Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Vhagar vs Cannibal
"Go away, I don't need you!"
Laena was about to check her husband's injuries when Daemon pushed her aside and laboriously climbed to his feet on his own.
Pfft...
Out of breath, Daemon spat out another mouthful of blood. He staggered towards Rhaegar, picked up what was left of the solid wood chair, and raised it high in the air, ready to slam it down again.
"Stop!"
Rhaenyra, shocked and disoriented, instinctively grabbed Rhaegar and turned to shield him.
"Get out of the way!"
Before Rhaenyra could fall, Rhaegar hurriedly dragged her to the side and seized her chair.
Compared to the dazed Daemon, Rhaegar seemed uninjured, and his strikes were still fast and hard.
Before Daemon could strike, Rhaegar rounded the side of the wooden chair and smashed his legs.
Wow...
The second solid wood chair shattered, and Daemon was knocked over, his head hitting the cold floorboards hard.
"That's enough, stop it!"
Seeing this, Corlys was shocked and moved to intervene.
On one side, Lyonel rushed out, his bloated body blocking the way, his eyes sharp.
"What do you mean?" Corlys glared.
Lyonel puffed out his chest and said in a deep voice, "We have complied with Princess Rhaenys' request, and now it's the second day!"
Though Lyonel appeared obese, it was just middle-aged fat. In his youth, he had been a warrior who could wield a hammer, and his eldest son, Harwin, had inherited his strength.
Laenor's face changed when he saw his father being stopped. Just as he stood up, a grease-stained table knife was pressed against his throat, forcing him to remain still.
Turning back, he saw an excited Aegon, knife in hand, saying with a sinister smile, "Stay still, cousin!"
He too was a pure Targaryen, with madness lurking within him, and he couldn't afford to let a big show be interrupted.
...
On the other hand, the fight between the two dragons continued.
Caraxes, having battlefield experience, did not lack battle prowess. In a panic, its claws stabbed into Cannibal's belly, trying to gut it.
"Roar..."
Cannibal, not willing to let that happen, roared and kicked Caraxes away. With a flap of his wings, he rose quickly into the air and circled around the unsteady Caraxes.
Soon, it found a weak point. Its huge body swooped down again, jaws wide open to attack Caraxes' neck.
Boom!
As it approached, Caraxes continued to spew dragonfire, trying to force the approaching black dragon to retreat. The flames seemed endless, as if they were inexhaustible.
Cannibal, with his thick skin, managed to break through the fire with his eyes closed.
Realizing the situation was dire, Caraxes stopped spewing fire and twisted its slender body to avoid the charge.
"Roar..."
Cannibal, faster, bit down on Caraxes' tail, dragging it. The tail, crucial for Caraxes' balance, was now a liability. Caraxes immediately turned its head and bit into Cannibal's neck.
Boom!
Cannibal let go of the tail and spat dragon fire, roaring.
Pfft...
Cannibal continued his attack, biting into Caraxes' wing. Dragon blood spurted into the night sky.
Amidst Caraxes' screams, Cannibal's eyes were filled with rage as it greedily tore at the flesh, violently ripping one wing apart.
With its wing severely damaged, Caraxes remembered the rainy night seven years ago when it crashed into the sea. In fear, it struggled desperately, burning Cannibal's head with dragon fire.
Cannibal twisted his head, sinking his claws into Caraxes' flesh and opening his mouth to bite at its neck.
"Roar..."
At that moment, a dragon's roar, like muffled thunder, filled the night sky with fury.
In the next second, a huge beast comparable to a mountain rushed out of the clouds and opened its bloody mouth to attack the defenseless Cannibal.
In response, the Cannibal bit down on Caraxes' neck, using it as a shield.
Boom!
A monstrous force struck, knocking Cannibal off balance and sending him tumbling to the ground.
"Roar..."
Caught in the middle, Caraxes let out a miserable scream and fell with Cannibal.
At that moment, Cannibal got a good look at the beast that attacked him: the fierce and tyrannical Vhagar.
A dragon shares the heart of its master. Rhaegar and Daemon fought, and Cannibal attacked Caraxes.
Laena worried about Daemon, and Vhagar came to rescue his long-time companion, Caraxes.
However, Caraxes was now in a terrible state.
The three dragons were entangled, with Cannibal in the most dangerous position, back on the ground.
Vhagar slowly descended, and Cannibal flapped its wings desperately to escape.
"Roar..."
Vhagar recognized Cannibal and immediately chased after it as it fled. As the two giants disappeared, Caraxes managed to move, flapping its intact wing to break its fall and avoid death.
Still, it let out a mournful cry at the impact. It lay on its back, writhing in the shallows below like a long red snake.
In the sky, Vhagar and Cannibal chased each other, creating a storm that swept across half of Driftmark.
Cannibal quickly disappeared into the night clouds, planning to sneak up on them the old-fashioned way. Vhagar, more experienced in battle, spewed orange and yellow dragonfire that covered the sky.
"Roar..."
Cannibal burst through the flames, bloodthirsty eyes locked on Vhagar, biting into the opponent's thick neck.
"Roar..."
"Roar..."
The struggle between the two dragons had just begun. Several roars were heard on Driftmark, one after the other. First appeared a red dragon with fierce reddish scales and a crown.
Following was a slightly smaller white dragon with a light silver-gray body. Both dragons roared upon seeing Cannibal biting Vhagar.
At the same time, two more golden dragons of similar size emerged from the night sky. The four dragons faced each other in the air, an uneasiness rising.
"Roar..."
The most handsome Sunfyre, with the strongest temperament, locked his pupils on the larger Meraxes and charged.
Its courage was immense; last time it had dared to attack Dreamfyre, and now it had no fear of Meleys.
"Roar..."
Sunfyre sounded the horn of war, and Sea Smoke roared, swooping down to face the angry Syrax.
In an instant, the six dragons faced each other, fighting each other within the sky.
The roar of the six dragons was so loud it woke countless people from their sleep.
On the night sky, various colors of dragon fire competed and erupted, painting the sky in gold, scarlet, orange, and ghostly green.
"Roar..."
The battle intensified as Cannibal bit down on Vhagar's neck, its claws piercing through the scaled armor. After years of growth, Vhagar was still a formidable force. With excellent speed, it was not without a fighting chance.
"Roar..."
Bitten by the neck, Vhagar let out a dull roar. Its claws immediately ripped open the belly of Cannibal, tearing a bloody gash.
The old dragon's fury would make the younger generation understand the consequences of offending it.
