"I declare that the winner of this final is--Garos·Ignas!"

After a short silence, Legendary Brass Dragon the emcee's penetrating voice sounded again, louder than any before Bloodburst, clearly reaching the ears of every dragon.

"He stands between the sky and the sea, and proved to us with an overwhelming and irrefutable victory that he is fully qualified to have the rules of the game that have lasted for many years changed for him! He is fully qualified to stand directly on this final stage of glory!"

"Now, let us give due cheers to Dragon of Red and Iron for his glorious victory!"

However, silence still enveloped a large area of the sky.

Many Metal Dragon people looked at the figure of Red Iron Dragon standing in the sky and were speechless for a moment, finding it difficult to accept this result immediately.

Just then.

"Garos mighty!"

"Ouch! Red Iron Dragon is invincible!"

"I knew it! You can definitely beat that guy down hard!"

Red-Silver Dragon Deborah, Fairy Dragon Vera, and Gold Dragon Nasha and Alberto... Especially the unbridled excited cheers of Fairy Dragon and Alberto were the first to break the silence.

Immediately afterwards.

Those Metal Dragon who had a brief conversation with Garos wearing gold silk before.

Silver Dragon, Copper Dragon, etc., after a slight hesitation and looking at each other, recalling the conversation just now, combined with the shocking victory in front of them, they felt more and more that this Red Iron Dragon was indeed different, maybe... How likely are those outrageous rumors about "Dragon King illegitimate child" really?

Maybe, he is the descendant of a certain Dragon King and Evil Dragon.

So, these Metal Dragon, with a bit of trial and approval, began to cheer in agreement.

At the same time, uncontrollable discussions like a tidal wave began to spread rapidly among the dragons.

"He really won. Can Evil Dragon be so powerful?"

"That kind of power... that kind of speed... just like the Legendary Realm dragon!"

"He seems to be immune to Kalwus's talent."

"No, Red Iron Dragon is Siphon who completely carried Kalwus on his shoulders, and even beat him hard. His physical attributes are too outrageous."

Amidst these discussions that were mixed with shock, analysis, and disbelief, more and more cheers began to sound from all corners of the dragon group.

They were a little sparse at first, but soon they became connected and made a lot of noise.

Questioning? Angry? Unwilling?

Of course, these emotions still exist, especially in the hearts of some Metal Dragon with traditional concepts, and they are difficult to dissipate in a short period of time.

But there are more Metal Dragon, and the way they look at Garos has undergone subtle changes.

That Red Iron Dragon did not use any cunning and insidious magic from beginning to end, and did not rely on disgusting evil curses.

What he used was the purest, most direct, and most consistent with the dragon's aesthetics - he defeated Kalwus with absolute power.

This was an upright and blameless victory.

Regardless of his bloodline, this victory itself is worth celebrating.

In the world of dragons, strength is always the most effective pass to win respect.

After all, the nature of respecting the strong is engraved in the bones of dragons. The power Garos showed at this moment is enough to conquer the hearts of many dragons.

The Metal Dragons' instinctive vigilance and caution towards Evil Dragon has not completely disappeared, but it has been mixed with more and more shock, awe, and a hint of curiosity about this special Red Iron Dragon.

The center of the battlefield.

Garos calmly restrained all the outward Dragon Might and momentum.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at Gold Dragon Kalwus, who was still floating on the sea and unconscious, then turned to the Legendary Brass Dragon emcee and said, "His injury is not serious. It is best to receive treatment as soon as possible and stabilize his condition to avoid deterioration."

After saying that, he stopped staying, vibrated his dragon wings, turned around neatly, and left the airspace.

This winning but not arrogant, calm as a mountain demeanor.

This behavior did not add insult to injury to the loser, but instead cared about his injuries.

Red Iron Dragon's performance at this moment made the Legendary Realm dragons, who were standing above the clouds and secretly observing all this, couldn't help but nod slightly, with a little recognition in their eyes.

The vast majority of people of order Metal Dragon, especially those Dragonkin who have gone through years, have profound wisdom and can set foot on the Legendary Realm, have a scale in their hearts to measure right and wrong, good and evil.

The extremely extreme Purification Faction dragon is, after all, only a minority among the minority.

For Dragonkin who shows extraordinary potential and whose behavior is not chaotic and violent, in their view, if they can try to win over and guide him, it is naturally the best result.

On one of the thick clouds, Legendary Realm Gold Dragon Orvis was so happy that he could hardly open his mouth from ear to ear, and the dragon's whiskers were trembling slightly.

He let out a loud laugh and said to several Legendary Realm compatriots with different faces around him, "Who doesn't believe it now? Who still doubts it?"

"I've said it before, this kid Garos is completely different from the other Evil Dragon who only know how to destroy and plunder!"

"He is very worthy of our efforts at the Dragon Realm to win over him. Even if he cannot be allowed to directly join Dragon Realm in the end, at least he can become our firm ally instead of pushing him to the opposite side and creating an additional enemy."

Orvis's mood at the moment couldn't be better.

Red Iron Dragon's performance far exceeded his initial expectations, and this clean victory also won him an extremely large amount of bets.

However, those Legendary Realm Metal Dragon people who lost their precious bets in this huge gamble were not in such a happy mood.

Opposite Orvis, Legendary Realm Silver Dragon from the Radiant Dragon Realm stared at him with faint eyes.

"Orvis, when you introduced him to us, you said that he only "barely" tied with a human, Legendary Sword Saint, and that he himself was on the verge of death and suffered severe injuries."

"But the facts we just saw don't seem to be the case."

Silver Dragon's words were full of doubt.

According to Orvis's original description, Kalwus has many possibilities for victory with its own talent and combat experience.

However, the fact is that Kalwus was completely crushed from beginning to end, while Red Iron Dragon seemed calm and comfortable, obviously not trying its best.

Orvis's eyes immediately widened.

"What do you want to express? Can I, Orvis, still deceive you?"

Old Gold Dragon said confidently, "I made it very clear at the time."

"When I rushed there, the battle between him and Legendary Sword Saint had long ended. As for the true level of Red Iron Dragon, I only made reasonable speculations based on traces on the scene and some information."

Next to him, another Legendary Realm Bronze Dragon roared dissatisfied, "You dare to vouch for him and persuade us to make a big bet just based on speculation?"

Orvis heard this, straightened his chest and said in a deep voice, "Why not?"

"Who in the whole Dragon Realm doesn't know that I, Orvis, have always liked gambling big time? If I see it right, I dare to place the bet! This time it's just my vision and good luck!"

He waved his paws with a trace of impatience. "Humph, if you are not convinced or dissatisfied, you can go and find it yourself! As long as it is under the Legendary Realm, no matter which foreign aid you find, as long as it can defeat the Garos I selected, I, Orvis, hereby swear that all the bets will be returned to the original amount and I will not take any money!"

He glanced at the circle of the Legendary Realm dragons around him and said in a serious tone, "Stop talking nonsense! The gambling product is the dragon product, I am willing to accept defeat!"

"Now, hand over all my loot quickly!"

The Legendary Realm dragons around him were choked into silence by his ruthless remarks.

They carefully considered in their minds the dragons under the Legendary Realm that they knew or heard about, and then found that they could not find an existence that could compete head-on with Red Iron Dragon at the same level.

Orvis This old bastard, his eyes and luck this time are really great.

Despite their extreme reluctance, under the scorching gaze of Orvis, these Legendary Realm dragons could only take out the promised bet items with dark faces in the end and handed them over to the large space props that Orvis had already prepared.

Gold Dragon Orvis couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

The corners of his mouth turned up sharply, and the dragon scales on the entire faceplate were almost squeezed together with laughter.

the other side.

Red Iron Dragon vibrated its wings and flew in the direction of its companions.

Wherever he passed, the originally dense Metal Dragon groups along the way, whether out of awe, curiosity or other complex emotions, subconsciously moved to both sides, naturally forming a smooth road for him.

"Hey! It was a great fight! It was exactly as I imagined, and we won a devastating victory, clean and tidy! As expected, our Martial Dragon is the most powerful!"

Gold Dragon Nasha has a bold personality. He stretched out his front paw and hammered Red Iron Dragon's solid and generous chest.

"I'm happy to see you weren't hurt."

At this time, Red-Silver Dragon approached, stretched his neck, raised his head and touched Red Iron Dragon's visor.

"What are you...?"

Nasha saw this scene, a trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes, and then he laughed and said, "Is this a new way of greeting? It's interesting, I want to come too!"

As she said that, she excitedly poked her head over and almost gave Red Iron Dragon a blow, causing his head to tilt back slightly.

In other words, Garos has a strong physique. If it were replaced by another dragon, it might be like seeing stars in the sky, and the sky would be dark.

Alberto stared at Red Iron Dragon closely, and said with envy and jealousy, "In the eyes of everyone, he easily defeated the challengers selected at all levels, and then left the abomination lightly, why not me?"

"Garos! I seriously doubt whether you secretly stole the perfect dragon life that should belong to me!"

Hearing this, Fairy Dragon Vera made an exaggerated face to Alberto.

She hummed and said, "Take it off, you are a little loser who was eliminated cleanly in the first round. Don't mess with our great and invincible Lord Garos here!"

Alberto also signed up to participate.

He was really unlucky. In the first knockout round, he encountered the favorite Brass Dragon Zafili.

Zafili possesses certain metamagic specialties and a talent for fast spell casting, like a moving spell turret. Alberto ultimately failed to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of her spells, and unfortunately lost.

Alberto long blushed and was about to open his mouth to defend himself.

At this moment, a dexterous brass-colored dragon shadow flapped its wings, flew over lightly, and landed near them.

"Hee, Alberto is actually not bad, his strength is still very good. If Life Level is exactly the same as us, I may not be able to hold my ground under his fierce attack."

Brass Dragon said in a clear and melodious voice with a rather fast speaking speed.

She has a proportionally slender and flexible tail, a pair of active and bright dragon eyes, shining with the light of knowledge and curiosity, and her whole body is filled with rich magical energy.

She is the favorite from the Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm, Brass Dragon Zafili.

As she spoke, her curious eyes fell on Red Iron Dragon, who attracted the most attention in the room.

"Hello, mighty Red Iron Dragon, I am Zafili."

Brass Dragon briefly introduced himself and his tone was very friendly.

Red Iron Dragon was about to respond politely, but Brass Dragon Zafili seemed to not need the other party to answer the question at all, and spoke quickly again, with questions pouring out like a barrage.

"This is the first time I have seen Red Iron Dragon with my own eyes! The combination of red dragon and Iron Dragon is very rare! Can you tell me, is your father a red dragon? Or is your mother a red dragon?"

"Oh, by the way, it is said in Dragon Inheritance that the family relationship between Evil Dragon is generally very poor."

"Is this true? What was your relationship like with your parents? Did they provide you with protection or guidance when you were growing up?"

She took a breath and continued to ask with bright eyes, "You do have traces of the red dragon and Iron Dragon on your body, but there are also many special structures that I have never seen before."

"Is this a natural mutation caused by mixed blood? Or have you awakened some strange and powerful unique talent within yourself?"

"Wow! And these... these dense scars and Battleworn Mark roads on your body are of different shades, old and new. You must have experienced many, many fierce battles."

"Can you tell me a little about your past? For example, where were you born? How did you grow up?"

"Also, how did you meet Deborah, Nasha, and Alberto, these metal dragons? When you first met, did you get into a fight because of different camps?"

Brass Dragon's thinking was abnormally fast, and he spoke extremely fast, throwing out a lot of questions involving privacy, bloodline, and experience at once.

Garos Listening to this series of almost seamless questions, I was a little speechless for a moment. I didn't know which question to start answering, or whether I should answer it at all.

He also realized firsthand why it was mentioned in the inheritance that it was best not to deal with Brass Dragon.

Just when Garos was silent, Brass Dragon took a deep breath, his chest swelled slightly, as if he wanted to say something again, and started another round of questioning.

Garos raised a dragon claw in advance, interrupting her prepared words.

"You can ask Alberto your questions first. He knows me fairly well, and it seems to me that you two already know each other."

Zafili blinked and thought this proposal was a good one.

She nodded immediately, and then looked at Gold Dragon Alberto who was about to sneak away quietly with a happy expression on her face. She chased after him and asked nonstop, "Alberto! Tell me! How did you meet? What happened when we first met? Red Iron Dragon is so powerful, is there any special secret?..."

Alberto looked dizzy.

At the same time.

Higher up in the sky, a floating cloud far away from the noisy dragons below.

Bronze Dragon Xiano narrowed his eyes slightly and stared quietly at the figure of Red Iron Dragon below, surrounded by digital Metal Dragon.

Seeing that the originally noble Metal Dragons were having a lively conversation with a Evil Dragon that had just damaged Metal Dragon's glory in the battle, and the atmosphere was harmonious, Xiano's brows frowned deeply.

An uncontrollable feeling of disgust and displeasure surged in his heart.

However, the opponent did win by relying on their upright strength and did not play any tricks. Moreover, this competition was jointly guaranteed by Orvis and many other Legendary Realm elders. Their status and identity are very high, and they are not the lowest Legendary Realm.

Xiano Although he is extremely unhappy and disgusted in his heart, he is not stupid and he also has his own pride.

He had no intention of taking advantage of the Legendary Realm to directly attack this young Red Iron Dragon.

From Xiano's point of view, even if he wants to attack, he will at least wait until the opponent also steps into the Legendary Realm and have a fair duel.

But, just when he felt unhappy under the pressure and was about to look away.

A majestic and sacred whisper, accompanied by vast coercion, sounded in the heart of Xiano.

"Xiano·Sheffield, my child."

It did not spread through the air, but resonated directly in the depths of his soul, making Xiano's dragon soul tremble involuntarily.

Xiano's eyes instantly became extremely solemn.

He looked around, Dragon Might was silent, and his sharp eyes scanned the surrounding space and other dragons, but found that they were no different and were still immersed in various emotions after the game.

It seemed that he was the only one who could hear it.

The voice of divine majesty continued to flow in his heart.

"I look at the land that carries my bloodline and expectations, and at the people who inherit my glory and oath."

"However, under the light, shadows are gradually growing, and the weight of the oath is being forgotten."

"When power is blindly worshiped, when victory masks the essential evil, when my children begin to associate with evil and even cheer for it... cracks have appeared in the cornerstone of order."

This voice was still calm, but it contained a hint of indescribable disappointment.

Xiano can clearly sense that this emotion is not directed at him, but for all Dragon Realm who seem to be going off the track.

At the same time, a thought that struck his soul flashed like lightning - he realized who the voice belonged to.

Xiano took a deep breath of cloud air, suppressed the ecstasy and excitement in his heart like a volcano erupting, and asked carefully from the bottom of his heart with the most pious thoughts.

"Is it you? Metal Dragon Clan common father, the great Platinum Dragon God Bahamut His Majesty?"

"Are you watching me? Are you communicating with me?"

The voice didn't give a clear yes or no answer.

He continued, "The glory of order is being corroded, the edge of justice is becoming dull, and my people are gradually degenerating."

A brief pause seemed to freeze the time and space around Xiano, and everything became silent.

The focus of the oracle is completely focused on Xiano.

"In this increasingly ignorant land, I see you, Xiano·Sheffield."

He continued, "My child, I am always watching you."

"Your faith, like tempered bronze, is indestructible. Your will, like a spear pointed at sin, has never wavered. The fire of justice burning in your heart is still pure and hot in this gradually dimming light."

"You are the Proxy I recognize most in this world."

Hearing this recognition and praise, Xiano felt his eyes instantly moistened, and an indescribable sorrow and excitement surged into his heart, almost making this powerful Legendary Realm dragon shed hot tears.

All this time, he has been lonely and not understood.

Evil Dragon people regard him as a mortal enemy that must be eradicated, and many compatriots for whom he fought also question his excessive behavior and lack of tolerance behind his back.

He always moved forward firmly with his inner belief.

But occasionally, in the deep night, in the vast world, he also felt confused and thought about whether his path was right or wrong.

But now, all the confusion and all the grievances have disappeared at this moment.

It's not that I took the wrong path, it's that I am alone among all the dragons.

Great Platinum Dragon God, understand him! Recognize him!

From now on, he Xiano·Sheffield will never waver even a little bit!

"Evil should not be entitled to inhabit Land of Radiance just because it is powerful or unique."

"Those who defile the order should be judged."

"Those who confuse right and wrong need to be eliminated."

"My child, uphold your beliefs, exercise your will, let the evil that should not exist here return to the darkness where it should be, and let the lost children see clearly what is the true glory and what is the limit that cannot be desecrated."

"This is both your responsibility and my expectation of you."

As the words fell, the vast and awe-inspiring pressure quietly receded like the tide, as if it had never appeared.

But every word and sentence of the oracle has been imprinted on the deepest part of Xiano's soul.

He slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of Red Iron Evil Dragon.

The gaze that originally contained a hint of hesitation and principle has now become extremely firm, sharp, and even tinged with a hint of martyr-like fanaticism.

Dragon God's recognition and the sacred mission of eradicating evil overwhelm his principles.

Because this is no longer his personal grudge or dispute of temper, this is a holy war concerning the future destiny of the Dragon Realm and defending the foundation of order!

We can no longer allow this evil seed to grow and spread in Land of Radiance.

As Proxy of Dragon God, he will carry out judgment and eliminate evil!
