Ashen Dragon-Chapter 458 - 380 The Red Dragons Dinner
Chapter 458: Chapter 380: The Red Dragon’s Dinner Chapter 458 -380: The Red Dragon’s Dinner Hearing the title “Finger Cutter,” the fire giant Hamid’s veins bulged and his eyes seemed to ignite, smoke curling from his body.
He pulled out the gold-inlaid scimitar from his waist again, its tip glinting coldly as he pointed it towards the source of the voice.
“Finally, I have caught you!”
“What are your intentions? How dare you insult a noble fire giant, an emir sent by the great Sultan to govern you!”
“Are you questioning the rule of the great Sultan, the guidance of the Lord of Flames?”
Hamid was fabricating a crime.
He wanted to let this ignorant fellow see his power.
He was establishing his authority!
One must know that the fire giants practiced tyranny, and the noble fire giants who served as pasha and emir represented the Sultan’s will.
There was a chasm-like status gap between the noble fire giants and the commoners.
The guests at the banquet quickly made way, only to see that the direction of the scimitar’s tip was an unremarkable ordinary fire giant wearing a headscarf.
“What is your name?”
Hamid questioned, a cruel smile appearing on his face.
However, the fire giant raised his head, staring directly at the extraordinarily tall noble fire giant, a mocking smile appearing on his face.
“Heh heh, that’s not important.”
“Dear Lord Hamid, do you recognize this?”
Under the curious gazes of the fire giants, he calmly took out a ring from his pocket.
A bright gold ring, its surface glowing with a flame aura.
“Hiss—”
“This actually is…”
“How, how is this possible?”
All the fire giants present who saw the ring looked panicked and gasped, including the noble fire giant Hamid.
The reason was simple—this was the ring Hamid had lost, the ring worn on the finger cut off by a human!
“You… who are you really?”
“How did you get in!”
“Why is this ring in your hands!”
Hamid concealed his fleeting surprise, feigning strength, and loudly questioned.
His mind was a bit chaotic already. In his view, this “fire giant” in front of him was definitely not pretending!
“Of course, through a secret passage. The fire dwarves who built this city hate you to the core.”
“Tsk tsk, you fire giants pride yourselves on being the most civilized and intelligent race in the Plane of Fire elements.”
“But it seems you’re not much better, not even as capable as my ogre subordinates.”
“Who I am—”
The “fire giant’s” body flashed with tiny auroras of mana, seemingly on the verge of violent changes.
“Arrogant fool, you—”
“Boom!”
Just as Hamid was about to retort, he found the figure in front of him rapidly expanding, forcing him to look up.
“By the Lord of Flames…”
“How is this possible…”
Under the shadow, the noble fire giant muttered to himself.
A massive Red Dragon abruptly appeared, its towering back smashing the glass chandelier on the ceiling, its wide wings enveloping half the hall.
Cassius slightly lowered his head, using his golden pupils to look down at the noble fire giant beneath him, a grim smile appearing on his dragon face.
“It is already so obvious, can’t you guess?”
He then finished the latter half of his sentence and continued mockingly:
“I am the ruler of the nation you seek to destroy, the lord you wish to trample underfoot, dear Lord Hamid.”
The noble fire giant trembled all over, muttering incessantly: “Ancestral dragon… no, he is even bigger than an ancient Red Dragon.”
“Damned, how can such a being exist in the Material Plane? This type of Red Dragon should be accompanying Tiamat in the Barto Hell!”
Hamid raised his head, his scarlet face turning somewhat pale, a forced smile appearing on it.
“Great Dragon, I think… there might be some misunderstanding between us.”
“Your retainers misunderstood…”
He explained weakly.
Cassius, however, lowered his head, staring at the nervous face of the fire giant, and let out a sneer.
“Misunderstanding?”
“I didn’t find any misunderstanding.”

With a voice ever so deep and powerful, the Red Dragon’s tone shifted from light-hearted to angry.
“Proud and ignorant fire giant, I did not see a misunderstanding; I saw you insulting me, chasing my retainers, besieging my army…”
“I wanted to give you a final chance to atone, but you humiliated me, tried to destroy my nation, and even sought to trample me underfoot!”
By now, his voice thundered like a mighty storm, echoing resoundingly within the Brass Palace.
“I come bearing the Empire’s goodwill, seeking cooperation between both sides, and you—unswervingly chose to become my enemy!”
“Therefore, I will make you and your people pay the price!”
“Roar—”
The dragon’s roar reverberated through the city.
The overwhelming Dragon’s Might filled out, making all living beings in the city feel soul-crushing oppression.
Whether it was the laboring fire dwarves, the fire lizards, fire giant slaves, or the fire giant overseers wielding whips, all felt a wave of panic.
“Run!”
“Protect Lord Emir!”
“That is an enemy we cannot fight!”
The fire giants in the hall panicked and fled in all directions.
The fire giants were a race of fierce warriors, but when faced with such a colossal Red Dragon, even the bravest fire giant warrior would lose their courage and flee.
The fire giants soared into the sky, their lower bodies transforming into a mass of gray smoke and embers.
And as the most powerful of them all, Hamid desperately flew at the forefront, still calling out.
“Guards! Quickly cover me!”
“Don’t let him catch up!”
His speed was exceptionally swift, once again showcasing the powerful spellcasting abilities of the nobility.
Cassius was not in a hurry to enjoy this meal. He leisurely stretched his wings before opening his mouth.
“Buzz—”
At once, a surging vortex of magic appeared in his mouth, a powerful force filling the palace—that was still [Dragon’s Absorption].
“No—”
“Such strong suction!”
“Lord Emir, I can’t withstand it! Save me!”
The fire giant guards who were covering the rear tried their best to fly but were still sucked into the magic vortex like a black hole.
“Ahhhh!”
“For the great Sultan!”
“Lord of Flames, damn reptile, die!”
Realizing they couldn’t escape, the fire giant guards roared in anger, launching a counterattack in their final moments.
Scimitars swung, arrows shot, and scalding flames attacked.
However, none of this had any effect on the immense and terrifying Red Dragon, not even enough to tickle him.
“Hiss—”
With the sound of the air splitting.
Cassius spat out blazing flames, engulfing all the fire giants.
“No—”
“How can I be burned by flames…”
“I don’t want to disapp…”
Being incarnations of elemental essence, the fire giants were not afraid of ordinary flames.
But as an Ancestral Dragon, Cassius’ breath possessed a higher magical nature, capable of absorbing the “essence” of fire giants and making it his own.
In just a few breaths, the flames still burned vigorously, burning even more fiercely, while the fire giants had already disappeared.
Even their weapons melted, dripping onto the ground.
“Hiss—”
Cassius reabsorbed the flames, feeling the fullness of energy within him, he licked his lips in satisfaction.
“Just the fire giants alone contained so much energy…”
“So, what about this so-called noble…”
The Red Dragon’s pale golden pupils focused on the fleeing noble fire giant, showing a glint of greed.
He harbored no mercy for these fire giants who were enemies and enslavers of all races.
The enslaver became enslaved.
The exploiter was devoured.
This was in accordance with the natural order.
What’s more, recalling certain intelligence from his previous life and confirming the situation of the “great Sultan,” Caius felt even more justified.
“Cur, cursed…”
“By the Lord of Flames, they were all eaten!”
“He really dares to do this!”
Meanwhile, Hamid was desperately flying, hearing the wails of the fire giant guards behind him, feeling unparalleled fear.
