Ashen Dragon

"I'll change the battlefield first to avoid damaging the Imperial Palace." Cassius snapped his fingers leisurely.

In an instant, the surrounding space became distorted, suddenly cracking, and the massive space fissures swallowed the female Red Dragon. In the blink of an eye, she found herself in a desolate and unfamiliar land.

Such terrifying spellcasting ability, I didn't even perceive it, yet I was transported to another space.

She didn't even have a chance to resist!

Dracalis was startled in her heart. She knew this majesty's spellcasting ability was extraordinarily powerful, but she hadn't expected it to be so overwhelming.

Time and space, under this Emperor's claws, were like fragile playthings, easily torn apart.

Seeing this, Dracalis was more eager to fight. She believed that only the strongest enemies could bring out her full potential.

The Emperor of the Crimson Dragon before her was undoubtedly one of them.

"Come then, His Majesty Cassius, let me see just how vast the gap between us truly is!"

Dracalis's eyes were filled with endless frenzy, her stout dragon body trembling violently with excitement, as if she were about to receive a magnificent blessing.

"Haha, it's the first time I've seen someone invite a beating, but..." Cassius paused, continuing, "I'm worried I might accidentally kill you."

"If I can die under your full strength, it would be my honor," Dracalis responded eagerly.

Cassius shook his head slightly with a hint of helplessness, then slowly stood up from the throne, his enormous 60-meter-long dragon body fully exposed before Dracalis.

What kind of giant dragon was this!

The Red Dragon in front of her had muscles knotted all over, its tail long and winding like a blood-colored ridge.

Thick smoke of sulfur and sparks spewed from its gaping maw, causing the surrounding air to distort with intense heat, forming visible waves of heat ripples.

The mere presence of the Red Dragon exuded an oppressive magnificence, a fiery violent beauty.

"Truly... perfect."

Dracalis gazed at Cassius enviously, involuntarily licking her lips.

Cassius spoke unhurriedly, "Well then... the duel begins."

The next moment, Cassius spread his massive wings, nearly enveloping Dracalis entirely in their shadow.

Ancestral Dragon's Might poured forth like a surging tidal wave, instantly drowning the opponent's soul.

[Ancestral Dragon Majesty]

"Buzz—"

Dracalis only heard a buzzing in her ears, her body, mind, and soul completely suppressed — it was an oppression stemming from the depths of her bloodline.

At this moment, she was like a small boat tossed in a turbulent storm, struggling hard to maintain her sanity, resisting the erosion of that Dragon's Might.

If she were the slightest bit careless, she would become a slave to the opponent.

"Kneel."

Cassius looked down at the female Red Dragon before him with an indifferent voice.

Dracalis's body trembled even more violently, every organ and cell within her screamed, wanting to succumb to the Crimson Dragon Emperor.

Yet, relying on her strong will, Dracalis withstood it, not succumbing to that terrifying oppression.

From her throat came a low whimper, "No, I cannot fall here... no!"

Suddenly, that sound gradually transformed into an impassioned roar.

Dracalis raised her head, letting out a long cry to the sky, her entire body wrapped in searing flames, as Ancestral Dragon Blood coursed fiercely through her veins.

Cassius showed a hint of surprise, "You actually resisted my Dragon's Might... interesting."

"Roar—"

Dracalis let out a fierce roar, suddenly flapping her wings, charging fiercely and menacingly towards the Crimson Dragon Emperor.

However, what greeted her was Cassius's piercing claws crashing through the air, accompanied by the sound of the air exploding.

"Swish—"

How could it be so fast?!

The shock in Dracalis's heart was indescribable. By her experience, the larger the being, the slower the actions.

But this Ashen Empire's Emperor exceeded her expectations. His speed was actually faster than hers! The power contained in those claws was terrifically formidable, enough to tear through space!

Danger!

She tried desperately to twist her body mid-air, assuming a peculiar stance to sidestep the attack.

But it was already too late.

"Boom!"

With a deafening sonic boom, a powerful airflow suddenly emerged in the sky, seemingly causing rifts in the space.

Shattered scales fell from the sky, scorching Dragon Blood splattered everywhere, and that nearly 30-meter-long female Red Dragon was already sent flying, turning into a scarlet shadow.

Under this horrifyingly intense force, Dracalis's muscles shattered, bones broke, her body ravaged into a mess, extremely miserable.

"Boom—"

She was sent flying over a hundred meters away, slamming hard into a distant mountain, causing the rocks to crumble, the mountain to collapse, and dust to rise into the sky.

"Not bad, even not dead from that." Cassius looked down at his claw, calmly assessing.

This female Red Dragon still had some value, so Cassius hadn't used all his strength as requested.

He probably used... four or five tenths of his strength?

But even that was quite exaggerated. It's worth noting Cassius's strength attribute was about to break the fortieth threshold, saying it could destroy the world was not an overstatement.

In most cases, even when Cassius only used less than half his strength, his opponents would turn into pulp and shatter into pieces.

Among the distant ruins, Dracalis spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood, letting out a miserable laugh, "Hahaha, so this is the kind of power possessed by those who can stand against the Dragon Queen."
