Chapter 202: The Spectacular Dragoness Brawl

Extreme Northern Ice Fields.

Above several snow-capped mountains.

Two giant dragons were engaged in close-range combat, one covered in snow-white scales, stretching nearly eighteen meters in length—a colossal white dragon, and the other, a crystal dragon surpassing twenty meters.

Both are cold-loving dragons of the icy kind.

In this scenario, some ordinary ice field creatures living around the snow mountains were trembling and hiding in the corners of caves or burying themselves entirely under the snow, too scared to even peek out due to the fierce dragon might released during the dragons' battle.

These two dragons were none other than the white dragoness Saliya and Nicole Nina.

The battle between the two mother dragons in the air was quite clear-cut and surprising.

A mature white dragon, which should have been no match for a mature crystal dragon, was displaying her divine might, forcing the crystal dragon into a clumsy retreat. A closer look revealed the crystal dragon's scales covered in claw marks, many of which were broken, and some even bleeding.

Casually spewing frosty dragon breath, the white dragoness forced the crystal dragon to dodge in haste.

Then, the white dragoness flapped her wings, using wind magic combined with the already fierce wind to propel her body, increasing her speed dramatically, and in an instant, she flew above the crystal dragon.

The white dragoness plummeted, mounting the crystal dragon's back, locking her hind limbs around the crystal dragon's waist and belly, while her front claws pounded the crystal dragon's head, specifically aiming for the face.

"Take that for stealing my dragon egg!"

"And that for tearing down my dragon nest!"

As she fought, the white dragoness also let out a vindictive laugh, mercilessly mocking the crystal dragon's weakness and helplessness, embodying the epitome of schadenfreude and kicking someone when they're down.

Meanwhile, at a slope near the peak of the snow mountain.

A layer of snow trembled slightly, revealing the dazzling crystal dragon scales of Nicole Nina lying comfortably underneath, watching the white dragoness's tantrum in the air with interest, as if talking to herself with spirited determination.

Nicole Nina, proficient in enchantment spells, had created an illusion for Saliya through mental manipulation.

This illusion was generated based on the target's thoughts.

Meaning, the white dragoness was immersed in the illusion of beating the crystal dragon, completely unaware she had been hit by the enchantment spell.

She was too confident.

"How could this foolish Saliya give birth to the noble Garon?"

Nicole Nina now knew Garon's true identity and age, and also realized that Garon's birth mother was the white dragoness.

She felt very regretful.

Because when she passed by Saliya's nest wanting to care for a dragon egg, Nicole Nina had even held the largest egg, which was Garon's.

"Ah, Nicole Nina, if only you had been more decisive back then."

The image of a silver giant dragon surfaced in her mind, and Nicole Nina murmured with some annoyance.

"This fool, to have expelled the time fledgling from the nest. If it were me, I would cherish it with all my love."

Nicole Nina shook her head and sighed, covering her face.

Watching the proud white dragoness in the sky, Nicole Nina couldn't help grinding her teeth, wanting to teach her a lesson, but remembering she was Garon's dragon mother, Nicole Nina reluctantly held back.

"Why couldn't it be me?"

Nicole Nina sighed again.

Meanwhile, a deep voice rang out beside her.

"What do you mean, 'why not you'?"

The sudden voice from behind startled Nicole Nina, almost making her leap out from the snow.

She quickly recognized the familiar voice of Garon.

Turning her head, Nicole Nina saw a pair of platinum dragon eyes quietly observing her.

Garon, using a simple third-ring invisibility spell, although not comparable to Yuna's invisibility field, with his powerful legendary mental strength, neither the crystal nor the white dragoness noticed his approach.

"Ah, Garon, you're back from the lava demi-plane."

Nicole Nina, showing a pleased expression, whispered.

Garon nodded, saying, "I've taken the lava demi-plane into my possession. You wanted to see it, right? I can take you there next time."

After a pause, he chuckled, "By the way, I've already visited the ice cliff. The fortress you built is quite impressive."

Overall, Garon was quite satisfied.

Nicole Nina chirped happily, "As long as you like it, I'll continue to modify it for you."

"Have you thought of a name for the fortress?"

Garon shook his head, "Not yet."

The crystal dragon's eyes lit up, eagerly saying, "I've thought about it for you, very fitting for your status."

Garon was slightly taken aback, "What name?"

Clearing her throat, Nicole Nina spoke solemnly, "The Eternal Fortress, a fortress belonging to the immortal, ought to be everlasting."

After speaking, she looked expectantly at Garon, waiting for his response.

The fortress was her creation, but Garon was the true master, so the name of the fortress was for Garon to decide; she was just making a suggestion.

The Eternal Fortress.

Garon pondered for a moment, finding the name quite fitting.

It indeed matched his identity as a time dragon.

"Alright, let's go with that name."

Garon nodded slightly.

"Yay!"

Nicole Nina, wagging her tail, cheered loudly.

After learning Garon's identity, she initially felt constrained and embarrassed to speak normally in front of him, but after some thought, Nicole Nina realized she shouldn't feel that way.

Because Garon was still Garon, his attitude and character remained the same, not changing despite her knowing his identity.

She shouldn't have felt that way.

Initially, she was too nervous, after all, witnessing a legendary dragon species firsthand. Now, her emotions had stabilized.

Moreover, Nicole Nina harbored her own little scheme.

She also wanted to birth a time dragon egg.

But relying on mutation alone to produce a time dragon egg was too unlikely.

For true dragons mating, legendary dragon species were unclear, but for ordinary chromatic and metallic dragons, if they breed, the offspring have a high chance of inheriting one parent's bloodline, with a small chance of becoming a stronger hybrid.

For example, a clutch from a silver and gold dragon could hatch gold dragons, silver dragons, and gold-silver hybrid dragons.

Nicole Nina's cheer was quite loud, catching the white dragoness's attention.

She glanced over, took a simple look, and then continued immersing herself in her delightful fantasies, battling wits with the air.

"What's going on with you and Saliya?"

Garon looked up at the sky.

In his view, the now eighteen-meter-long white dragoness still appeared petite and delicate, still at the threshold of being a colossal dragon.

Garon vaguely remembered the first time he saw the white dragoness after hatching.

At that time, to Garon, the sixteen-meter-long white dragoness was a massive creature, making his heart race with every move, even knowing she was his dragon mother.

As for the white dragoness who once made him so fearful, she now appeared merely petite in Garon's eyes.

Four years of growth, from the size of a lion or tiger to the current skyscraper-like size, Garon's growth rate was incredibly abnormal.

Without the life gem, he guessed he'd still be in the range of a colossal dragon, a distance away from a giant dragon. Even so, this growth rate was unimaginable.

"Just, just because of that misunderstanding back then."

Nicole Nina, feeling guilty, shifted her gaze away, looking at the thick snow on the ground.

"Once, when Saliya passed by the ice cliff, I happened to be building the fortress. She saw me and came to fight me."

"I just let her be, using enchantment spells to let her entertain herself, not taking her seriously."

Saying this, the crystal dragon seemed troubled, "But now, she seems to really think she's very powerful."

Meanwhile, the triumphant laughter mixed with scornful disdain for Nicole Nina echoed through the air, so loud that it penetrated the blizzard, reaching Garon and Nicole Nina's ears.

Garon: . He felt a bit of a headache.

The white dragoness's character is both weak and boastful, and she excels at kicking someone when they're down, bullying the weak, and other classic evil dragon behaviors.

All the negative terms used to describe chromatic dragons could almost be found on the white dragoness.

Nowadays, such pure evil dragons are rare. Even Roel, a naturally reckless and impulsive red dragon, has learned to deceive and plunder war treasures from human nations.

"Alright, let her know the truth."

"Go and give her a slight lesson."

"If this continues, she might cause trouble due to being too inflated."

Garon understood the white dragoness well.

With her character, if she thinks she's very powerful, it won't be long before she starts having some improper thoughts and wanting to do bad things.

A mature white dragon is not weak, but also not particularly strong.

Garon looked at the white dragoness, using a creature level inspection spell.

Creature Level: Twelve

The mature white dragoness, now only level twelve.

A high-level spellcaster, paying some price, could likely turn her to ash.

Garon looked at the red dragons' creature levels, Roel was level seventeen, Gresha was sixteen, both just matured, both chromatic dragons, but mature red dragons' levels are much higher than mature white dragons.

"She's too arrogant."

Nicole Nina ground her teeth again.

She had long been displeased with the white dragoness, and now, understanding Garon's intention, she immediately soared into the sky.

The crystal dragon, not holding back her aura, with her twenty-plus meter colossal dragon body stirring the wind and snow, quickly flew into the sky.

This movement naturally caught the white dragoness's attention.

She looked over, then shockingly discovered two identical crystal dragons.

"Huh, what's happening?"

The moment was brief, and the white dragoness hadn't yet recovered.

Turning her head towards the crystal dragon she had been beating, she found it suddenly disappeared.

Nicole Nina lifted the enchantment spell's mental manipulation, deciding to abandon the enchantment spell and engage in close combat with the white dragoness, making her realize her actual strength level.

The white dragoness, observing the imposing and intact crystal dragon, felt something was off.

But the recent beatings of Nicole Nina had fostered an unusual confidence in her, so the white dragoness snorted arrogantly, raising her head high, looking down at the crystal dragon, disdainfully saying, "Nicole Nina, what little trick are you playing?"

"Humph, I'll let you know, we white dragons are the true masters of the Extreme Northern Ice Fields!"

Seeing Nicole Nina ready for close combat, the white dragoness, although smaller in size, was filled with confidence, not realizing the reality. She retracted her dragon wings and charged towards Nicole Nina's direction.

Roar! The white dragoness roared spiritedly, extending her invincible dragon claw towards the crystal dragon's head.

The dragon claw, swirling with cold wind, appeared quite formidable.

However, this confident strike missed.

The crystal dragon quickly sidestepped, avoiding the white dragoness's attack.

"Hmm?"

The white dragoness was slightly stunned.

Because before, Nicole Nina couldn't avoid it.

At the same time, the crystal dragon's body emitted a dazzling light, the sudden flash causing the white dragoness's eyes to hurt, instinctively closing them.

Then, she felt pain all over her body.

Nicole Nina, grabbing the white dragoness's neck, took advantage of her blindness to unleash a flurry of attacks.

In pain, the white dragoness struggled to open her eyes, filled with anger.

"Despicable crystal dragon, cowardly!"

While speaking, she used her tail, wings, and claws, engaging in close combat with Nicole Nina, who fought back just as fiercely. Relying on her stronger physique, Nicole Nina quickly gained the upper hand.

Time slowly passed.

Soon, the two similarly sized mother dragons fought from the sky to the ground, rolling out large ravines in the snow, leaving destruction in their wake, before flying back into the sky.

The invisible silver giant dragon stood on the snow-capped peak, claws piercing through the snow, gripping the cold rocks.

Garon's gaze gently followed the two mother dragons.

From his legendary perspective, Nicole Nina and the white dragoness's battle resembled a childish squabble, devoid of technique, just punches and kicks.

However, it was somewhat amusing.

Garon, feeling a rare joy, then took out some fruits from the southern regions from his dimensional space, resembling pineapples, still fresh, tossing them into his mouth like candy.

On the other side, as time went on, the white dragoness began to falter.

She realized she couldn't beat Nicole Nina.

Speed, strength, reaction, defense... Nicole Nina surpassed her in all physical attributes.

"Impossible, she must be using some ability with side effects to burst her power."

The white dragoness gritted her teeth, persevering.

After some time, she began to doubt her initial thought.

Nicole Nina remained vigorous, showing no signs of weakening.

The crystal dragon turned, her tail whipping out, striking the white dragoness's chest, sending her flying back over ten meters.

Unable to win in close combat, the white dragoness decided to use her magical abilities.

The next moment, her wind magic activated, creating gusts of wind under Nicole Nina, spinning wildly, pulling at the crystal dragon's body, slowing her movement.

Seeing this, Nicole Nina snorted coldly, employing the crystal dragon's superior wind manipulation magic.

In terms of magical prowess, whether magical abilities or actual spells, Nicole Nina was much stronger than the white dragoness.

In an instant, the white dragoness's created gusts calmed down, becoming Nicole Nina's weapon, turning against the white dragoness, catching her off guard and causing her to stumble.

Unable to win in close combat or magic, the white dragoness became enraged and desperate.

"I'll freeze you into an ice sculpture."

She opened her mouth, a blue frosty dragon breath rising within.

The dragon breath was powerful, capable of causing significant injury to other true dragons. Until now, the white dragoness had not seriously used her dragon breath.

Using dragon breath meant she was getting serious.

The concentrated column of frosty dragon breath shot towards Nicole Nina's position.

However, as the dragon breath was released, a legendary dragon might surged, and the silver giant dragon, like a straight silver line, pierced through the blizzard, almost instantly arriving in front of the dragon breath.

Recovering, and seeing it was Garon, the white dragoness was startled, quickly closing her mouth.

The released frosty dragon breath hit the silver dragon scales on the claws, absorbed entirely between the claws, causing no harm.

"Saliya, you should have realized by now, I've never used my full strength."

After Garon appeared, Nicole Nina spoke to the white dragoness.

"I don't believe it."

"Come on, let's continue, see who's stronger."

The white dragoness, originally staring at the suddenly appearing Garon, showed a pleased expression, but after hearing Nicole Nina's words, her face twisted, responding viciously.

As soon as she finished speaking, the white dragoness charged out fiercely.

However, just passing Garon, he caught her with a backhand and pulled her back.

"It's time to end the grudge between you two."

Garon calmed them with a word.

The white dragoness stared at Nicole Nina, snorted coldly, then calmed down, saying, "For Garon's sake, I'll let you go."

After a pause, she bared her teeth, threatening, "If you think of touching my dragon egg again, don't blame me for being rude."

Nicole Nina shrugged her tail, remaining silent.

Turning her head, the white dragoness looked at Garon, now much larger than herself, her expression changing as if flipping a book, from the fierce look just now to a softened

Garon, observing the interaction between the two, couldn't help but smile. Despite the intense confrontation, it was clear that both dragonesses held a certain respect for him, influencing their actions and decisions. This was a dynamic Garon found both amusing and endearing, a reminder of the complex relationships that existed within the realm of dragons.

"Enough," Garon said, his voice carrying a mixture of authority and gentleness. "Let's not dwell on past conflicts. Both of you are important to me in different ways. It's time we focus on the future and how we can work together."

The white dragoness, Saliya, still nursing her bruised ego and physical wounds, nodded reluctantly. She understood the wisdom in Garon's words, recognizing his status not just as her son but also as a powerful figure whose opinions and decisions mattered greatly in their world.

Nicole Nina, on the other hand, displayed a mixture of satisfaction and anticipation. The fight had proven her point, but Garon's intervention and call for unity spoke to her deeper desires for acceptance and collaboration. She saw in Garon not just a legendary dragon of immense power but a leader who could unite different forces for a common purpose.

Garon then turned his attention to the broader landscape, considering the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead. "The world is changing," he mused aloud, "and we dragons must adapt. There are threats that we can only face together, and there are dreams that we can only achieve as allies."

He proposed a vision of a united front, where dragons of all kinds could collaborate, leveraging their unique strengths towards shared goals. This included not just defending their territories but also exploring new realms, safeguarding the balance of nature, and fostering a new generation of dragons who could thrive in a changing world.

To Saliya and Nicole Nina, Garon's words were not just a call to action but an invitation to be part of something greater. It was a chance to move beyond petty squabbles and personal grievances, to contribute to a legacy that would endure for generations.

As the three dragons conversed, the icy winds around them seemed to grow less harsh, the snow shimmering under the glow of the aurora above. It was a moment of reconciliation and renewed purpose, a testament to Garon's leadership and the potential for unity among dragons.

In the days that followed, Garon's vision began to take shape. Saliya and Nicole Nina, once rivals, found common ground in their shared respect for Garon and their mutual interest in the welfare of their kind. They worked together on projects that benefited not just their immediate kin but the broader dragon community, from creating sanctuaries for young and vulnerable dragons to negotiating truces with other species.

Garon, for his part, continued to be a guiding force, a beacon of wisdom and strength for all who knew him. His journey, once a quest for personal identity and power, had evolved into a larger mission—one that sought to bring peace and prosperity to the realms of dragons and beyond.

As the story of Garon and the dragons unfolded, it became a legend in its own right, a tale of transformation, unity, and the enduring power of kinship and vision. In a world often divided by fear and misunderstanding, the alliance of Garon, Saliya, and Nicole Nina stood as a reminder of what could be achieved when hearts and minds were aligned towards a common good.
