Another Storm Dragon Knight chimed in, "If worse comes to worst, we just run... It's one thing if we die, but the dragon shouldn't be left hanging here."
Bynabert: "The Platinum Family is hopelessly split! Even the Holy Light Dragon King's son stands by while Nuyalius dies. Are you trying to overturn the immortal empire built by the Sky God himself?"
Drunken Dream boldly responded, locking eyes with Bynabert, battle intent flaring. This was going to be a fierce fight!
"Good! Good!" Bynabert laughed wildly, his mount, the Fire Dragon, radiating fierce flames as it prepared for another breath attack. The Dragon Knights behind him let out a roar of victory.
Aside from the four great dragon clans, they were the ultimate authority in the Light Dragon Empire—absolute rulers!
"Go, and ensure victory in this dragon battle."
On the other side, Orson landed on the ground, gently patting the Crimson Lizard King's head with a smile, "Eat as much as you can, and if you can't finish it, pack it up."
Roar!!
The Crimson Lizard King, excited, let out a loud roar, flailing its "little legs" in joy.
"Death God Dragon Clan..."
"Heresy! This is heresy! It's the one who devoured Nuyalius!"
Bynabert was stunned as a massive black shadow charged up at incredible speed, rivaling even the Storm Dragon.
The Crimson Lizard King's blood-red eyes gleamed with cunning as it opened its massive jaws and clamped down on the Fire Dragon's neck.
The Fire Dragon's eyes were filled with terror as blood and flames erupted from its mouth, a clear sign of magical backlash!
"What a cunning dragon... it's not even being controlled by a player."
The nearby Dragon Knights were shocked. Whenever a player controlled a beast, a "controlled" status would appear above the beast's head. But this enormous black dragon was fighting on its own.
At the perfect moment, using its innate dragon ability "Deadly Bite", the Crimson Lizard King bit down just when the Fire Dragon's breath attack was at its weakest.
Magic Backlash -10,000,000!
Deadly Bite -3,000,000!
Crippled Blow -1,000,000!
Fatal Blow -5,000,000!
...
The Fire Dragon's neck was almost completely severed, hanging by a thin strip of flesh and scales. Its health dropped at a terrifying rate.
This was the melee strength of the Death God Dragon Clan. With the support of Ancient Will, they knew their "prey's" weaknesses inside and out.
Body Domination!
Bynabert was shocked. The Fire Dragon tossed its body, summoning vast fire elements to repair its nearly severed neck, barely staving off the Crimson Lizard King's bite.
"You dare hurt my companion? Tear it apart!" Bynabert roared in fury.
Over ten Dragon Knights on their dragons charged toward the Crimson Lizard King.
Though the Crimson Lizard King was also a Domain Lord-Class dragon, just like the other lower-tier giants, it had the health of a Water Dragon, the speed of a Wind Dragon, the defense of Golden Dragons, and the violent breath of a Fire Dragon...
Its black dragon body twisted and whipped like a fierce tornado, its wing tips slashing like dragon blades.
One Wind Dragon, attempting to ambush, had its wings pierced. The wing was then torn to shreds as the Crimson Lizard King flung it aside.
Then, it stomped on an Inkfeather Dragon—an unmounted, mutated dragon that compared to a lower-level dragon. The terrifying dragon strength crushed it into the ground.
Crushing Damage -3,000,000!
Not done yet, the Crimson Lizard King extended its pitch-black claws and grabbed hold of an Earth Dragon's neck, embedding its claws deep into its scales.
The Earth Dragon screamed in agony as the Crimson Lizard King hovered in the air, its claws tightening. The Earth Dragon, no longer controlled by its rider, opened its mouth in helplessness.
The Crimson Lizard King opened its vast abyssal jaws and unleashed a Doom Dragon Breath straight into the Earth Dragon's mouth.
Fatal Blow -10,000,000!
Percentage True Damage -1,000,000!
Percentage True Damage -1,000,000!
...
The Earth Dragon's orange-yellow body turned ghostly black after just one blast of the Doom Dragon Breath, its body swelling as though about to explode.
"Damn heresy!"
The Dragon Knight riding the Earth Dragon cursed as he drove his dragon spear forward, charging at the Crimson Lizard King.
Clang!
Overlimit Block -10,000!
Overlimit Block -15,000!
Sparks flew as the Crimson Lizard King deflected the attack with ease.
Drunken Dream, riding Denoka, quickly followed and intercepted the potentially dangerous magic backlash strike meant for the Crimson Lizard King, while Lilith, his NPC companion, waved her staff to heal him.
Boom!
Suddenly, a dull explosion rang out, and the Dragon Knights watching were left dumbfounded.
The Earth Dragon, under the Body Domination aura, had its skill activate too late. Its body exploded violently, sending blood and flesh flying in all directions.
The only thing left was its massive dragon head, which the Crimson Lizard King casually grabbed and tossed aside, devouring it with a single mouthful.
The earth-shattering crunch of the Earth Dragon's skull filled the air.
"Monster... no wonder Denoka was so afraid of it."
Drunken Dream felt a chill run down his spine as he swiftly withdrew several hundred meters, realizing the full extent of the power of the Crimson Lizard King.
Not only were the players stunned, but even Bynabert and the others were left pale-faced.
They had only heard of such invincible creatures in legends, but they never expected to encounter something so bloodthirsty and brutal!
"Fire Dragon, I ate your ancestor."
The Crimson Lizard King spoke in dragon language, its black horns glowing with fiery flames, resembling a flickering lantern in the wind.
"Return to my embrace, along with your ancestors."
A familiar aura surged within the Fire Dragon's bloodline, a sensation coming directly from the Twin-Headed Fire Dragon King.
Under the Crimson Lizard King's piercing gaze, the Fire Dragon began to tremble uncontrollably, turning to flee in panic.
"Stop!"
Bynabert screamed in horror, and the Crimson Lizard King's bloodshot eyes gleamed with violence. Its wings spread wide.
S-Class Fire Magic · Blazing Meteor Shower!
The Crimson Lizard King's black dragon flame surged violently, and dozens of fiery meteors crashed into the fleeing Fire Dragon.
"Crimson Lizard King has new lines!"
On the ground, Orson looked up in surprise, holding a jug of Lucid Dream, realizing he had grown fond of it recently.
