Chapter 760 The Fall of An Emperor
"Im...possible...how are you this strong?!" Firindroth exclaimed in utter denial, "You, an equine...a mere equine!!"
The Fire Dragon Emperor had targeted Aemorus for the past three decades, hoping to consume his core and finally end the debate as to who among the three Dragon Emperors is the one true emperor of dragons.
Hence, Firindroth found it hard to believe the current situation.
It had been decisively defeated by the cursed white stallion it had been relentlessly pursuing like a beaten dog for so long.
'Would this be the end of I, Firindroth, the emperor of fire dragons?' the draconic overlord thought inwardly as it began plummeting to the ground.
However, just before crashing, the Fire Dragon Emperor gave a powerful flap of its wings, launching itself back into the air at an astonishing speed.
It was attempting to escape!
Firindroth looked at his fire dragon army while he was falling.
Upon realizing that all of his subordinates were dead, Firindroth had the sudden urge to preserve his life.
The Fire Dragon Emperor was still torn and uncertain about his decision, convinced that fleeing was a disgraceful act unworthy of any dragon, let alone an emperor like himself.
Unfortunately, it seemed that his body was suddenly out of his control, wanting to get as far away from the white stallion as possible.
'Impossible...fear? I, Firindroth, am afraid of that cursed steed? A mere equine?'
It was deeply ashamed of its actions.
Yet, when confronted with the metaphorical scythe of the grim reaper—a sensation it hadn't experienced in ages—Firindroth found himself clinging to life, valuing it above the pride and honor of being a dragon.
'N-No, this just means that I'm clever!' the draconic overlord consoled himself. 'Yes! As long as I'm alive, I will have the chance to resolve this knot in my heart—the chance to kill that arrogant white stallion! This is nothing but a temporary, tactical retreat! My subordinates have already been wiped out, so it would be foolish to keep fighting! I would shame my ancestors if I made a poor decision. After all, I am an emperor!'
Firindroth desperately sought solace through self-talk as he frantically flapped his wounded wings, ignoring the pain as long as he could escape.
"Go ahead, Shye Crowley. Do what you must." the white stallion responded.
"Thanks." Shye began, turning his attention to the dying dragon emperor, gazing right at Firindroth's eyes. "Tame!"
To his surprise, he was able to bring the Fire Dragon Emperor to the world of the white void, his perspective shifting onto that of the Black Humanoid.
Shye believed that with Firindroth's heart shaken and confused, he would have a chance to tame it.
However, he soon realized how mistaken he was.
The Fire Dragon Emperor felt deep shame over his decision to retreat.
Hence, no matter how fiercely Shye's Black Humanoid intimidated and struck him down, Firindroth refused to yield.
This time, he would rather face death than submit.
He would never bring shame to his race twice.
The battle raged on for a few hours within the world of white, but to those outside, it lasted only a few seconds, with Shye sighing in regret afterward.
"I see, so you failed to tame Firindroth, huh?" Aemorus sighed as well.
Despite defeating the Fire Dragon Emperor, the Pegasus did not look down on him, even believing that Firindroth would be a reliable ally if Shye succeeded. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire
After all, Aemorus had only won by using all of his most powerful skills, and he would have needed Zeth's assistance if he had failed to defeat Firindroth with them.
Alas, conquering someone with the heart of a conqueror was impossible.
As a result, the Black Humanoid had no choice but to obliterate the Fire Dragon Emperor's avatar inside the white void, effectively killing its true body as well.
By the time Shye regained consciousness, Firindroth had already died.
