Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 287 Mission: 08-1 Dragon Invasion
"The above is the result of the Executive Department's investigation."

President Angers was presiding over a meeting, an important seminar held in his office for the college's "tenured professors."

The meeting was focused on a very specific topic: Bronze City and its invaders. What Principal Angers had brought back from the city was already alarming, but the information Ye Sheng and his team had obtained was even more frightening.

The entrance torn by the earthquake, the mudslide on the rainy night, the killed dragon servants, the bloody footprints...all these coincidences seem to indicate that at this moment there is a powerful enemy hiding in the dark, waiting for its arrival.

"A dragon in human form, and a descendant of the earth and mountains."

"Perhaps the destruction of the Bronze City was also His doing. This line of beings is best at causing the greatest turmoil with the least force."

"There were only traces of fire at the scene. It looked like he didn't even use his spiritual power. This..."

"Sure enough, it can only be the Dragon King?"

"Then why didn't He take the brass jar? The bronze and fire half was sleeping inside it. He could have devoured it directly."

"But it's only half, isn't it? Maybe He has already succeeded."

"The mark of the broken pot is old enough to be of no recent origin."

"If it weren't for this, He would have no reason to enter the Bronze City."

The argument continued. Everyone worried about the shadow of the dragon lurking behind this incident. To preside over this meeting, Principal Ange even put his experiments on the Bronze and Fire Lords on hold. If the Earth and the Mountain were truly behind this incident, they might attack again for the jar.

This was also the conclusion reached by the tenured professors. They unanimously agreed that the being who had killed the two dragon servants in the Bronze City was the King of Earth and Mountain—because there was a huge gap in combat power between a humanoid dragon and a dragon-shaped dragon. The fact that they could easily defeat two of them alone indicated a significant difference in their bloodlines. Furthermore, all traces at the scene, including cracks and mudslides suspected to be caused by an earthquake, corresponded to the power of the Earth and Mountain lineage.

His target should be the dormant Bronze and Fire King, because it is well known that pure-blooded dragons can only strengthen themselves by devouring their own kind if they want to continue to improve their bloodline. And at the level of Dragon King, the only way to strengthen themselves is to devour Dragon Kings.

The reason He gave up was likely because He had been injured in the battle with the Dragon Servant, or had consumed too much energy, and planned to take action after recovering from His injuries. Or perhaps, devouring the Dragon King required a "ritual"-like prerequisite, and the King of Earth and Mountains was preparing for it.

Regardless of which one it is, Kassel Academy, which stole the Dragon King's egg first during this period, will become the target of his attack.

"I suggest immediately summoning all dispatched specialists with bloodlines above A-rank," someone suggested. "A Dragon King-level enemy is worthy of our full preparation."

But others objected, "There's an old Eastern saying: 'A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against him for a thousand days.' Even if we summon all the A-level specialists, how many days can they stay? Remember, this means stopping most high-risk missions, which could lead to irreversible consequences!"

"Indeed, there is no exact date for the attack. We can only prepare using the forces within the academy."

An De nodded and smiled slightly, "Yes, trust the students. They-"

A roaring explosion interrupted his words, and a streak of flames tore through the night. Angé's face suddenly changed, and he stood up. Looking out the window, he saw that the gate of his academy had been blown through, and men in black on motorcycles broke in.

"Red alert status! Red alert status! Dragon invasion! Dragon invasion!"

"Dragon... invasion?!" Everyone present was stunned. This was Norma's judgment, and it was never wrong. They had analyzed for so long before concluding that the enemy would attack the campus, but they seemed even more impatient.

"Non-combatants, take the elevator to the ice cellar for refuge and prepare to dissect the Dragon King's eggs." Amid the shrill alarm, Principal Ange's face was stern as he extinguished his cigar. "Members of the executive department, command the students to engage the enemy.

"Let the invaders remember that this is not just an academy—it's a fortress!"

Norma's voice continued to echo in the night wind: "Freshmen stay in the dormitory. Students who have passed battlefield training will immediately receive weapons and seal all entrances. You have the right to shoot unidentified persons..."

"Dragon dragon dragon dragon invasion?!"

Lu Mingfei, who was having a late-night snack with Finger in the cafeteria, widened his eyes. Finger immediately took off running towards the cafeteria. Lu Mingfei followed and asked the senior brother, "Is this the direction to get weapons?"

"No, this is the food warehouse..."

Finger rushed in and said casually, "There's a lot of frozen meat in the warehouse. The dragon shouldn't be able to smell us here."

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"You...didn't pass that battlefield training?" he asked.

"If you pass, you pass, but if you don't go, you'll just lose some internship points. The latter is definitely more important than your life!"

How shameless! Lu Mingfei came to his senses and quickly asked again, "So the dragon invasion is true?"

"It should be. You heard the explosion just now, right? This isn't a drill. The invaders must be real."

"Okay. But do you really think I can hide here? To be honest, I feel so cold——"

Two people were shivering in the cold warehouse, while on the other side, in the attic at the top of the clock tower, a fat old man dressed in cowboy clothes was not affected by the alarm at all and was still drinking beer and watching a movie.

Until a phone rang.

"Don't you get bored of watching the same movie all the time?" Ange's voice came from the receiver, perking up the old cowboy.

"Anger? You're back?"

"Yes. I also have the Dragon King Norton's egg with me, and I'm waiting for an MRI on it," Ange said. "You've heard the alarm, too. I hope you can temporarily remove the 'Word Spirit Discipline'."

The old cowboy, the night watchman at Kassel College, put down his bottle, stood up straight, frowned, and asked seriously, "Are you sure?"

"I just had a meeting with the tenured professors. They all believe a dragon king will come to seize the eggs we have. Your words and disciplines cannot suppress the dragon king. Without the words of the students, how can we fight the dragon king?"

"Damn it! The Dragon King is here and you're still talking so lightly?!"

The night watchman raised his beard, jumped up from the sofa, and blew out a candle that was burning quietly in front of him:
"Remember to take care of your students!"
