Chapter 40: Getting Back on Your Feet
Is the red dragon truly fearless? The answer is clearly no! Otherwise, why would Thor have had to hide and run around in the days immediately after his birth?
He was simply certain that these blue dragons wouldn't dare to really kill him, which is why he acted without any restraint.
Red and blue baby dragons soared in the sky, their postures like fierce birds of prey, and they would occasionally collide violently.
With his more agile flight, Thor always managed to gain the upper hand, shooting down one blue dragon hatchling after another from mid-air, while also leaving himself with many gruesome wounds.
Taking advantage of the lull in their fighting, the already restless white dragons swarmed towards the food they hadn't finished eating, wolfing it down like hungry ghosts reincarnated.
…………
As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. Even though Thor is much stronger than the red dragons of the same age, he inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position when facing a large number of blue dragons that were a year older than him.
As he collided violently with one of the blue dragon hatchlings once again, the remaining three blue dragons surrounded him from all directions, their chests and bellies bulging high, and blinding lightning flashing from their open throats.
"Damn red dragon, let's show you what we're made of!"
Three dazzling bolts of lightning shot out from their mouths, accompanied by deafening thunder and the pungent smell of ozone emanating from the scorched air.
The Blue Dragon's breath attack is the longest-range and fastest of all five dragons, giving its opponents absolutely no chance to dodge.
By the time Thor realized what was happening, the lightning, spreading like tree branches, was already right in front of him. He only had time to wrap his large wings around himself before he was instantly enveloped in the lightning.
Large patches of scarlet scales exploded outwards, dragon blood splattered out, and intense pain followed immediately.
Thanks to the red dragon's stronger elemental resistance compared to the other five chromatic dragons, Thor managed to avoid being knocked unconscious by the electric shock, but his muscles were still paralyzed and stiffened, causing him to fall uncontrollably downwards.
"Sol, watch out!"
"That damn blue lizard, all it does is gang up on the weak!"
Just as he was bracing himself for a violent impact, out of the corner of his eye, he saw two red shadows hurtling toward him at high speed.
Sistana and Culp flapped their wings with all their might and managed to grab Thor's body before he hit the ground. Although they failed to stop him and were instead carried to the ground by the huge impact, they undoubtedly greatly reduced the force of the impact Thor would have to endure.
boom!!
A heavy impact rang out, sending yellow earth and dust flying everywhere.
Thor winced in pain, and a sense of surprise rose in his heart as he looked at Sistana and Calp, who had fallen to the side.
Although his two blood relatives were foolish and weak, they unexpectedly showed some of the Red Dragon's spirit at the crucial moment.
"Finally, we beat that damn guy to a pulp!"
"Two more red dragons have arrived!"
"They're just two fledgling dragons, no need to bother with them."
Three blue dragons roared excitedly from the sky. They folded their broad wings and began to swoop down in pursuit of their victory.
Thor shook his slightly dizzy head, feeling a dull ache in his left wing. The wing bone inside must have been broken, and he probably wouldn't be able to fly for a while.
Facing the three blue dragon cubs that had fallen from the sky, he showed no fear whatsoever. Large amounts of smoke billowed from his open mouth, spreading outwards like mercury spilling onto the ground.
"I'm a little surprised that you two idiots dared to come and help. I'll deal with the strongest one later, you two hold off the other two."
Sistana and Kalp, their backs hunched in tension, their scarlet scales bursting open, instinctively retorted upon hearing this.
"Damn it! Who wants to help you? I'm just upholding the honor of the Red Dragon!"
"You idiot, don't take yourself too seriously."
Thor blinked dismissively, using the nictitating membrane outside his eyeball to scrape away the bloodstains and dust from his pupil.
He thought he was in for a beating, but with the help of these two blood relatives, things might turn out differently.
From the very beginning, he never expected to get along peacefully with these young dragons, nor did he ever think of developing his power in a low-key and stealthy manner.
Since he's not going to die anyway, why should he avoid the opponent's sharp edge?
It would be better to make a scene, to unleash a punch to vent the flames and avoid a hundred more blows. This way, one can demonstrate one's strength and gain more spiritual essence.
The three blue dragon cubs, which were swooping down, saw the smoke surrounding Thor and hurriedly stopped their descent, their eyes filled with fear.
They hadn't forgotten how Zephyr had been blown away. If they plunged headfirst into the smoke, that despicable red dragon might seize the opportunity to set it on fire, which would be dangerous.
When Thor saw them stop, a sinister smile immediately appeared on his lips as he seized every opportunity to mock them.
"You blue coward, why dare you step forward? Are you afraid of me?!"
The blue dragon cubs hovering in mid-air could not stand his arrogant attitude. One of them, enduring the emptiness in its body, opened its mouth again and spat out a winding, linear bolt of lightning.
The pervasive gas met the blue and white lightning and burst into flames with a loud "boom," with raging flames rising like mushrooms and shockwaves kicking up clouds of dust.
A scorching hot wind blew in their faces, making the three blue dragons sway slightly, but they still let out mocking growls.
"That's just a petty trick. Let's see how arrogant you can be now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ferocious red figure suddenly rushed out from the smoke and dust kicked up by the explosion below.
Thor struggled to flap his injured wings, leaving trails of blood in his wake, and managed to fly up from the ground, heading straight for the largest blue dragon cub.
The blue dragon cub had no idea that the other party would dare to retaliate. It was immediately slammed into the body, and Thor's red-scaled claws gripped its body firmly. Thor's fangs opened wide and bit straight at the cub's long neck.
A flicker of panic crossed the blue dragon's eyes, quickly replaced by ferocity. It too brandished its claws and launched a fierce counterattack.
Red and blue scales flew everywhere, and dragon blood splattered incessantly. The next moment, the two young dragons fell from mid-air and crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.
Even so, they did not separate, and fought each other almost frantically, rolling around on the desolate dirt and sand, leaving bloodstains in their wake.
"Verex!"
"Damn it! We're here to help you!"
The sudden turn of events startled the remaining two blue dragon cubs for a moment; they flapped their wings, trying to join the battle.
However, two scarlet figures suddenly appeared from the side. Sistana and Kalp suppressed their fear and stood in front of the two blue dragon hatchlings, roaring loudly.
"Your opponent is me!"
"Don't even think about going there!"
Looking at the two red dragon hatchlings, each less than ten feet long, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the two blue dragon calves.
"It's just a fledgling, yet it dares to stand in our way!"
"Then let's take care of you first!"
In the next instant, the red hatchling and the blue young dragon collided with a deafening roar. As claws and teeth swung, blood and scales splattered everywhere, and Sistana and Kalp were instantly overwhelmed.
However, the red dragons were far more resilient and physically stronger than the blue dragons. Even though they were smaller, they managed to hold on for a while.
In that brief moment of delay, Thor had already raised his head from the blue dragon hatchling named Verix, his mouth agape and dripping with blood.
His pale golden pupils turned red from being engorged with blood as he glared fiercely at the two remaining baby dragons not far away.
