Chapter 176 Left Behind
Danger! Extreme danger!
In the instant she came to her senses, Leilia felt a terrifying electric current surge through her spine, her entire body shuddered violently, and her azure scales burst open like those of a startled cat.
Her wings flapped instinctively, sending out a powerful gust of wind as she began to frantically flee upwards.
From the moment she glimpsed the red dragon, Leilia knew she had no chance of winning. At that time, she still held onto a last glimmer of hope that she could try to negotiate.
But now even this last path has been completely blocked, leaving only the option of escape.
Intense fear spurred her to unleash her full potential, and in a flash, she burst out of the volcano, leaving a long hole in the thick smoke.
Nefarian, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the old bear-man outside, did not expect Leilia to come out so quickly. Just as he was about to ask her a question, her figure had already swept past him and rushed into the distance without looking back.
"Just as I thought, a cowardly cat. All blue creatures are cowards!"
Leilia's decisive escape surprised even Thor, who then couldn't help but roar in anger. The volcano beneath his feet seemed to echo his emotions, beginning to roar violently.
The magma surged and churned like boiling water, spewing towards the sky.
Large swaths of orange-red liquid were splashed across the sky, like a meteor shower, slowly falling.
A ferocious behemoth was bathed in a rain of fire, its broad wings flapping and sending up a series of explosions beneath its wing membranes.
The rising flames, like burning red clouds, accelerated his massive body, transforming him into a crimson, malevolent star that streaked across the sky.
The sudden loud noise made Nefarian stop fighting the flying bear and look up in the direction from which the noise came. He saw a ferocious red dragon charging towards him.
The terrifying aura instantly terrified him; even from his own father, he had never felt such pure destructive power. He hurriedly turned to avoid it, but he was too slow and was struck by Thor's casual claw as he passed by.
The terrifying force, mixed with dragon-attribute energy and extreme heat, instantly shattered the indigo scales on his body. His tough skin, compressed by the force, rippled like water, and his entire body fell uncontrollably.
boom-!!
He tumbled and crashed onto a low hill, kicking up clouds of dust.
Nefarik felt his bones groaning, a sharp pain shooting through his wings, and the area on his back where he had been struck was completely numb.
He twisted his long neck to look and saw a huge, charred palm print deeply embedded in the flesh. The muscle tissue that should have been elastic had all died and was soft and limp like mud.
The horrific injury immediately shocked him. While secretly relieved that he hadn't been hit in a vital spot, he couldn't help but feel lingering fear.
If that slap landed on his head, he even suspected he would die instantly.
What kind of monster did Lelia provoke to cause me to suffer such serious injuries? If I get the chance, I will definitely take my revenge.
However, this possibility is probably very small. Judging from the way the red dragon is chasing after her relentlessly, it is obviously angered. The little female dragon is probably doomed today.
I don't know if she'll be torn to pieces or pinned down and brutally abused.
Thinking of this, Nefalik felt a surge of intense jealousy and a faint sense of regret. He forced himself to get up from the ground despite the excruciating pain and decided to leave this place.
Just then, a soft golden light shone down from above. He looked up and saw a lithe and agile creature gazing at him with calm eyes.
Faster! Faster!!
Leilia flapped her wings desperately, not daring to stop even as the capillaries in her wing membranes burst due to the pressure and she felt a tearing pain in the muscles of her shoulder blades.
Even with such desperate efforts, the constant roaring sounds from behind never ceased; instead, they seemed like the footsteps of death, closing in inch by inch.
What kind of monster is this damned red dragon? Not only is its growth rate so rapid, but its magic power also seems inexhaustible, allowing it to squander it so recklessly.
Could he really be the divine child left behind by His Majesty Tiamat in the mortal realm?
Otherwise, with the abilities of Chiliel and that old good-for-nothing, how could they possibly have given birth to such a terrifying and exaggerated monster?
You see, the other two chicks that hatched from the same egg in his nest were still being carried around by her like little chicks—
In the claws.
Thinking of this, Leilia quickly looked down, afraid that she might accidentally kill the two little ones.
Although the red dragon has little familial affection, the monster behind it had been carrying these two blood relatives all along. Who knows if it truly doesn't care, or if it will become even more enraged because of this?
However, this act of lowering her head almost made her furious.
Sistana and Calp had heard the previous conversation clearly. Although they didn't understand why their adopted brother had become so powerful, it didn't stop them from acting arrogantly and taking advantage of his power.
"Damn old man! Release the great Sistana, the future Queen of Crimson Flame! Then offer up all the gold coins in your treasury!"
In that case, I might be able to plead with my beloved brother to spare your life!
"Not enough! Not enough! In addition to the gold coins, you must hand over all other property!"
Great Thor loves his dear brother the most, and if he knew you dared to mistreat me—”
The sharp, piercing sound made Leilia's forehead veins throb. She couldn't help but want to reach out and crush those two talkative fools with her claws, but she was always mindful of the red dragon behind her and dared not make a move.
In that brief moment of delay, Thor had already caught up with his continuous bursts of power. He looked at the blue dragon, which was not far ahead, and a sinister smile immediately appeared on his lips.
A large amount of magic surged from his basal blood vessels, mixed with dragon-attribute energy, and flowed into his throat. After being compressed and condensed layer by layer, it transformed into a dazzling light in his ferocious maw.
The next instant, a scorching beam of light, orange-red with a bluish tinge and covered with black and red lightning, shot out from Thor's mouth and flew toward Leilia in front of him with lightning speed.
High-speed flight had already consumed all of Leilia's attention, leaving her no time to notice the attack from behind. By the time she reacted, a scorching beam of light had already flashed past in front of her, cutting through large swathes of clouds.
Then a sharp pain shot through her back; nearly a third of her right wing and wing membrane had been severed. The wound was already charred by the intense heat, but her desperate flapping movements forced her blood pressure to break through the barrier, causing bright red dragon blood to splatter everywhere.
Although a significant portion of a dragon's flight relies on a special kind of magical ability, its wings still play an indispensable supporting role.
The loss of half a wing shattered this delicate balance, causing Leilia's body to flip uncontrollably to the side. She lost all sense of direction and spun around before crashing to the ground.
Thanks to her strong physique and quick reflexes in mid-air, she managed to avoid injury, but she felt no joy at all. Instead, she felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, her whole body turning ice-cold.
Right in front of her, a massive red dragon descended slowly, its flames billowing across the sky. The intense heat mixed with dust bloomed like a lotus flower.
His eyes, like molten gold, burned with a tangible flame, and his mouth split open, revealing a malicious smile.
"Poor little lizard, didn't you come looking for me? Now that you've found me, why are you running away again?"
