Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 654 - 654 652 Shadowflame... Unbeatable

Chapter 654: Chapter 652: Shadowflame… Unbeatable Chapter 654: Chapter 652: Shadowflame… Unbeatable “Power has surged!”

In the midst of Shadowflame Volcano, half the area was partitioned to serve as a passage for entering and exiting the Shadowflame Volcanic Realm, while the other half belonged to the territory of the Shadowflame Dragon, undisturbed by the outside world.

At this moment, the Shadowflame Dragon lay bathing in the magma, then suddenly opened its eyes and comfortably jolted, “The familiar power is back again. A new Warm Enclave has been established, new power flows in, Shadowflame… invincible!”

“Shadowflame, now among the many human dragons, you are definitely one of the top!”

On a stone pillar rising from the lake of magma, Russell sat with his long sword across his knees, a serene smile on his face.

“Not just one of the top, absolutely the first!” the Shadowflame Dragon responded arrogantly, feeling the new power surge, “Shadowflame has always been among the strongest of dragons, now continuously expanding Warm Enclaves, absolutely no dragon can compare to Shadowflame!”

Saying this, it deeply glanced at Russell.

All this was brought by Russell.

Apart from naturally nurtured Bipedal Flying Dragons, Russell had brought it many power-ups. Two Phantom Dragons had established Warm Enclaves and two Pseudo-Dragons had established Warm Enclaves, and now two Fallen Flying Dragons had also established Warm Enclaves.

Any dragon given so many power-ups would become the most powerful among dragons.

Especially since it, the Shadowflame Dragon, was already a prominent figure among dragons, not only in size but also in the area of Warm Enclaves.

“Shadowflame has already felt the critical point of power, hoping… hoping to return to the ancient past, already vaguely ahead, waiting for Shadowflame… within reach, within reach!” the Shadowflame Dragon exclaimed excitedly.

“Calm down, Shadowflame, weren’t you just aware a few days ago of the Warm Enclave established by Fred’s breeding dragons?”

Russell responded calmly.

He closed his eyes, immersed in the enlightenment of swordsmanship.

The Secret Technique: Sword of Thunder, using the bright thunder of the Sacred Unicorn and the dark lightning of the Nightmare Beast Senbula, had evolved into the Supreme Secret Technique: Sword of the Sun, more powerful and eliciting a more intense elemental force.

It could well be called his strongest strike under the conceptual slash.

Then the learning of Sword of Fire continued, still without an enlightenment moment. So now he was ready to change his approach and try to understand the Secret Technique: Sword of Fire, to see if he could perceive anything resembling the supreme technique of the Sword of the Sun.

And the Shadowflame Dragon was his subject for power comprehension.

“But this feeling, really feels explosively good, Russell, you wouldn’t understand, Shadowflame feels like it’s ascending!” the Shadowflame Dragon prattled nonstop, its words increasing as its strength grew; it almost became a chatterbox.

Completely unlike when it had been beaten into autism by the Snow Giant.

Russell smiled faintly, not responding, but focusing on understanding the power of the Shadowflame Dragon, perceiving the power of the fire element.

Even his thoughts drifted far away: “Shadowflame is of fire elemental attribute, Fiery Dragon is also of fire elemental attribute, but the fire elements between them are quite different… perhaps I should try to perceive the power of a Fiery Dragon?”

Apart from Fiery Dragons, there were many other dragon powers to perceive, as the Volcanic Realm was continuously being expanded, and he could visit any volcano he wished.

However, just then.

The Shadowflame Dragon suddenly exclaimed in shock, “Incredible, incredible, Shadowflame… feels a new power influx again, this time from the west, could there be another Bipedal Flying Dragon being brewed?”

This time it was Russell’s turn to be surprised, “More?”

“I don’t know, but this power really feels amazing, Shadowflame is starting to expand!” The Shadowflame Dragon was exhilarated to the extreme, its long, narrow pupils dilating and becoming perfectly round, its expression instantly softened.

As the Knight of the Shadowflame Dragon, Russell naturally also felt the augmentation of power, the fifth layer of the concentric circle, where the power of Dragonflame surged and stirred.

Of course, however much the fifth layer’s Dragonflame power expanded, it was still tightly wrapped, enveloped, and suppressed by the sixth layer’s Ancient Dragonflame. This structured the power particles of the entire concentric circle into an indivisible whole.

“Let’s go, Shadowflame, since there’s an unknown new power, we should go see it ourselves!” Russell proposed.

He immediately mounted the throne, rode the Shadowflame Dragon out of the volcano, and headed straight west.

Shortly thereafter.

Seeing Fred, who had just survived the Dragon Tribulation, and Morik, the Pseudo-Griffin Dragon—no, now the Pseudo-Dragon Griffin,

“Your Majesty!” Fred, still mid-air, pounded his chest in salute.

“Good, good, good!” Russell laughed heartily, “You have finally become a Lord of the Dragon Domain, adding another case to the path of Dragon and Human!”

“Without Your Majesty’s teachings and the guidance of ‘The Path of Dragon and Human,’ Morik and I would not have easily transcended the tribulation,” Fred humbly said, “With the warm enclave developed, the experiences of our ancestors, and Your Majesty’s teachings, I am where I am today!”

“You are too modest,” Russell said with a smile. “Now that the dragon has awakened, and you have ascended as a lord, get ready. At the end of June, I will hold a knighting ceremony for you!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

“Also, when you have time, go to the Amber Dreamland and join the ‘Dragons and Humans Path Congress’ led by Grand Duke Vitali. Study the path together to strive to forge a straightforward route for the Way of the Knight, allowing more knights to reach the peaks.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Having understood the new powers from the elevation of the Pseudo-Dragon, Russell mounted the Shadowflame Dragon and left the developing Warm Enclave.

He did not return but instead flew towards the national boundary.

“Sure enough, as expected, Shadowflame, our borders have expanded once again!” Russell exclaimed joyfully as he flew over the Snowfield, sensing the reach of the Shadowflame Volcano’s power, “This time it has expanded by more than a dozen kilometers!”

In days past, half of Greentown Snow Forest was within the national boundary, half outside.

Now, Greentown Snow Forest lay entirely within the boundary.

“It’s a pity, Frost Snow Giants are all hiding,” the Shadowflame Dragon remarked, watching only Snow Demons and Snow Ghosts wandering over the snowfield, feeling a pang of regret.

It now wished for daily outbursts of Dragon and Giant battles.

“Aren’t you satisfied after hoarding so many Frost Star Beads?” Russell asked with a laugh.

“These things, who would find them too many?” the Shadowflame Dragon sneered ferociously, “It’s just a pity Shuang Da is hiding somewhere, the Frost Star Beads of Shuang Da are what Shadowflame most desires to collect!”

Suddenly.

The Shadowflame Dragon remembered something: “Russell, it seems there’s something we haven’t done.”

“What is it?”

“Give Torrent, that little thief, a good thrashing!”

“Uh… you still remember that grudge.”

“Shadowflame never forgets any enmity!” the Shadowflame Dragon’s pupils contracted, hatred rising instantly, “Let’s go now. Shadowflame feels invincible, strong enough to take on two, let Scorching come along!”

Russell was greatly embarrassed: “Calm down, calm down, Shadowflame.”

Then he tried to pacify, “Actually, Torrent is also quite pitiful, hopes shattered, unable even to develop the Volcanic Realm, only able to wander alone in the Amber Dreamland…”

“Russell, surely you haven’t gone soft?” the Shadowflame Dragon questioned in his mind, “Is the weak demeanor of that thief Torrent swaying your heart? A knight can contract with five Phantom Beasts, perhaps you could also contract five dragons. Why not try?”

“What are you talking about, am I, Russell, that kind of person?” Russell retorted loudly.

“Shadowflame was just saying, let’s return,” the Shadowflame Dragon responded with a meaningful smile.

It looked fearsome yet evil.

Speeding along the way, they soon reached the edge of the Volcanic Oasis and could see the encroaching ice cap of the Volcanic Oasis slowly melting.

This was not due to the arrival of the Warm Season, melting the snow.

But rather because the Volcanic Oasis was expanding, just like the national border; as the power of the Shadowflame Dragon grew stronger, so did the reach of the Volcanic Oasis.

At this sight.

Russell sat upon his throne, self-satisfied: “Shadowflame, the prologue of the Amber Age slowly unfolds, and our ventures are thriving!”
