Lance Is Dead!

Golden Dragon Austin residing on Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain, received a message from Melbourne Bronze Dragon. His first thought was: someone has been killed by that viscount from Saint Blue.

Second impression: Did Viscount Lance die in battle?

Lance died in battle?

That sword could blast him and Eileen off the sky and kill the human viscount? Austin, lying under the Wisdom Fruit, grinned and sent a message to the Bronze Dragon Melbourne: "[The greatest threat to our dragon race is dead. Gather our kin on Dragon Island. In a few days, we will unify Holy Blue.]"

You made me laugh, Melbourne.

When the Golden Dragon Austin replied to the message, the Lightning Dragon Eileen, who was in the Holy Land of War, also received the message: [Eileen, Viscount Lance of Saint Lance has fallen in battle.]

???

When Eileen saw the message, she rolled her eyes and replied, "Boring."

Saint Blue, Dragon God Temple.

When the Bronze Dragon Melbourne saw the messages from Austin and Eileen, he subconsciously glanced at Lance was lying lifeless in the center of the Dragon God Temple.

It's no wonder Austin and Eileen didn't believe it; if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that a swordsman as powerful as Human Lance, could die.

At this moment, Ticia, the knights and guards of the Wyvern Knight Legion, and the humans in Saint Blue City all knelt on the ground and prayed to the Dragon God.

They prayed for the Dragon God to appear and save their Viscount.

Ticia, the human girl, was the most outrageous. The blood on her forehead soaked into the Dragon God Statue. If Lance were alive, he would definitely have stopped her.

But now, he doesn't have the courage.

Melbourne recorded the scene Dragon God Temple and sent it to the Golden Dragon Austin and the Lightning Dragon Eileen.

Lance, who had lost all signs of life, was also included in the recording, this time with the reason for Lance's death added.

[A dozen or so abyssal demons, whose strength rivals that of Sacred Giant Dragon, launched a Abyss Devil attack on Saint Blue. To protect Saint Blue City, his people, and us dragons, Lance sealed the Saint Blue City and fought the abyssal Abyss Devil alone in the skies above Saint Blue City, ultimately perishing. If you're not busy, hurry over and come see him; perhaps you can still catch a glimpse of Lance one last time.]

When this message was sent out, Golden Dragon Austin who was on Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain, saw it, his vertical pupils narrowed, and he rose from under the Wisdom Fruit.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! That guy was so strong, how could he have died so easily?"

Austin thought of the dozen or so Abyss Devil Melbourne had mentioned. Those Abyss Devil possessed strength comparable to the Sacred Giant Dragon. Lance was strong, but the Abyss Devil he faced were even stronger. "Hammond! Take your Book of Wisdom and come with me to Saint Lan! Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!"

The Golden Dragon Austin spread his wings and flew to the sky above the Wisdom Holy Mountain, calling out loudly to his knight Hammond.

Hammond heard Austin's shout and appeared not far from the Wisdom Fruit. "What's wrong? What's wrong? The Black Dragon has led the Abyss Devil to attack Saint Blue?"

"Saint Blue has been attacked by Abyss Devil. Viscount Lance of Saint Blue has been killed in battle. Come with me to Saint Blue immediately."

"???!!!"

Without hesitation, Hammond flew directly onto the back of the Golden Dragon Austin.

"Your Majesty, with the Dragon God Temple First Pope dead in battle, will the Goddess of Wisdom send a legion of paladins to quell the Abyss Devil?"

"If the news is true, the Paladin Legion can besiege the Abyss Devil still in Saint Blue. Fine, I'll let the Paladin Legion go to Saint Blue with you."

The Golden Dragon Austin, along with a legion of paladins and Hammond, headed to Saint Blue.

Meanwhile, on War God Holy Mountain, Eileen saw the image sent to her by the Bronze Dragon Melbourne. Lightning suddenly crackled across the massive dragon's body, a sight that startled the Saintess Sophia of War God Holy Mountain. "What's wrong, Eileen? Why are you suddenly angry?"

"Lance, the human viscount of Saint Blue, is dead. He was surrounded and killed by more than a dozen Abyss Devil."

"???"

Sophia's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is this possible? Wasn't Lance's combat prowess recognized by the Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine? He's so strong, how could he be killed by a dozen or so Abyss Devil?"

"Melbourne said that the dozen or so Abyss Devil that besieged him were all roughly at the level of Sacred Giant Dragon?"

"I will lead the Paladin Legion to accompany you on a journey to Saint Blue!"

That's outrageous! More than a dozen demons at the level of Sacred Giant Dragon appeared in the human world at the same time and even killed the first Pope of the Dragon God Temple.

How many years has it been since such a terrible incident occurred?

"Wait a moment, let me first inform Your Majesty of this matter. The death of the Dragon God Temple First Pope is a major event for all the major temples in the human world."

Sophia informed the Pope of the War God Holy Mountain about this, and then led a legion of paladins to Saint Blue with Eileen.

What would normally be a journey of several days was completed in just a few hours thanks to Eileen's full-speed flight, bringing her to Saint Blue.

The Golden Dragon Austin arrived at Saint Blue before her.

Upon arriving at Saint Blue, Austin, Eileen, Hammond, Sophia appeared directly at the Dragon God Temple. The paladin legions of the two temples were divided into two groups: one group was responsible for guard duty, while the other group went to investigate the place where Lance fought against the Abyss Devil.

Eileen, Austin, Hammond, Sophia had just entered the Dragon God Temple when they saw Lance lying in an ice coffin, covered in blood.

Ticia and the Holy Blue Knight knelt before the ice coffin, their bodies radiating boundless hatred and resentment.

Not only them, but even the soldiers and ordinary people kneeling outside the Dragon God Temple were all radiating hatred and resentment.

Even the Dragon God Temple, filled with a sacred aura, could not suppress the hatred and resentment emanating from them.

Saintess Sophia of the War God Temple arrived before the ice coffin, formed hand seals, and emanated a holy light. A green light, brimming with vitality, shot out from between her brows and entered Lance's body inside the ice coffin. A continuous stream of vitality flowed into Lance's body and then dissipated.

Upon seeing this, Sophia's expression changed. The life magic that could nurture the life force within a person was unable to be integrated into Lance's body? As long as she could awaken even a wisp of life force within Lance, she was confident she could revive Lance. However, now that Lance's body could not absorb life energy, even if she possessed numerous healing spells, she would be unable to revive Lance.

In fact, the moment she stood in front of the ice coffin, she sensed that Lance had lost all life.

If the Life Source Energy spell doesn't work, then we can only try the Spring of Life! Sophia gritted her teeth; she had a small bottle of the Spring of Life on her, and she didn't know if it could revive Lance.

"Your name is Ticia, right? I have a small bottle of the Spring of Life on me, from the Elven race. I'll try using this Spring of Life to see if I can revive your Viscount."

Sophia now held a porcelain bottle that emitted a soft glow.

The moment the porcelain bottle appeared, a refreshing aura filled the Dragon God Temple. Ticia, who was kneeling on the ground, saw this and her face lit up with joy. She had heard of the Spring of Life of the Elven race; it was a legendary divine object.

There's hope! The Viscount is saved! "Your Sophia Your Highness, whether or not you can save the Viscount, you are still Saint Blue's benefactor."

"No need for that. Your Viscount's actions are worth it. Although I used to think he was stingy, petty, and idle, I admire him for dying to protect Saint Blue. Not everyone is willing to fight to the death to protect their people.

With a 'pop', Eileen pulled off the cap of the porcelain bottle. She used her life energy to mobilize the Spring of Life Spring of Life inside the bottle, causing it to transform into a stream of water that slowly flowed into Lance's mouth. Since Lance had lost all life force, Sophia could only rely on the power of her life energy to allow the Spring of Life to enter Lance's body.

A soft light gradually emanated from Lance's body, and his wounds began to heal.

The toxins in Lance's body had already been completely purified by Sophia. This time, the Spring of Life entered his body, directly causing all the wounds on Lance's body surface to disappear.

Upon seeing this, Ticia's tear-streaked face lit up with excitement—the Viscount was coming back to life! Soon, the entire Spring of Life within the porcelain bottle flowed into Lance's body.

Sophia frowned. The Spring of Life had repaired Lance's body and restored some vitality to it. However Lance, this vitality quickly dissipated.

She tried to stabilize Lance's life force using her life energy, but it was no use. Once the life energy was depleted, the life force within Lance would dissipate and he would die. He couldn't be saved unless a god intervened. "I'm sorry, I tried my best."

Sophia sighed; she could not bring Lance back to life.

"Your Sophia Your Highness, my Viscount's face has regained some color. Do you think this is a sign that he is about to recover?"

"This is the effect of the Fountain of Spring of Life."

The light in Ticia's eyes disappeared.

The knights of the Wyvern Knight Legion, and the people of Holy Blue outside the Dragon God Temple, were once again shrouded in sorrow.

The Nightmare Dragon Colon took out Monster Revealing Mirror and pointed it at Lance inside the ice coffin. The mirror, emitting a soft light, did not reflect Lance's soul.

His soul is gone.

"Thanks."

Ticia placed her right hand on her chest and bowed to Sophia. "Your Sophia Your Highness, I have another matter I would like to ask for your help with."

"Please speak."

"Could you please help Saint Blue preserve the Viscount's body? Could you prevent my Viscount's body from decaying?"

"The Spring of Life can already ensure his body doesn't decay, but it would be even better if he were buried in an ice coffin. This ice coffin is quite good; I'll upgrade it later."

"Miss Ticia, don't be too sad. Someone like your Viscount has probably already been taken to the Land of the Gods."

Eileen, now in her Dragon Girl form, approached the ice coffin and looked at Lance lying inside. Images of her time with Lance flashed through her mind.

Although this human is sometimes annoyingly arrogant and domineering, he is indeed a friend worth making.

He passed on his prized "Sword Scripture" to her, even though Lance lay in an ice coffin, she still refused to believe that such a person was dead. The Golden Dragon Austin sighed, and a golden dragon scale appeared in his hand. He placed the dragon scale in the ice coffin, "Although I still hate you sometimes, in my heart, you have long been my friend, the Golden Dragon Austin."

Go to the Land of the Gods with peace of mind, Saint Lan. I will take care of things for you for a while.

Hammond also came to the ice coffin and took some brightly colored flowers with a faint fragrance from the Book of Wisdom, placing them inside the ice coffin.

The Eternal Flower.

"The Goddess of Wisdom would probably like a priest like you."

"Ticia, where do you plan to bury Lance?" Sophia asked Ticia.

"I want to bury the Viscount in the middle of that lake not far from the Dragon God Temple, so that the Viscount can see the changes in Saint Blue at any time."

That lake has since become Sacred Ground for our Saint Blue. No one may enter it without Saint Blue's permission.

Sophia nodded. The location of that lake was indeed excellent; burying Lance there would be a good choice.

"I'll assist you," Sophia added.

This time, Ticia knelt directly in front of Sophia and kowtowed to Sophia, saying, "Saint Blue will never forget Your Highness's kindness today."

"Get up, get up, you don't need to do this."

Sophia helped Ticia up.

After rising, Ticia looked at the Wyvern Knight Legion kneeling in the temple and announced to the entire Holy Blue that the Viscount had died in battle and his soul had returned to the Land of the Gods.

At the same time, news of the Viscount's bloody battle against the Abyss Devil would be spread to every corner of Saint Blue. Furthermore, footage of the Viscount's death would be sent to the Red Maple Kingdom, so that the people of the Red Maple Kingdom could see for themselves whether their Viscount was truly Abyss Devil!

"Yes, sir!"

Red Maple Kingdom!!!

"I will make you all pay with your lives for my Viscount!!!" "Further decree: Saint Blue is officially renamed the Saint Blue Kingdom! His Lance is the founding king of Saint Blue!"

"Yes!"

The next day, everyone in the entire Saint Blue Territory knew that their viscount had died in battle protecting Saint Blue.

In an instant, everyone in Saint Blue Territory tore down the red couplets pasted on their doors and hung white lanterns at their entrances.

In Saint Blue City, the situation was even worse; overnight, every household hung white lanterns, and all festive items were put away.

Many people even cried until they fainted.

News of Viscount Saint Blue's death quickly reached the Red Maple Kingdom Red Maple Kingdom, and then spread from there to several surrounding kingdoms.

Before long, the news reached the kingdom where the Bronze Bounty Guild was located, and soon it reached the ears of the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!! How could someone as cunning and treacherous as Old Man Lance have died in battle?!"

"It's definitely a fake death. Don't forget that Old Man Lance used this trick a long, long time ago. He fooled Andre like this back then, don't you remember?"

"It's different. Last time it was suicide, but this time it was more than a dozen powerful Abyss Devil who besieged Old Man Lance and threatened him with the people of Saint Blue City. That's why he died in battle."

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!!! I'll contact the old man right now!!!"

"Unable to contact them, can't get through."

"Send a message to Andre."

"Sent, but Andre hasn't replied yet."

"Regardless of whether Old Man Lance faked his death or not, let's go to Saint Lance first."

"Good."

On this day, all the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild who knew Lance got up and went to Saint Blue.

On the night the Bronze Bounty Guild members left the kingdom, Andre, who was in Hell, saw a message from Meredith, a member of the Bronze Bounty Guild who Rabbit-Ear Girl.

"King Andre, is it true that Old Man Lance has been killed by the Abyss Devil? Reply immediately upon seeing this message!"

"???"

What? The teacher is dead again? After a moment of stunned silence, Andre used the Death God Scythe to contact Death God Solomon of Hell.
