âSha shaâ¦â
My sword tip broke through the rock and I popped out to check the surroundings. Right above us were several hundred Sword Spirit Cavalrymen counting the airs. Furthermore, there were crowds of Demon Sword Masters on the ground. However, none of the Hybrid Demon Kings seemed to be guarding here. They probably thought that we had escaped elsewhere and went to look around.
Odelia tugged on my leg and asked, âWhatâs the situation?â
I replied, âAll of the Kings are gone. However, there are quite a few Level 4 and Level 7 Hybrid demonsâ¦â
âPaâ¦â
Queen Zhi Shu leapt out and stood in the air with a smile, âIâll fly with Master. Odelia, charge Southward with me. Once we enter Ba Huang City territory then we should be safe. The Hybrid Demon Kings are worried about the might of the Tian Ling Empire, so they wonât start any large scale attack southward.
Odelia smiled, âAlrightâ¦â
The Red Dragon Queen didnât say anymore and reached out to hold me. In the next moment, we shot off into the sky. A group of Demon Sword Masters started yelling and charging towards us. But all Zhi Shu had to do was raise an arm and shout, âGet out of my way. Anyone who blocks me, Die!â
âHong!â
She then spat out a dragon flame that created a fiery whirlwind. Hundreds of Demon Sword Masters were all burnt to ash. I gaped at the attack. As long as we donât encounter any Kings, then the Red Dragon Queen could probably go on a rampage in the Hybrid Demon Territory. Actually, as long as we donât meet two or more of them, then she wouldnât have any problem whatsoever.
Odelia smiled and flew beside us. Of course she was happy doing anything that didnât require her help.
We flew extremely fast and broke through the cloud layer. We then followed along the Ghostly Rope Bridge and made our way into Death Canyon. In the sky, a group of Sword Spirit Cavalrymen caught up to us. Odelia then smiled, and pulled out a sword as she flew forward. She threw it straight at them. It flew out and pierced through the crowd of Sword Spirits. She then grinned widely and shouted, âExplode!â
âPeng!â
The Holy Domain energy hidden within the sword exploded and dozens of Sword Spirits all turned to meat. The rest didnât dare follow us because they all knew that the beautiful assassin wasnât something they could deal with. One of the Sword Spirits roared, âHurry, go report to Lord Lin Han. These d*mn*d b*st*rds have escaped. Chase after them! We cannot let Frostâs head leave this place,. Otherwise weâll be destroyed by her vengeance!â
â¦â¦
We flew over Death Canyon. The Red Dragon Queen decided against going around and charged right over the Bloody Plains, the nightmare of all players!
The entire ground was red with rivers of lava cutting across. In the sky, there were hundreds of Level 3 Plunderers flying around. The Red Dragon Queen easily dealt with them all by activating [Blaze Domain]. All of the Plunderers that were hit were instantly burnt to crisp. Countless pieces of shining equipment fell into the lava, which seemed like a waste.
On the ground were Hellhounds, Bloody Tear Dragon Men, and Gravedigger Demons roaming the area. But they couldnât reach us and could only screech at us from the ground. Each one of them looked at us with eyes of hunger and desire. What a painful feeling, to want something but not be able to get it!
After a hour of flight, we could finally catch a glimpse of Dragon City in the distance. Even though it was still cut in half and in ruins, but⦠it still had a chance of being recovered. After all, there were hundreds of players that were in the city now. Looking from afar, all of their shoulders had a crimson insignia floating above them. It was the same as the one above my own shoulder. Wan Er, Dong Cheng, and Li Mu brought all of our brothers to meet us!
We were but a step away. But right at that moment, the sound of war drums began to boom and crowds of Sword Spirit Cavalrymen flew up into the sky. On the ground, a whole army of Nightmare Cavalrymen galloped down the plains. The Fist of the Dragon Igoras and Lin Han appeared in the sky at the same time. Igoras raised his long sword and coldly looked at us, âZhi Shu, my most beloved Red Dragon Queen. Did you really think that the Stone of Medusa was enough to petrify me for a lifetime? I knew you would return to the continent of the humans and so you had to pass through Dragon City. Give up. You cannot escape. Be obedient and stay. Create a new future for our Dragon Tribe. This isnât what you should be doing!â
The Red Dragon Queen coldly laughed, âScum, do not talk to me!â
As she said that, she glanced back at Odelia and said, âI⦠Iâll use a curse to deal with all of the Nightmare Cavalrymen and Sword Spirits. Odelia, you take my master and return to Dragon City. I can see, there are a lot of Masterâs friends there. They will definitely protect the master. I can only help you up until this pointâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCurse?â Odelia was stunned, âAfter youâre done with the curse, then youâll become incredibly weak. I canât leave you here by yourself. As a warrior of Justice, I cannotâ¦â
Zhi Shu smiled, âDonât say that. Youâre someone who has killed hundreds of people for gold. Donât say youâre a Warrior of Justiceâ¦â
Odelia looked over at me, âThe Red Dragon Queen is about to sacrifice herself for justice, what do you think?â
I stared at her, âIâll stay. When Zhi Shu is done with her curse, Iâll take her away. Do what you want you fake Warrior of Justice.
âWell, are you looking down upon me?â
Odelia raised her long sword and said, âItâs just dying together, itâs nothing much. Today, Iâm definitely going to be a Warrior of Justice!â
â¦â¦
In the sky, Igoras raised his sword and laughed, âWar drums, advance!â
One after another, giant beasts appeared. They carried strong beastmen who beat war drums on their backs. The drums shook the earth. After the battle of Dragon City, a new battle had begun once again just days later.
The Red Dragon Queen Zhi Shu looked up. Flames began to whirl around her, pushing me and Odelia away. The next moment, red scales began to appear on Zhi Shu and she wielded a Dragon Blade. This was her strongest battle stance!
âHum humâ¦â
The earth began to tremble and boulders split in two. Golden runes rose up. Everything within a few meters was under the control of the Queen Zhi Shu. She closed her eyes and began to shiver. Her power was becoming stronger and stronger.
âAh?!â Igoras roared.
Lin Han raised his sickle, Misfortune, âBrother Igoras, whyâd you suddenly shiver?â
Ignaus roared, âD*mm*t, this crazy old bat⦠sheâs using a dragon curse. Thatâs⦠thatâs one of the three great Dragon Curses. Iâve only seen it once in my life! That time, Elder Diamond, The Dark Dragon King and Heavenâs Angel Dick had all been killed. It was a nightmareâ¦â
âThis⦠what do we do? Run?â Lin Han was stunned.
âWe canât escape. This place has already been sealed by her!â Igoras raised a long sword and said, âWe can only pray. Hurry up and activate your strongest defense skills. As long as we can last until we arenât cursed to death, then we can easily kill the weak Red Dragon Queen!â
âAlright!â
The sickle in Lin Hanâs hand flashed. He roared and a crimson shield rose up around him, â[Hellâs Defense]!â
Igoras raised his sword and black dragon scales began to appear. He shouted, â[Breath of the Dragon King]!â
â¦â¦
The Queen Zhi Shu closed her eyes and looked at Ignaus, âDie!â
She raised both of her arms. The Runes rose from the ground in a circle, creating a strong current in the air. The godly power of the curse began to expand. The Queen Zhi Shu shivered and she brought down her arms and shouted, âDestroy everythingââ [Lament of the Gods]!â
âHong!â
The sky lost its color and I practically couldnât see anything. Then, a strong light engulfed the area. I closed my eyes but I still heard the cries of the Sword Spirit Cavalrymen and the Nightmares. They didnât have a single defense against the might of the curse.
âAhhhâ¦â
Igorasâ screams were lost in the wind as his body was ripped to pieces. Within seconds, his legs were pulled apart and his left arm disappeared. All that was left was his right arm carrying his long sword. He bled all over his body and stood shakily in the sky. All of the injuries on his face were to the bone. This Black Dragon King looked even more sinister now.
Lin Han was in a much better situation. Most of the power from the Red Dragon Queenâs curse had been focused on Igorasâ body. It was only due to this that Lin Han got it easier.
Bones of Hybrid Demons littered the ground. With this one attack, Zhi Shu had killed over half of the Hybrid Demon army. My experience went up two levels. I was already at 109!
â¦â¦
âWuâ¦â
After using that curse, the Red Dragon Queenâs body softened and she fell to the ground. Odelia gaped at the scene. I urged my horse forward and caught her falling body in the air. I then charged forward with my Flying Tiger God and shouted, âOdelia, you idiot, why are you standing there? Hurry up and follow me!!!â
I the distance, the war drums sounded again. The broken Hybrid Demon Army had not given up yet.
In the sky, Igoras cried out in pain from all of his wounds. He shouted, âRed Dragon Queen, just you wait! This debt, I, Igoras will return it to you tenfold one day. Just you wait!â
Lin Han raised Misfortune, âD*mm*t!â
Igoras roared, âLin Han, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase after them! Kill that b*st*rd and the Red Dragon Queen. Donât forget, youâre the one that made Lin Han a traitor. If Frost revives, you know better than anyone who sheâll hate more than anything!â
Lin Han was stunned. Killing intent began to rise around him, âEveryone, charge towards Dragon City. Kill! Kill all humans in the vicinity!â
â¦â¦
âPeng peng pengâ¦â
The hooves of my Flying Scythe War Horse pounded the ground. I raised my sword and carried the Red Dragon Queen towards the city. On the border, Wan Er wielded her dagger and glanced over at me, her eyes filled with urgency, âPig, hurry up and come!â
Beside her, Li Mu raised his sword and shouted, âPrepare the Death God Arrows!â
