Shame!

A few days later.

Boiling Sea, Raging Tide Dragon Realm, a lonely island far away from the mainland.

The waves hit the gray-black rocks and the soft sandy beach, making roaring waves one after another. When the surging white foam receded, it left winding marks on the moist sand, which were soon ruthlessly smoothed away by the new waves.

On this coastline, two figures were walking in the salty sea breeze.

The man's face is as cold as an ice sculpture, his long silver-white hair is flying wildly in the wind, his skin is the color of cold snow that has not seen the sun all year round, and he wears exquisite jewelry made of Mithril and star diamonds between his earlobes and neck, which also reflects the shining light.

The woman has a beautiful face, her honey-colored skin is glowing with health, and her cheeks are dotted with a few playful freckles. Her copper-colored curly hair is wrapped and bound by a thin and tough metal wire hairband, gently swaying with her steps.

It is Silver Dragon Aldrian and Copper Dragon Selina who appear in human form.

"The atmosphere within the clan is heavy, like lead weighing under the deep sea."

Selina's voice was very low, almost drowned by the sound of the waves. With a hint of worry, he whispered, "Did... failed?"

She looked at her partner beside her.

At this moment, an even stronger wave crashed onto the beach.

The front wave has not yet retreated completely, but the rear wave has already surged forward with a huge force, going forward one after another, never stopping, and making a deafening crash.

Aldrian's pace never stopped, his deep eyes were lowered, staring at the waves and foam under his feet that were instantly generated and instantly destroyed.

How similar is this cycle of ebb and flow to the rise and fall of the times?

A powerful empire is like a towering wave. After its peak glory, it cannot escape the fate of collapse and turn into a speck of dust in River of Time.

Even those Deity who are looked up to and regarded as Eternal Realm by mortal beings.

In the face of a broader dimension and a more powerful existence, how can we know that there is no day that falls into the dusk?

Many times, intelligent beings are not ignorant, but even if they have foreseen the signs of decline and want to retreat bravely at the peak, they are often unable to help themselves and can only watch themselves being carried by the huge waves of the times, step by step towards their destined destruction.

Silver Dragon was silent for a few seconds and slowly shook his head.

"The dragons who are older than us and know the inside story are keeping it secret."

He said in a low voice, "But silence itself is also a silent declaration."

"Twenty-Four-Winged Gold Dragon King, who has protected many Dragon Realm and protected Metal Dragon Clan for a long time... His current situation is probably very bad."

Decades ago, major Dragon Realms urgently recalled all Metal Dragons out there.

There is only one purpose, and it is extremely clear.

--Concentrate all the power of Metal Dragon and use all the strength of the whole clan to attack Immortal Realm for the Gold Dragon King who has twenty-four wings and symbolizes the strongest Metal Dragon Clan.

Over the years, dragons like Aldrian and Selina have lived on the Magic Array node at the core of the Dragon Realm.

Through the ritual Magic Array carefully constructed by the Dragon Kings, they extracted part of their pure life source energy and continuously delivered it to the king who had high hopes.

This kind of behavior, if placed on the Chromatic Dragon people who are naturally selfish, would be simply a fantasy and an impossible feat.

But the spirit of unity and sacrifice within the Metal Dragon Clan is far beyond the imagination of foreigners.

Except for a very small number of dissenters, the vast majority of Metal Dragon are willing to pay the price for this.

In fact, this is not a one-sided sacrifice.

If Gold Dragon King succeeds in breaking through, the entire Metal Dragon Clan will receive immeasurable huge benefits, and its glory can even benefit all ethnic groups on Bernardo Planet who have Dragon Blood in their blood.

At first, the ceremony went smoothly.

However, a long-planned raid initiated by Ten-Thousand-Laws White Dragon forced the ceremony to be suspended for a short period of time.

Since then, the efficiency of Magic Array in absorbing Life Energy has deteriorated, until it finally... completely failed.

This heralds two completely different endings.

First, Gold Dragon King has successfully broken through, its power is self-generated, and there is no need to rely on external support.

Secondly, Gold Dragon King's impact failed, and its own condition has deteriorated to the point where even absorbing energy is useless.

What the specific situation is, Dragon Realm's senior management is silent on this.

But according to the tradition of the Metal Dragon Clan, if Gold Dragon King is successful, the whole family will definitely celebrate, and the feast will last for several months.

However, the reality is that after the ceremony was announced, the senior leaders of the Dragon Realm, the older and more powerful dragons, just calmly announced the end of the closed state to all Dragon Realm members, and then nothing more happened.

There was no grand celebration, no dragon roar announcing victory, not even a soothing explanation.

This unusual silence shrouded the hearts of all the dragons like a dark cloud.

Brass Dragon, who used to be the most optimistic and talkative in the past, also became taciturn for a while.

"The worst result is that Gold Dragon King has fallen and died. He has been dying for a long time."

Selina let out a long sigh, and the look of worry on his honey-colored face became even stronger.

Dragon Race Once the strongest pillar collapses, the consequences will be disastrous.

Looking back at those mortal empires, whether they are developing Abyss to gain power, launching wars of conquest, or exploring the vast sea of stars, negotiating with alien civilizations... they all show great ambition and enterprising spirit, and are forging ahead.

One goes down and the other goes up.

If Dragon Race cannot quickly give birth to a new giant, the future situation will be precarious.

"No need to be so pessimistic."

Silver Dragon Aldri said, "Failure to break through does not mean inevitable fall."

"With Gold Dragon King's great power and foundation, even if he suffers a serious backlash, there is a high probability that he can save his life, but he will only be weak for a period of time."

Selina thought for a moment and nodded.

"This is indeed the highest possibility."

Even so, the solemn expressions on their faces did not dissipate even a little bit.

Once the outside world becomes aware of Dragon King's weakness and silence, temptations, covetations, and even provocations from other powerful races will surely follow.

No matter what, Metal Dragon Clan can no longer act as calmly as in the past, and needs to remain vigilant and cautious.

The two humanoid dragons continued to stroll along the coastline.

The waves chased and played around their feet, and as they walked, their steps paused at the same time.

The shallow sea area not far ahead.

A tall and muscular figure stood majestically like a rock among the surging waves, looking up at the boundless, leaden sea as if an approaching storm was coming.

As if sensing the gaze from behind, the figure tilted its head slightly.

A young but resolute face came into view. The fine bronze scales were like natural tattoos, dotted on his cheeks and the side of his neck, glowing with a cold metallic luster.

On both sides of his forehead, a pair of majestic dragon horns of the same color and slightly curved backwards highlight his identity.

A strong dragon tail covered with fine bronze scales stretched out behind him, and the tip of its tail slapped the water unconsciously, causing ripples in circles.

This is a Bronze Dragon in the form of Dragonborn.

Xiano·Sheffield.

A Life Level reaches the prime of life Bronze Dragon who is 20 years old.

He has the same surname as Bronze Dragon King who led Raging Tide Dragon Realm, and has a similar strong bloodline flowing in his body.

Among dragons of the same age, even Gold Dragon, who is known for his talent, requires an outstanding individual to reach such heights at the age of more than three hundred years.

Xiano's talent is evident from this.

More importantly, he has not yet experienced the most important sleep transformation in his prime.

Once he completes his sleep, if there are no surprises, he is almost destined to step into the Legendary Realm! Moreover, he is not an ordinary Bronze Dragon. He is born with special talents that other members of the same race cannot match. After becoming Legendary Realm, he will still be very powerful.

Xiano in the form of Dragonborn nodded politely in the direction of Aldrian and Selina.

He was speechless, and then withdrew his gaze and looked back at the deep sea where the storm was brewing. He looked seriously, as if he was thinking about some heavy proposition.

Aldrian and Selina have no intention of talking.

They looked at each other in tacit understanding, quietly changed their direction, and continued to move forward along the path away from the figure.

They did not want to have too much contact with this Bronze Dragon named Xiano.

The reason is simple. This is a person who can be called an extreme person within the Metal Dragon Clan.

Compared with his blazing sense of justice that is almost paranoid, Gold Dragon Alberto's rebellion is like a child's play.

In the general perception of the world, Bronze Dragon is a war machine of the good camp.

They have a more fiery and uncompromising sense of justice than other Metal Dragons.

They never hesitate to use their powerful power, and are keen to use violence to fight violence in the most direct and violent way to combat and eradicate the evil they believe.

Xiano·Sheffield, the same is true.

However, what sets him apart is that his justice is too pure and too extreme.

He firmly believes that all evil must be eradicated.

Evil itself must be eradicated completely, leaving no room for it.

This not only targets evil individuals, but also extends to evil conspirators, accomplices, and even... creatures with evil blood flowing in their bodies.

Among them, naturally include those Evil Dragon whose natural scale color symbolizes evil and destruction.

Whether Dragonkin is lawful evil or chaotic evil, there is no essential difference in the eyes of Xiano.

In his eyes, Evil Dragon is a cancer on this land and needs to be thoroughly cleaned up.

What makes the kin even more suspicious is that unlike other Metal Dragon vs. Evil Dragon kin, which mostly focus on Punishment and expulsion, Xiano repeatedly kills Evil Dragon kin.

This extremely cold and merciless behavior has made many of Metal Dragon's compatriots criticize him.

But he didn't care about it and went his own way.

Every time he carries out what he considers to be justice, no matter whether the target is a fellow creature or another evil creature, the outcome must be... kill them all without leaving an inch of grass behind.

[Fury of Justice]--This is the title he forged with countless blood.

Both Aldrian and Selina have a deep dislike for this Fury of Justice.

They always believe that the world is not black and white, and it should not be judged so simply.

Chromatic Dragon's evil nature is certainly influenced by his innate bloodline, but his acquired environment and fate also play a vital role. The color of his scales and the source of his bloodline should never be the only criteria for judging fellow humans and deciding life and death.

However, they are disgusted and can't openly accuse anyone.

Xiano is older and more powerful than them.

Although Metal Dragon Clan is united, there is also an internal hierarchy based on strength and seniority.

When facing an older and more powerful member of the same race, they must maintain basic respect, at least on the surface, and cannot make unreasonable criticism.

"Xiano..."

Aldrian After leaving the beach, he looked back at the figure that had turned into a black dot.

"His slumber period should be around the corner. Once his slumber ends and he becomes Legendary Realm, with his current behavior, I'm afraid it will only get worse."

Selina nodded with deep understanding. "Now there is still Legendary Realm dragon that can restrain him."

"When he himself is promoted to the Legendary Realm, this Raging Tide Dragon Realm will have fewer dragons that can suppress him."

"There is such an extreme existence. For the Raging Tide Dragon Realm, I am afraid it will do more harm than good, especially in the current situation. He will cause more unnecessary trouble for us."

At this moment, Aldrian seemed to remember something, and his eyes became sharp.

"If you see that Red Iron Dragon brat, based on Xiano's code of conduct, I'm afraid I will kill him immediately and without hesitation, regardless of what he has done, whether it is good or bad."

Selina echoed, "That is inevitable."

"He can't tolerate [the inherently evil Red Iron Dragon] in his eyes."

"However, Xiano has always been active in the vast sea area, chasing down the evil beings located in Ocean. Moreover, his sleep period is approaching, and he should not leave Raging Tide Dragon Realm in a short period of time. Naturally, he will not be able to meet Garos who is far away in Borderlands."

When Garos is mentioned, Selina's thoughts instantly drift to the distant Borderlands.

She subconsciously clenched her partner's hand and said, "Aldri, Dragon Realm's seal has been lifted, and we can go back."

"I miss our Deborah."

"I haven't seen each other for so many years. I don't know how our children are growing up."

Child...Silver Dragon Aldrian let out a cold snort from his nasal cavity.

"What do you miss?"

"Even without us around, she must be living a carefree and happy life in Borderlands."

Silver Dragon said with a straight face and a cold voice, "In my opinion, we might as well stay in the Dragon Realm for a while longer."

Selina looked at his partner's insincere expression and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She blinked narrowly and said, "Stop pretending in front of me, my dear."

"I can clearly see your little thoughts."

"The more you show that you don't care, the more it shows that you actually... miss her so much! You can't wait to fly back now to see if your baby girl has gained weight again, if her scales have become brighter, and if she has been bullied by some blind guy."

Without waiting for Aldrian to refute, she added slyly, "Besides, don't you want to avenge your shame?"

"In a competition, you were defeated by Dragonkin, who is much younger than you. This is not a glorious thing. If word spreads, it will really damage your reputation."

Hearing this, Silver Dragon's brows instantly tightened deeply, and veins seemed to be beating on his forehead.

"I... that was just a moment of carelessness!"

He argued hastily, and then took a deep breath.

"But you're right."

"That red iron kid should be Young Dragon now."

"When I return to Borderlands, I will spar with him again!"

"I was careless last time and let him take advantage of me. This kind of thing will not happen again. Considering that he is still young, I can be a little more cautious, but even so, it is enough to beat him to the ground and make him dizzy, and let him know how powerful I am."

The voice paused slightly, and he could no longer hold back his thoughts.

"Pack up your things! We will set off now and return to Borderlands."

After a while, the edge of the island.

Phew! Phew!

Two huge figures suddenly rose into the sky from the dense forest of the island. First, they flew at low altitude against the rough sea surface. The strong wing wind plowed two long white waves behind them. Then, their wings flapped violently, and the figures quickly rose up, breaking through the low hanging leaden clouds.

Two giant dragons, one silver and one red copper, broke through the air in the direction of Borderlands.

The other side of the island, the edge of the deep sea.

"The evil in this world is like the mud at the bottom of the sea, which seems to never be cleared away."

"Dirty, stubborn, endless..."

"Only through thorough purification can we have a chance to eradicate evil."

The figures of Xiano·Sheffield still stand in the shallow sea, and their low voices can be clearly heard in the sound of the waves.

"After this deep sleep, when I step into the Legendary Realm, I will cleanse this dirty Ocean and the earth more efficiently!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his strong Dragonborn form suddenly distorted and expanded.

Dazzling bronze light exploded.

The true form of Bronze Dragon, a mature man with a huge body, thick scales and exuding awe-inspiring pressure, appeared.

He did not make any roar, but took a deep look at the boundless Ocean, and immediately, the huge body quietly dived into the deep sea.

Fury of Justice is temporarily dormant.

After his return, he will sweep across the oceans and the earth with even greater force.

At the same time.

Ser Wilderness, Quenching Heights.

Iron Dragon Sorog is entrenched here. Just after receiving the message from his family members, his body slowly stood up, and a hint of uncontrollable excitement suddenly lit up in his eyes.

He had just received crucial news.

In Malnes Dungeon, the family members who were constantly exploring the ruins discovered clues to Legendary Artifact.

"Garos?"

Sorog calls for blood relatives in his heart.

However, there was no response from the other end of the mental connection, only a quiet and suppressed mental fluctuation.

"It seems that he is in a deep sleep, and his injuries are much heavier than mine."

Iron Dragon Sorog is thoughtful.

"Wait until he wakes up before exploring again? No, just in case, it's best to continue now."

Soon, Sorog made a decision. He would bring a team of elite family members to explore the dungeon himself.
