Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 701 - 701 699 Burning Sword

Chapter 701: Chapter 699: Burning Sword Chapter 701: Chapter 699: Burning Sword The power condensed by the Bipedal Flying Dragon was the Dragon Breath, which had been incredibly powerful from the moment of its birth but also, similarly, constrained the development of the Bipedal Flying Dragon.

No matter how the Bipedal Flying Dragon grew, its power was locked within the Dragon Breath.

Moreover, between it and the giant dragons, there was an absolute hierarchical gap, so minuscule that it couldn’t even partake in the wars of the giant dragons.

However, at this moment, Mr. Luo Man and Ros the Clay Dragon announced that this shackle had been broken.

“His Highness Shadowflame has ascended to become an Ancient Dragon, and its subordinate Bipedal Flying Dragon has also broken through the constraints on its strength. Henceforth, the Dragon Breath can be cultivated into Dragonflame, treading the path of dragons and Phantom Beasts!”

“Unbelievable!”

“Inconceivable!”

For the Flying Dragon Knights, this was nothing short of heavenly music. Ever since His Majesty Russell had opened the path of human-dragon integration, the status of Flying Dragon Knights had gradually declined, their power having been fixed.

Only Phantom Beasts could continuously climb to new heights and ultimately ascend to become Phantom Dragon Knights, wielding the same level of Dragon Flame Power as the Dragon Knights.

Grande Duke Vitali had successfully ascended to become a Phantom Dragon Knight, which proved that this path of human-dragon integration was accessible to everyone.

Yet, the Flying Dragon Knights could not advance!

But now, the shackles of the Flying Dragon Knights were finally broken too, allowing them to embark on the path of human-dragon integration, ascending to become Phantom Dragon Knights.

“Can only the Flying Dragon Knights from the Shadowflame Kingdom ascend to become Phantom Dragon Knights?” someone asked, pointing out the elephant in the room.

But for the time being, no one had an answer.

In the City of Amber, many Flying Dragon Knights lingered, and so far, only Bipedal Flying Dragons from the Shadowflame Kingdom had sparked to life, gaining powers akin to those of Pseudo-Dragons and Phantom Dragons, able to transform into elemental brands.

“What about His Majesty Russell?” King Debuloye spoke up, “Why not ask His Majesty Russell directly?”

“Indeed, instead of making blind guesses here, it’s better to ask His Majesty Russell directly!”

“His Highness Shadowflame’s ascension to an Ancient Dragon has changed the entire Dragon Sleep Continent. We, the Kings, Grand Dukes, and members of the Amber Council, should all go to Red Castle in the Shadowflame Kingdom to offer our congratulations to His Majesty Russell!”

“Let’s go together, let’s go!”

So they did, but at the Shadowflame Volcano and Red Castle, they did not find any trace of Russell.

In fact, Russell was in trouble at this moment. He and the Shadowflame Dragon were perceiving together, grasping the Rule Power of fire, revolution, and rebirth. However, the overwhelming Rule Power was melding them into one entity.

Just like Young Lord Darimu and the Revenge Ancient Dragon.

Whether it was Young Lord Darimu or Sigruft as chronicled in “Song of the Volcano,” they were all too weak to resist the Rule Power. Eventually, they merged with the Lost Dragon to form the Revenge Ancient Dragon.

Russell was facing the same trouble.

The Rule Power wielded by the Flame Ancient Giant Dragon was too strong, nearly on par with the Rule Power of the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon.

But the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon had the extremely rare Cosmic Tree seed as its core, which did not require Russell as a vessel to carry all its rule authority. The Flame Ancient Giant Dragon, however, lacked such a vessel.

The Dreamscape Ancient Dragon had the Cosmic Tree seed as its vessel.

The Revenge Ancient Dragon had challengers like Darimu Ice Ridge and Sigruft as its vessel.

The Ancient Dragon of Freedom had countless fairies as its vessel, merely taking the form of Saiban Nia.

And for the Flame Ancient Giant Dragon, Russell was the vessel.

“Shadowflame can’t control it. The Rule Power is too vast, especially the Flame Rules, which are the origin of all life!” Amidst the void, within the unknown flames, the Shadowflame Dragon struggled in agony.

“It’s not that the Rule Power is too great, but that Dragon Sleep Continent is already in ruins…” Russell also endured suffering.

He and the Shadowflame Dragon could merge into one being, but could not become entirely one.

He was always an independent entity and did not want to become something like Young Lord Darimu, neither human nor dragon. Moreover, after the fusion, both his and the Shadowflame Dragon’s thoughts would be eroded by the Rule Power.

“Shadowflame, we must fight our way out of the bonds of the rules!” Russell roared in his mind, “As the Cosmic Tree withers, the Dragon Sleep Continent will ultimately fall silent, and even if we become part of the rules, we’ll eventually head towards Silent Annihilation!”

“Amber Dreamland!” The Shadowflame Dragon roared, “Russell, we go to Amber Dreamland!”

“The pull of the Rule Power is too strong!”

Russell knew that Amber Dreamland was where hope lay, but he and the Shadowflame Dragon were trapped by the rules. The place they now existed in belonged to the world of the Flame Rules, an indescribable place.

Just like the Revenge Ancient Dragon, trapped in the abyss of the void.

These were not normal worlds and would eventually vanish from the cosmos along with the disappearance of the Dragon Sleep Continent.

All of a sudden,

Russell heard a dragon’s roar within his soul.

In a moment of elation, he exclaimed, “It’s Ice Cream; it has sensed my plight. Shadowflame, hang in there, Ice Cream will come to rescue us!”

At this time,

Suddenly, an amber phantasm appeared amid the flames—it was the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon, its eyes emitting an infinite radiance that suppressed the surrounding inferno. At this moment, Russell also revealed his true form.

Seizing the opportunity, Russell quickly crushed the rib bracelet on his right wrist and then activated the green leaf mark on the back of his hand.

“Darimu, Saiban, aid me!”

The wind of freedom blew, and the pitch-black tatters emerged intermittently. Together with the amber phantasm, the three ancient dragons joined forces, using their own Rule Power to crush the flame’s Rule Power.

The flames receded.

Russell finally escaped, climbing out from the world of flame rules and appearing above Shadowflame Volcano.

But the Shadowflame Dragon was still trapped within, and as Russell reached out to it, the dragon shook its head: “Russell, Shadowflame is a part of the rules. With Dragon Sleep Continent facing Silent Annihilation, the rules are incomplete; Shadowflame cannot bear it!”

With a loud roar, it said, “Leave now, Russell. Shadowflame will soon be lost within!”

Saying so, it struggled to break free from the flames’ embrace, stretching out a forelimb and flicking a small spark outwards.

The small spark fell into Russell’s right palm, transforming into a faint flame mark: “Russell, remember to summon Shadowflame… The happiest times for Shadowflame were the eight years spent with you from our first meeting, to our companionship, until our unity!”

“No!” Russell reached out, trying to grasp the Shadowflame Dragon, “Come with me, Shadowflame, I will take you to Amber Dreamland!”

“I can’t go, nor do I wish to!” The Shadowflame Dragon smiled, showing its fierce appearance, but Russell could feel its deep affection and reluctance.

Eight years of time—and even though only a bit more than one year of true bonding.

“If you don’t wish to, then we’ll do it together!” Russell glanced back at the amber phantasm of the Little Dream Dragon, his mind already overflowing with a thousand words of explanation, hoping the Little Dream Dragon could lead humanity towards a new world.

And he, he must rescue the Shadowflame Dragon!

“Hold onto Russell!” The Shadowflame Dragon looked towards Saiban and Darimu.

The wind of freedom and the black tatters swiftly wrapped around Russell’s limbs, preventing his escape.

“Let me go, Saiban, Darimu!”

“Russell, Dragon Sleep Continent needs you. You cannot go back; there is only flame, nothing else!” Saiban said.

Young Lord Darimu’s eyes flickered as he slowly spoke, “Endless darkness, Russell, you wouldn’t want to go there!”

“But I can’t let Shadowflame be lost in the world of flames alone!” Russell’s expression was resolute, “Saiban, Darimu, let me go. I know what I’m doing. I will return with Shadowflame!”

The Little Dream Dragon’s phantasm cried out.

But none of this could shake Russell’s determination. He longed for immortality, not out of a fear of dying. He had already faced the great terror between life and death once before, and besides, this time it wasn’t death—just merging with the rules.

“Ah!” Saiban sighed heavily, and the wind of freedom dispersed.

Darimu also, after frowning, withdrew the black tatters, while only the Little Dream Dragon still futilely tried to hold onto Russell with its phantasm.

The world of flames grew dim, the figure of the Shadowflame Dragon blurred, and the gate to the world of rules was about to close.

Russell took a deep breath and stepped forward.

However, at that moment, a sudden call in his mind halted his step: “Father!”

Russell paused slightly, knowing it was his Bipedal Flying Dragon, Black Oil Dragon Ross, who had arrived.

“Why not use it to bear His Highness Shadowflame!” Ross clutched a massive sabre, “Snow Soul Blade, let the rules of flame refine this weapon forged of Snow Soul, making it a vessel for the rules!”

Then,

It acted before Russell, throwing the Snow Soul Blade into the world of the flame rules. Boom—a burst of flames exploded.

As if after a long period of tempering, and yet as if it was but a fleeting moment.

The gates of the flame world closed, and a red longsword, with lifelike flame patterns, fell from the gap.

Landing beside Russell’s feet.

Russell slowly bent down and picked up the red longsword with a length of about two meters, which fit his hand perfectly.

The moment he gripped the sword’s handle, the longsword erupted into a tumultuous fire, enveloping Russell with it.

Then, a sonorous dragon’s cry rose from the blade.

The kings of various nations, waiting within Red Castle, saw above Shadowflame Volcano, Russell holding aloft the Burning Sword, conjuring a hundreds of meters huge Flame Giant Dragon from within the flames with the distinct ferocious form of the Shadowflame Dragon.

“Roar!”
