Giant Dragon Lord: Starting from Daily Intelligence

Chapter 545: Chapter 417: Flame Star River and A Maggot in the Bone

Two streaks of light shot toward the Blazing Phoenix in the sky, carrying an aura powerful enough to tear through anything.

This time, the two Javelins, enveloped in Domain Power, weren’t instantly melted like the ordinary ones before them upon entering the Blazing Phoenix’s Flame Domain.

Boosted by Domain Power, the Javelins temporarily withstood the intense heat of the Flame Domain.

The two Javelins were like a pair of dragons parting the sea, unstoppably tearing through the sky of fire to reach the Blazing Phoenix.

A flicker of horror finally appeared in the Blazing Phoenix’s eyes.

It tried to dodge.

But suppressed by Kado’s Gravity Domain, its movements were slow and clumsy.

It could only watch helplessly as the two approaching Javelins grew larger and larger in its vision.

SQUELCH!

The muffled thud of sharp points sinking into flesh.

One Javelin pierced its flaming right wing, while the other grazed its chest, tearing away several crimson feathers.

The searing pain caused the Blazing Phoenix’s aura to falter for an instant.

Its Flame Domain wavered violently for a moment as its true body sustained a grievous injury.

At that very moment—

"ROAR!"

Sun, who had been struggling painfully in midair against the berserk energy of the Sun Crown Stone, suddenly snapped its massive head up.

Its golden eyes, unfocused from the pain, sharpened in an instant.

A torrent of Solar Power, more violent and searing than ever before, erupted from its body without reservation!

"Solar Furnace!"

Sun’s body became a blazing sun as it let out a heaven-shaking roar.

It beat its giant wings, letting golden Dragon Blood spray through the air.

Filled with a world-destroying resolve to take the Blazing Phoenix down with it, Sun charged violently forward!

This was a duel of the purest Origin Power!

The final collision between the sun and the Flame!

Fear finally showed in the Blazing Phoenix’s eyes.

It could feel a fatal, world-ending threat radiating from the golden sun before it.

Above, Moonlight commanded an endless Ice Wind storm and Golden Dragon clones that fought without fear of death.

Below, Kado’s Gravity Domain pinned it down while Gordo and Ug readied their next volley of Javelins.

And now, the Golden Dragon, Sun, was charging again, ignoring its own injuries.

An ambush by six Domain Level Powerhouses!

Six Domain Level Powerhouses!

It could never hope to match such a lineup, not even at its peak, let alone in its current injured state.

"SCREEE!"

The Blazing Phoenix let out a piercing shriek filled with endless grief, indignation, and madness.

Its blood-red eyes swept over Raylo below, then to Moonlight and Sun in the sky, searing their hateful faces deep into its very soul.

’I have no chance of turning this around today.’

’If I keep fighting, the only outcome is my own demise!’

’I can’t accept this!’

But it calmed itself, knowing it had to end this battle immediately.

The Blazing Phoenix abruptly retracted its Flame Domain, compressing and condensing all the Flame around its body.

In an instant, its massive body became an incredibly dense, blindingly brilliant, crimson Fireball.

It was about to use its final reserves of Power to cast the Phoenix Race’s Talent Magic.

"Nirvana Fire!"

"BOOM!"

The crimson Fireball erupted!

But this time, the explosion produced no shockwave, no sound at all.

It was like a giant, magnificent firework blooming silently in the night sky.

In that instant of explosion, the Blazing Phoenix’s massive body underwent Decomposition into billions of tiny, shimmering crimson motes of Flame.

As if alive, these motes of light formed a vast, boundless Flame Star River that streamed toward the distant sky.

With the Blazing Phoenix’s escape, the curtain finally fell on this earth-shattering battle.

Sun retracted its Domain as well. Its massive body swayed slightly in midair, its aura in disarray.

Clearly, the strain of consuming the Sun Crown Stone was far more severe than it appeared.

It needed time and a safe place to digest and absorb the immense energy contained within the strange stone.

"Kado!"

Raylo’s voice rang out from below.

"We’re heading back!"

"Yes, Sir!"

After losing its Energy Source, the sky-blotting canopy of volcanic ash began to slowly settle and dissipate.

Sunlight once again fell upon the devastated land.

The Giant Legion marched at the vanguard. Many of them had been injured during the volcanic eruption, but thankfully, there had been no fatalities.

For the tough, thick-skinned Hill Giants, any non-fatal wound could be healed with a period of rest.

Raylo rode Baofeng, flying high above the column.

His gaze periodically shifted to the golden Giant Dragon beside him.

Sun’s aura was highly unstable.

At times it was as violent as a blazing sun, at others as faint as a candle flame.

The column advanced slowly, in silence.

When they finally left the Scorched Earth—a barren wasteland utterly destroyed by the volcano—and set foot once more in the strangely colored forest.

Everyone’s spirits lifted, if only a little.
