A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 405: Chapter 321: The Evil Dragon Who Beats His Own Mother (Part 2)

Zilalala—!

With a deep breath.

Dazzling, radiant lightning like liquid gold suddenly burst forth from his majestic dragon body. His physique swelled as if inflated once again, with muscles bulging dramatically.

Immediately following a swift claw strike exchange.

The robust right claw of Galos, wrapped in golden lightning and brimming with strength, seemed to break free from the constraints of space, carrying an overwhelming force to smash toward Letitia’s relatively weaker waist and abdomen area.

Shield Rebound!

Letitia reacted swiftly, stepping back half a step, while crossing her broad dragon wings in front of her. A layer of solid, thick black light flashed across the wing membranes, as if transforming into two massive tower shields, trying to deflect this mighty blow.

However, at the moment when the claws and dragon wings made contact.

She only felt an irresistible torrent of immense power surging, and the defensive black light on the dragon wings shattered like fragile glass.

Shield Rebound skill failed.

The supremely powerful force spread through her entire body.

Letitia’s massive dragon body was completely uncontrollable, sent flying backward, like being catapulted. After stumbling and plowing a long trench nearly a hundred meters in length in the ground, she barely managed to stop.

”Terrifying, pure to the extreme power, even surpassing an adult Red Iron Dragon.”

Letitia shook her slightly trembling, numb dragon wings, and just as she raised her head to look at where Galos was standing, she realized the dark red figure was no longer in sight!

Above!

The extraordinary perception and crisis anticipation of tactical wisdom were still in effect. In a critical moment, Letitia, relying on her combat instincts, fiercely rolled to the side.

Slice—!!!

A massive, rapidly spinning shadow shredded the ground where she had just stood.

Using his strong spine as an axis, Galos wielded his dragon wings, edged like great blades, in a devastating whirlwind of blades!

Letitia narrowly avoided the first attack.

But due to Galos’s incredible wingspan, with its terrifying attack range, she was still engulfed by subsequent spreading attacks.

Hardened Body!

A metallic sheen, dense like flowing mercury, instantly appeared and solidified on Letitia’s body surface—this was a signature magic-like skill that all Iron Dragons possessed.

Yet this was not enough.

As Hardened Body activated, she let out a low growl, magic energy surged like boiling water from her entire body, quickly forming a resilient, translucent magical energy protective membrane outside her scale armor.

Arcane Shift—capable of significantly weakening physical impacts and energy damage received.

Iron Dragons are renowned for their unparalleled defensive capabilities.

In terms of strength, they might lag behind Red Iron Dragons of the same level, but in body hardness and defensive ability, they often excel.

However.

Facing Galos’s attack, Letitia’s meticulously crafted dual-layer defense was still torn layer by layer.

The edges of the dragon wings, like gigantic blades, relentlessly slashed at her crossed wings and shoulder back.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Amidst a burst of violently flying sparks and the piercing sound of tearing, Letitia’s incredibly tough Iron Dragon scales were forcefully torn apart and shattered.

Scalding dragon blood immediately sprayed from the severe wounds.

”Am I, perhaps, not a match for Galos?”

The intense pain sank Letitia’s heart. She had roughly foreseen the ultimate outcome of this battle.

But the pride of being the older and more experienced party made her unwilling to admit defeat so easily.

Moreover, in her view, determining the victor in battle is not just about strength and defense.

Combat experience and timing are equally crucial.

No sign of battle scar patterns was visible on Galos’s body, which might mean that even though he is strong, he lacks rich experience in actual life-and-death battles.

If that’s the case.

If she could seize an excellent opportunity to deliver an unexpected heavy blow, there might still be a chance to turn the tide!

Rapid Strike!

Narrowly dodging a strong and powerful claw strike from Galos, Letitia’s speed sharply increased once more. She seized the fleeting gap, swiftly raising her sharp claws gleaming with a cold glow!

Magic Energy Burst!

With a short yet powerful Dragon Language chant, a highly unstable Magic Energy Sphere containing explosive power instantly compressed and gathered in her claw.

Magic Energy Surge!

A much larger surge of magic energy burst out from the Iron Dragon’s body like a flood, frantically pouring into the Magic Energy Sphere in her claw, causing its energy fluctuations to rapidly escalate, violently trembling.

The air around Letitia’s claw was distorting, making her appear as if she was grasping an energy vortex.

”A standard warrior path, also specializing in war magic.”

At this point, Galos was completely certain of the Iron Dragon Lady’s chosen career path.

The warrior path needs no explanation, as it’s the foundation of close combat.

War Magic is a unique caster path that combines the destructive force of the Molding School with the defensive aspect of the Defense School, focusing on both offense and defense.

It has fewer variations than purely molding or protecting paths, but its attack and defense magic are extremely pure and efficient, allowing for quick casting in a very short time, highly suitable for intense fast-paced close combat.

Simultaneously.

Facing this brewing dangerous strike, the Dragon Qi in Galos accelerated, swinging his claws.

Boom! Boom!

Their attacks hit each other’s chest almost simultaneously.

Pfft—!

Iron Dragon Lady Letitia was struck heavily, spewing a large gush of hot Dragon Blood from her mouth, her body being knocked back like a broken kite and crashing heavily onto the ground.

Her chest’s large area of steel scale armor was completely shattered and dented, even faintly revealing the outline of broken bones beneath.

On the other side.

Having taken a solid blow of heightened Magic Energy Burst, that highly concentrated explosive energy erupted into a glaring magical blaze on the Red Iron Dragon’s chest!

However.

Galos, heavy as cast iron, merely took a few steps back before steadily stopping, with the dark light on his body slowly fading.

Hardened Body, this magic-like skill he also possesses.

The inherent defense coupled with Hardened Body prevented Galos from being knocked back, or even losing balance and falling.

”Did...did I win?”

Letitia felt her head buzzing, waves of intense pain continuously accompanying the rising and falling of her chest.

She struggled to stand from the ground, immediately looking toward the direction of the Red Iron Dragon, then her expression instantly froze.

Under her gaze.

The Red Iron Dragon merely lowered his head slightly, extended his claw, and casually patted his chest, sweeping away fragments of exploded Cold Burst Scale from the surface, revealing the layer of densely covered, interwoven battle scar patterned black-red inner scales beneath.

On that scale armor, there were merely some light scorch marks and insignificant white impressions left.

”Do you still want to continue?”

Galos lifted his gaze, looking toward the scarred Iron Dragon Lady, his voice steady as if the attack that could heavily injure a similar level Giant Dragon was merely a breeze.

Silence persisted for several seconds.

Ultimately, Letitia slowly shook her head: ”No need, continuing to fight is meaningless.”

She had to admit this fact.

The indestructible defense Iron Dragons pride themselves on, the overwhelming strength Red Dragons boast about...these hallmark advantages of the two dragon species were perfectly and even exceedingly embodied in Galos.

And the other advantages neither the Iron Dragon nor Red Dragon possess, he seems to have as well.

Letitia focused intently on that vigorous dragon body seemingly containing infinite power, without showing any upset emotions due to her defeat.

The large muscles of her dragon face slowly twisted, finally revealing a smile.

”My dear Galos, your strength indeed far exceeds my most optimistic expectations.”

She said, ”I...am proud of you.”

This statement subtly diluted decades of estrangement due to separation, quietly bridging some of the special connection based on bloodline between them.

Clearly, Iron Dragon Letitia possesses extraordinary wisdom in communication and handling situations.

”This is thanks to the heritage from your bloodline, Mother, I am equally proud of it.”

Galos responded, his words again bridging some of the distance between them.

Evidently, well-versed in dragon nature, he also knows how to communicate with an Iron Dragon.
