Chapter 695: Chapter 693: Creating a Legend of the Dragon Knight Chapter 695: Chapter 693: Creating a Legend of the Dragon Knight The winds of freedom blew as Russell had already appeared on the battlefield of the Snowfield to the south of Cloud Dream Oasis.

With the Ancient Dragon of Freedom, Saiban, now under his command, the workload of the Nightmare Beast Senbula had significantly decreased. Now whenever Russell left home, it was Saiban who saw him off.

“Russell!”

The Frost Giant, entangled in combat with a Harpy, was startled upon seeing Russell, but it didn’t attempt to flee.

It had been assigned to lead the Giant Army to attack the Shadowflame Kingdom, never expecting to return alive. Even if it wanted to, it couldn’t return alive—after all, even the mightiest like the Eternal Three Snows and Gu Xin had been slaughtered by Russell, let alone this creature.

But it had no choice but to attack the Shadowflame Kingdom.

For the sake of the Frost Star and for the tribe it belonged to, this was its sole fate.

“Die.” Russell lifted his hand with a sword, and with that motion, the power of Dragonflame surged along with the sword’s light, striking at the Frost Giant.

There were no fancy battle scenes, only a brief moment where a few casual swings of his sword left the Frost Giant cleaved into pieces, falling to the ground as chunks of flesh.

He spread his five fingers open.

From the Shadowflame Dragon, Russell had learned how to refine Frost Star Beads, and within moments, the giant’s remains were transformed into a watermelon-sized Frost Star Bead.

After patting it twice and exchanging a few words with Hape, Russell lightly touched the green leaf mark, summoning Saiban to take him back to Shadowflame Volcano.

“Shadowflame, do you still need Frost Star Beads?” Russell asked, holding up the sparkling watermelon-sized bead.

The head of the Shadowflame Dragon emerged from the magma, unable to suppress flames bursting from its eyes, and it slowly shook its head, “Can’t eat anymore, Shadowflame really can’t eat any more, Russell, keep this Frost Star Bead for yourself.”

“Okay.”

“Russell,” the Shadowflame Dragon suddenly said.

“If there’s anything, just say it,” Russell looked at the Shadowflame Dragon, sensing that the power of the fire element within it had reached an indescribable critical state, on the verge of a transformation.

“The rule is right before us, hope is right before our eyes… Shadowflame is ready to charge down this path!”

“Are you sure you’ve accumulated enough?”

“Enough, more than enough, Shadowflame’s accumulation can’t grow any further. If I don’t surge forward now, waiting longer won’t make any difference!” the Shadowflame Dragon lifted its head, gazing up at the volcano’s mouth.

At that moment.

Snippets of its more than four hundred-year-long dragon life began to drift through its mind.

The first time it met Quentin Shadowflame, the hundred or so years spent with Quentin II Shadowflame, the moment of life and death parting in the Quentin III Shadowflame Snowfield… Though it spent most of its four hundred years asleep, there were still too many tangled memories.

But soon.

These memories were sealed away, and the memories starting from when it first encountered Russell began to gradually fill its entire mind.

The duration of these memories was not long, only eight years, but the excitement experienced in those eight years far exceeded all of its previous four centuries of existence. These years propelled it from an ordinary dragon to the pinnacle of strength.

“Choice is greater than effort…” thought the Shadowflame Dragon.

In the next moment, its heart became firm: “After making a choice, what’s left is all about effort!”

“Have you decided?” Russell looked over.

Lowering its head to gently meet Russell’s gaze, the Shadowflame Dragon replied, “I have decided!”

“Remember, Shadowflame, I am always with you,” Russell smiled, “We are one, your path is my path. You touch the power of the rule behind the fire, and I will grasp the supreme secret technique of the fire element!”

He leaped onto the head of the Shadowflame Dragon, sitting atop the throne.

He placed a steel long sword across his knees, beginning to discern the deeper secret techniques of the fire element: “The fire element is the bubbling of magic power, so the ultimate bubbling is burning… This supreme secret technique, will be called… Flame Sword!”

At that moment.

A man and a dragon began to tread a path that had never before existed.

Blizzard Volcano Oasis, since the great battle that extinguished the snow, had again encountered joyous news after the Blizzard Dragon had recovered its state.

Within the Volcanic Oasis, a new Bipedal Flying Dragon had been born, undeniably further strengthening the power of the Blizzard Dragon. Since its birth, the Blizzard Dragon, severely wounded by the Frost Snow Giants, had yet to experience the thrill of progress.

Now, it finally felt it.

“War is both a disaster and an opportunity!” the Blizzard Dragon had a deep realization, “But Blizzard needs a Knight, to gain more advantages in the coming battles!”

It searched among the elite Knights of the Knight Regiment, eyeing candidates.

Perhaps deeply influenced by Russell, it particularly favored three Knights, Roland Yingguangjun, Weilim Ginnari, and the female Knight Katie.

But none of the three Knights could meet its ideal of perfection, leaving it indecisive and hesitant in making a choice.

At that moment, the demon-hunting tower on the border issued an alarm.

Two Giant Armies striding from both southeast and northwest were advancing towards Blizzard Volcano Oasis, clearly aiming to invade once more.

“Damn it!”

The Blizzard Dragon said wordlessly, “Blizzard has just been born, haven’t even started developing the Volcanic Oasis, and we must be invaded day after day by Frost Snow Giants! No no no, we can’t wait any longer, Blizzard needs to choose a Knight immediately!”

At this moment.

It repeatedly weighed the three Knight candidates in its mind.

Finally, as night fell, it made its final choice, “Roland’s mind is too cluttered and impure, Willem is bound by the legacy of his ancestors… Katie has a singular mind, a steadfast will, although she is a female Knight…”

Thus far.

The Dragon Sleep Continent had only seen a handful of female Flying Dragon Knights, never yet a female Dragon Knight.

“Why can’t I, with Katie, create a new record?” the Blizzard Dragon looked up at the volcano’s mouth.

Though it held no desire for novelty for its own sake.

It wasn’t averse to making big news. The Shadowflame Dragon had initially been willing to set aside its draconic pride to bond with Russell, an innovatory act. Now, which Dragon would not envy the Shadowflame Dragon?

Huff huff…

Magic Power Dragon Language rang out as it said to the Knights on duty inside the volcano, “Go and summon Knight Commander Katie.”

“Yes.” The eyes of the Knight on duty sparkled.

He too longed to become the Blizzard Dragon’s Knight, but evidently, the Blizzard Dragon favored Roland, Willem, and Katie more, all three of whom were from the Shadowflame Kingdom.

Obviously.

Dragons, too, were opportunistic, understanding the value of aligning with the powerful.

While his thoughts whirled, the Knight on duty did not slow his pace, and quickly brought Katie over.

“Your Highness Blizzard, you summoned me?” Katie saluted by pounding her chest.

The Blizzard Dragon immediately moved its head closer, staring intently at Katie until she felt chills down her spine. Then it finally spoke, “Katie, the sole female Knight of the Knight Regiment, your performances here have all been seen by Blizzard.”

After a pause,

it continued in a calm voice, “So, Knight Commander Katie, would you like to join with Blizzard in creating a remarkable tale of the Dragon Knight?”

Thump thump!

Katie’s heart skipped a beat. Despite having imagined this very scenario many times, the actual moment still left her feeling constricted, as if she were about to suffocate.

Fortunately, her spirit was strong enough, and with a powerful will, she managed to control her nerves.

Raising her head, she replied with conviction to the Blizzard Dragon, “Why not? Katie has long awaited this day, Your Highness Blizzard!”

One person and one dragon gazed at each other quietly.

After a long while, a scale on the head of the Blizzard Dragon quickly morphed into the silhouette of a throne, and it spoke slowly, “Very well, come forth, Blizzard’s Knight, Katie!”
