Chapter 434 - 334: Mysterious Frenzied Flame, Iron Dragon Lady: Is That Gordon?
The handling of the Undead Nest and the advancement of the Dragon Forging Transformation Ceremony were formally entrusted to Black Dragon Seraphina.
Green Dragon Ludwig will also participate as an important figure.
After respectfully accepting the leader’s instructions in Needleleaf Valley, the black dragon did not linger. She quickly flapped her wings and agilely flew into the sky, transforming into a shadow that darted into the distance to carry out her new assignment.
Galos patrolled the warm valley for a moment, eventually finding a stone slab exposed to the sun’s heat, smooth and enormous.
He lay upon it steadily.
After a satisfied low growl, the Red Iron Dragon stretched his massive body, enjoying the warm afternoon sunlight.
Simultaneously, the giant dragon claw grasped gemstones and precious metals that gleamed with an enticing luster, and with black oil that was thick and scalding, devoured them as if crunching mineral ore, with the crackle of hard substances shattering under dragon teeth clearly audible.
He was gradually recovering the weakened state of his body, caused by the Chaotic Fire and the Witch Demon Curse.
While pretending to nap and lazily sunbathing.
Through an invisible bond deep within the bloodline, Galos initiated mental communication with the Iron Dragon Solrog on the other side.
"Are you there?"
"I am here."
Almost immediately, a succinct and calm response came from Solrog.
Upon receiving the reply, Galos inquired directly with intent: "Solrog, have you established a stable bloodline connection with Mother?"
The iron dragon gently nodded his head, confirming with a wave of consciousness.
"It’s completed. The connection is stable and can facilitate communication anytime."
After saying this, his spiritual wave became slightly heavier, as he continued: "Following your previous suggestion, I attempted to establish a bloodline connection with our biological father, Red Dragon Gorsas, hoping to perceive his condition."
"But as expected, it was as you predicted."
"As soon as my Spiritual Silk touched the edge of his thought through blood resonance, it was instantly incinerated by a force of frenzy, chaos, indescribable, as if formed of pure, brutal fiery spirit."
"That substantive fiery spiritual power is extremely abnormal, and feels very dangerous to me."
"Had I not reacted swiftly and forcefully severed the connection at the first moment, that eerie flame might have backfired along the spiritual link, causing self-immolation."
The seemingly sleeping Galos suddenly opened his eyes, revealing deep thought within his vertical pupils.
"Is this perhaps the ’Chaotic Flame’ Mother once mentioned?"
During the last meeting in the Celestial Pit Territory with Iron Dragon Lady Letitia, Galos had heard her recount some past events about Red Dragon Father Gorsas.
According to Iron Dragon Lady’s description:
Gorsas’s world-famous madness and chaos were not entirely innate.
Initially, he was by nature a member of the chaotic faction of the Five-Colored Dragon, yet he also knew how to weigh pros and cons and understand the ways of advance and retreat. Relying on his powerful strength and shrewdness in situations where strength couldn’t solve problems, he made a notorious name for himself in crisis-ridden Sel Wilderness and claimed a spot.
However, later, a life-altering event occurred to him.
Since then, Gorsas unwittingly and seemingly irreversibly became increasingly chaotic and mad, distancing himself even from kin, developing a tendency to physically clash with his partner Iron Dragon Letitia, making communication increasingly difficult.
The cause of that event was:
One day, a massive meteoric event with burning flames from outer space, accompanied by earth-rending roar and dazzling glow, landed in a specific area of Sel Wilderness.
The impact site was not far from Gorsas’s nest.
Gorsas, who first discovered the earth-shattering commotion, swiftly flew off to investigate.
Confident in his strong capability, he approached the ominously emanating meteoric object closely, even using his dragon claw to touch its scorching surface.
An astonishing transformation happened with his contact.
The peculiar flame burning on that meteor appeared to find a better fuel, all departing from the meteorite and entering his body.
Gorsas felt an unprecedented thrill and delight.
Because the flame’s power level exceeded that of his Red Dragon Fire, being more ferocious, fiery, and destructive.
Afterwards, under the continuous tempering and fusion with the meteoric flame, his body’s strength and fiery prowess advanced by leaps and bounds, far exceeding the normal limits of any red dragon.
Further cheering him was the awakening of the precious ancestral bloodline, drowning him with the ecstasy of power surge.
Yet, in tandem with this swift enhancement of power, his madness and chaos of the mental realm also intensified uncontrollably.
The memory in the Dragon’s Legacy contained no record of such an eerie flame.
Iron Dragon Letitia, observing Gorsas’s astonishing transformation, named it ’Chaotic Flame.’
Once she realized that the root of Gorsas’s increasing irritability and loss of reason was most likely the Chaotic Flame, she attempted multiple persuasions for Gorsas to find means of constraining or even expelling the Chaotic Flame from his body, striving to restore sanity.
However, she faced stern refusal from Gorsas.
A red dragon who, in life, chased and revered sheer power, wholly embraced the changes brought by the Chaotic Flame.
He was aware of his transformation but relished it, even more fervently and passionately embracing it, devoid of any resistance.
