Beneath the Red Dragon

Chapter 501 - 33: Magic Dragon God and the Five-Pronged Rose (Part 2)

Karon furrowed the scales between his brows slightly, but did not speculate the intentions and purposes of Immortal Queen Tiamat. These powerful beings can be regarded as divine spirits, but most of the time, they should be seen as dragons with personality flaws.

Tiamat’s name as the Dragon Queen of evil comes from her advocacy of purposeless perversity and reckless behavior. Perhaps she does this just to seek amusement for herself as an old mother dragon.

But Karon couldn’t easily yield, even if he knew how to quell the wrath of this Dragon God.

"Even the Dragon God carrying belief cannot restrain the dragons of the mortal realm, let alone you haven’t favored the Gogomola Dragon Group. The matters of the mortal realm belong to the mortal world, and the matters of the divine spirits belong to the gods,"

Karon said softly. He refused to take the blame; since his earliest days, he was always the one passing the blame.

Karon’s subtle implication was for the Magic Goddess Kreska to go find trouble with Tiamat, but Kreska suddenly laughed.

"Haha, but I observed you for a while and found that what you say is somewhat different from that old mother dragon. You seem to have refused becoming her divine favored, yet she values you greatly,"

"So I’ve decided to completely erase the possibility of you becoming that cursed bitch’s divine favored, then have you cast aside her idol and offer worship to my idol instead."

"Moreover, I will help you erase the aura left by Tiamat on you. This aura is sufficient to disgust me, as if it declares her sovereignty over you,"

The Magic Dragon God Kreska said smugly, "As long as you agree to my conditions, I will forgive your transgression."

Karon did not deliberate, but directly shook his head saying, "The Emperor of the Dragon Empire will not become the divine favored of any spirit; the Emperor’s will does not allow any existence to interfere, even if it is a divine spirit."

"But if you can tell me about the means Tiamat left on me, surely there is still a better possibility between us."

The Magic Goddess Kreska’s expression changed instantly like a chameleon, cold frost appearing on her face. She stared icily at the unflinching Ancestral Red Dragon.

Sneering, she said, "You dragons of the mortal world always harbor pride towards the gods, it seems I must teach you a lesson to make you lower your head."

"Unfortunately, your reverse scale is a rare treasure that accompanies you in growth, enough to compare with the residual crystals of lost civilizations, enough to become creations in the gods’ furnaces,"

"If through my hands, it can forge artifacts that move mountains and overturn seas," Kreska’s magic aura faded, leaving only her voice.

"But losing the reverse scale, the scales on your body are no longer complete, cannot provide you with strong protection; even though I cannot spend too much divine power to descend, this warrior is still enough to teach you a lesson."

"Be careful, little one, Gogomola, don’t disappoint me, or I don’t mind taking your soul now, to keep me company."

The image of the Magic Dragon God Kreska faded completely, replaced by a powerful knight standing before Karon, with an aura like towering mountains, covered in frost and snow.

A dangerous aura spread around Karon.

Detection skills and intuitive perception had long conveyed to Karon the approximate information on the warrior before him. In terms of comprehensive ability estimation, the knight’s strength before him was about at a challenge level of nineteen, which, in the human measurement system, already belongs to the pinnacle beneath legend.

The key point is, among the same ranks, there are still differences.

Dragons and humans, entirely different. Dragons of this level, even ordinary legends, don’t want to provoke them. This counts as a formidable opponent, especially those at the bottom of the despised chain, the legendary warriors.

And the opposing knight, though only three meters tall, is a dragon, not a human.

This was originally part of the subordinate organization under the God of Evil Dragons Tiamat’s church, composed of elite forces selected from the Giant Snake Guard—the Five-Pronged Rose Knight Order.

These dark warriors under Tiamat once devoted their efforts to the destruction and slaughter of Bahamut’s children—the Metal Dragons.

They are the bane to the kind-hearted faction of Giant Dragons across the cosmic realms, tasked with pursuing those who deserted Tiamat and turned to embrace Bahamut—the Colorful Dragons.

During the chaotic Dragon Fall Era, the confirmed record of the Five-Pronged Rose Knight Order members included over two hundred Metal Dragons and Colorful Dragons hunted.

The dragon skulls from those hunted still hang in the fortress of the Five-Pronged Rose Knight Order’s base today, displayed as trophies.

This also means that the member of the Five-Pronged Rose Knight Order before him possesses rich knowledge in dragon warfare, equipped with various skills for hunting dragon races, a formidable warrior and warlock, maybe even an outstanding caster, powerful priest.

And the knight before him, besides his strength, is adorned with comprehensive and luxurious magical equipment.

He donned a set of dragon scale chain armor forged of magic metal, holding a two-handed sword with serrated edges, known from Karon’s extensive reading as a magic weapon.

This lethal weapon was named ’Great Serpent Blade’ by the Five-Pronged Rose Knight Order, crafted using emerald poison gems and poison dragon poison snake scales for the sword hilt and blade.

When necessary, it would animate into a hissing, venom-spraying large serpent in the warrior’s hand, attacking all enemies ahead.
