Looking at the red dragon before her, Volper nodded in satisfaction. After obtaining the blood of her ancestors, her original form had also reached a length of twenty-three meters.
Before its transformation, the dragon's body was twenty meters long.
Closely following behind the red dragon is the blue dragon, which serves to restrain the dragon pack and the red dragon.
The two blue dragons, working together, can stabilize the red dragon above and suppress the dragon horde below.
They were clever enough to confirm that the dragon's roar had come from Volper. Instead of baring their teeth at the enemy like the red dragon, they first examined the weapons in the purple dragon's hands.
Generally, dragons can transform into human form directly based on their beautiful appearance. Some dragons that are not beautiful enough can only transform into humans later through transformation magic.
Regardless of the type, transforming into a human will affect one's strength to some extent. Unless it's a metal dragon specifically trained to fight in human form, it's always more powerful to revert to its original form.
Now, their opponent is the Purple Dragon, which is no less powerful than the Red Dragon! A near-perfect dragon species, possessing extraordinary charm, astonishing intelligence, and terrifying strength.
The other party is still in human form. Even a purple dragon wouldn't be so arrogant in the face of so many dragons, right?
……
Nodding in approval at the composition of this dragon horde, Volper observed that what he was seeing was a classic cooperative pattern used by most dragon hordes.
Red dragons are responsible for fighting tough battles, blue dragons for uniting the dragon horde and establishing dominance, green dragons for plotting and intrigue, and black dragons for the dirty work and assassinations.
As for white dragons, most dragon herds will not accept white dragon eggs or cubs.
If they hadn't fought amongst themselves over the treasure, these dragons might have actually accomplished something truly remarkable in Pale Moon City.
"Roar! Purple Dragon, remnant of the Three-Tailed Dragon Queen, despicable reptile waiting for revenge in hell! You! Dare to roar at us?"
Speaking in the proper, red dragon tone, this lower-level eighth-rank red dragon no longer held back upon seeing the dragons gathering.
Here, we'll beat this purple dragon half to death, and in turn, make this outcast who enjoys ruling other dragons submit to the oppressive power of their dragon horde!
"fool."
With those two words uttered softly, Volper immediately spread his wings and took to the air. A surge of energy, transforming him into a demon, erupted from his body!
"Your dragons are quite impressive; they'll soon be my and the mistresses' pets. Come! It's time for you to experience the punishment of the Deep Purple Duchess—"
Unlike Ulu the Golden Dragon, who lazes around on the outskirts of the city, Volper already possesses extraordinary strength and a priceless treasure.
As an adult dragon herself, these greenhorns in front of her were not enough to make her feel fatally threatened.
Wielding the twin scythes of the Odogaron, True Sin's scarlet blades immediately swirled and danced in the air, tearing open the scales on the red dragon's forehead along with her movements.
"Roar! How dare you—"
There was nothing he wouldn't dare to do. The red dragon had just roared, preparing to swat down the enemy that was attacking its head like a fly, when Volper already made his move—
She then followed the red dragon's head, spinning and slashing as she used her double scythes to tear open the dragon's neck, back, and tail.
"Awesome! Qin He, did you see that? Wolper is really amazing—"
Upon seeing the battle, Zhong Xiling immediately contacted Qin He. It was the first time she had faced so many colorful dragons.
“Indeed, the outcome isn’t really important. Volper is quite capable; in the end, it all comes down to whether she can completely subdue these dragons.”
With Volper's strength, he could even directly kill the weaker dragons with Blade Breath and other dark and undead magic.
However, she wanted a living dragon—even a seemingly dull white dragon would be a very good subordinate.
The scythe-like blades ripped open the red dragon's back, leaving a shallow wound. However, the gash inflicted by the Odogaron's power was a laceration that was difficult to heal—
"Roar! Reveal your true form, you lowly purple dragon, I will tear you to pieces!"
The red dragon immediately opened its blood-red maw, ready to tear its enemy to pieces. If Volper didn't revert to his original form to fight, it would devour him alive!
"What kind of servant clamors to see their master? Besides, your master isn't me, but the great Dragon Emperor Qin He... However, I suppose a country bumpkin like you has never even heard of his title?"
With a nimble step, Volper dodged the red dragon's gaping maw that could crush the ground. Instead, her elegant leather boots landed on the dragon's steaming nostrils after the clash!
"Useless!"
Pulling out the long whip from the leg ring, Volper seized the moment when the red dragon was momentarily stunned and lashed it hard across its ferocious skull!
As its scales split open and flesh tore apart, a pain far more intense than its own flames ignited the red dragon's frenzy.
It hadn't been fighting for long, and yet the Purple Dragon had stepped on its head? And...and whipped it?
When had it ever suffered such an injustice? The red dragon immediately roared furiously, its saber-like teeth moving with its claws.
Claw strikes, tail sweeps, bites, breath attacks—a series of exchanges, but all in vain. Volper either dodged each attack or relied on his physical prowess and equipment to withstand them, until he was surrounded by the blue dragon.
"Zilong! You shouldn't have offended us."
Although the whereabouts of the golden dragon and the two adventurers are still unknown, the rest of the dragons have no choice but to move.
In an instant, a red dragon, two blue dragons, and three terrifying monsters of the lower eighth rank chased after the graceful woman in black with purple hair.
The two blue dragons weren't pushovers; they knew simple attacks wouldn't break through the purple dragon's armor. So they imbued their entire bodies with lightning—
Increase your attack power and speed, try to keep up with the red and purple dragons' movements, and look for opportunities to use electricity to attack the parts under their armor.
Volper was almost completely naked, from his thighs to his torso. Blue Dragon refused to believe that he couldn't harm Purple Dragon like this.
"You're too close, move aside."
With a tone as if calling to a puppy, Volper followed up by swinging his scythe even more, directly unleashing a powerful energy slash with his sharp breath!
Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling have also mastered this ability thoroughly. They know the Purple Dragon's flames, its powerful light breath, and its most practical blade breath.
In their case, this ability manifests as the slashing waves they can unleash at will. Even in hand-to-hand combat, the two can cleave their enemies with these slashing waves.
This sharp breath attack struck at the precise angle of the Odogaron's twin scythes. With no way to block, the two blue dragons had no choice but to retreat!
With his current human-like physical abilities alone, Volper was more than capable of withstanding the red dragon's powerful tail sweep.
While her equipment played a part, the fact that she could stand still already demonstrated that her strength was not to be underestimated.
"Look at you all, so embarrassing! How about this—I'll give you a chance! What follows is a real dragon duel, and I'll take on ten of you!"
With a flick of his body, the massive form of the Purple Dragon appeared in the air. Grabbing the Red Dragon's horns, Volper slammed his opponent down towards the Blue Dragon.
The suppression of the three dragons was completed immediately. Only then did the green and black dragons behind them realize that their enemy was actually a terrifying purple dragon of the eighth rank with signs of ancestral regression!
"You...very good! For Her Majesty the Dragon Queen, I will raise you, this bastard of the purple dragon, like a dog."
The enraged red dragon disregarded everything; the raging flames engulfing its body foreshadowed a spectacular battle between one dragon and ten.
However, if this red dragon knew that its queen, Tiamat, had personally helped Volper achieve his ancestral reversion, its expression would probably be much more interesting.
Chapter 277 All Captured Alive
Using an identification spell, the green dragons saw Volper's identity—
Atavistic Purple Dragon (ancestral transformation).
Tiamat initially helped Volper gain the opportunity for bloodline reversion. If Volper can seize the opportunity for bloodline purification, he can become a progenitor dragon.
Bahamut bestowed the same gift upon Ullu, so the two dragons now possess the same superior bloodline as Flameliu.
With just a little more effort, they will become genuine Ancestral Dragons. Their future achievements will definitely be remarkable.
While they can hardly be compared to individuals like Yan Ling who are born with ancestral bloodlines, possessing ancestral powers at the early stages of adulthood makes them absolutely capable of being regarded as legends in the human realm.
A white dragon that has reverted to its ancestral form and possesses sufficient power can freeze parts of the ocean during battle. If magic is used, it can even cause a sudden drop in temperature across the continent.
Even after ascending to godhood, the bloodline differences between dragons will be erased. In the end, only the accumulation of magic and one's own strength will determine one's power.
Currently in its ancestral stage, if war is waged without considering costs such as the destruction of cities, this purple dragon definitely has the strength to repel the dragon horde, and even capture a few green and black dragons.
Even in a fight to the death, the odds of winning wouldn't exceed 30%. Not to mention, this Purple Dragon is clearly not a penniless, fleeing dragon... just her Odogaron armor alone is impressive.
Quickly calculating the outcome of the battle, the green dragon immediately transmitted its voice to the blue dragon:
"Run! This purple dragon is definitely not someone we can afford to mess with. That useless idiot Bai Lin isn't even fit to cover our retreat. If we don't run now... we'll become slaves of the Rainbow Dragon!"
The green dragons were implying that if the three black dragons attacked together, there would still be a chance to hold off Volper.
……
"Feixue, what do you think will be the final result of Volper's battle?"
Having finished serving Qin He, Fei Xue cleansed her body with the purple lightning that enveloped her.
The obedient kitten snuggled into Qin He's arms and gazed at the projection of the magic communication system.
Qin He hoped that every single one of these dragons would become warriors protecting Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling.
Volper, who was capable of commanding all the dragons, was the first commander designated by Qin He.
"Is it possible that we can't capture them all alive?"
Scarlet Snow's conclusion is not without merit; the Green Dragon's intention to retreat has already begun to take hold. If the Green Dragon flees during the battle, then the Black Dragon and White Dragon may also scatter and leave.
The red dragon is the most likely to be captured alive, while the two blue dragons are harder to say.
If it were a matter of killing these dragons, Volper was absolutely capable of doing so. The dragon blood and all the flesh of the colorful dragons could be used to help Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling further cultivate their Dragon Origin Battle Qi.
However, pure dragon blood can also acquire battle qi. With their current accumulation, they can advance to the next level without any need to rush to accumulate energy.
Qin He allowed Volper to capture the dragon for their long-term development.
By organizing such a dragon horde, Wolper could attempt to plunder more dragon blood and wealth for Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling.
In fact, occupying a city is the dragon's most ingenious way to make money.
After all, Volper is a dragon with enough power and wisdom; she is absolutely capable of leading her dragon horde to conquer several city-states.
Build trade routes and trade with elves and dwarves. Subdue your followers and build your own dragon castle.
They are very different from the dragon pack that mixes blue and green dragons in the north. They live in deserts and forests, and the dragon pack has to rob caravans to get treasure.
However, both Pale Moon City and Cold Winter City are lucrative territories.
Beyond the desert lies another vast expanse of glaciers and polar regions experiencing drastic climate change.
The frost giants there were on a completely different level from those Qin Xinru and her companions had faced. It was said that an ambitious white dragon queen also resided there, whose tribe rivaled the reigning frost giants.
The reason why ice fields are adjacent to deserts remains a mystery.
“I think this group of dragons will be defeated by Wald; they won’t have a chance to escape.”
Qin He was very optimistic about Wald's abilities and thus came to this seemingly unrealistic conclusion.
……
“Red dragon, you are as pathetic and noisy as a brass dragon. The damage you have done to me is inversely proportional to your raging, impotent howls.”
The red dragon clashed head-on with Volper, and although its proud power was completely suppressed by the ancestral purple dragon, its body was struggling on the verge of collapse.
But the red dragon's fighting spirit did not diminish. Even though its bones were making a scraping sound as if it was about to collapse under the strain, it still held off Volper's attacks.
Just now, the two blue dragons responded to Noyas's concerns. They wanted to ensure that the dragon herd did not suffer any losses and to snatch life from this regressed purple dragon.
Moreover, they also need to be wary of attacks from the golden dragon and the adventurers in the city.
Now, the two blue dragons sought an opportunity to get close and support the injured red dragon. Lightning, fire, and Volper's dark magic clashed and intertwined.
After all, these were dragons that had lived for over a hundred years and grown under the nurturing of the dragon pack. Knowing that this wouldn't allow them to utilize the advantages of the dragon pack, they had to take turns attacking.
This requires the red dragon to retreat while the other dragons swarm in to create an opportunity.
Crushed teeth and scalding dragon blood spurted from the red dragon's mouth, which had been slapped across the face by Volper. The red dragon was quickly pulled away, and the two blue dragons, facing Volper's fierce tail whip, were both blasted back.
An irresistible force was about to sweep towards the black dragon that was attempting a sneak attack.
Unlike the red dragon, which possesses the strength of an eighth-tier lower-level dragon and a powerful physique, if the purple dragon were to be directly hit by its tail whip, they would definitely be seriously injured.
Volper understood this as well, which is why he held back in his attack on the red dragon. His breath, with its deadly energy blades, only managed to rip off the dragon's scales and flesh.
Having subdued the unfortunate black dragon, Volper was about to smash its withered head with a tail swipe. But Volper suddenly changed tactics, using his agile tail to ensnare the black dragon.
She pulled the black dragon away from its spot and swung it at the other two black dragons.
By deliberately letting them fly backward like bowling balls, Volper was testing the dragon herd's unity. If they didn't trust the red and blue dragons, these black dragons would take advantage of the moment they were thrown away to escape.
The result was excellent, much to the satisfaction of both Wolper and Qin He. The three black dragons stabilized themselves in mid-air, and after a chaotic series of aerial maneuvers, they landed to prepare for another approach.
The fact that they showed no intention of retreating proves that the red dragon, the blue dragon, and these black dragons are a unified whole.
Next, we'll see how the cunning green dragon and the potentially marginalized white dragon fared—if they also didn't choose to flee immediately, then the stability of this fleeing dragon herd could initially reassure Volper.
After smashing through the blue dragon blocking her path, Volper unleashed her blinding breath, a skill she possessed as a purple dragon. Even with prior warning, the dazzling light forced the blue dragon to close its eyes to avoid truly going blind.
Despite the fear, the three-headed green dragon unleashed its poisonous breath and natural magic.
Breaking through the shattered floor tiles, terrifying demonic vines, covered in thorns, suddenly sprouted from the ground, attempting to bind Volper in place for a while.
