The Power of Titles? The Kingdom's Crisis

The actions of the Slane Theocracy warrant further attention.

Tang Zheng pondered to himself, for there was another matter that concerned him.

The Platinum Dragon Lord of the "Council State"!

Information about the Evil Tree is unknown to ordinary people, but the Platinum Dragon Lord and the Slane Theocracy possess relevant information.

In the original future.

After detecting the resurrection of the Evil Tree, [The Black Scripture] immediately set off to subdue Evil Tree, but unexpectedly encountered Shalltear.

This led to Shalltear's betrayal and her battle with Bone Lord.

And among them.

The Platinum Dragon Lord's presence wasn't explicitly mentioned, but Platinum Dragon Lord was aware of the encounter between the [Black Scripture] and the "Vampire" Shalltear.

"The Platinum Dragon Lord might also take action!"

Tang Zheng's eyes flickered, and he came to this conclusion.

Attribute Panel.

Reveal the class information for [Primordial Chanter] from the attributes.

"What exactly is the professional skill 'Bloodline Activation - Golden Rule '?" Tang Zheng studied the skill's information again, but still found nothing.

I've had this job for a while now!

The skill descriptions for other professions are very clear, but the skills for the [Primordial Chanter] profession are rather confusing.

Is "bloodline activation" easy to understand?

What is the "Golden Rule," and is it related to the "Golden" prefix in the title of the Gold Dragon Lord?

Tang Zheng fell into deep thought.

As far as he knows!

The original prefix for "Elder Coffin Dragon Lord True Dragon Lord King" was not "Kurokan," but another name. It was only after he transformed into Undead that the prefix was changed.

According to the novel, it is a "discarded name" that has lost its meaning.

Do the titles "Platinum Rank" of the Platinum Dragon Lord and "Eternal Darkness" of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord represent some kind of actual power?

Tang Zheng raised his palm, grabbed at the air, and took out a gleaming gold coin from the Item Box, flipping and playing with it between his fingers.

"The True Dragon Lord has many more secrets."

--Mid -Mid-Fire Month.

August 10th.

After three days of in-depth investigation.

The elite adventurers of "Blue Roses" have arrived deep within the Great Forest of Tob.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Ahoo!"

A horde of nearly a hundred monsters, each with bloodshot eyes and devoid of fear and pain, went berserk and attacked from all directions in a Berserk manner.

"Defense Against Evil!"

"Magic Arrow!"

"Lesser Mental Defense!"

"Acid Arrow!"

"Fireball!"

"Lightning Ball!"

"Fortress!"

"Lower Tier -level Agility increased!"

"Ability Super-Enhancement!"

"...!"

The dense chanting of magic and the roars of Martial Arts echoed throughout the jungle.

Gagaran swung his massive arm, wielding the smashing hammer. "Die."

A muffled "bang"!

The leaping Dire Wolf was smashed to pieces by the black hammer shadow; there was no blood, only shattered roots turning to dust in the air.

"Everyone, make way!"

A sharp shout rang out.

Lakyus sprinted across the ground, leaping into the air as he swung his demonic sword forward, the blade rapidly expanding and growing larger in mid-air.

"Dark Blade Mega Impact!"

The skill names, brimming with childish chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), flashed across the demonic sword along with dark energy resembling the night sky.

Rumble!

The dense horde of monsters ahead was struck by the shockwave of this dark energy, followed by a massive explosion.

In an instant.

The trees and monsters ahead were instantly annihilated by the explosive dark energy, turning to ashes!

The pressure on everyone present instantly lessened.

However!

After these monsters are destroyed, they release large amounts of light yellow powdery pollen from their bodies, which continuously drifts into the air.

This created wisps of light yellow haze, which, as the air moved, were inhaled into the nostrils of the adventurers present or clung to their bodies.

A surge of irritating anger welled up inside me, making me want to destroy everything around me!

Even with items and potions that resist mental attacks, adventurers are still gradually affected by this continuous effect!

"Enri!" Lakyus landed from the air, his feet sinking into the decaying leaves on the ground. He turned his head, his long golden hair fluttering.

"Leave it to me."

Enri gripped the Sword of Law, one of the Four Holy Swords, tightly in both hands, pointing it towards the sky:

"Amplification Enhancement: Purifying Baptism!"

Buzz--

The snow-white blade of the Sword of Law was enveloped in a layer of white light, which then transformed into a soft, visible ray of light that shot into the sky.

In the blink of an eye!

Under the white light, the powder in the air was rapidly dissolved and Dispel. In just two breaths, the smog formed by the powder had completely disappeared!

The anger and excitement in the hearts of all the adventurers present quickly subsided as the white light enveloped them.

"Not bad, Enri!"

Tia appeared beside the corpse of a High-tier Tiger, the Bloodthread Dagger in her hand gleaming coldly, and she looked at Enri with a grin.

"It's good that everyone is alright." Enri put down her Sword of Law, looked around, and still spoke with concern:

"If you feel your mental state is still affected, feel free to come find me!"

"Purifying Baptism" is Sword of Law's ability, which has the effect of Dispel and increasing its own resistance, but it cannot form an area-of-effect effect.

but.

"Amplification Enhancement" is a class skill of [Hero - Believer], which allows Enri to enhance the skills she uses by either "area" or "intensity" effects!

Although it can only be used three times a day.

"As expected of Miss Enri!"

"Thanks, Miss Enri!"

"Miss Lakyus and Miss Enri are both amazing."

"...!"

Joyful cheers erupted from the group of adventurers.

Evileye raised her head and looked up at the sky, a hint of solemnity on her face behind the white mask.

Before entering the Great Forest of Tob.

She tried to contact the Dragon Lords King to ask if he knew anything about the "unknown plant monster" in the Great Forest of Tob, but she never received a response.

"Now is not the time to relax."

"This is already the third wave of monster attacks. Our movements have been completely monitored by the enemy. This is clearly a very cunning monster."

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Evileye Calmness offered a reminder:

"One is in the light, the other in the shadows; plant-type monsters are adept at hiding. If we can't find them quickly, we might be completely bogged down!"

Upon hearing this,

The joyful mood vanished, and everyone's expressions turned serious.

Evileye most worried about was not this, but whether this "unknown plant monster" was on par with the original Forest Lord.

Her power is more than enough to solve this!

But whether it's controlling monsters on a large scale or causing chaos throughout the entire Great Forest of Tob, this level of performance far surpasses that of the former Forest Lord.

Lakyus's emerald green eyes met Evileye's, as if they had simultaneously confirmed some kind of conclusion.

The monsters that attacked them were only of average strength!

--The Katze Plains Front.

Lainas and Gazef exuded a chilling aura, while the two elite legions behind them gripped their weapons tightly, their faces tense.

The smell of blood filled the air!

The ground around the area was littered with the corpses of hundreds of Imperial soldiers, their blood staining the area crimson.

This was clearly a resounding victory.

However!

Despite the victory, there wasn't a trace of a smile on the faces of Lainas and the others.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The sounds of galloping hooves and the clanging of armor from a large number of soldiers gathered all around.

All I saw was...

Groups of soldiers clad in blue undershirts and silver outer armor surged up from all around the plain.

They completely surrounded the elite forces of the Kingdom.

Miscalculation!

The same thought simultaneously crossed the minds of both Lainas and Gazef.

"The Empire actually used hundreds of elite soldiers as bait!" Gazef's expression tightened as he gripped the national treasure known as the Razor Edge, a hint of ugliness flashing in his eyes:

"Our scouts have already investigated... so why were our movements completely exposed?"

Lainas's eyelids were cold. She slowly exhaled, raised her chin, and looked up at the sky, a hint of helplessness flashing across her face.

It seems that this outcome was already anticipated!

"Royal Aerial Guard Corps!"

Lainas seemed to squeeze each word out of her throat, staring intently at the sky, even though she couldn't see anything.

"What?" Gazef exclaimed in astonishment.

"That's one of the Imperial Royal Guard, one of the few air forces in the entire Empire."

Lainas lowered her head again, knowing that it was pointless to try now, but she didn't stop explaining:

"Simply put, they are a unit that specializes in riding tamed hybrid monster Hippogriff, and every member of this unit wears valuable, 'invisible' items."

"Heh," Lainas sneered, "That Blood Emperor certainly has a grand scheme to make."

Gazef opened his mouth, then remained silent.

We've roughly figured out what happened: the flying scouts, capable of cloaking in the air, were defeated from the very beginning.

He could also faintly detect a hint of complaint in Lainas's tone.

After all, Kingdom are different from empires; they don't value magic, let alone have Magic Caster in their armies.

"It's a headache."

Gazef raised his rough hand and patted his head, letting out a troubled laugh, "Any suggestions?"

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and of everyone present, no one knew the Empire better Lainas.

"Go all out!" Lainas calmly suggested.

"Hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Gazef burst into hearty laughter. "That's exactly what I wanted!"

Laughter echoed in the air, reaching the ears of the soldiers behind him, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.

Rumble--

The imperial army pressed in from all directions.

After approaching a certain distance, everyone suddenly stopped. The army at the front parted, and four figures with an aura far exceeding that of ordinary people walked out from the rear of the army at a leisurely pace.

"Lainas, it's been a long time!"

Among the four, a handsome man with short blond hair, dressed in similar-looking black armor, greeted them with a smile.
