Cheerful, optimistic, a little childish, and a penchant for petty mischief, the demon slayer hero "Dragon Knight" Auguston probably never imagined that his dragon partner, decades later, would actually make a pact with a conspirator full of darkness and hatred.

In fact, Marne was not born like this. From an orphan to a prince, then to a slave, then to a beggar, to a prince, then to an adventurer, then a dragon knight, and finally to a king, this series of different roles made up Marn's entire life. In the face of betrayal, trickery, and conspiracy day and night, Marn would not have survived if he had not been more vicious and ferocious than his opponents. Of course, what has sustained him to this point is one of the most important beliefs: what the queen mother said before she died.

Revenge and seizure of the throne - the queen's three last wishes, the first two of which Marn has fulfilled; as for the last wish: the king of the world - Marn knows that the kingdom of Agulaima has limited national strength, and no matter how it develops, it does not have the hard power to unify the world. He could have relied on the gate of the Shumiro Empire, the greatest external force, but this door had been sealed by Marn himself.

The only way to go now, not to mention that normal people can't do it at all, don't even dare to think about it: that is, from humans to dragons!

As long as he can become a member of the Golden Dragon Clan, then the war that Tamar participated in is not simply an internal war of the human race, as long as the entire Golden Dragon Clan intervenes, it is just around the corner to unify the entire human world.

To this end, Marne handed over state affairs to several of his most trusted confidants, and once again disappeared from the public's sight. He and Grace, along with a powerful medical team of twelve priests and doctors, traveled to a desert island and practiced for a year. In order to cultivate the "dragon power" obtained by virtue of the contract with Grace to the extreme, Marn carried out the strictest and harshest training on himself, and the cruelty was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and even Grace had repeatedly advised him to "do what he could"; in this year, Marn had 421 fractures, 305 coma, 216 concussions, 164 internal organ breaks, 98 burns all over his body, 74 heavy hemorrhages, and 41 mental disorders. The heart completely stopped beating 12 times...... Almost every day, Marn wandered in front of the ghost gate, and if it weren't for Grace and his medical team, Marn might have died on the first day.

Broken bones become harder after treatment, and the will becomes stronger after each mental disorder...... Escaping death again and again, Marn's physique became stronger and stronger, and he also became more and more skilled in manipulating the "power of the dragon". Hard work pays off. With his hellish training and his own great talent, Marn finally got the reward he had always dreamed of.

Returning to the mainland a year later, Marn took the initiative to challenge Shatarikis, who had voiced the greatest opposition to his "True Dragon Ritual......

The battle of that day almost leveled the woods northwest of the royal capital. In the end, Marn defeated his mentor, and Shatarikis was completely defeated in his humanoid form, and Mar won the affirmation and recognition of him from the Golden Dragons, thus clearing the obstacles on his path to the "True Dragon Ritual".

"Shataricis, there's something I haven't asked you all along. When you went to destroy Marn's 'True Dragon Ritual', under the influence of the fairy dragon maiden's magic, what power were you driven by?" Isabel continued.

"It's a voice. Shatarikis finally told the secret that had been buried in his heart for more than 2,000 years, "At that time, the words of a strange man sounded in my head. The voice told me that he was going to rescue his friend, and that the only way to do that was to disrupt the 'True Dragon Ritual'. Then my body moved involuntarily. ”

"Involuntarily?"

"Yes. I swear, while I did always be reluctant to let the kind of Marne be one of us, at the time, all my actions were out of my control. ”

"Who's going to be in control? Is that the voice of the strange man you heard?"

"I don't know who the owner of the strange voice is, and I've been chasing it for two thousand years. However, in the last year or so, as I have followed your orders to secretly track and protect the human named 'Thunder', I have heard that voice again. But it no longer rings in my head, but I hear it through my ears. ”

"You're saying that the voice is someone next to Ray?"

"Hope I misheard. I don't want to believe in that kind of absurdity. ”

"It's not entirely 'absurd', the fairy dragon's spiritual magic is not just an illusion that doesn't exist, it can also be some kind of foreshadowing of the future. Isabel ended their conversation with a deep and obscure word.

30 years old, in the culture of the Far East, is an age called "erli", that is, at the age of 30, as a man, he should have a successful career and can truly be independent.

But for Marn, the 30th birthday has a special meaning.

April 20 is the 30th birthday of King Marne.

In fact, it is not clear what Mane's real birthday is, April 20 is nothing more than the day when Grace sent Marn from her infancy to the royal palace, and then this day was regarded by the old king as Marn's birthday.

For the first 30 years, Marn's life was full of ups and downs, and after this day, Marn will be greeted by a completely different new life.

The sacrificial hill in the southern suburbs of the royal capital is a sacred mountain used by the high priests' council to worship the gods, and no one is allowed to approach it in normal times, let alone divert it for other purposes, but now the prestige and power of King Marne are in full swing, and several high priests dare not speak more, even if a foreign ritual is held in the sacrificial hill, this kind of behavior has long desecrated the faith of several high priests, but they are clear in their hearts, in this situation, only silence is the only way for them to continue to have divine power.

At this time, the hill of worship is bustling with activity. To the north of the altar stood thousands of people, the high priests of the kingdom of Agulema, the high priests, and the generals loyal to Marn, as well as the guard of honor and the army they brought to cheer, while to the south of the altar, there were only a dozen or so people who could be counted by Liao Liao. However, these dozen or so people were more weighty than the thousands of people on the other side, because they were all golden dragon clans that had transformed into human form.

The "True Dragon Ritual" begins.

As the dragon partner, Grace sliced her own palm, and the palm of Marn, who was also cut, collided with each other, and the dazzling golden ball of light surrounded them, forming an inviolable barrier. The blood of the two men flowed into each other's bodies through the wounds in their palms. Replacing all the original human blood in the contractor's body with the blood of the dragon clan is only the first step of the "True Dragon Ritual", but it lasts for 8 or 9 hours. During this time, the transformation of the flesh produced pain like crushing bones and craniotomy, skinning and fleshing, and climbed in Man's pain nerves in a geometric level, and the torture of life was worse than death, and even the most tenacious tough guy could not be completely unmoved.

Marn couldn't take it anymore, and he let out a few snorts of pain, not loud, but when it came through the barrier, it moved the onlookers. Originally, it was the most honorable thing for them to be able to witness His Majesty's transformation into a powerful dragon clan, but at the scene, they saw that His Majesty was completely tortured and abused, if it weren't for the powerful power of the Golden Dragon Clan on the other side, I was afraid that these thousands of troops would have rushed forward desperately to rescue their king from the barrier.

Thankfully, the humans didn't act rashly before the transfusion process was over, so that the worst didn't happen sooner.

The golden ball of light dimmed, and the barrier was opened. Glace, who had lost a lot of blood, seemed to collapse a little and staggered back a few steps, while Marn still maintained the position of holding his palms forward, although the wounds on his palms had healed, but Marn still did not move. At this time, although Marn looks no different from ordinary humans on the outside, he has actually been transformed into a body similar to a dragon, but it still takes a while for him to fully adapt to this body, and before that, Marn's consciousness is in a state of dissociation.

But the Golden Dragon Clan wouldn't give him much time. There were 2 men and 2 women respectively, and the four golden dragons suddenly jumped high, turned back into dragon form in the sky, and kept rotating around the altar. The "True Dragon Ritual" immediately entered the second stage, allowing Mar to receive and inherit the magic of the Golden Dragon Clan. This is a more difficult test than the blood exchange just now, if Marn can hold on, he can turn into a dragon as he wishes, if he can't survive, his whole body will explode and die will be his only fate.

Although they had been mentally prepared, when they saw the dragon clan show their true bodies, those powerful humans were still frightened. The coercion that could not be completely subdued leaked out, and several old ministers and high priests were carried out on the spot because they could not bear the violent beating of their hearts, and other young and strong soldiers were also shrouded in the dragon's might, and kept retreating. If it weren't for the iron discipline, they would have just dropped their weapons and turned away.

The four golden dragons hovered in the sky for a few minutes, then raised their heads together, ready to spew scorching dragon flames into Marn below.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew forward on the side of the Golden Dragon Clan.

"Shataricis, what are you going to do?!" exclaimed Empress Isabel next to her.

However, the people who were ordered by her to drink turned a blind eye.

"The ritual must be terminated!"

Shatarikis threw down the words, his steps only fast and slow, and he swept past Grace for unknown reasons, and threw a heavy punch into the head of Marn......
