Ashen Dragon-Chapter 336 - 260: Red and Silver (Part 3)

Chapter 336: Chapter 260: Red and Silver (Part 3)

“No wonder you’re a despicable offspring of Tiamat, you truly inherited Her gift of glib tongue and confusion of right and wrong!”

“In my long life, I have fought countless five-colored dragons, and eventually I realized one thing—”

Osedro stared at the Red Dragon, hostility growing more evident in his eyes. “For a scion of Tiamat like you, any persuasion is just a waste of words.”

“Only the purest strength can make you submit! Make you realize your mistakes, and return to the righteous path of the Lord of the Northwind!”

“Roar—

Osedro let out another roar.

...

He suddenly swung his bright silver broad wings, the surrounding gale became fiercer, and a storm of icy hail assaulted the Red Dragon.

This was just a small test, but to mortals, it would be an apocalyptic disaster.

Even the Lionheart Knights would be turned into ice sculptures in such a storm.

“Heh, you arrogant old fossil—”

“Can’t win a debate so you’re relying on force, huh?”

Cassius sneered coldly, he roared and, without dodging, swung his wings in the air, creating a wave of scorching wind.

With a slight flicker of the Dragon Crystal in his chest, the Red Dragon opened its mouth and sprayed a blazing pillar of fire, piercing through the storm of extreme cold and directly targeting the Silver Dragon.

“Savage Red Dragon! I will show you the power of the Arcane!”

Osedro hovered in mid-air, the magic patterns on this Law-Addicted Dragon’s body lit up like cracks, and those precious pieces of magic equipment began to shimmer as well.

One spell after another was cast onto his bright silver dragon body: Eric’s Protection Membrane, Nezran’s Sapphire Screen, Elbraka’s Green Jade Shield, various protective spells were cast in succession, making the smooth scales reflect brilliantly colorful spell radiance.

This Ancient Silver Dragon looked like a giant neon ball, making the gathered mortals avert their eyes, and even the spectators exclaimed “light pollution.”

But this seemed to be the correct visual style for a powerful mage’s battle.

So was it for Cassius.

Although he didn’t have magic scrolls etched into his scales, spells like Heaven’s Calamity Dragon Eye, Dragon’s Justice, and Agile as a Dragon were still cast by the Red Dragon using [Metamagic: Instant Casting]. Star-like light spots appeared on his body surface.

A vast flow of sorcery surged around him, stirring stormy waves within the Magic Web.

Though not as luxuriously dazzling, with the power of the Red Dragon itself, its momentum was not inferior in the slightest.

Cassius spread his wings, swiftly diving down, spraying white-hot flames as he approached the Silver Dragon.

“Boom!”

But the Red Dragon’s breath pierced through several spell shields; before it could touch the Silver Dragon’s scales, it was blocked by the transparent ice barrier surrounding him.

Under the flame’s extreme heat, the ice sublimated into steam, dense white fog rose continuously from the ice barrier, but the breath couldn’t break through it.

However, Osedro wasn’t just defending; he seized this opportunity to launch a counterattack.

“Diamond Stars!”

Accompanied by a long incantation in Draconic, cold, white stars streaked across the sky like meteors, heading straight for the Red Dragon breathing fire.

However, Cassius had already predicted the spell’s arrival using Heaven’s Calamity Dragon Eye.

With the terrifying speed granted by Agile as a Dragon, he turned into a blur with just a slight wing flap, flying hundreds of meters away.

The stars pursued him but couldn’t match the Red Dragon’s frightening speed, eventually plummeting to the ground powerlessly.

“Boom!”

Several fearsome ice mountains suddenly appeared on the ground. Had the Silver Dragon not controlled it intentionally, hundreds of Allied soldiers would have been frozen.

“How is this possible? Such speed!”

Osedro’s eyes fixed on the red figure, filled with disbelief.

In his memory, Red Dragons, though strong in melee combat, due to their overly developed muscles, were usually clumsy and crude, easily toyed with by a high-rank spellcaster like him.

The “Dragon Prince” before him was astonishingly fast; standard spells couldn’t easily hit him.

But Osedro didn’t lose heart. He raised the Mithril Staff embedded with a star realm-like magic stone, radiating brilliant spell light. Frost, gales, and radiance were cast in succession, various spell energies overflowed.

While Cassius’s body was enveloped in flames and lightning, fighting against the Ancient Silver Dragon’s spells, he circled Osedro at high speed like a red blur, waiting for a chance to engage in close combat.

The sky was filled with thick white mist, blanketing the wasteland and obscuring the vision of those below.

People on the ground could only see vague figures appearing in the clouds, hearing the howl of the wind and the dragons’ roars, and the crackling of lightning.

The entire wasteland trembled.

“What kind of battle is this…”

“What kind of beings are these?”

“T-too terrifying, we must get out of here!”

This was merely a test between the two sides, but the intensity rivaled the previous massive battle, leaving the people below watching in fear and disbelief at the towering ice mountains that had formed.

The inhabitants of the North from the magical wasteland were witnessing such a grand battle for the first time, and the start of the fight was already beyond their imaginations.

“Is this the magic you’re so proud of? Targeting your own allies?”

Cassius taunted mercilessly.

He roared towards the sky, sending hundreds of tiny, searing-hot volcanic rocks hurling at the Silver Dragon, along with clouds of volcanic ash pouring down.

“Such spells—dare you flaunt them before me?”

Osedro roared, the frost necklace on his chest emanating infinite cold, which instantly froze the volcanic rocks and ash, making them fall to the ground like hail.

The Silver Dragon soared, opening his mouth to instinctively breathe fire in retaliation.

But hidden within the volcanic ash was an inconspicuous energy ray, aimed directly at the Silver Dragon’s back, Cassius’s true killing move.

It was Magic Withering!

Even enhanced by sorcery metamagic, a ninth-tier level spell slot was used to cast an advanced Magic Withering!

“Great Disjunction?”

Osedro’s expression changed abruptly.

Even with several warning spells and protective magic triggered, the big, cumbersome body of the Ancient Silver Dragon still couldn’t fully evade, having to endure the spell with its body.

The ray pierced several shields upon contact, creating a massive antimagic field that enveloped half his body.

The magic patterns on hundreds of scales dimmed, even those precious rings and necklaces seemed covered in dust, some shattering directly into fine powder.

Osedro’s face turned grim.

For a dragon, even an orderly good metal dragon, nothing could incite greater rage than the destruction of his treasures.

Moreover, the Red Dragon had destroyed his meticulously crafted magic scales.

“No—cunning Red Dragon!”

Meanwhile, Cassius felt particularly pleased.

A schadenfreude emotion spread in his heart. Now, perhaps this old Silver Dragon wasn’t wealthier than him.
