Chapter 68 The War of Dragons: Wisdom as the Key to Power (Please Subscribe!)
The night was completely torn apart by the two dragons.
Faced with Garus's overwhelming attack, the Cliff Serpent Dragon did not confront the attack head-on. Instead, it leaped into the air and sprang up, turning and twisting in the air like a green lightning bolt, its slender body drawing a complex zigzag trajectory.
but.
In terms of speed and agility, it still cannot compare to Galus.
Galos's body is strong and thick, and at first glance it seems a bit heavy, not as agile as the serpentine body of the Cliff Serpent Dragon. However, its agility when turning is incredible. With a flap of its huge wings, it stirs up howling winds and dense sparks, and can complete a turn of almost ninety degrees in an instant.
The silhouettes of two dragons twisted and turned in the night sky.
The cliff-side serpent dragon soared diagonally into the sky, with Galos hot on its heels, the distance between them rapidly closing.
Looking back, the Cliff Serpent Dragon saw the Red Iron Dragon getting closer and closer. It let out a hiss, becoming angry because it could not shake off Garos and because the other party was relentlessly pursuing it.
But its intuition and instincts told it that Galus was in danger.
If I can't slow down his speed, I might be severely injured instantly if I get hit by his attack.
Serpent dragons are not afraid of death, but unless it is the last moment or their anger and hatred reach their extreme, they will not use the means of cursing death to make powerful enemies pay the price.
Sizzle!
The high-temperature heat rising from beneath the scales of the cliff-faced serpent dragon turned green, transforming it into poisonous mist. Then, the poisonous mist spewing from the gaps in its scales condensed into fine threads in the air, weaving a highly toxic net behind its body as it twisted and turned.
Galos's pursuit was blocked by layers of poisonous silk.
He shuddered, shaking off the reddened scales on his body caused by the rapid friction, and then exhaled a breath of fiery dragon breath.
The Fiery Dragon Breath is powerful, but its killing range is somewhat insufficient. However, when the dragon breath collides with the Exploding Scales, it creates a deafening explosion.
The melted poisonous threads rained down on the dense forest floor.
The canopy of the century-old tree hissed as if it had been splashed with strong acid, and the resin reacted with the venom to produce thick blackish-green smoke.
At the same time, the raging flames surged and swept outwards, tearing a huge gap in the poison net.
Galus folded his wings.
He spun around, passing precisely through the gap, then spread his dragon wings and charged at the cliffside serpent dragon again. However, due to the obstruction of the poisonous net, his speed was ultimately slowed down, and his attack was slightly less intense.
Taking advantage of the cliff, the serpent dragon turned and charged.
Galos spread his right wing high, like a giant guillotine, slashing towards the body of the cliff serpent dragon.
Having experienced the power of Garus's wings before, this time, the Cliff Serpent Dragon did not directly withstand Garus's wing strike. Instead, it bent its slender body backward to avoid the right wing.
It was just about to retaliate.
Galos suddenly spun around, its left wing spreading high, the wing ring at the end lighting up, suddenly igniting a raging fire on its left wing. With even greater speed, it tore through the air with a piercing shriek, slashing towards the head of the cliff serpent dragon.
The dragon wings spun around too fast and too suddenly.
The cliff-dwelling serpent's eyes narrowed, it hissed, and quickly leaned back.
Tear!
The dragon-wing blade grazed the neck of the cliff-dwelling serpent dragon, making a shallow cut through the fine scales on its throat.
It's a bit lacking.
If I could kill it in one strike and end the battle immediately, I wouldn't be covered in too much poisonous blood. It's a pity, though. This serpent dragon's reaction speed is still fast. As a dragon, it is not comparable to other ferocious beasts and monsters of the same level.
Poisonous blood gushed from the throat of the cliff serpent dragon and landed on Garus's left wing.
The excruciating pain came instantly, but it was a little easier to bear than the first time.
Galos's previous practice of using the venom of the Cliff Serpent Dragon to train his resistance did indeed add some resistance to him.
Galos's gaze was icy, and his body spun and slashed continuously. His pair of dragon wings were like two huge and terrifying blades, stirring up a storm of blades that swept and ravaged the cliffside serpent dragon.
His most formidable weapon is none other than his pair of wings, forged through countless trials.
Faced with Garus's ferocious attack, the Cliff Serpent Dragon was completely unable to retaliate.
Even when it concentrates all its energy, it can only maneuver and dodge Garus's attacks, and it cannot completely avoid them.
Ding ding ding!
The ferocious wing slashes swept across the serpent dragon's body on the cliff face time and time again, occasionally accompanied by sharp claws and tail strikes. With the sound of metal clashing, they tore through its scales and flesh, leaving dense bloodstains on its body.
The body is constantly being damaged.
The cliff serpent dragon did not flee in fear, but instead continued to fight Garus, as if it had lost its mind.
In fact, this is not the case. Dragons have excellent combat instincts, and this Cliff Serpent Dragon is a seasoned veteran who makes good use of its own advantages. It is cunning and treacherous, unlike the Copper Dragon which was a fledgling with little combat experience.
In terms of direct combat, it is far inferior to Garos.
Its advantage lies in its poisonous blood and the poisonous mist emitted by its steaming blood.
As the Cliff Serpent Dragon sustained more wounds, Garos became stained with more venomous blood, and a green poisonous mist continuously emanated from its body. Garos, who was nearby, was inevitably enveloped by it and subjected to the all-pervasive corrosive effects of the poisonous mist.
This poisonous fog is different from its direct poisonous blood.
It appears mediocre and is very deceptive, but it accumulates gradually and then erupts like a flash flood once it reaches a certain threshold.
By this time, it's often too late for the target to react; the deadly poison will utterly destroy its resistance, rendering it unable to fight.
The cliff serpent dragon once used this poison to kill even more ferocious beasts than itself.
Next.
The plan was to feign weakness, making the red iron dragon believe it could kill him first, while secretly accumulating toxins for a sudden burst. A cruel smile crept across the cliff serpent dragon's lips. It had already planned how, once Garos was poisoned and unable to resist, it would slowly tear open its scales, listen to its cries of agony, and devour its flesh piece by piece.
Tear!
Garus's claws grazed the belly of the cliff serpent dragon, leaving several bloody marks.
The cliff serpent dragon was covered in blood. The poisonous blood that hadn't directly touched Garos was evaporated into a poisonous mist that swirled around it. The muscles under its scales were tense, ready to continue dodging and maneuvering, accumulating toxins, and then counter-kill Garos.
However.
What the cliff serpent dragon didn't expect was...
Despite seemingly having the upper hand, Galos suddenly spread its dragon wings, soared into the air, and retreated, no longer pursuing Galos.
Higher in the sky, Garus stared calmly at the cliffside serpent dragon.
He didn't let the battle ignite his passion and recklessly fight the Cliff Serpent Dragon. Although he was confident that he could kill the Cliff Serpent Dragon first in a short time, the risk was too great. He would only get poisoned too much, and even if he won, he would pay a heavy price.
In comparison.
Galos wanted to eliminate the serpent dragon at a lower cost.
So when he seemed to have the upper hand, he chose to withdraw, unlike most young dragons who fight like wild beasts, driven by passion and fighting to the death, forgetting that they are intelligent beings.
In this fierce battle and struggle.
Galos adopted a battle strategy of using intelligence to control strength and retreating to advance.
Wisdom is the key to harnessing power – something that is often only older dragons can do.
"Are you afraid of me? Afraid of death?!"
The cliff serpent roared and charged at Garos, battered and bruised. Garos, however, calmly flapped its wings and continued to keep its distance, refusing to engage in close combat.
The Cliff Serpent Dragon was seriously injured, and its sluggish speed made it completely unable to keep up with Garus.
It keeps provoking.
However, he was never able to attract Galos's hatred.
Because he constantly struggles with his own negative desires and emotions, Galos has developed a resilient and calm mental fortitude. Provocations don't work on him, and he doesn't let his opponents' provocations cloud his judgment.
At this time.
Cliff Serpent Dragon thought Garos was trying to escape the battle, but after realizing it couldn't catch up, it angrily turned back towards Crescent Valley, wanting to vent its anger on the werewolves, just like last time.
However.
Unlike last time.
Galos did not leave.
