Ashen Dragon-Chapter 253 - 178 Olivia (2)
Chapter 253: Chapter 178 Olivia (2)
Faced with this overwhelming oppression, Olivia’s spells could no longer be maintained.
Fragmented magical auras flickered around her, and her form suddenly expanded, transforming back into a Silver Dragon.
However, this young Silver Dragon, over ten meters long and a giant among mortals, looked like a small kitten before the Red Dragon, not even reaching its chest.
Olivia roared with all her might.
“Rawr…”
“Red, Red Dragon, you stand before the Silver Star, O, Olivia.”
...
She declared with a wavering voice.
The Silver Dragon barely maintained her composure, spreading her shiny silver wings and arching her back slightly, gazing at the Red Dragon with hostile eyes.
But even as she tried her best to maintain her stance, her wings still trembled slightly. Her claws firmly gripped the ground, and the gleaming silver scales almost stood up.
This bone-deep fear was almost impossible to hide.
Facing this frightened-little-beast-like threat, Cassius spoke unhurriedly.
“Don’t be nervous, Silver Dragon.”
“Perhaps we can talk about your trespass into my territory.”
Despite her body still trembling, the Silver Dragon mustered the courage to say, “T-This isn’t even your territory! You’re just a cruel invader.”
Cassius slowly unfolded his wings, casting a massive shadow that enveloped the entire Silver Dragon. A smirk appeared on the ferocious heads of the four corners.
“Alright, Silver Dragon, then I’ll first teach you—”
“What basic courtesy is.”
As the Red Dragon slowly advanced, a sense of despair crept into Olivia’s heart.
This kind of opponent was far beyond her capacity to resist.
But the larger the dragon, the clumsier their body would become, and a nearly thirty-meter-long Red Dragon like this one was no exception.
Maybe she could seize this flaw and find a final way out.
“Raa—”
Olivia let out a low roar, several scales on her chest lit up, and the silver glow became exceptionally dazzling—that was a spell inscription. Olivia wasn’t a so-called “Law-Addicted Dragon;” these were high-level runes drawn for her by her grandfather, her last means of survival.
In an instant, several spells were cast upon her, enhancing her speed and defense qualitatively.
But it was not over yet.
[Crown of Stars]
Hundreds of radiant star points appeared, circling above the Silver Dragon’s head and around her wings.
Their starlight reflected off the silver scales, casting light all around, making her entire body shine resplendently.
The Silver Dragon now looked somewhat divine, almost like those Heavenly creatures from the Heavenly Mountain. This so-called “Silver Star” title wasn’t unearned.
The starlight then transformed into dazzling meteors, streaking through the air and striking towards the Red Dragon.
Olivia seized the opportunity, flapping her wings and darting her body through the gap by the Red Dragon’s side, moving at high speed.
—She didn’t hope to inflict much damage on the Red Dragon, only to distract it long enough to make her escape.
However, the Red Dragon merely raised a claw, firing a straight line from its sharp talon.
[Magic Withering]
The moment that seemingly insignificant beam made contact, the surrounding brilliant starlight dimmed and then completely vanished.
Flying at high speed, Olivia was instantly terrified, suddenly remembering that the “King of Ashen” before her had the ability to cast Ninth Tier Spells!
But what surprised her even more came next.
The nearly thirty-meter-long massive body moved without a shred of sluggishness, even more agile than her, like lightning, blocking her path like a wall.
The Silver Dragon, flying at high speed, couldn’t even change direction in time and almost crashed into the Red Dragon’s chest.
Cassius swiftly extended a giant claw, easily grasping the Silver Dragon’s neck, lifting her like a kitten.
“Red Dragon! Let me go!”
Olivia struggled fiercely, thrashing her claws wildly in the air, unable to escape the Red Dragon’s grasp.
The disparity in strength and size was absolute. Before this nearly thirty-meter-long gigantic Red Dragon, the young Silver Dragon was indeed quite akin to a kitten.
The Red Dragon merely exerted a bit more force, flinging the Silver Dragon violently away.
Under this immense force, Olivia flew dozens of meters, rolling several times on the ground before stopping, with scratches appearing on her smooth silver membranous wings.
With great effort, Olivia propped up her forelimbs to stand again, but before she could react, the Red Dragon pounced like the wind.
“Silver Dragon, this is just a minor punishment.”
With one arm, Cassius pinned the Silver Dragon to the ground, speaking calmly.
[Vagnard’s Dragon Binding Magic Circle]
In the next moment, the runes on the ground suddenly lit up, and hundreds of chains emerged to tightly bind the young Silver Dragon, immobilizing her.
“Let me go!”
“I am a descendant of the Ancient Silver Dragon Osedro!”
Olivia continually twisted her body, shouting hoarsely.
She realized the difficulty of breaking free from this spell, noting that she might be trapped for a long time, so she brought up her grandfather.
The Silver Dragon struggled with all her might, only causing the magic chains to glow, burning her body and leaving black marks on her silvery scales.
Cassius gazed at the Silver Dragon trapped in the array, speaking unhurriedly, “You can choose to stay here for hundreds or thousands of years, or… submit to me.”
In this almost hopeless situation, Olivia’s heart was filled with fury and grievance. She shouted with all her strength, “Red Dragon, you delude yourself!”
“For a noble Silver Dragon to submit to a bandit-like Red Dragon, to an evil archenemy, is the world’s biggest joke!”

“Where is Angel? What did you do to him?”
Upon hearing this, Cassius couldn’t help but be somewhat amused.
He didn’t expect his “disguise” to occupy the Silver Dragon’s thoughts for so long and that she hadn’t recognized the so-called “Gold Dragon’s” true nature.
Thinking of this, Cassius let out a crazed villain-like laugh.
“Are all you Metal Dragons like this?”
“Silver Dragon, if you choose to resist to the end, your fate will be the same as that foolish Gold Dragon.”
“You—”
Olivia’s eyes reddened, even glistening with tears.
Hearing the Red Dragon’s words, she seemed to see that familiar figure being crushed mercilessly by the Red Dragon, that perpetually determined face consumed by flames.
“Damn evil dragon!”
She roared, tears streaming, “I will never, ever surrender to the likes of you! Not even in death!”
Cassius approached Olivia, bending down slightly with a taunting look, like examining prey, making the Silver Dragon feel a chill down her spine.
“Evil?”
“How could I be evil?”
The Red Dragon grinned, a hint of mockery in his tone.
The Silver Dragon glared at him, gnashing her teeth, “Cassius! Your crimes are known throughout Anzeta, your infamy is known all over the North.”
“You raise a massive Monster Legion, invading and expanding at will, greedily claiming all lands as your own. You plunder wealth, occupy cities, enslave people, and cruelly persecute the kind-hearted…”
She didn’t even catch her breath.
“If this isn’t evil, then there’s no evil left in the world!”
It seemed she had embraced a determined stance. Olivia cursed fiercely, exhausting every word in her dictionary.
However, Cassius merely shook his head lightly.
“That is only from your perspective. You are not Human, merely a bystander. Tsk tsk, this is the contradiction of you Silver Dragons, claiming to be close to Humans yet overly proud. You take on Human forms but cannot integrate into society, claiming to be close yet unable to view things objectively, more like treating them as… your pets.”
“Do you think Humans are a single entity?”
“Nobles are Human, but so are citizens, merchants, and even serfs. I just chose to eliminate a small portion of tumors to save the majority.”
“To tens of thousands of serfs, I am their supreme Savior. I rescued them from a state of utter indignity, from being called ‘Gray Beasts.’
“To those suffering under Vampires, I am the righteous Arbitrator. I eradicated those bats sucking down on people’s heads, exterminated the Rackman Family that oppressed people for centuries. They should only be grateful to me.”
“Believe it or not, to the majority, I’ve brought a better life. I established a new Kingdom, freeing them from the stagnant old North order…”
“And yet you only care about the insignificant obstacles? Are they truly ‘the justice of the majority?’
The Red Dragon gazed at her with a half-smile, concluding word by word:
“If my actions do not count as justice, then all the nobles of the North should be hanged on the gallows.”
