A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 784: Chapter 438: Encirclement? Go Tell That to My Dual Domain and Twelve Traits (Super Long Chapter)_5

At the moment they revealed their true forms, the pupils of the Red Iron Dragon slightly contracted.

No matter how different their appearances or physiques were, they all shared certain similar traits.

Vertical pupils, dragon horns, scale armor, sharp claws... These are all typical signs of a Dragon Descendant.

However, their aura appeared very peculiar, with little of the Dragon Descendant’s scent present; those traits merely seemed like some kind of mutated decoration.

”Honorable Emperor Ignatius, we are followers of the ’Path of Scales.’

We are truly honored to finally see Your Majesty’s true form today.”

The elder leading them spoke with a kindly and polite demeanor, smiling all the while.

”Followers of the Path of Scales?”

Inwardly, Galos felt a shiver.

This organization is also known by a more popular name.

Dragon Worship Cult!

As the name implies, the Dragon Worship Cult fanatically worships the Dragon Race, viewing dragons as the most perfect lifeform.

Moreover, the Dragon Worship Cult is not limited to a single time or place, but is a massive organization spanning many worlds, with their traces already left across various continents on Bernardo Planet.

But within the memories passed down to Galos, it was explicitly stated to be wary of the Dragon Worship Cult.

The reason is simple.

While these cultists revere the Giant Dragon as the perfect lifeform, they obsessively believe that the immortal undead is the ultimate life form.

As a result, the Dragon Worship Cult often resorts to any means necessary, including but not limited to seduction, deception, and coercion, to transform Giant Dragons into Dragon Witch Demons.

And during this dangerous transformation, a considerable number of Dragon Witch Demons became puppets manipulated by the Dragon Worship Cult.

”As I established the kingdom and my fame grew, a new challenge has indeed arrived.”

The Red Iron Dragon’s mind raced, ”Such as these legendary members of the Dragon Worship Cult standing before me.”

He was well aware that beneath the seemingly amiable demeanor of the opposite party, a crisis that would not easily be resolved surely lurked.

After a brief contemplation, the Red Iron Dragon spoke, ”Ah, so it’s the core members of the Dragon Worship Cult.”

”Surely you understand that I am still far from my twilight years, and I currently have no intention of transforming into a Dragon Witch Demon.”

”Gentlemen, please return. When I’m truly nearing my twilight years, I will consider cooperating with you.”

The beautiful woman heard this and gently shook her head.

She smiled faintly and said, ”Time is long and ruthless, even the mighty Giant Dragon will one day face the end of death.”

”Since the ending is already destined, why wouldn’t Your Majesty let us offer you a new and greater path? Death is not the end, but a rebirth! O King, you will become stronger than ever, and we will gladly submit to the perfect new form you will reveal.”

Her voice carried a strange power, subtly influencing the mind of the opposite party.

On the other side, the Red Iron Dragon seemed to be affected, his gaze becoming slightly vacant.

”What you say does have some merit.”

He appeared to lower his guard and, with his wings opening, gradually moved closer while seeming thoughtful, ”Perhaps I should change my mind. Come, talk to me about this path to rebirth in detail.”

At that moment, the elder holding a staff lifted it and waved gently.

As an invisible ripple of space spread out, the distance the Red Iron Dragon had just closed was instantly rendered void, moving him back to his original place.

The distance between them remained as it was at the beginning.

This man named Malcolm was a Dimensional Mage, codenamed ”Space Weaver,” mastering the domain of [Mirror Dimension], which, as a space system, had a remarkably vast reach.

At this moment, Galos was enveloped under his domain.

Within this Mirror Dimension, Malcolm could freely create space barriers to extend or shorten actual distances at will.

Additionally, he possessed the legendary traits of [Spatial Affinity], [Dimensional Displacement], and [Magic Overlimit].

The beautiful woman, seeing this, whispered softly, her tone tinged with regret, ”Your Majesty, your will is indeed very strong, but we are not so easy to deceive either.”

Her name was Betis, a Mind Mage, codenamed ”Soul Whisperer,” mastering the domain of [Echo of Pain], capable of amplifying the physical and mental anguish of her opponent, disrupting their will, and even creating vivid illusions of pain.

Her trait was [Mental Puncture].

On the other side, the gaze of the Red Iron Dragon turned icy and indifferent.

Elder Malcolm said, ”Once you step into a new level of life, you will undoubtedly understand our deep intentions today.”

The armored strong man with dragon horns was much more straightforward.

He drew the Two-Handed Giant Sword from his back and said in a deep voice, ”Your fate is already decided! We will kill you here and then lead you to rebirth!”

”For the supreme glory of the Path of Scales! Become one of us!”

The Dimensional Mage made a final declaration, simultaneously waving the Magic Staff in his hand.

In an instant, countless chains composed of Spatial Energy emerged from thin air, weaving into a gigantic web like a living thing, binding and suppressing Galos.

Flame Domain!

The Red Iron Dragon let out a low roar.

Boosh!

In a split second, centered around his massive dragon body, a turbulent blaze surged skyward, transforming into a burning kingdom.

The space chains approaching, upon encountering the scorching flame, were incinerated and melted away.

Whoosh—!

His enormous wings suddenly flapped, turning his entire body, shrouded in the Flame Domain, into a blazing meteor, rushing towards the Dimensional Mage Malcolm with a violent charge.

”Ha ha, just as well! Let us personally experience how powerful the King of the Wilderness truly is!”
