Chapter 491: Chapter 353: Ignas Ancestor_2
Back to the point.
Galos gathered his scattered thoughts, the giant Dragon Wings flapping, turning towards another battlefield.
The Phoenix Qiya let out a cry, leading the flock of eagle birds closely behind, while the other Giant Dragons also flapped their wings, following beside their leader.
On the other side.
The chase and fierce battle among the Purple Crystal Dragon Lion Ennos, the Holy Spirit Deer, and the Eye Demon had already come to an end.
The Eye Demon’s wrinkle-covered, spherical body had been torn apart, with broken limbs scattered all over, its viscous body fluids mixing with dust and soil, dead beyond dead.
Its remains carried the searing aura of Divine Energy, along with the marks of huge beast claws tearing and fangs gnawing.
The most lethal strike was the one that pierced through its giant main eye.
A light spear, solid as if real, was still firmly nailed there, its glow gradually dimming but not yet completely dissipated.
The Holy Spirit Deer was still alive, but in a dire situation.
The Purple Crystal Dragon Lion Ennos was pressing its strong body down, pinning the Holy Spirit Deer to the ground, preventing it from rising.
Its large maw, filled with fangs, hovered above the Holy Spirit Deer’s slender neck, the sharp tips already piercing the snow-white fur, tearing the skin, as threads of softly glowing white deer blood slowly seeped out.
Around them, a few ferocious beasts loyal to the Holy Spirit Deer tried to rush over for rescue.
But they themselves had long been blocked, layer upon layer, by the Molten Iron Legion encirclement, unable to advance further.
[Sweet little snack, be grateful.]
[If it were during my years of reign, you would already have become the most delicious dish on my table, where I would savor your warm and delectable flesh and blood.]
The low growl of the Purple Crystal Dragon Lion carried Spiritual Energy, directly transmitting into the Holy Spirit Deer’s ears.
"Despicable lion! You only took advantage of the moment when I and the Evil Demon were both exhausted and slipped in to gain the upper hand by chance!"
"If we were both at our peak, dueling fairly, I would definitely knock your teeth out and make you beg for mercy on your knees."
The Holy Spirit Deer struggled unwillingly.
But every exertion only drove the Dragon Lion’s claws and fangs deeper, causing waves of intense pain.
Suddenly, the Purple Crystal Dragon Lion released its grip on the Holy Spirit Deer, taking a few steps back, sitting down to leisurely lick the deer blood off its claws.
The Holy Spirit Deer immediately tried to get up and escape.
But just as it stood, before it could get far, a Dragon Shadow, deeper and more overwhelming than the Dragon Lion, spread over like a physical presence, pressing heavily down on it, halting its movement.
It lifted its head, looking towards the sky at the imposing Dragon Shadow that blocked out the sun, a flash of fear and hesitation in its eyes.
After struggling for a moment, it ultimately chose to remain in place, nervously pawing at the muddy ground with its hooves.
Galos lowered his massive head, his gaze sweeping over the chaotic battlefield.
[Leader]
The Purple Crystal Dragon Lion Ennos let out a deep and respectful growl, conveying its meaning through Spiritual Energy.
[I severely wounded the Eye Demon, intending to spare its life until you arrived to deal with it personally, but this Holy Spirit Deer seized the opportunity and struck the final blow on that Evil Demon, killing it before I could.]
It briefly reported the situation.
Galos folded his wings, descending leisurely before the Holy Spirit Deer, his gigantic form casting a shadow that almost completely covered it.
"Now, you have only two paths before you."
He made it straightforward, without any beating around the bush, giving the Holy Spirit Deer two simple choices.
Submission, or death.
The Holy Spirit Deer remained silent for a few seconds, its large, branch-like antlers lowering slightly.
It finally made its choice, its front knees covered in white fur bending slightly, slowly kneeling in the mud, while deeply bowing its head.
"I... am willing to submit to you, mighty Master of Giant Dragon."
"Very well, stand up."
Galos’s tone was calm, signaling the Holy Spirit Deer to rise.
The Holy Spirit Deer stood, glancing towards the other side where the Purple Crystal Dragon Lion sat, still licking its paws with interest, then focused its determined gaze on the Red Iron Dragon.
"Great King of Molten Iron, before I officially pledge my loyalty to you, may I ask you to grant me a small request?"
It paused, raising its hoof to point unceremoniously at the Purple Crystal Dragon Lion, continuing, "Once I have fully recovered, I want to engage in a fair, one-on-one duel with this opportunistic lion!"
"The loser must willingly bow and show goodwill to the winner, accepting a lower status."
Galos turned his gaze to the Purple Crystal Dragon Lion.
From his perspective as an observer, the Purple Crystal Dragon Lion Ennos clearly had a better chance of winning.
It possessed more powerful physical strength and excelled in using Spiritual Energy to assist in frenzied combat.
By comparison, the Holy Spirit Deer’s abilities leaned more towards healing, support, purification, and Divine strikes, not specializing in direct confrontation, and had no significant advantage over the Purple Crystal Dragon Lion.
If it were in a legion battle, the strategic role of the Holy Spirit Deer could surpass the Purple Crystal Dragon Lion.
But in a one-on-one duel, the Purple Crystal Dragon Lion’s chance of victory was at least seventy percent.
However, this was just Galos’s rational judgment.
Clearly, the Holy Spirit Deer, angry and annoyed, did not share his view.
[Leader! I am very much looking forward to this duel!]
The Purple Crystal Dragon Lion eagerly growled its assent, at the same time opening its large mouth towards the Holy Spirit Deer, revealing sharp white fangs.
