A month passed quietly.
On this day, a majestic black dragon shadow tore through the snowy sky and soared freely in the sky.
The blood-red wing membrane stretched to its limit, forming a terrifying wingspan of a hundred meters, like a burning cloud of blood.
He danced wildly in the cold high air, his posture was domineering and smooth.
As one ring after another of sound barrier air waves visible to the naked eye erupted behind him, the huge dragon body instantly disappeared on the spot, leaving only an echoing roar, and the next moment it appeared on the other side of the distant sky.
The speed was so fast that it was beyond the limit of what ordinary creatures could capture with the naked eye, and one could barely see a scorching red tail flame that seemed to tear the sky apart and lingered for a long time.
Such high-speed flying lasted for about half an hour.
After that, Red Iron Dragon slowly lowered its speed, converged its wings, and dived towards the bottom of Dragon Valley.
The pair of wing membranes shining with red light gradually closed up and fit on both sides of the strong body, returning to a seemingly normal dragon wing shape.
In addition, he also wore a heavy armor that was completely black and had cold and hard lines.
Not only does this armor not appear cumbersome, but it also reflects his majesty and fierceness.
However, his life aura at this moment is not as strong as in his normal state, and it only maintains around level 18.
That is what the red dragon Samantha built for him [Binding Armor].
It is made of several extremely heavy and extremely strong magical metal materials.
The alchemical matrix engraved on the inside and outside of the armor can more effectively suppress Dragon Qi. The structure is based on the Sole-Sovereign Dragon Emperor Armor of Gold Dragon, using a split type that is more convenient to wear and disassemble. A large number of alchemical Magic Array are engraved on the inside and outside, and Hypergravity Formation is deployed, and it can be changed to a certain extent as the body shape changes.
It provides an extra layer of defense for Garos.
In addition, its suppression and restraint also improve the Garos exercise effect.
However, he doesn't intend to wear this thing all the time except when he wants to exercise.
It is too bulky, and although it has some defensive effects, it is actually not as good as the Cold Explosive Scale before Garos. Its main effect is to suppress its own power.
As for relying on it to play pig and eat tiger...
Garos had a similar thought before, but it was more of a self-joking joke.
Deep down he has no real interest in it.
A real tiger, even if it pretends to be a pig, may not be able to eat it; and when dealing with those fake tigers, there is no need to bother.
"My ultimate speed is more than double what it was before I fell asleep."
"Now even wearing this Binding Armor, my speed is faster than before when I went all out."
Red Iron Dragon exhaled a hot breath and condensed into white mist in the air. He thought calmly in his heart, "Now, if I were to face Blue Dragon Leader Dominic in his heyday, even if he decisively transformed into elements as soon as we met and started running away without looking back, he would never be able to escape my pursuit."
At this time.
Seeing that he had finished his aerial exercise, Red-Silver Dragon Deborah, who was waiting silently on the side, gently stretched his slender and graceful wings, like a light feather, and landed opposite him.
She looked like she had been carefully cared for.
The originally beautiful scales seemed to have been carefully polished, smooth and clear, shining with a charming sheen of honey and silver. There was not even a trace of dust to be found between the gaps between the scales. The overall look was clean and flawless, and intoxicatingly beautiful.
Even if you are not Dragonkin, you can still appreciate her beauty.
What's even rarer is that she wears some gorgeous but not flashy jewelry.
A golden necklace with exquisite patterns was wrapped around her slender neck, a silver forehead band was tied at the base of her majestic dragon horns, and a delicate honey-colored anklet was clasped around her wrist.
These accessories sparkled on her body, making her even more dazzling.
Standing opposite Red Iron Dragon, Deborah lowered his head slightly and stopped talking.
She seemed to have mustered up the courage to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she found it difficult to say them and turned into a hint of hesitation.
Red Iron Dragon looked away from the carefully taken care of details on her body.
He grinned and joked, "Dressed up so beautifully?"
"Deborah, you don't want to seduce me to do evil, do you? I have to remind you that according to Dragon Race's age, I still have two years left before I officially enter adulthood."
Opposite him, Deborah's face armor covered with fine scales was instantly hot, as if steam was about to emit.
"Rude! Presumptuous guy! You... you are talking nonsense!"
She seemed to have been stepped on the tail, and glared at Red Iron Dragon in shame. No longer caring about what she originally wanted to say, she suddenly spread her wings and rushed back to the depths of Burning Steel Fortress almost as if she was running away. She hid herself and disappeared.
At the bottom of the valley, Garos looked at the back of Red-Silver Dragon running away in panic, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"It seems that I was right. I am not the only one who has been restless and depressed due to growing up."
He knew it in his heart.
After that, Red Iron Dragon did not choose to go to the fortress to recover Deborah.
It is more important to focus on your own improvement.
He quickly abandoned the distracting thoughts in his mind, became focused again, and then put on the heavy Binding Armor and performed various exercises at the bottom of the valley.
As time passed quietly, the sky at Borderlands gradually became dark.
The deep night covered the sky and the earth.
Phew--!
At this moment, a golden meteor streaked across the dark night and quickly approached in the direction of Dragon Valley.
When you get closer, you can clearly see that it is a giant dragon with a strong and majestic body covered with golden dragon scales.
Exactly Gold Dragon Alberto.
His size has grown a lot since Garos last time I saw him, and he is even stronger than a red dragon of the same length. His whole body exudes a mighty and powerful aura, making him stand out.
Seeing Red Iron Dragon who was exercising below, Gold Dragon's eyes suddenly lit up.
He immediately adjusted his direction and quickly landed near Garos.
"Hey! Garos, long time no see!"
Gold Dragon raised his head, and above his head, there were dragon horns spread out in layers like a gorgeous crown. At a rough look, there were as many as four pairs, which was particularly eye-catching.
Red Iron Dragon glanced at him, his eyes lingering on the overly prosperous dragon horns for a moment.
He asked calmly, "Your sister Nasha, didn't you trim off those extra corners of your body?"
Gold Dragon Alberto Hearing this, he just smiled nonchalantly, "Just her? Not worth mentioning."
Wouldn't it be enough to just remove it and put it back together?
What a big deal.
He added in his heart.
Ever since he "grew" these pairs of majestic dragon horns, Alberto found that no matter where he went, he received more looks, wonders, and even awe than before, which undoubtedly strengthened his determination to continue to maintain this image.
Anyway, except for a few giant dragons, other creatures can't tell whether they are real or fake.
"After you fell asleep this time, apart from your larger size and some changes in your scales and dragon wings, it seems that... your breath of life has not increased much?"
Alberto looked at Red Iron Dragon carefully, his eyes shining brightly.
After he heard that Red Iron Dragon had awakened, he came to Borderlands specifically. One of his main purposes was to see with his own eyes how much his opponent, who had repeatedly defeated him, had grown after this long slumber, so that he could compare it with his own improvement after his slumber.
But now based on the initial perception, the strength of the opponent's aura does not seem to be strong.
Although Garos does look more powerful, and the jet black armor he wears also looks quite majestic, but the intensity of the life breath exuding is not much different from before he fell asleep.
"Well, it's pretty much what you sensed."
Red Iron Dragon nodded and did not deny it.
At the same time, some uncontrollable thoughts emerged involuntarily from Gold Dragon's mind.
Everyone is level 18, but after I woke up this time, I have actually mastered several powerful skills, which is different from what I used to be.
Maybe... now is the opportunity to have a chance with Garos and avenge the past?
Alberto The more I think about it, the more motivated I feel.
He didn't like nonsense, so he took a step forward, stared at Red Iron Dragon with burning eyes, and solemnly declared.
"Garos! I, Alberto, will formally challenge you!"
After saying that, he quickly added cautiously, "The premise is that you are not allowed to use that special state where Red Lotus Pattern appears all over your body!"
For this kind of request, Red Iron Dragon has no reason to refuse.
He nodded again to express his acceptance.
Two minutes later, the two quickly finalized the specific content and bets of the challenge.
Similar to the previous model, if Alberto loses, he will have to bear the debt that he finally paid off again, and the amount will be heavier than before; as for the price of Garos's loss... He actually doesn't remember what he just casually agreed to. After all, in his opinion, this possibility is very slim and almost non-existent.
"Let's go to the sky and fight to avoid destroying your Dragon Valley."
Gold Dragon Alberto showed excitement and anticipation in his eyes. He flapped his wings impatiently and took the lead in taking off, taking a fighting stance in the night sky.
On the surface, Red Iron Dragon looked up at him, his mouth slowly opening into a smile.
"Okay, then, let me take off this obstructive armor first."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As his body swayed slightly and his muscles contracted, pieces of extremely heavy steel armor components fell off his body one after another, hitting the solid ground at the bottom of the valley with a dull, thunderous sound, and even creating huge pits and radiating cracks on the surface.
Soon, the last piece of shoulder armor fell to the ground.
Garos revealed his dragon body covered with black and red scales and Battleworn Mark. At the same time, he seemed to have broken free from the shackles of a savage beast. A far more powerful and terrifying breath of life and Dragon Might spread out like a substance.
The surrounding air seemed to solidify at this moment.
Level 20 Life Level and Alberto cannot be accurately detected due to their perception capabilities.
However, at this moment, he realized very clearly that the true level of Garos must far exceed his own!
Because under the powerful Dragon Might of Garos, he felt waves of heart palpitations.
His keen sense reminded him that if there was an enemy on the other side, it was best to run away immediately or ask for help from his Legendary Realm dragon elders.
When he was in the Dragon Realm, he had only felt a similar sense of oppression from the dragons who had actually set foot in the Legendary Realm.
And under the Legendary Realm, there has never been any dragon that can give him such a feeling.
"I'll let you make the first move, come on."
Red Iron Dragon shook his thick neck, making a slight sound of bone friction, and said calmly.
Alberto, who was in mid-air, took a deep breath of cold air, as if he had made some kind of determination.
Then, under the gaze of Garos, he... decisively restrained all fighting postures and quickly landed back to the ground.
He stood still, his eyes were stern, his expression was majestic, and he spoke in a deep voice.
"I, Alberto·Aurelius, give in!"
If you only looked at his posture with his head held high and his eyes firm at this moment, but couldn't hear his voice, you would probably think that he was making some heroic decision. Zhan Xuan
Garos: "Don't you really want to give it a try? Maybe there is a chance?"
Alberto said categorically, "If I don't try, I will admit defeat."
Garos: "I just finished a high-intensity exercise and am feeling exhausted. You actually have a chance."
Alberto said expressionlessly, "No chance, I give up."
Garos said with a hint of ridicule, "Where did your confidence and arrogance as Gold Dragon go?"
Alberto still simply said, "It's gone, I give up."
He made up his mind, and no matter what, he would never Red Iron Dragon actually take action.
Otherwise, you may have to lie down for a long time.
Garos shook his head regretfully. "I should take off my armor again during the battle to give you a surprise."
I'm afraid that's not a surprise, but a shock enough to leave a psychological shadow... Alberto silently complained in his heart.
"Oh, when will the vow I made when I was young and ignorant be fulfilled..."
Thinking that he had been saddled with a heavier debt in the blink of an eye, Gold Dragon Alberto couldn't help but look up at the night sky, his eyes filled with melancholy of an uncertain future.
However, as he was reminded of his oath, his unyielding determination to admit defeat soon took over.
He did not think of any possibility of taking advantage of the situation, but instead cheered up his spirits again, walked aside silently, and devoted himself to high-intensity exercise again.
Even if this still can't make him surpass the monster Garos, at least it can make him stronger.
Strong enough to surpass most other dragons!
Suddenly, Gold Dragon felt that the ecological niche theory White Dragon Tressie once mentioned was very reasonable.
Since Garos cannot regain his position here, it seems to be a very good choice to use the motivation brought by the bullying here at Garos to bully other Evil Dragon who are not as good as himself.
Thinking like this, the depression in Alberto's heart disappeared instantly, and turned into more excitement and surging enthusiasm, swaying with sweat and golden light in the night.
After some time.
Hongtie finished all the exercise programs he had planned for today, but Gold Dragon Alberto continued paranoidly, as if tireless.
Garos has no interest in competing with him.
After completing his daily plan, he stopped neatly, then fluttered his wings and flew back to Burning Steel Fortress.
Inside the magnificent and warm palace.
Red Iron Dragon was lying prone on a bed made of massive gold coins, various gems and various magic precious metals. He rolled and picked up his flexible tail at will, and threw several excellent magic gems to his mouth. Then he chewed and swallowed them casually like jelly beans, as a little energy supplement after daily high-intensity exercise.
Such a luxury would be completely unaffordable if the territory under his command were not rich in resources.
Soon after.
Red Iron Dragon adjusted to a more comfortable position, rolled up his tail and put it under his head, preparing to sleep and have a good rest.
But at this moment, the scales covering his eyelids moved slightly, as if he felt something keenly.
Red Iron Dragon raised his head and looked at the huge and heavy metal door of the bedroom.
Squeak...
With a slight but clear friction sound, the door was slowly pushed open a gap from the outside, and then, an elegant and beautiful figure slipped in quietly.
It's Red-Silver Dragon Deborah.
She walked in with light steps that made almost no sound.
However, just when she completely walked into the room, the slender dragon tail swept across her as if it had eyes.
"Ouch!"
A small exclamation sounded.
The originally invisible figure of Fairy Dragon was swept out by the tail, rolled several times in the air, and then was caught by Red-Silver Dragon's tail and thrown out of the door.
Immediately afterwards, the tail of Red-Silver Dragon followed the trend.
The metal door was tightly closed, and she then cast many sealing spells to completely isolate the inside and outside.
After doing all this, Red-Silver Dragon Deborah seemed as if nothing had happened.
She walked closer and stopped in front of the bed where the treasures were piled.
Red-Silver Dragon's slender neck was slightly lowered, and his eyes looked at Garos, with an indescribable tenderness and a hint of bold invitation flowing in them.
She had no words, just breathed softly.
The breath carries the smell of Metal Dragon, brushing against Red Iron Dragon's nose and visor.
Then, Red Iron Dragon let out a deep breath from his throat.
"Have you decided?"
"Hmm."
Red-Silver Dragon responded softly.
After that, Red Iron Dragon didn't say any more words, but just responded with action.
His tail, which was resting on his head, slowly spread out and wrapped around Red-Silver Dragon's ankles.
The dragon scales touched each other, making a subtle rustling sound.
Red-Silver Dragon did not resist, but instead took another step forward, bringing the two giant dragon bodies close together, and their scales touched each other, so that she could clearly feel the heartbeat coming from Red Iron Dragon's chest.
Restless and fiery.
Red Iron Dragon's huge head lowered, and the tip of its nose rubbed against the scales on the side of Red-Silver Dragon's neck.
At the same time, Red-Silver Dragon raised his front paws and gently placed them on Red Iron Dragon's broad and solid shoulder blades. The sharp claw tips converged and he carefully felt the strength under the opponent's scales.
The gold coins and gems slid together, making crisp and melodious accompaniment sounds.
The red dragon wings slowly expanded and expanded, not for the purpose of flying, but for the purpose of closing like a curtain, with an unquestionable gesture of protection and possession, covering the two figures at the same time, blocking out the prying eyes of the outside world.
