Beneath the Red Dragon

”Our lineage of dragons, although driven by nature, is also compelled by a mission,”

The Eternal Punishment Dragon sneered, ”We, the Eternal Punishment Dragons, have taken the Land of Divine Promise as our prison domain, but little did we know, we are the guardians there, and also prisoners there,”

”Even today, abandoned by the gods, that mountain range remains the prison of our Eternal Punishment Dragons, haha, the prisoners of the past have become my masters, yet I have received no mercy,”

”This is a dragon,” the Eternal Punishment Dragon mocked loudly, its pitch-black eyes flashing with eerie green light. Boiling magic power surged with his anger, as the souls of many imprisoned captives roared and struggled from the strange pattern on his scales, exposing their faces, wailing toward the dragons below.

”Even though we were driven by dragons, it was always taken for granted. This is the dragon you speak of, ruled by those lofty Dragon Gods!”

The sound of crossbows and heavy cannons erupted from the city walls, echoing the words of the Eternal Punishment Dragon, as the thunderous explosion cracked open the hearts of a few Lord Giant Dragons.

”Then you should stop and see for yourself in the land of dragons, the Golden Empire, a realm truly built and ruled by dragons,”

A calm voice resounded beside the ears of the confronting dragons, as another dragon stepped out from the anchor point of Heart Energy’s teleportation—the Golden Grand Clock, transforming from a humanoid form into a strong dragon.

Blue Dragon Doss, at that moment, descended through a teleportation passage unique to the Giant Dragon Lords.

The Three-headed Dragon in the sky bared its teeth, all three heads simultaneously letting out mocking laughter. It said, ”You may temporarily halt our actions, but your warriors cannot stop those giants,”

”Dragons should be solitary, coming and going as they please. Those beloved and forces are merely tools for dragons to enjoy and exploit. Why do you care so much? Those weak and insignificant ones do not deserve to survive in this world.”

”Is that so,” Blue Dragon Doss grinned, lifting its head, its enormous dragon horns nearly piercing the sky. From the dragon’s perspective, on the firmament above, a rumbling shadow appeared to drift slowly along its path.

”Perhaps, you will be disappointed, foolish creature hiding in a remote corner without a clear understanding of the world,” Blue Dragon Doss scoffed, ”I greatly disagree with the first part of your statement, but the latter part makes perfect sense to me, in regards to you.”

Crackle,

When a massive magic barrier slowly rose, centering on the Tree of Life stationed in Bay Stream City,

Dazzling currents surged over the Blue Dragon, long inactive, as Blue Dragon Doss leaped and roared, ”First, take out this ugly creature,”

”Azure Thunder Prison,”

Roar,

Rolling thunder resounded, lightning flashed amidst black clouds, and scorching white lightning descended in succession, piercing through layers of black clouds, plunging like battle lances around the Multi-headed Dragon, forming chains then turning into a cage, imprisoning the adult Multi-headed Dragon.

”Roar,”

The few dragons, accustomed to coordination, all took flight simultaneously, letting out a roar, with fierce frost and azure lightning suddenly striking, as the wind-swept, knotted vines reached for the sky with tendrils and thorns.

The dragons’ battle erupted in the sky, as dragons shuttled and struck through the chains of explosive black clouds.

But even the sky where dragons soar is not the highest beneath the firmament.

Below the firmament, above the cloud layer, a massive shadow progressed in a seemingly slow, yet incredibly fast, steady circular motion, displacing clouds enshrouded by the magic shadow of a towering structure.

But the sunlight in the sky could penetrate the magical shadow of the lofty structure, not affecting the area beneath the shadow.

Only the high-flying eagle and griffin in the sky, upon approaching, could see that within this immense shadow is a towering spire, continuously moving high above the heavens.

Atop the spire, a colossal energy crystal, shaped like a giant dragon’s eye, gazed at every place beneath the celestial dome.

This dragon’s eye connected to the elemental passage inside the Mage Tower, supplying abundant magic power, allowing the shadow of magic to cover every part of the tower, which stands six meters tall and with a twenty-meter-wide base, enabling it to remain unaffected by the strong winds of the high sky.

The space within the tower, seemingly more expansive than the tower’s capacity, with interior wide enough to accommodate a vast square.

Inside the Mage Tower, towering energy pillars stand, surrounding a central enormous elemental pool, injecting elemental power from connecting several small elemental planes into the elemental pool.

The surging elemental force is then distributed from the elemental pool through the energy channels within the Mage Tower, providing the immense power for the Mage Tower to soar through the skies.

Groups of busy casters and scholars in the Mage Tower, using various magical instruments, recorded and adjusted the operations of the first floating Mage Tower born in the Golden Empire.

Through plane development and trading with Secret Magic Merchant from the Star Realm and various civilized nations, the Golden Empire finally managed to construct their first scaled-down experimental elemental pool with Mage Tower, successfully taking to the skies.

If unregulated and unchecked, these mages and scholars could easily cause trouble. Fortunately, Karon always had comprehensive plans, ready for his scholars and mages to research and implement.
