The daytime sky was enveloped by a thick, putrid black cloud, and surging magic stirred a magical storm within the clouds.
Suddenly, electric light leaped from the dim clouds, and furious thunderbolts streaked through the heavy clouds, shaking the sky violently as wind and clouds were torn by sharp iron claws and steel talons.
The attacks launched simultaneously by Dos,and Akzi, and the equally young Germott were sharp, coordinated, and perfectly synchronized, as if they were communicating in real-time through some means in their minds, advancing and retreating together.
In fact, although the relationship between True Dragons is not even as harmonious as True Dragon s' relationships with other races, the coordination of these True Dragon s was like that of companions who had signed a companion contract, stemming from their inherent understanding and knowledge of each other's abilities.
Additionally, the interconnectedness of the Seeds of Will born within these True Dragons bodies allowed them to slightly sense their companions' thoughts when their minds were open and emotions fluctuated.
Almost immediately, the assault of the three True Dragons descended like a storm upon the Adult Multi-Headed True Dragon.
Electric light continuously surged from the horn of Dos, summoning continuous lightning bolts from the sky to reinforce the power of the Azure Thunder Prison that trapped the Adult Multi-Headed True Dragon.
The older Akzi glided through the air, sweeping forward with a frontal assault of fierce winds, directly attacking the Multi-Headed True Dragon trapped by the Azure Thunder Prison.
And Germot, most skilled in hunting techniques, silently vanished into the enemy's black clouds, soaring upward to launch a siege against the Adult True Dragon with his own strength and skill.
Ellie had, through the war, skillfully mastered the technique of maximizing the utilization of her bloodline abilities, and in an extreme magical output, the magical plants cultivated over several years, combined with the Green Dragon's innate spells, shone brilliantly in her claws.
Thick, vine-like tendrils, as massive as ancient trees, surged and twined, reaching towards the sky, but Ellie's target was not the Multi-Headed True Dragon, but the sneering Eternal Punishment Dragon beside it.
"Poison Vine Forest, Greenwood Cage!"
Ellie shrieked, and the rapidly expanding poison vines, with their thorny tentacles, instantly generated dozens, even hundreds, of living tendrils that wrapped the spreading wings of the Eternal Punishment Dragon from bottom to top, like a poisonous vine flower bud, trapping it in a prison of vines.
Ellie, having been tempered by battle, was no longer the wild True Dragon she once was; she was doing her utmost to hold back the more terrifying Eternal Punishment Dragon, creating an opportunity for her companions to quickly defeat the Multi-Headed True Dragon.
Mighty True Dragon might, surging power, boiling magic—at this moment, all sounds in heaven and earth seemed to quiet down, as if the trajectory of all things had become somewhat slower.
Dos whistled past the Multi-Headed True Dragon's left side, his sharp claws controlling the might of lightning, but even faster was the thunderous breath, already poised to strike, that rushed from the Blue Dragon's mouth towards the Multi-Headed True Dragon.
Akzi, as the primary attacker in the frontal assault, abandoned his claws and breath, but his even more ferocious True Dragon horn, carrying an unstoppable momentum, directly collided with the Multi-Headed True Dragon.
The six blood-red eyes of the Adult Multi-Headed True Dragon, temporarily trapped by the young Blue Dragon's talent and magic-formed Azure Thunder Prison, suddenly burst forth with intense light.
The Multi-Headed True Dragon's three heads roared, opening their mouths, and violent magic swirled and churned within the Multi-Headed True Dragon's mouth, like the eye of a nascent tornado and a deep-sea vortex.
The heavy black clouds covering half the sky were sucked in as if by a sea vortex, instantly converging into the Multi-Headed True Dragon's central head, forming a dense cloud sphere that was then expelled by the Multi-Headed True Dragon.
The young Blue Dragon's lightning prison was instantly shattered by this powerful force, and the Dos's sweeping claws collided twice in quick succession with the Adult Multi-Headed True Dragon's wing claws and whip tail, emitting a continuous series of high-pitched impacts.
Dos's thunderous breath was also blocked by the stream of acidic clouds spewed from the Multi-Headed True Dragon's right head.
Akzi's fierce frontal pounce, the lightning flashing on his horn breaking through the impact of the cloud pillar, then collided with another of the Multi-Headed True Dragon's claws.
This Adult Multi-Headed True Dragon was actually able to catch the timing of Akzi's attack and strike preemptively, even while dealing with Dos.
But even an Adult True Dragon, possessing strength that surpassed these young True Dragons, could not perfectly withstand the full impact of a Blue Dragon on the cusp of adulthood while airborne.
The Multi-Headed True Dragon's sharp claw struck Akzi's horn, and while his claw was pierced by Akzi's horn and he was sent flying, it also broke through the scales on Akzi's head, leaving several wounds on the fierce Blue Dragon.
And Germot, this True Dragon finally made his move at this moment.
True Dragon claws, exuding chilling cold and the sharpness of steel, cut shining lines through the air, as if severing certain distinct arcs.
Germot's body appeared in the sky behind the Multi-Headed True Dragon as it was sent flying, aiming for the Multi-Headed True Dragon's hard-to-defend underside of the neck, near the spine of its body.
But the Adult Multi-Headed True Dragon's third head suddenly twisted, opening its sharp fangs to tear at Germot's broad wings.
Germot's attack was successful; his huge, sharp claws, at a strange angle, broke through the gaps between the Multi-Headed True Dragon's scales, as if peeling away the True Dragon's scales to attack its body.
The Multi-Headed True Dragon's back was directly gouged open by Germot, the clever White True Dragon, leaving a huge gash where broken, still writhing red muscle and shredded white fat could be seen.
A chilling breath of frost erupted from Germot's mouth, instantly freezing the Multi-Headed True Dragon's head, which had bitten into his wing, for a microsecond.
Germotr opened his massive mouth and bit down on the Multi-Headed True Dragon's long, snake-like neck.
True Dragon teeth are powerful weapons, and a True Dragon's bite is a fatal attack. Germotdirectly bit through the Multi-Headed True Dragon's neck, tearing off a large piece of flesh and exposing the Multi-Headed True Dragon's bloody trachea and throat.
He was then forced back by the Adult Multi-Headed True Dragon's reacting, turning body and extended claws.
But Germot also felt some icy dragon blood gushing from his wing membranes; that was the White Dragon's blood flowing from where the Multi-Headed True Dragon had torn his bone wing's end.
The White Dragon's bloodline had now embarked on a path of ancestral return, considered powerful and refined among previous bloodlines, yet this Adult Multi-Headed True Dragon still managed to injure him in the instant of their clash.
But no True Dragon roared or bellowed; in a battle between True Dragon s, half a breath of time was enough to be torn to shreds by an enemy.
Germot spread his wings and soared into the sky, gathering strength for a pounce, while the two Blue Dragons behind him also wheeled in the sky, pouncing towards the Adult Multi-Headed True Dragon, who had suffered severe injuries to his back.
A lion facing a pack of wolves does not easily pounce forward, because an active attack reveals vulnerabilities, and the same is true in a True Dragons combat.
But now the True Dragons also had another powerful enemy, the Eternal Punishment Dragon, so the young True Dragons in the Dragon clan were no longer as patient as a wolf pack, but chose to pounce, exchanging minor injuries for the enemy's life, to quickly deal with the opponent.
Because Ellie's Poison Vine Cage had already been shattered by a single blow from the powerful Eternal Punishment Dragon; the surging wind behind them was the whistling sound of the Eternal Punishment Dragon and Ellie's massive wings spreading across the sky, like urging drumbeats.
The Adult Multi-Headed Dragons also understood this principle; his spine was wildly spraying gushing dragon blood into the air, and his leftmost head had already drooped limply, its long neck no longer able to support the Dragons's head.
The Multi-Headed Dragons's huge yellow wing membranes flapped in the air, forcefully steadying his body, and then he rushed upwards without pause.
Facing the danger of this moment, the Adult Multi-Headed Dragons actually chose to flee, even though his unique body allowed this Dragons to maintain considerable combat power.
But this type of Dragons, who enjoyed toying with weaker prey, was not courageous.
When faced with a severe injury from the encirclement of three Dragonss who had not yet reached adulthood, and the potential for eternal oblivion, he abandoned the Eternal Punishment Dragon who had come with him, and directly soared into the sky, wanting to escape this battlefield exclusive to Dragonss.
Dos and Germot immediately stopped their movements, no longer pursuing the fleeing Adult Multi-Headed Dragons, and turned to face the attacking Eternal Punishment Dragon.
Only Akzi, this Blue Dragon, already enraged by the battle, reverted to the temperament of the Blue Dragon species: the more injured, the more courageous, tailing the Adult Multi-Headed Dragons's form as he flew towards the high heavens.
But a magic-hidden tower in the sky had already been waiting above the Dragons battlefield for a long time.
The Dragonss' close-quarters combat made it difficult for the mages to act, fearing that their magic might harm the Empire's Lords, but the Multi-Headed Dragons's escape direction led him directly into the mages' trap.
The clouds in the sky suddenly turned pitch black, and before the flashing lightning could strike, a scorching flame, like a hoop thrown in an amusement park, encircled the Multi-Headed Dragons's central head.
"Ring of Fire!"
The fiercely burning ring of fire instantly tightened around the neck of the Multi-Headed Dragons, then exploded directly.
Boom, a violent tremor came from high in the sky, followed by a chain of lightning storms and ice arrows.
Akzi looked up. An Adult Multi-Headed Dragons roared as it rapidly fell from the sky. The Dragons, already shaken by the tremor, was still targeted by the magical chain lightning and ice arrows, which continuously struck and pierced it, making the Adult Dragons's descent faster and faster.
Then it directly crashed onto the earth, shaking the entire shallow stream, causing countless stream water to fall from the sky and flow into the deep pit created by the Multi-Headed Dragons's impact.
Looking at the motionless deep pit, Akzi's battle rage finally calmed down, and he descended towards his companions' battlefield.
The Adult Eternal Punishment Dragon, perhaps in terms of detected level by mages, was almost on par with Christiana, but this Eternal Punishment Dragon was far more terrifying than The Silver Dragon Christiana.
It wasn't because this Eternal Punishment Dragon's power far surpassed that of an Adult Silver Dragon, but because the abilities the Eternal Punishment Dragon possessed were powerful enough.
This was also the strongest opponent these Young Dragonss had ever encountered.
As the violent lightning just flickered out, the biting frost surged forth, while the Eternal Punishment Dragon's phantom weaved and flew through the immense Forever Punished Domain, accompanied by attacks of iron claws and steel fangs, causing blood to splatter.
The Eternal Punishment Dragon, mastering the Forever Punished Domain and the Magical Labyrinth ability, trapped the converging Dragons into its dark Forever Punished Domain as soon as it made its move, then used the Magical Labyrinth to separate the converging Dragons.
This turned the unified battlefield of several Dragons into one-on-one combat with this Adult Eternal Punishment Dragon.
The Eternal Punishment Dragon's unpredictable attacks prevented the Young Dragons from accumulating enough power to simultaneously attack from within and break through this special Dragons's innate domain.
They also needed to maintain their full attention to meet the Eternal Punishment Dragon's elusive attacks. Even so, in just a short moment of confrontation, several Young Dragons had already sustained considerable damage.
Even though it was nothing for a Dragons's formidable body, if it accumulated like this, it would eventually become the last straw to break these Young Dragons.
And the Eternal Punishment Dragon could even easily wait for these Young Dragons to become mentally fatigued and their power to be consumed to weakness, then strike down these Young Dragons one by one without sustaining any damage.
The Eternal Punishment Dragon's sneering voice also echoed in the gloomy Forever Punished Domain, striking at the hearts of these Young Dragons.
"Give up resisting,"
the Eternal Punishment Dragon sneered, as the Adult Dragons's sharp claw abruptly appeared behind Germot from the gloomy space above.
Even though Germot was fully focused on sensing the spatial situation, when he turned to counterattack, his unaccumulated power was no match for the Adult Dragons, and he was directly stumbled by the immense force from the Eternal Punishment Dragon's claw.
"The Multi-Headed Dragons escaped, but your companions have also abandoned you. Your resistance is futile. Even if your companions return, they will only die by my hand,"
the Eternal Punishment Dragon laughed loudly, as the Adult Dragons's immense strength tore Germot's muscles and broke his bones.
"What Dragons's Kingdom? It's just a joke. Dragons cannot form a civilization, because I know what Dragons are like, hahaha!"
Germot ignored the Eternal Punishment Dragon's words. His powerful regenerative ability persisted. His massive heart beat like a drum, and the dragon blood in his veins was squeezed by Germot, flowing through his body, repairing his damaged internal organs and fractured muscles.
He resisted the Adult Dragons's attack with stubborn will and would not compromise.
The surging power released from the dragon blood forcibly healed Germot's broken bones and shattered muscles. He stirred his magic and surging new life force, actively pouncing towards the Adult Dragons.
But the Eternal Punishment Dragon's figure instantly vanished again, freely traversing the gloomy domain.
Dos roared and galloped in the deep domain, every movement filled with thunder and lightning, illuminating the dim earth.
He thought the Eternal Punishment Dragon's domain should have boundaries, but he was wrong. The Eternal Punishment Dragon's domain was connected to a mysterious spatial Plane. This Dragons's ability was more like using itself as an anchor to isolate that mysterious space into a domain as a cage.
The cage in the present world was the node to break this space. To break this cage from within, one would need power stronger than an Adult Dragons, enough to break through the Eternal Punishment Dragon's innate bloodline power.
But Dos did not give up. These Dragons all believed that as long as they persisted, their companions would arrive one after another, because they would do the same.
An unusual fluctuation came from somewhere in the gloomy space. Dos quickly turned around, his body covered in thunder like divine punishment, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and spreading electricity, actively attacking the appearing Adult Dragons.
Boom,
In the clash of the two Dragons, under a valiant will, Dos was surprisingly only pushed back a few steps, and the scales on his claws were broken, but he was not severely injured.
However, the blood on the Adult Dragons's claw tip was not Dos's own.
Dos's heart skipped a beat. Watching the Adult Dragons's figure disappear again, Dos let out a long roar, "Despicable fellow, come out and fight me!"
"The longer you drag this out, the more miserably you will die,"
Dos's roar echoed throughout the entire space. He laughed: "My companions will arrive one by one, and our warriors will kill all those giants. At that time, only you, only you, one Dragons, will face us."
"Run, run while you have the chance, otherwise, your head will be given to those Goblins and Kobolds as a ball to kick."
But Dos's approach did not achieve the desired effect. This Blue Dragon pouted. He felt that the Ancestral Red Dragon was right, calmness was the first virtue in facing anything, but now he couldn't help his companions either, so he could only continue exploring this space.
Although Dos's words did not achieve the desired effect, the Blue Dragon's words had already become true.
The Eternal Punishment Dragon hovered in mid-air. The immense Forever Punished Domain was beneath its body, allowing it to dive into it at any time, but it could no longer be full of sneering as before.
Akzi squatted on the city wall, his vertical pupils staring at this fearsome-looking Dragons with wings like tattered cloth sewn together, and said loudly: "Before you make a mistake, stopping now is the most correct thing you can do."
"Release my companions, and as a Dragon Lord, I can let you go, Eternal Punishment Dragon,"
Akzi said, "But next time, you won't be so lucky. You will be considered an enemy of all Dragons. Every Dragons, every warrior, will long to twist off your head."
"So, you can also choose to surrender. I, Akzi, as a Dragon Lord, according to the dragon codex, will pardon your death sentence,"
"You only need to atone for your sins, and you can have a life far superior to being with giants. The kingdom created by Dragons will not reject any kind of Dragons."
The Eternal Punishment Dragon overlooked the entire scene, but its heart was filled with awe.
Those giants were all slaughtered by the blood-armored warriors. The heads of the giants were hung at the warriors' waists or held in their hands, just like a race that enjoyed displaying heads as trophies.
But the way these powerful warriors looked at it now was as if they saw it as prey. It couldn't imagine how Dragons could possess such powerful warriors. In its heart, Dragons were not worthy of such warriors' loyalty, nor could they gain anyone else's loyalty.
Just like those Dragons Gods were not worthy of the respect and faith of their creations!
The high tower in the sky also had a mental lock, making the Eternal Punishment Dragon feel like thorns were on its back.
And in the city not far away, new Dragons were roaring. The Eternal Punishment Dragon could even clearly see that behind the two fluctuating teleportation gates were a volatile Young Red Dragon and a seemingly somewhat foolish Adolescent White Dragons.
Although the Eternal Punishment Dragon didn't know why these two Dragons stayed and didn't pass through the teleportation gate, what the Blue Dragon in its Forever Punished Domain said was undoubtedly true.
This was indeed a country created by a Dragons, possessing its own civilization.
"So, should I fight to the death, or should I believe what that Blue Dragon said?!"
The Eternal Punishment Dragon was silent, then spoke: "My soul is enslaved by Hekaton Giant Mogyes and cannot belong to you."
"But if you keep your promise, in future hostilities, I, Liam, will also let you off the hook."
"Alright,"
Akzi nodded his huge head. He said in a deep voice: "But in the future, we will not hold back against you!"
