Chapter 1014: Chapter 237: Long Dou
The ink marks floating in the air, those golden dragon eyes suddenly blinked.
Immediately following, what was originally just a flat image of Drogon quickly became vivid, breaking free from the confines of the plane, its body inflating as if blown up, chest and abdomen lined with jagged bones, and four spiraling dragon horns on its head pointing slantwise towards the sky.
Drogon’s size was not large, only twenty meters in length, and within the novel’s timeline, it had just barely exceeded the juvenile dragon stage.
Let alone compared to Ladon, even the two female dragons beside Ladon surpassed it by far.
However, Prajna’s summoned creature, strength and setting may not necessarily equate.
Three years ago, perhaps because it was laden with too much personal content to promote Losa’s own workshop’s luxury goods, the Song of Winter and Summer series personally polished by Prajna, had always sold less than the Demon Hunter series.
Giant dragons are evil beasts, and among numerous ones like the scorpion-tailed lion, ghoul, and burrow giant, they are the fiercest type. Even a medium dragon species is beyond what an ordinary person can hunt.
Except for the crazed zealots of the Dragon Worship Sect, almost no one likes this monster.
But with Losa repeatedly riding demon dragons to strike down heretics, in the eyes of the overseas Christians, demon dragons have already attained a status similar to that of the Lion of Saint Mark.
This indirectly boosted the sales of "Song of Winter and Summer," with many people seeing Queen Daenerys as their personal idol, and every knight has fantasized about subduing a demon dragon like Drogon, riding it into the sky, and showering foes with dragon flame.
Thus, Drogon, gathering the admiration of thousands, hid within its youthful dragon body a fearsome beast with destructive power sufficient to threaten the legendary level.
The demon dragon flapped its wings and took flight, almost immediately upon appearing, the scorching dragon flame poured towards the Sassanid army formation.
The Sassanid army, who had been quite relieved that Master Jilani had destroyed the enemy’s violent legion from the rear, found their morale shaken for a moment.
The young monk shouted nervously, "Master Mazdak, it’s the demon dragon, the enemy’s demon dragon has appeared!"
The old man frowned, "It’s far smaller than the legends suggest, but the power of its dragon flame..."
This was unusual, for Sassanids also had demon dragons dwelling, and the Persian Plateau once had an overabundance of demon dragons, with historical records naming at least fifty, all medium or larger dragon species.
Thus, the Casters of the Fire Worship had deep knowledge of such beasts, and the origins of their faith might also have involved fear of the dragon flame of the demon dragons destroying cities, scorching mountains, and boiling seas.
"There’s no time to hesitate anymore, Master, no matter how many dragons the enemy has, we cannot sit idly by while it wreaks havoc."
Mazdak sighed wryly and could only raise his staff.
Like molten lava, the dragon flame turned into countless raindrops in the air, splattering everywhere, yet meeting an invisible barrier, unable to advance further.
Drogon roared, its thick neck appearing as if having swallowed fiery coals, turning the whole neck into the color of molten lava.
Everyone knew this temporary ebb of the demon dragon meant an even more terrifying dragon flame was about to be unleashed.
Mazdak unhesitatingly waved his magic staff, and the air rippled, as numerous demons he had personally tamed passed through the barrier of space and descended onto the battlefield upon his summoning.
These demons, like demonic elephants, were cultivated by him over three years.
Among them were scorpion-tailed lions, giant eagles, long-winged dragons, and various strange monsters of unidentified original species, but all shared the trait of being immense in size, some even surpassing Drogon.
These creatures pounced at Drogon almost instantly upon appearing.
This was one of Mazdak and Jilani’s strategies against the demon dragon, with the purpose of these demons being to temporarily entangle it. Yet, seeing the demon dragon appearing at merely over twenty meters, Mazdak couldn’t help but indulge in the luxury of wondering if these demons could contend with a demon dragon.
"It’s not a good habit to fight many against one."
From afar, the silent observer Prajna lifted the brush again, sketching the images of two other demon dragons, brothers of Drogon—Rhaegal and Viserion.
The former was a bronze-colored demon dragon, while the latter was milky-white.
Though both were considerably less renowned and powerful than Drogon, they were certainly adequate as helpers.
The two newly born demon dragons roared upon their arrival on the battlefield.
Rhaegal collided headlong into the scorpion-tailed lion in front of Drogon, biting its tail with the sharp poison stinger and throwing it far away, while Viserion spewed pale blue dragon flame, striking directly at the long-winged dragon attacking Drogon from the flank.
This subtype flying dragon bearing giant dragon lineage belonged to the swamp creatures, and though covered in a layer of scale armor, it couldn’t withstand such high temperatures, being roasted to the point of peeling and splitting before plummeting to the ground.
At the same time, Drogon, now free to act, rage evident in its golden eyes, its neck almost entirely the color of molten rock, rose and unleashed a terrifying pillar of flame resembling divine punishment.
Mazdak widened his cloudy eyes; such terrible breath, and with a body so small?
This clearly was a mutant among giant dragons!
The Frankish demon dragons possessing such might was unsurprising, but this black dragon and the other two dragons, clearly were not the "Red-Black Demon Dragon" or the "Three-headed Variant" frequently mentioned in legends.
