Black Lotus Demon King Lance
Lance never expected to encounter a Three-Headed Demon Dragon of demon king level in the Land of Chaos and Disorder.
The dragons have been missing from the abyss for a long time. According to the information he had previously learned, long ago, the dragons were the Abyss Royalty. Later, something happened and the dragon clan suddenly disappeared from the abyss.
Gradually, the dragon race became a legend in the abyss. During his time studying in the abyss, he heard many rumors about the dragon race.
I've never actually seen a dragon, but there are occasional rumors that it has appeared in certain areas.
Good.
He might not have been able to defeat the demonic dragon he encountered during his time studying in the abyss.
The current situation is just right.
He had just reached a cooperation agreement with a demon king in the neighboring territory of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon that morning, and when he entered the Three-Headed Demon Dragon's territory in the afternoon, before he could even make a sound, he was targeted by the Three-Headed Demon Dragon.
Upon seeing him, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon didn't waste any words and immediately unleashed Dragon Breath attack. Each of the three dragon heads controlled a different type of energy.
Death, flames, poisonous fog.
The Dragon Breath, spewed from the central dragon head, can rob all living beings of their life force.
Wherever the Dragon Breath from the left dragon head passes, it can turn the entire area into a sea of fire.
The poisonous mist spewed by the right dragon head can form a poisonous mist barrier. Strong individuals with weak poison resistance may not be able to escape the poisonous mist barrier created by the Three-Headed Demon Dragon.
He was trapped in a poisonous fog created by the Three-Headed Demon Dragon, intentionally, as he wanted to test his poison resistance.
As it turned out, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon's poisonous fog barrier was ineffective against him.
Not long after he emerged from the poisonous fog, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon sensed him and immediately began to entangle him.
At this moment, Lance stood atop a thick, ancient tree, while Three-Headed Demon Dragon looked him up and down from a distance.
The dragon's scales and horns are gray, and its vertical pupils are scarlet.
In the abyss, most Demon Race have scarlet eyes, so blood-red eyes are also known as "Devil's Eye" in the human world.
Fortunately, as time went by, the major temples of the human world gradually stopped paying attention to humans with blood-red eyes and no longer regarded such people as potential "demons".
However, in many places, people subconsciously avoid those with blood-red eyes when dating or getting married.
"Three-Headed Demon Dragon, I have no intention of challenging your authority or entering your territory. I only want to cooperate with you and ask you to do me a small favor. I am not here to overthrow you. Therefore, you have no need to be so hostile towards me."
"Oh--"
The middle gray dragon of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon grinned, its vertical pupils revealing a mocking smile, "If you had truly appeared in the Land of Chaos and Disorder with good intentions, the Nine-Headed Serpent Demon next door wouldn't have been beaten up by you, and you almost chopped off one of its heads."
Dragonman, your appearance has disrupted the balance of this Land of Chaos and Disorder. If you hadn't appeared in my territory, I could have turned a blind eye to your existence.
But since you have appeared in my territory, there are only two possible fates for you: one, to be killed by me; two, to become my servant.
You have just proven with your strength that you are worthy to become my familiar. Dragonman, only by signing a familiar contract with me will you have a chance to leave this place alive.
Lance grinned. The more powerful a dragon clan is, the more it likes to subdue powerful alien races and make them its followers, just like most powerful people want to have a giant dragon as their seat.
He also admires powerful alien warriors, but unfortunately he can't afford to support those at that level. Even if he lets them support themselves, why would they become his dependents?
"I have no interest in becoming someone else's family member, and I generally do not like to have conflicts with other living beings unless necessary."
If we can resolve the issue through communication, I'd be happy to sit down and talk to you, rather than fight to the death.
"Dragon, I've entered your territory for only one purpose: I want to ask you for a favor. In return, I'll give you a gift to express my sincerity."
This time, the three dragon heads grinned in unison. How naive of the dragon people! Did they think this was one of those cities where "order" existed?
Even in cities where "order" exists, without status or power, one must consider whether they are qualified to ask the royal family for help.
In Land of Chaos and Disorder, the choice is even more direct: if you want help from a demon king-level Demon Race, you either have to conquer the demon king with your strength, be killed by the demon king, or become the demon king's subordinate.
There is no other choice.
"If you want to use my power, then conquer me with your strength, or take my throne as Demon King and annex and inherit all my power."
Verbal sparring and courteous manners are useless against the Demon King of this Land of Chaos and Disorder.
As the last word fell, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon simultaneously spewed Dragon Breath at Lance, and the three different energies of the Dragon Breath instantly engulfed Lance, who was standing on the treetop.
The thick ancient tree beneath Lance's feet turned to ashes.
The three streams of Dragon Breath lasted for several minutes.
He's not dead yet.
The dragonman withstood his Dragon Breath once again.
"You're right. It seems a bit foolish to act like a gentleman and treat people with respect in Land of Chaos and Disorder. I haven't been active in the Abyss for a long time, and I've forgotten about that. It may also be related to my self-cultivation."
You might not believe it, but a long, long time ago, I didn't have a very good temper either.
The black-gold aura magic circle rotating around Lance's body disappeared. He took a step and walked through the air. Wherever he passed, a jet-black lotus would appear under his feet.
A spinning black lotus flower also appeared on his right hand.
"In battle, I don't like to test the waters; I prefer to use my strongest power to knock my opponent out of the fight."
"This black lotus in my hand, Demon Dragon, can crush a mountain. Using it to suppress you shouldn't be a problem."
When the Three-Headed Demon Dragon saw the black lotus in Lance's hand, all three of its vertical pupils showed fear, and three different colors of energy instantly rose from its massive gray dragon body.
Lance tossed the black lotus in his hand toward the Three-Headed Demon Dragon.
The black lotus that flew toward the Three-Headed Demon Dragon grew larger and larger. When it reached the top of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon's head, the black lotus became larger than the Three-Headed Demon Dragon's body.
Silently, a pure black beam of light poured down from the black lotus.
The Three-Headed Demon Dragon did not choose to confront the attack head-on, but instead wanted to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
As it prepared to flap its wings and leave, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon discovered that its body was already enveloped by a pillar of pure black light. The flames, the power of death, and the poisonous mist that could corrode everything that were swirling around its body were instantly swallowed up.
How could this be?! Shouldn't it be the death power of her dragon body, the poisonous mist that can corrode everything, that devoured the pure black pillar of light?
Even if the pure black pillar of light could devour flames and poisonous mist, why could it also devour her death power? Boom—
The Three-Headed Demon Dragon's massive body crashed heavily to the ground, and an invisible, silent, and colorless terrifying force descended upon her body, suppressing her.
In that instant, it was as if the pure black pillar of light had materialized, transforming into an eternal pillar supporting the sky.
Damn it, I underestimated the strength of the dragon people.
She previously thought that the dragon people's strength should be at the Demon King level, and even if they were strong, they shouldn't be that much stronger.
However, this guy's strength surpassed that of the Demon King, and he easily suppressed her with a single black lotus.
She struggled, even trying to flip over and shatter the pure black pillar of light that enveloped her, but the more she struggled, the more terrifying the force that fell on her dragon body became.
What kind of power is this? Black Lotus, and so on!!!
Black lotus?
More than two thousand years ago, a Black Lotus Demon King appeared in this Land of Chaos and Disorder. Could this dragon-man be that Black Lotus Demon King from more than two thousand years ago? "My Black Lotus can suppress opponents, and it can also refine them."
Lance arrived before the Three-Headed Demon Dragon, waved his right hand towards the void, and the image of the young dragon appeared in the void.
"I am wandering in this Land of Chaos and Disorder in search of this young dragon. I have entered your territory in order to borrow your power and ask you to help me find this young dragon."
By the way, I'd like you to tell your followers not to harm this baby dragon when they encounter her, but to obediently bring her to you.
You can contact me when the time comes, and I'll come and take her away. It was such a simple thing, but it turned out to be a little complicated.
"So, Three-Headed Demon Dragon, can we have a proper conversation now? If you can, blink. If not, I'll temporarily take you into the Black Lotus and make you the Demon King, to command the Demon Race who follow you."
The Three-Headed Demon Dragon blinked frantically. Wouldn't it be better to just use this black lotus to defeat her sooner?
She was happy to help this demon Demon Race who was willing to treat her with respect. It was just a simple-minded young dragon, not a task for her to charge into battle. She was happy to help with this small favor.
Lance beckoned to the black lotus with his right hand. The black lotus, which had grown larger than the dragon's body, rapidly shrank, spun back into his palm, and then disappeared.
This black lotus was picked from a pond in the abyss years ago and has been refined for over two thousand years; it has finally begun to resemble a magical artifact.
"Are you the Black Lotus Demon King from over two thousand years ago?"
"???"
Black Lotus Demon King?
When did he ever become a demon king? Back then, he only roamed the Land of Chaos and Disorder in search of rare treasures that could be used to refine the Black Lotus.
Traveling through Land of Chaos and Disorder, battles were inevitable. Could it be that back then, some Demon Race arbitrarily gave him the title of "Black Lotus Demon King"?
"I have never been a demon king."
"You entered my territory because you wanted us to help you find this Amethyst Dragonling, right?"
"Um."
"We three sisters are willing to help you with this."
"Three sisters? Oh, I understand, that's for the best."
Three dragon heads, three consciousnesses, sharing one dragon body, just like Er Gouzi.
The Er Gouzi each have their own consciousness, and they will chat with each other when they are bored.
If one of the dog heads wants to slack off and doesn't want to be active anymore, another dog head will take over the dog body. "And while you're at it, keep an eye on this Succubus for me."
Lance made another sweeping motion with his right hand through the void, Succubus Chloe's true form appeared before the three -Three-Headed Demon Dragon Three-Headed Demon Dragon, who nodded in unison.
"The young dragon is above this Succubus. If they are in danger, you should prioritize saving the young dragon."
"Yes, we've got it."
Succubus Chloe, grew up in the abyss and has her own ways of escaping danger.
Dragon cub won't do; she's a little simpleton and easily led astray by demons.
We need to find this little guy as soon as possible.
"Black Lotus Demon King, are you really a dragonman?"
Can dragon people be this powerful?
As a pure-blooded demon dragon, she wields three different powers, so logically, her strength should be above that of the dragonman before her.
Moreover, as a pure-blooded demon dragon, she should suppress the dragonmen.
The dragon-man in front of her was not only not suppressed by her bloodline, but was even strong enough to suppress her in an instant.
Is this something a dragon person could do?
The dragonman is so powerful that he could easily choose to evolve into a demonic dragon form. She suspects that the dragonman in front of her may have already evolved into a pure-blooded demonic dragon.
"Don't I look like a dragon person?"
"No, what we mean is, have you already evolved into a pure-blooded demon dragon?"
"No."
"May I have your name?"
West Asia.
"Hey West Asia, you're probably still single, right?"
"Um."
"We are also single. For the future of the Dragon Clan, we are willing to try dating you for a while. After a period of time, if we both have feelings for each other, we can try to restore the glory of the Dragon Clan."
???
Lance instinctively moved away from the Three-Headed Demon Dragon. This Three-Headed Demon Dragon wanted him to marry her and have dragon cubs. He had only asked the Three-Headed Demon Dragon for a favor, Three-Headed Demon Dragon wanted him to repay her with his body. What kind of good thing was that?
"I refuse."
"Why?"
"Dating you would be like dating three self-aware dragons, which I can't accept. Besides, you are dragons, and I am a dragonman; we are not suitable for each other."
"Perfect, perfect, we can become dragon people too."
The Three-Headed Demon Dragon's body was shrouded in gray mist. When the gray mist disappeared, a tall Dragon Girl with cascading gray hair, a cold face, and wearing a gray-brown long dress appeared before Lance.
The Dragon Girl has horns on her head. To Lance's surprise, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon that transforms into a dragon-human form actually looks like the normal Dragon Girl, with only one head.
Where did the other two dragon heads go?
I wanted to ask, but I felt it wasn't appropriate.
"Your form."
"When I transform into my Dragon Girl form, I should be considered pretty, right? I think I'm good enough to date you now, aren't I?"
"The other two."
"In my mind, they take this form. We still share one body, but our faces and temperament may change."
But for males, this kind of mutation should be something they can accept, and even find quite stimulating—at least that's how I understand it.
"."
Lance didn't know how to respond. Other males might find it exciting, but his words just seemed a bit perverted.
Imagine this: you're sleeping soundly, and suddenly the person sharing your bed has a completely different face. They then prop their chin up with one hand and poke them awake with the other. Just thinking about it is terrifying. "So, Black Lotus Demon King, are you willing to fall in love with us for the sake of reviving the Dragon Clan?"
"I don't want to."
