Golden Barrier！

The furious aura of combat surged like a tempest, instantly reaching behind Roy and halting his advance completely!

"It's you! Leo!"

Roy spun around, his massive dragon mirroring his every move.

Bound by the life-and-death contract, the bond between man and dragon had forged an unbreakable mental connection. With just a thought, the red dragon could instantly grasp Roy's intentions and execute the next action, a seamless partnership indeed!

"Red Dragon Breath!"

Boom…

A searing crimson flame erupted from the dragon's massive maw, crashing violently into Leo's cross-shaped aura, completely engulfing it!

Not only that, but after overwhelming Leo's aura, the breath did not cease; it surged forward relentlessly, and wherever it passed, the terrifying heat melted the mountain path into molten lava, showcasing its overwhelming power!

"Hmm?"

Leo's pupils constricted at the sight, just as he prepared to unleash his aura for defense!

At that moment, another figure arrived—none other than the "Destructive Hurricane," Occam!

"O great God of the Hurricane, I, Occam Edward, your most devout follower, call upon you! Grant me the power to communicate with the 'Hurricane' and crush the formidable foe before me…"

"Triple Tornado!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Three towering tornadoes, each ten meters high, surged forth, instantly blocking the remaining breath of the red dragon!

After accomplishing this, Occam rode a gust of wind, gracefully landing beside Leo, the two standing side by side.

"Let's take him down together!" Leo said in a low voice, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on Roy ahead.

"Agreed!"

Occam nodded without hesitation!

The two seemed to share an unspoken understanding, naturally directing their focus toward Roy without the need for excessive conversation.

For the "Son of the Dragon" commanded a dragon summon, standing atop the pinnacle of beings in the Roland Continent!

"Are you two so eager to challenge me?"

Roy observed the scene with a playful expression, standing atop his dragon and gazing at Leo and Occam not far behind.

"Roy, we acknowledge that with a dragon as your summon, your strength and talent surpass ours!"

Leo's face was as cold as ice; though he was reluctant to admit defeat, he understood that the dragon's innate gifts were far beyond his reach!

Even if the red dragon was the lowest tier among dragons!

It was still a dragon!

But then, Leo shifted his tone.

"However, our pride does not allow us to retreat!"

"Exactly!"

Occam nodded in agreement, proudly declaring, "What of the dragon race? Roy, you merely got lucky and happened upon a dragon egg! Without the red dragon, what are you?"

At this point, Occam added, "If that dragon egg were mine, I, Occam, would guarantee that no one in the entire Radiant Empire could stand against me!"

"Haha, you say so much, but in the end, aren't you just afraid of me?"

Roy remained unmoved, a deeper amusement growing on his face as he retorted, "If you weren't afraid of me, you would have attacked by now instead of wasting breath!"

"You!"

Leo and Occam were momentarily taken aback, for Roy's words struck at the very heart of their true feelings!

Before a true dragon, no one would be unafraid, even if they were the renowned "Golden War Lion" and "Destructive Hurricane" of the empire!

"Occam, support me from behind and unleash some powerful offensive magic!"

At this moment, Leo gritted his teeth; for the honor of his family and his own reputation, he could not allow himself to fail, especially not against a commoner!

"Understood!"

Occam nodded heavily, the wind elements in his hands already beginning to dance, eager to unleash their power!

Finally, Leo could no longer suppress the fear within him; he knew that only through battle could he dispel his dread and find boundless courage!

Swish!

In the next moment, he plunged his cross sword into the ground!

With both hands clasped together, he fervently prayed!

"O great God of War, grant me, Leo Wilson, endless courage! I shall tear apart all enemies before me, illuminating your magnificent throne with all my glory!"

"Golden Barrier!"

Buzz…

His aura blazed fiercely, and when Leo opened his eyes again, his body was enveloped in a layer of golden light!

"Charge Technique, Golden Chariot!"

Immediately, Leo gripped his sword with both hands, charging forward toward Roy with an utterly fearless stance!
