worship the king

Beskar's eyes shrank to the extreme, and the vertical pupils reflected Red Iron Dragon Emperor's body and posture.

It was a Red Iron Dragon that was larger than him, and not only its size, but its majesty and momentum far exceeded his imagination.

His dark red and jet black scales are thick and dense, inlaid in layers, with a luster like metal and lava, and are covered with countless Battleworn Mark textures. The muscles under the scales are strong, like steel.

His whole dragon, just hovering there, exudes a feeling of being too powerful to be defeated.

White Dragon Beskar felt that his heart skipped a beat and his blood stagnated for a moment.

Will... will win?

Probably not.

Why do I encounter this terrible Evil Dragon just after I wake up?

For a moment, Beskar wanted to go back to the Rift Valley and sleep.

At the same time, he quickly weighed and calculated in his mind.

The harsh words he just uttered still linger in the air, but the iron fist of reality has already hit his face.

Surrender? Admit defeat? Seek the possibility of a peaceful solution?

He didn't want to fight with Red Iron Dragon, who looked like he was not easy to mess with.

Beskar's dragon face, which was originally solemn and fierce, slowly squeezed out a friendly and slightly flattering smile.

However--

"Your Majesty! This White Dragon said that he will dismantle your bones to decorate his ice-breaking nest!"

Ogre Gruff shouted loudly and eloquently, fearing that the emperor in the sky could not hear clearly.

White Dragon Beskar The smile that had just appeared on his face froze, and then shattered inch by inch.

Red Iron Dragon Emperor lowered his majestic head and looked at Ancient White Dragon with a stiff smile in the low air.

"Oh? Really."

"I'll wait and see."

His voice was not loud, and there was no hint of joy or anger, but it had a terrible sense of oppression.

As he spoke, he shook his strong body casually.

Buzz--! Buzz--!

The air made a low vibration.

Black-red arrogance that was as solid as a substance exploded suddenly from the gaps in each of his scales. This arrogance did not spread randomly, but quickly gathered, intertwined, and shaped like it was alive...

Under the nervous gaze of White Dragon.

Red Iron Dragon A second dragon head, equally ferocious, majestic, and burning with black and red flames, appeared above and behind the shoulder and neck.

It is juxtaposed with the main body's head, and its four dragon pupils flash with stern gaze at the same time.

At the same time, behind Red Iron Dragon's shoulder blades, two giant arms made entirely of solid Dragon Qi were formed, with clear muscle texture and covered with burning flames.

Red Iron Dragon Emperor opened the combat mode in seconds.

With both heads held high, he looked around the sky, one to the left and the other to the right, with four dragon eyes locked on White Dragon; his four arms were spread out, either clenching his claws into fists, or stretching his sharp fingers, grabbing in all directions, seemingly blocking all dodge space.

This majestic and violent terrifying figure completely occupied White Dragon Beskar's field of vision, filling every inch of his perception.

In comparison, his Ancient White Dragon body suddenly seemed thin and fragile.

Hiss...

White Dragon Beskar took a breath of pure northern cool air, and the last thought of testing in his heart disappeared.

Run!

Immediately! Immediately! Run without looking back!

This thought crossed Beskar's mind.

White Dragon is not as famous for speed as Dragonkin, but Beskar escaped from the claws of stronger people countless times when he was weak, so he knows the importance of speed.

Therefore, he has condensed the characteristics of explosion and flight speed.

White Dragon's wings trembled slightly, and the extremely cold wind was generated out of thin air, clinging to his wings like a living storm, flowing rapidly, freezing the air into pieces of ice crystals.

He was ready to run away.

"Do I give you permission to go?"

With an indifferent whisper, Red Iron Dragon in the sky raised a dragon claw on its right forelimb and pointed it at White Dragon who was about to flee.

Life Reaping!

An invisible, qualityless, yet majestic feeling of attraction and pull suddenly burst out from the tip of Red Iron Dragon's sharp claws.

Woo--!

Countless wind and snow were pulled and twisted by this force, rolling up a tornado visible to the naked eye.

One end of it is connected to Red Iron Dragon's sharp claw, and the other end is tightly holding White Dragon Beskar's body.

Click! Click!

A heartbreaking sound of cracking sounded.

On the other side of the tornado, the dragon scales on Beskar's body began to crack Shatter at the edges.

The strands of Dragon Blood were forcibly stripped out, mixed into the tornado, and surged towards Red Iron Dragon's body.

White Dragon Beskar Before he could really start to escape, he felt a faint feeling of weakness arise spontaneously, and various physical attributes dropped.

"This skill is Life Reaping of Eternal Death Dragon?"

"No, why is the effect so strong? How much does his physical attributes exceed mine?"

Beskar feels even more ridiculous.

Immediately afterwards, the giant wings of Red Iron Dragon Emperor suddenly unfolded! The wingspan easily exceeded a hundred meters, covering the sky and the sun like clouds hanging from the sky.

This gesture was clearly a prelude to an imminent charge.

His goals are self-evident.

On the other side, White Dragon Beskar witnessed all this without any hesitation.

Red Iron Dragon Emperor before officially launching the charge.

Beskar made the decision with the most decisive speed in his long life.

He collected all the cold air and hostility that had been released, and his body, which was about to flee, landed low in a smooth posture, clasping his four claws tightly on the melting frozen soil, lowering his head deeply, and his long neck and back formed a gentle arc.

"The great Emperor Ignas! The powerful Dragon of Red and Iron."

"I trespassed into His Majesty's territory and offended Dragon Might. I really deserve death."

"You Dragon Might are the best in the world. Today I can see His Majesty's true face and experience His majesty's majesty firsthand. Only then can I realize the vastness of the world and the insignificance of myself! In the past, I was like an ice frog at the bottom of a well, sitting in the well and looking at the sky, arrogant! Those rumors about Your Majesty are not as good as your true majesty."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Forgive me, this ignorant and stupid dragon, for my offense."

"I am willing to offer all the treasures I have accumulated over the years as compensation! Or, in any other way that satisfies His Majesty, I beg for your forgiveness."

His head was pressed firmly against the ground, his posture submissive and humble.

Silence.

A deathly silence enveloped the area.

Only the roar of the hot air and the sound of the surrounding ice and snow continuing to melt due to the high temperature were left.

Aura Kingdom's Troll and Ogre soldiers were all dumbfounded and could hardly believe their eyes.

They knew that His Majesty was powerful and majestic, but to witness a Legendary Realm dragon in front of His Majesty so neatly and humblely surrendered to the dust... the visual and spiritual impact was indescribable.

As expected of our great Emperor!

Dragon Might arrives, the dragon surrenders!

The awe of Red Iron Dragon Emperor in the hearts of the soldiers has climbed to a new level.

In the air, the two heads of Red Iron Dragon were slightly lowered, looking down at the Ancient Dragon whose postures changed so smoothly, with the front and rear being deferential.

"No wonder White Dragon is regarded as a shame by many Dragonkin."

"A Ancient Dragon, an ancient dragon forged from time and ice, is now prostrate on the ground humbly."

Red Iron Dragon said coldly and sharply.

This merciless evaluation was like a dagger, piercing into the deepest inferiority and pain in Beskar's heart.

His body stiffened slightly, he clenched his sharp claws, tensed his muscles, and then slowly relaxed them. While suppressing his anger, he buried his head lower, not showing any changes in his expression.

"We Dragonkin respect the strong, not the years. You are right."

He gritted his sharp teeth and agreed.

However, Garos's words did not stop at disparaging.

He changed the subject and said, "But there is something about you that many of your kind who are stronger than you do not possess."

Beskar couldn't help but raise his ears a little.

"Know what's interesting."

Red Iron Dragon Emperor said both words at the same time.

"Or, to be more precise, it is based on a clear understanding of the power gap and the persistence of survival."

"Most dragons are arrogant. Even when faced with invincible enemies, they often choose to roar towards destruction in order to defend their illusory dignity and burn their long lives and future possibilities in a stupid charge."

"And you, the moment you recognize the reality, make the best choice for survival."

"This wisdom, although it doesn't sound like a dragon, is more valuable in today's era than mere barbarism."

Red Iron Dragon's voice is magnificent and calm, and the evaluation was beyond Beskar's expectations.

No further humiliation.

Instead, it gave him a different kind of affirmation.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your approval. I rarely hear approval from my own kind."

He raised his head slightly and said after two seconds of silence.

Red Iron Dragon in the air slightly adjusted the posture of its four arms.

The invisible pressure has subsided slightly, but the majesty still envelopes all directions.

"You are sleeping in the ice field, thirsting for power and dominance. You just want to prove that White Dragon is not a weakling, and you want to occupy a place in this vast world."

"But, with only the limits of your bloodline and the barrenness of the ice sheet, how far can you see the scenery?"

He paused for a moment to let the deep meaning of his words settle, then stared at White Dragon and continued to speak.

"Now, I'll give you two choices."

"First, you can just leave."

"What happened today can be regarded as a misunderstanding. I have no intention of hunting down a member of the Ancient Dragon race who humbly knelt down for survival. You can leave the ice sheet and find a remote and desolate place to show the power of the Legendary Realm. Become the king and hegemon in a limited land and enjoy the awe and worship of the weak."

"Until one day, you meet another stronger being that you can't cope with and deprives you of everything; or, over the long years, loneliness wears away your last ambition and passion bit by bit, and you eventually die in twilight, nameless."

Saying that, Red Iron Dragon landed in front of White Dragon slowly.

He stood upright, his strong body standing on the ground, his giant wings covering the wind and snow, almost covering the entire White Dragon.

"Second,"

Red Iron Dragon's four dragon pupils shone brightly for a moment at the same time, and stretched out its giant claws towards White Dragon.

"Follow me, join Aura Kingdom, the sharp teeth and scales that guard the vast territory."

"In my case, power does not only come from bloodline. Resources, knowledge, battles, collisions with stronger people, and an ever-expanding kingdom as a backing... these will all become the ladder for you to break the shackles of bloodline."

"With me, you can't become a red dragon or Blue Dragon, but I can let you see how high a pragmatic and sober White Dragon can reach, a height far beyond what you can achieve alone.

"With me, you will no longer be just"White Dragon Beskar", you will be me, the dragon under Garos·Ignas, to expand the territory for the Aura Kingdom, Legendary Realm Dragon that shocks all around, your name will be spread together with the glory of the kingdom, and you will enjoy the respect, Divine Authority and true respect that match it."

White Dragon was silent.

Red Iron Dragon Emperor's words pierced his soul and touched his heart.

Staying means surrendering and losing part of your freedom.

But what about leaving?

Go back to the cold past, guard the future that you can see at a glance, and repeat the fate of being despised by other powerful Dragon Race?

The other party saw through his weakness, but instead of just showing contempt, he saw his value and was willing to provide him with an unprecedented platform.

For Beskar, this feeling of being "seen", "recognized", and even "needed" is unprecedented.

The moment of silence seemed longer than the previous sleep.

Finally, White Dragon couldn't help but raised his head.

In a daze, he seemed to see Red Iron Dragon glowing all over, like a sun in front of him. The light was so dazzling and hot that it was difficult to look directly at and touch it, but it made him want to get close.

When he came back to his senses, he found that he had stretched out his paw and put it on the opponent's sharp claw.

Red Iron Dragon gave White Dragon a gentle tug, making White Dragon stand up from its crawling position.

Under the gaze of Red Iron Dragon, Beskar took a step back and lowered his body again.

He no longer prostrates, but adopts the posture of meeting the king, with his forelimbs bent and his head lowered in a respectful arc.

"The long sleep made me understand the preciousness of strength, and also made me tired of my own weakness."

"Great Emperor Ignas, I, Beskar, Frost Calamity... will follow your dragon wings, guard your territory for you, and tear apart powerful enemies for you!"

He said solemnly and solemnly.

Beskar has gone through more than eight hundred years of ups and downs, and is very thoughtful about reality. Not a few seductive words can completely deceive the innocent Hatchling Dragon.

He did not fully believe Red Iron Dragon's promise.

However, he also deeply understands the weight of opportunity.

Red Iron Dragon has no intention of killing him, and does not even pursue his offense.

You have nothing to lose by trying to join Aura Kingdom.

If you later find that the situation is different from what you expected, or that this kingdom is not an ideal place to live...

Unless Red Iron Dragon can keep an eye on him personally, who can easily stop a Legendary Realm Ancient Dragon who wants to leave?

He still has a way out.

Opposite, Red Iron Dragon Huang nodded slightly.

He may have a clear understanding of the calculations in White Dragon's mind, or he may not care.

For him, the most important thing is the result.

As long as Beskar stays, then he can't even think of escaping from his clutches. His Garos and Dragon Taming Art have been verified time and time again.

"Wise choice, Beskar."

He retracted his giant claws, and the black and red flames ignited on his body began to converge. The second ferocious dragon head and two extra arms slowly dissipated, turning into wisps of flames and returning to the main body.

He returned to his normal majestic posture, but his majesty was not diminished at all.

"Remember today's words, get up, from now on, you are Dragons of Aura."

Garos said to Beskar.

Since then, Aura Kingdom has officially added Dragonkin Legendary Realm.

Although White Dragon is weak, that is compared to other Dragonkin. A Legendary Realm White Dragon, no matter how weak it is, is still stronger than the vast majority of the Legendary Realm at the same level.

With this Legendary Realm Ancient Dragon here, Aura Kingdom will have more confidence to face the next war between nations.
