Beneath the Red Dragon

Chapter 114: Chapter 56: Ashes and Oath of Allegiance (Double-Length)

”Is this the Young Dragon?” Jackal Wolfman Yougu looked at the massive body of the Red Dragon, its entire form emanating the residual heat and sulfurous breath, making the Red Dragon seem as if it had returned from an endless Purgatory.

The rugged and muscular body resembled iron castings, exuding unparalleled strength and violence, and the branched Dragon Horns were the Scepter of the Giant Dragon’s power, the crown of the Demon King.

The grotesque head, covered with spikes on both cheeks, was the embodiment of authority and ferocity, with fearsome white fangs that were the Treasure Sword of the Dragon cutting through the constraints of the Noble Family, and a long, spiked tail that served as the Giant God’s whip shattering the shackles of the world.

”I can’t defeat this Red Dragon,” the thought flashed through the mind of the Jackal Wolfman Leader, and his desire to challenge the Giant Dragon had sunken deep into the Abyss, buried by the putrid mud.

Yougu bowed its always-proud head deeply, lamenting, ”Honorable...”

Boom, the enormous body of the Red Dragon appeared exceptionally agile, its turbulent Fire Prison serving as a bridge spanning horizons, slapping the Jackal Wolfman Leader into the dirt with a single strike.

Poof,

Even the naturally gifted Jackal Wolfman Leader, who touched the edges of the Holy Sanctuary, appeared fragile before the casual swipe of a Giant Dragon, akin to a child before an adult. Yougu’s bones felt nearly broken, a gush of blood spurted out, and he lay limply on the ground.

”Karon,” Black Dragon Rosani limped forward but did not approach the Fire Prison, and greeted.

”Hmm,” the Red Dragon nodded, then turned to the Jackal Wolfman lying on the ground and said, ”Stand up, Jackal Wolfman. I don’t like it when someone shows such humility before me.”

Jackal Wolfman Yougu hurriedly scrambled to his feet, forcing himself to stand tall.

Boom,

Karon slapped the standing Jackal Wolfman Yougu away again, saying coldly, ”You should learn humility before a Giant Dragon.”

The Jackal Wolfman Barbarian Soldiers and Jackal Wolfman Mages exchanged looks, not daring to move.

”Cough, cough,” the Jackal Wolfman Leader Yougu, constantly coughing up blood, supported his body with his hand and knelt down towards the Red Dragon, remaining silent.

”Karon, these Jackal Wolfmen should submit now,” Black Dragon Rosani said, seeing the Fire Prison dissipate, attempting to persuade the Red Dragon.

Karon nodded, his eyes sweeping over the battlefield filled with the corpses of Centaurs, then narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, a crimson line of fire ignited from the Red Dragon’s chest and abdomen, quickly spreading to its throat.

The Red Dragon opened its mouth, where the torrent of Magic Power merged with a blazing inferno, and the ferocious Dragon Fire overwhelmed everything, spraying out in a cone-shaped flame.

Woosh,

The flame swept over those still hesitant Jackal Wolfman Barbarian Soldiers, scorching their bodies, eliciting sharp screams of agony.

”Raise the Magic Shield,”

The Jackal Wolfman Mages screamed, and a thick Magic Shield rose from around them to meet the all-consuming Dragon Fire.

Crackle, the thick Magic Shield quickly weakened, and the dense Spiritual Light rapidly withered under the Dragon Fire, eventually shattering after a few breaths, roasting the Magic-depleted Mages into charcoal.

The Red Dragon moved its head, casting destructive Dragon Fire upon Jackal Wolfmen surrounding the Centaur, who wailed in despair, unable to resist without a leader, nor escape under the Giant Dragon’s watch, turning into ashes on the spot.

The Dragon Beasts attempting to flee also received the Red Dragon’s attention, and once the concentrated flame touched their fur, it clung to them like marrow to bone, until the host was reduced to ash.

The Jackal Wolfman Leader Yougu, kneeling nearby, felt the high temperature of the Dragon Fire searing his face, yet an icy dread crept up his back, but he kept his head low, not daring to speak.

This terrifying scene frightened those usually ferocious Jackal Wolfmen, and finally, some realized, kneeling down to the ground, shouting loudly, ”The Jackal Wolfmen are willing to submit to the great True Dragon, to become the loyal servants of the Giant Dragon, living for the Giant Dragon’s will!”
