Balagas "Flying Flame" is undoubtedly a crazy, cruel, violent red dragon that is more evil than most colored dragons and likes to kill and destroy.
In Amn's records alone, there are more than a hundred records of him attacking towns.
The most serious one even surpassed the defenses of Askatra and landed directly in the center of the city, destroying a scholar's house and devouring the scholar himself.
As for the reason, it is said that it may be the paper published by the scholar which revealed that Balagas suffers from a very rare mental illness unique to dragons - insomnia.
It is also this disease that makes him far more diligent, active, and energetic than others of the same kind, instead of staying in a nest and sleeping all day long.
In addition, Balagas also likes to publicize and expand his reputation through some public executions, so that more mortals will fear and awe him.
For example, slowly landing on the ruins created by one's own hands in a majestic manner, or dropping a mutilated corpse from a high altitude into a crowded area.
In addition, anyone who has provoked or offended him will inevitably suffer crazy revenge.
If the enemy's strength is too strong, Balagas will choose to attack the opponent's weaknesses, such as killing spouses, friends, relatives, and destroying homes and towns.
In short, this ancient red dragon can be said to be a very typical evil dragon. It will never allow anyone to violate or resist its own will, otherwise it will only end in death.
The reason why he is so famous is because he is too active and has caused huge threats and destruction to the entire Amn and surrounding areas.
This is completely different from the fact that the "Sharp Teeth" of Ivicola Sagram did not come out for activities for almost a hundred years after destroying the Shane Empire, mainly for the purpose of collecting taxes.
His title of Dragon King is based on countless killings and destruction.
Those dragons that are stronger than Balagos are not as active as him, and the young dragons that are more active than this guy are far less powerful than him.
Coupled with his retributive character and unscrupulous behavior, he has become a huge security risk for the newly established trade alliance, so he was targeted by Zuo Si and regarded as a target that must be eradicated.
Now, this ancient red dragon, who was once arrogant and believed that he could rule the entire dragon race through brutal means, and then led them to destroy all cities and civilizations, leaving only the weak and submissive races as food, tasted for the first time those who were
What does it feel like when he uses his size advantage to crush the same kind of people?
Frustrated!
Powerless!
No matter how hard you struggle, you can't break free!
At this moment, Wilmes was like a "weird aunt" with big arms, round waist and exploding muscles. She pushed Balagas, the "little young lady", to the ground and repeatedly tortured her.
Perhaps at the beginning, he could still use the blessing's protection and strengthening spells to fight back and forth.
At least with the resistance of [Iron Bone], [Stone Skin Technique], and [Shield Technique], plus the advantages brought by [Tamson Transformation Technique] and [Acceleration Technique], the damage suffered by both sides can be said to be almost the same.
.
But the problem is that as time goes by, the [acceleration spell] with the shortest duration will soon disappear.
After all, this transformation magic only adds six seconds for each additional casting level.
Even if calculated based on LV20, it only lasts one hundred and twenty seconds, which is about two minutes.
Following the disappearance of [Acceleration Technique], [Tamson Transformation Technique] disappeared.
The transformation magic also adds six seconds to each casting level, which adds up to just over two minutes.
If the disappearance of [Acceleration Technique] only slowed down Balagas's movement speed, attack frequency, and reaction, then the disappearance of [Tamson Transformation Technique] completely caused him to lose his last reliance in close combat.
Not to mention anything else, just a sudden reduction of four points in strength, constitution and agility attributes is very fatal.
You must know that in terms of strength and physique, he was already far different from Wilmes, who was nearly three times his size, and now he was even more suppressed and had no power to fight back.
Not to mention that what disappeared with it was the massive hand-to-hand combat skills that were poured into the brain, the tolerance for pain, and the cold thinking like a fighting machine.
In comparison, the advantage of being able to recast the spell after releasing [Tamson's Transformation Spell] is basically negligible.
Because at heart Balagas is actually the same as Wilmes, a warrior dragon who prefers to use fangs, claws and fire breathing weapons.
Techniques like cleave, leap attack, hover, proficient initiative, delayed breath, multi-attack, power attack, ingestion, flip, etc., it's like a thief to play.
Among them, diving down from the sky and accurately ejecting powerful high-temperature flames at the moment of high-speed movement can be called a "unique skill", and it also won the title of "Flying Flame".
But you have to mention your spell-casting skills...
Sorry, Balagas is really not very good at it.
It doesn’t matter that he has a natural LV20 warlock spellcasting level, but in fact he doesn’t even have a decent metamagic skill.
This also means that during fierce melee combat, it is impossible to imitate Ivicola Sagram's "Sharp Teeth" in using skills such as instant spells. You can only cast one or two in the neutral position without chanting too many spells or spells.
It is a low-level spell that performs complex spellcasting actions.
And this kind of spell is used to attack Wilmes, who is nearly 150 meters long and has exploding muscles all over his body. It is probably too light to even scratch an itch.
Therefore, Balagas can only use spells such as [Giant Transformation], [Ox Power], [Cat Elegance] and other spells to strengthen himself.
As for the best flame breath, it is completely useless against similar creatures that are immune to fire damage.
The two red dragons fought from the ground to the sky, and then from the sky to the ground. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, a "Dragon King Battle" was staged.
The flames they accidentally sprayed out during the battle had already caused the mountains and forests within a radius of several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers to begin to burn violently.
The animals and various monster tribes screamed and turned into ashes in a sea of ​​fire.
Whether it is the rulers and mages in Zhazesibo City, or other dragons, ogre magicians and some creatures with relatively high intelligence living near the Xingxuan Mountains, they are all hiding in the dark and watching closely what is happening.
Those silver dragons who like to meddle in other people's business, or the golden dragons who are full of justice, now do not dare to make even the slightest sound.
Because these dragons know that no matter whether Balagas or Wilmes wins the final victory, their situation will not change in any way.
At best, it is just changing from one tyrant to another more powerful tyrant.
But what they didn't know was that their secret observation behavior had long been captured by Kurremos and Ximanmeng, and the locations of the nests were recorded one by one.
These two old bastards will not easily let go of such an opportunity to count how many dragons and other high-level magical creatures live in the Star Swirl Mountains.
In particular, Kurremos has left magical marks near some dragons' lairs, and it is unknown what he is planning.
Of course, Wilmes didn't care about these little tricks and didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Now all the latter can think about is how to tear Balagas into pieces alive while preventing him from escaping.
At the moment, the Purgatory Red Dragon has bitten off the latter's wings from his body, and even blinded one of his eyes with its claws.
If it hadn't been for the unknown healing props, Balagas would have been lying on the ground and turned into a corpse.
"You're done! Feiyan! In a few minutes at most, I will take away everything that originally belongs to you! I will be the undisputed Dragon King from Baldur's Gate to Amn to Tethyr!"
Wilmes opened his mouth stained red with blood and declared victory.
Although she was seriously injured, the scales in some places were almost peeled off during the battle, and blood kept flowing down the wounds.
But at this time, the advantages of rigorously trained muscles in resisting blows are revealed.
Balagas's bites and claws can cause fatal damage to other dragons. In front of Wilmes, they can only scratch the scales and leave a bite mark or scratch mark on the taut muscles.
It's still far from damaging the internal organs, blood vessels and arteries.
In addition, the latter is larger and can withstand more attacks, so the outcome of the battle is doomed from the moment the two sides get entangled.
"I admit defeat! Let me go! I am willing to hand over all the treasures, names and servants I own to you, and I am even willing to surrender to you."
Balagos endured the severe pain from every corner of his body, and finally could no longer maintain his usual proud posture.
He is too weak, so weak that he has no strength to fight back.
The chest was torn open and blood was constantly spurting out, and one could even see the huge beating heart inside.
As one of the most famous tyrants in Faerûn, Balagos knew that if he continued to fight, he would definitely die, without even the slightest hope of victory.
In addition, he also wanted to find out what was going on with the purgatory red dragon in front of him.
Why do you have such an unnaturally huge body shape and an innate spellcasting ability that people don’t know how to describe?
"Treasure? Surrender?"
Wilmes's eyes instantly shone, and he was obviously a little moved.
After all, she left Zuo Si's mage tower to set up her own business, and one of her most important goals was to gain more wealth.
Moreover, having a once-famous veteran Dragon King surrender at his feet can also give him an indescribable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
Seeing that the opponent stopped attacking, Balagas immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly added: "I have an artifact [Mithril Chain of Sorrow] that can help you capture and tame other dragons to serve you.
I myself have used this artifact to tame many teenage dragons.
Nowadays, there is still a young brown dragon and a black dragon who are faithfully fulfilling their duties of guarding the lair for me.
