A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 394 - 317: Bloodburst Advancement—Red Lotus Form, Marching Into the Wilderness with the Dragon Lady

This long-lost feeling, he hadn’t experienced it in a while.

As he constantly adapted to evolution, the usual exuberant state now bore very low burden, resembling the most ordinary aerobic exercise for him, capable of being sustained for a very long time.

The Blood Burst State, however, is akin to high-intensity anaerobic exercise.

Although intense, relying on his strong physique and willpower, he can also sustain it for quite a while.

As for this current state, formed by injecting thermal energy into the Blood Burst State.

He feels every inch of his muscles and every bone is bearing a tremendous burden.

The tenacious Dragon Scales covering his entire body tremble violently under the impact of energy, even making a cracking sound under sheer strain as they start to split!

It’s as if he is recklessly burning himself in exchange for ultimate power.

"This state is more dangerous than any previous form."

Galos clearly senses his own condition.

Burning life is not just a metaphor; he genuinely feels the Dragon Blood inside him boiling, roaring, and fiercely burning.

"If the timing is not used well, unable to end or defeat the enemy in time, this state will put oneself in extremely dangerous dire straits."

"However—"

He thought for a moment, his mindset immediately relaxing quite a bit: "—I still have the second-life stored in the Dragon Jade as the ultimate safeguard."

"Hmm, then it’s fine to use with boldness and confidence."

Galos thought, this powerful form is likely the result of evolution this time, not merely a coincidence, which is why it’s so compatible with himself, enabling further advancement on the basis of Blood Burst State.

"In order to differentiate from the usual Blood Burst State."

"This ultimate state, further fused with thermal energy, used for a desperate fight, shall be called—[Red Lotus State], serving as my ultimate trump card when I am utterly determined for a death battle."

Whoosh—!

Galos took a deep breath, as if ingesting all the burning air around him, then raised his dragon head, suddenly opening his jaws towards the empty sky.

The Destructive Dragon Breath instantly pierced and evaporated the swirling snow and ominous clouds.

Galos also thereby prematurely vented and depleted the turbulent thermal energy inside, voluntarily halted the Red Lotus State.

Along with the expulsion of Destructive Dragon Breath, the fiery red lotus patterns engulfing his body, like living entities, quickly dimmed and extinguished, while the heavy thunderous heartbeat gradually calmed and weakened.

The scorching crimson scale armor covering his entire body slowly settled down, regaining the deep black-red hue like a cooled branding iron.

Galos’ aura finally returned to tranquility.

Having finished all this, he gazed at the Golden Dragon Alberto.

"You seemed to awaken quite early."

Galos asked, "When the Dragon Group was encircling me just now, why didn’t you join the battle? If you had joined, perhaps the Dragon Group might stand a chance."

Nonsense! Absolute nonsense!

Alberto deeply realized in his heart at this moment, never to believe Galos’s nonsense again.

You cannot use any common reasoning to conjecture and measure this guy; otherwise, you’d end up with nothing at the end.

At this moment, most dragons participating in the encirclement are still genuinely comatose.

However, considering the sky is still occupied by the unengaged Red Silver Dragon Deborah, Elf Dragon Vera, and some young dragons not yet reaching adolescence as spectators.

"Well, mainly the feeling of lying on the ground just now was especially comfortable."

The sound of the Golden Dragon seemed quite sincere: "So I thought to lie a bit longer."

"I originally planned to make a glorious appearance at the critical moment of battle, turning the tide."

"But who could have imagined—"

He pointed to the dragon group spread out on the ground, saying: "—that they’d all be down so quickly?"

"In the end, I didn’t even get a chance to make an appearance, can’t blame me for that, right?"

He shook his head, looking quite regretful.

"I see. However, it’s not too late for you to appear now."

Galos said: "Considering the heavy debts weighing you down, those shimmering gemstones and Gold Coins, those rare Magic Materials, which every hard-earned acquisition has to be used for repayment."

"I feel a bit sorry for you, so specially grant you an opportunity."

"From now on, for each successful scar you leave on me, I will exempt a certain amount of your debt based on the depth of the scar. Conversely, if you can’t achieve it, you just need to pay half of the wager’s value as an additional debt as a small incentive."

"How about it? Isn’t it very lucrative?"

Upon hearing these words, Golden Dragon Alberto instinctively felt a sense of anticipation.

Carefully sizing up the Red Iron Dragon, he keenly noticed that the opponent seemed to have undergone some extremely dangerous experiment just now, resulting in dragon scales all over that were covered with tiny cracks, even the emitted aura seemed somewhat weak, far less profound than before.

It seemed as if he could defeat him effortlessly.

Let alone simply leaving a few scars on him.

"Well—"

Alberto almost instinctively agreed, his dragon mouth already opened.

But at the same moment, those countless confident past experiences ended in heartbreak, leading to overwhelming debt, instantly drowned out his impulse, waking him up suddenly.

"No!"

He forcefully stopped the nearly blurted acceptance, abruptly changed the subject.

"Thank you for your good intentions! But I’ve rested too long, my oath urges I must immediately start today’s workout! Other matters, let’s discuss later!"
