Two Chrome Dragon rushed out of the depression one after the other, crushing rotten wood with heavy footsteps, and ran eastward at full speed along the relatively hard soil ridge.

Afterglow intercepts at high altitude, mobilizes magic power, fire plumes, flames and burning wind blades fall one after another, carrying out a saturation attack on the target.

The steel-gray figure leapt between the swamp and dead trees at high speed, fire plumes exploded one after another, the muddy water was steamed into white mist by the high temperature, and the swamp ground was soon covered with burning holes.

"Boom!"

A raging wind blade wrapped in flames exploded at Kazes's feet. The scorching shock wave tilted his body, and half of his body almost fell into the quagmire.

"Where did this spellcaster come from?"

Kazes felt the heat wave coming towards his face and was extremely surprised. "Is she also Hatchling Dragon?"

"Afterglow... I remembered, it was the Feather Dragon that tied Hidorivi."

Nili replied, his scales were faintly red under the high temperature, but his expression was stern, and his four feet were as smooth as walking on the ground in the mire.

As Chrome Dragon, his speed and reaction are top-notch among Hatchling Dragon. He has used extreme jumps several times to shuttle through the gaps in the fire net.

"Last warning."

Afterglow above said, "If you refuse to listen, I will burn your limbs and take you back."

"If this continues, we will be killed by her."

Kazes said that Feather Dragon was right above their heads, and the advantage of attacking from the air to the ground was too great, and the opponent did not spare any effort. Just being hit by the rushing flames, his entire membrane wing was scorched.

"Then I also warn you, Lesser Dragon, Cobalt Dragon can't stop us, and neither can you."

Nili said, "There is no hatred between us. If you get out of the way now, I will not attack you."

Afterglow did not answer, but recited the obscure Dragon Language in a low voice. As she chanted, the fire elements in the air suddenly gathered, and dozens of red lines of fire intertwined around her, like a huge spider web.

"Wildfire Across the Plains."

This is the move she once used on Ferrum, but the two Chrome Dragon kept running away, and Afterglow had no time to set up, so the effect was slightly reduced.

"Damn."

Kazes cursed loudly.

Nili suddenly stopped and stepped on a deep hole in the mud. Facing the overwhelming prairie fire that fell from the sky, he refused to dodge and held his head high and exhaled.

Chrome Dragon spits out a rolling cold current, and the white cold fog rushes up against the fire network. The violent collision of red and white stimulates a large amount of steam, the swamp turns into hard frozen soil, and the dry Devils trees are also covered with layers of hoarfrost.

As cold-type dragons, Chrome Dragon and fire-type dragons originally restrained each other, and they were not afraid of Feather Dragon's flames.

Afterglow was suddenly startled, then remembered that when Ferrum was fighting her, he didn't even use his breath. God knows how much water that guy put out.

"I've endured this for too long."

Nili was breathing deeply, and a gray-white cold light lit up in the gaps between the scales, spreading along the blood vessels and bones, spreading from the chest and abdomen to the neck, wings and forehead.

One night during the Dragon Hatchling period, Nili awakened his abilities. His abilities are "Dulling" and "Activation". He can change his chromium body to deal with different combat situations.

At this moment, Nili completely Activation his body, cold flames spurted out from between the scales, and when stimulated by the swamp moisture, he immediately made a dense hissing sound.

"Supreme Scattered Fire Sets the Plains Ablaze's gift was obtained by the powerful ones among the dragons, but it also appeared in me!"

Nili's pupils lit up, the membrane wings expanded for several minutes at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the claw toes turned orange-yellow, not only sharp, but also accompanied by strong toxicity.

He has never challenged the powerful among the dragons, but if he really had to fight to the death with them, Nili didn't think he would lose.

Afterglow's expression changed.

At the moment when she was distracted, Kazes suddenly tore apart a dead giant tree, and the whole old tree whined and howled, toppling in the direction of Afterglow.

Feather Dragon immediately flapped its wings and rose.

At the same time, Nili also started to move. He and Kazes are brothers and get along day and night. Needless to say, there is a tacit understanding between them.

Nili stepped on the fallen tree trunk and ran upwards. The trunk kept going downwards, and the branches cracked and broke. Nili's speed became faster and faster, until the tree crown reached the highest point, he suddenly jumped up.

Nili The wings flapped, and gray-white cold flames spurted out from behind the wing roots, straight into the air, and shot straight into the sky like steel arrows off the string.

"Another Scattered Fire Sets the Plains Ablaze."

Afterglow looked down, four wings spread out at the same time, flames lit up inch by inch along the feather veins, and in the blink of an eye, she was wrapped into a dazzling red sun.

Nili came quickly and urgently, not giving Afterglow the distance to cast the spell calmly. When he jumped up, he had already gathered his body into a long and narrow front line, with the claw blade attached to his chest, and went straight for Feather Dragon's throat.

Afterglow is not afraid. She is born to fly and has been practicing aerial combat skills since she was a child. She does not think that Heavy-Metal Dragon can beat her in aerial combat.

Feather Dragon suddenly folded his left wings, twisted his body in mid-air, and tumbled against Nili's claw blade.

The moment the two dragons passed each other, Afterglow's right long wing cut across like a burning blade, and the flames passed by Nili's shoulders and back.

Wingblade Strike.

The wing blade collided with the metal scales, causing a sharp explosion.

"Roar!"

Nili had a bone-deep wound on his shoulder. He roared back, whipped his tail back, and stabbed Afterglow's wing root that had not yet been retracted.

Afterglow flapped its lowermost wings outwards, and the strong wind exploded. The bone awl passed by against the long red feathers, only cutting off a few burning feathers.

She was tumbling upwards with the help of the wind, her body was as light as if it were being held by flames, her four wings were stretched out one after another, and she was back on high ground in the blink of an eye.

Nili's momentum began to fail.

Heavy-Metal Dragon's body is too heavy. Even if he is pushed by cold flames, he cannot stay in the air for as long as Feather Dragon.

At the same time, Afterglow has completed casting.

"Raging Wind Turns to Rain."

Countless fire feathers shot out from her side, elongated in the wind in a blink of an eye, and turned into a dense and sharp rain of red blades.

Nili had nowhere to borrow power in the air. He slashed continuously with his claw blade, shattering several oncoming fire blades. However, he couldn't resist it at all and was shot down by more fire blades.

Afterglow wings folded and dived.

She was not prepared to give Nili a chance to catch her breath when she landed. She folded her four wings close to her body and swooped down from a high altitude, her sharp claws reaching for Nili's neck.

Nili fell to the ground, turned over suddenly, and saw Feather Dragon coming towards him.

"You underestimate Heavy-Metal Dragon."

Nili smiled coldly. In Activation state, his breath ability was greatly strengthened, and he breathed out a surging cold wave again.

Afterglow's vision was obscured by the cold current, and he instinctively dodged to the side.

Nili returned to the ground where he was good at, and his speed was even faster. He instantly pulled closer to the side of Afterglow, bent his knees, flicked his tail suddenly, and slapped Feather Dragon on the back.

Feather Dragon was knocked backwards by the heavy force and rolled two times in the air before regaining his balance.

"You have such power, why would you defect?"

Afterglow looked at the two Chrome Dragons rushing towards each other from the left and right. "I'm helping you. Come back to Red Fort with me now for trial. It's not too late."

"We've all come this far."

Nili roared angrily, clawing and tearing. "No one can block our way!"

Afterglow stood there and took a deep breath. "With two against one, do you really think I have no help?"

The sound of tree branches falling was heard from behind, and a figure passed through the swamp at high speed. Wherever it passed, thorns, rotten wood and rocks broke one after another.

Nili did not hesitate, the claw edge was like a cross-cutting sword.

The sword lights crisscrossed in front of Afterglow, making a sharp sound of gold and iron. Nili felt an irresistible force coming along the claw arm, and his body lost balance and was immediately knocked away.

He and Kazes fell into the quagmire at the same time, and their expressions changed dramatically.

To attack so quickly and cut so sharply, among Heavy-Metal Dragon, only their kin can do it.

Nili raised his head and saw a dragon shape that he never wanted to see.

Ferrum.

Ferrum stood in front of Afterglow, his scales soaked by the rain. He looked at the two Chrome Dragon quietly. His right claw turned into a special-shaped bone blade, and the blood of Nili remained on the blade.

Kazes roared desperately and wanted to attack, but was angrily scolded by Nili and held him down.

"Don't do it, Ferrum."

Nili breathed heavily, looked at the figure in front of him, and whispered, "I don't know what you are here for, but Nether Iron give it to you, let us go."
