Chapter 56 Battle Between Mother and Son
"What did you say?"
The White Dragon Mother paused for a moment, slightly puzzled, and began to doubt if she had misheard.
Understanding the implications of Brian's words, her gaze turned icy, and her nearly mature Dragon's Might surged forth, advancing swiftly toward Brian.
The pulsing Dragon's Might was inherently invisible, but due to the swirling snow being affected by it, a ring-shaped ripple formed, sweeping towards Brian.
Brian stood his ground, allowing the Dragon's Might to wash over him.
His mind trembled, as if seeing a pair of Dragon's Eyes filled with malevolent intent, exuding the majesty of a top-tier predator.
In less than half a second, Brian effortlessly broke free from the White Dragon Mother's Dragon's Might. The snow-formed ripples that hit him felt like a gentle breeze, having no effect.
"I said, I want eighty percent of your treasure, or I'll take it by force. And by then I won't leave you a single gemstone or gold coin."
Brian fearlessly confronted the overwhelming Dragon's Might, showing no weakness.
He spread his Dragon Wings wide, extending them fully to the sides. As he raised his head, his four majestic dragon horns twisted and pointed towards the sky.
His platinum-gold dragon eyes locked onto the White Dragon Mother, and his own Dragon's Might stirred up a snowstorm, sweeping towards her.
Among True Dragons, Dragon's Might had little effect on each other, but releasing Dragon's Might was a signal to attack.
The White Dragon Mother fixed her gaze on Brian, unsure why he was so confident. She snorted coldly, "So you covet my treasure... My decision to drive you away was indeed correct."
After a pause, a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes, "Your growth over the past six months has given you the courage to challenge me, but the age gap between dragons cannot be bridged by growth speed!"
She said solemnly, "Brian, my stupid boy, today I'll teach you a bloody lesson.”
While Brain was rational and calm, the White Dragon Mother was Evil.
She was irritable, selfish, and cold-hearted.
Aware that Brian coveted her treasure, she could no longer tolerate it.
Under Brian's watchful gaze, the White Dragon Mother lifted her long neck, her white scales shimmering.
Elemental energy began to stir, and the surrounding wind became sharper like knives spinning at high speed.
Pseudo-magical ability, wind creation.
Stimulated by elemental energy, a violent whirlwind several dozen feet in diameter instantly formed, swirling the snow into a storm, and swept towards Brian with astonishing momentum.
The storm was like a blade, shattering many diamond-shaped snowflakes into pieces.
Brian did not wish to undergo the pseudo-magical abilities of an adult dragon, so he promptly tapped into temporal power, activating his fivefold speed state.
The storm moved quickly; he risked being caught without fivefold speed.
Brian's speed surpassed the storm, rising rapidly like a straight white line into the snowstorm, disappearing from the White Dragon Mother's sight just as he was about to be caught.
The White Dragon Mother was stunned.
Where did the dragon go?
The White Dragon Mother's pride in her True Dragon heritage led her to believe that a single wind creation spell could easily subdue Brian and crush his rebellious intentions. This pseudo-magical ability was typically only mastered by near-adult White Dragons, boasting significant power.
Failing to hit Brian and losing sight of him made the White Dragon Mother feel uneasy.
Meanwhile, Brian, now over several thousand feet above the White Dragon Mother, hidden in a cloud, looking down at her searching for him.
Taking a deep breath, Brian gathered his magic.
The White Dragon Mother was the most formidable creature he had faced yet. While he was confident that she was not his equal, he did not underestimate her and kept a calm and collected demeanor throughout the battle.
Brian's intention was not to kill the White Dragon Mother but to impart a lesson, so he refrained from using the Plunder Time Breath.
As Frost Breath gathered in his mouth, Brian folded his Dragon Wings, his body plummeting like a white meteor.
About two seconds later, just as the White Dragon Mother sensed the pressure from above and looked up in surprise.
She saw Brian with his dragon mouth open, icy blue light swirling within. His body spun downward, wings like sails, less than a hundred feet away from her.
Simultaneously, a blast of frost breath erupted, the icy blue column of the Dragon's Breath crashing onto the White Dragon Mother.
She had no time to dodge.
The Frost Breath, carrying bone-chilling cold winds and numerous solid ice spikes, slammed into the White Dragon Mother with tremendous force, causing her to be forcefully pushed towards the ground.
The Dragon's Breath was among the most potent attacks of a True Dragon, and being struck at close range was unbearable for the White Dragon Mother.
If not for being a White Dragon with high resistance to cold attacks, this direct hit would have left him severely injured.
Even so, she was in a sorry state.
The Frost Breath, carrying bone-chilling cold winds and numerous solid ice spikes, struck the White Dragon Mother with immense force, sending her plummeting towards the ground.
The Dragon's Breath was one of the most powerful attacks of a True Dragon, and being hit at such close range was unbearable for the White Dragon Mother.
She blinked, realizing she had been knocked from the sky by Brian's attack, feeling a surge of extreme shame and anger.
The White Dragon Mother found it difficult to accept the harsh reality that a two-year-old Newborn Dragon had managed to knock her down, despite being nearly an adult herself.
While part of the blame lay in her underestimation of him, the undeniable truth was that she initially found herself at a disadvantage.
Being knocked down by her own Newborn Dragon was a disgrace for any dragon. The pride of dragons made the White Dragon Mother feel as if flames were churning within her, her shame and anger reaching an unbearable level.
"Brian!"
The crisp dragon roar was filled with rage.
Hearing it, Brian felt a sense of revenge, an immense satisfaction, as if a heavy stone that had weighed on his heart was finally lifted.
He felt happier as the White Dragon Mother grew more humiliated and angrier.
Brian mocked, "Salia, are all adult dragons this weak, or are you particularly feeble?"
Hovering in the air with his Dragon Wings flapping, Brian looked down at the White Dragon Mother, not forgetting to mock her, calling her by name directly without any honorifics.
These words made the White Dragon Mother even more intolerant, and Brian's condescending gaze enraged her further.
A roar echoed through the surroundings as the thick snow burst forth like a white rainstorm.
Without delay, the White Dragon Mother ascended into the sky, her sharp Dragon Claws extending as she viciously clawed at Brian.
