Chapter 459 -381: Hamid’s Escape
“Hurry up!”
“Don’t block my way!”
“Damn it, that giant dragon is catching up!”
“By the Lord of Flames…”
“How dare he devour a Giant Spirit! Is he not afraid of the Great Sultan’s wrath?”
The Fire Giants crowded out from the grand doors of the Brass Palace, screaming and pushing, frantically escaping this land of death.
Due to their flight, thick smoke and embers billowed from their backs.
“Quickly! Close the doors and trap that Red Dragon inside, don’t let him out!”

Hamid commanded loudly while flying.
The Fire Lizard slaves stationed at the entrance, their bodies entangled in heavy iron chains, exerted all their strength to turn the wheel.
“Squeak…”
With a piercing metal scraping sound, the brass doors slowly shut.
The Fire Giants cast spells in succession, using Arcane Locks to seal the door, attempting to temporarily trap the terrifying giant dragon.
“Boom—”
The sound of metal clashing echoed, the brass doors bulged with scratch marks, but did not break.
The Fire Giants heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank goodness…”
“For now, he can’t get out, we can take this chance…”
“Bang!”
The next moment, the massive Red Dragon burst through the thick walls, surging out of the palace amid rolling smoke and embers.
The structure behind him crumbled.
Cassius spread his wings, pouncing towards the panicked Fire Giants, roaring, “Since you’ve chosen to be my enemies—”
“You shall pay the price! And that price is your lives!”
“He’s out!”
“Run!”
“No—”
“What kind of flames are these?”
The Red Dragon exhaled fierce flames, turning the surroundings into a sea of fire, nearly engulfing all the Giants within its range.
Perhaps it was karma.
The Fire Giants, who enjoyed pillaging the Material and Elemental Planes, using fire to cleanse the earthly homes, finally experienced the sensation of “being burned.”
Dragonflame wreathed the Fire Giants’ entire bodies, disintegrating their forms in an instant and devouring their fire essences.
This was the Dragonflame of the Ancestral Dragon, still possessing all the properties of flame yet elevated by magical essence.
Hamid continued to fly, trailing smoke behind him.
The sacrifices of the fellow Fire Giant nobility bought him significant time, allowing him to fly several hundred meters away.
Hamid occasionally glanced back, shaking his head in disbelief, muttering.
“Impossible…”
“What kind of flames are these…”
Even from several hundred meters away, he still felt the terror of the flames.
As the flames drew near, he felt like his internal magic was being evaporated, gradually losing control.
Hamid genuinely felt that transcendent power, the overwhelmingly destructive fire instilling deep fear within him.
Such unreachable flames, he had only seen on the Great Sultan of the Fire Giants in the City of Brass and that Elemental Prince in the Final Burning Temple.
“I must… leave here.”
“I, I must return to the City of Brass and report to the Great Sultan!”
The noble Fire Giant said tremblingly, while swinging a scimitar to open a portal before him.
“Ashes—”
Cassius rampaged through Ironforge City, demolishing buildings with ease, leaving ruins in his wake.
The Red Dragon spread its wings; wherever it went, flames raged, consuming the panicked Fire Giants entirely.
Facing the
thirty-meter-long Atavistic Red Dragon, these usually arrogant Fire Giants were reduced to their former victims’ state.
Like sacrificial lambs, they had no resistance, continuously praying for divine salvation.
In mere breaths, dozens of Fire Giants reverted to fire essence forms, absorbed by the Red Dragon.
While enjoying the feast, Cassius also activated the Supreme True Dragon Diadem on his head, better known as the Wind of Bahamut.
He encircled his fierce head with the Divine Power of Order, preventing himself from falling into a frenzy and losing his sanity.
“Heh heh…”
“A portal?”
Cassius sensed the spatial fluctuations in the distance, narrowing his eyes and curling his lips.
He extended a claw, pointing in the distance, a jet of greenish-black spell light shooting forth.

“Hurry, hurry…”
“By the Lord of Flames, as long as I return to the City of Brass, the Great Sultan will protect me. He will surely kill this giant dragon…”
Hamid urgently watched the forming portal, chanting desperately.
“Swish—”
The greenish-black light struck, instantly disintegrating the portal, returning the space to calm.
“No, no no…”
“There’s still a chance…”
The noble Fire Giant shook his head frantically; his rough face twisted in dread.
Seeing his spell fail, he continued flying forward without looking back, trailing thick ash behind him.
“Trying to escape?”
“You’ve chosen your destined end!”
Cassius’s roar thundered like lightning.
“Swish—”
The Red Dragon fiercely flapped its wings, stirring a scorching wind strong enough to topple buildings, covering a hundred meters in an instant.
Hamid dared not look back, flying desperately, already sensing the sulfurous breath and the approaching gale.
At last, he reached the city gates.
“Lord Hamid?”
“That is—”
“By the Lord of Flames!”
The guarding Fire Giant soldiers first gazed in astonishment at the fleeing Hamid, then were terrified by the giant dragon pursuing him.
“Get out of the way!”
“Release the Fire Hydra Lizard to block him!”
Hamid commanded angrily.
In the Fire Giants’ hasty actions, the massive gate of the city wall opened with a roar, releasing a gigantic and terrifying monster.
That was the Fire Hydra Lizard, with a colossal body over a dozen meters long and five heads atop multiple snakelike necks.
It was said to be a monster born from the blood of a slain Lernaean Dragon God by the Evil Dragon Queen Tiamat—forever cursed by the hatred of the Fallen God to remain ravenous.
The released Fire Hydra Lizard was extremely excited, lifting all five heads to the sky, bellowing loudly.
It was ready for a great feast.
“Roar~~”
But soon it sensed a terrifying presence approaching rapidly, along with the roaring sound of the air.
The Fire Hydra Lizard’s ten eyes filled with confusion.
“Boom—”
The next moment, Cassius swept by at low altitude, his far larger body crushing it mercilessly.
Flesh and blood flew, and all that remained where the Fire Hydra Lizard once stood were a few feet, its flesh completely smashed to pulp.
This incredibly terrifying monster to mortals was like a paper doll before the Red Dragon.
A lizard’s head rolled to the ground, its eyes filled with bewilderment.
“Lord of Flames protect…”
“I hope that insatiable fool can delay a bit longer.”
The noble Fire Giant prayed silently while continuing to fly frantically.
But contrary to his wishes, the gale followed him closely, and a massive shadow appeared on the ground ahead.
Hamid felt a darkness before him, followed by an overwhelming force taking control of his entire body.
The Fire Giant slowly raised his head, trembling, the flame atop it flickering, and his terrified face contorting.
“M-Master, I think there’s some misunderstanding…”
The Red Dragon had firmly grasped the noble Fire Giant, a smile on his terrifying dragon face.
“Esteemed ‘Finger Cutter’ Hamid, give me a reason not to kill you?”
