Gradually, the flying unit approached.
The leading black dragon spread his wings, transforming into a massive black curtain that completely enveloped the entire Pioneer Territory.
The vast Dragonkin army followed closely, their formation neat, and their flight speed began to slow in unison.
They began to descend, but to the other people present, it felt as if the sky itself was slowly and orderly lowering.
Toka held his breath, feeling the blood in his entire body congeal, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
All he could do was pour his entire will into the tightly clutched Divine Emblem—under this terrifying pressure, like a collapsing mountain, only his faith in his Lord could bring him a fragile sense of calm.
His gaze was fixed on the black dragon at the very front.
Too powerful—that oppressive feeling, even from hundreds of feet in the air, the Dragon's Might he exuded still pressed down on Toka's heart like a giant boulder.
An urge, stemming from his primal instinct for survival, to turn and flee at all costs, violently assaulted his reason.
However, Toka's feet did not move.
Even though his knees were uncontrollably trembling violently under the heavy pressure of the Dragon's Might, he still forced his back straight, raised his head, and strained with all his might to look up at the shadow that covered the sky and sun. This was the sacred territory of the Emberglow Dragon!
As the person in charge here, he was the executor of his Lord's will!
Even if he were to be shattered to pieces, he must guard this place!
Just then, Frost Fang in the sky let out a shriek mixed with anger and fear, mustering his last bit of courage, flapping his wings and attempting to charge towards the leading black dragon.
However, just as he was about to get close, the black dragon's eyes, burning with crimson flames, casually glanced at him.
Just a glance!
Frost Fang's body stiffened abruptly in mid-air as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, and he spun out of control for half a turn.
He let out a mournful wail, falling to the ground like a broken kite, splashing up large amounts of black soil, unable to get back up.
This Proto-Dragon "Priest," whom Toka still considered powerful, was utterly defeated and lost all will to fight with just a single glance from the opponent!
Toka felt his will was on the verge of collapse—he knew his Lord was also a black dragon, but the aura, the pressure, and even the bone-chilling coldness of this black dragon before him were starkly different from his Lord!
Most crucially, the Divine Emblem on his chest showed no reaction; the clear connection of faith between him and his Lord seemed to be cut off at this moment!
Who is he? Why has he descended here? Friend? Foe?!
Toka felt his heart about to leap out of his throat!
And that immensely powerful black dragon figure, carrying a destructive sense of oppression, was approaching the ground step by step, also approaching the final answer.
Whether it was the answer he hoped for or the one he feared, it would be revealed in an instant!
Rumble—!
The massive dragon figure descended from the sky, his heavy body landing lightly, and the air currents stirred by the retraction of his wings formed a small storm, instantly blowing away several simple shacks at the edge of the camp!
However, after the black dragon landed, he did not raise his head to let out a roar claiming sovereignty, nor did he display intimidation towards any of the terrified creatures around him. Under the countless gazes of fear, hatred, or despair, his dragon head slowly, with an indescribable sense of gravity, lowered.
His direction was directly facing the black giant rock inscribed with the Divine Emblem of the Dragon God's vertical pupil.
He bowed, in salute.
Time, as if frozen at this moment.
Toka had never seen, nor had he ever imagined, a dragon so powerful, so majestic, would bow in such a humble posture to a symbol.
But at this moment, his suspended heart finally dropped with a thud!
Frost Fang lay sprawled in the mud, completely losing the courage to even look up.
The agitated Proto-Dragon group behind him also gradually quieted their chaotic hissing due to the black dragon's unexpected action, leaving only heavy breaths and frightened whimpers.
