The Fall of the Ancient Twin Dragons
Greywater Plain south.
A river valley with a depression in its terrain.
This was accompanied by a massive earthquake that affected the entire south.
A bottomless crack, like the gaping maw of an abyss, rapidly spread outwards.
In the crack.
The firelight was faintly visible.
About two minutes later.
Suddenly, a column of magma erupted! The lava flowed with tremendous force, forming a lava lake at the bottom of the valley in the blink of an eye.
The lava lake continues to expand outwards.
Not long after.
A colossal dragon of terrifying size soared into the sky from the lava lake! Whoosh! The dragon spread its wings, but merely flapped them—
The lava on the wings then fell off like sparks.
A sudden gust of wind arose below.
The dragon soars straight into the clouds!
This dragon has dark red scales, its wingspan is about 200 meters, and its tail is thick and powerful. Most of its tail scales have been burned away, leaving only a charred black scale that looks rather out of place.
He is Hongye.
Or rather...
He is the real Hongye!
"Despicable Quinan and the Sea Serpent..."
"Adulterer**!"
The red leaves gritted their teeth and flew into the sky, looking down over the entire southern land.
That moment.
People all around the plain could see those two enormous dragons that blotted out the sky!
One south and one north.
One red and one green.
Under that innate terrifying power.
The vast majority of creatures could not suppress the trembling in their hearts, pressed their knees to the ground, and lowered their heads in fear and unease!
Only those professionals who are close to being promoted.
Only then will there be a chance to be exempt from the dragon's will check of the Ancient Twin Dragons! Looking at the creatures crawling on the ground.
Hongye's anger grew even stronger.
He saw "Kuinan"! The other person was looking at him with a cold expression, and Hongye could see a trace of... greed in his eyes! Humans are indeed greedy creatures.
But it can still maintain its greed when facing the Ancient Dragon.
Nature is not an ordinary human being.
"This greed... could it be that he still covets my Ancient Dragon?"
"To what extent has he recovered?"
"And that sea serpent... it's only a little over two hundred years old, how could it have advanced so quickly?"
Although he was in a state of extreme rage.
But Hongye's thoughts are still very delicate.
He sensed a conspiracy in Roger's eyes.
If I were to dive down...
The victor may not necessarily be oneself! "That's right..."
"He must have seen through my disguise in the Jade Phoenix Nest a long time ago, and everything he did was to lure me out!"
"I should have been more patient."
Hongye felt a pang of regret.
But he quickly put those emotions out of his mind, because regret was useless at that point.
He swiftly swept across the high sky Greywater Plain.
They formed a pincer movement with Augustus.
In fact, Koyo also noticed Augustus's shock.
The other party probably never expected that the true identity of the "Nightmare Dragon" was an Ancient Red Dragon.
However, Hongye's arrogance made him too lazy to explain too much to a lowly green dragon.
At this moment, all his attention was focused on "Quinan"—
Below, Quinan was having the priests treat his injured little follower.
Even the Sword of Courage was returned to the other party in a perfunctory manner.
"Oh!"
Hongye sneered inwardly.
"You're still trying to fool me!"
Seeing this scene.
The suspicious Red Leaf has already concluded that a trap lies hidden beneath the surface.
Going down that road would most likely lead to certain death.
Absolutely do not go down!
Of course, we can't let things remain at this stalemate.
The red leaves, awakened from the earth's core, soared into the sky in fury, carrying with them a destructive power and rage.
If this anger cannot find an outlet.
His authority will be completely destroyed.
But this didn't stump Hongye.
As a cunning and shrewd dragon, Hongye knew the principle of picking on the softest persimmon.
Very soon.
He then devised a strategy that would allow him to turn the tables and take control.
That's a massacre! We can't afford to mess with Quenan.
"Can't we afford to mess with ordinary people? Only in this way can we test the true strength of Kuinan and that sea serpent!"
"Don't they consider these humans as their subjects?"
"Let's see how much sincerity they're willing to show for them!"
Hongye's mind works very quickly.
The next second.
A deafening roar came from the high heavens:
"How dare you lowly humans trample on the majesty of the true dragon!"
"Today, I will slaughter the human race!"
"Let's start with the most populous city..."
"Everyone must die!"
Before he could finish speaking...
The red leaf suddenly shook its wings.
The entire dragon shot eastward like a flying shuttle! In the blink of an eye.
Only a lone Ancient Green Dragon remained in the sky Greywater Plain.
In the Birch Forest forest.
The scouts were panting heavily.
The shock in their eyes had long since turned into panic!
If the duel between Augustus and "the Queen's Right Hand" was still within their psychological limits...
The appearance of the Ancient Red Dragon was an absolute blow, completely shattering their bottom line!
Both the red dragon and the green dragon are five-colored evil dragons.
But their destructive power is on a completely different level.
In particular, the Ancient Green Dragon like Augustus, who have their own territory and whose style of doing things has been thoroughly understood, are certainly not a small threat. However, royal families and various organizations have contingency plans in place.
But Hongye is different! The moment the Ancient Red Dragon was born.
Only one word remained in everyone's mind—
"Dragon Calamity"!...
Sophie is the same.
He was still able to remain calm at this moment thanks to his special ability called "Cold-Blooded Moment".
His brain was extremely active.
So much so that he silently made mental calculations:
"Ironfire City, population: 236,000."
"White Night Woods, population, 190,000."
"Hill Port, population: 310,000!"
Silver Castle, population, 250,000.
"Hill Port... it's Hill Port!"
This was accompanied by a rapid memory retrieval.
Sophie's last hope was shattered!
The most populous city in the entire south is Hill Port, the capital of the Country of Lyres!
With the flight speed of the Ancient Red Dragon.
Perhaps in less than 10 minutes.
The city that held half his life's memories was about to be destroyed by the dragon's fire! Sophie knew this very well.
The current Hill Port is no match for even a single attack from the Ancient Red Dragon.
But he still insisted on burning the secret letter that read "Ancient Red Dragon Attacks Hill Port".
"I hope Her Highness will survive."
Watching that secret letter burn to ashes.
Sophie's expression turned incredibly somber.
Because he knew that, given the princess's personality, it would be difficult for her to get past him.
If the Dragon Calamity really comes.
Her fate is likely to be a tragic end.
But what else can he do?
Looking up at the Ancient Green Dragon with its wings coldly flapping in the sky.
Sophie suddenly felt helpless.
He plopped down on the ground.
Then she closed her eyes.
"Ultimate Hunter: Your 'Hunter's Mark' has hit 'Red Maple (Ancient Dragon Form)'"
Greywater River.
Roger's expression remained calm and composed.
In the pastors' group.
Brandon suddenly pushed through the crowd and grabbed Roger's sleeve. "Stop him!"
His injuries were very serious.
The snake-shaped dagger is highly poisonous.
But given the nature of Khunan's reincarnation, getting through it shouldn't be a problem, it's just that the process will be quite painful.
Looking at Brandon's pained eyes.
Roger patted his hand firmly:
"Must."
With a ripping sound.
Brandon released his grip and completely lost consciousness.
"Take good care of him."
"Don't let him die within 3 minutes. A woman named Cecilia will come over in 3 minutes. Just leave the rest to her."
Roger changed his gear while giving Diana some instructions.
The latter nodded silently.
She looked at Roger quietly, her lips moving slightly.
In the end, he simply said softly, "Master, be careful."
Roger nodded.
He certainly wouldn't let Hongye massacre the city.
It's the same in every city! Just a few minutes after the autumn leaves appear.
Roger has already communicated with Cecilia quickly.
The Queen told Roger.
She is still unable to go ashore directly; at most, she can only assist from the sidelines.
Just like the assassin who ambushed Momiji before.
She also hoped that Roger could stop Momiji.
Even just delaying his slaughter would be good.
to this end.
She offered a rather tempting price.
Unfortunately, Roger's goal to kill Momiji had nothing to do with the requests from others.
He did not give the Queen a direct answer, but instead made all the preparations carefully before using the Divine Art Badge to tell Cecilia, "Please tell the Queen."
"I need a little more help..."
After the information transmission is complete.
Roger's eyes calmed down.
In his eyes.
Only that Ancient Green Dragon remained, wandering high in the sky!...
In the sky.
Augustus a little dizzy.
He's now in a bit of a dilemma—he thought his partner would be the Nightmare Dragon, but it turned out to be the Ancient Red Dragon Hong Ye, known for its cruelty and ferocity! At the beginning...
He was secretly delighted.
But after the red leaves flew east to massacre the city.
Augustus suddenly stunned.
The red leaves have gone.
What should he do?
We can't exactly follow Red Leaf around and massacre a city, can we? Augustus didn't have that kind of hobby.
But Augustus found it hard to accept that they had flown away so ignominiously.
He was, after all, a renowned Ancient Dragon! He had his own territory.
He also has his own dignity! Moreover, in the protracted battle of the past three days, one of his trump cards, the "Five-Colored Dragon God Stone Pillars," was used up. That was a precious item of the Immortal-grade! If he doesn't make "Kuinan" spit something out...
He was unwilling to accept it!
It's more than just feeling resentful.
Augustus grew angrier the more he thought about it.
He could tell from the way he looked at the person below him, Quinan, that he was completely incompetent and showed no signs of being promoted!
If it weren't for the Sea Serpent Queen's sneak attack...
Hongye's assassin skills were definitely enough to kill him.
Such an opponent, did they really need their two Ancient Dragon to test them like this?
Thinking about this...
Augustus decided to act according to his own will.
"Quinan must pay a price..."
Thinking this, he suddenly swung his massive body, intending to launch a dive attack on the army below! However, at that moment...
Augustus suddenly realized that his wings had become incredibly heavy!
Not good!
When that intense sense of crisis surged into his heart.
A towering, inescapable iceberg had suddenly appeared on his back! "Ah..."
Amidst Augustus's agonizing roars.
He flapped his wings with all his might.
Half a minute later.
His body, carrying the iceberg, slowly made an emergency landing in the southern part of the Greywater Plain! At that moment.
The earth trembled slightly.
Whoosh! Dark green dragon flames spewed from Augustus's mouth.
Dragon flames swept upwards, continuously scorching the bottom of the iceberg.
In an instant.
The ice melted and turned into a wet stream that splashed onto the green dragon's back.
"That woman... how dare she humiliate me like that!"
Augustus's anger had reached its breaking point.
This moment.
He made an unprecedented decision.
He also intends to massacre the city! Now that Hongye has gone to the East.
Then he'll go to the West!
He had long disliked humans, those annoying cockroach-like creatures!
The reason they didn't take action was simply because they felt they lacked the strength and were afraid of giving others ammunition to criticize them.
"The red leaves set a precedent, so even if I follow suit, I won't be the first one to be held accountable..."
Augustus thought bitterly.
Under the scorching dragonfire of the Ancient Dragon.
The water from the iceberg flows straight down.
"I'll be free soon..."
That's what he was thinking.
Suddenly, I felt my tail being pressed down by a powerful force.
"What is that?"
Augustus turned around in confusion.
In the drizzling water.
He only saw a tiny human figure—
The man was lying at the base of Augustus's tail, his outstretched arms unable to encircle the green dragon's tail! "What is this guy doing?"
Augustus found it somewhat amusing.
But the next second...
His smile froze in his heart.
A sudden, strange force came from his tailbone! A strong feeling of weightlessness washed over him.
That moment.
Augustus completely lost control of his body! Everything went black before his eyes.
Immediately afterwards.
It was a sudden, dizzying sensation!...
"Hint: You used ' Black Tiger Master's Body Slam '"
Outside the iceberg.
Roger, having made all the preparations, grabbed Augustus's tail tightly! Although, given his size, he couldn't actually hug it.
However, this martial art is still shown to be available.
Because at the moment he initiated the takedown.
A hoarse voice came from behind Roger: "I'll help you."
A short, blurry figure stretched incredibly long behind Roger.
That instant.
Roger was lying on the dragon's tail, felt a sense of security, as if he were hugging himself and his feet were firmly planted on the ground! "Ready?"
"I am coming..."
The phantom spoke in a low voice.
Roger nodded, and in an instant, he exerted force with his hands and feet, actually pulling the hundred-meter-long Ancient Green Dragon out from under the iceberg! Rumble! The iceberg lost its balance and plummeted violently.
But before the iceberg could even touch the ground.
Roger's second move was complete—
He held the Ancient Green Dragon as if he were holding a giant tree! He stomped his right foot on the ground with all his might.
Under the influence of that extremely powerful force.
Roger leaped into the air, dragon and all!
Boom! The iceberg hit the ground.
Roger flies.
To be precise—
He leaped into the air like a rocket, holding onto the tail of the Ancient Dragon!
Under the influence of that bizarre force that defies the laws of physics.
He pulled the Ancient Green Dragon upside down and flew into the sky tens of thousands of meters above the ground in one breath!
In that instant.
Above Roger's head are the unchanging stars of outer space.
Beneath him lay a magnificent map woven from blue, green, and yellow.
In a daze.
He had a delusion that he had ascended to immortality.
But the next second...
A strong feeling of weightlessness also washed over Roger.
He held the Ancient Dragon, which was as big as a small mountain, in his arms.
He resolutely plummeted towards the ground! The whooshing sound of the wind rang in his ears.
He could feel his body burning.
Even with the "Immortal Palace Set" and "Thorn Halo" accumulating a 50% overall damage reduction effect.
Roger's body still suffered severe damage—
That feeling is actually very difficult to endure.
But Roger's will was unwavering.
Red leaves must die! This thought crossed my mind.
A golden line of sight appeared in his field of vision.
Under the lock of the "Ultimate Hunter".
Roger seemed to have transformed into a precision-guided intercontinental ballistic missile.
Dragging the body of the Ancient Green Dragon, it crashed down towards the east coast like a meteor!
"Dragon Calamity!"
"The Ancient Red Dragon Hong Ye are flying towards Hill Port!"
"Everyone evacuate to the seaside caves and docks..."
East Coast.
The once bustling streets of Hill Port are now in chaos.
News of the Dragon Calamity spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the city.
It wasn't that someone leaked the information.
Rather, the activities of organisms at the level of red leaves can easily cause regional anomalies.
Three minutes ago.
The image of red leaves flying over "Ironfire City" had already appeared on the horizon of Hill Port.
The bards spread the news far and wide.
The entire city immediately descended into chaos.
At this point...
The shortcomings of Hill Port, which could usually be masked by its prosperity, were finally magnified without restraint.
The royal army almost failed to defend even the core areas.
Not to mention going out into the streets to maintain order and manage crowds.
On the street.
Someone is fleeing for their life.
Some people are watching and observing.
Some people are even taking advantage of the chaos to loot.
In a small alley near the western city wall.
The lame girl's screams seemed so insignificant amidst the chaos.
She staggered back into the depths of the alley, clutching the brown food bag tightly with both hands.
In front of her.
They were three emaciated men with pale faces.
They remained silent.
They simply surrounded them step by step.
"The city has already become like this even before the Dragon Calamity has arrived."
"Go and rescue that girl, then take her to the beach..."
On the crenellations of the city wall.
Princess Messiah, dressed in a white court dress, solemnly instructed the two guards beside her.
A look of reluctance flashed across the guards' faces.
But knowing the princess's temperament, they did not disobey the order. Instead, they quickly walked down the steps and jogged towards the alley.
After the two left.
She was the only one left on this city wall.
She dismissed all the soldiers.
Fight against the Ancient Dragon.
The soldiers' existence is meaningless.
As for royalty and nobility...
They're probably already vying for the best spot in the seaside cave, aren't they? It makes me think of my father and brothers' usual ways.
Messiah felt a wave of nausea wash over him.
She has devoted all her energy to this seemingly prosperous but actually crumbling country.
The city was ultimately destroyed by the irresistible Ancient Red Dragon.
It's more dignified than war, isn't it?
That's what she was thinking.
He couldn't help but turn and look westward.
Deep red fiery clouds had already ignited on the horizon.
"Destroy it."
That's what she was thinking.
But at this very moment...
A strange thought surfaced in her mind:
"If I can survive this..."
"What should I do then?"
She found the idea both funny and shameful.
Ultimately.
She was still a cowardly woman who clung to life.
She doesn't like this version of herself.
She decided to jump off the city wall before Long Yan arrived, as a way of proving her resolve with her death.
Thinking about this...
Messiah struggled to climb the city wall.
Whoosh! A scorching wind swept in.
Her legs trembled slightly.
However, at this very moment...
She suddenly noticed a green comet in the sky!
How can a comet be green?
Driven by curiosity.
Messiah instinctively took half a step back and stared intently at the comet on the horizon.
That moment.
Not just the Messiah.
Countless eyes West Continent are fixed on that Green Comet that appeared out of nowhere! In the far north, where Floating City abound.
The usually quiet "City of Meteorology" Central Plaza was now packed with people.
The wizards from the "Cosmic Observatory" were discussing the images, texts, and data appearing on the big screen with great enthusiasm:
"Has Hongye gone mad? Is he really going to massacre the entire city?"
"What's the deal with that comet? Any news?"
"It's too fast! Can you slow it down?"
"Zoom in! Zoom in!"
Urged on by the wizards.
The high-ranking wizard wielding the Demigod Artifact "Eye of Meteorology" did his utmost to magnify the screenshot of the comet.
The next second.
The square suddenly fell silent.
Everyone saw it.
That comet—
That wasn't a comet! That was a person!
There was also an Ancient Dragon being dragged along by that person like a dead pig!
The wizards' mouths gaped slightly.
A tingling sensation ran down my scalp.
It's not just Cosmic Observatory.
Many organizations in the West Continent observed this astonishing scene.
It just doesn't have Demigod Artifact like the "Eye of Meteorology".
The information from those organizations is delayed.
When they saw that scene.
The matter has long been settled.
Apart from the Princess Messiah who came by chance.
Only Momiji herself saw the comet falling from the sky! In fact.
When he realized the comet was heading straight for him, he made a very quick dodge, but it was too late.
The comet was falling incredibly fast! From the moment it appeared within his perception range to the moment it actually hit him, it only took 0.5 seconds! And in 0.5 seconds...
For a Ancient Red Dragon that is nearly 200 meters long, it is simply not enough to make any adjustments!
In the despairing gaze of the red leaves.
Roger, however, made a slight adjustment to his posture at the last moment and performed a series of subtle maneuvers! Boom! The comet landed!
Augustus's body slammed onto Momiji's back!
The next second.
The ' Green Comet ' pierced through the body and rank of the Ancient Red Dragon, slamming it heavily onto the earth! The terrifying power extinguished all life in the vicinity.
A deafening roar echoed from the plains west of Hill Port.
The place where the two dragons collided.
Dust rose more than a hundred meters high.
The seaside was stirred up by thousands of waves.
Inside Hill Port.
Everyone was knocked to the ground by the sudden gust of air and the shockwave.
They stared blankly at the sky.
I don't know what happened.
On the western city wall.
Messiah, who had been knocked down by the blast wave but climbed back up, gazed in astonishment at the distant plains.
A long time passed.
She could only vaguely make out a huge crater in the dust! Its diameter was at least 5 kilometers!
"They really survived..."
Messiah forcefully wiped the sand and tears from his face.
Suddenly, he ran quickly down the city wall and into the meteorite crater.
In the meteorite crater.
The corpses of the Ancient Twin Dragons were completely mangled from the violent impact.
Within the chaotic flesh and blood of the dragon.
Suddenly, a faint blue light appeared.
It was an exquisite Divine Art Badge.
The land shrouded in the aura of the badge.
There is a beating heart.
This is our final reliance.
A powerful force for recovery is emerging! Before long...
Roger has been reborn!
The data column faithfully records the entire process.
"You killed the Ancient Green Dragon Augustus and the Ancient Red Dragon Hong Ye."
"Warning: You have entered Near-Death State... Your body is severely damaged and you may die at any time (Level 4)..."
"Hint: The Queen's Right Hand is protecting your heart. Quick Resurrection is initiating..."
"Call!"
"It's finally done."
In the meteorite crater.
Roger dusted himself off and got up.
After confirming that Hongye had indeed died from that slam that spanned half the continent.
He cheerfully began cleaning up the battlefield.
Because he successfully switched the target of the Extermination Order before he died.
Therefore, Augustus and Momiji each contributed three chances to draw for him.
What's even more interesting is...
After defeating the two Ancient Dragon, the options for the Extermination Order were optimized, and a "Mixed Extraction" option was added.
Roger thought for a moment.
He may not be able to use Ancient Dragon's special abilities, but he doesn't want to give up the opportunity to draw special abilities.
Therefore, Mixed Extraction seems to be the best option.
"Hint: You have gained 0.05 Dragon God Authority Rank from Augustus"
"Dragon God Authority Rank: You can understand the language of dragons; "
All dragons that do not possess the Dragon God Authority Rank must show you respect;
All sub-dragons and dragonborn will worship you;
You have gained the attention of the Dragon Worship Cult;
All dragon worship rituals will infuse you with power;
You can sense all the dragon-related professions and races around you (knives, Lizardmen, Dragon Vein Warlock, etc.).
You have gained the feat awarded by the Dragon God Authority Rank - Dragon Priestess.
"Dragon Priestess (Rank Feats): You can recruit 8 priestesses who worship dragons and will obey your every command."
Dragon Priestess possess at least 80 Job Levels; they also have the ability to establish sects, preside over rituals, and organize events.
"You have acquired a special skill from Augustus: Reproductive Penetration"
"Reproductive Penetration (Racial Perk): Your genetic material has the ability to penetrate reproductive barriers, allowing you to reproduce with any species and possessing the 'one-shot kill' characteristic."
"You have acquired a specialty from Augustus: Mass Hypnosis."
"Mass Hypnosis: Spell-like Abilities feat that allows you to cast Greater Hypnosis on a group of targets, with an effect roughly equivalent to a 9th Ring spell."
What Augustus was only so-so.
Next up are the autumn leaves.
Roger hesitated for a moment.
The option of Mixed Extraction is still maintained.
"Hint: You have acquired the special ability from Momiji - Ancient Dragon Flame"
"Ancient Dragon Flame (12th Ring Feat / Self-Adaptive Adjustment): All your fire attacks inflict the Ancient Dragon Flame's burning effect; the Ancient Dragon Flame's burning effect ignores fire resistance."
Note: Ancient Dragon Flame is not magic; it is a natural fire.
"You have gained 0.06 Slaughter Authority Rank from Momiji"
"Your Slaughter Authority Rank has reached 0.11, and you have received a rank reward (Enhanced Slaughter Aura)."
See here.
Roger's face lit up with joy.
As expected of Hongye! He was very satisfied with both the Slaughter Authority Rank and the Ancient Dragon Flame.
The third draw was just average.
He was satisfied.
A moment later.
The results of the third extraction flashed on the data panel.
Roger's mouth dropped open.
"Hint: You have acquired the special ability from Momiji - Commandment Kill".
"Commandment Kill (12th Ring Feat / Self-Adaptive Adjustment): This feat will automatically trigger when an enemy's health drops below 50%".
During the period when the expertise is valid.
The target will be subject to Instant Death Judgment every 10 seconds. Those who fail to save will ignore the near-death effect and be directly put into a death state of level 4 or higher.
"Wow, that's incredible!"
Roger couldn't help but swing his fist!
The next second.
The Milestone System, which was only discovered belatedly, suddenly appeared.
"You have killed Augustus and Red Leaf, and you have achieved a new milestone: the Fall of the Ancient Twin Dragons."
"The Fall of the Ancient Twin Dragons: This is the Real Wrestling!"
"Corresponding title: Comet Master (You are immune to friction damage caused by high-speed flight)"
Today is a victory for the Black Tiger Party! Also, this month's title event has started. Brothers who are interested can check out the title post in the book review section.
