Beneath the Red Dragon

With the sacrifice of the Fire of Life, the scarlet blood flame whooshed and soared, as an image was born from the dancing flames.

Through the high hills in the forest, there were groups of warriors, strong, perfect, and resolute, even though their bodies were all shrouded under peculiar armor.

There was a dragon that looked petite compared to the Demon Dragon, but its black scale armor was more transparent than a whole block of obsidian, unlike the dragons of Valerian whose scales always had various colors, yet on closer inspection, were still coarse.

This dragon appeared so perfect that compared to the Valerian Demon Dragons, it seemed more like the Dragon God incarnate mentioned by the Dragon Kings of Valerian.

The Valerian Demon Dragons, although intelligent, actually lacked sufficient wisdom, but in the slit-pupils of this black Giant Dragon’s eyes, even if just an illusion in the flames, the Dragon Kings of Valerian could see that those pupils were filled with the pride and unique spiritual light of the wise seeds.

Most importantly, that black dragon, with its four limbs and two wings, akin to having six limbs, compared to this Black Dragon, although the bodies of the Valerian dragons were larger, the figure once considered perfect by the Dragon Kings now seemed crippled.

The Red-robed Witch Nalia looked at the many Dragon Kings, pointing at the illusion in the flames she said, ”This is the enemy we are about to face, an Evil Dragon with powerful magic, but he is far from the ultimate enemy,”

”He is also just a minion of the enemy, the enemy’s vanguard, but even so, this black Evil Dragon, its power is also unmatched by us.”

But the words of the Red-robed Witch did not achieve the effect she desired, she heard the discussions among the Dragon Kings, and on their faces were not expressions of fear, nor vigilance, nor worry.

The expressions on the Dragon Kings’ faces were curiosity, excitement, and longing.

The Red-robed Witch Nalia heard the discussions of the Dragon Kings, these Dragon Kings wanted to send out Demon Dragon Knights, to capture this black dragon, tame it, and then pen it as a breeding dragon.

So the Red-robed Priestess Nalia nodded, strolling around the massive torch, while the other Red-robed Monks pushed another slave, throwing them into the torch.

The Red-robed Witch Nalia sprinkled potions and powders from her wide sleeves, reigniting the scarlet blood flames, as the scarlet blood flames rose, and the screams of the slaves in the fire rang out.

This gorgeous Priestess, her red robe unfastened between her fair fingers, then fell from top to bottom, revealing a body as fair as a lamb.

At this moment, the eyes of the naked witch also blazed like faint red burning candles, at this moment, the witch’s aura became soul-stealing like a black Angel, extreme beauty and extreme danger blended into one, complex and incongruous.

”Shadow is the servant of light, descendant of the blaze...”

The Priestess, radiating brilliant white light, sang ancient languages without caring about her exposed body, stepping gracefully before the torch.

”The one who fiercely burns with flames...”

”With your Fire of Life, create...”

The voice of the beautiful witch at this last moment reached its peak, like the pleasure between a man and a woman reaching the most delightful point.

The Dragon Kings held their breath, for at this moment they saw a shadow, a shadow both vague and clear, struggling, silently screaming, squeezing out from the mesmerizing body of the witch.

The Dragon Kings recognized this shadow, recognized the person casting the shadow, that was the slave who was just burned in the flames, becoming the sacrifice of Red God R’hllor.

The Dragon Kings knew this Priestess who worshipped the Red God, she claimed to come from the mysterious land of Yaxia, a city to the East of the Essos Continent, gathering various people who used magic.

The Dragon Kings also knew that in Yaxia, there was a renowned magical profession—Shadow Binder, but how could the witch before them possess magic close to that of the legendary Shadow Binder.

”Could it be, that this witch before us, calling the Red God ’King of Light, Heart of Holy Flame, the god of shadow and flame’ with the Red-robed Monks, represents the duality of this Divine Spirit, and those who truly understand the duality of King of Light R’hllor, can possess a unique power.”

An Attendant Manager stood before the Dragon Kings, thinking silently.

But that shadow that squeezed out of the witch’s body finally completely detached from the witch, forming into a dissipating shadow, with an eerie shriek reappearing before the Attendant Manager who was frowning in thought.

Then the dissolving shadow reformed in shape, and a blade emerging from the shadow was about to pierce through the Attendant Manager’s body.

The Dragon Kings were startled by the shadow’s action, but in the next instant, a transparent flowing Shield appeared on the Attendant Manager’s body, fending off the shadow’s stab.

Before the Dragon Kings could react, the shadow born from the witch Nalia suddenly expanded rapidly and then exploded, emitting a violent explosive sound.

Boom,

Although it still couldn’t break the transparent flowing Shield on the Attendant Manager, it shook the Shield, causing it to sway unceasingly, while several warriors around the Attendant Manager and on the Attendant Manager’s body rose up in transparent Shields, already revealing their true appearances.
