Chapter 792: Chapter 144 Broken Dragon Wings_2

“I will show you–” Cassius flapped his wings, taking to the skies above the Gold Dragon with his powerful mobility, then came rushing down with a roar: “What true strength is!”

The enormous body, over fifty meters long, came crushing down like a falling mountain, pouncing on the Ancient Gold Dragon that was only a little more than half his length and far lighter in weight.

“Boom!”

A fierce collision occurred high in the sky, and the strong airflow spread around, making space nearly shatter.

“Awooo!”

Accompanied by a mournful howl, the Gold Dragon was directly knocked away, spitting out blood, with broken scales scattering in mid-air, and even its flesh and bones inside seemed to be smashed into a mass.

Under the absolute difference in strength, even with its radiant Carving shining brightly, the Gold Dragon had no power to resist and could only allow the other to continue plunging it towards the ground.

The two giant dragons tangled in the air, plummeting toward the ground with increasing speed, even tearing through the air, emitting a piercing boom.

Finally, the air around their bodies ignited, causing fire to blaze on the surface of the Gold Dragon, making them look like gigantic meteors cutting through the sky, hurtling straight towards the ground.

The two giant dragons crashed to the ground, landing precisely on the most densely populated area of the Allied Forces’ stronghold!

“Is that, is that a meteor? No, it’s giant dragons! It’s giant dragons!”

“Gods above–”

“By Amanata, they’re coming this way!”

“It’s too late, we can’t escape, gods, is this the apocalypse?”

“No–”

Suddenly, the Allied Soldiers on the ground all looked up in unison, their bodies trembling, their dust-covered, weary faces filled with despair and fear.

The mountain-like vast dragon bodies grew larger and larger in their eyes until they occupied the entire field of vision.

For these fragile mortals, this was the apocalypse.

“Boom!”

The earth let out a thunderous wail, the whole Aisier Plain trembled with this acute pain, dust soared into the sky, and strong winds swept across the land, powerful shockwaves flung countless people into the air.

Thousands of Allied Soldiers were caught in this terrible Scourge, and even before the giant dragons impacted, they were crushed to a pulp by the intense wind pressure.

The airflow from the impact, cracks on the ground, and flying debris also resulted in tens of thousands of Allied Soldier deaths, and even Collins City far away experienced an earthquake, with houses collapsing and chaos within the city, heavy casualties took place.

Just this single impact resulted in countless lives lost, and this was merely the aftermath of the battle–the crushing power of different levels.

In front of the terrifying giant dragons, mortals were like ants.

A crater hundreds of meters wide and dozens of meters deep appeared on the land of Aisier, with cracks extending for kilometers around like an earthquake belt.

Accompanied by people’s exclamations and wails, the dust slowly dissipated, revealing the massive silhouette of a mountain, with the Red Dragon standing on top of the Gold Dragon, spreading its wings that blotted out the sun and letting out a roar: “Do you feel it, hypocritical Gold Dragon?

This is the gap in strength! You will never be able to defeat me, this isn’t about justice and evil, it’s simply because you are too weak!”

Suddenly, the Red Dragon showed a mocking smile, and said: “Well then, in consideration of you barely qualifying as a member of the same race, I’ll give you a chance, Gold Dragon. Submit to me, and I will spare your life, leaving you a place within the new order of the Ashen Empire.”

“But if you refuse…” The Red Dragon paused, glanced at its blood-stained claws with a menacing look: “Then I will have to send you to reunite with Walter!”

The Gold Dragon lay on the ground gasping for breath, its body covered in a mess of bloodstains, bones inside looking brutally deformed, even its wings were broken, and the Carving on its body faintly glowed a dim light.

But even so, the Gold Dragon raised its head with all its might, its golden eyes filled with determination, emitting a faint yet firm light.

“Today… even in death, I will not submit to you! Cassius, your end… is near!”

In the distance, countless gazes focused here, feeling sincere admiration for this Gold Dragon ally who vowed to fight to the death, never to surrender.

But, terrified by the immense strength of the Ashen Empire’s Emperor, not one of the tens of thousands of remaining Allied Soldiers dared to approach, let alone attempt a rescue — after all, it would be no different from delivering themselves to death.

“Lord Titus…”

“What a pity…”

“Yes, Lord Titus sacrificed his life for the cause of justice; he was a kind-hearted giant dragon.”

“Truly worthy of the title ‘Dawn Wings,’ even sacrificing his own life to bring forth the light for us…”

All they could do was to look at the Gold Dragon from a distance with eyes filled with pity and admiration, quietly sighing.

Fearing to draw the Red Dragon’s attention, they didn’t even dare to speak out loud.

“Utterly laughable!”

Cassius stepped on the back of the Gold Dragon, forcefully lifting his head to face the crowd: “Are these the people you wanted to protect? These cowards who don’t even have the courage to rescue you!”

“Is this what you call justice? Leaving oneself isolated and without support, and losing one’s life, what a joke!”

Hearing Cassius’s strong and clear words, the surrounding Allied Soldiers bowed their heads in shame.

Titus gave a bitter laugh: “I defend justice, not for… repayment, it’s simply… my duty as a Gold Dragon.”

Cassius burst into a furious laugh, single-handedly lifting the Gold Dragon from the ground: “Duty? Fine, then take your duty with you to death!”

Giant claws suddenly shot forth, carrying a strong gust, aiming straight for the heart of the Ancient Gold Dragon, about to tear out his beating heart.

“No!”

“Lord Titus!”

The onlookers cried out in shock, almost unable to bear watching what was to come next.

However, just then, the gemstone-encrusted pendant around the chest of the Gold Dragon emitted a silvery-white light, protecting his body and blocking the Red Dragon’s sharp claws.

[Platinum Sacred Heart]

The Gold Dragon fell weakly to the ground, yet through sheer willpower, using his broken limbs that had lost their form, propped up his body to forcefully stand.

Cassius tilted his head, whispering softly: “The favor of Bahamut? That nosy old fellow again, but… this is futile.”

The Red Dragon was about to advance when from the side a deep and urgent voice called out: “Hold, Your Majesty Cassius!”

The space next to Titus gradually warped, and from it emerged an even more massive and ancient Gold Dragon. He held a scepter in his hand, his face filled with dignity and wisdom, now showing urgency.

— This was none other than the Governor of the Golden Dragon Council, the Ancient Golden Dragon known as the “Gold-plated Sage,” Crassus, revered by the dragons of the Material Plane.

In an instant, both Cassius and the Titus under his control were overcome with ecstatic joy; Titus’s strategy of playing the victim had succeeded!

From now on, who would dare not consider Titus, the “Dragon of Dawn,” a vanguard against the Red Dragon?

This was an act witnessed by tens of thousands! And backed by a highly respected Ancient Golden Dragon!

Crassus gave a slight nod to Cassius, his voice heavy as he pleaded, “Your Majesty Cassius, our Golden Dragon Clan had no intent to participate in this conflict. I implore you to show mercy and spare the life of Titus.”

Meanwhile, high up in the sky, Balachiel had already closed his eyes, taking out an ornately decorated, thick Bible from the void, slowly opening it and silently reciting its ancient spells.

“In the name of Heaven…”

The silver horn tied at Balachiel’s waist floated in midair, emitting a melodious, mystical Heavenly Hymn.

With a solemn expression and a striking voice, akin to thunder echoing through the skies, Balachiel declared: “I grant you — the final Judgment!”
