I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

That alone is enough to warrant the execution of Anna's entire family, not to mention that Anna also precisely hit Tia's sore spots.

You don't even deserve to be his mother.

This "Mom" was earned by Tia after traversing the ends of the earth, meticulously building her nest, spending several years incubating the dragon eggs, and enduring the hard work of personally hunting and teaching them.

Now you, a blue dragon cub who hasn't even reached adulthood yet, are saying you want to be his mother.

Who do you think you are to dare compare yourself to the great Lord of the Forest, the Master of the Dark Swamp, and the most noble Queen Tia Gris in the world?

These points alone are enough to make Anna look like she's courting death.

Tia did not choose to act immediately for other reasons.

The Dragon Queen openly forbids adult dragons from actively hunting young dragons.

As a green dragon, Tia would still pay her respects to the Dragon Mother—though she had never set up a shrine in the dragon's nest or offered a single copper coin.

Even so, Tia firmly believes that she is a devout follower of Daenerys Targaryen.

That's why she hesitated between taking drastic measures and not.

Wayne's plea became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

A flash of fury instantly appeared in Tia's eyes.

good good!

Now a dragon is using her son to attack her, the mother!

You have already chosen the path to your death!

In an instant, a sweet-smelling, eerie green poisonous mist overflowed from Tia's massive maw, shooting towards the trembling blue dot below like an arrow, carrying a strong corrosive quality!

This is... the deadly breath of an adult green dragon!

Oh no, the mother I was about to have has flown away.

Wayne closed his eyes, unable to bear watching any longer. The young dragon's defense was absolutely no match for the full-force attack of an adult green dragon.

Even a red dragon known for its physical prowess wouldn't suffice, let alone Anna, who is merely a blue dragon.

However, at this critical moment—

"Hehehe! Hehehe!"

A strange laugh suddenly came from the distant sky.

Immediately afterwards, a thick electric spear, as thick as an ancient tree, appeared out of thin air and struck the poisonous mist with perfect accuracy!

"boom--!"

Two terrifying elemental forces collided in mid-air and then annihilated each other.

Immediately afterwards, a huge and arrogant figure blocked out the other half of the sky.

The opponent was covered in deep blue scales, as dark as the ocean, with its wings spread out and each scale shimmering with lightning.

This is an adult blue dragon whose body length is in no way inferior to that of Tia!

That's... Anna's mother!

Angelina Russell!

As a dragon who values ​​protecting her property above all else, the blue dragon Angelina has never given up searching for Anna since the moment she discovered Anna had run away.

Until a few days ago, she finally discovered her precious money—oops, I mean, the figure of her precious daughter.

So Angelina followed the scent and arrived, just in time to witness Tia about to unleash her breath attack:

The blue dragon let out a strange "hehe" laugh while roaring at Tia in an extremely annoying tone:

"Hey Tia! Who gave you permission to touch my personal property?!"

The next second, the heavens and earth trembled! The two giant dragons collided!

……

There's a chance!

Wayne's eyes lit up when he saw that both his parents were safe. He turned to look at Anna beside him, but found that the little dragon did not have the joy of surviving a disaster. Instead, she had an expression of utter despair, as if she had just been sentenced to life imprisonment.

It's hard to say whether it's worse to die suddenly or to be burdened with a debt that has a daily interest rate of 7% and spend your whole life working to pay it off.

At first, Wayne didn't understand why Anna was looking at him like that, so she gave him a brief explanation of what a birth loan was and what a 7% daily interest rate was.

So much so that after hearing this, Wayne's gaze towards the other dragon in the sky became somewhat strange.

Ugh, damn capitalists!

That being said, there are still too many dragons in the Five-Colored Dragons.

According to the "principle of relativity of gods and men" he summarized in his previous life: the more people there are, the more gods there are; the fewer people there are, the more divine the gods are.

Although the Five-Colored Dragons have a relatively high overall fertility rate, their methods of raising offspring are too crude, resulting in an extremely high mortality rate among young dragons. This makes the Five-Colored Dragon community a very small one.

Therefore, according to the principle of relativity between gods and humans, the Five-Colored Dragons circle is naturally full of divine dragons.

"Your mom is amazing!"

Wayne sighed sincerely at Anna.

On the other side, Anna, who was finally no longer locked onto by Tia Dragon's Wrath, was finally freed from control.

That dragon was really scary!

Anna collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, her scales dull and lifeless. She whispered a reply:

"Thank you, your mom too."

Above the sky, two enormous figures stirred up the wind and clouds. Every time Tia's green scales collided with Angelina's blue armor, they produced terrifying, ear-piercing sounds.

The emerald green poisonous fog and the deep blue lightning clashed wildly in the air, tearing the sky into streaks of light.

The forest directly below the two dragons was withered and scorched in large swaths.

This was a battle fought without reservation by adult dragons; the aftershocks of the battle were enough to destroy a small to medium-sized city.

Watching the two giant dragons fighting each other in the sky, Wayne suddenly realized something.

Now is the perfect time to leave!

He turned to look at Anna and found that her icy blue vertical pupils also held the same longing.

"run?"

Wayne asked in a low voice.

Anna mustered her last strength and nodded emphatically:

"Um!"

Without another word, the two young dragons turned around and silently disappeared into the shadows of the ruined forest, stealthily fleeing for their lives.

Anna didn't dare fly, firstly because she was exhausted, and secondly because in a battlefield of that scale, the airborne target would be too large.

If Wayne's mother were to accidentally strike him, it would be a truly unjust death for the dragon.

Soon, the two dragons found themselves in a relatively intact jungle. This area was some distance from the center of the conflict, so the vegetation was still quite intact.

Wayne suddenly stopped and lowered his body:

"Wait, Anna, stop right there!"

Anna stumbled and nearly bumped into Wayne's tail. She touched her nose with her paw and looked at Wayne with a strange expression.

Shouldn't you run for your life in a situation like this?

"Anna, didn't you hear any noises around you?"

"Is there...?"

Anna was panting heavily. She had been so focused on running that she hadn't paid any attention to her surroundings, only noticing the movements in the sky and the path beneath her feet.

But after Wayne said that, her keen senses, typical of blue dragons, instantly detected the anomaly—

It was so quiet all around that even the chirping of insects had disappeared, except for their panting.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the bushes not far away.

Anna instantly felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, her scales bristling once more as she prepared for a desperate fight.

then……

The powerful creature that was expected did not pounce out.

As the bushes parted, a dozen or so ashen-skinned kobolds, pointy-eared goblins, and several ferocious-looking gnolls silently surrounded them from all directions.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, their eyes vacant yet fanatical.

Anna finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Are they just low-ranking relatives?

Although she had no chance of winning against an adult dragon, she was still somewhat confident against these scum.

However, the creature that appeared the next second plunged Anna into utter despair.

At the very front, a robust, fully-feathered adult griffin walked gracefully through its retinue.

She didn't even look at Anna; her golden beak opened and closed slightly, and her sharp eyes looked past the mother dragon without hesitation before heading straight towards Wayne's direction, bowing her head deeply.

The griffin, along with all its retinue, performed an extremely humble bow.

"My apologies, Your Highness Wayne."

"By the strict orders of your mother, the great Empress Tia Gris—we must bring you back to the Dragon's Lair immediately."
