s female. You’ve got some skills, boy! I see I’ve disturbed you a little. Anyway, you’ve managed to hook up with a stronger female dragon. You’re capable. Young wild dragon, are you interested in hanging out with me?”
“Don’t underestimate the Dragon Race, you mere Green Dragon!” Seeing the Red Dragon lady he had been wooing watching the battle, Red Dragon Rachel went even more frantic. For a male, losing face in front of a female is extremely embarrassing.
“It’s not that I look down on you. It’s just that you’re simply no match for me,” Seeing one more mature dragon, Green Dragon Bill felt a little scared. He assessed that he would be able to hold his own against a mature Red Dragon. However, he didn’t think he could win against a Red Dragon and an Adolescent Dragon simultaneously. But his face showed no signs of fear and he still acted arrogantly, confident that he could easily escape.
“Up to now, I’ve been playing with you,” said the Green Dragon dismissively glancing at the Red Dragon. He was preparing to flee. With a mature dragon present, he figured he had no chance of taking the Adolescent Dragon’s hoard. But before he escaped, he was planning to show off a bit.
“Red Dragon, your crude use of your innately powerful physique is a disgrace to the entire Dragon Race.” Green Dragon Bill arrogantly glanced at the mature Red Dragon, and finding she had no intention of intervening, continued to boast, “Today, I will show you the real Dragon Race combat skills!”
The Green Dragon took a deep breath, and then his dragon body slightly inflated. Even with the scales covering the body, his muscular contours are clearly visible. He extended his dragon claws. Under the gaze of the bewildered Red Dragon, the Green Dragon’s right foreclaw dramatically expanded to the size of a back claw, and then landed a hefty punch on him.
Under the impact of this punch, the body of Red Dragon quickly distorted. He performed a 720-degree spin in the air before crashing to the ground. Dragon blood poured out from his broken abdomen wound, making a tragic scene.
“Did you see that? This is the true power hidden within a dragon’s physique.” Seeing the result of his punch, Green Dragon Bill laughed triumphantly. This was a combat technique developed specifically for dragon physiques by Muria, considering most dragons use the most basic fighting methods that are rough and crude in Muria’s view.
“I’ll come back for you.” Seeing that the mature Red Dragon seemed to be preparing to make a move, Green Dragon Bill opened a gate and fled into it, disappearing right in front of the two Red Dragons.
“That was exciting.” After boasting and running, the Green Dragon appeared on a small hill, his posture a little strange. His three claws were propping up his body, and the one that had knocked over the Red Dragon didn’t dare touch the ground because it was twitching continuously.
