Chapter 461 -483: Soul Devouring Dragon
“Th-thank you…”
“Great Dragon, can you let me go?”
The fire giant noble asked humbly, wearing a smile more wretched than crying on his flushed face.
Having just witnessed that horrifying scene, he only wanted to leave here as quickly as possible, escape this terrifying dragon, and avoid any more entanglements.
“Of course.”
Cassius answered calmly.
The Red Dragon released his massive claw, freeing the trapped fire giant noble.
“Thank you for your mercy…”
“G-goodbye, Great Dragon.”
Hamid breathed a sigh of relief.
The fire giant noble flew desperately in the sky, sparks shooting from his lower body.
“Lord of Flames, bless me…”
“Never returning to this damned Ironforge City, such a terrifying dragon there…”
Hamid muttered to himself, his face full of relief after the ordeal.
“Swoosh—”
A scorching gale roared past.
A bad feeling suddenly arose in Hamid’s heart. He turned his head stiffly.
“N-no way…”
He saw the enormous Red Dragon flapping its wings, catching up in just a few breaths. He could even feel its sulfurous breath.
“I have forgiven your first sin—hunting my retainers.”
“But a sin is a sin. Now it is time for your second sin, insulting me face to face.”
The Red Dragon waved its claw mid-air, and a shimmering force field imprisoned the despaired fire giant once again.
This was just an experiment for Cassius.
In another life, players had suggested on forums to trap a fire giant, release it, and trap it again—could they possibly get unlimited wishes?
“However… Can you grant me a second wish as compensation?”
Damn it!
Greedy reptile!
Hamid roared and shouted inwardly, but he was helpless.
Not to mention resisting, he had no chance to struggle.
The fire giant noble, who burned and pillaged at will and could destroy a village in a fit of pique, now tasted the plight of a victim himself.
Though he cursed the Red Dragon a thousand times in his heart, Hamid still struggled to look up and plead: “Great Dragon, please let me go!”
“I have no intention of deceiving you. Wish magic is extremely precious even for giant spirits. I can only cast it every few years…”
As expected, there was no way to cheat.

Had I known, I would have tried “grant me three more wishes” instead, though it might still fail, it would be worth a shot.
Cassius shook his head and sighed helplessly.
“Sigh, unwilling to compensate yet wanting to live. You put me in a tough spot.”
“Great Dragon, I can give you all I own, everything in the city…”
The fire giant cried out anxiously.
But Cassius ignored him and continued speaking:
“Enough, I’ll broaden the terms. Grant me a wish you can fulfill now.”
“What wish?”
“I want an elemental core from a fire giant noble.”
“That…no—”
Hamid’s face turned furious and fearful. He shouted one last line before being engulfed by dragonflame.
The raging flames devoured his body, dissolving the outer shell and leaving only the elemental core, flickering like a flame in his chest.
It contained abundant fire elemental energy and the quintessential power of the Inner Plane.
Emir Hamid Abdul, dispatched by the Sultan of Ironforge City, bearer of noble bloodline—ceased to exist.
His soul might have returned to the embrace of the Master of Fire, but his body undoubtedly entered the Red Dragon’s belly.
“Roar—”
Cassius raised his head high, letting out a long roar.
He felt the flowing energy inside him, spitting out blistering fire, declaring his arrival to the entire Fire Elemental Plane.
“Lord of Flames…”
“He really dared…”
“He, he ate an Emir!”
“By the Lord of Flames, Master Hamid, like a lamb to the slaughter!”
“That’s no ordinary dragon, it devoured a fire giant noble, it’s a Soul Devouring Dragon!”
The fire imps in the magma, the fire dwarves in the caves, the remaining fire giants of Ironforge City—all gazed up at the colossal Red Dragon, exclaiming in shock.
The death of an Emir was significant but not earth-shattering.
But a fearsome dragon from the Prime Material Plane who toyed with and devoured a fire giant noble—
That was extraordinary.
Word of this spread rapidly across the Burning Wildlands.
Within days, nearby inhabitants had all heard the story:
A Red Dragon, larger than even an Ancient Dragon, descended upon Ironforge City.
It single-handedly destroyed half the city, killed over a hundred fire giants, and devoured a noble fire giant Emir.
The name “Soul Devouring Dragon” began to spread, becoming a nightmare for fire giants in the area.
Few knew this Red Dragon’s origin, leading to much speculation.
Some said it was an emperor from the Prime Material Plane; others claimed it was a descendant of Tiamat; some even said it was a helper summoned by fire dwarves…
…
Scorched Plains, Brass Fortress.
“He hasn’t arrived yet?”
“Don’t worry.”
“Everyone, be patient. He has accepted the invitation…”
In the exquisite Brass Palace, fire dwarves gathered anxiously, their expressions unusually somber.
The table was laden with fine wine and delicacies, piled high with gleaming gold and gems, clearly prepared for a grand banquet.
Yet none dared touch the enticing feast; the invited Imperial officers and soldiers stood in place.
“My apologies…”
A rich voice resonated.
The fire dwarves, Imperial officers, and soldiers all turned toward the door, their eyes focused.
They saw Cassius, in human form, standing at the palace entrance, his handsome face adorned with a courteous smile.
“Handled some trifles, sorry to keep you all waiting.”
“Long live His Majesty Cassius!”
“Invincible!”
“Great Red Dragon, devourer of giants!”
The Imperial officers and soldiers erupted in fanatical cheers, wave after wave of enthusiastic shouts.
Sharin, surrounded by fire dwarves, stepped forward respectfully:
“Your Majesty Cassius, congratulations on another great victory. The entire Burning Wasteland witnessed your might.”
Cassius nodded in acknowledgment and replied calmly: “Thank you for the gracious invitation, Lord Sharin.”
“Your Majesty, please come inside. We have prepared the finest wines and delicacies for you.”
Sharin bowed slightly, welcoming the human-form dragon into the palace.
Deep within his eyes lay an unprecedented tension and solemnity—this feast might decide the fate of the Brass Fortress and the lives of his thousands of fire dwarves.
