A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 543: Chapter 368: Nine Dragon Potion

The Red Iron Dragon’s wings gently flapped in the air, creating waves of descending currents. He controlled his speed like a heavy dark red cloud, gradually descending from the scarred sky to the bottom of Dragon Valley.

He took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.

With this cycle of breathing, as time passed, the blazing patterns on his body, like blooming scarlet lotuses, gradually faded and lightened. The heart-palpitating heat and aura of destruction also withdrew, slowly retreating from the massive consumption of his scarlet lotus state.

As long as he wasn’t in the midst of fierce battle.

Galos was becoming more proficient in controlling the scarlet lotus state.

On the other side, Silver Dragon Adri also folded his wings, descending from mid-air to land not far opposite the Red Iron Dragon.

At this moment, both Giant Dragons bore quite significant injuries.

Due to the fierce battle earlier, their breaths fluctuated like the tides.

However, comparatively speaking, Silver Dragon Adri, although trying his best to hold his long neck upright to maintain the composure and poise of a Metal Dragon, appeared more disheveled in actual condition.

After all, he had just been slammed hard into the mountain’s interior. Besides being covered with crisscrossing claw marks, ice shards, and charred marks, the silver scales were also stained with dirt and debris, far from his usual immaculate image.

Whoosh—!

He was somewhat unable to tolerate the grime on his body, softly chanting a brief incantation, summoning a fresh and gentle magic wind to swirl around himself.

Cleaning Technique!

The invisible magic wind swept across like a servant, softly stripping away and dispersing the cracked edges of silver scales, coagulated dark red blood stains, dusty grime, and jagged debris into the air.

In the blink of an eye, although still scarred and sluggish, he had at least restored his former elegant and noble appearance, with traces of battle-worn taste.

”Magic indeed provides much convenience at times,”

Galos noticed this scene, a glint of contemplation in his eyes.

The abilities akin to Magic-like Skill, which the Dragon Race naturally awakens with growth, ultimately remain limited. To master a greater variety and more powerful Magic, one still needs to study and delve systematically like other intelligent creatures.

In the past, Galos never seriously considered venturing into any magical path.

Because the study and mastery of Magic require enormous effort and lengthy time investment, their results are not as direct and immediate as honing the body and improving martial levels.

To Galos, who was eager to gain power and self-protection in the shortest time, Magic was not a priority choice.

But now, his thinking has loosened a bit.

Before reaching a certain qualitative change point, the Magic level might have limited enhancement on direct combat power, but in other aspects, such as long-distance targeting and tracking, efficient hiding, large-scale surveillance, or even convenient small spells like the Cleaning Technique for daily life, they all can provide assistance to compensate for the shortcomings of a pure physical route.

Moreover, from the general growth pattern of the Dragon Race, most Giant Dragons start formally contacting and systematically learning magical knowledge in their youth. Starting now seems quite timely.

”Pity...” Galos lightly sighed inwardly.

”The influence of Mad Fire clings like a shadow, continually eroding my rationality, making it difficult to maintain lasting calmness and focus.”

”Without calm and focused thoughts, trying to learn and master those intricate magical knowledge would be counterproductive, possibly leading to mistakes due to impatience and backlash.”

He analyzed his condition, thinking, ”It seems, learning Magic still has to wait until I fully adapt and control the Mad Fire within me, then put it on the agenda.”

On the other side.

Seeing the dust settle between the Red Iron Dragon and Silver Dragon, the atmosphere eased.

Selena and Deborah, who had been watching from afar, also stood up.

The Red Copper Dragon gracefully packed up the soft cushions laid on the ground, while Deborah, eager, flapped her wings, approaching the two main characters with her mother.

”Is it over already? I didn’t even... I couldn’t clearly see the final outcome yet,”

Deborah almost blurted out the truth about not having watched to her heart’s content, fortunately changing her words in time. However, the excitement and lingering interest flashing in her bright dragon eyes exposed her true thoughts.

Red Copper Dragon Selena also wore a gentle and playful smile, her gaze drifting between the two battered Giant Dragons, eventually landing on her partner.

She softly asked, ”Indeed, dear, and Galos,”

”In this splendid spar, who exactly has the upper hand?”

Hearing this soul-piercing question from his wife and daughter, Silver Dragon Adri’s slender tail unconsciously swayed a few times, his face showing a rare expression.

It was an expression of opening his mouth, intending to speak, but then hesitating, finally turning into a slightly embarrassed stammer.

Claiming victory directly?

Saying so might be too shameless.

Frankly admitting a slight defeat?

Adri felt somewhat unable to maintain his face.

As a dignified, experienced adult Silver Dragon, being defeated by a young dragon, and it was the second defeat after the one many years ago... If word got out, it might become a topic of tea-time chatter in Raging Waves Dragon Domain for hundreds of years.
