Chapter 79: Lord Dragon King

But let's be honest – it doesn't matter if they don't.

After all, it is a group of magisters related to the Kingdom of Einke, and there is a relative risk of recruiting them to their side.

It can only be said that there are pros and cons to this request.

That's right.

I haven't asked her real name yet.

"We're talking too much and forgetting to get to business - what's your real name?"

“…… Itri. Full name 'Etri. Granger'. ”

"Sounds like an aristocratic name."

"Like a statue - but I've been an orphan since I was a child."

"Orphans...... It wasn't easy, to be able to climb to the position of head of the Enk Magister. ”

"Magister?"

Itri instantly looked puzzled.

But then I realized what I was wearing, and I realized what Wu was talking about.

"Have you seen the clothes of the Einck Magister?"

Miserable! I accidentally spoke my mind.

After all, the other party is also the head of the Enke Magister Regiment, so it is impossible not to know the identity of the little prince.

The past must be obscured.

"Well...... Nothing, I saw it a few times when I was traveling. ”

"Didn't you say you weren't a traveler? Do you want to continue to lie to us? ”

“…… This one. ”

This woman is really perceptive.

Or are you too ignorant?

I really accidentally said it......

Wu wanted to say and stopped thinking about how to explain it repeatedly, and his expression was a little distressed.

Eatri beside her was all in sight.

"There must be something unspeakable, right? Then I'll just ask. ”

"Well...... Thank. ”

"You're welcome - but then again, we're not who you think we are."

"What?"

Before Wu could comprehend Itri's words, thick footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Then came the familiar greetings that you didn't want to face.

"We're meeting again—sir."

Wu couldn't hide his surprise, and gradually turned his head to look at the mouth of the cave, which was the source of the sound.

How could it be him?

Why is it here?

That is the mind that makes Wu feel adored forever, and it is also the existence that makes him feel afraid after gaining gluttonous power.

Disent.

That is, his own father.

But that's in the past.

Could it be that the result of the previous Night Raven's return - there is an enemy whose strength level is in the "Demon Level" is the Father Emperor!?

In the cold cave, relying on fresh blood to warm his hands, the simple wide cloth clothes are full of messy battle marks, looking embarrassed, but the indifferent face is not the same.

As the leader of the Eynke Kingdom and the "Dragon Man" appointed by the "Dragon King" in the Dragon Cult, this heavy dual identity makes Disent very weighty, and also sets off the hidden overlord atmosphere.

That cordial greeting didn't make Wu let his guard down.

I really wish I could spend more time with my father.

But it's definitely not in this capacity, and I don't want to meet again in this kind of scene.

But now that the eyes have been met, the topic has been opened, and there is no reason to avoid it.

It should be said that he has no right to recuse himself.

"Why are you here?"

"It's just a coincidence. Anyway - how many are the companions? ”

Disenter looked at the few people present suspiciously.

I'm not a companion yet.

Because Eatri hadn't agreed to her request yet.

"I am not an accomplice to this woman in yellow robes. and the man with the explosive head was an accomplice. ”

"I see. In fact, I have a few things I want to talk to about this woman in yellow robes, I wonder if the two of you can leave first? ”

"This woman in yellow robes?"

Isn't this man the leader of the Enk Magister? Why is it so unfamiliar?

Do you not want to reveal your identity?

It is indeed very in line with the low-key personality of his father.

"Miss Eatery, then, let's say goodbye for now. I'm quite looking forward to hearing from you. ”

"Well...... But do you two know each other? ”

"It can't be regarded as an acquaintance, it's just a one-sided relationship."

"But I don't know the man in front of me, why is he talking to me?"

"You don't know?"

How is this possible?

The monarch of the dignified Eynk Kingdom, as the head of the army of the Blessed Monarch, didn't even know him?

The father will indeed deliberately hide his appearance and identity.

However, the Enk Magister Regiment is an important military force subordinate to the interior, and it is impossible not to have seen the true face of his father.

What's going on......?

"What's wrong? Why did this gentleman hesitate and not leave? ”

“…… Don't you know each other? ”

"I really don't know." "I haven't seen this man either."

"I see......"

Wu seemed to recall what Eatri had just said to herself.

- We are not who you think we are.

I see.

No wonder the opposing side will have a full army of monsters.

No wonder they inhabit such underground caverns.

It is no wonder that the kingdom, which has never actively interfered in foreign affairs, has been discredited.

No wonder my father is here.

- Father plans to take Itri and the others away.

The reason is simple.

Eatli and the others are not the real Eink Magisters.

Their purple gold dragon robes were counterfeits.

did such a thing that was suspected of insulting the national prestige, and the father would certainly not let them go.

Even if they are not among the people of the Kingdom of Eink, they will still be punished.

The Kingdom of Eynk is the most powerful kingdom in the plains, and its national prestige is omniscient.

No country dares to confront Einke head-on.

Even if these people come from other countries, they will not be spared from Aienke's punishment.

I am afraid that I will face the most serious "death penalty".

Looking at Itri's dazed appearance, it seemed that he didn't know what fate he would face.

I'm a little sorry for my father for doing this—but I have to stand up.

Without hesitation, Wu looked at Diesent, standing in front of Edit.

Discent isn't stupid either.

"You don't seem to want to leave?"

"I'm sorry - you seem to have bad intentions, I'm afraid I won't hand over this yellow-robed woman easily."

“…… How did you see if I had bad intentions? ”

"Your bloodstains and battle scratches prove that you've been through a lot of battles on the way here, right?"

"That's also because the guards don't listen to the persuasion - I have mercy on my men."

"Then I'll just ask you a simple question - what do you want to talk about with this woman in yellow robe who has never met before?"

"This ......"

Discent was speechless.

"That means you shouldn't have a reason to meet this yellow-robed woman alone, right?"

“…… Indeed it is. But—"

"Please."

"You also seem to indicate that you are not his accomplice, do you? So why do you want to protect her so much? ”

Blunder.

I didn't think that Itri was a suspect in impersonating the Eink Magister.

If you knew, you wouldn't be able to get rid of the relationship easily.

But—

This negotiation will not be lost.

"It's better than this—it's true that neither of us knows this woman well, and in the position that we have to fight for the right to talk to this woman, we can use the fairest 'exchange' to decide, right?"

"Oh? I don't have a problem with that. So it's up to you to tell us more about this exchange. ”

Divicent agreed rather boldly and gave Wu the right to make rules.

Maybe it's out of confidence in your own strength.

But it's also possible that I'm worried that the gap in strength will be too big and I'll feel a lot of frustration.

Truly.

Even though he is the son of his father, he has never seen what kind of strength his father has as a "dragon man".

This competition is really bad for me.

But I don't get nervous or worried about it.

I'm not weak now.

If you maintain a strength level above the demon level, you should have a way to compete with your father.

Besides, the father should not show his real skills at will - just to fight strangers he doesn't know.

"In this case, in order to avoid disputes or defaults, let's 'decide the winner with one move'!"

"Interesting—please be more detailed."

"Each side will attack each other with 100% strength until the other party can't hold on or dies."

"What!? It's going to kill you! Can you think of a safe comparison? ”

Discent was adamantly opposed.

Sure enough, there was strong opposition.

My father is very kind and gentle, and even as a stranger, he will put himself in his shoes.

And he still doesn't know that he's a glutton.

His retort was not that he was afraid that he would die because of the fight.

Rather, worry about yourself.

But of course I'm not worried.

"Is that all you realize?"

"No...... It's just too dangerous anyway. ”

"Definitely. If it were an ordinary person, it would be an absolutely unbearable battle to the death. But I'm sure you're no ordinary person, and I'll graciously admit that I'm not as weak as you think. ”

Glaring firmly at Disent.

This is the first time that Wu has shown a determined look since he inherited the gluttonous body.

Comes from the desire to fight against his father.

is also a child's respect for his father.

He didn't want his father to let go of the water because of this.

I don't know who I really am - at least I have taken myself seriously as an "enemy", rather than as an uneasy childish imp or a container for undertaking my own great business.

You can't blame your father for not understanding himself.

Because he has never tried to understand his father.

Not even interested.

It wasn't until I really felt death that I realized how violent my former self was.

So far, I finally have the opportunity to fight my father.

Maybe it's the last time we got to fight.

You have to cherish it.

Please.

Please show your real skills to fight me.

Let me see, the great hero who once guarded the entire plains, the monarch who guarded the kingdom of Eynk, and—

I loved my father dearly.

Wu's eyes never changed.

This steadfast fighting spirit shook Divint.

He wavered.

Look at it again.

"What is your last name?"

"Fortes—no surname, only a name."

"I see—first of all, I have the highest respect for your affirmation and fighting spirit. Besides, I'm sorry for the disrespectful attitude I just questioned your strength. At last! I am willing to accept your challenge. ”

"Great."

Wu finally raised the corners of his mouth with a little interest.

Only Edit, who was stunned behind him, still hadn't figured out the relationship and aura between the two.

The two of them prepared their positions, and their eyes touched each other.

The battle is like a death-like battle, creating a cold aura that transcends this "ice crystal cave".

At this point, Itri still didn't understand that the next thing was about to be an apocalyptic confrontation of force.

There were shouts from within the secluded cavern.

The loud voice was mixed with anxiety.

Seems to be looking for someone.

"Your Majesty! Where are you? ”

It was Grossar's shouting.

Grossar used his hands as amplifiers for his voice, and his fast and slow steps searched for the lost figure.

The figure of Divicente.

The side of the road was littered with scarred Magisters, and there were many traces of battle.

Discent apparently passed by here.

Following the mages who had lost their combat effectiveness everywhere, Grossar thought that he could track down Disent's figure.

However, the cave was surprisingly large.

Unfortunately, the scene inside the cave is quite monotonous, and it is difficult to discern the exact direction.

The labyrinthine cave not only has two large forks in the "east" and "west", but also has many subtle branch bypasses, and if you do not write down the route of the entire cave in advance, it is easy to get lost.

Just like the current Grossar.

Even with the keen aura of the Holy Lion, you can't find the slightest bit of Discente's dragon aura.

It seems that the breath is deliberately hidden.

It may be that they are deliberately hiding for fear of being discovered by the enemy.

But this indirectly increases the difficulty of finding Discent on his own.

With Dimo's help, the two of them were able to break through the enemy's initial line of defense.

But I encountered this big fork in the road.

At first, Discent proposed to divide the troops into two ways, just because the two of them had warmed up from the previous battle, and the enemy's standard was generally low, so naturally there was no need to worry about the enemy who followed him.

For this reason, even if they go separately, accidents are unlikely.

So Grossar didn't think much about it and agreed to Diescent's request.

Democente chose the west and Grossar chose the east.

But the more you go, the more wrong it becomes.

The east side he chose not only has the appearance of human magisters, but also the footprints of many dangerous monsters.

And there are far more monsters than I have seen before.

On top of that, the keen aura of the Holy Lion senses an even worse threat.

It was only a few minutes after I stepped into the eastern acupoint.

It was a very oppressive murderous aura.

This murderous aura contains a surreal power of non-human beings, and it is even more impossible for such a dangerous monster to exist in the world.

It's a power I've never met before.

How to say it - it's a terrifying power that is close to Lord Lyon.

And Grossar is also very clear.

There is a considerable distance between that force and where he is now.

In other words, it was an unknown threat that covered the entire underground cavern.

This kind of strange power on par with Lord Leon, Lord Leon, who has survived for tens of thousands of years, should know the source of the power.

But I didn't ask.

Given the displeasure he had made with his previous random summoning of Leon, Grossar did not dare to trouble Leon again.

I had no idea that there would be such an unfathomable man in this cave, and I could never let Your Majesty explore the unknown dangers alone—even though this act was a bit disrespectful to Your Majesty's strength.

But I will never allow His Majesty to make any mistakes.

Grosar eventually turned around, intending to walk to the cave to the west and follow Divicente closely.

But here's the problem.

Although Discent hides his aura, he uses "war dragonization" to strengthen his body.

At this time, the speed of Disenter was as terrifying as the speed of light, and the gap between himself and Discent was already 108,000 miles.

It is a "dragonization" of dragonborn magic.

The so-called "Battle Dragon" is a unique skill of being a "dragon man", and pure dragons cannot use it.

Able to sublimate a human body into a complete dragon in a short period of time, while maintaining the "battle dragonization", not only can it greatly strengthen its own body, but it can also easily exert all the power of "dragonborn magic".

Because only by strengthening one's own body instead of attaching elements to one's body, there is naturally no problem of breath leakage.

But this seemingly perfect magic has huge drawbacks.

The effects of "War Dragonization" will weaken over time.

Although it can increase the duration through proficiency, it can only last for a day at most at the apex of a human being.

According to the experience of using Discente, it can only maintain the "battle dragonization" for half a day at most.

Based on this calculation, the peak state of "War Dragonization" is about three hours later.

After the time passes, there will be a severe decline in ability.

The magnitude of the decline is far greater than the significant increase in capacity, which is the so-called "negative growth".

When the "War Dragon" fails to transform back into a human, the body will appear as if it is paralyzed and unable to move.

However, as a user of "war dragonization", the emperor also knows this.

It can be speculated that the emperor did not completely "war dragonization" of himself, but only did a partially strengthened "war dragonization".

For example, make yourself a half-dragon and half-human with dragon wings, or only do partial strengthening.

It doesn't seem to be much of a help in combat, but the side effects are greatly reduced, and a lot of stamina can be retained.

If you can rely on the power of Lord Leon to strengthen your body, you may have a chance to keep up with the emperor.

But.

Lord Leon is still angry with himself, and if he rashly asks for help, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

Not to mention asking for consent.

Because of this, Grossar, who only relied on the flesh of the mortal fetus, eventually evolved into a drama of distraction.

However, as time passed, he passed through countless branch bypasses, and almost every place left very obvious traces of battle and enemy injuries - especially the number of injuries was so large that it was not as if the emperor did it alone.

The enemy lying nearby was not half dead, at most unconscious from serious injuries.

I'm afraid there are other invaders in this cave, but I haven't encountered them yet.

Although the enemies are not very good, at least they are all mages with combat experience.

To deal with so many enemies on the premise of mercy on the premise of his subordinates, presumably the other party should also have two brushes.

I don't know if the other party's intentions are the same as ours, but everything must be considered for the worst end.

I must be more worried about the emperor's safety.

Worried thoughts are about to overflow his dangling head, and constant self-blame is attacking his heart.

May Lord Ryuwang bless His Majesty's life.

Bless the pillars of the kingdom of Aynk.

Suddenly, the strong smell of wild water overflowed all around, and the killing intent that came to the nose was mixed with uncontrollable emotions.
