In the middle of a vast snowy area, a shirtless man with very fine muscles was practicing his swordsmanship there, and that person was me, Larrick Field.

Avina and I have been cultivating for so long in the mountains of the Kingdom of Norsland that we don't know what's going on in the outside world, let alone that Gravel's fleet has ransacked the economic city of Purin Harbor in the southern part of the Empire.

It was now May 6, 1501, the first month of the sun, and Gravel's fleet had already returned to Golgaron, the capital of the Kingdom of Norsland, where unprecedented celebrations were taking place to celebrate Gravel's triumphant return. This time to invade the empire, Gravel they gained greatly.

Whether it's slaves, horses, women, gold and silver treasures, airships, warships, crossbows, magic crystal cannons, and so on, more people are eager to conquer the shattered empire. Not only that, but they also captured the Rear Admiral Narland, who had single-handedly built the Narland Line.

But these are things that I don't know at all in the mountains, and that's what I don't care about now. None of this will be relevant to me, because I have more important things to do.

Ivina and I have been on our side for so long, and we're just going to be ready for what's next. After so long of preparation, I feel that the time is almost ripe.

Under the tutelage of Belgrave the Dragon, I became more proficient in my combat skills and dragon magic. At the same time, I also know a lot about what happened before, and it was not between mortals, but between gods. Now I am no longer the same person I used to be, and I can say that my realm and vision have become higher.

I know a lot of things, including some realms of strength. In addition to ordinary people, some strong people up there, such as angels and demons and dragons, this is a level, these often stay at or the strength of magic, definitely stronger than the strong of humans, but not absolutely, some humans can also reach this level through hard work.

Further up to the high-level dragons, archangels, and demon lords, the strength of this level is even stronger, equivalent to the elite class, although there are very few people who have reached it, but there are still many people on this continent who have reached this level over time.

But on the Internet, that's a level that few humans can reach, and that's the domain level. It can be said that the realm level is a hurdle, it is the physical body and magic strength that have reached a peak state, and the next step is the realm of gods. But it's not so easy to become a domain level, it has to have a certain understanding of the laws between heaven and earth, although it is rare, but after all, it has surpassed a lot.

At the realm level, the common ones are dragons, demon kings, and archangels, and these are the masters of this level.

Because I inherited the power of the soul of the flame dragon Belgrave, and I absorbed the power of the dragon soul of the ghost dragon Dilago, it is not surprising that my soul power suddenly returned to the realm level.

Under Yan Long's guidance, I have been cultivating for such a long time, so it is relatively easy to reach the realm level.

It's not because of how hard I've worked myself, but because I'm a Dragonborn, I'm Belgrave the Dragon, and Belgrave the Dragon.

It's Avina, since she came to practice with me, her progress speed can hardly be described as coming in by leaps and bounds, and she has simply broken through her limits.

I have to admit that whether it is the mysterious blue magic of the protective body or Avina's background, I now feel more and more that this woman has many secrets that I don't know.

Her resolute eyes, her affection for me, her tolerance and understanding of me. Ever since the moment she had also made up her mind to become stronger with me, I couldn't do without this woman in my heart.

I feel that no matter what comes my way, I will not be afraid or lost. In the same way, in order to protect Avina, whoever dares to hurt her again, I will never let that person go, no matter who he is.

I have a responsibility, and I have endless love for Avina in my heart. Avina's current strength, although there is still a hurdle at the realm level, but compared with ordinary high-level dragons, archangels, and demon lords, Avina's strength is also much stronger than them.

From an ordinary girl, to reach such strength, it is simply terrifying. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed it.

Where we stayed, that calm lake.

I stood in the air, my skin replaced by fiery dragon scales, and I became a half-dragon. I wielded the Sword of Punishment, and the blade was infused with the power of the dragon soul of Belgrave, the dragon, and turned into a burning sword. Because this Sword of Punishment is not an ordinary sword, it was found in the "waste heap" of the mermaid princess Alice in the deep sea fortress, it is a one-handed sword made by the dwarven forge master, it can be called famous and extremely sharp.

At this moment, I have completely entered a state of self-forgetfulness, and this state of self-forgetfulness makes me forget all the trivial troubles of the world. Ever since I practiced dragon magic with Belgrave, the dragon magic with the path of destruction has filled me with a killing heart, and my emotions are easily agitated and difficult to control, but this is also a direction of my cultivation.

The decisiveness of my sword, every baptism of iron and blood, has turned me into a sharp sword, invincible. The purer, the more terrifying, the more powerful.

It is easy to say that there are no distractions, but it may only be possible for people with strong willpower to do it.

The small cabin we lived in with a lake, mountains, and woods was later told to me by Yanlong Belgrave that this was the place where he practiced back then.

Of course, only I can find this place, because there is an enchantment here, and no one at the realm level will find it except for gods.

In this scenic place, I've grown stronger with Avina, because we know that the enemies we're going to face next are three demon kings who will never show mercy to us again.

These three realm-level demon kings are different from the previous ones, they are either new or show mercy to our subordinates, these three are going to destroy me when they see me, and then they themselves want to become the reincarnated existence of the demon god, at least they want to take the Atholl magic weapon in my hands.

I can only get stronger, and only then can I fulfill my mission and protect the people I love.

Of course, now that I've cultivated to the realm level, I want to leave here and find the Ancient Corpse Emperor with Avina to retrieve the magic weapon.
