A Dragon against the Whole World

Deborah and her Red Copper Dragon mother retreated to the peak on the right side of Dragon Valley, leaving room for the ’sparring’ between the Red Iron Dragon and the Silver Dragon.

"Will it be alright? The way they look, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a simple sparring session."

Her gaze fell on the two tense dragons, and Deborah couldn’t help but whisper worriedly.

"Don’t worry, there’s no need to worry about Galos; your father will be measured, he won’t go overboard."

Hearing her mother’s words, Deborah blinked and whispered, "Hmm... Actually, I’m not worried about Galos."

Not using magic-like skills or professional skills.

In this situation, Deborah didn’t have much confidence in her old father.

She had seen Galos fight and was well aware of how ferocious Galos was in battle.

That steep and savage body wasn’t just dangerous looking; it contained extraordinary power, and the Red Iron Dragon’s rationality was enough to perfectly harness it, playing at its best.

The Silver Dragon father was using his weaknesses to collide with Galos’ strengths.

Even though there’s a significant difference in life levels between the two.

But the outcome is hard to say.

"Not worried about Galos?"

"Then what are you worried about?"

Red Copper Dragon Selena tilted her head, somewhat puzzled, but didn’t inquire further, focusing more on the impending battle.

At this time, the sky before dawn was gray-blue, like an unbroken, endless dark gemstone, casting a faint, misty glow.

Silver Dragon Adri revealed his true form and stretched his wings, with a crystal-like sheen flowing across the membranes.

He wasn’t using any magic-like abilities, but the natural dragon majesty of the mature Silver Dragon still made the surrounding air become stagnant, as if even the wind was fearfully circumventing this area.

Dragon majesty sternly.

His strength wasn’t as evident as the Red Iron Dragon.

But his length was a full twenty-five meters, and though not slender, his fit dragon body was overall more imposing than the Red Iron Dragon.

Galos took a deep breath, his Cold Burst Scale slightly trembled, the sword-like spikes clanged sharply, every muscle wound tight as steel wires, ready to explode with thick power, poised for battle.

Silver Dragon Adri moved first.

He flapped his wings, advancing towards Galos.

Not with a frenzied rush, but with elegant and precise movements, yet extremely swift.

In an instant.

The Silver Dragon approached, his forepaw shot out like lightning, though the tips hadn’t reached, a fierce cold pressure already sliced towards Galos’ face armor.

The Red Iron Dragon didn’t block directly.

He abruptly twisted his body, avoiding the Silver Dragon’s attack while flames ignited on his claws, the scorching claw tips burned red like branding irons, whistling towards the Silver Dragon’s head.

Bang!

A dull collision resounded.

Adri’s left foreleg lifted, muscle fibers instantly tautened like tempered steel wires, steadfastly taking the hit, the mithril-like scales didn’t shatter, only slightly dented and cracked.

The defense of an adult Silver Dragon, honed through centuries, was something else.

The Silver Dragon sneered, his right claw shifted down, drawing a chilling arc like a silver moon descending, aiming straight for the Red Iron Dragon’s neck.

Galos jerked his head, lifted his shoulder to strike.

Thud!

The Silver Dragon’s giant claw hit the Red Iron Dragon’s body, covering almost half of Galos’ side due to the size difference between them.

Galos felt like he’d been hit by a Cold Iron Mountain.

Even without augmentation or enhancement through skills, the Silver Dragon’s claw was still permeated with cold, and forcefully impactful.

The savage, sharp spikes on his body snapped one by one, crushed by the Silver Dragon’s giant claw but quickly regenerated at a visible rate.

The surrounding Cold Burst Scale, while cracking and collapsing, absorbed kinetic energy.

Galos felt cold all over, yet a heat was gradually accumulating inside him, intense and searing.

The Cold Burst Scale absorbed kinetic energy, keeping Galos unfazed by the Silver Dragon’s claw strike.

In the slightly surprised eyes of the Silver Dragon, the Red Iron Dragon suddenly raised his head.

He aggressively thrust his head forward, armored with the heaviest scales, with dragon horns that became his mightiest weapon at this moment, smashing towards the Silver Dragon’s jaw.

Clang—!

A metallic crash-like roar accompanied by shock waves spread, vibrating the air into ripples.

With honed battle skill, the Silver Dragon didn’t let the Red Iron Dragon’s headbutt hit his body.

Galos’ headbutt solidly struck the Silver Dragon’s palm, bursting out a visually perceptible ring-shaped air wave.

In the sky, Adri was forced back half a step by the brute force, his palm throbbed with pain, the dragon horns penetrated his fine-scale defense, tearing into flesh.

Galos felt his head buzz.

Adri’s bone density, scale hardness, body strength... exceeded his anticipation.

Silver Dragons are often compared with Red Dragons, and never known for physical prowess.

But that’s in comparison to Red Dragons.

Silver Dragons are tougher than most Dragon Race, second only to Golden Dragons among the Metal Dragons, and weaker only to Red Dragons among the Five-Colored Dragons.

"Red Iron Lad, I’ve caught you."

The old Silver Dragon father sneered, revealing a somewhat Evil Dragon-like expression.

Crack—tear!

His hand claw burst with power, allowing the Red Iron Dragon’s dragon horns to delve further into flesh, while clamping his claw around the Red Iron Dragon’s head like an iron vice.

He endured the pain to tighten his hooked claws, locking Galos’ head despite the dragon horns tearing tissue.

At the same time, Silver Dragon blood flowed through the wound torn by the dragon horns, dripping down.

Landing on the Red Iron Dragon, it instantly crystallized into ice clusters.

Galos found his head tightly bound, while frigid cold invaded his brain, freezing his mind, making his thoughts sluggish and his reactions slower.

Bang bang bang!

In this brief moment of sluggishness,

The Silver Dragon grabbed the Red Iron Dragon’s head with one claw and showered blows onto the Red Iron Dragon with the other, like a storm, relentless.

One by one, the Cold Burst Scales shattered.

The Red Iron Dragon at this moment appeared to be getting single-sidedly beaten.

However.

The Silver Dragon knew clearly that this pesky Red Iron Lad had nearly maxed out in defense and counter-attacks; he wasn’t truly hurt yet.

Instead, it was him who had many broken spikes stuck in his palm and his scales torn apart by the dragon horns, already losing quite some blood.

Those spikes regenerated at high speed and were particularly sharp.

He suffered minor injuries himself with each attack.

And he’d long noticed the Red Iron Dragon had dual-layered scales, now seemingly cracking, with shattered scales flying around, but in actuality still not a big deal.

"Peel off his outer scales first!"

The Silver Dragon’s mind flashed like lightning, his attacks became fiercer.

During this plight.

Galos, being suppressed, didn’t vigorously resist, merely defending a few weak spots, silently bearing the adult Silver Dragon’s ’beating,’ while as the Cold Burst Scales broke, the internal heat energy steadily rose.

He was waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Soon.

Under the Silver Dragon’s fierce assault, the Red Iron Dragon’s outer scales virtually entirely shattered, revealing a core layer of hard dragon scales, black with red patterns.

"Dragon lad, next—"

The Silver Dragon’s face showed a joyful smile, then stiffened again.
