Ashen Dragon-Chapter 1200 - 351: The Red Dragon Awakening in the Heart of the Volcano

"Goraz Dera’s lightning breath...?" Cassius grinned, revealing a menacing smile, with sparks erupting from the corners of his mouth.

When battling that Ancient Blue Dragon, he was particularly wary of its lightning breath; a slight misstep and the devastating thunder could pierce through his body.

But now, this power belonged to him.

The Red Dragon Emperor flapped his Dragon Wings, soaring into the sky. His massive head lifted high, eyes bursting with dazzling lightning, coldly gazing down at the trembling mortals below.

He opened his huge mouth, not uttering a usual roar, nor spewing flames, but instead, a more intense and ferocious lightning breath!

"Boom—"

This dragon breath composed of pure destructive energy tore through the sky, emitting a piercing shriek, instantly piercing the lingering dark clouds ahead, turning a rocky mountain into fragments. The broken stones, wrapped in flickering lightning, scattered wildly. The air was filled with a strong burnt smell. The storm created by the lightning breath left a charred trail on the ground.

The fierce thunder seemed like an extension of his will, dancing and leaping wildly between the jagged horns and the majestic outline of the Red Dragon Emperor.

At this moment, the thunder was his battle cry, and the lightning was his Claws and Fangs. This ancestor Red Dragon seemed to be born from the storm, descending upon the earth, transforming the celestial phenomena into his own crown, proclaiming his undisputed identity as the ruler of thunder.

If there were a Dragon Scholar present, witnessing such a phenomenon, they would definitely regard Cassius as an Ancient Blue Dragon using a Transformation Spell—after all, how could a Red Dragon wield lightning and storm in such a manner?

Cassius spiraled in the sky, lifting his Dragon Claw, and an invisible Storm Power surged forth.

In an instant, countless lightnings seemed summoned, converging to his palm, forming a Lightning Spear over ten meters long, flickering with an awe-inspiring glow.

The Red Dragon Emperor let out a carefree long howl, wielding his Dragon Claw, and fiercely hurled the Lightning Spear.

"Boom!"

Blinding lightning pierced through the heavens and earth, striking a small mountain like divine punishment, instantly blasting the rocks apart. Dust and smoke soared skyward, stones crumbled down, and the rocks melted into liquid. The mountain bore countless charred cracks, collapsing in a thunderous roar.

"Such terrifying power." Cassius nodded slightly, unable to refrain from exclaiming.

Then, the Red Dragon Emperor spread open his Dragon Claw, five fingers extended, once again grasping the Authority of storm dominion, manipulating the electromagnetic forces within hundreds of meters.

Accompanied by the crackle of electricity and a faint hum, particle fragments containing metallic elements from the dust and rocks rose slowly, suspended in mid-air, glittering incessantly in the light released by the crisscrossing arcs, likened to a dense asteroid belt circling the massive dragon body of the Red Dragon Emperor, flowing slowly. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Manipulating electromagnetic forces... such a wondrous feeling."

Cassius snapped his fingers, and the arcs of electricity danced more fiercely, with high-voltage currents attaching to the metallic particles floating high above, causing them to shift from stillness to motion, instantly reaching supersonic speed.

With a piercing whistle, these particles dragged dazzling lightning, resembling a meteor shower streaking across the sky, falling from above, leaving billions of silvery white threads, rendering the earth cratered and tattered.

"Boom!"

Dust and debris splattered upward, arcs crackled and exploded, the buzz was incessant, and from high above, thunder resounded deafeningly, making all things tremble and disturbing the long-dormant soul body.

"This... is this my own power! Did you take this too?" Goraz Dera opened her eyes from slumber, uttering a trembling, incredulous voice, with her half-transparent dragon face filled with despair.

Everything of hers had been seized by the Red Dragon in front of her, and yet she was powerless, forced to watch as he flaunted his power before her.

At this moment, Goraz Dera bore no Blue Dragon characteristics, lacking azure scales, her entire being appearing translucent and colorless, resembling the stereotypic image of a "dragon," her divinity entirely depleted.

If she hadn’t accomplished the quasi-god ascension, rendering her soul body with a trace of immortality, and also if Cassius hadn’t harbored a strong intent to fully kill, Goraz Dera might have already had her soul dissipated, will extinguished, and perished nowhere to be buried.

"Greedy Red Dragon..." Goraz Dera, filled with terror, tremblingly said: "Throughout the ages, no one has been able to control such vastly different divine powers. One day, you’ll be destroyed by your endless desires, falling to become a God Scourge!"

"Is this considered a curse?"

"If you don’t want to lose control—release me, Cassius, restore it back, we can become allies, I can grant you the knowledge I’ve accumulated over millennia." At this point, Goraz Dera’s tone carried a hint of pleading.

After all, she was no longer the tyrant who wielded the Storm Power and thunder, known throughout Talilo; now she was merely a frail soul body, imprisoned by the Red Dragon Emperor.

"How ’kind-hearted’ indeed."

Cassius nonchalantly shook his head, smiling as he said: "Instead of worrying about me, you might as well concern yourself with your own end. Tsk tsk, a quasi-god level test subject, this is indeed the first time since the Empire’s founding."

"Ex... experiment?"

Goraz Dera was stunned immediately; she never imagined this Red Dragon would insult her like this!
