Tale of the Red Dragon Without Dragon’s Might

Chapter 380: Chapter 375: It’s Just the Beginning Now

The giants are the descendants of "All-Father" Annan and his children, but those divine descendants of the giants are even more legitimate.

The divine descendants of giants are Annan’s grandchildren and hold a transcendent status among the giants. In certain worlds, these descendants ruled over the first-generation giant empire until Annan secluded himself. In other worlds, the divine successors either guard their birthplace or try to sustain the world.

Every divine descendant of giants is an extremely powerful entity that injects primordial magic into the surrounding world. In most worlds, they remain asleep, having transformed into a natural phenomenon.

Even so, despite being so powerful, the divine descendants of giants can still become exhausted.

As Kazegro, the Flame Divine Successor, now feels tired—not physically, but primarily mentally. It’s the first time he has seen such a powerful Red Dragon; it doesn’t get injured no matter how much it’s beaten. But the most troublesome aspect is the Red Dragon’s spells, which are so strange. They’re not the typical Red Dragon spells; calling them divine power isn’t an exaggeration.

A god only needs to think about something, and then it can turn it into reality, similar to the Wish Technique, but unlike the Wish Technique, the god doesn’t distort the spellcaster’s wish. A god can also change its size at will, from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a mountain... only divine power can be so mighty and unrestrained.

Should one truly say it’s worthy of Tiamat’s divine choice?

Taking a deep breath, Kazegro is certain that this Red Dragon is not as adept as it appears.

The Red Dragon has indeed been invincible for quite some time, and the strange wind it blows is difficult for him to withstand. The Red Dragon can turn into a rainbow light, appearing instantly at a distance. But none of this comes without conditions—it requires consuming a large amount of magic power, or else the Red Dragon wouldn’t keep stuffing things into its mouth from time to time.

The current issue is that he can keep enduring, but he doesn’t know how long the Red Dragon can endure.

Besides, even losing to the Red Dragon doesn’t matter; he doesn’t fear death, but he must die after a gratifying battle—not like now, being dragged around like a dog by the Red Dragon, forced to run back and forth, struggling frantically.

With this thought, Kazegro made up his mind. He lightly tapped the ground with his foot and was lifted into the air, flying back to the volcanic crater where he had been asleep. There he saw his father’s priest, the Fire Giant Furnace Master, still waiting for him, saying, "Tell me everything about that Red Dragon."

In fact, it wasn’t just Kazegro feeling mentally exhausted; Leon was also tired.

That’s a giant divine successor, a Flame Divine Successor, powerful as expected, but to such an extent that even the Sanmei Divine Wind couldn’t do much against him, it’s really exaggerated.

Clearly, the Kraken has a challenge level of 23, only slightly lower than the Flame Divine Successor, yet the combat power is nowhere near comparable to the Flame Divine Successor. At most, it makes him cautious, but provides no pressure.

The elixir to restore mana is running out, yet that Flame Divine Successor seems to still have energy, with molten armor always replenishing... Anyway, with the sword in hand, so a strategic retreat?

Thinking about it, Leon truly feels unwilling to leave, even knowing he’s somewhat overreaching in the fight.

A high-level battle cannot be won in one fell swoop; it’s normal for it to last several days. Kazegro lost the sword, which reduced his combat effectiveness, while Leon is slowly accumulating advantages. Since he has the advantage, why leave? Leon decides to grit his teeth and persist, not leaving until completely exhausted, when he suddenly notices Kazegro is no longer pursuing him.

Why isn’t he chasing anymore?

Fighting for too long, then running too fast, causing the disengagement?

This time it’s Leon’s turn to reverse the chase on Kazegro, pursuing him back to the volcanic crater.

"Are you running away now?" Leon landed on the temple roof at the volcanic crater.

"I have no interest in dealing with you now, don’t bother me." Kazegro raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The volcano began to shake, and soon a giant two-legged creature made of molten lava rose from the crater.

Leon looked at the huge creature, seeing that it was even bigger than the Flame Divine Successor, big enough to accommodate the Flame Divine Successor, constantly emitting fierce flames and volcanic ash, suddenly feeling his head about to explode because he recognized what it was.

Normally, when invaders come to the Flame Divine Successor’s resting place, they won’t immediately face the Flame Divine Successor; the first thing they’ll encounter is the Flame Divine Successor’s cradle... like a walking volcano, that cradle will throw magma balls at the invaders, emitting scorching air, causing explosive eruptions of molten lava over the surrounding ground.

Only after the cradle is destroyed will the Flame Divine Successor sleeping within awaken.

The Flame Divine Successor is difficult to deal with, and the cradle that resembles a volcano doesn’t fall short in comparison.

Having awakened the cradle, Kazegro no longer paid attention to the Red Dragon, nodded at Jasas, signaling him to continue.

Jasas glanced at the massive cradle, the two-legged creature constantly throwing molten lava at the Red Dragon, and swallowed his throat, revealing everything he knows.

Kazegro listened, crossing his arms and nodding.

"Interesting, there really is a Red Dragon that uses swords?"

"Red Dragons actually govern kingdoms, and it seems the Red Dragon takes his kingdom quite seriously."

"While I slept, you all hid on the Lost Plateau... it’s called the Lost Plateau now? I can accept that. But now I’m awake, and the footsteps of fire giants don’t end here."

"Just in time, we’ll start from that Zhen Dan Kingdom."

At this moment, Leon circled around the cradle of the Flame Divine Successor repeatedly, reluctant to waste mana on that foolish lump, as destroying it wouldn’t bring any benefit. At this point, he noticed the Flame Divine Successor walking out.

"Why aren’t you continuing to hide?"

Generally, to stay airborne, a dragon must maintain a certain forward velocity, but some dragons can beat their wings efficiently enough to halt forward motion and hover in place. Leon is now easily able to cycle his wings symmetrically in a figure-eight trajectory on a level plane to hover in the air.

Kazegro raised his Magma Blade, pointing to Leon, and shouted, "Red Dragon, you’re good at escaping, but the kingdom you established cannot escape, nor can your lair... keep running, I will lead the fire giant army to destroy your country and your lair."

"You can continue tangled here with me," Kazegro continued, "but I advise you to go back to gather your treasures and hurry to escape."

Listening to Kazegro’s words, Leon instinctively squinted his eyes, then burst out laughing.

He originally thought he couldn’t shirk from battle or back down, but has this fight now escalated into war?

Gentlemen, I like war.

"Good, good, good, I look forward to your arrival."

"But if you don’t come to me, I’ll come to you and conveniently kill all the fire giants on the Lost Plateau."

Leon laughed loudly, no longer staying and turned into a rainbow light disappearing.

Kazegro watched the Red Dragon vanish into the sky, turned to Jasas, and said, "I’m going to rest for a few days... This is my token, now you replace me and call all the fire giants living on the Lost Plateau to assemble within ten days, and descend from the Lost Plateau ten days later to destroy the Red Dragon’s kingdom."

After assigning tasks to Jasas, Kazegro walked towards his cradle, letting his mind wander.

The Red Dragon has already consumed a lot of elixirs to restore magic power, and towards the end, he consumed them less frequently, implying he also has no more elixirs.

Elixirs for magic power recovery are expensive, complex in craftsmanship, a rarity that only an alchemy master can create, considered a chance encounter; consuming them today means none for tomorrow, let’s see what other tricks the Red Dragon has left.

That sword was taken by the Red Dragon; the Red Dragon can use a sword... Wondering if that Red Dragon, after obtaining a divine weapon, would boast arrogantly and initiate another close-range attack, it’s truly anticipated.

The Red Dragon seems to have many dragons under him, but apart from dragons, there’s nothing else. Would he rely on goblin and orc armies to challenge the fire giant army?
