The two reverted dragons, which were being controlled separately, quickly regained their normal agility. However, Qin He felt considerable sluggishness when controlling the reverted amethyst dragon.
"So this is what the body of the reverted dragon looks like. It is indeed very different from Nidhogg's."
After quickly adjusting to and adapting to the Amethyst Dragon's physical abilities and moves, Qin He soon developed a combat style that best suited his own needs.
At the end of the dazzling light, the young green dragon, who had closed his eyes to avoid the blinding effect, suddenly felt light.
The two enormous creatures, each fourteen meters long, were flung away by the amethyst dragon's psychic power.
Upon opening their eyes, the two young green dragons found themselves suspended in mid-air. Their instinctive flapping of wings to maintain balance became their fatal weakness.
The amethyst breath that shot forth struck the two young green dragons instantly. The dragons, whose scales had already been stripped away and blown away by the burning aura, were severely injured!
Seeing Qin He's cunning and ruthless attack, Zhuang Daihua also began to prepare to use her Sharp Blade Mantle.
Her concerns were not unfounded. Given Qin He's current combat prowess, even if the ancestral amethyst dragon he controlled was only at the lower fourth rank, defeating a green dragon at the middle seventh rank would not be difficult.
The moment the blade's majesty was unleashed, the two young green dragons were swiftly annihilated by the energy blades damaged by the force field, instantly covered in blood.
The reason they didn't cut off the bones along with the bones is probably because these green dragons learned some defensive moves to deal with the sharp breath.
Within seconds, hundreds of slashes had already grazed the bodies of the young green dragons. But at most, they only tore away their scales and hides...
"No, not only that, these young green dragons' injuries are healing in a strange way? What kind of power is this...?"
Qin He understood the source of the energy helping the young green dragons resist the slashes simply by observing Golia's condition.
This adult green dragon... it was able to build a nest around Shallowwater City and became famous in the surrounding area. Its threat level was definitely much stronger than that of the green dragon Nomis that Qin Xinru and the others had seen!
As for the reason for Goliath's power, it is this natural majesty that draws life from nature!
As everyone knows, green dragons are monsters capable of easily wiping out cities with their poison gas. But sometimes, however, poison gas doesn't give them the upper hand in battles against other dragons.
Therefore, one can control rare magical plants to enhance their own toxins or directly provide combat power beyond their own body.
This is the road that the green dragon often travels.
Natural Majesty is a variant of Dragon Might that the Green Dragon can master, in addition to Poisonous Majesty.
With its inherent natural majesty, the green dragon can draw life force and natural energy from its environment. This ensures it maintains peak regenerative abilities and allows it to amplify desired targets.
Even the two green dragon youths, seemingly hopeless and incapable of any real progress, were protected by the majesty of nature. Through their regenerative abilities and the resistance amplified by the majesty of nature, they briefly withstood the sharpness of the energy strikes.
"I see, Gloria. You truly live up to the name of Jadeite!"
Qin He was amazed by the abilities of this adult green dragon, but not surprised. This wasn't the only green dragon that understood the majesty of nature.
To put it more recently, there was a naturally born ancestral green dragon on the continent of Trahir. It was a contemporary of Yanling and Sangshen.
This ancestral green dragon, named Qingdai, is a true darling of nature. She established her own kingdom in the human world and clashed with the main branch of the Dragon Slayer family.
With the imposing range of her ancestral green dragon at the early stage of sainthood in her prime, Qingdai was even able to plunder the life force of enemy soldiers on the battlefield and replenish it into the bodies of her own kin.
With this ability to exude natural majesty, Qingdai has already become one of the most influential ancestral dragons on the human continent.
She also wrote to Qin He, saying that she was willing to do her part in the fight against the Longlu family.
Qin He planned to conquer the Blackfire Kingdom and then form an alliance with Qingdai's Emerald Kingdom to jointly destroy the Dragon Slaughter Clan's millennia-long evil deeds.
Fortunately, both the Purple Dragon and the Amethyst Dragon are now summoned creatures within the Ring of the Mystic Dragons. The effect of Nature's Majesty's draining of life energy is ineffective against the two Mystic Dragons within the ring, which are soulless and merely summoned creatures.
Despite this, the green dragon, nestled in the dense forest, still has vast amounts of life force to plunder. The surviving lizardman remnants, the surrounding flora and fauna, and the domesticated magical beasts are all potential targets.
To prepare for the toughest battles, such as against that wretched orange dragon, "Emerald" Goliath had a backup plan hidden beneath her lair.
Even if the vitality on the ground is completely stripped away by the majesty of nature, she can continue to fight.
And that backup plan was the trolls, one of the most resilient humanoid races in the world.
Trolls are a species with infinite regenerative abilities; beheading or dismemberment cannot kill them.
The only things that can counter a troll's regenerative abilities are fire and acid. Golia captured nearly sixty trolls from the troll clan outside Shallowwater City and kept them all under the ancient tree where their lair was located.
With ample food, these ferocious beasts possess an inexhaustible vitality to exhaust her. The army sent by Shallow Water City to subdue her ultimately met its end by being worn down.
Based on this inheritance, Golia believed she would become the second Qingdai. The divine power of nature's majesty could also bring her additional faith…
Many people in Shallow Water City already believe that Goliath, who possesses natural majesty, is a chosen dragon blessed by the supreme god and affirmed by Seresi.
Although the majesty of nature has always been a tradition inherited within the dragon bloodline and has nothing to do with Celestia, all humans hold the concept they represent in the highest esteem because of the existence of the four supreme gods.
"Dai Dai, reduce the killing range of Sharp Blade's Majesty to ten feet outside your body."
Qin He understood from the previous battle between Zhuang Daihua and Anjie Longlu that the power of aura and halo-type magical effects could be increased by reducing their range.
While Natural Majesty can reduce its range to absorb enemy life force more quickly, its advantage is negated if it sacrifices its wide-area absorption capability.
In addition, Golia must maintain the maximum range of Natural Majesty in order to draw life force from the underground trolls to replenish herself.
If Qin He and Zhuang Daihua compress the range of their majesty to its absolute limit, the amplified destructive power could potentially surpass the regenerative ability of the Green Dragon's natural majesty.
Qin He was the first to unleash his amethyst aura, and countless explosive amethyst crystals began to form around him.
Qin He was about to hunt down the two young green dragons that were soaring into the air as quickly as possible.
Only by being blessed by the majesty of nature did they manage to stay alive. Just as they were recovering from the excruciating pain of being gouged out by the majesty of the blade, the two green dragons were about to face an even more deadly crisis.
The regenerative abilities, protection, and spell resistance provided by the Natural Majesty are considerable, but the Amethyst Dragon's Amethyst Majesty has the most direct force field explosion.
He was absolutely certain that by injecting this utterly violent method of destruction directly into the bodies of the two green dragons, he could inflict them with internal injuries that would be difficult to heal.
The Amethyst Breath can directly generate physical explosive amethyst outside the body. Its power is much weaker than that of normal amethyst breath, but it has the advantage of being plentiful and satisfying.
The Amethyst Dragon's telekinetic abilities allow it to "launch" free amethyst crystals that sacrifice a certain area for lethality as ammunition.
Therefore, the Amethyst Dragon, which reduced its majesty range, was almost unaffected.
Qin He swooped down like a bomber, heading straight for the green dragon, which had landed in a sorry state and was tumbling and crawling.
The Explosive Amethyst, locked in by telekinesis, was aimed at the space between the mouths and nostrils of the two green dragons.
If it can be injected directly into the throat cavity, the "mouth-exploding" green dragon will have its neck blasted through, affecting its breathing organs and potentially causing immediate dizziness.
Of course, Golia wasn't a foolish dragon. If the two young green dragons died, she would be caught in a pincer attack by Zhuang Daihua and Qin He.
Even with the protection of the majesty of nature, Golia still dared not fight head-on against the two beings who possessed the majesty of the blade and the majesty of the amethyst.
"The Miasma Tree Boundary is sealed!"
In the jungle where life force was being drained, more and more lush and twisted magical plants gradually grew.
As a renowned green dragon, Golia has planted countless seeds of magical plants within her territory.
These little things are the most effective way for the Green Dragon to make up for the gap in its output methods.
Countless sharp thorns, twisted carnivorous plants, sharp iron bamboo, magical plants with ice properties...
With towering ancient trees reaching hundreds of meters in height serving as a defensive line to block escape routes, the remaining army of dazzling magical plants unleashed attacks driven by instinct.
Thanks to the dense array of blades around her, Zhuang Daihua was perfectly capable of shredding and annihilating the approaching magical plants and energy attacks, just as she had done when she defended against Ange Longlu's attack.
Qin He, relying on his telekinetic deflection and the self-destructing floating cannon-like defense of the amethyst beside him, also managed to withstand the magical plant attacks from within the miasma tree barrier.
"If it were that orange dragon, it would probably use a halo-like ability to burn all the magical plant seeds in the ground beforehand, right?"
Understanding this, Qin He immediately transmitted his voice to Zhuang Daihua:
"Daidai, switch from Sharp Blade's Might to the largest area of effect, Burning Aura. Use it to burn all the magical plants that have already grown and all the seeds that haven't yet sprouted!"
In this round of attacks, Golia realized that the magical plants weren't fast enough. She was planning to use the rapidly growing Yaon Dragon Iron Bamboo to first take down the Amethyst Dragon, whose scales were the most fragile.
—The scales of gem dragons are generally more brittle than those of other colored dragons and metallic dragons, a fact told to green dragons in the lore.
However, the Amethyst Dragon's defenses were not to be underestimated. Coupled with Qin He's use of telekinesis to probe the earth's strata for potential attacks, he directly and brute-forcely broke through this round of Iron Bamboo Nails bursting from the ground.
Guided by telekinesis, the amethyst was swiftly dropped between Qin Heyi's wings, blasting through the earth's strata.
Although the seeds of the iron bamboo are tough and heat-resistant, they were still blown away by the force of the amethyst explosion. They emerged crookedly from the soil, and the green dragon's attack failed.
"Next, it's my turn. Prepare to die!"
At this moment, Zhuang Daihua had already unleashed her maximum range of burning aura. She reduced most of the plants and seeds that could be destroyed by the flames to ashes, and then charged towards the adult green dragon.
With her claws extending into sharp edges, she was about to test whether she could withstand the protection of nature's majesty and slay the green dragon directly.
Chapter 445 A New Dragon Girl, A New Beginning (Part 1)
The energy blades extending from between the claws ripped open the chest of the adult green dragon.
Even the dragon bones, as hard as refined gold, were left with extremely deep cut marks, but this was still not enough to inflict a fatal wound on the green dragon.
The burning aura continues to destroy the ever-regenerating vegetation within the woodland, so now...
"Zirong, have you run out of ideas?"
Having withstood a close-range energy blade, Golia made an assessment of the strength of both sides.
Next, it's time for it to make its move.
With wings far more developed than those of the two juvenile ancestral dragons, the green dragon seized its opportunity. A bottle of icy blue magic potion appeared in its hand.
Golia wasn't stupid. When she saw the Amethyst Dragon appear, she guessed that Zhuang Daihua had somehow acquired immunity to the toxins on the Amethyst Dragon.
Otherwise, how could the Purple Dragon move freely in the Green Dragon's lair, which is filled with poisonous miasma?
Fortunately, the green dragon's life of over a hundred years was not as aimless and aimless as those of wild dragons.
Outside, there's Shallow Water City and the Orange Dragon; inside, there are several restless young green dragons. It has always been preparing a trump card that can come in handy at a crucial moment—
The container alone was almost as tall as two people, and the potion inside was one of the Green Dragon's trump cards: an ice-type super-breath magic potion capable of altering the type of its breath.
Simply put, after drinking this, the green dragon can also breathe frost similar to that of the silver and white dragons, while the purple dragon, while immune to fire, will suffer double the damage from cold.
The frost breath spewed from the mouth of the adult green dragon spread in the blink of an eye, and the frost instantly washed away and neutralized the electric arcs and heat waves emanating from Zhuang Daihua's body.
Even without the support of a cold-type subspecies like a purebred silver or white dragon, a mid-tier adult green dragon at the seventh rank can still unleash considerable power with its Frost Breath.
Not to mention, combined with the amplifying effects of the Extreme Breath Potion, this sudden icy breath is even stronger than a normal silver dragon's.
"This time, let's see if you don't die!"
But problems soon arose... Just as the green dragon's chest wound was about to heal, a dazzling light suddenly appeared above the purple dragon's head.
That was the breath of the Purple Dragon, emanating from an incomparably sharp and swift sword.
Zhuang Daihua, in the human form of a half-reverted purple dragon, charged out with her sword, intending to seize the opportunity presented by the opening in the green dragon's chest and deliver a fatal blow to the heart, where the elemental energy was most concentrated between the ribs.
Once the heart is blasted open, even the most powerful aura will cease to be effective.
The instant the frost breath touched her, she controlled the purple dragon to release the burning halo in a majestic manner.
The heatwave surrounding his body was activated to its maximum, gradually reducing the green dragon's powerful frost breath to a minimum.
After being knocked away, Shiryu was controlled by Zhuang Daihua using a simpler control method. The now-reverted Shiryu relied on his wild instincts to drive all his fighting instincts, and his attacks were adapted to Zhuang Daihua's commands.
Immediately, the purple dragon, whose style had abruptly changed, pounced and began tearing at the small scales of the adult green dragon, ripping and gouging out their flesh.
Attacked, the blinded green dragon was immediately put on the defensive in the aerial battle. But the two giant dragons, locked in a fierce aerial combat, were not easy prey to target.
Zhuang Daihua concentrated the energy blade at the tip of the Banshee's Blessing sword and thrust it straight at Golia's wound, which was about to heal.
The blade of the Swift Sword was stuck between the green dragon's ribs. Even with Zhuang Daihua's own strength, including the Purple Dragon, the amulet, and other enhancements, it would be difficult to sever the adult green dragon's bones.
"hateful……"
Even if she wanted to twist the Banshee's Blessing and slit her heart with her sword, the opponent was protected by natural majesty. After the adult green dragon's muscles had fully grown, the abundant magical energy within them made it difficult for Zhuang Daihua to twist the blade.
Just like a sword clamped at both ends in a vise, no matter how sharp it is, it cannot cut anyone.
Even if there were energy blades, they were forcibly neutralized by the life force devoured by the majesty of nature.
Unable to land her first attack, she drew her sword and retreated. Zhuang Daihua retreated again, preparing for a new round of spells. The Purple Dragon was not afraid of fire magic. So, she would use her most powerful flames to finish off her opponent.
With the molten embers combined with the Banshee's Blessing, Zhuang Daihua, having acquired the blood of the ancestral purple dragon, was now able to unleash sixth-tier fire magic.
"Extinguish the Yang Flame!"
Soon, a "sun" formed from fire-elemental magic appeared at the tip of the staff. It was far less intense than burning coals at tens of thousands of degrees Celsius; the Yangyan Extinguishing Flame only reached a temperature of six thousand degrees.
However, because of the involvement of magic, the 6,000-degree Yangyan Burst is more lethal than the pure flames of burning coals at tens of thousands of degrees.
By unleashing Yangyan Annihilation in the direction where the purple and green dragons landed after their battle, Zhuang Daihua successfully engulfed both dragons in flames.
The purple dragon, who was immune to fire, was naturally unharmed, but the green dragon was engulfed in flames that were difficult to extinguish.
Even with the protection of spell resistance and the majesty of nature, many scales were still charred black.
"Dai Dai, have you noticed anything wrong with our surroundings?"
