Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 453 - 453 452 Meteor Shower

Chapter 453: Chapter 452 Meteor Shower Chapter 453: Chapter 452 Meteor Shower “You’ve already become a Third-layer high Phantom Beast Knight?” Mel asked in surprise in his independent little castle.

“Yes,” Russell replied indifferently, “It wasn’t very difficult.”

“Not difficult?” Mel exclaimed, “I and Mora have not yet achieved perfect synchrony of spirit!”

Mora was his Contracted Phantom Beast-Iron Feathered Grey Crane.

After saying that, Mel again sighed admiringly, “No wonder everyone thinks that if the Shadowflame Dragon were to choose a Knight, you would definitely be the first choice… Now with the Frost Giants and Snow Giants closing in from all sides, maybe the Dragon will choose you as its Knight one day.”

“That’s unlikely,” Russell shook his head.

Through his face-to-face interactions with the Shadowflame Dragon, he could feel that the Dragon would rather sacrifice itself and leave behind a volcanic remnant than choose him as its Knight.

The pride of the Dragon was evident.

Fortunately, Russell didn’t have such a strong desire for the Dragon, as he already had a Dreamscape Dragon of his own.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore, cheers, cousin.”

“Cheers.”

The two brothers chatted casually.

Mostly, Mel was pouring out his heart, sometimes dreaming about his future strategies as Grand Duke and sometimes about how wonderful it would be to marry Annie Helichrysum.

Meanwhile, Unicorn Polly, who was strolling on the lawn of the small castle, suddenly said in Russell’s mind, “Russell, come out and see, there’s such a beautiful meteor shower streaking across the sky.”

Russell’s eyebrows rose, and he rushed out of the dining room like lightning to the outside of the castle.

In the western dark sky, the meteor shower hadn’t completely ended, and occasionally one or two stray meteors would break through the darkness and shine bright, falling toward the unknown land.

“These…” Russell opened his mouth, “couldn’t all be Frost Giants coming through the portal from another world, could they?”

Polly replied, “I don’t know.”

“Well, it can’t be, it can’t be,” Russell shook his head vigorously.

Then he comforted himself, “A meteor shower is a natural phenomenon; it should have nothing to do with Frost Giants. Don’t scare yourself… The battle between the Dragons and Snow Demons has been going on for over five thousand years; it can’t be that a world-ending disaster would occur just as I arrived.”

At that moment, Mel also came out, “Russell, what happened? Why the rush outside?”

“Just a meteor shower.”

“A meteor shower, huh? That’s quite rare.”

“Cousin, have you seen one before?”

“Hmm, let me think.” Mel pondered for a moment, spread his hands, and said, “I think I saw a meteor shower when I was a kid, but it’s been so long I can’t remember which year it was.”

Mel’s vague memory undoubtedly comforted Russell.

The meteor shower was indeed just a natural occurrence, not a symbol of a world-ending disaster.

But even though he was reassured, Russell was no longer in the mood to drink, so he simply stood in the corridor of the small castle, looking up at the starry sky.

Even without the familiar Milky Way from his old home on Earth.

The stars of Dragon Sleep Continent were still sparkling, and the many twinkling stars could form countless constellations if connected. Unfortunately, the people here always focused on the Snowfield below and seldom looked up at the sky; no one arranged the stars into constellations.

“Do you like watching the stars?” Mel asked.

“Don’t you want to know what’s beyond the clouds, cousin?” Russell asked.

“What’s beyond the clouds?” Mel shook his head, “Mora’s flying height is limited, and you Flying Dragon Knights can fly very high. You must have seen what’s beyond the clouds, right?”

“No,” Russell shook his head, “Although Bipedal Flying Dragons can fly high, they can’t break through the atmosphere. The higher the altitude, the thinner the magic power; unable to draw magic power for lift, Bipedal Flying Dragons cannot ascend any further.”

With a chuckle, Mel teased, “Yes, if Bipedal Flying Dragons or Dragons could fly endlessly into the high sky, someone would have surely plucked the stars down by now… So, what do you think the stars are made of?”

“Rocks or gas,” said Russell.

“Hmm?”

“Just like the Dragon Sleep Continent beneath our feet,” Russell said. “Have you ever thought that the Dragon Sleep Continent we live on might be one of the stars in the sky?”

“How is that possible!” Mel laughed heartily.

He didn’t believe that they were living on a star.

Russell didn’t explain further; in fact, it was impossible for the Dragon Sleep Continent to be one of the stars. The twinkling stars in the sky are all fixed stars, apart from a few planets that might exist in this star system, no other planets can be seen with the naked eye.

He looked up, scanning the busy heavens above.

He wondered whether the world of the Frost Giants was among these myriad stars, or perhaps it was just another planet orbiting around the sun.

…

The injuries of the Torrential Flood Dragon were not serious.

Unlike the Shadowflame Dragon that had once fought to the death with Snow Giant Da, when faced with the attacks of the Snow Giants and Frost Giants, the Torrential Flood Dragon’s first reaction was not to fight but to flee.

So, although it seemed to be covered in wounds, its essence had not been damaged.

Unlike the Shadowflame Dragon, which had fought Snow Giant Da twice, becoming so spent that it couldn’t be any weaker.

Therefore, after soaking in Swan Lake for two days, the Torrential Flood Dragon had recovered its former vigor.

“Oong!”

With a dragon cry, the Torrential Flood Dragon splashed a large spray of water and flew into the sky. It didn’t fly away from the Fire Ant Swamp, but hovered quietly above it.

Who knows how much time had passed.

“Roar!”

A new dragon cry came from the northwest sky.

Following it, a figure enveloped in billowing smoke came streaking across the horizon. Its stature was not outstanding compared to that of the Shadowflame Dragon or the Torrential Flood Dragon, but the swirling smoke made it appear much larger.

This was the Fiery Dragon, seemingly coming alone.

Only when it reached the Torrential Flood Dragon did they notice a rough scale protruded on its dragon head, forming a simple chair. Seated upon that chair was King Ares, his figure blurred by the smoke.

Huff huff huff…

From the throat of the Fiery Dragon came the sounds of Magic Power Dragon Language, similar to the peculiar noise made by flames burning in a strong wind.

Whirr whirr whirr…

The Torrential Flood Dragon responded in Magic Power Dragon Language, returning the Fiery Dragon’s greeting.

At this moment, King Ares also stood up from behind the smoke, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of the Torrential Flood Dragon: “Torrent, I am relieved to see you unharmed; you’ve worked hard during this time.”

Whirr whirr whirr…

The Torrential Flood Dragon responded.

King Ares laughed heartily, “No matter, let us pay a visit to Shadowflame Volcano together; it’s time to meet the Shadowflame Dragon… ‘There’s no meeting without a fight,’ it’s time to move the relationship between our two countries forward.”

The exchange above the clouds did not reach down to the Flame Swamp below.

However, the majesty of the dragons truly radiated to every corner of this Warm Enclave, causing every serf and knight to kneel down involuntarily, prostrate in worship.

Members of the Sunflower Family were no exception.

“Father, that smoky figure…” Kunsup asked quietly.

Lord Kunteang placed a finger on his lips: “Shh, be silent, do not offend the majesty of the Dragon Knight, show reverence, devout reverence… The Dragon Knight is our human hope, with him here, our Grand Duchy is saved!”

Kunsup quickly lowered his head, not daring to ask any more questions.

Only long after the Fiery Dragon and the Torrential Flood Dragon had vanished from sight did he dare to quietly ask his father, “With the Dragon Knight’s personal arrival, the Shadowflame Dragon will surely submit… Father, doesn’t it mean that big brother will soon ascend to the throne?”
