Chapter 208: Bond.
“Roar!!!”
A sharp call echoes through the sky. How could a monster enter such a fury without injury, aside from the two dragons locked in mortal combat?
Because it was ignored.
Ice Curse Dragon roars in rage repeatedly, yet neither her breath weapon nor ice spears manage to affect the two dragons entangled in battle; they melt before reaching them.
She dives from high altitude, only to be met by Flame King Dragon’s intense heat, causing her great discomfort.
Concentration is key! The Flame King’s fiery domain, once confined by her frost, now contracts inward, forming a furnace-like environment. The ground’s rocks have been baked into molten lava.
Upon entering Flame King Dragon’s field, her icy aura vanishes entirely. Her own domain shrinks drastically, barely maintaining her icy armor.
This enrages Ice Curse Dragon further. She dances alone, her sharp tail piercing through Extinction Dragon’s softened scales with ease.
“Hmmph!”
The perfect backstab shakes Jié Jié. He throws her tail out of his body and forcefully uses Flame King Dragon as a shield, dragging him across the ground to block for himself.
As expected, the enraged Ice Curse Dragon doesn’t care who’s in front of her. After her pirouette, her tail strikes Flame King Dragon’s shoulder directly.
But compared to Jié Jié’s softened scales, Flame King Dragon’s shell remains hard.
Ice Curse Dragon merely pierces through his outer armor, drawing no blood while her tail begins melting under the scorching flames.
With great effort, Jié Jié pushes Flame King Dragon toward Ice Curse Dragon and leaps aside, panting.
Hell Flares burn fiercely on the melted lava all around, leaving nowhere safe to land. His lungs ache from inhaling the searing air, feeling scorched.
Yet amidst this excruciating pain, he feels an endless surge of strength. He doesn’t want to stop!
Seeing Flame King Dragon struggle against Ice Curse Dragon’s agile flight techniques, Jié Jié re-joins the fray, ready to double-team him.
You used Hell Flare, so don’t blame us for being dishonorable!
But just as he joins, he gets double-teamed instead.
An explosion of dust engulfs all three dragons, but due to his converted scales, the damage dealt to him is highest.
Staggering back, he also suffers another spin attack from Ice Curse Dragon.
Fine, I’ll retreat. Let you two fight while I profit…
But Flame King Dragon charges at Jié Jié during Ice Curse Dragon’s attack gap, while she continues chasing Flame King Dragon.
I hit you, you hit her, she hits him—it’s chaos!
Flame King Dragon’s flares and large-scale dust explosions show that he’s been fighting both all along!
Ice Curse Dragon gradually realizes this too and finally aligns with Jié Jié, prioritizing Flame King Dragon as their main target.
It’s not really teamwork; Jié Jié has simply understood her attack patterns.
Whoever’s closest or within sight becomes the target.
Still, one must admit—despite her madness, Ice Curse Dragon’s slender form makes her spinning tail attacks graceful, akin to a dance.
That is, unless it’s aimed at you.
As the battle intensifies, Jié Jié’s new black thorns and scales grow harder.
Fueled by effective predation on Flame King Dragon, he fights ever more fiercely, never stopping.
He takes the most damage but deals the most as well, always aiming for vital areas.
The dying sun begins its descent first, and Ice Curse Dragon’s ice armor melts under its glare, revealing her radiant, multi-colored body beneath.
Beautifully scarred.
Her sharp tail follows her keen gaze, striking swiftly. Jié Jié dodges, then pounces, grabbing her side abdomen and hurling her down. A punch lands on her stomach.
“Ugh!”
Lying on the ground, Ice Curse Dragon raises her head to counter with crystalline breath, but only cooling liquid lands on him.
Without Flame King Dragon’s fire zone, Ice Curse Dragon wouldn’t be this easy to handle.
Battling through Flame King Dragon’s burning blasts, Jié Jié bites onto her tail, using her like a weapon to swing and smash into Flame King Dragon.
Like a blade, she’s swung towards the master of Karma Fire.
Her screams of agony soon cease when she collides with Flame King Dragon’s head, interrupting his breath weapon.
Her weight is perfect—long and elegant enough to wield effectively without being too light to cause minimal harm.
After the initial strike, Jié Jié doesn’t let go, continuing to spin her in the opposite direction, delivering another powerful blow to Flame King Dragon.
This is our blood-boiling combo technique!
The dying sun stumbles back, breathing heavily. The dust left behind is swept away by Jié Jié’s swinging of Ice Curse Dragon.
“ROAR!!!”
However, continuous swinging loosens some of Jié Jié’s teeth, thanks to friction with her uneven tail armor. She struggles, flapping her wings, eventually pulling free from his mouth, taking a few teeth with her.
Ice Curse Dragon flies into the sky, roaring in anger. Cooling water sprays out, freezing on her surface, reshaping her beautiful icy armor.
Beautiful, but Jié Jié doesn’t linger, charging straight at the weary Flame King Dragon.
The dying sun meets Extinction Dragon’s gaze, turning around. Claws ablaze with fierce flames clash, leaving fresh scars on each other’s bodies.
Their entanglement doesn’t last long. Ice Curse Dragon, having restored her armor, dives again, her rage sending Jié Jié flying, tangling with her.
Flame King Dragon, freed from the struggle, breathes heavily, dragon blood rolling from wounds all over his body.
His final burst of energy has ended.
Tragic—he didn’t even get a one-on-one chance with his rival.
But…he did take on two!
His broken wings flap, the color of Hell Flare turning bluer and purpler.
Is she lifting him up? Until the end of life, does he still need her help?
Old Flame King Dragon isn’t ashamed, ascending into the sky supported by his partner’s warm winds.
Until the very end.
We fight two against two!
Purple Hell Flares cling to his body, familiar pain from his mate.
Blue-violet firelight combines with blazing red, gathering all the dust!
Finally—
Releasing the last light from Flame King Dragon’s body.
Raging flames obliterate the clouds and flatten the earth.
A true calamity, blooming at the fall of ancient dragons.
