New Calendar 344, spring, April 2nd.
Emerald Ridge Mountains, Noldon Pass, Dragonbreaker Pass.
The spring is cold and cold, the temperature in high-altitude areas hovers below the freezing point, and the clouds are low on the mountain ridges. Occasionally, fine snowflakes fall with the wind, shining like stardust in the dim light of Enchanted Wall.
Inside the pass, there is no silence as there should be in winter.
Heavy footsteps echoed in the stone passage. Soldiers ran in groups, carrying bundled crossbow arrows and alchemical gunpowder boxes. The winch made a creaking groan as it turned, slowly raising the huge defensive weapons.
The soldiers were in full swing, preparing for battle and defense.
Deep inside Dragonbreaker Pass, in a certain circular dome command hall.
A meeting that may determine the final direction of Two-Ao War is being prepared in silence.
In the center of the hall is a huge sand table that occupies the main space. It uses delicate Mana Sand and miniature models to reproduce the rugged terrain starting from Dragonbreaker Pass and radiating outward for nearly a hundred kilometers.
On the edge of the sand table, small Blue Dragon flags representing the Theo defenders were arranged closely on the wall.
In the plains and valleys of the northern foothills, a large number of red dots gather like a tide.
That's Aura Kingdom's legion.
The Magic Torch hanging on the wall is burning with flames and the light is steady, casting the four figures standing around the sand table on the ground, stretching them into a long and narrow shape.
The first place, Rodrigo·Crown.
The Theo Kingdom commander-in-chief still wears the deep Blue Dragon general's cloak.
His face looked much older than a few months ago, with bags under his eyes, and his chin and cheeks were covered with green-black stubble, but his eyes were still as sharp as a hawk locking its prey, staring closely at the red dots representing Aura Legion on the sand table, and engraved their every move into his mind.
The second place is [Unyielding Shield]Whitan Yat.
This dual-channel Legendary Realm strongman, just like his title, stands silently and firmly.
He has a tall and majestic body, and the heavy armor covering his whole body has no decoration at all. Only countless Defense Runes are faintly flowing under the armor, and his temperament is calm. Now, he is with this pass and is the ridge of the Theo defense line.
The third person is not a native of Theo.
She is less than 1.5 meters tall, but is extremely stocky. Her limbs are stubby and strong like weathered stone pillars. Her broad shoulders are almost as wide as her height. Most of her face is covered by a thick, knotted brown-red beard, and only a pair of bright brown eyes are exposed. Her gaze is sharp and aggressive.
This often leads to misunderstandings and makes people think of her as a male.
In fact, this is a female Dwarf, a warrior from the Cambrook Kingdom.
She was wearing a Black Iron Plate Armor inlaid with Mithril Pattern. Behind her was a Giant Double-Edged Battle Axe that was about the same height as her. The ax handle was dark and made of unknown material. The ax blade was wide, and there was a faint dark red sheen flowing around the blade, like the traces left by the life essence soaked into the metal after countless chopping and drinking blood.
Whether it is armor or a battle ax, they all exude an extraordinary feeling that only Legendary Equipment can possess.
[Unbreakable Breaker]Esther·Bronzebeard.
Among the Romanian States, Goblin Kingdom's Alchemy Golem Technology is second to none, and Dwarf Kingdom's equipment casting is unmatched. Most of the high-end equipment circulating in the plains countries are stamped with the Cambrook mark.
Esther is the best among Dwarf warriors, famous for his unparalleled defense skills and armor-breaking attacks.
She came here this time not only at the official invitation of Theo, but also because she has an old relationship with Percival.
Thirty years ago, the two of them worked together to hunt down a difficult ancient monster and formed a good personal relationship.
At this moment, Esther was holding his muscular arms, his stubby fingers tapping his arm armor impatiently, making a dull clanking sound.
She muttered in Common Tongue with a strong Dwarf guttural voice.
"Percival That kid hasn't finished yet? I didn't come all this way just to waste time staring at this sand model. Will Aura's brats wait until we finish drinking before climbing up to fight?"
No one paid attention to the rude words of female Dwarf.
The fourth one is also from abroad.
He wears a dark purple mage robe with dark gold patterns. The sleeves of the robe are wide, and the emblem of the Rybos Kingdom is finely embroidered with silver thread on the edge. His face is handsome, but his lines are slightly feminine, and his long hair is meticulously tied into a low ponytail behind his head.
He holds a Oak Staff in his hand, but the most eye-catching thing is the pendant hanging around his neck.
A dark red heart-shaped gemstone is tightly wrapped by a slender but tough silver chain.
[Many-Changer]Darrick, a Spellcaster who has studied Transmutation Magic to a profound level.
In Transmuter's worldview, matter and energy are not constant, but highly malleable. What they pursue throughout their lives is to understand and control the laws of this change.
Darrick is the leader in this way.
Because of his noble Spellcaster status and Advanced Legendary Realm status, although his rank is slightly lower, his actual status and influence among Romanian States exceeds Theo's [Fang of the Mountains]Percival.
Darrick's eyes stayed on the sand table, looking at it leisurely, with a relaxed posture.
Time passes in silence.
Afterwards, Legendary Realm strong men entered the hall one after another.
Among them were the three Theo Legendary Realm who had joined forces to fight against White Dragon Frostwing a few days ago; there were also companions who had rushed into the sky with Percival, trying to stop Red Emperor from seizing Heavenly Eye.
Finally, when everyone was almost there, the door to the hall was pushed open again.
A figure as tall as a javelin walked in with steady steps.
[Fang of the Mountains]Percival.
He still wore the light and practical leather armor, carried a long bow on his back, and carried a long sword at his waist. He was dressed more like a wilderness hunter who was about to go into danger, rather than participating in a strategic meeting to determine the fate of the country.
However, the aura exuding from him was the sharpest and most penetrating in the audience.
It was not an overbearing pressure, but a cold edge tempered from the wilderness and Bloodshed after countless life-and-death fights, like a dagger hidden in a sheath, just waiting to be unsheathed.
His eyes first quickly glanced at Esther and Darrick, grinning at the former with a brief but familiar smile, while maintaining a polite and slight nod at the latter.
Finally, his eyes fell on Rodrigo and Whitan Yat.
"Sorry, I'm late." Percival's voice was steady, without too many waves, "Aura Kingdom's Wyvern Scout Squad was found seventy miles outside the pass, so I cleaned it up and wasted some time."
"It doesn't matter."
Rodrigo showed no politeness and directly waved his hand and pointed at the sand table.
"Everyone is here, time is tight, let's get started."
He omitted all unnecessary preambles, got straight to the point, and pointed at the large area north of Dragonbreaker Pass on the sand table.
"In the past half month, Aura Kingdom has used its air superiority and large number of legions to complete the blockade of the northern channel of the Emerald Ridge Mountains."
"At the same time, Star-Splitting Hammer, Iron Will, Eye of Annihilation, Red Iron Cavalry... almost all the main legions of Aura that can be named, as well as those Monster Lord and their subordinates with different appearances who are attached to Red Emperor, are rapidly gathering in this direction."
His fingers moved along several main mountain roads on the sand table, pointing to an area directly north of the pass.
"The most critical information is that War Prince, Iron Dragon Sorog·Ignas of Aura moved his frontline headquarters here yesterday. It is almost on our outer cordon."
"Based on the legion's active trajectory and various signs during these times, Aura is preparing for a general attack on Noldon Pass."
"They won't play any tricks. They want to break open our Dragonbreaker Pass door from the front."
Esther Hearing this, he stroked his thick beard vigorously, and a militant light burst out from his brown eyes.
With a clang, she slammed the sheath of the giant ax behind her on the ground, causing the small model on the edge of the sand table to tremble slightly, and growled angrily, "A frontal attack? Ha! Just what I want! What I like best is the frontal attack!"
"Let those scaly bastards line up and have a taste of the finely forged ax blade of Dwarf! Let's see if their bones are stronger, or my ax is sharper!"
On the other side, Whitan Yat slowly raised his head, and a steady and thick voice came from under the gray-white heavy mask.
"The terrain of Noldon Pass is difficult, and one man is in charge of the pass. After many years of reinforcement, Magic Defense Array is complete and has sufficient energy reserves. Relying on the geographical location and cooperating with my field, although the number of enemy troops is large, the effective force that can attack the pass at the same time will be greatly limited."
"The passage is only that big. If they want to hit it, let them hit it."
"Every time they hit, their heads were broken and bloody."
Darrick had been listening with great interest, his fingers gently turning the crystal on the top of Oak Staff, and then he spoke gracefully, with a hint of ridicule in his voice. "The generals seem to be very confident."
"This is encouraging. However, please allow me to warn you."
"Not long ago, the Unbreakable Wall defense line on Ashen Plains was also considered impregnable, but what was the result?"
He paused and continued with a chuckle, "Red Emperor, Garos·Ignas from Aura, has the habit of turning what is seen as impossible into reality. For example, turning a Magic Satellite suspended in orbit into a falling meteor."
The atmosphere in the hall became slightly cold due to these words.
The tragic defeat of Ashen Plains and the fall of Heavenly Eye are scars that have not yet healed in the hearts of Theo soldiers.
Percival took a step forward at this moment and walked to the other side of the sand table.
His eyes swept across the blank area on the sand table that represented the possible location of Red Iron Dragon, and then landed on Dragonbreaker Pass.
"Darrick Your Excellency's reminder is not unreasonable."
Percival spoke, his voice still steady, "Because of this, we can't just think about defense. Blindly defending and passively being beaten will always be the thinking of prey, and hunters need to take the initiative to plan."
He took a small step forward, placed his hands on the edge of the sand table, and leaned forward slightly.
His posture is not like that of a general who is consulting military aircraft, but more like that of an experienced hunter who is carefully observing the footprints on the snow, analyzing the smell brought by the wind, and deducing the prey's habits and next move.
His eyes were no longer just sharp, but became deep and focused.
It's as if you can see more essential things through the miniature terrain on the sand table.
"I once tracked the cunning Winter Wolf in the Thorium Mountains's perpetual snowstorm, hunted the invisible Shadow Monster in the darkness of Mist Forest, and under the scorching sun in the wilderness, I fought with the red dragon and finally shot it down."
"And in these long Hunt careers, I learned the most important lesson."
He raised his head and said, "The more powerful and dangerous the prey, the more the key to hunting it is to use its own habits, its deep-rooted pride, and its unquestionable instinct."
"What we have to do is not to forcefully fight these, but to guide it and let it walk into the trap on its own."
After a pause, he continued, "Red Iron Dragon, Garos·Ignas, the Aura, is undoubtedly a ferocious beast, but at the same time, he is also a King Beast who has conquered countless powerful enemies, established a huge kingdom, and can even pull stars down from the sky."
When speaking, there was no contempt in Percival's voice.
On the contrary, there is a strange respect in it.
That's respect for powerful prey.
"Beast like this has a deep-rooted dominance instinct and a desire to declare power in the most direct way."
"He took Heavenly Eye by force to tell us, "I can take off the eyes you rely on at will"; he was preparing to take Dragonbreaker Pass by force, also to tell us, "I will crush your last pride from the front."
"This is a habit Beast cannot change."
"Just like the alpha wolf of a pack will personally bite his strongest opponent, Lion King will stand on the highest rock and roar in demonstration."
"Red Iron Dragon will definitely appear at the forefront, and will definitely take action at the critical moment to launch an attack on the pass."
Rodrigo turned his head and looked deeply at Percival. He did not speak immediately, but his tight jawline and slightly contracted pupils showed that he was weighing this judgment.
Seeing that the commander-in-chief did not interrupt, Percival continued to explain his plan.
"So, what we have to do is not to prevent him from attacking, but to guide him to attack at the time and place he chooses, and in the way we preset."
"The first step is to lay out the bait and build up momentum."
His finger pointed at the defensive line outside the pass.
"In the early stages of the battle, we must show tenacious resistance, but also show signs of inadequacy, so that Aura Legion will have a strong illusion that "if we push harder, we can break through." We must let their desire to attack, the bloodiness of the soldiers, and the emperor's expectations be aroused little by little, and gradually reach their peak."
"The second step is to create loopholes to attract their attention."
Percival's finger moved towards the thickest and strongest section of Dragonbreaker Pass's main city wall on the sand table.
"Whitan Yat, I need you here to create a flaw with your own hands. It is not a real weakness, but an omission that appears to have been structurally damaged due to the continuous onslaught of the enemy's main force. This illusion must be realistic enough to fool Aura Army Warlock's various detection spells, and it must be able to fool Red Iron Dragon's eyes."
Whitan Yat said without changing his expression, "I can do it."
Percival nodded, his eyes becoming sharp again.
"The third step is to ask you to enter the urn and close the door to trap the dragon!"
"When Red Iron Dragon confirms the real existence of the flaw through his own eyes, and when he determines that this is an excellent opportunity to deliver a fatal blow and completely destroy the morale of the pass, he will come, dominate the battlefield, and attack the flaw himself."
As he spoke, Percival opened his five fingers, and then suddenly closed them, as if he had grasped the neck of an invisible giant beast out of thin air.
"And the moment he stepped into that area, the dragon body hit or passed through the gap."
"Whitan Yat, you need to reverse the realm. At that moment, switch all the forces connected between you and Mountain Range from external defense to internal blockade, and use Oath of Watchfulness to completely trap Red Iron Dragon within the wall! Let the entire pass temporarily form a cage that isolates the inside and outside, leaving him alone and helpless in a short period of time!"
Esther Hearing this, his thick beard trembled with excitement.
"Close the door! Fight the dragon! Okay! Just do it! It's easier to let him in than to get out!"
Darrick also put away the smile on his face, and his expression became serious and thoughtful.
He rubbed his chin, thoughtfully. "Before Dragonbreaker Pass was defeated, the Aura army outside could only stare blankly, while Red Emperor inside could not get support from its legion. It was indeed the most ideal hunting environment."
Percival continues to improve his Hunt plan.
"Dragonbreaker Pass is closed and the hunting begins when the cage is formed."
"At that time, everyone who is ambushing on the side must rise up at the same time and surround Red Iron Dragon with all their strength. Our goal is clear and we must keep him completely at all costs."
Hearing this, Whitan Yat raised a key question.
"According to the information you brought back before, Red Emperor used the Legendary Realm item "Ring of Desperation" that our Theo lost during the civil war during the space interception war, as well as another unknown powerful item, trapping the four of you Legendary Realm in one fell swoop."
"Is it possible that he will do it again this time?"
"If we are also trapped by the division, the plan will immediately go bankrupt and may even be counterattacked by him."
Percival shook his head and said with certainty, "I will not make the same mistake a third time."
"The first time, I was a little anxious and gave priority to killing the Heroic Spirit it summoned, thus escaping from that space."
"The second time, I calmed down, ignored Heroic Spirit's entanglement, concentrated my strength and directly attacked the space barrier formed by Ring of Desperation, and successfully caused a large number of gaps. That level of damage cannot be repaired in the short term."
"Therefore, Ring of Desperation is now basically unusable."
"At least, it is impossible to trap as many Legendary Realms as before. I can confirm this."
After explaining this potential variable, Percival took off the simple long bow behind his back.
He did not pull the string, but lightly brushed the seemingly translucent bowstring with his fingers, his eyes flashing with the excitement of a hunter locking onto a powerful prey.
"And the last step is done by me."
"The moment Red Iron Dragon is disturbed, restrained, and exposed, I will seize the opportunity, give him a fatal blow, and use my arrow to complete this... final Hunt against King Beast."
Percival said, his voice becoming high-spirited and fiery, completely different from his usual calmness.
Luring the enemy deep, showing weakness and arrogance, setting up a trap, trapping the beast in a cage, interfering with many parties, working together to contain it, and finally delivering the final blow.
Percival's plans are intertwined, but in essence, they are not like directing a large-scale war, but more like arranging a dangerous attack against ferocious beasts Hunt.
He is using the entire Dragonbreaker Pass as bait to set up a trap Hunt Red Emperor.
This is undoubtedly a big gamble, and it is bound to pay a heavy price.
Even if the plan is successful, when Red Emperor breaks through and is entangled by the Legendary Realm's strong men, its destructive power is beyond the capabilities of ordinary defenses.
Those breaths of dragon flames, pure power impacts, and even the aftermath of the collision of the Legendary Realm.
All will cause devastating disasters within the wall.
Ordinary soldiers guarding the border will be as fragile as grass in a battle at this level, and the number of casualties must be shocking.
However, as long as Hunt can succeed and kill Aura Kingdom's emperor, then all the sacrifices and costs will be worth it, because they will achieve the final victory.
In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Rodrigo Crown.
The commander-in-chief of the Theo Legion is not a strong Legendary Realm, and he experienced a tragic defeat at Ashen Plains not long ago.
However, the Legendary Realms present did not underestimate his opinion.
Legendary Realm does not represent omnipotence. The Legendary Realm strong men of various countries often focus on tempering their own strength and exploring their own paths. For the overall planning and dispatch of large-scale legions, the macro grasp of complex battle situations, and the risk of using the entire pass as a chess piece, they need to rely on experienced commanders like Rodrigo to weigh and make decisions.
Rodrigo listened in silence.
His eyes moved slowly on the sand table, on Percival, on all of you Legendary Realm, and on the faces of the two foreign players.
After a long time, he spoke slowly.
"The idea of the plan is feasible, but the specific details must be adjusted to increase the success rate and reduce uncontrollable risks."
Rodrigo stretched out his right arm, brushed his sleeve over the edge of the sand table, and pointed his fingers on several key positions representing the main wall of Dragonbreaker Pass.
"First, regarding flaws, there cannot be only one flaw, and it must not be an illusion."
"Red Emperor Garos·Ignas, we have learned bloody lessons from its ability in insight and perception. We must never take chances anymore. We need to take some risks to create real flaws in multiple defense areas. We need to make signs of defeat appear in different areas one after another, giving him a sense of unmissable opportunity and making him believe that it is a real defensive loophole, not a trap.."
"Second, the timing of the expansion of the field."
He turned to Whitan Yat, who looked like a cast-iron statue, with a serious tone.
"It must be activated after at least two-thirds of Red Iron Dragon's body enters the trap area. He is not a savage dragon, but rather scheming, cautious and patient. If it is too early, he will be alert and retreat; if it is too late, he may escape with one strike."
"This timing is up to you to judge based on your intuition on the battlefield. I will not control it."
"Third, external defense."
"When we successfully introduce Red Emperor into the pass and start hunting, the Aura Legion outside will inevitably fall into madness. Rescuing their emperor will be the only goal of all Aura soldiers and generals. By then, the intensity of the attack will be far beyond normal. In addition, the intervention of the Aura allies cannot be ruled out."
"The overall external defense of the pass must not be relaxed at all because of the ongoing Legendary Realm battle internally. Instead, it needs to be extremely energetic to withstand the craziest external impact."
"Otherwise, once the outer wall is broken, the hunting environment will no longer exist, and all plans will be empty talk."
"The fourth and most important point is."
Rodrigo finally set his sights firmly on Percival, "Percival, your arrows are the primary task in the hunt. They should be used to severely injure and involve Red Emperor, weaken their ability to move and counterattack, and create opportunities for other companions. They should not be obsessed with pursuing a one-hit kill."
"We still don't know what kind of trump card or special characteristics Red Emperor hides."
"What kind of support can enable a monarch like him, who is not a reckless person, to repeatedly choose the seemingly risky method of conducting military expeditions in person?"
"When there are gaps in intelligence, we must act steadily and not take chances."
"Shoot his eyes to deprive him of his vision; shoot his throat to interfere with his breath and roar; shoot the key nodes of his Dragon Qi operation to disrupt his rhythm."
"What we want is not a gorgeous solo kill, but to ensure that he dies under our encirclement and suppression, no matter which method is used.
Hearing this, Percival narrowed his eyes slightly.
He habitually rubbed the arms of the bow with his fingers and shook his head slowly.
"General Rodrigo, are you... overestimating the complexity of a Beast?"
He said, "Beast is Beast. Just because it wears the emperor's cloak and creates the illusion of wisdom and depth, it will not change its instinct to plunder, conquer, and demonstrate power."
"In my opinion, all the actions of Red Iron Dragon just prove the pride and arrogance in his heart."
"Such a character is far from being cautious."
"You think too much."
Rodrigo's face instantly became extremely solemn.
He didn't flinch and looked directly into Legendary Fate Hunter's sharp eyes.
"Percival, do you think that Red Emperor, who can rise like a comet in a hundred years and establish a country as Evil Dragon, has the support of the Dragon Realm, has the support of Lothern, and can unite the people of his kingdom, will he be a fool-proof dragon?"
"Whether he is cruel, violent, or arrogant, these are all his disguises to confuse his enemies."
"Under Red Emperor's scales, I saw a calm and cold heart."
"He is not an opponent that can be underestimated and cannot be taken too seriously."
Percival There was a flash of confusion in his eyes, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Rodrigo said no more, he straightened up, pressed his arms on the sand table, and his body was as straight as a javelin.
"Everyone, this battle is about the destiny of the country."
"What we are planning here is no longer just a victory in a pass attack and defense battle, but an end to the war that has swept the two countries!"
"If Red Emperor falls here, Aura Kingdom will instantly lose its only and irreplaceable king."
"At that time, the lords of various races, those monster tribes, and even the giant dragons who have lost the emperor's suppression will immediately begin to fight for Divine Authority and separate themselves. The powerful Aura Kingdom will begin to collapse from the inside and collapse without attack!"
He looked around at everyone and explained, "This is different from the human kingdom."
"A king has died in the human kingdom. As long as the royal family's heritage remains and Legendary Realm's powerful people support it, a new king will be elected soon. The ruling structure will not be easily shaken, but Aura Kingdom is a behemoth built entirely around the authority of Red Emperor."
"This gives it terrifying cohesion and mobility, but at a very serious cost."
"Once the highest pillar collapses, the entire building will collapse."
Rodrigo's eyes were like reality, scanning every face present.
"On the other hand, if our plan fails and Dragonbreaker Pass is attacked from the front by Red Emperor... then Emerald Ridge Mountains's natural danger will be lost, and Theo's hinterland will be completely exposed to Aura Under Iron Hoof, morale will completely collapse, Two-Ao War's balance will be completely tilted, and the war will end with the Aura Kingdom's victory."
"So, we have no right to fail and no way out."
"This battle..."
He took a deep breath and said word by word, "You can only win! You can't lose!"
New Calendar 344, spring, April 7th.
North of the Emerald Ridge Mountains, Rolling Stone Valley.
This place is located behind the Aura army assembly area, with rugged rocks and uneven terrain.
"Aura must win! Theo must lose!"
A roar shook the air of the valley, with unabashed pride and wildness.
"Because, in addition to the great and invincible Emperor, I, Mr. Kalu, have finally become Legendary Realm! Hahahaha!"
Glutton Demon Kalu raised his head, grinned his big mouth that almost reached his ears, and let out a deafening laugh.
Compared with before, his dragon-like characteristics became more obvious.
The two curved dragon horns on the forehead became thick and majestic, and the cuticles shone with a metallic luster, pointing straight to the sky.
Thick and hard dark red scales covered almost every inch of skin on the body.
The most eye-catching thing is the pair of broad and huge dragon wings spread out behind him.
The wing membrane is tough, the frame is strong, and the wing surface is covered with bright red veins like flowing lava. Even if it is still, it exudes a burning breath.
But what's even more special is that in the gaps and surfaces of his dark red scales, there are faint lines of blood flowing.
These lines change in light and shade with his breathing, faintly resonating with his heartbeat.
Phew--!
Glutton Demon took a deep breath.
The surrounding air seemed to be pulled apart, making a slight neighing sound.
The next moment, solid red flames burst out from every line on his body surface, instantly covering his burly mountain-like body.
Under the cover of this Bloodflame, his body began to expand astonishingly, and the muscles became tangled like steel cables.
[Beneath the Dragon Throne]
--You are loyal to your Dragon Lord. You are his extended scales and minions, and therefore, you can share the afterglow of his power.
Through this characteristic brought about by loyalty and connection, Kalu has obtained the qualification to draw part of Red Emperor's power.
What he is showing at this moment is Bloodburst State.
In the future, as his Legendary Realm level increases and the characteristics of "Beneath the Dragon Throne" are further explored and strengthened, he may be able to show more power.
After trying the effect of Bloodburst State for a while.
Kalu stopped and started eating again. His stomach and intestines were like a bottomless pit, and he could eat a huge amount of food in a very short time.
[Big Eater]
--You have an almost endless appetite, as well as a terrifying digestion and energy conversion system.
This is a trait deeply embedded in his Glutton Demon nature.
Now, he can accumulate massive amounts of energy more quickly, and he can store this energy with higher efficiency and use it to display his own Gluttony State.
It is a state of eating and saving on daily basis, and then exploding all the stored energy at a critical moment in exchange for explosive power.
While Kalu was eating frantically, he looked at the outline of the Emerald Ridge Mountains, baring his teeth, and sparks splashed out from the gaps between his scales.
"Dragonbreaker Pass... hehe... just wait..."
