A Dragon against the Whole World
Chapter 322 - 279: The ‘Passionate’ Reunion of the Red Dragon Father and the Iron Dragon Lady—Fiery Flame, Blood, and Death (Part 3)
The wide and massive pair of wings were brutally broken and twisted at a cruel angle; the long neck twisted into a grotesque shape; the whole body was covered with charred marks emitting a pungent smell of burning flames... all signs of life were thoroughly extinguished.
Boom!
Accompanied by a terrifying sound like a meteor crashing to the ground, the deep crimson dragon landed beside the shattered corpse of the Metal Dragon.
"Gorsas!"
The roar of Iron Dragon Letitia echoed like a thunderclap.
Facing the almost molten gaze of the Iron Dragon, Red Dragon Gorsas instead spread his fang-filled mouth and laughed, "My dear Letitia, my treasure, my priceless wealth."
"Decades have passed, and you’re still as elegant and beautiful as ever."
Iron Dragon Letitia crouched low, her strong tail tensed behind like a steel whip, and she growled, "Get out! Gorsas! Leave my territory immediately!"
The Red Dragon ignored the murderous roar of the Iron Dragon, instead responding with a low, delighted laugh.
He extended a huge claw covered with crimson scales, its tips dripping with Metal Dragon blood, and casually toyed with the already twisted and deformed head as if it were a broken toy.
"Your little toy couldn’t even withstand a few casual claw strikes from me. So fragile, little Letty. It seems your judgment has declined quite a bit since back then."
Suddenly, as if discovering something amusing, he quickly coiled his sturdy tail around, easily picking up the broken horn of the Metal Dragon.
Then, he placed the broken horn crookedly on his own huge head, bristling with fierce dragon horns and covered in menacing spines, as if it were a crown.
"Hahaha!"
Gorsas let out a deafening laugh and said, "Look! Look at me now— don’t I appear more majestic and invincible?! This is the regal presence worthy of you, Letitia!"
Unable to hold back any longer!
The Iron Dragon’s claws crushed the rocks as her wings flapped, stirring up a violent wind, her twenty-meter-long sturdy body suddenly charging at the Red Dragon Gorsas.
The teasing smile on the Red Dragon Gorsas’s face vanished instantly the moment the Iron Dragon launched her attack, as if changing faces.
His fiery crimson claw, mercilessly swung towards the advancing Iron Dragon.
A battle between dragons erupted in an instant.
The powerful servant leaders within the Iron Dragon’s domain, disturbed by their master’s encounter with a formidable foe, roared angrily as they rushed out of their nests, trying to support their lord.
However, the Red Dragon’s aura was so overwhelming that the weaker ones were pressed down to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, lacking even the courage to stand.
Only a few of the bravest and most absolutely loyal leaders to Letitia could barely withstand the soul-shaking pressure, roaring as they joined this apex battle between the giant dragons.
The outcome for them, however, can only be described as moths drawn to fire.
The Red Dragon did not even spare them a glance, continuing to frenziedly swing his massive claws or lash his spine-covered tail around.
Those leaders who bravely rushed forward, including the Dragon Vein followers that Letitia had painstakingly nurtured, were immediately slaughtered in the most brutal manner by the Red Dragon, their broken bodies and blood raining down on the earth.
This power-imbalanced fight lasted just over ten minutes.
Thud!
With an intense, dull sound, the Red Dragon Gorsas stamped down hard on Iron Dragon Letitia’s chest with his scale-armored foot, crushing her into a deep, fractured pit on the ground.
The Red Dragon looked down from above, glaring at the Iron Dragon trapped beneath him.
"Listen, bitch!"
"You, Letitia, will always belong to me, Gorsas! You are my most precious treasure! My possession! I won’t allow—I absolutely forbid—you to have any form of contact with any other male giant dragon! Not even a glance! Otherwise—"
His claw pressure intensified, causing Letitia’s scale armor to crack further, while the rocks beneath crumbled under the strain.
"—he will serve as your example!"
The Red Dragon’s gaze swept over the broken corpse of the Metal Dragon beside them.
The Iron Dragon no longer roared in vain rage, instead she swung her tail, lashing at the Red Dragon’s head.
Gorsas snorted impatiently, blocked the tail with a claw, and with a powerful shove, propelled Letitia’s massive body into the air, slamming her violently into the steep wall of the sky pit.
The ground shook violently, and countless stones crashed down.
Letitia’s body was embedded deep into the rock wall, her hard dragon scales grinding against the mountain rock, creating a teeth-clenching screeching sound!
Then.
Under the gaze of Iron Dragon Letitia, who was brought to the extreme of fury by the pain and humiliation.
Gorsas’s terrifyingly fierce expression suddenly vanished without a trace, as if the brutal battle that had just taken place had never occurred.
"Letitia."
Gorsas’s voice softened considerably, even tinged with a tone of apology.
"You see my violent temper, I’m really sorry, it seems I went a bit too far just now."
He spread his huge paw, making a helpless gesture: "I know, you have many complaints about me, surely harboring a grudge from decades ago."
"But rest assured! My dear!"
Gorsas’s voice suddenly rose, full of ambitious fervor and confidence: "My return to the Sel Wilderness this time is no accident."
"Fate has long dictated that I, Gorsas, shall rule this vast expanse of land! All living creatures on this land, whether humble insects or proud dragons, one day shall grovel beneath my great dragon wings! Submissive to my supreme power!"
He stood upright, spreading his forelimbs, as if embracing the future of the entire wilderness.
"Here, I will establish an unprecedented, powerful nation of my own! An empire worthy of your status and ambition!"
"Then, my dear Letitia, I will open my arms to you once again! To grant you ultimate glory and power! Giving you the chance... to become the one and only true queen of my empire!"
As he finished speaking, his expression abruptly turned menacing and ferocious, and his tone shifted.
"But until then, Letitia, you are my treasure and possession, and if you dare to escape the wilderness, dare to defy my will, I assure you, you will pay a terrible price."
After declaring his grand ambitions and his dominion over the Iron Dragon.
The entire body of the Red Dragon ignited with flames, and he soared into the sky, disappearing into the deep night in an instant.
"Gorsas... damned bastard."
Letitia’s gaze was icy cold as she arduously stood up.
Since Gorsas followed his instincts and awakened his ancestral blood, his temperament had become increasingly erratic and ferocious, now utterly unreasonable and difficult to communicate with.
But she had long known this and was not intimidated by the Red Dragon’s capricious and erratic temperament. Instead, she tried to calm herself, contemplating how to respond.
"Gorsas’s temper ensures he will stand in opposition to all living creatures."
"Even his own kindred, also Evil Dragons, would see him as a source of danger, let alone the Metal Dragons. Dragons... other dragons in the wilderness, I can try to ally with them to fight against Gorsas together."
Iron Dragon Letitia quietly thought to herself.
