A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 644: Chapter 400: I, Galos, Am the Chosen One; Danger Approaches

A few days later.

The wide dragon wings with red patterns slowly unfolded, revealing beneath them two entangled bodies of giant dragons.

Their dragon tails were tightly intertwined like intertwining snakes. Bodies covered in scales of different colors and textures pressed closely together, their scale armor rubbing against one another with slight movements, creating a rustling, metallic sound.

”Huff... Huff...”

Red Silver Dragon Deborah’s chest heaved violently, her breathing heavy and rapid.

Due to the prior intense battle, the beautifully arranged silver and honey-colored scales on her body now bore many fine cracks, with some areas even seeping blood slightly. In contrast, the Red Iron Dragon Galos’s thick black and red scale armor showed only a few faint scratches and a tiny amount of melting frost-formed ice.

The Red Silver Dragon was utterly exhausted.

However, Galos remained composed and at ease.

After only a brief rest, the strong muscles of the Red Iron Dragon swelled once more.

He lowered his head, gently biting the slender and graceful nape of the Red Silver Dragon with his sharp teeth.

”Wait... wait, Galos.”

”I... I really can’t anymore.”

The Red Silver Dragon’s voice was hoarse and weary, pleading for mercy.

Galos was just too strong, and she felt like her bones were about to fall apart.

Whether in his powerful dragon form, his human form brimming with power, or any other possible shape, she was no match for him. His body, honed through countless trials, was as hard as forged steel.

The Red Iron Dragon did not press further and released his bite.

After taking a few more breaths, slightly calming her still racing heartbeat,

the Red Silver Dragon gently leaned her head against the firm neck of the Red Iron Dragon, softly saying, ”Galos, I know that with your excellence and strength, in the future, there will surely be more than just me by your side.”

After a brief pause, she continued, ”I won’t restrain you with the ideals of the Metal Dragon, but you must promise me.”

”—No matter what the future holds, I must always hold the most important place in your heart.”

”That is my only request, or rather, hope.”

Her voice was soft, yet earnest.

In Dragon Race society, strength has always been the blatantly revered attribute.

Unless two dragons are equally strong, the stronger one will inevitably attract many desiring to depend on or be drawn to them.

This is not just common among the Five-Colored Evil Dragons.

Even in the Metal Dragon Race, similar situations are not uncommon.

Red Silver Dragon Deborah sees this very clearly.

She knows well that Galos, like the most brilliant torch in the darkness, would draw countless eyes of admiration or love wherever he went.

Rather than attempting to set constraints that might eventually create distance between them,

it’s better to give him the freedom to choose from the outset.

At the same time, under this fixed premise, she wants to ensure that the mark she leaves on his heart is the deepest and her place unshakable.

This is also why she decided not to wait another two years.

She doesn’t want any unexpected events to give certain ”seductive dragons,” as she sees them, like that Blue Dragon Zoraya with alluring dragon horns and eyes that always seem to beckon, the chance to get ahead.

That would leave her filled with regret.

Beside her, the Red Iron Dragon remained silent for a few seconds, his Dragon Eyes reflecting the slightly anxious expression of the Red Silver Dragon.

He did not immediately give those easy and syrupy promises but instead slowly began to speak, using a deep and resonant voice, sharing a riddle the Red Silver Dragon loved most.

”In this vast and boundless world, there exists a unique being.”

”It was born in the howling, icy lands yet burns hotter than lava.”

”It once opposed me in battle, saw me as an enemy, yet ultimately chose to follow closely in the shadow of my wings.”

”It has witnessed my rise from insignificance and is destined to accompany me until the world’s end; it has admired the wild dance of snow with me in the sky, and also helped lay the first cornerstone of the Burning Steel Castle.”

”Tell me, Deborah, what is it?”

The answer was already evident.

Red Silver Dragon Deborah was first slightly stunned, then a radiant smile blossomed on her beautiful dragon face, dissipating her previous apprehension and unease instantly.

Her sleek Dragon Tail flicked, entwining once again around the Red Iron Dragon’s robust body.

Time passed by neither fast nor slow.

Soon, a few more days later.

The Red Iron Dragon stepped out from deep within the fortress for the first time, standing on a high platform, taking a deep breath of the cold outside air, feeling his lungs expand while stretching his muscles and wing limbs.

Having the prolonged repression fully released and satisfied, he felt the flow of Dragon Qi within him seemed smoother than ever, and even his thoughts became clear and sharp.

The whole dragon was in a state of calm and refreshed mindset.

As for the Red Silver Dragon, she had fallen into a deep slumber, not yet awakened.

Their physical disparity was indeed too great, and for Deborah, this period was as exhausting as an intense and prolonged battle. Once it was all over, she was almost immediately engulfed by fatigue, sinking into deep rest to recover from the immense physical and mental depletion.
