Chapter 145 Dragon Tyranny
"call……"

"What a formidable enemy."

After confirming that the shadow dragon had left, the red dragon slowly landed on the ground and licked its wounds.

【Dragon's Breath】

Golden life energy particles rained down from the sky, quickly healing the injuries, allowing the slightly weak dragon body to gradually recover visibly.

"One day, I'm going to kill him."

"Motifer."

Cassius pronounced the name that represented the night.

The red dragon stared at the place where the shadow dragon left, his face was a little ferocious, and flames seemed to be burning in his golden pupils. He had been beaten into his territory by others, and he had to take revenge no matter what. In the near future, he would crush the giant dragon hiding in the shadow.

But now is not the time, my strength is far from strong enough.

The surroundings were already in a mess, and were still filled with traces of the Shadow Curse. A thin black mist still emanated from the broken branches and splashing soil.

But the moon finally appeared in the sky, casting its gentle and quiet moonlight, purifying the shadowy energy that permeated the surroundings.

Cassius could feel that due to Duke Brad's sacrifice of everything, the space here became extremely thin, and even had a tendency to become the boundary between the main material world and the Shadow Underworld.

Mortifer was not lying, the transformation was still going on unless the source of the curse, the Shadow Dragon, was eliminated.

"but……"

"It's finally over for now, all this."

The shadow dragon was indeed powerful, possessing absolute suppression power. The black fog covering the sky also made him realize his own insignificance.

Fortunately, he was well aware of the principle of "the fox borrows the power of the tiger" and pulled out the tiger skin of Tiamat, the five-colored dragon queen, and scared the shadow dragon away.

But all power beyond control comes at a price, and Tiamat's horrific visions are no exception.

"Maybe, it's not over yet."

Cassius looked up at the sky and suddenly held his breath.

The illusion that should have appeared only in Mortifil's eyes now appeared before him.

This is the power of the gods. Even if you just create an illusion, say a name, or even think of a concept, they can sense it and use it as a medium to come into the world.

Different from the powerful oppressive feeling that the Shadow Dragon brought to the darkness, what the Dragon Mother brought to him was a despair that transcended levels.

Five heads looked down at him condescendingly.

"Hello again, my child."

The look in his eyes was more like greed than kindness.

This look made Cassius feel as if his soul was seen through. He did not dare to look at her again. He just lowered his head and said calmly, "Greetings to the great mother of evil dragons, the five-colored dragon queen, Her Majesty Tiamat."

"I sincerely apologize to you. Just now, in order to drive away the Shadow Dragon, I took the liberty of borrowing your reputation and using your majestic image. This was truly an act of usurpation."

Tiamat chuckled, and the white dragon head said, "Oh, it doesn't matter." The green dragon head said, "You did a good job. You built a kingdom for dragons in Anzeta. You didn't bury the glory of the dragons."

The black dragon head said: "But there are greater tests waiting for you in the future, my child."

Finally, the red dragon head said: "Ten years. I want you to unify Anzeta within ten years, go south to Fadlan, and become my helper in ruling the world. This will be part of the great blueprint of the entire dragon clan."

"When I ascend the throne, the tyranny of the gods will end, the rule of dragons will reappear on earth, and dragon wings will once again cover the main material world. As one of my assistants, you, my child, will become a duke serving me, and you will also gain great power and endless wealth."

Tiamat's eyes were filled with endless greed. Perhaps she had spent too much time in Avernus, and her words seemed to lead Cassius into hell.

When he heard the words "great blueprint", Cassius' heart skipped a beat. No matter how he thought about it, it seemed wrong. He thought that the line sounded familiar, and wondered if he had heard it somewhere before.

But he still lowered his head, pretending to be extremely excited, and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Do your will."

The illusion of Tiamat in the air suddenly disappeared, and Cassius finally breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly built a mental barrier to block the [Terrible Illusion of Tiamat] in his mind.

Information refreshed on his panel.

[You gain the status [Tiamat's Greedy Gaze], your ferocious presence will gain an additional bonus, your proficiency: Intimidation +6]
“I’m almost a voter now.”

"Tsk, I want to be a rebellious son but I can't..."

After all, Cassius is just a poor teenage red dragon with a challenge level of 17. What can he do?

Under the powerful pressure from the Dragon Mother, he was forced to be a filial son. After all, if you are taking advantage of someone else, you still have to give them some face.

Several warning messages were refreshed on the panel again.

Tiamat's words seemed to be praise and commendation, but Cassius knew very well that this mother of dragons was definitely not a good person, and there must be interests in him that she coveted.

If you trust Tiamat's words, you will be eaten up without leaving any residue.

Cassius was very familiar with the tactics she used - empty promises. He often used the same tactics on his subordinates, but now it was used on himself, which made Cassius feel a little strange.

"Kings quarrel, dragons rule tyrannically."

"We must improve our capabilities quickly, otherwise we won't be able to cope with this world-class event."

Cassius thought to himself.

This is one of the side quests in the 2.0 version of [Clash of Kings]. The Holy Fadran Empire, also known as the Blazing Sun Empire, is the country with the largest territory and the most powerful military force in the Central Continent.

Its emperor received the gift of the sun god Amantana, and with the help of the artifact "Wheel of Eternal Glory", he created a Fiery Sun Legion that was comparable to the gods. This army was invincible and conquered a vast territory for the empire, declaring that "everywhere the sun shines is our territory."

But after the old emperor, Aragon I, known as the "Sun King", died unexpectedly, his huge empire collapsed. His three princes divided up the remains of the empire, forming the three orthodox kingdoms of Cassander, Thrace, and Seleucid. The god-descended nobles of the Sun Legion also established countries of all sizes.

For a time, the empire fell apart and the nations were scattered all over the place, which was known in history as the "Great Collapse of Holy Fadran", and this was also the beginning of the [Clash of Kings].

Tiamat used the cult to control the Seleucid Kingdom in the southwest of Fadran, trying to summon her own body, so that the dragon's rule would return to the earth and Tiamat's reputation would spread again. This is [Dragon Tyranny]

　The pace of these chapters is indeed bad, and it is indeed a bit toxic. This is my problem. I will try my best to speed up the progress. There will definitely be a revenge plot, and I promise that similar plots will not appear later.
