A Dragon against the Whole World

Under the howling, low-hanging sky of wind and snow, Silver Dragon Adri and Red Copper Dragon Selena circled several times over Dragon Valley before gracefully folding their wide wings and slowly descending to the edge of the valley’s training ground.

"Father, Mother."

Deborah walked up with a brisk stride, touching the face armor of her parents in succession.

This kind of greeting, in Dragon Race society, symbolizes intimacy.

"Lord Adri, Lady Selena, good evening."

Galos took a deep breath of the icy air, suppressing the turbulent irritation stirred by the inner blaze, nodding slightly in greeting.

His voice was deeper and huskier than usual, as if molten lava was stuck in his throat.

Silver Dragon Adri’s eyes focused entirely on the young Red Iron Dragon before him, the close scrutiny stirring waves in his heart.

After a period of slumber and breaking through life levels.

At this moment, Galos, from his majestic dragon head to his robust dragon tail, had reached a length of over twenty-three meters.

Although still a bit shorter compared to the Silver Dragon, the astounding muscle dimensions and formidable, fierce body structure made the overall visual impact completely surpass Adri.

Thick, hard scales, dangerous wings, a gun-blade-like dragon tail.

......Every part of the body exuded sharpness, startling the Dragon Heart.

If other Metal Dragons who were unaware first encountered Galos, they might directly judge him as a malign dragon due to his fierce and violent appearance.

Either deeming him so terrifyingly impossible to keep, crying to attack and kill.

Or thinking this dragon is menacing, hard to provoke, calling friends to attack and kill.

Silver Dragon’s sharp gaze finally fixed on Galos’s face.

"This young cub, besides his size, seems somewhat different."

The silver dragon’s gaze finally fell on Galos’s eyes, feeling he was different in some other way. Because of their limited interaction, he couldn’t distinguish precisely what it was, just having a vague sense of it.

At the same time.

The silver dragon also noticed the bloodshot eyes of Galos, like cobwebs wrapped around his pupils.

Judging by common sense, this usually indicates excessive mental exhaustion and lack of adequate rest, meaning his performance would likely be significantly compromised.

"Good, this way I can be more at ease in the upcoming sparring."

The silver dragon’s heart stirred slightly, maintaining an unchanged elegant expression.

He wasn’t in a hurry to bring up the sparring idea he had been brewing, instead turning his gaze toward his precious daughter.

"Deborah, when do you plan to set out back to Red Maple Territory? Are you planning to stay in Dragon Valley until the coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Don’t forget, this is ultimately not your lair, not your home."

The silver dragon said with a stern face.

"Oh, since Galos has awakened peacefully, I’m planning to visit you in the next few days."

The Red Silver Dragon replied with a merry laugh, then shifted the topic: "However, the most comfortable room in Burning Steel Castle is always reserved for me, it’s spacious, bright, and the view is excellent."

"Galos promised personally that as long as I wish, he can always host me there."

Hearing Deborah’s bell-like, delightful laughter, the silver dragon remained silent for three whole seconds, the air around him frosting over due to his emotions, the temperature plummeting.

"Is that so?"

He turned to the Red Iron Dragon, asking coldly.

"Yes, Lord Adri, if you don’t mind the simple accommodations here, you’re similarly welcome to stay."

Galos met the Silver Dragon’s scrutinizing gaze straightforwardly.

He then courteously looked at the elegant Red Copper Dragon, adding, "Lady Selena as well, my territory is wide enough to accommodate more distinguished guests."

His voice was exceptionally deep, with a subtle breath in his speech.

Given the silver dragon’s usual sharpness and calmness, he should have noticed these abnormal signs earlier, but now he was a bit upset, his attention not on these aspects.

"Owning such a magnificent castle, dear, it’s not just our beloved daughter."

Red Copper Dragon Selena said while gently swaying her long tail, "Even I can’t help but want to stay for a while, to experience a different scenery."

Crack, crack.

Centered around the Silver Dragon, water molecules in the air immediately condensed into fine ice crystals and snowflakes, the temperature dropped sharply below freezing, even his breath congealed into white mist in the air.

Listening to the continuous comments from his daughter and mate, Adri’s heart surged with an intense urge to harshly punish the young Red Iron Dragon before him, to vent the turmoil in his chest.

However, the dignity and face of an elder prevented him from proposing sparring so straightforwardly.

"I must think of a way that is both decent and effective."

The silver dragon glanced at the Red Iron Dragon with the corner of his eye, and quickly calculated varying phrases in his heart.

At the same time, the drastically cooling environment was making Galos increasingly uncomfortable and restless.

Although he had considerable resistance to the cold, the blood of the Red Iron Dragon instinctively hated such icy conditions.

More importantly, Dragon Valley was his territory, his kingdom built with effort and dedication.

With the Silver Dragon visiting as a guest, he naturally upheld hospitality, but the other’s neglect of letting personal power alter the environment left Galos feeling a blatant challenge to his authority.

The blood vessels in his eyes quietly thickened a few more strands, spreading like fire in his pupils.

"The sustained rise of anger is indeed beginning to erode my rational judgment."
