“Order?”
“The new order will be established by me!”

Cassius roared towards the sky, his whole body bulging with veins, muscles protruding like iron blocks. His wings suddenly flapped, and the massive body shot up into the sky like an arrow off a bowstring.
“Boom!”
The ground where the Red Dragon had previously been standing suddenly cracked, forming a dense web of fissures and a massive pit dozens of meters wide.
Invisible air currents instantly spread out from the center of the pit, sweeping across the entire wasteland. The gale, mixed with sand and gravel, was so strong that mortals hundreds of meters away couldn’t open their eyes.
...
The Red Dragon folded his wings tightly against his body, forming an aerodynamic streamlined shape.
He rapidly ascended, sparks flying from the friction on his scales. Flames spewed from the pores on his neck and tail, and he trailed a brilliant fiery tail behind him, like a meteor rising in reverse, reaching hundreds of meters in altitude in the span of a single breath.
Cassius was surrounded by flames, lightning, and ashes. As his speed increased, turbulent streams of spell energy formed around his body.
The massive dragon body tore through the air, causing sonic booms one after another, heading straight for the Ancient Silver Dragon high in the sky.
Osedro’s expression became grave; he could see the fearsome power behind this attack.
The Ancient Silver Dragon raised the Star Realm Scepter in his claw and chanted ancient draconic words filled with endless magic power. Countless silver stars surrounded him. They interconnected and spun rapidly, forming a densely packed network sphere with a diameter of hundreds of meters, shining with dazzling brilliance.
But this wasn’t the end. The outer layer of the network was covered by smooth, transparent, extremely cold ice crystals. These smooth surfaces emitted coldness and reflected dazzling spell radiance, finally forming a giant, orderly polyhedron.
“Boom!”
Cassius’s attack struck it directly, unable to break through.
The scorching pillar of fire hit the smooth surface and was directly reflected, causing a new magma pit to appear on the unfortunate ground below.
This indestructible protective magic absorbed and reflected all surrounding energy, shielding the Ancient Silver Dragon within.
Seeing Cassius repeatedly fail, Osedro looked smug.
“Red Dragon, your attacks are weak and powerless!”
But Osedro had forgotten one thing—he hadn’t sealed the space.
With the inertia of thousands of years, Silver Dragons tended to lean more towards energy output-type spells of the transmutation school. Very few Magicians understood the mysteries of space.
Moreover, Magicians couldn’t decide their spell tables, which is why they were scornfully called “the Barbarians among spellcasters.” But he didn’t know that Cassius was no ordinary Magician.
“Swish—”
But Cassius only gave a grim smile and directly tore the space with his claw, creating a portal with flaming edges that led straight inside the protective magic.
“Not good!”
Osedro’s expression changed dramatically. He hurried to perform a spell counter, but the Red Dragon’s speed was too fast.
A fierce fluctuation in space followed by a fleeting shadow, even difficult for the Silver Dragon’s True Knowledge-enhanced eyes to perceive. The Red Dragon had already leaped onto his back, gripping his wings tightly with strong forepaws.
“Got you, you annoying old geezer!”
Cassius shouted fiercely, using all his strength to lock the Silver Dragon tightly. His massive, fiery jaws bit down on Osedro’s neck.
But being a Law-Addicted Dragon, in the extreme danger, Osedro’s chain trigger magic activated automatically. Layers of light membranes appeared on his body, resisting the sharp teeth of the Red Dragon.
However, how could ordinary spells withstand the strength of a Red Dragon?
The layers of light membranes only held out for a few seconds before the sharp teeth pierced them like thin paper, directly biting into the scales.
Silver scales shattered and scattered in the air, shining brilliantly under the sunlight.
Red dragon blood sprayed out as well.
“Aow—”
The high-pitched roar of the Silver Dragon drew the attention of all beings on the battlefield. Whether human, Tiefling, or those giant dragons, they looked up incredulously at the sky, watching the two colossal beings wrestling with each other, filled with tremendous unease at this ancient-seeming battle—now clearly dominated by the Red Dragon.
But the strength of an Ancient Silver Dragon was not to be underestimated; his combat experience was far richer than Cassius’s.
Osedro struggled wildly in the air, constantly twisting and turning. Several transformation and protective spells reinforced his massive silver dragon body. Ice cones, force fields, hurricanes, and other bizarre counterattacks fired from his body, finally flinging Cassius off his back, freeing the Silver Dragon from the muscular arms.
But the Silver Dragon had no time to breathe. He had just broken free and hadn’t yet cast a spell when the Red Dragon attacked with an unimaginable speed.
The two giant dragons wrestled and fell, crashing into and shattering the ice mountains below with a thunderous sound.
In close quarters, Osedro seemed to sense something amiss.
A scent.
This Red Dragon’s body carried the scent of rainwater.
He knew it all too well; it was a scent exclusive to Silver Dragons, like the freshness after a rainstorm.
And before he and his clan arrived, there was only one Silver Dragon in the Anzeta Great Wilderness—his particularly cherished granddaughter, “Silver Star” Olivia.
Osedro’s expression changed dramatically. He abandoned all mage decorum and lunged at the Red Dragon, shouting loudly:
“Red Dragon! You carry the scent of a Silver Dragon!”
“Where is Olivia?”
“What did you do to her?!”
In extreme fury, the Ancient Silver Dragon’s aura surged violently. His whole body bulged with veins, and even his strength increased beyond usual, faintly suppressing the Red Dragon.
After thousands of years, upon entering the Ancient Dragon Stage, Osedro’s emotions had grown increasingly indifferent. He no longer roved about upholding justice as in his youth; he was even somewhat indifferent to the life and death of mortals.
But his family was his last treasure and a responsibility he had to bear as an Elder.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
“Old geezer, don’t you know? Your precious granddaughter is now a proud citizen of the kingdom!”
Cassius laughed wildly, mercilessly using his immense strength to slap the Silver Dragon’s enraged face to the side again and then slashed deep gashes into the Silver Dragon’s body with his claws.
Osedro ignored the wounds on his face. He spread his broad, silver wings wide like flashing boards, and charged at the Red Dragon, enraged.
“You’re lying!”
“I taught Olivia myself. She is kind by nature, with a heart of justice. How could she succumb to an evil dragon drenched in blood like you?!”
Cassius crashed head-on into him, forcibly resisting the massive body of the Silver Dragon, clawing and tearing at the silver scales.
“Old geezer, this just proves your ways are outdated! They don’t make sense anymore!”
“Even your own granddaughter doesn’t believe in your so-called ‘order,’ and you expect this to balance the world?!”
“What a joke!”
