Ashen Dragon

Chapter 848: Chapter 171: The Last Dwarf_2

Thinking of this, a surge of furious flame erupted from Stieg’s eyes. He abruptly swung his massive head around, his blood-red jaws opening wide, and roared with unbridled wrath: “Dwarf, I’ll burn you to ashes!”

“Boom——”

Intense dragonflame surged forth from the bipedal wyvern’s throat, its searing tongues of fire raging and advancing towards the dwarf not far away.

Ed calmly raised his left arm, as sand, gravel, and dust gathered around his body, swiftly consolidating into a massive shield.

Rock Solid Shield!

Then, Ed lifted the giant shield in his left hand, gripped his warhammer tightly in his right, and, without a trace of fear, charged headlong through the engulfing flames.

He roared with indignant fury: “Come, monster! Dwarves were forged from Father God Moradin’s anvil. We will never fear flame!”

Seeing the dwarf barrelling straight towards him, Stieg suddenly felt a pang of alarm. He flapped his wings forcefully, whipping up scalding winds in an attempt to blow the dwarf away.

Yet, the dwarf stood rooted as though fused with the earth beneath him, taking solid and powerful strides toward the wyvern. The ground below his feet swelled like winding mountain ranges.

In that moment, Stieg finally understood the meaning of “Master of High Mountains.” It wasn’t mere dwarven bravado—it was a description of pure truth!
