“I’m telling the truth.”
Maggie, under Oris's gaze, emphasized it again without changing her expression.
"oh."
Oris nodded in agreement, then crossed his arms with a 'let's see what other tricks you can come up with' expression, which almost made Maggie's face turn black.
Maggie clearly didn't want Oris to die, but she made it seem like she was asking for his help.
Um......
Well, she might indeed have some ulterior motive, but at least it's a win-win situation. She needs to offer some incentive to keep her motivated to continue. Right now, Oris's expression really makes her lose the desire to keep talking.
The two, one human and one dragon, were locked in a stalemate when suddenly Maggie felt a gust of wind behind her. She instinctively turned her head and was met with a pair of crimson-gold eyes.
It was a golden dragon, peering into Oris's cave, when it happened to spot Maggie.
"!"
Maggie was startled by the enormous dragon eye, and the next second, she was shielded behind her.
Oris stepped forward, completely shielding her with his body. He looked up at the golden dragon with cold eyes and an angry tone.
"Who gave you permission to peek into my cave!"
Although dragons' lairs are mostly on cliffs with no shelter, dragons are still highly intelligent creatures, and most of them won't just peek into other people's caves.
Just like no human being would idly peer through a window into someone else's house.
"Humans?"
Golden Dragon didn't answer Oris's question. Instead, he looked behind Oris with great interest, his tone intriguing and tinged with a hint of mockery.
"Our great hero is spreading kindness everywhere again."
Although Maggie couldn't see the golden dragon's expression, no matter how she listened to it, the words carried a strong sense of sarcasm, which made her face turn cold as well.
Regardless of whether Oris wanted to become a god, he should not be humiliated like this by his own kind.
"It's a pity that the Dragon Clan is under martial law now, so you'd better hand this human girl over as soon as possible."
Huang Jinlong's tone was leisurely yet tinged with regret, as if he were lamenting the loss of a vibrant life. But that was only the impression he made; the underlying malice was so intense it was suffocating.
"It's none of your business."
Oris's voice was almost frozen, and his attitude towards the golden dragon was extremely bad, but no matter what, he couldn't bring himself to attack his own kind because of a human, so he could only endure this humiliation.
"Don't say that. Protecting the safety of the dragon race is everyone's responsibility, and you are no exception."
The Golden Dragon was probably fearless, knowing that Oris would not kill or make a move, so even though Oris was a pseudo-god-level being, he was not afraid at all and continued to provoke Oris with words.
Finally, before Oris could utter any more useless threats, Maggie couldn't help but interrupt him.
"If all dragons are like this, then I'm truly impressed."
Maggie didn't want to keep hiding behind Oris. This silly dragon already had depressive tendencies, and if she continued to provoke him like this, she was afraid that Oris would suddenly start cosplaying as a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll that brings sunshine to the sky).
Then she'll really behave herself.
"Human, you have no right to speak here!"
The golden dragon's voice suddenly turned fierce, and his breath hit us, carrying his warning and malice.
"You can't say that."
Maggie sneered. Not to mention that she was in full condition and not afraid of exhaustion here, she even dared to use forbidden spells in reality, so why couldn't she do it here?
A low rank does not mean she is weak.
"Stop talking."
Looking at Maggie, who was like a hedgehog and whose words were sharp, Oris felt a headache coming on. How could a human who looked so weak have the courage to provoke a dragon?
The dragon could crush her with a single swipe of its claw.
"Tsk, they called you a great hero in a sarcastic way, which is disrespectful, and you're not even angry? You even told me to shut up..."
Maggie was speechless. She looked Oris up and down and curled her lip in disdain.
She turned her head away, ignoring Oris, and walked towards the nearly enraged dragon.
"Human, even Oris can't save you today!"
The golden dragon was still roaring when it stretched out its claws and attacked Maggie with force. With a loud bang, a large section of the cave entrance collapsed from its claws.
Dust billowed up, and the Golden Dragon watched this scene with smug satisfaction.
He was just a high-level mage. Not to mention humans, even dragons couldn't withstand such an attack from him.
Before he could even finish celebrating, a figure shot out of the smoke and dust like a cannonball. A large amount of magic gathered in the air, and the light flashed exceptionally brightly, attracting the attention of even the dragons that were either flying or sleeping around him.
A massive and surging magical force poured down from above, like a waterfall crashing down on the golden dragon's head. With a muffled thud, the dragon was crushed by the water sphere and fell to the bottom of the valley.
Maggie unfurled her 'Holy Light Flight' wings and looked down at the bottomless valley with disdain on her face.
After plundering the Pope, the biggest benefit she received was a large number of forbidden spells that she could use, even though most of them had significant side effects.
However, in her dream, she didn't have to consider the side effects. Even if she played with fireworks, it wouldn't affect her at all.
This forbidden spell is the magic 'Dance of the Water Spring' created by the sea god. Targets entangled by the spring water will be gradually crushed and suffocated, unable to escape the cage of the water dance.
However, Maggie respected Oris's divine status and did not intend to kill the golden dragon directly.
Even if you treat it as ordinary magic, hitting him on the head would be enough to give him a hard time, not to mention that he fell down, so the chances of him not being seriously injured are slim.
Having vented her anger, Maggie felt instantly better, and her mood improved considerably.
Having faced setbacks at every turn with Oris, and now having found a scapegoat, she certainly wouldn't let him go.
"!"
Oris, who witnessed the whole thing, widened his eyes slightly, stunned by what he saw.
Who would have thought that the frail girl who was freezing cold last night could unleash such powerful fighting strength?
The surrounding dragons were all dumbfounded, and one of them, which was flying, almost fell off the sky, barely managing to grab the cliff wall beside it.
"Was that a human just now?"
"Who let the archmage into our territory, or a magician who knows forbidden spells?"
"That level of magical power... it feels more than just a Grand Magister. Could it be a false god of the human race? But doesn't the human race only have one false god?"
The dragons around them began to huddle together, chirping softly, and looked at Maggie, who was flying in mid-air, with awe in their eyes.
Many dragons also cast pleading glances at Oris, for there was only one false god of the dragon race here, capable of fighting against a girl who appeared to be a top-tier human warrior.
