Fire Dragon Technique

"If I'm not mistaken, you've spent these past five days preparing an ambush, haven't you..." Ye Luo said softly, his face devoid of expression.

Barrit's eyes flashed with sharp intensity as he spoke proudly, "That's right. We intentionally dragged out the negotiations for five days to craft magic scrolls and conceal our soldiers. Ye Luo, you possess more intelligence than other magical beasts, but compared to humans, you are still far behind. Your previous guerrilla tactics were astonishing—at least enough to make our dear Lord Morton, Robert, speak up for you time and again. However, your stupidity lies in your ignorance of human dignity and human strength! Our dignity dictates that we will not coexist with you beasts, and our strength ensures we will never stand on equal footing!"

"So, Robert is unaware of this?"

"Of course. Did you think I didn't know about the tricks you played on Robert? Let me teach you a lesson: a mage's greatest asset is their mental power. Your mysterious surveillance method may lack magical fluctuations, but it couldn't escape my perception. Every conversation we had with Robert was staged specifically for you to see! To prevent you from employing those startling guerrilla tactics, we had to ensure we wiped you all out in one go. That is why we spent five days crafting invisibility scrolls. The one thousand elites of the Keren Kingdom's Third Regiment will ensure you have no way to escape!" The pride on Barrit's face pierced Ye Luo's eyes deeply.

Ye Luo lowered his head. "You are right. I am stupid. To choose forgiveness after being betrayed once is magnanimity; to choose forgiveness after being betrayed twice is tolerance; but to still choose forgiveness after being betrayed three times is stupidity! Yet, my stupidity is the result of me holding onto expectations for humanity, kindness toward humanity, and identification with humanity! It is what has led me to this point today."

Warwick let out a cold snort. "Ye Luo, as long as you understand that, pray that in your next life, you aren't born a magical beast!"

"Kill!" Warwick knew full well that Ye Luo was stalling for time, so he wasted no more words. He swung his right hand violently, immediately ordering the attack!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" One thousand soldiers marched in perfect unison toward the three of them. Their footsteps were unnervingly synchronized, the heavy armor striking the ground with a dull, rhythmic thud like a drumbeat.

"My Emperor, the main army is still at least seven minutes away. We will clear a path for you; break through toward the rear!" Ye Meng clenched his fists, and the blades on both his hands extended!

Ye Luo closed his eyes and took a deep breath! When he snapped his eyes open again, those black, star-like pupils were no longer filled with disappointment or pain, but with bone-chilling coldness! "Hum!" A black imperial battle armor slowly covered his body, and the short hair on his head grew at a visible rate until it reached his waist, fluttering in the wind.

The encirclement tightened, and the armored soldiers drew closer. The front row held their shields firmly against their chests, their blades ready to claim lives at any moment, using the blood of their enemies to add to their own glory!

"Kill!" Finally, when the armored soldiers were within three meters of Ye Luo and his companions, they launched their charge!

Ye Luo let out a fierce roar, grabbing Ye Meng with his left hand and Ye You with his right, while Ye Yi instantly transformed into a speck of dust and landed on Ye Luo's shoulder. Ye Luo exerted all his strength, stomped his right foot hard against the ground, and launched his entire body into the air!

"How is this possible!" Warwick roared in disbelief! Flight was a privilege reserved for those at the seventh rank or higher. Ye Luo and his companions clearly lacked wings; how could they possibly fly?

"Damn it! Robert deceived us!" Barrit was equally consumed by rage. Almost all their intelligence regarding Ye Luo had come from Robert, yet Robert hadn't mentioned a single word about Ye Luo being able to fly!

"Proud Fire Spirit, when the dignity of the flame is provoked, I ask that you descend with the Fire God's punishment and turn these wicked enemies to ash!" Barrit's hair and beard stood on end, and his eyes seemed to flicker with red flames. His left hand carved an intricate inscription in the air before his chest, and red fire elements manifested along with his movements. The entire process of chanting and carving took less than two seconds. As soon as the fire inscription formed, Barrit struck his left hand, and the inscription surged toward the crystal on his staff! At the same time, the full moon on his robe emitted a faint golden light.

"Roar!" A fireball shot out from the staff with searing heat, and once it was a hundred meters away from Barrit, it transformed into a fire dragon ten meters long!

The fire dragon's body was as thick as a barrel, and the intense heat caused the surrounding air to warp! The fire dragon circled wantonly in the air before biting fiercely toward Ye Luo!

"My Emperor, put me down. I will only drag you down!" Ye Meng looked at the approaching fire dragon behind them and roared.

However, Ye Luo's eyes remained resolute as he flew desperately toward the distance!

Ye You, held in his other hand, underwent a transformation. He snatched Ye Meng from Ye Luo's grasp and, to everyone's shock, began to fly through the void as well!

Ye You pulled Ye Meng along, turning to fly in a different direction. As Ye Meng was dragged by his shoulders, he kept shouting, "What are you supposed to be? A fire dragon? God, why do you look even uglier than a fire snake? You know, before this, I thought fire snakes were the ugliest creatures in the world!" Ye Meng mocked while waving his sharp claws.

"Roar!" The fire dragon, composed of countless fire elements, was provoked by such taunts. It twisted its body, abandoned Ye Luo, and flew toward Ye Meng.

Ye Meng's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted to Ye You, "Run! That damn fire worm is following us!"

"Stupid, do you think you can escape like that? Get back here!" Barrit was watching the battle closely. As soon as the fire dragon tilted its head, he understood Ye Meng's intention. Unfortunately, as the red light of the fire inscription on his hand flashed, the fire dragon turned its head straight back to pursue Ye Luo, and the distance between them began to shrink rapidly!

"It's too late. Ye You, throw me over there!" Ye Meng shouted without hesitation.

"Get away! Ye You, I command you as the Zerg Emperor, get out of here!" Having led his brothers into a life-or-death situation due to his own mistake, Ye Luo was already filled with shame. Hearing Ye Meng's plan to throw himself into the fire dragon to shield him, Ye Luo shouted with bloodshot eyes. But he had clearly underestimated the loyalty of the Zerg heroes toward their Sovereign!

Even though Ye Luo was flying at full speed, the Overlord's greatest ability was detection, not mobility, so the distance between him and the fire dragon was closing in a straight line. He didn't need to look back to feel the intense heat behind him!

As the fire dragon opened its bloody maw, ready to swallow him whole, Ye Meng and Ye You simultaneously transformed into two black shadows and hurled themselves toward the beast!

"Boom!" Like a lamb to the slaughter!

As if feeding the beast, Ye Meng and Ye You jumped into the fire dragon's mouth at the same time!

"Boom! Boom, boom, boom!" A violent force blasted Ye Luo out of the sky. He turned back in utter grief, only to see the spot where Ye Meng and Ye You had been engulfed by a massive ball of fire...
