It is scorching like purgatory, blazing as brimstone. Vast rivers of flames poured down, rocks melted, and flowers, birds, and trees burned to ashes.

"Dragon !!" A woman let out a high-pitched, miserable scream. She fled like crazy into the depths of the street.

It was as if the people woke up at this moment, crying, screaming, pushing and fleeing in all directions. Squeezed what should have been a wide enough street into a mess.

The guards who were supposed to be in their duty spun around like headless flies, throwing them on the ground like rubbish of second-life armor and weapons. They fled to whatever corner they thought was safe. Trembling like quail in a rainstorm.

These powerful warriors were now no match for a little girl who was less than ten years old.

It's chaos.

The flames of the dragon fire poured down like a waterfall, turning the entire street into a sea of fire.

The palace collapsed, the tall building was reduced to ruins in an instant, and huge shadows roamed around. The wind whipped up by the wings blew the tree apart and cracked.

'Woo~Toot――――――!!!! ’

A desolate horn sounded, and dozens of archers with a shred of courage swarmed the middle wall, and the three-edged steel arrows that flashed with cold light immediately shot at the dragon!

They can't even make a sound when they hit the scales.

But it was as ridiculous as trying to fight the giant with a toothpick, but it provoked the dragon's wrath. The manic wind brought a thunderous roar.

"Yol-ToorShul――-" [Breath of Fire]

At least a hundred feet of the upper end of the wall vaporized in an instant! The remnants turned into hot lava and flowed down like a stream.

The voice that resounded through the four fields was like the proclamation of the god of the deceased. At that moment, the huge crimson gold figure was reflected in the hearts of everyone, and the fear was eternal.

"I am - Minimenir."

…………

'Smack. The ancient note in Farenga's hand fell to the ground, and he himself was unaware of it.

"The Sublime Dragon...... A monster that has lived from the first era to the present...... How could this kind of thing, this kind of thing be here!? He murmured in fear, and in his scattered eyes, the golden-winged god of death sowed calamity on the earth.

"Farenga, do you have a way to deal with this beast?" Behind the wizard, the solemn voice of the Great One was heard.

The wizard was genuinely admired, and he couldn't understand what kind of strong will it took for the lord to be calm. Confidence, even ...... Fighting spirit.

But he must dispel the lord's fighting spirit.

"It's impossible, my lord."

"A mortal's sword can't inflict substantial damage on a dragon, even if it's a fluke. Dragons will also come back to life after a brief slumber. Only the ancient warriors of the ancient times have mastered the ritual of banning dragons, and the only Blade to inherit this power will ...... You should know what they look like now. ”

"Yes......" Barguf was deep in thought, but the dragon wreaking havoc not far away didn't have much time for him to entertain, just a sentence or two, and an entire neighborhood was reduced to ruins, and hundreds of civilians were burned to dried corpses!

Some of the guards resisted spontaneously, using the cover of the Corner Tower to shoot arrows at the dragon, and even counterattacked with the giant crossbow at the top of the tower!

This did pose a bit of a hindrance for the dragon, so when it tore through the tower with its claws, it was supplemented with a frost breath that froze the warriors who dared to swing their swords at it into powder, along with their armor and weapons.

The lord immediately did not hesitate, and he immediately ordered the chief of the dark elf guard beside him: "Ireles! Inform Krako and let him gather the warriors he can come in handy! Also, invite the Priest of Hemsinko as well! ”

The latter bowed slightly, disappearing like a ghost. Barguf then pulled up the court wizard and walked quickly towards the hall of Longxiao Palace.

"Follow me, Farenga."

"You'll see the secrecy of the Dragon Palace for hundreds of years. Hopefully it will give you a little confidence. ”

The ceiling trembled faintly, and the wood powder at the joints of the structure fell down. This made the two of them can't help but speed up their pace.

"Hundreds of years ago, a powerful wizard visited the Dragon Palace. He prophesied to his lord at the time: 'In a hundred years, the dragon's fire will consume the city.' His power was so great that even though the lord of the time was skeptical, he passed down the prophecy. I used to think it was just a joke. It's just that I didn't expect that this prophecy has now come true. ”

Before he came to the throne, he didn't know what mechanism he had pressed. The heavy marble then moved outward.

He took a scroll from the dark compartment and handed it to Fariga.

"This is the secret technique of sealing the dragon left by the wizard who called himself Nemo. It has been carefully stored by successive lords. ”

Even if he didn't open the scroll, Fariga could feel the abyss and sea of magic beneath the scroll. Even if it didn't trigger, it made the high-ranking wizard's heart tremble. I'm afraid that something will go wrong if I'm not careful.

"This force...... Even if it's not a dragon sealing secret technique, the magic energy contained in it has the ability to destroy mountain ranges! His knuckles were trembling, but he was clutching the scroll.

"So, are you sure now? Farenga. ”

…………

Anche only felt the sky spinning, and the blurred light and shadow were drawn into mottled lines.

As he gradually touched the third level of power, his eyesight gradually recovered.

It turned out that it wasn't because the Ebony Blade cursed him, but because he was too weak and his will was too weak. So much so that it must be eroded by the sword in order to gain the power to dominate the sword.

From his abdomen came a warm water-soaked touch, and the healing magic gradually repaired his broken shell.

It's Alice.

Anche never expected that it was this girl who took advantage of the chaos brought by the dragon to save herself.

"Why save me?"

"If you want to save it, you can save it, where did it come from and why?" Alice replied casually, her brow furrowed slightly.

This wound ...... It seems a little special. This kind of Cheng dù's restoration spell didn't have much effect.

Lydia was outside to help her get out of the way. The dragon in the sky made her uneasy, even though she had seen the power of dragons in Helgen before. But the second time she saw it, her heart was not as calm as she expected.

Explosions and screams kept coming from the closed windows, as if a special force was fluctuating in them.

It was as if something was calling to her, making her blood boil all over her body.

This makes Alice irritable, though not obviously. But when he bandaged Anche, he was a little rude.

Anche's brow furrowed deeply.

"Where's the parrot?" He asked in a low voice.

"Who's that?"

"My companion," he added. "It's the woman who came with me."

"Who knows where it went." Alice shook her head absently, "I don't know her, maybe she's run away." ”

She was right. At the moment when the dragon attacked, Franster and Verjes ignored the two defeated generals - they were members of the Brothers-in-Arms group, and the Dragon Palace did not have much binding power on them. And Xueman's safety is much more important than the two thieves.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, they subconsciously ignored the ebony blade in Anche's hand when they left.

But Anche doesn't think so. Some kind of inexplicable love filled his mind. He suddenly grabbed Alice's hand tightly and roared, "Sue me, where is the parrot!" ”

"You're hurting me!" Alice shook Anche's hand away with all her might. She felt the crack in her arm bone crack again, and a faint tingling sensation followed. Alice then turned around, looking for some new potions and bandages.

"Your wound is not a problem for the time being. Run now, you should have a way to get out of the city with the chaos. Alice said to Ances, handling her arm.

She didn't see Anche's fists clenching at all.

The parrot loved him, and he was not unaware. But because of the blood feud in the family, he couldn't respond to this love.

But now it's different, with the Ebony Blade, sooner or later he will be able to have the power of revenge. And he will use it to control the Brotherhood. At that time, the parrot will be his woman, sharing the joy of victory with him.

[And Alice actually threw her out like this!] This damn woman! 】

[She also deliberately didn't heal my injuries! Doesn't she know there's a dragon out there!? 】

[Could it be ......]

Suspicion breeds suspicion, suspicion breeds resentment, and in resentment, the shadow breeds.

Anche clenched the ebony blade - the dark red rune civilization on the jet-black sword body was uncertain.

A voice echoed softly in his ears.

Draw on the blood of deception, and you will gain enough power to escape. 】

Anche's eyes narrowed slightly, both from perception and from a blurred vision, and Alice, who had her back to him, was intently handling the bandages on her arms, defenseless.

He can't kill a parrot who is in love, can't he kill an Alice who only has a few faces?

"Alice......" Anche whispered the name of the girl in front of her.

"Huh?" As soon as the girl turned around, the black shadow that rushed to her face pushed her out of the way by more than ten feet! In the trauma that pierced her heart and lungs, he nailed her to the ground!

"You!" Alice's eyes were wide open, almost bursting their sockets! She looked at Anche in disbelief, at this man with a distorted face, red eyes, and revenge!

"You're actually!" Red blood poured out of her mouth and nose, and she wanted to raise her hand, but her whole body seemed to be withdrawn, and she couldn't use the slightest force.

Even more severe than physical suffering is spiritual pain. This sword, called betrayal, almost completely broke her will.

Lydia's screams could be heard outside the doorway, and she must have sensed that something was wrong in the room. Let's hope she doesn't come in......

Anche looked at Alice indifferently, and as the girl was gradually weakening, he could feel that the wound in his abdomen was rapidly healing, and his own vision was rapidly recovering.

"I'm sorry," Anche whispered. "But I still want to trouble you to heal my wounds."

In Alice's grief, several metalized tentacles rose from the ground and bound Anche tightly.

What's the use of that?

Anche smiled, it didn't hurt him, at most it could hinder him for a few seconds.

A few seconds......

The roof shattered, and dragon fire poured down.

“Yol－ToorShul――――！！！” [Spit Eyes: Breath of Fire]
