On the training ground of the manor.

Lainas's figure swirled around Zesshi Zetsumei, launching attack after attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The weapons struck Zesshi's body, producing a continuous series of muffled thuds.

Tang Zheng was watching the training ground.

Seeing that Zesshi Zetsumei hadn't been hurt yet, but his eyes were starting to twitch, he smiled slightly.

Higher-level opponents receive damage reduction when facing attacks from lower-level enemies, but the pain will not disappear.

"Not bad willpower, Lainas." Tang Zheng was actually quite satisfied with Lainas's performance.

Faced with an insurmountable gap in strength.

Lainas still had the courage to wield her weapon, a willpower that reminded Tang Zheng of Brain facing Cocytus.

This is the behavior.

Tang Zheng was surprised, but not unexpected.

Unlike Brain, Lainas suffered unimaginable torment due to her family's betrayal and the curse of disfigurement.

It was precisely this experience that...

This gave Lainas a will no less powerful than Brain's, which led to his "self-purification" after his period of despair.

"Lainas, don't spread your attacks."

Seeing that the result he wanted had not appeared, Tang Zheng spoke up to remind him:

"Aim at a specific location and focus your attack."

He desperately wanted to go on stage and personally inflict the curse damage on Zesshi Zetsumei... but he had to suppress this thought.

Acquiring the [Cursed Knight] class.

Tang Zheng had no normal way to acquire the profession, so he could only imitate the process that Lainas went through to obtain it.

That's right!

It means to subject Zesshi Zetsumei to the harm of a "curse".

Using the power and influence of the "curse," attempt to activate the [Cursed Knight] through Zesshi Zetsumei.

"The effects of the Curse Power do not necessarily grant you a profession."

"Lainas's acquisition of the [Cursed Knight] was partly due to luck,"

Tang Zheng pondering his plan. "However, Zesshi Zetsumei is different; she already possesses the degraded version of [Valkyrie]."

"Under such a profession, there is a relatively high probability of activating the [Cursed Knight] profession."

For this class, the Zesshi Zetsumei must be activated. Without the prerequisite class, the [Valkyrie] class will always remain a "degraded" class.

Tang Zheng's Special Class all have prerequisite professions.

For example:

[Valkyrie]'s [Cursed Knight]

The Mad Wizard from [Magic Overlord]

[World Connector] and [Primordial Chanter] are prerequisites for [Dragonic Overlord].

Otherwise!

His Special Class will also become "degraded".

"--Hahaha!"

Zesshi Zetsumei suddenly let out a suppressed laugh, his lips twitching as he instinctively raised his hand to grab at Lainas, who had rushed towards him before she could react.

"You, a guy like you, actually managed to hurt me? Be proud!"

"Fifth-Tier Magic: Sand Field!"

Whoosh!

A blue magic circle appeared out of Zesshi Zetsumei's feet, followed by a massive surge of quicksand that enveloped Zesshi Zetsumei, binding her in place.

Bang!

Lainas finally realized what was happening, pushed off the ground forcefully, and quickly retreated, widening the distance between them.

Move forward.

Tang Zheng looked at the panting Lainas, and after seeing that she was unharmed, nodded to her before releasing the binding spell "Sand Field."

That's all for today.

"Huh?!" Zesshi Zetsumei -excited emotions were suddenly doused with cold water, and she thought it was her own actions that caused the problem:

"Just now I could..."

"I understand." Tang Zheng seemed to understand and did not blame him.

Zesshi Zetsumei his personality, the fact that Zetsuki could remain silent and not retaliate, allowing Lainas to beat him for so long, was already beyond his expectations.

"I'm sure you're all wondering about this too."

Tang Zheng knew that Zesshi Zetsumei nor Lainas probably knew why they were doing this.

"Let's take a look at the wound first."

All I saw was...

On Zesshi Zetsumei's chest, there was a shallow wound about the size of a fingertip, from which blood was oozing.

Upon closer inspection, one can notice subtle black curse energy on the outer layer of this shallow wound.

"What kind of wound is this?"

Zesshi Zetsumei glanced at it, then casually raised his palm and aimed it at the wound:

"Minor Healing."

A divine magical light was released, covering the wound.

She holds the Priest, a profession she initially chose to master in order to use Healing Magic when injured in battle.

The light faded!

"Huh??" Zesshi Zetsumei's eyes widened slightly, revealing surprise.

It's just a tiny wound, no bigger than a thumb. Normally, it would heal on its own even without Healing Magic.

Now, casting Healing Magic has not cured anything.

This is clearly not normal!

"This is the [Cursed Knight]."

Tang Zheng began by explaining, "It's a class that can manipulate the Curse Power to attack."

"The Dark Knight, once one of the Thirteen Heroes, possessed this class; his powerful curses could not be healed by low-level Healing Magic."

Zesshi Zetsumei wasn't stupid; by this point, he was gradually coming to his senses.

"You want me to get this job?"

Zesshi Zetsumei asked in confusion, then glanced at Lainas with a hint of surprise.

"That's right."

Tang Zheng nodded. "To obtain this profession, you must first come into contact with the curse and trigger it through the Curse Power. This profession is crucial to you."

"Is this something you need to ask Lainas about?"

This process.

This will also benefit Lainas, allowing her to master the power of the Cursed Knight more skillfully and even level up.

actually

Tang Zheng could also use this profession to inflict significant curse damage on Zesshi Zetsumei, however, he did not intend to reveal his Warrior profession abilities.

The so-called "trump card" is a power that outsiders do not know.

Over the next few days.

Tang Zheng and his two companions remained at Lainas's manor.

It seems that due to its high level and strong resistance in various aspects, the effect of the Curse Power is limited for Zesshi Zetsumei.

Lainas could only painstakingly inflict several more wounds on Zesshi Zetsumei's body once again.

--Lower Earth Month, December 20th.

Ye Lantier.

As the year draws to a close, the air grows even colder, but the streets become bustling with activity, filled with commoners, adventurers, and nobles living in the city.

Everyone has begun preparing supplies for the new year's "Prayer Day".

noon.

The sky darkened.

A fast-moving dark cloud blocked out the Sun Anglerfish, momentarily silencing the bustling atmosphere in the Central Square of "Ye Lantier".

The shadow blocking the sunlight is gradually getting bigger.

In the square, someone looked up, squinting at the sky, and began to cover the goods.

There was a heavy snowfall a while ago, and there's a possibility of snow again soon.

The clouds in the sky began to grow larger.

Some have noticed that the dark clouds are not moving as slowly as normal clouds, but rather at a speed that defies common sense.

Buzz--Boom--

At first, there were some buzzing sounds like mosquitoes, but then the sound grew louder and louder, like the sound of a gale or thunder.

The air seemed to thicken subtly at that moment!

Among the countless figures in the square, a strange sense of unease rose within them, a palpitation that seemed to originate from the depths of their hearts.

It's beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

The adventurers, on the other hand, knew exactly what this feeling was. It was the body's natural reaction when encountering a powerful monster.

The height of the clouds decreased.

An outline appears—that's not a cloud!

With a length approaching fifty meters, and two pairs of wings spread out, it appears even larger, casting a huge shadow that covers the entire square as it blocks out the Sun Anglerfish.

Its entire body was covered in blue scales, with spiral horns on its head, and its wings flapped gently, giving it an elegant and majestic appearance!

silence.

A deathly silence.

With a loud "bang".

An adventurer's eyes widened, his hand loosened from wiping his weapon, and the short sword fell to the stone floor with a crisp clang.

The sound triggered a chain reaction, instantly throwing the square into chaos, filled with panicked and suppressed screams.

Dragon!

A real dragon.

The Dragon Lords exists only in legends, even in the stories of Bard!

This is a mobile calamity capable of easily destroying the Fortress city of "Ye Rantil"!

No one knows why the other party appeared.

Princess Renner's mission to the Council State, while not exactly a secret, was not something ordinary people could know.

Most people either fled in panic or knelt on the ground in prayer!

Blue Sky Dragon Lord.

Svilia Melonsilk, one of the five lifetime councilors of the Council State.

"A weak and inferior race."

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord's cold, amber-colored vertical pupils swept across the chaotic human city below, offering their assessment.

Dragon wings spread wide!

The shadows slowly drifted across the sky above Ye Lantier, and the cold winter sun shone down on the earth once more.

The dragon's silhouette gradually faded into a black dot and disappeared into the horizon.

However.

The panic didn't stop; instead, it spread even faster!

"That direction is... the Royal Capital!" The scream echoed through the street.

Above the Kingdom.

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord slowly flapped its wings, the cold wind caressing its smooth azure scales, and flew lazily with its eyes half-closed.

The flight speed is not fast.

At least for it, that's enough.

"Platinum Dragon Lord, why do you care about these weak and inferior races?"

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord was puzzled and could only exclaim, "Platinum Dragon Lord's wisdom is as profound as the starry sky."

Such wisdom is beyond his comprehension!

Compared to his respect and admiration for the Platinum Dragon Lord, the Blue Sky Dragon Lord felt slightly dissatisfied with the other three permanent councilor dragon Dragon Lords.

This time, I came to the Kingdom.

It was Platinum Dragon Lord's order, and naturally they could not disobey it. As for who should go, that was for the four Dragon Lords to decide themselves.

The Obsidian Dragon Lord was the strongest, and the other three Dragon Lords were powerless to stop him when he refused with a firm stance.

The Diamond Dragon Lord paid with a batch of precious and beautiful ores as compensation.

That guy always manages to find incredibly valuable mineral veins, leaving only the Blue Sky Dragon Lord and the Wyrm Dragon Lord, and the result...

I also hate winter.

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord thought to himself, "Actually, winter doesn't affect it at all."

The Wyrm Dragon Lord fears the cold and spends most of its winters sleeping underground, which reminds it of the Ancient Red Dragon also hates winter.

There are also unique individuals like the Frost Dragon who live in the Azerlisia Mountains and have established their own families.

To these two fellow Dragon Race.

It was slightly curious, having never made contact with it before.

Neither the Ancient Red Dragon nor the Frost Dragon can be called the "Dragon Lords" Central City the Dragon Race, and their status is naturally lower than that of the dragon.

This time, I left the Council State.

On the way to the Azerlisia Mountains, we did encounter the Frost Dragon Family, but we didn't find the Ancient Red Dragon.

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord drifted slightly as he realized that he wasn't particularly concerned about this trip to the Kingdom.

It's because we went on a long trip.

Only then did the Blue Sky Dragon Lord pass over Ye Lantier.

The flight path was not hidden.

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord even deliberately lowered its altitude so that ordinary people could capture its majestic figure.

This is a reward!

Under his invisible arrogance, the towns and villages wherever the Blue Sky Dragon Lord passed by descended into chaos.

Royal Capital

Rie Yesteger.

The moment the Blue Sky Dragon Lord appeared in this ancient Royal Capital, the entire Royal City instantly erupted in commotion.

The guards on the Royal City walls screamed in utter terror!

"Dragon?"

"Dragon!"

"Run!"

"...!"

The entire Royal Capital seemed to have been plunged into the apocalypse in an instant.

Faced with the legendary Dragon Race, not to mention ordinary people, even elite soldiers and adventurous Ninja could not muster any resistance.

Any Royal Capital an insurmountable calamity, possessing the power to destroy a nation.

[Eight Fingers]

Security Department.

Arche raised his head in disbelief, looking at the enormous shadow sweeping across the sky, his mouth agape, his voice trembling:

"Dragon... Am I seeing things?"

"Just kidding, something big is about to happen!" Brain pressed his left hand on the hilt of the sword, gripping it tightly.

Your Guest House.

[Blue Roses] Temporary Base.

Gagaran, Tina, Tia, and Evileye stood silently in front of the huge glass window, gazing at the sky.

"... Where's the Demon Leader?" Tina asked in a hoarse voice.

Tia: "In the Royal City, perhaps."

A brief silence fell over the air.

Anyone could see that the Dragon Lords in the sky was heading towards the Royal City, or rather, it had no intention of hiding its identity at all.

Royal Capital Manor

"A mere Dragon Lords!"

Zesshi Zetsumei's heterochromatic eyes stared coldly at the sky, revealing sharp canines, appearing somewhat neurotic and annoyed.

"That's really arrogant. Should I kill it?"

Tang Zheng did not respond, but calmly glanced at the sky above.

He knew that Zesshi Zetsumei was somewhat emotionally unstable at the moment, and the reason for his anger was not because of the Dragon Lords had suddenly appeared.

During this period, the [Cursed Knight] class made no progress.

"Should we take the second approach?"

Tang Zheng frowned slightly and turned his head to look at Lainas beside him:

"Lainas, go back to Princess Renner's side first. This Dragon Lords should be heading towards the Royal City. I need to know its purpose in appearing in the Kingdom."

Has the Platinum Dragon Lord finally made a move?

Princess Renner has only recently returned from the Council State; is she impatient, or is she plotting something deeper?
