Chapter 465 -387: The City-Destroying Giant Dragons

“Boom!”

Another bolt of lightning struck down, turning three or four Fire Giant soldiers on the metal city wall into flames.

“Lord of Flames…”

“This…”

As the natural rulers of the Fire Elemental Plane and the elite among elemental creatures, the Fire Giants were few in number.

In the vast kingdom ruled by the Fire Giant Sultan, there were only about a hundred thousand Fire Giants, and over a thousand Maliks—this was the nobility of the Fire Giants.

And within this kingdom, there were enormous numbers of slaves, including native species like Fire Dwarves and Fire Lizards, as well as otherworldly species such as humans and orcs.

Therefore, for the kingdom of the Fire Giants, every Fire Giant who could be called a “citizen” was incredibly precious.

Seeing his subordinates die one after another, Machei’s expression turned into one of shock. He pointed his scimitar toward the sky.

“Red Dragon! We never provoked you! Why are you targeting us Fire Giants like this?”

“Aren’t you afraid of the Great Sultan’s wrath?”

From within the clouds, those massive wings appeared now and then, with pale golden pupils like two twinkling stars.

“Fire Giants—”

“Blame your Emir—Hamid Abdul, whom the Great Sultan sent!”

“He hunted my retainers, killed my soldiers, and even insulted me and my empire to my face!”

“If Hamid indeed represents the will of the Great Sultan as he claimed, then your kingdom of the Fire Giants is declaring war on the Ashen Empire!”

The thunderous voice echoed over Black Iron City, making every Fire Giant tremble in their hearts.

“Hamid!”

“That damned fool!”

Machei cursed bitterly, his whole body trembling with rage.

In his mind, Hamid had already been thrown into the Infinite Fire Hell countless times and subjected to countless severe punishments.

His stupidity and arrogance were one thing.

But to have brought such a terrifying enemy upon the Fire Giants!

But regardless, he couldn’t let the Great Sultan be humiliated, nor could he allow the Fire Giants’ reputation to be tarnished!

Thinking of this, the Fire Giant noble raised his scimitar again and said loudly: “Red Dragon, there is still room for reconciliation between us!”

“As long as you surrender now, I am willing to petition the Great Sultan to negotiate peace with your empire!”

“You?”

First came a sonic boom, followed by the massive black shadow descending from the sky, crashing onto the metal city wall.

“Boom!”

“Lord of Flames! Help! It’s, it’s coming down!”

“That’s the Soul Devouring Dragon!”

The grating sound of metal could be heard as the wall deeply caved in, with iron scraps and fragments flying everywhere.

The Red Dragon walked along the wall as if strolling, crushing any Fire Giant soldier standing in its way with its enormous dragon body.

Its thick giant tail, like a heavy hammer, needed just a light flick to send dozens of Fire Giant soldiers flying away, screaming.

“No—”

“Lord of Flames, what is this power!”

Its massive claws casually swung out, with the shimmering claw-shaped force fields dancing chaotically along the wall.

“Swoosh—”

The grating sound of metal echoed again, with several Fire Giant soldiers, along with their copper shields, being cut in half.

Deep claw marks were left on the wall, looking like horrific wounds.

This was the strength of the Red Dragon; they were called “war machines” for a reason.

And as a Red Dragon with cheats, Cassius’ strength, combined with his ancient dragon size and various spell abilities, was even more exaggerated.

Cassius slowly opened his mouth, with the dragon crystal in his chest flickering with fiery light, spewing out an extremely scorching Dragon Breath, imbued with higher magical essence.

“Boom—”

The dragon flame engulfed the vicinity, devouring the fleeing Fire Giants, and even the black iron-built city wall started to melt, with black ironwater dripping down.

“Quick! Now’s the time!”

“Shoot him dead!”

“Aim for the dragon’s chest! Aim for his heart!”

Machei waved his scimitar, shouting anxiously.

From his military experience, the heavy ballista was the best way to deal with such gigantic creatures.

They might be immensely powerful, capable of crushing everything, but they were often slow-moving, only making them a sitting target.

“Hurry! Follow the Emir’s order!”

“Do you still want to live? If we don’t kill this dragon, we’ll be the ones to die!”

On the metal city wall, staring at the steadily approaching Red Dragon, casually killing as it advanced, the Fire Giant officer howled, urging his men on.

Several Fire Giant soldiers loaded giant arrows, turning the winch with all their might while aiming the ballista.

“Fire!”

“Kill him!”

The ballista, enhanced with Fire Elemental magic, released a terrifying energy, with surging flames overflowing from it.

The nearly three-meter-long giant arrow, imbued with this devastating power, trailed flames as it shot through the air.

“Whoosh—”

The Fire Giants’ ballista, meticulously crafted by Fire Dwarves, was indeed capable of slaying an adult Red Dragon.

All the Fire Giants present held their breath.

“Boom—”

A blast of air struck, making the metal city wall cave in again as the gigantic Red Dragon stomped on the wall, ascending into the sky at an incredible speed.

“What?”

“How is this possible?”

The Fire Giants exclaimed in shock, nervously raising their heads.

In just a few breaths, the Red Dragon had ascended a hundred meters.

In the high sky, Cassius spread his wings, radiant flames bursting out from behind him, and his dragon form turned into a scarlet blur.

“Boom!”

Another torrential blast of air erupted.

The Red Dragon dived down, crashing onto the ground, crushing the Fire Giant soldiers and several ballistas into smithereens.

Sporadic arrows and spears flew, but before those weapons could touch his body, they were deflected by the invisible energy scales, bouncing away.

Smoke filled the air on the city wall, revealing the massive form of the Red Dragon emerging gradually.

The Fire Giants, abandoning their usual arrogance, started praying to the Lord of Flames and retreated continuously, fearing being devoured by the terrifying Red Dragon.

Even their scimitars fell to the ground, making a crisp clanging sound.

“Fire Giants…”

“You still haven’t recognized your place.”

With a calm tone, Cassius said: “I told you, with your status… you are not qualified to negotiate with me!”

“Die!”

“For the Great Sultan!”

Suddenly, heart-wrenching war cries came from behind the Red Dragon.

Machei charged down on a Fire Drake, fiercely swinging his scimitar at the Red Dragon’s thick neck.

Cassius turned his head with an indifferent expression.

“Clang—”

The ear-piercing clash of metal resounded.

The scimitar struck the hard red scales, shattering in midair into fragments.

Machei’s arm went numb from the impact, his face contorted in disbelief.

This was the scimitar bestowed by the Great Sultan himself! Its strength was comparable to rare equipment!

He didn’t know that Cassius’ scales were literally “forged with gold coins.”

Over the years, the Red Dragon had swallowed tens of thousands of gold coins, and the traits of his gilded scales had reached their peak, with each scale harder than rare armor.

With an indifferent gaze, Cassius looked at the Fire Giant noble in midair and softly said:

“Where does your confidence come from?”

The Red Dragon’s giant claw broke through the air, dragging the precious mutated Fire Drake straight into the Other-Dimensional Space’s “Egg of Sanctuary.”

Desperately trying to escape the Red Dragon’s claws, Machei’s lower body turned into smoke and ashes.

Yet, in a flash, he was caught by the Red Dragon, unable to move at all.

Machei struggled with all his might, roaring hoarsely: “If you kill me, the Great Sultan won’t spare you! I am his personal guard! A noble Kapukulu!”

With some regret, Cassius shook his head and sighed softly.

“Well, I wanted to ask if you could grant me three wishes with one wish, to satisfy my long-standing curiosity…”

“But it seems it has to be shelved for now.”

Surging dragonflame climbed along his arm, closing in and engulfing the robust Fire Giant noble.
