Chapter 449 A True Red Dragon Appears!
Chapter 449 A True Red Dragon Appears!
-----
"A True Red Dragon…" My mother said with shock.
"Eh?! True Red Dragon?!" I asked.
"It is… a powerful evolved version of a Red Dragon, they're equivalent to Tier 8 or 9 Monsters, if not stronger as they're intelligent and cunning!" Said my mother. "But how come this dragon found us so easily, and how was it capable of teleporting from the Demon Continent all the way here?!"
"B-Brother Agni…!" Ignatius suddenly feel moved as he saw his big brother appear. It seemed that he was but an infant compared to the True Dragons!
However, first of all, if this dragon was helped to come here, did the Cultists guessed that the Heroes were here?! But then was… Ignatius attack provoked by them or something he did on his own? I am confused!
But more importantly, this is bad. Really, really bad!
This guy's not like Ignatius at all, he's like… tens of times, no, a hundred times stronger than him?! This is not someone you can just behead like my father did!
"How come an Ancient Dragon such as you have come here? Are you working with Cultists?!" My mother roared, suddenly hitting the floor with her staff. A sudden aura of pure white light emerged, she not only recovered her health but also her stamina and spirit, her magic was as powerful as ever.
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, an enormous Fortress made out of Materialized Holy Light emerged, this was my mother's strongest defensive Spell [Divine Holy Fortress of Light], and it was a Tier 10 Spell!
The enormous dragon looked at us from afar while analyzing the gigantic fortress made of light. However, he seemed not afraid at all to see my mother, a former hero who had slain dragons before.
"They did not know about you, but I did. We dragons can share our presences. I knew my foolish younger brother, Ignatius, had come to challenge you. I had rushed to stop him, but when I almost reached Cloudia, I learned it was too late…. I've been growing stronger ever since that, eight years ago, and now, I've finally managed to Evolve into an Ancient True Red Dragon after slaying countless monsters' indie the Abyssal Pits." Said Agni. "You, and anybody here shall perish to my flames, as I will avenge the soul of my beloved little brother!"
"W-Wait a second Agni! You can't do that!" Ignatius suddenly panicked, as he flew away and I made him noticeable to anybody's eyes.
Agni suddenly stopped moving as he saw the small Dragon Baby Spirit in front of him.
"Huh?"
"Brother, its me! Ignatius! Can't you feel my soul?!"
"What sort of wicked trick is this, you wrenched monsters?! Do you think I am someone that can be easily laughed at? Prepare for your sure deaths!"
However, Agni didn't recognized Ignatius at all, and roared furiously, unleashing a Fire Breath against him!
"N-No… BROTHER!"
BOOOOMMMM!!!
The enormous Fire Breath resembled a gigantic blast of the most purest essence of flames impacting my mother's Fortress of Light. But the fortress did not falter even against that, the Mana of my mother encompassed it all, protecting us.
"Ahhh… B-Brother… He didn't recognized me…" Ignatius sighed. "I must really be dead for all of them… Is this because of my small soul?"
I had managed to summon Ignatius inside of my Soul Scape before he was engulfed in the deadly Fire Breath, but he seemed completely depressed now.
"It's not the right time to get depressed about this, Ignatius!" I sighed. "How the heck can we beat your brother? Does he has some weakness?"
"Eh? I-I can't… I won't let you kill him! My big brother… He raised me since I was a small pup. While my parents only greeted me when I was already an adult, my big brother… He was always there protecting me and watching over me as I explored the wilderness…" Ignatius lamented. "I… I can't…"
Ignatius was completely heartbroken and didn't seemed to be in the right of his mind.
"We can't escape, and we are trapped in the Noble District while also having to fight this thing…" My mother analyzed the situation incredibly calmly and pragmatically. The weakened state she had before was long gone, those leaves were truly miraculous.
"Could it be? Have they brought the power of the Evil God of Dungeons here? Maybe… they managed to create some sort of Pseudo Dungeon Domain? Wait, that's too insane, but what else could explain the sudden Dungeon Break portals appearing everywhere? No… if that were the case, how come they brought the dragon?" She wondered, thinking a thousand things in a second.
"Unless they had managed to channel the god's powers through his blessing and special magic items… If the Abyssal Eye is really as powerful as they make up to be, then such things are not hard to come by. I am flabbergasted that they had entrusted them all to these Cultists… Or maybe they are also working here, plotting to take us down at the same time and merely using these people?"
"Wait, what?! You're implying this is a plan to kill us?" I asked. "But how come they found us?"
"I have no idea dear." Sighed my mother. "I might be powerful, but not all-seeing. There might be something we don't know, or that god… Well, if he managed to trap you two out of the blue back then, there's no saying he has his eyes on us. Gods are capable of seeing through the world itself, this corrupt God might be trying to kill us so we get out of his plans, whatever they are. However gods cannot intervene directly themselves, as that would weaken them too much, so they influence people and do many roundabout ways-"
"ROOOAARRRR!"
CLAAASH!
An enormous dragon claws covered on blazing magma hit the fortress of light, unleashing a deadly explosion of flames everywhere.
BOOOOMMM!!!
"Come out and confront me, cowards!"
Agni seemed dead set on fighting us, while countless other monsters began to swarm us from all sides. Ninhursag had already entered the fortress after seeing the dragon emerge, so she was safe for now.
"Agni… You bastard… How does he dare not recognize me and even try to fight against us…!"
"Wait, Ignatius?!"
"Sylphy… give me tons of Mana, as many as you can!"
FLASH!
Suddenly, Ignatius flew outside the fortress, reaching his brother.
"Oi, you bastard!" He roared, as his brother suddenly noticed him again.
"You again?! Whatever you are, you're not my brother!" Agni furiously roared, suddenly opening his jaws and charging an enormous quantity of draconic firepower, his red scales as hard as metal shone bright red as his gigantic wings spread out, shining with bright orange and red color. "DIE!"
FLUOOOSH!
An enormous Fire Breath was unleashed, directly impacting Ignatius!
"IGNATIUS!!!"
BOOOOOOOMMM!!!
