Chapter 316: Chapter 277: Contrast, the Evil Dragon’s Entrapment Operation (3)

The knocks from reality are still too few.

Of course, the attitude and promises that Alberto demonstrated were undoubtedly more beneficial than detrimental for Galos.

This Golden Dragon is indeed extreme, arrogant, and has an unpredictable, paranoid disposition... However, it’s also undeniable that Alberto, having embarked on the path of the Holy Dragon, places extraordinary importance on the vows he made.

Moreover,

He clearly developed a unique trust and sense of recognition towards the Red Iron Dragon, who could "acknowledge" his set of principles.

Having such a powerful ally, who values promises and may erupt with extraordinary combat power at crucial moments due to shared ideals, could potentially yield unexpected, excellent results at pivotal times in the destined turbulent Sel Wilderness in the future.

Subsequently, the two dragons exchanged and confirmed ways to make emergency contact over long distances.

Then, as the Dragon Group departed, the gates of the second layer of Burning Steel Castle slowly closed.

On the high cliffs of Dragon Valley, the night wind howled by, carrying the wilderness’s breath.

"I’m about to set off."

Alberto gazed towards the south: "Heading to Sel Wilderness! There, I’ll lay the foundation and build my own inviolable ’Golden Order.’"

Just as the Golden Dragon flapped its wings, ready to soar and embark on the unknown journey.

Beside him, the Red Iron Dragon, as if suddenly remembering something important, suddenly called out to him: "Alberto, wait!"

The Golden Dragon slightly paused in mid-air, folding the wings it was about to flap, and turned around in confusion, looking at Galos.

"What?"

Galos met Alberto’s inquisitive gaze and calmly made his request: "Before we part, could you let me personally experience the power of your ’Supreme Slash’?"

He deliberately emphasized: "Please, don’t hold back."

The Holy Dragon’s Supreme Slash is far more powerful than an ordinary Paladin. When Alberto used the Supreme Slash, Galos sensed a hint of danger, so he restrained it with the Dragon Qi Arm, preventing the Supreme Slash from hitting him.

But now, he wants to try the Supreme Slash’s effect on himself again.

The Golden Dragon licked the as-yet-unhealed wound under his jaw, a complex look flashing in his eyes — confusion at Galos’s strange request, and also a trace of excitement at the prospect of a legitimate counter-attack.

He heavily nodded his huge head: "A strange request, but, no problem! I promise you! I will go all out as you wish!"

In that previous frustrating battle surrounded by several Evil Dragons, he was indeed seriously injured.

The vast majority was caused by the Red Iron Dragon in front of him! Although powerful divine arts like "Holy Healing Technique" and "Twist Injury" were timely healing him, he still bore plenty of scattered fragments and stripping scars of Dragon Scale, looking rather embarrassed.

Now to have such a fair and open opportunity to "strike back."

Even if it’s just a symbolic strike, how could he refuse?

"Then... ready!"

Alberto let out a deep dragon roar.

Buzz—an odd hum of energy sounded.

Chains of Oath of Conquest runes, shimmering with holy golden light and made of pure energy, emerged and rose on the Golden Dragon’s right forearm, rapidly intertwining and converging.

In an instant.

A massive battle halberd, condensed from substantialized Holy Oath Energy, suddenly appeared in his Dragon Claw, firmly gripped!

The next moment.

"Supreme! Slash!"

Accompanied by Alberto’s roar full of power and sanctity, the battle halberd lit up with dazzling bright light, drawing a searing and brilliant arc in the air, slashing towards the Red Iron Dragon.

And the Red Iron Dragon did not dodge or evade, raising its chest where the Cold Burst Scale had not yet recovered.

Clang—tear!

The battle halberd, after severe hindrance, tore through Dragon Scale, leaving a huge but not deep mark on the Red Iron Dragon’s body, with residual shining light wrapping around the surface.

At this, the Red Iron Dragon just shook its body.

"Hmm." Galos’s voice was calm and unruffled, even with a touch of ease. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Nothing special."

He said.

"I wasn’t wrong! Those who can recognize my ideals are by no means truly evil beings."

Upon seeing this scene, Alberto was initially astonished, then the trust in his eyes grew much stronger.

The Supreme Slash, reinforced by the Oath of Conquest, will impose a radiance punishment from the holy origin, several times the physical damage, on creatures borne with the Evil Faction—the kind of burning pain reaching deep into one’s soul and bones that could make even the fiercest demons wail.

However, observing Galos’s reaction at this moment.

—his body merely quivered, without even a furrowed brow, and his tone remained so calm as if he’d only been bitten by a mosquito.

This can only indicate that the holy radiance damage against evil had little to no effect on him!

The Supreme Slash doesn’t deceive a dragon.

This means the Red Iron Dragon is not a creature of the Evil Faction.
