347 Chapter 347: Battle in the Sky
Balerion, though smaller in size, was ferocious. He spewed raging dragon flames and then dove down to engage in close combat with the green dragon.
Boom—
Two massive creatures, each nearly a hundred tons and dozens of meters long, clashed in the sky. Their collision produced a dull sound, and the dragons' roars echoed like thunder.
"Roar—"
Balerion was undoubtedly sent flying, letting out a deafening roar. A shocking wound appeared on his body, covered in black scales.
However, the black dragon's massive wings flapped continuously to stabilize his body. He showed no fear of battle. His ferocious head rose again, undeterred, and he dove down once more, carrying the wind and flames with him.
Meanwhile, Viserys, who was riding on the dragon's back, unbuckled his belt and drew the Valyrian steel sword he had recently acquired.
The sword had a gilded cross-guard, a black hilt, and a blade as smooth as water. It was a hand-and-a-half sword, slightly longer than a standard longsword but shorter than a greatsword. It could be used with one hand or two.
Clang—
Viserys drew the unnamed Valyrian steel sword, its sharp cold light illuminating his face.
The silver-haired young man gripped the dragon scales with one hand as the wind howled in his ears. He then stood up from his seat, turned his head, and shouted to Mia.
"You're about to become a dragon rider. Hold on to the saddle!"
"What are you going to do?!"
Mia, seeing Viserys's actions, was shocked, her voice distorted.
She clung tightly to the spot where Viserys had just been holding, not daring to let go.
From the moment Viserys drew his sword, she had a very ominous premonition, and now it was becoming a reality.
"What am I going to do?"
Viserys seemed very calm. He stood on the dragon's back, his silver-gold hair fluttering in the wind, gripping the scales tightly.
"Ever seen a Hollywood blockbuster?"
"Wha...what?"
Mia didn't quite understand, and Viserys showed a slight smile on his face, shaking his head without explaining anything.
"Never mind, I was just talking nonsense. Forget it if you don't understand."
Then Viserys continued.
"A dragon rider fights alongside his dragon. Of course, I'm going to kill this beast."
"Are you crazy?"
On the other side, Mia understood his words and felt like her nose was about to twist in anger.
She thought Viserys must be crazy. She was already nervous to death, and this man actually wanted to get involved in the fight between the dragons.
"Do you think you can intervene in a dragon fight? You don't have wings. Who do you think you are? A god?"
The red-haired girl gripped the saddle tightly, shouting against the howling wind.
"The gods can't save us now!"
Viserys shrugged slightly.
He was worried that the fight between the two dragons would attract more terrifying monsters from the ruins of Valyria. After all, not long ago, Balerion's roar had attracted a dragon.
"If we don't deal with it, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."
Viserys seemed indifferent to Mia's complaints, but in fact, he was extremely nervous inside, which was why he had just blurted out a truth to relieve the pressure.
Although he had experimented with this move before, this time it was being used in real combat, and at such a height, his legs were a bit weak.
Boom
—
But the next second, the two dragons, now truly enraged, clashed fiercely once more.
Balerion showed his ferocity. After being wounded, he became even more courageous, fiercely rushing up to bite his opponent.
Viserys, on the dragon's back, gripped the scales tightly, managing to withstand the massive impact without being thrown off.
He and Balerion were in sync, and he was also secretly directing Balerion in the fight against the other dragon.
At this moment, Viserys finally saw his opportunity.
"Now!"
Whoosh—
The silver-haired youth suddenly let go, leaping off the dragon's back with all his strength.
Holding the Valyrian steel sword, he stabbed directly at the green dragon's crimson eye from above.
The green dragon obviously didn't expect the human on the other dragon's back to be so bold. He seized the opportunity and suddenly leapt down, stabbing at its eye. It was too late to dodge and was brutally stabbed.
Puff—
Viserys, holding the Valyrian steel sword, leapt down and stabbed into the green dragon's eye.
The next second.
"Roar!!"
Under the gray sky, a painful dragon roar suddenly echoed.
The green dragon flapped its wings in confusion, its massive body twisting and struggling in the air. Its mournful roar filled the sky.
The green dragon's eye was blinded by Viserys, blood flowing out, and Viserys was undoubtedly thrown off by the green dragon's violent struggle, falling freely from the sky.
"Viserys!"
Mia, who was on the dragon's back, saw this and her eyes widened, her eyes instantly turning red.
Falling from such a height, even if the sea of smoke was below, he would be killed on impact.
The red-haired girl couldn't believe that Viserys was just going to fall and die like this. Her eyes turned red and tears welled up, being carried away by the howling wind and scattered in the air.
Balerion also seized this opportunity. Taking advantage of the green dragon's continuous struggle and fall from the sky, he opened his huge mouth and bit off one of its hind legs.
Blood spilled freely onto the sea surface, and the green dragon's hind leg was bitten off by Balerion, leaving only a pale bone.
"Roar—"
The green dragon, in pain, let out another earth-shattering roar. It lifted its other hind leg and scratched Balerion's body, instantly adding another deep wound to the black dragon. Dragon blood was sprinkled in the air.
However, Mia was oblivious to this. The red-haired girl just held onto the saddle tightly, her tears falling like broken pearls.
She didn't care whether Balerion had won or not, she only cared whether Viserys was still alive.
"Why are you crying?"
However, at this moment, a hand reached out from behind Mia and patted her shoulder.
"Viserys?"
Mia's face was still full of tears. She turned her head to look at the panting man standing behind her, her face full of disbelief.
Viserys was covered in dragon blood and some unknown fluid from the dragon's eyeball, looking somewhat disheveled.
He had turned into a cloud of black mist and returned to Balerion's back after being thrown off.
And just as Balerion was about to dive down and end the life of the green dragon, several more dragon figures appeared in the distance.
As expected, this battle had disturbed the peace of Valyria, and the dragons infected by the black mist began to gradually awaken.
"Balerion, retreat quickly!"
Viserys's face was slightly tense as he saw this.
The
green dragon let out a huge roar as it fell into the sea of smoke, and was immediately targeted by a sea monster lurking beneath the smoke. The dragon roared in protest.
While Balerion was eager to kill the green dragon, he had to obey Viserys's command.
The massive wounds on his body were still bleeding profusely, falling into the sea of smoke.
Then, spreading his wings, he flew towards the area outside the sea of smoke.
Not long after, the layers of smoke from the sea were close at hand, and the horizon began to turn a fish-belly white.
