A Dragon against the Whole World-Chapter 180 - 171: Awakening and Growth
The scorn of the Red Dragon ignited the fury of the White Dragon Trish.
"You stupid red skin with muscles filling your brain, taste the frost!"
A sixteen-meter-long ferocious beast roared, its Dragon Wings stirring up a cold wind, claws crushing the ground, as if a white frost star suddenly burst forth, charging towards the Red Dragon.
Compared to the nearly full-grown White Dragon,
the twelve-meter-tall Red Dragon Samantha appeared much smaller. Although her build was strong, not as slender as the White Dragon, she was not exaggerated to the extent of Galos, and overall still inferior.
However, the youthful Red Dragon’s pride surpassed her strength.
In her heart, she looked down upon the White Dragon, feeling the other was just a beast with a hollow appearance. Thus, she felt no fear, didn’t call out to Galos for support, but instead lowered her head, flexed her tail, flapped her wings and charged with power, rumbling towards the White Dragon.
Galos quietly watched this scene, not intervening in the fight between the large and smaller female dragons.
Under his gaze, the red and white Dragon Shadows clashed savagely.
The ground cracked, shockwaves spread out.
The white Dragon Shadow trembled violently, stopping in place, while the red Dragon Shadow was knocked away like a broken sack, rolling across the ground for hundreds of meters, plowing a long, scorched gash before coming to a stop.
Ptui!
Spitting out the dirt in her mouth.
Red Dragon Samantha staggered to her feet, baring her teeth, her face showing concentrated, tangible anger—a huge humiliation in her eyes for being knocked away in direct combat by the White Dragon she looked down upon.
Across the way,
The White Dragon Trish, who had the advantage, felt refreshed, like being doused with cold water on a hot day.
"Foolish red skin, I am the Pale Wings, already a half-step into middle age."
"You should show respect from the weak to the strong in my presence!"
The White Dragon Trish lifted her head and said.
At the same time, she wanted to continue her attack, but catching a glimpse of the silent Red Iron Dragon, she hesitated and was wary.
She sensed a similar aura from the Red Dragon and the Mixed-blood Dragon, indicating a bloodline bond between the two evil dragons, perhaps growing and surviving together after being expelled, their relationship likely amicable.
"Vile white scales! I will break your bones!"
Provoked by the White Dragon, the Red Dragon grew angrier.
The brilliantly red scales on her body began to light up one by one, and visible Alchemy Runes flickered upon them, enhancing her defenses and power. Tiny runes also lit up on her sharp claws, providing armor piercing and toughness.
She flapped her Dragon Wings, the membranes also lit with runes, boosting her entire speed as she charged once more towards the White Dragon.
Opposite, the White Dragon glanced at Galos.
Galos remained indifferent, nodding slightly to her, signaling that she needn’t mind him.
The White Dragon Trish grinned, turning to meet the Red Dragon.
The two dragons clashed again, but now not merely with brute force, each using their skills.
Ice Armor Technique!
The Ice Crystal Armor, enough to greatly weaken Galos’ Claw Strike, coated the White Dragon, and as the Red Dragon’s claws, refined and strengthened by alchemy, struck, they only caused a slight crack without shattering it, instead making her own claws feel cold and numb.
"Let me teach you what the etiquette of the Dragon Race is!"
Trish’s right claw, imbued with the chill of a millennium glacier, struck down.
Samantha barely turned her head to dodge, only to be struck by the following Dragon Tail.
Bam! The prideful Scale Armor of the Red Dragon shattered like glass, the Defense Runes one by one collapsing, Dragon Scales cracked and flying off, her body staggering back.
Pain enraged the Red Dragon further.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and she roared, leaping at the White Dragon.
However, rage did not enhance the power of Red Dragon Samantha; instead, it made her lose reason, reducing her control over the Alchemy Runes, making her weaker and full of openings.
The White Dragon Trish, capable of provoking Galos into fervor,
had far more combat experience than the Red Dragon Samantha.
As the Red Dragon raged, the White Dragon Trish instead became more at ease, not hurrying to take down the Red Dragon, but instead humiliatingly toying with her.
Galos continued to observe their battle, still taking no action to stop it.
Red Dragon Samantha, initially after being expelled, became more reserved after experiencing the dangers of the wilderness, her reason suppressing her anger. But as time passed, her arrogance gradually grew, returning to the normal Red Dragon disposition, wild and arrogant, but lacking the strength to back it up.
At this moment, the battle under Galos’s attention was controllable.
Samantha being beaten by the White Dragon, whom she looked down upon, was a good thing for her.
Galos never felt noble or proud of his own bloodline.
He always believed that the strong should not be revered for their bloodline; rather, the bloodline should be honored by the strong. Immersed in the superiority brought by the bloodline without corresponding strength would eventually harm oneself. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
A few minutes later.
The Red Dragon’s Flaming Dragon Breath was forced back by the White Dragon’s Frost Dragon Breath.
In a moment of danger, the Red Dragon dodged in haste but was still grazed by the frost breath, forming a thick frost on her body, making her sluggish.
Immediately after.
The sixteen-meter-long adult White Dragon fully unfolded its wings, the shadow completely enveloping the young Red Dragon.
With one swooping dive, White Dragon Trish pinned the dodging Red Dragon beneath her. The Red Dragon tried to struggle, but was too weak, covered in a layer of cold frost, her limbs frozen, her chest pinned under the White Dragon’s foot.
Until completely defeated.
The ice-cold Red Dragon finally came to her senses, looking sideways at Galos, hoping he would intervene, but Galos remained indifferent.
"Now, what should you call me?"
The White Dragon’s claw tip lightly scratched across Samantha’s face armor, she said.
"White Scale! Despicable—"
Before she could finish, Trish’s long tail swung around, coiling around the Red Dragon’s neck and tightening suddenly, causing her to feel suffocated and pained.
A few seconds later, the White Dragon relaxed her tail, repeating the question: "What should you call me?"
"White Scale!"
As soon as she spoke, the Red Dragon’s neck was again tightly constricted by the tail, starting to suffocate.
After ten seconds, the White Dragon again loosened her tail, and asked the violently coughing Red Dragon, "What should you call me?"
Samantha remained silent.
The White Dragon’s body weighed on her like a mountain, making it difficult for her to rise and resist. The coldness was bone-chilling, nearly freezing her blood. She had never imagined before that the White Dragon could be so powerful.
"..... White Dragon..... Miss Trish."
The Red Dragon squeezed the words through clenched teeth.
Not using honorifics was her last stubbornness.
White Dragon Trish snorted coldly, her expression relaxed, and released her suppression on the Red Dragon, saying, "Young Dragon, from now on, show some respect to me. You have no right to call me White Scale."
The Red Dragon’s chest heaved violently, her scales dimmed significantly.
The fact of being defeated by White Scale made her feel humiliated and suffocated.
At this time, Galos slowly approached, his claw tip crushing the ice crystals on the ground, making a fine cracking sound.
"Samantha."
The voice of the Red Iron Dragon was deep and steady, he said, "Defeat is nothing more than a scratch on Dragon Scale—" His tail lightly tapped the Red Dragon’s shattered scales, saying, "What’s important is whether you can temper this scar into harder Dragon Scales."
"You want to belittle Trish as White Scale, call her despicable, that’s fine, it’s not a problem."
"But you need to be stronger than her to have that right."
The facts were laid out, and Samantha listened to Galos’s words, pondering.
Although she preferred to use strength to solve problems and didn’t like to think much, the Red Dragon was actually very intelligent; no famous strong Red Dragon wasn’t both smart and ferocious.
After this lesson, Samantha roughly understood what Galos meant.
"Dear brother, I understand."
After speaking, she looked at the White Dragon Trish again, and straightforwardly said, "Trish, I will now respect you and call you White Dragon, and not insult you, but this is based on the fact that you are stronger than me."
"But your only advantage is age."
"And as time passes, I will surpass you, leaving you far behind."
The White Dragon bared her teeth, unwilling to show weakness, taunting, "Poor little Dragon, even so, it doesn’t change the fact that you were once under my feet."
Unexpectedly, the Red Dragon Samantha didn’t get angry.
"You’re right, I will remember that."
