Hamid's Flight

"Run!"

"Don't block my way!"

"Damn it, that dragon is catching up!"

"By the Flame Lord!"

"How dare he devour the giant! Isn't he afraid of the Grand Sultan's wrath?"

The Fire Giant surged out of the Brass Palace gates, howling and pushing as they fled this deadly place with all their might.

Because of their flight, billowing gray smoke and embers rose from behind them.

"Quick! Close the gate and trap that Red Dragon inside. Don't let it out!"

Hamid shouted commands as he flew.

The Fire Lizard slaves guarding the gate, their bodies bound in heavy iron chains, spun the wheel with all their might.

"Squeak"

With a grating metallic scraping sound, the brass gate slowly closed.

The Fire Giant cast spells one after another, using Arcane Lock to seal the gate, attempting to temporarily trap the terrifying dragon.

"When--"

A metallic clang rang out, and the brass door suddenly bulged, revealing scratch marks, but the door did not break.

The Fire Giant breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's... it's alright."

"He won't be out anytime soon, so we can take advantage of this opportunity."

"Boom!"

The next moment, the enormous Red Dragon smashed through the thick wall and burst out of the palace amidst billowing gray smoke and embers.

The building behind them collapsed with a roar.

Keosius flapped his wings and swooped down on the terrified Fire Giant, roaring, "Since you have chosen to be my enemies—"

"You will have to pay the price! That price is your lives!"

"He's out!"

"Run!"

"No--"

"What kind of flame is this?"

The Red Dragon unleashed raging flames, turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire that encompassed almost all the giant spirits.

Perhaps it is the cycle of karma.

The Fire Giant, who enjoys plundering Material Plane and Elemental Plane and using flames to cleanse the homes of mortals, finally experienced firsthand what it felt like to be "burned."

Dragon flames swirled around the Fire Giant ' bodies, instantly disintegrating their forms and devouring their fiery essence.

This is the dragonfire of the Progenitor Dragon, which still possesses all the characteristics of fire, but has a higher magical essence.

Hamid was still flying, trailing smoke behind him.

The Fire Giant Noble bought him a lot of time, allowing him to fly hundreds of meters away.

Hamid would occasionally look back into the distance, shaking his head in disbelief and muttering to himself.

"Impossible"

"What kind of flame is this?"

Even from hundreds of meters away, he could still feel the terror of the flames.

As the flames approached, the magic within him seemed to evaporate, gradually spiraling out of control.

Hamid truly felt that extraordinary power, and the destructive fire filled him with fear.

He had only ever seen such unattainable flames on the Fire Giant Grand Sultan of the City of Brass and the Elemental Prince of the Temple of Final Burning.

"We must leave here."

"I... I must return to the City of Brass and report to the Grand Sultan!"

The Fire Giant Noble trembled as he swung his scimitar, and a portal gradually appeared in front of him.

"Embers—"

Keosius rampaged through the City of Pig Iron, his massive dragon body easily crushing buildings and leaving behind a trail of ruins.

When the Red Dragon flaps its wings, flames rage and engulf everything in its path, devouring the terrified Fire Giant.

In front of the ancestral Red Dragon, which is over thirty meters long, these usually arrogant Fire Giant are like their former victims.

They were like lambs to the slaughter, powerless to resist, and could only pray for divine salvation.

In just a few breaths, dozens of Fire Giant had returned to their fire spirit form and been absorbed by the Red Dragon.

While enjoying the feast, Keosius also activated the [Supreme True Dragon Crown] on his head, or more accurately, the Bahamut's Wind.

He surrounded his ferocious head with the divine power of order, preventing himself from descending into rage and losing his mind.

"Hehe."

"A portal?"

Keosius sensed the spatial fluctuations in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile curved his lips.

He extended his claws and pointed them out, unleashing a rapid beam of dark green magical energy.

[Magical Atrophy]

"Hurry, hurry up!"

"By the Flame Lord, as long as I return to the City of Brass, the Grand Sultan will protect me, and he will surely be able to kill this dragon."

Hamid stared anxiously at the portal that was about to form in front of him, muttering to himself.

"Whoosh—"

The dark green light struck directly, instantly shattering the portal and restoring calm to the surrounding space.

No, no, no.

There's still a chance.

The Fire Giant Noble shook his head repeatedly, his rugged face contorted with fear.

Seeing that the spell had failed, he continued flying forward without looking back, leaving a trail of thick ash behind him.

"Trying to escape?"

"You have already chosen your destined ending!"

Keosius's roar echoed like thunder.

"Whoosh—"

The Red Dragon vigorously flapped its wings, creating a scorching hurricane powerful enough to blow down buildings, and its massive body flew a hundred meters in an instant.

Hamid dared not look back, but flew desperately, already feeling the Sulfur Scent smell and the howling hurricane approaching.

Finally, he arrived at the city gate.

"Lord Hamid?"

"That is—"

"By the Flame Lord!"

The Fire Giant guards were initially astonished as Hamid fled in panic, but were then terrified by the dragon that followed him.

"Get out of my way!"

"Release that Multi-headed Fire Salamander and stop him!"

Hamid ordered angrily.

Amidst the Fire Giant's frantic movements, the massive gate of the city wall burst open, and a gigantic, terrifying monster crawled out.

Those are Multi-headed Fire Salamander, which have huge bodies that are over ten meters long, with five heads on several snake-like long necks.

They are said to be monsters born from the blood of a dragon Lenair Dragon God, whom the evil dragon queen Tiamat killed—the hatred of the fallen god keeps them perpetually thirsty.

The released Multi-headed Fire Salamander was extremely excited, raising all five heads and roaring to the sky.

It's ready for a hearty meal.

"Aww~~"

However, it soon sensed a terrifying aura approaching from afar, along with the roaring sound of the air.

The five eyes of the Multi-headed Fire Salamander all showed confusion.

"Boom--"

The next moment, Keosius swept low overhead, his body, far larger than the Hydra Lizard, mercilessly crushing him.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere. Where the Hydra Lizard had been, only a few legs remained, its flesh and blood body completely smashed to pieces.

This monster, which is terrifying to mortals, is like a paper doll in front of the Red Dragon.

A lizard head rolled to the ground, its eyes filled with confusion.

"May the Flame Lord protect you."

"Hopefully that starving idiot can stall for a little longer."

The Fire Giant Noble continued to fly recklessly while silently praying.

However, things didn't go as planned. The hurricane followed closely behind, and a huge shadow appeared on the ground ahead.

Hamid felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and then his entire body was controlled by some powerful force.

The Fire Giant slowly raised his head, his whole body trembling, the flames above his head flickering, his terrified face almost contorted.

"Sir, I think there must be some misunderstanding between us."

The Red Dragon had firmly grasped the Fire Giant Noble in its claws, and a smile appeared on its ferocious Dragon Face.

"Honorable ' Finger-Severed One ' Hamid, please give me a reason not to kill you?"
