Chapter 199 Opening Scene
A violent tremor came from deep within the earth, and the roar of the volcanic eruption was deafening.
Hundreds of tons of molten lava were hurled into the sky with a deafening roar, turning into a rain of golden and red fire that poured down. The creatures on the ground panicked and scattered in all directions to avoid it.
The enormous red dragon stood in the churning crater, the flames of the lava reflecting off its scales in a dazzling crimson light. Its outstretched wings resembled a raging inferno burning the sky, with waves of scorching flames constantly surging upwards.
Thor looked down at the creatures fleeing in panic below. Familiar and unfamiliar figures came into view, and a ferocious laugh crept onto his lips. He then let out a loud roar to the sky.
The rolling sound waves swept across the mountains, causing volcanic ash to fall in a flurry.
"All the creatures within my territory, and all the guests who have come at my invitation, raise your heads and look at me!!"
I am the master of this wilderness and mountains, the lord of the earth, the red dragon who burns away all falsehood and holds endless wealth and fear!
It is a pleasure to see you all gathered here. Merciful Thor will give you everything you desire, whether it be wealth or power, but you will have to earn it yourself!
See that hollowed-out hill? That's the grand stage I've prepared for you. Go fight! Go slaughter! Under my watchful eye, the victor will claim everything!
The thunderous sound echoed through the mountains, and Thor's men, who had been unable to contain themselves any longer, all let out a bloodthirsty cheer.
Many more creatures and humans who had not submitted to him but had simply come to this territory stared at the red dragon standing proudly in the crater, their faces filled with shock and fear.
Although they already knew why they had come and what they were going to face, when they actually saw this behemoth at the top of the food chain, the instinctive fear in their hearts still surged up.
Besides ordinary adventurers, there are also curious mages, cultists with their own agendas, righteous messengers, and spies from various factions, all lurking in hidden corners.
With their superior strength and keen perception of the elements, they are able to uncover more secrets than ordinary creatures.
That was the restlessness of the elements—fire and earth were welcoming their ruler, and lightning was leaping and cheering in the sky, moving entirely according to the will of the red dragon.
Even the wind, water, and ice elements, which are completely different from the red dragon's attributes—as well as the accompanying elements derived from these elements—were involuntarily drawn in and poured into the flames burning around its body, weaving together into a dazzling rainbow halo.
I have never heard of any red dragon that can be involved with so many elemental types, not even the divine beings of Tiamat.
Could this red dragon possess the bloodline of a rainbow dragon? Could a legendary dragon actually combine with a mortal creature?
Moreover, the chances of successfully producing offspring through cross-lineage reproduction are extremely low. Even if offspring are successfully born, they often only inherit the abilities of one parent.
This red dragon has the appearance of a red dragon, yet it vaguely displays the powerful abilities unique to rainbow dragons. This is definitely a major discovery. If we could obtain even a drop of its blood or a scale—
The thirst for knowledge caused some mages to immediately ignore the difference in strength between them and cast burning gazes at Thor.
Those spies from powerful forces and messengers of justice were deeply wary of the small part of him they had revealed.
The remaining cultists either gathered in small groups or scattered and hid in corners, their cold eyes darting around. Some were brewing crazy ideas, while others were secretly searching for the dragon's treasure.
The intense emotions contained in the various gazes cast from all directions were absorbed by the turntable.
Thor's essence balance kept fluctuating, gaining dozens or even hundreds of points in a short time, which made him feel a surge of joy, and he continued to shout loudly.
"All creatures that step into that arena and survive will receive a fine weapon crafted by the grey dwarves."
If he wins ten matches, I will bestow upon him extraordinary equipment comparable to magical items, or a full three hundred gold coins.
Anyone who can win over a hundred matches will be qualified to become my servant. They only need to pass the final trial to have the chance to embark on the path to legend!
Now! Follow me! Start fighting for everything you want! Prove your strength with blood and death! Please me with your battles!
Boom—!
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the towering volcano roared angrily, billowing smoke shooting into the sky like giant pillars, and lava raining down like fire.
The enormous red dragon flapped its wide wings and soared toward the huge arena not far away.
The gazes of the many creatures around him were also drawn to him, following closely as they looked at the colossal building that stood on the earth like a giant bowl, its entire body forged from molten basalt and obsidian, dark and profound.
Roar--!
Roar--!
Roar--!
A chorus of roars erupted, and amidst the terrified gazes of the many creatures, young dragons of various colors—red, blue, green, black, and white—suddenly soared into the air, clutching large treasure chests in their claws, and charged toward the enormous arena.
Kate, mingling in the crowd, tightened her cloak, her sharp single eye scanning her surroundings. She dodged a crazed ogre and moved forward, following the footsteps of the creatures around her.
As the massive arena drew closer, a dark, gaping entrance, resembling the mouth of a colossal beast, came into view.
It is nearly ten meters long and wide, enough to allow a giant to pass through. The surrounding walls are covered with traces of melting and then solidifying, as if they were forcibly scorched by high temperatures.
After passing through a long passage, the space suddenly opens up, and bright sunlight streams down from above, revealing a magnificent obsidian throne that dominates the entire field of vision.
A half-orc blew a long bull horn, its powerful sound echoing throughout the arena.
The colorful baby dragons circled and chased each other in mid-air, weaving together to form a five-colored rainbow.
When the treasure chests in the young dragons' claws were opened, countless riches poured out like water, with gold, silver, and jewels piling up on the enormous throne, reflecting a magnificent gleam.
Thor descended from the sky, his wings folding back, only after the entire obsidian throne had been lightly covered. His massive body casually reclined, and a torrent of gold coins sprayed out like raindrops, rolling down the towering pillars of the throne and embedding themselves deeply into the sand below.
A pair of eyes, red from bloodshot, were drawn to him and stared intently at his lower body.
How many gold coins would that be! Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions? And these are just a tiny fraction of it; those gem crystals shimmering with rich magical light are the truly priceless treasures.
Another wave of intense emotions surged, and Thor's essence balance jumped up again.
Seeing those greedy eyes, a pleased smile crept onto his lips, and he reached down and grabbed a handful.
"Then come on! The brave deserve reward. The one who dares to step forward within three minutes and survives to the end, all of these belong to him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he tossed the gold coins in his hand out like scattering candy beans. The golden glitters tumbled in the air and fell to the ground in a flurry.
