Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 243 - 243 242 Tearing

Chapter 243: Chapter 242 Tearing Chapter 243: Chapter 242 Tearing No one could describe what sort of battle ensued within that dense fog, between the Snow Giant Da and the Shadowflame Dragon.

The earth trembled and the ice cracked.

The Knight Regiment, enduring the earthquake-like tremors, charged across the snowfield, severing and slaughtering the Snow Demons attempting to rush the Shadowflame Dragon one by one.

The human knights, unable to partake in the ultimate battle, did the only thing they could: prevent the Snow Demons from disturbing the Shadowflame Dragon.

Of course.

The Flying Dragon Knights, mounted atop bipedal flying dragons, had a slight qualification to join the fight; they darted through the clouds and mist, swooping down toward the Snow Giant Da, unleashing their dragon breath with all their might.

One breath of dragon might be weak, but continuous breaths, even the Snow Giant could not ignore these attacks.

“Da!”

Another thunderous roar echoed.

More Snow Demons, upon hearing the roar, began to frenzy, launching suicidal countercharges in an attempt to disrupt the Knight Regiment’s blockade and advance toward the battlefield where the giant and dragon were clashing.

“Charge, we must not let the Snow Demons cross the line by even half a step!” A slightly softer cry rang out from the Dragon Blood Knights.

It was Grand Duke Kunstan.

He had finally joined forces with the Dragon Blood Knights, participating personally in this epic battle, whether to gain the approval of the Shadowflame Dragon or to establish his own credibility of standing with the knights. At least at this moment, his cries invigorated the knights.

“Duke Kunstan stands with us!”

“Duke Kunstan stands with us!”

“Long live Grand Duke Kunstan!”

“Long live Grand Duke Kunstan!”

“The Shadowflame Grand Duchy will prevail!”

“The Shadowflame Grand Duchy will prevail!”

The knights’ chants spread from the Dragon Blood Knights outwards, and gradually, all twenty knight regiments were fervently cheering Grand Duke Kunstan’s name.

This made the young Grand Duke Kunstan’s face flush with excitement, beside himself with emotion.

Fighting even more fiercely, he sought to dedicate all his strength to the hunting of Snow Ghosts. Let the world see that he was not merely a ruler by spreading rumors and fluke, but in every aspect, he was fit for the position of duke.

“I am Kunstan Yingyan, the hope of the Flamecrest Dragonblood Family!” Holding aloft his ornate gem-encrusted sword, Grand Duke Kunstan struck fiercely.

A peerless sword light directly split a passing Snow Ghost from head to groin.

In the sky.

Count Merlin, upon Manganese Steel Dragon Mercedes, commanding the twenty knight regiments on the battlefield, heard the knights’ resounding slogans and witnessed the forceful strike delivered by Grand Duke Kunstan.

At that moment, his eyes grew watery.

Perhaps it was the snowstorm that blurred his vision, or perhaps it was a trace of satisfaction deep in his heart.

Everyone knew that he was forced to relinquish the position by Grand Duke Kunstan through slander and rumors, entrusting the power of the Grand Duchy back to Kunstan. But few cared that in reality, his initial role was that of Grand Duke Kunstan’s mentor.

The young ruler’s naïve tactics all stemmed from what he had learned from him.

Hand-to-hand teaching.

Count Merlin had never offered such meticulous guidance even to his own son or grandson.

“I thought you were of little use… but perhaps my concern has clouded my judgment,” murmured Count Merlin softly. “Regardless, you are the sole heir of the former duke, the new king of the Shadowflame Family!”

Manganese Steel Dragon Mercedes turned its head, looking back at Count Merlin, its concern evident without words.

“I am fine,” said Count Merlin, setting aside his emotions, “Let’s head to the Golden Prairie Knights’ Legion, their charge is a bit disorganized; it needs to be rectified.”

Whoosh!

The Manganese Steel Dragon spun around in the air, tracing an arc as it dove towards the Golden Prairie Knights’ Legion, which was somewhat scattered by the assault of the Snow Demons.

From the central position, he orchestrated the battle under the tent.

Count Merlin tirelessly moved from one corner of the battlefield to another. Not wanting to face the same grim outcome as twenty-one years ago, he could only burn his own vital energy, covering every inch of the battlefield, preparing for all possible crises.

Flying Dragon Knights shuttled back and forth, carrying the orders of Count Merlin to the twenty knights’ legions.

Nightfall approached.

Suddenly, a group of Flying Beasts flew overhead, scattering a multitude of powders that emitted bright light. Whipped by the wind and snow, the powder lit up the entire battlefield—this was the long-lasting, glowing erbiumpowder produced by the Fluorescent Dragon.

The battle had raged from morning until night.

But it could not yet end; the knights had to hold on because the fight between the Shadowflame Dragon and the Snow Giant Da was far from over.

“The Torrent Province Knights’ Legion shall rest in place, while the Mountainous Province Knights’ Legion and the Black Court Mountain Knights’ Legion shall flank on both sides for protection!” guided by the light of the erbiumpowder, Count Merlin continued to fly above, commanding with a clear vision.

“Yes, Sir!” Two Flying Dragon Knights quickly departed.

With Count Merlin aboard, the Manganese Steel Dragon soared into the distance, flying directly over the Glowing Valley Knights’ Legion below.

Count Merlin saw Russell at the rear of the knights’ legion, riding a snow-white unicorn. Within the dark mass of knights, he was very conspicuous.

At the same time, Russell also noticed the Manganese Steel Dragon above him. He looked up at the sky and met Count Merlin’s gaze.

Grandfather and grandson exchanged a glance and then quickly parted ways.

Count Merlin continued to command the whole knights’ army, while Russell continued to blend in at the rear of the legion, hunting Snow Ghosts.

The Manganese Steel Dragon flew onward, quickly entering the fog-enshrouded center of the battlefield.

Through the dense fog, the vague figure of Snow Giant Da could be seen, stepping on clouds, wrapped in snow, his whole body illuminated with blue-green light as he grappled with a large, crimson figure. There were no fancy moves, only primal close combat.

The two hundred meters wingspan and one hundred and twenty meters length of the Shadowflame Dragon seemed somewhat delicate compared to the Snow Giant Da.

The Snow Giant’s height was at least two hundred and fifty meters.

The fight was relentless; the giant creatures, both dragon and giant, to humanity, continued to spray blood and flesh outwards, which upon hitting the ground, was quickly absorbed by the earth.

Meanwhile, power surged from the ice cap into the body of the Snow Giant Da, and like a volcanic eruption, the earth also incessantly supplied power to the Shadowflame Dragon. As depletion and replenishment occurred simultaneously, it was not only a brawl between giant and dragon but also a contest between the power of the Snow Demon and the power of the earth.

Several Bipedal Flying Dragons occasionally flew into the battlefield, spewing Dragon Breath at the eyes or joints of Snow Giant Da.

Suddenly,

as a Bipedal Flying Dragon attempted a sneak attack beneath the armpit of Snow Giant Da, it was caught off guard by a massive, blue-green glowing, fierce fist that slammed into the Flying Dragon, knocking it a thousand meters away.

It crashed heavily onto the snowfield.

The Bipedal Flying Dragon lay on the ground, emitting a piercing howl, unable to fly for quite some time.

Count Merlin blinked.

He then saw the Shadowflame Dragon seize the opportunity, opening its huge maw to bite into Snow Giant Da’s neck, unleashing a scorching Dragonflame that rapidly melted the Snow Giant’s neck into lava-like molten liquid.

The clouds and mist were swept away by the heated air currents, clearly revealing the half-melted neck of the Snow Giant Da.

But the Snow Giant Da was fearless, wrapping his hands around the neck of the Shadowflame Dragon with brute force, he tore the dragon’s mouth off.

Then, with a fierce throw forward, he slammed the Shadowflame Dragon onto the ground, causing the whole earth to thunder and shake.

Without waiting for the Shadowflame Dragon to rise, the massive body of Snow Giant Da squatted down, straddling the dragon.

A giant hand latched onto one of the Shadowflame Dragon’s wings and ripped it forcefully.

Schlick!

“Roar!” The Shadowflame Dragon let out a desperate roar, its wing brutally torn, leaving a large tear with broken bones, hanging by only a flap of skin.
