Chapter 540 - 367: Silver Dragon: Just Enough, Just Enough!
The power contained in Galos’ claws transmitted through the shattered ice wall, numbing Adri’s arms. The powerful forelimbs emitted a subtle hum.
His body uncontrollably slid backward, plowing deep furrows into the thick ice covering the ground, with the ice crystals beneath his claws emitting a piercing cracking sound.
"Such terrifying power... It’s far beyond what a young dragon should possess."
In Adri’s heart, alarms rang wildly, and for the first time, a grave expression appeared in the dragon’s eyes.
The Silver Dragon clan is indeed not renowned for sheer power.
That is often compared to the frenzy of the Red Dragon.
But, in reality, as one of the strongest among Metal Dragons, the Silver Dragon’s power can absolutely not be underestimated.
Yet even so, he still found himself unable to face this young Red Iron Dragon head-on, forced backward with just one strike.
This sheer power suppression made him realize that Galos’ strength had far exceeded conventional understanding.
Galos, seizing the advantage, pressed on relentlessly.
With a sharp forward step, his heavy claws crushed the remnants of the ice wall to pieces, resounding with a deafening explosion. His massive body like a shadow pursued the Silver Dragon, who was flying into the sky to regroup.
Claws tore through the air, dragon wings whipped up a frenzied vortex, and a giant tail swept across like a steel whip.
The Red Iron Dragon’s entire body had turned into a deadly weapon.
His attacks were utterly unadorned, each strike simple and direct, yet containing overwhelming power, purely the charm of raw force.
Adri was forced into a dire close-quarters struggle.
His proud ice magic required sufficient casting space and chant timing, but Galos’ storm-like continuous attacks offered no respite.
The Silver Dragon could only rely on polished combat skills and instant casts of Ice Shield, Ice Armor, and Ice Spike for evasive defense, maneuvering in the confined space.
Shhh—!
Galos’ dragon tail, sharp like a giant blade, narrowly scraped past the Silver Dragon’s elegant flank, tearing the freshly condensed Ice Armor, sparking a streak of dazzling sparks, leaving a deep bleeding mark on the silver scales.
Bang!
Adri seized the fleeting opportunity, his ice-covered claws hammering fiercely into Galos’ chest, the biting frost energy rapidly spreading, but this strike, enough to cripple a regular Giant Dragon, only elicited an increasingly excited low roar and a swift violent counterattack.
The ice constantly shattered and refroze, the air filled with the steam of ice fragments and a pungent burnt odor.
The Silver Dragon’s body technique maintained its elegance and swiftness, with ice crystals under his control moving like living creatures, sometimes forming shields to block heavy hits, and other times condensing into sharp spikes for sudden attacks.
But none of these could truly repel Galos.
This Red Iron Dragon seemed unaware of pain and injury; no matter the attack, he only responded with even more frenzied aggression.
With each passing second, a new bloodstain appeared on the Silver Dragon’s flawless body.
Galos’ Cold Burst Scale gradually shattered and peeled away, exposing a deeper black-red scale armor underneath, densely littered with battle scar patterns that instilled fear.
Adri had long known Galos bore battle scars.
Yet seeing up close the nearly body-covering dense patterns still left him incredulous, their proliferation was staggering, unimaginable how many battles the Red Iron Dragon must have fought to forge these markings.
Bang!
Seizing the momentary distraction of Adri’s shock, Galos’ giant claw hammered down toward the Silver Dragon’s head!
This claw shattered three layers of instant-cast heavy Ice Shield, ultimately landing solidly on Adri’s cheek.
The Silver Dragon’s slender form was sent flying dozens of meters, shattered silver scales mixed with hot dragon blood splattering the air, leaving specks of crimson on the snow.
"I can’t... I can’t let this continue!"
Adri shook his slightly dizzy head, involuntarily gritting his teeth.
Feeling the burning pain emanating from his face, he finally realized he must use his true skills now, or risk an unexpected defeat in this sparring match.
Buzz——!
As the Red Iron Dragon roared and charged once more, intricate and mysterious runic glows suddenly illuminated the Silver Dragon’s body.
These runes inscribed on specific scales interconnected and combined, forming an all-encompassing pattern of array on much of his body in an instant.
Unlike Samantha who used alchemy to craft Amplification Heavy Armor.
Silver Dragon Adri took a different path, using Alchemist skills to refine part of his Dragon Scales into trigger-able one-time powerful magical items, their effects akin to Magic Scrolls, even more clandestine and swift.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
As one gleaming Dragon Scale after another shattered, the potent magic sealed within them simultaneously unleashed, transforming into torrents of lethal frost rushing toward Galos advancing forward!
Frost Ray tore through the sky, carried absolute cold temperatures;
Frost Touch entwined like a ghost, trying to freeze the blood;
Frost Nova erupted explosively, unleashing a fierce ice storm in mid-air.
Various powerful ice magic unleashed continuously, bombarded the mighty form of Galos, each containing extreme coldness, shaping a perilous ice magic domain in the high sky.
