The Hundred-Headed Dragon launched the first attack, its massive dragon claws fiercely pounding the Mountain Dragon. The Mountain Dragon fearlessly fought back.
After a violent collision, several claw marks appeared on the Mountain Dragon's body, while the Hundred-Headed Dragon spewed hot dragon breath towards it.
The Mountain Dragon was directly pierced by hundreds of dragon breaths, and its enormous body collapsed, turning into countless rubble floating in the air.
"How can a fake dragon resist a real dragon? Hand over the young dragon, and I shall spare your life," sneered the Hundred-Headed Dragon, raising its head and looking down on Iris from above.
Two hundred eyes stared at Iris, making her dislike it; she wanted to chop off all one hundred heads of the dragon.
Just as Iris tightened her grip on her spear, the Hundred-Headed Dragon opened its mouth first, and dragon breath gushed out, attacking Iris. Iris swiftly dodged, but the dragon breath still grazed her left shoulder, leaving a grim wound.
"You deceitful vampire, I'll ask you one last time, hand over the young dragon, and I will spare you," the Hundred-Headed Dragon's tone became even more arrogant.
Iris stared daggers at the Hundred-Headed Dragon, then suddenly smiled, her eyes flickering with a dangerous glint. "Want the young dragon? Sure, take it."
The Stargate reappeared, and Baiying jumped out from it, burying her head into Iris's arms.
"Is it her?" Iris touched Baiying's soft body and asked softly.
The Hundred-Headed Dragon locked its gaze on Baiying in Iris's arms, its eyes filled with recognition. "Yes, she is indeed the young dragon I've been looking for."
Baiying looked up at Iris and said, "Mother..."
"Good girl, go," Iris let go and pushed Baiying towards the Hundred-Headed Dragon.
Just as Baiying took a few steps forward, she suddenly turned back, tears welled up in her eyes. "Mother, don't you want me anymore?"
Iris shrugged, expressing helplessness. "Of course not, I'm just temporarily parting ways."
Hearing this, Baiying cried, "Wuwawa~"
The Hundred-Headed Dragon watched this scene and thought to itself, "You were really cute when you were little, Your Majesty."
At this moment, the Hundred-Headed Dragon's attention was fully on Baiying. Iris placed her left hand behind her back and began to concentrate flames.
The Hundred-Headed Dragon keenly sensed a dangerous aura and stared at Iris alertly. "Deceitful vampire!"
"Ignite, double phoenix's cry!" Iris softly chanted the magic incantation, and flames spread around like flowing clouds, forming a fierce blaze. Iris in the center of the flames appeared exceptionally eerie, as if capable of burning all things.
Baiying summoned the Stargate and immediately entered it.
The next second, two gigantic phoenix silhouettes soared above Iris's head, flapping their wings and stirring up violent gusts.
"Squee!!!" A loud and piercing cry pierced the sky as the fire phoenixes flew towards the Hundred-Headed Dragon, and the dragon's tail raised a cloud of dust.
The Hundred-Headed Dragon spewed out dragon breath, and when the dragon breath met the scorching flames, an explosion occurred, engulfing an area of several kilometers.
The sound of the explosion echoed through the sky, causing mountains to tremble and forests to shatter. Some weaker monsters were knocked unconscious.
When the smoke cleared, the Hundred-Headed Dragon remained, and upon hearing the sound, Shizhi and Qizhou immediately made their way toward the mountaintop. Federer, like a buzzing in his ears, continued his rampage, slaughtering the Ruined Land Alliance forces. It seemed that he only had the power of terror in his eyes, and he paid no attention to everything happening around him.
Hundreds of wounds covered the body of the Hundred-headed Dragon, but none were fatal. It showed no sign of anger, as if it had anticipated everything.
"You played a trick on me, Your Majesty. You deliberately handed the young dragon to me, using the Consciousness Space to communicate with the dragon, so that you could launch a surprise attack," said the Hundred-headed Dragon.
"Thank goodness Your Majesty warned me, or else I would have fallen into your trap today," the Hundred-headed Dragon squinted its eyes and looked at the slender figure in the firelight.
"Is that so?" Iris raised an eyebrow, holding a gun in her right hand.
The Hundred-headed Dragon stopped speaking and launched an attack towards Iris. It spewed out its dragon breath, instantly enveloping Iris within three feet. Iris dodged to the side, but with a hundred heads, the Hundred-headed Dragon was capable of spewing out a hundred streams of dragon breath simultaneously. She couldn't avoid them all and could only wield her spear to resist.
"Bang!!!" Sparks flew as Iris took seven or eight steps back. There was a figure standing in front of her.
Jabril used the Holy Fire to create a barrier to protect Iris. Although it blocked the Hundred-headed Dragon's attack, it was still touched by a few specks of dragon breath.
Dragon breath was an extremely powerful fire-based attack. If it were an ordinary human, they would have long been reduced to ashes.
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs between me and the vampire?" the Hundred-headed Dragon stared at Jabril, "I won't kill someone without a name!"
"Seraph-Jabril," Jabril said calmly.
The Hundred-headed Dragon furrowed its brows, scrutinizing Jabril, and couldn't help but sneer, "How did a demon and an angel end up together?"
"I am appearing here as an older sister. Isn't it only natural for an older sister to protect her younger sister?" Jabril retorted.
"I don't recognize you as her older sister," Iris clasped her gun to her chest, expressionless.
"Oh..." Jabril dragged out her words, "Since you don't recognize me, then I'm just passing by. Carry on with what you were doing."
"Hey, don't go!" Iris stopped Jabril and said, "I was just saying things casually. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
Jabril stopped her steps and turned to look at Iris, "Since you acknowledge me as her older sister, then go quickly and find 'Jing.' Leave this dragon to me alone."
"Okay." Iris didn't hesitate and turned around to leave.
"Despicable vampire, don't even think about escaping," the Hundred-headed Dragon became anxious when Iris left.
Jabril stood in front of the Hundred-headed Dragon, "Your opponent is me."
"Holuguo!" the Hundred-headed Dragon roared. Its wings flapped, and its body shot towards Jabril like an arrow.
At this moment, a black dragon appeared below the cliff. The black mist shrouded half of the sky.
Iris noticed the teleportation portal-like fluctuations below the cliff and furrowed her brows, "Could 'Jing' be under the cliff?"
At that moment, Qizhou and Shizhi also arrived here and saw the black dragon below the cliff. They widened their eyes in astonishment.
"Why is Holuguo still alive? Didn't he die in the war against the Ruined Land?" Shizhi muttered to herself, looking shocked.
"Qizhou, Shizhi, cover me as I go under the cliff," Iris ordered.
Qizhou immediately understood what she intended to do and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Qizhou raised his hand and summoned a legion of skeletons, countless skeletons climbing out from underground.
Holuguo couldn't find Iris's location for a moment and could only activate the Realm of Despair, trying to envelop the entire cliff within it.
"Roar!"
Hurogu let out a dragon roar that shook the sky.
In an instant, the cliff below was filled with howling winds, rolling dark clouds, coiling lightning, and pouring rain.
The power of the Despair Domain was formidable; it not only hindered visibility but also disrupted the senses of mages and their casting speed.
Iris, a mage in the Skeleton Legion, had arrived below the cliff. She saw a round water mirror on the ground, emitting a sparkling blue light.
"There must be something similar to a teleportation portal inside. 'Scenery' should be in there." Iris immediately stepped into it and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
