Chapter 626: What Are You Doing, Norbert?

According to Ivan's plan, the aerial battle was supposed to last longer and be more thrilling. It wasn't supposed to end with him just waving his wand and having Norbert fall from the sky and collapse on the ground.

This was just too fake!

While Ivan was thinking this to himself, Norbert was trying hard to remember what he should do next.

Although Ivan's Blast Spell didn't directly harm him, the subsequent shockwaves left Norbert a bit dazed.

They stood there for a full minute, and Ivan, feeling quite speechless, finally lowered his voice to remind Norbert.

"Use your tail to strike!"

With Ivan's repeated prompts, Norbert finally made a move. He stretched his body, let out a roar, and swung his long dragon tail, which moved so quickly it left trails of afterimages and produced a deafening sonic boom that even the audience could hear clearly.

The sudden burst of action once again gripped everyone's attention. All eyes widened, and the tension in the air was palpable as everyone leaned forward, curious to see how Ivan would deal with the nearly unavoidable attack!

Just as the dragon tail swept by like a whip, Ivan's body vanished from his spot and reappeared several meters away.

Apparition, while risky in combat, was almost guaranteed to succeed when you knew your opponent's move in advance!

"Rock Summoning!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ivan’s counterattack was equally swift. He waved his wand, and a two-meter-tall boulder flew over, slamming into the massive Norwegian Ridgeback and sending it stumbling.

"Truly a brilliant Apparition! And a Summoning Charm as well! Hals always manages to surprise us with his spell usage. He has successfully pinned down that dragon, and I believe the battle will soon be decided!"

Ludo Bagman, the commentator, was both excited and enthusiastic as he relayed Ivan's performance, ensuring that even the young wizards with poor views could understand what was happening in the arena.

"However, I must warn you, engaging in a fight with a dragon in a confined space filled with boulders is extremely unwise. I strongly advise against any wizards attempting to mimic this! I repeat, I strongly advise against any wizards attempting to mimic this!"

Ludo Bagman’s repeated shouts left his voice hoarse, and he was just about to take a sip of water to calm himself when the situation in the arena became perilous once again.

The Norwegian Ridgeback, which had been suppressed by spells, suddenly erupted. A scorching dragon breath burst from its open mouth, and due to the close proximity, it instantly engulfed Ivan.

"Oh no, our Champion has completely enraged the dragon! It's dragon breath, get out of the way!" Ludo Bagman shouted, but it was already too late when he spoke.

The young wizards in the audience watched in horror as Ivan was enveloped in the fire, and they screamed in response.

Fortunately, Ludo Bagman, with his keen eyes, quickly noticed a figure standing tall amidst the heat wave and immediately called out.

"Wait, that's great, Hals is unharmed!"

Hearing this, the young wizards in the audience also strained their eyes to see.

Just as Ludo Bagman had said, in the midst of the raging fire, Ivan remained standing tall and firm.

Ivan raised his wand high in his right hand and shot a beam of light forward, conjuring a solid shield in the air just two meters in front of him!

The scorching dragon breath was split in two, the two halves fiercely battling each other, gradually wearing each other down.

Ivan held on for a moment, feeling the emotion welling up, then swung his wand once more, beginning his final performance!

The large rocks that had been scattered around, summoned by the Summoning Charm, suddenly melted at an extraordinary speed and transformed into massive chains that wrapped around Norbert's body.

Roar~

The powerful Norwegian Ridgeback let out a painful cry and struggled fiercely, its dragon breath veering off to the side and igniting a small fire on the grass.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the chains tightened, and Norbert thrashed about in the pile of rocks, even trying to roll on the ground.

"What are you doing, Norbert?"

Ivan was exasperated. He knew Norbert was just having too much fun. The chains he had conjured looked strong but were just for show. Locking down a dragon wasn't that easy, and if Norbert broke free, it would be embarrassing.

So Ivan quickly called out, "Fly! Norbert, fly toward me!"

With the command, Norbert stopped acting up, spread its wings, and charged toward Ivan.

Ivan easily dodged and, seizing the moment, grabbed one of the chains. Using it for leverage, he flipped onto the dragon's back and was carried into the sky by Norbert.

"Good heavens! Unbelievable! Did you all see that? Our Champion is actually riding the dragon!" Ludo Bagman shouted hoarsely.

The crowd craned their necks to watch. The Norwegian Ridgeback, still bound by the massive chains, struggled fiercely as it circled the arena several times, its dragon breath turning the sky red.

Waves of heat swept across the field, and every time Norbert flew by, the young wizards on the ground screamed in terror, clutching their heads and sitting on the ground, fearing the flames might reach them.

The others stared intently at the young blond wizard on the dragon's back. No matter how Norbert performed acrobatics in the air, Ivan held onto the chain tightly, unaffected.

After three laps, the powerful Norwegian Ridgeback grew increasingly exhausted and was finally forced to fall from the sky.

Its broad wings spread to their maximum extent, and Norbert landed in a relatively dignified manner next to the Dragon Nest in the center of the arena.

The massive body was tightly bound by the five chains, rendering it immobile. The dragon claw that had been clutching the Golden Egg finally released it.

The golden orb slowly rolled across the relatively flat ground and came to rest inside the Dragon Nest.

Ivan leaped off the dragon's back and, amid the astonished and admiring gazes of the crowd, picked up the golden dragon egg and raised it high.

At that moment, thunderous applause erupted from the stands, and countless young wizards screamed with enthusiasm, expressing their emotions.

"Amazing, Hals, our hero!"

"You're the real Champion! I love you!"

"Dragon Knight Ivan!"
