Transmigrating into a dragon clan experimental subject, is that even possible?

"This is a sign of backlash," Tian quickly analyzed. "We must immediately sever the last energy node!"

Chu Zihang wielded the Dragon Cutter, its blade ablaze with intense flames, aiming straight for the final core of the rune array. Caesar followed closely behind, his rune sword, imbued with the power of lightning, slashing down heavily, its blade clashing with the flames of the Dragon Cutter.

"Mingfei!" Chu Zihang shouted.

Without hesitation, Lu Mingfei spun the short sword in his hand, its blue light illuminating the final point. A deafening roar erupted as the blade collided with the runes, shattering the runic chains and sending the blue light scattering into countless fragments in the air.

The metal sphere emitted a final, low rumble before disintegrating amidst flames and energy, completely annihilating the fragments of the dragon's will. Calm returned to the air, and the energy fluctuations that had once threatened the entire ruin dissipated.

Lu Mingfei gasped for breath, leaning wearily against the wall: "Finally over, right? I don't want to go through this hellish game again."

Caesar easily sheathed his rune sword and laughed, "Don't worry, even if there is a next time, we will still be your strong support."

Chu Zihang wiped away the rune marks on the Dragon Cutter, his gaze cold and stern: "Although the Secret Society failed, this operation proves that their control over the dragon's power is nearing maturity. We must be even more vigilant."

Tian nodded: "The threat from the dragon race has not been completely eliminated, and the academy needs to immediately study new countermeasures."

Lu Mingfei shook his head with a wry smile: "It seems there will never be a peaceful day again."

"Perhaps," Chu Zihang's voice remained calm, "but as long as we are still here, this battle will not end."

Before the ruins had even recovered from their shock, a suffocating sense of oppression suddenly filled the air. Faint blue runic light once more illuminated the ground, like countless streams converging into a river, meandering deeper into the room. The energy fluctuations emanating from the runes grew increasingly intense, as if something was awakening from its slumber.

"These guys are really persistent!" Lu Mingfei looked at the runic light beneath his feet with a look of horror. "Didn't they say the core had been destroyed by us? Why is there a problem again?"

Tian quickly inspected the equipment, his gaze cold and stern: "This is the Camarilla's backup plan. They used the entire network of runes in the ruins to construct a secondary array, directly connected to the slumbering place of the King of the Ocean and Water."

Caesar sneered and raised his rune sword: "They're really playing games, even having a double insurance. It seems they're determined to bring that giant lizard down."

Chu Zihang wasted no time. His gaze fell on the enormous water vortex that was gradually forming in the center of the room. The power emanating from that vortex far exceeded that of the metal sphere from before, as if the entire room was about to be dragged into the deep sea. He said in a low voice, "The Camarilla's sacrifice is beginning. We must stop it."

A flash of blue light appeared on the rune spear, quickly scanning the room's structure: "The rune array is fully activated, and the core of the sacrifice is at the center of that vortex. It must be destroyed, or the Ocean and Water King, one of the Four Lords, will descend in full force."

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened: "Are you kidding me? That water snake almost sent us to our deaths just now, and now you're going to bring down the Four Monarchs?"

Caesar waved his hand, his tone relaxed: "Don't worry, Mingfei, you'll survive as long as you're with us."

"The problem is I don't want to rely on luck every day!" Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth, but still gripped the short knife tightly. "Fine, we've already done it, we can't just run away now."

Just then, the runic light suddenly burst forth with a blinding blue, and a blurry, enormous figure slowly emerged from the vortex. It was a colossal creature formed from seawater and energy, its form resembling a hybrid of a giant serpent and a sea dragon, covered in scales, its eyes a deep blue like an abyss, radiating an awe-inspiring majesty that was impossible to look directly at.

"The King of the Ocean and Water..." Tian murmured, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, "is trying to break through the barrier of reality and descend upon this world."

A giant serpentine body swam within the vortex, causing the air pressure in the room to drop abruptly. Water condensed from the air, forming whirlpools that swirled around it. With each gentle flick of its tail, a force as powerful as a gale or a tsunami surged forth.

Chu Zihang gripped the Dragon Cutter tightly, flames igniting on its blade, its emerald light flickering like a lighthouse in the storm. He said in a deep voice, "We can't let it happen—go all out."

Caesar licked his lips, and the lightning power on his runic sword suddenly erupted: "Finally, something exciting is coming. Let's make our move!"

The four of them rushed towards the center of the vortex to confront the descending giant serpent king. Chu Zihang was the first to swing his Dragon Slayer, the blade blazing with intense flames as he thrust it straight at the serpent's body. However, the serpent's scales were as resilient as seawater, and the blade's penetration did not cause any real damage; instead, it provoked a fierce counterattack.

The giant serpent let out a deep roar, and the water transformed into sharp blades that scattered in all directions, plunging the entire room into chaos. Caesar leaped into the air, his runic sword slicing through the water blades, shattering the oncoming attacks one by one, while simultaneously closing the distance and slashing down at the serpent's head.

"Its scales change density depending on the direction of the attack!" Tian quickly analyzed from behind. "We must attack from different directions simultaneously to disrupt its defensive mechanism!"

“Then leave it to us!” Caesar laughed, his rune sword flashing like lightning, drawing most of the giant snake’s attention.

Lu Mingfei circled around to one side of the vortex, his short sword emitting a faint blue light that resonated with the surrounding runes. He took a deep breath, aimed at the node beneath the giant serpent's body, and leaped up, thrusting his blade straight down.

The moment the dagger struck the rune node, the energy flow of the entire vortex suddenly stopped. The giant snake let out an angry roar, its body twisting violently, and the waves it stirred up almost knocked Lu Mingfei to the ground.

"Not enough!" Tian shouted. "Its core energy source is hidden near its head! Chu Zihang, you must destroy it yourself!"

Without hesitation, Chu Zihang charged forward again. The flames of the Dragon Cutter burned even brighter. His gaze was fixed on the giant snake's head. He leaped up like lightning, the blade drawing a streak of cyan-green light, piercing straight between the giant snake's eyes.

As the Dragon Cleaver pierced the core, the giant serpent's body suddenly stiffened, and the vortex's energy began to malfunction. Tian quickly adjusted the rune gun, aiming a blue beam at the core energy, which merged with the Dragon Cleaver's flames, completely destroying the summoning circle's energy cycle.

The giant serpent let out a final, mournful roar, its massive body disintegrating into countless droplets that scattered through the air. The vortex's light gradually dimmed, and the entire ruins fell silent once more.

The four stood at the center of the dissipating energy, each panting heavily. Caesar looked at Chu Zihang and grinned, "Not bad, Chu Zihang, today was your best performance yet."

Chu Zihang withdrew the Dragon Slayer sword, his gaze cold and stern: "This is our mission, there's nothing special about it."

Lu Mingfei slumped to the floor, looked up at the empty ceiling of the room, and sighed deeply: "I'm really exhausted. Next time there's a mission like this, could I ask for leave?"

The Heavenly General sheathed his rune spear, a hint of seriousness in his eyes: "The Camarilla have failed this time, but their plan was very close to success. If we hadn't stopped them in time, the King of the Ocean and Water might have already descended."

“They won’t stop here,” Chu Zihang said coldly. “Next, we must completely dismantle the CCP’s power base.”

The air suddenly turned icy cold. Before the four could catch their breath, the runes on the ground erupted with a blinding blue light once more, and the entire ruins began to tremble violently. At the center of the destroyed summoning circle, crimson and deep blue energies intertwined and swirled, and a low dragon roar came from the cracks, as if it came from an endless abyss, carrying an irresistible pressure.

"What's going on!" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened, his voice filled with suppressed terror. "Wasn't the summoning circle destroyed? How come it's back again?"

Blue light flickered wildly on Tian's runic spear, and his tone carried an unusual gravity: "The Camarilla's summoning did not rely entirely on the array—they buried the core will of the Ocean and Water King deep within the ruins. Even if the array is destroyed, its resurgence continues!"

"You mean, this guy is still coming?" Caesar raised an eyebrow, his tone light, but his grip on the rune sword tightened. "What a troublesome fellow."

“It’s already breaking the seal.” Chu Zihang’s gaze was cold and stern. The Dragon Cutter trembled slightly in his hand, and the green flames ignited again. “Get ready, this time it’s the real Dragon King.”

The energy surging from the cracks in the ground grew increasingly violent, the runes on the walls bursting one after another, and the blue light distorted space. A colossal figure emerged from the light, an existence entirely formed from deep-sea energy, its body covered in crystal-clear blue scales, its massive dragon wings unfurling like a curtain, its dark pupils as deep as an abyss, radiating boundless pressure.

The king of the ocean and water has descended.
