Chapter 329 Red and Silver (Part 2)
With the violent fluctuations in space, several space portals appeared in the clouds behind Osedro.
"Elder, is that him?"
"Is that the evil dragon that ravaged the North?"
"We will protect the peace here! In the name of Melward!"
Silver dragons emerged from the swirling clouds one after another, hovering behind the ancient silver dragon, roaring in unison and majestically, cheering for the elder they respected.
Pairs of silver wings waved, reflecting sparkling light in the air.
There were also cloud giants and storm giants standing above the clouds, using their powerful spell-like abilities to control the climate changes around them, maintaining the area where the cold wind was howling, and preventing the red dragon's scorching influence from invading.
"Your Highness, 'Prince Dragon', our Faria clan has been ordered to help you!"
"Roar! Shameless metal dragon!"
"Master, that silver dragon is so arrogant! We have to teach him a lesson!"
Behind the red dragon, thirteen fierce blue dragons from the Faria clan, led by Christina, followed one after another, and the atavistic white dragon Tinia, whose size was comparable to that of the ancient white dragon, took off into the sky.
These five-color dragons all raised their heads, opened their bloody mouths, and roared with great power, and their momentum was no less than that of the silver dragon on the opposite side.
And behind these five-color dragons, there were hundreds of flying dragons waving their wings in a disorderly manner, making hoarse and mocking roars.
The red dragon and the silver dragon confronted each other in the air, and behind them were their respective families and the domains they controlled.
This was no longer a simple war between the Burning Kingdom and the United Kingdom of the North, but more like a miniature version of the "Dragon Fall War" between the metal dragons and the five-color dragons.
The two giant dragons standing at the top of the material world stared at each other from afar. In their eyes, there was only each other's figure. Everything else seemed meaningless in this level of battle, and could only be regarded as a dispensable foil and embellishment.
"Is this Osedro?"
"It didn't disappoint me. It's a tricky enemy."
Cassius waved his wings, and his pale golden vertical pupils stared at the huge silver dragon.
[Silver Wings - Osedro]
Challenge level: 25 (75000xp)
This is the most powerful enemy he has faced so far.
This ancient silver dragon is more than 30 meters long, almost reaching the peak of the silver dragon race. Even in the melee field that the red dragon is best at, he may not have much advantage - let alone spells.
A closer look will reveal that almost every scale of this silver dragon is engraved with complex magic runes, forming hundreds of spells on the surface of the body.
This was carved and accumulated bit by bit by Osedro as a "spell hoarder" over thousands of years. This is a mental illness for ordinary dragons, but this ancient silver dragon enjoys it.
Its claws are full of magic rings, and its wrists are all wearing fine gold and mithril bracelets.
In the gaps between the scales on its silver back and abdomen, there are also sparkling gems, which are life-saving gems that protect the wearer's vital parts from fatal injuries.
The most eye-catching is the chest of the silver dragon.
A metal disc is fixed to its chest by a ribbon passing through its forelimbs. Twelve magic stones of different colors are inlaid on the edge of the disc, and the center is engraved with the pattern of stars and nebulae - that is the holy emblem of Bahamut, the "Lord of the North Wind".
The phrase "armed to the teeth" is a particularly appropriate description for this ancient silver dragon.
Because he really did it.
A complex metal device called "Dragon Jaw" was worn in the mouth of the silver dragon, and several silver teeth with "Sharp Teeth" protruded out, and their tips flashed with aura that could pierce protective spells.
In front of this ancient silver dragon that was armed to the teeth and exuded heroic spirit, even Cassius, who was always proud of his wealth, felt ashamed and deeply felt the poverty of having only a few legendary equipment.
Above the clouds, Osedro's smooth, bright, plate-like face was also full of solemnity.
"'Dragon Prince' Cassius"
He looked at the red dragon in the distance, and complex magic patterns flashed in his mercury-like eyes, and a simple appreciation of the dragon's power emerged.
- Even as the silver dragon, the enemy of the red dragon, he had to admit that even in his long life of a thousand years, this red dragon could be ranked.
The opponent's super-giant body, which is comparable to the ancient red dragon, is almost the same as his. In fact, from the appearance, the red dragon's muscular body is even stronger.
The red dragon's body exudes unimaginable vitality. The four ferocious horns on its head spiral upward. The dragon crystal on its chest contains terrifying energy. The faint blood pressure is like those ancestral dragons in the dragon family heritage.
However, it is a young dragon after all. The red dragon seems to have only a few legendary equipment on its body, which also makes this ancient silver dragon feel an inexplicable sense of superiority. The dragon's desire to compete for wealth is satisfied at this moment.
He is a little poor.
But this is not the point.
It is hard for Osedro to imagine that this is still a giant dragon in the youth or even younger stage, but the fact is in front of him. He can even feel the other party's hot breath.
"His Majesty Bahamut's oracle is not wrong. This is an alien dragon with unlimited potential."
"Don't let him fall into the arms of Tiamat!"
"Otherwise - it will be a complete disaster for all metal dragons, and even all creatures in the prime material world that follow kindness and order!"
The ancient silver dragon thought so, his eyes became more determined, and there seemed to be waves surging in his mercury-like eyes.
The loud rebuke came out of his mouth like thunder, making everyone present serious.
"Brutal and barbaric red dragon!"
"Fate has given you powerful power, but you don't cherish it."
"For your own selfish interests and ambitions, you broke the thousand-year order between humans and dragons, destroyed the balance of the prime material plane, and endangered the peace and stability of the entire Erezegai."
"Therefore, in the name of the Lord of the North Wind -"
However, the crisp applause interrupted his generous words, followed by calm words.
"Well said."
"As expected of you, Lord Osedro, the famous 'Silver Wing'. Your hypocrisy is beyond my imagination."
Casius grinned slightly, revealing a smile that was particularly ferocious in people's eyes.
"So, who started this war?"
His tone became more and more passionate, and the [Trickster] showed his extraordinary charm that could distort reality.
"Who shamelessly launched a raid on the kingdom's caravan? Who sent tens of thousands of troops to wander around the kingdom, and called it the first line of defense?"
"Who squeezed the people's fat everywhere, forcibly conscripted men, established a military alliance, and started this large-scale war?"
"You"
Under his repeated questioning, even Osedro was speechless and could not answer, and the humans on the ground began to doubt their lives and even questioned the legitimacy of this war.
However, Cassius just exhaled a breath of hot sulfur and continued:
"Sir Osedro, since you are unwilling to answer directly, let me answer this question for you. I am talking about the Northern United Kingdom that you support, or more precisely, the Northern nobles headed by the Bosque family."
Osedro sneered and said disdainfully:
"Quibbling! If the North does not take the lead in attacking, will you and your monster kingdom stop expanding? Are the weapons you create that destroy nature only for self-defense?"
But after all, he is a silver dragon that has lived for thousands of years. Whether it is the ability to deal with changes or the thickness of his face, he is first-class.
Cassius couldn't help but laugh out loud. In this regard, this sanctimonious silver dragon was surprisingly similar to himself:
"Hahaha, of course not. After all, there are still countless people in the North who are cruelly oppressed by the nobles. They are all waiting for the coming of the kingdom, waiting for themselves to regain their freedom and move towards a new and beautiful world."
"Humph, a new world?"
"Lie! What you call a new world is endless smoke, corpses piled up in the wasteland, and bloody wars?"
The silver dragon roared, and as his magical voice came, countless images of the Burning Kingdom crushing the coalition forces and the ground being riddled with holes appeared in everyone's mind.
"No, you are wrong."
Casius shook his head gently, and there seemed to be flames burning in his light golden pupils.
"That is the price to pay for establishing a new order."
