Chapter 370

"Um."

At the same time, the opposing Ironwing Dragon King, Fael, also stepped forward, saying, "I'll lend you a hand, senior."

However, Constantine raised his hand to stop him, saying, "This is a matter between me and Casmod, and no one else is allowed to interfere."

Upon hearing this, Fael's thoughts stirred slightly.

He knew Constantine's temper; he was a man of his word, or he would turn on them.

Okay, then it can only be a 1v1 real man battle.

"Senior."

"What?"

Will we win?

"We will win."

The two moved forward again, ready to begin the second round of their duel.

Just as both sides were about to make their move, the entire ruins suddenly trembled.

Everyone bent down slightly, lowering their center of gravity to maintain their balance.

After a short while, the stone giant that Constantine had just smashed into pieces began to slowly regenerate.

Not only that, but heavy footsteps could also be heard outside the gate of the ruins.

Following the sound, dozens of stone giants crowded at the entrance of the ruins, their white crystals on their foreheads glittering, their enormous bodies seemingly capable of flattening everything in front of them.

Before Leon and Constantine could react, the first stone giant charged at them.

Leon knew that his Lightning magic had little effect on this kind of stone, so he chose to dodge immediately.

Constantine then unleashed Primal Magic to shatter it once more.

This time, however, the stone giant repaired itself at a speed visible to the naked eye and then continued its attack on Constantine.

"Did the theft of Noah's power cause these stone guards to go berserk...?"

Faced with an opponent capable of constantly repairing itself, Constantine dared not continue fighting and retreated to the side.

Meanwhile, the giants behind them were slowly approaching.

Fael ran forward, spread his dragon wings, and faced the dark mass of giants in front of him, hurriedly asking, "Senior, what do we do now?"

Constantine briefly observed the ancient ruins. They had just flown down from the surface through the ice layer and were not familiar with the internal structure of the ruins, nor did they know that there were stone giants guarding them.

If Constantine goes all out in the face of the giants' rampage, he can probably resolve the situation.

He was just unsure whether Leon would take the opportunity to kill him.

Although Leon would disdain doing such a thing, it was a life-or-death battle after all, and he could not gamble his own life on the other party's character.

After analyzing the situation, Leon reached the same conclusion as Constantine.

The human and the dragon stared at each other across the stone giant, seemingly able to read each other's thoughts through their eyes.

Leon withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Losweiser.

By this time, she had dealt with the group of Crimson Flame Dragon guard and protected the children under the dragon's wings.

"Hey, kid," Constantine called out.

Leon turned to look at him.

"We're not done yet."

After saying that, Fael behind Constantine instantly transformed into Dragon form. He spread his iron-blue dragon wings and carried Constantine toward the gap above the ruins, which was burned through when Constantine and the others came down.

Leon and Losweiser looked up at the receding figure. They had the ability to give chase, but the most important thing right now was to leave the ruins and protect the children.

Leon gazed at Constantine soaring into the sky and whispered,

"You're right, Constantine, we're not done yet."

The giant stone statues surrounded them, and Losweiser quickly transformed into Dragon form, carrying Leon and the children as they flew up through the gap burned through Constantine.

After breaking out of the ruins and reaching the surface, the Far North instantly enveloped them.

Rosevie activated a protective shield on her back, shielding everyone inside and protecting them from the cold wind.

Leon held Noa in his arms, and his eldest daughter slowly woke up.

"Daddy... did you defeat Constantine...?"

Leon gave a wry smile and shook his head. "Something unexpected happened, so I've called a truce with that guy."

He paused, then added, "It's only temporary."

"Hmm... I'm glad you're not hurt, Daddy."

She really made me cry. I was so dizzy from the magical energy, but when I woke up, the first thing I did was to check on her Dad.

Leon gently rubbed Noa's cheek with satisfaction. "I heard from your senior that you protected everyone again this time."

Noa gave a tired smile. "I think if it were Daddy, you would also protect your friends without hesitation."

Everything she did was so that she could become like her father.

She didn't care if anyone thought she was a brat or the worst person in the group; she just wanted to follow in her father's footsteps and do what she could.

That's all.

Helena dragged her tired body over and sat down next to Noa.

"Thank you, Noa-chan."

You're welcome, Helena.

Several other senior students also came over to express their gratitude.

Even Anton hesitated for a moment before joining in.

"Th-thank you, Noa. And!... I apologize for what I said to you before. You didn't hold us back; you're a really great guy."

"I'm not angry with you, senior. You don't need to apologize."

"Noa, just accept it. Hearing Anton apologize is more unusual than the sun exploding. If you don't accept it, he probably won't be able to sleep well," Yuna said with a grin.

Noa smiled helplessly, "Okay, I accept your apology, senior."

"Um..."

Anton scratched his head and silently stepped aside.

"But we still let Constantine take away the power of the Primal Dragon King."

Helena sighed and said, "I wonder what he'll do with this power later."

Upon hearing this, Leon blinked and asked, "Did Constantine take away all the Primal Power?"

Based on his previous understanding of the Primal Power, Leon believed that it could be "divided".

The Empire initially used a portion of the Primal Power it had seized to form the Vanguard Special Operations Team and to implement Constantine's Fusion Art.

Therefore, it is possible that Constantine did not take all of the Primal Power when he was at the ruins.

Helena shook her head. "I'm not sure... but he did absorb a lot of power back then."

"Okay, I understand. Tell your Mom when you get back."

"Okay, Uncle Leon."

Leon stopped talking about the serious topic and instead started discussing the children's practical assessment.

Once they started talking, everyone was very talkative, and the children all had a pretty good impression of Noa, their father.

Besides his heroic aura of appearing out of nowhere and saving the day, this uncle is also a great conversationalist, rarely keeping the conversation dull, and always talking about things that interest everyone.

As Noa listened to her father chatting with her classmates, drowsiness gradually crept over her, and a sense of exhaustion swept over her entire body.

She nestled in Leon's arms, feeling the warmth of her father's embrace, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

She didn't know how much time had passed, or whether she was dreaming, but Noa seemed to see a white... giant dragon.

It lay prostrate before Noa, its vertical dragon eyes radiating an aura of Augu.

The journey to the Far North has come to an end.

Good news, Leon's guess was right, Constantine is indeed eyeing the Primal Power;

The bad news is that, in the end, the Primal Power still fell into the hands of Old Kang.

However, judging from the intensity of his brief encounter with Constantine in the Noah Ruins, he probably hasn't yet obtained the complete Primal Power.

With Leon's current strength, he can still fight Constantine when he's at full mana.

It's just unknown when this battle will finally take place.

It is also uncertain what unexpected things might happen during this period.

In short, before that happens, Leon and Losweiser, and their master must make sure they have all the necessary preparations.

Meanwhile, this trip to the far north has also helped my eldest daughter grow a lot.

Daring and determined, calm and collected, she's becoming more and more like Leon.

General Leon expressed his satisfaction with this.

Because his beloved daughter's talent path was clearly geared towards becoming a warrior like him, completely different from the speed-type mage Dragon Queen.

Using this as an excuse, Leon had been showing off to Losweiser for days.

A week after returning from the Far North, Losweiser went about her work as usual.

Constantine has gained Primal Power and could cause trouble at any time, so we must be constantly vigilant. The entire tribe has been mobilized, and many more people have been sent to the border.

The entire scout team, led by Shirley, was also dispatched to gather intelligence, striving to be one step ahead and take the initiative in the game.

Therefore, Losweiser had significantly more work than usual.

I've been under a lot of pressure lately.

Of course, part of the pressure came from her silly captive who ate, drank, and lived for free in the Silver Dragon Sanctuary and occasionally deliberately annoyed her.

Good morning, Your Majesty the Queen.

A familiar voice came from beside the throne.

"Spit it out if you have something to say."

Losweiser didn't even look up.

"Noa's summer vacation is about to begin. This is the training plan I have prepared for her. Please take a look."

Leon handed over a list with both hands, feigning politeness.

Losweiser glanced at it, and, somewhat curious, reached out and took it.

Upon opening it, the Queen's face darkened.

"I get up at eight o'clock and have an hour to wash up and eat."

"Start warming up at the training ground at nine o'clock, and then review Lightning magic at nine-thirty."

"At 11:00, we will begin teaching the basic theory of combat."

"11:30, lunch. One-hour nap."

"Close combat training at 1 p. m."

"Three points, learn a new Lightning magic."

"At five o'clock, run three laps around the practice field."

Losweiser put down the list and looked up at Leon. "Can you tell me why it's all Lightning magic and close combat training? Noa needs to learn some ranged magic now. All your Lightning magic is just for reckless melee combat."

"Why learn ranged magic?" Leon shrugged. "It's useless."

"Hey, why is it no longer working?"

As a classic turret mage, Losweiser was displeased upon hearing this.

"The enemies these days are very cunning. By the time your spellcasting animation is over, they've already run out of your attack range," Leon explained earnestly.
