It slowly raised its head, its gaze sweeping over the four people in the room. Its roar shook the entire ruins, and the powerful sound waves brought with them a gust of wind, scattering the rubble on the ground like sharp blades. The four people were simultaneously forced back several steps, their hearts pounding wildly under the pressure of the Dragon King's will.

"It's only in its early stages of existence; its power hasn't fully manifested yet," Tian quickly analyzed. "But its will is already strong enough; we must stop its full revival immediately!"

“Truly worthy of being one of the four great monarchs.” Caesar licked his lips, a hint of excitement in his smile. “Finally, I’ve met a worthy opponent.”

"A decent one?!" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened. "This is a dragon! Can we win if we really fight it?"

Chu Zihang gripped the Dragon Cutter tightly and said coldly, "We must win."

The giant claw of the King of Ocean and Water swung down fiercely, carrying a powerful surge of water that hurtled towards the four of them. Chu Zihang reacted instantly, his Dragon Slash unleashing a blazing arc of cyan light to meet the oncoming water. The two forces collided, unleashing a deafening roar.

"Attack its head!" Tian commanded swiftly. "The strongest part of the Dragon King's will is concentrated there!"

Caesar had already leaped into the air, his runic sword, crackling with blue lightning, aimed straight for the Dragon King's eyes. His movements were swift and precise; the blade drew sparks across the dragon's scales, but caused no real damage. The Dragon King roared, his wings flapping violently, creating a powerful storm that repelled Caesar.

Lu Mingfei moved swiftly across the ground, his short sword flashing blue as he searched for weaknesses in the Dragon King's defenses. He cursed under his breath, "This guy is covered in armor from head to toe, how are we supposed to break through?"

"Don't look for excuses, look for opportunities!" After landing, Caesar steadied himself and leaped up again to attack the Dragon King.

Chu Zihang faced the Dragon King's sharp edge head-on, the flames on his Dragon Cutter burning even more intensely. His gaze locked onto the Dragon King's head, the blade aimed directly at its throat. The Dragon King seemed to sense the threat, its massive tail sweeping out suddenly, forcing Chu Zihang's attack back.

"Its defenses are almost impenetrable!" Tian continued his analysis, "but its energy core remains unstable; a combined attack is necessary to break the balance!"

Chu Zihang steadied himself and said in a deep voice, "Caesar, attract its attention. Mingfei, follow Tian to find the core location."

Caesar laughed: "Leave it to me! Little lizard, look here!"

He brandished his rune sword, constantly provoking the Dragon King and drawing its attacks. The Dragon King's attention was indeed diverted, and its giant claws and wings repeatedly lunged at Caesar. Chu Zihang seized the opportunity, once again wielding the Dragon Cutter, directly attacking the Dragon King's flank.

At the same time, Tian quickly adjusted the rune gun, and the blue beam swept across the Dragon King's body, finally locking onto a scale below its chest: "The core energy is there! Lu Mingfei, get closer and attack!"

"This is going to kill me!" Lu Mingfei shouted, but he still gripped his short knife tightly and charged forward, aiming at the core area.

"Don't let it notice Mingfei!" Chu Zihang roared. The blade collided with the Dragon King's tail, and the strong vibration made his arm go numb, but he still steadied himself.

Caesar laughed and continued to taunt, "You giant sea cucumber, focus on dealing with me!"

Under their cover, Lu Mingfei finally approached the core. He took a deep breath, suppressing all his fear, and the light on his short sword suddenly burst forth, piercing the Dragon King's energy core with unparalleled precision.

As the dagger pierced through, the Dragon King's body shuddered violently, and a deep blue light exploded within it. It let out a deafening roar, and the entire ruins began to tremble violently, the runes shattering as if the entire space itself was about to be torn apart.

"Success!" Tian shouted. "The core has been damaged, and its power is weakening!"

However, the Dragon King did not stop there. A more intense rage ignited in its eyes, and its roar was filled with boundless killing intent. Its power continued to be unleashed, plunging the entire room into chaos.

"It's not over yet!" Chu Zihang gripped the Dragon Cutter tightly, his gaze cold and resolute. "Prepare for the final battle!"

The Dragon King's roar shook the entire ruins. The power of the Ocean and Water King became even more violent as the core was damaged. Deep blue energy raged through the air like a burst dam. The cracks in the rune walls widened, and the entire ruins teetered on the brink of collapse.

"It's out of control!" Tian's voice held a rare hint of tension. "Although the core is damaged, the remaining power is being released uncontrollably. If it's not completely stopped, this power will destroy everything!"

Caesar, panting heavily, dodged yet another sweeping attack from the dragon's claws and joked, "This time we've really gotten ourselves into big trouble. Mingfei, are you ready to be the savior?"

"Savior? What a joke!" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened. The short sword in his hand had been shattered in the previous battle, with only a faint runic light barely holding it up. "I can't even save myself!"

"Do you still have a choice?" Chu Zihang said coldly, the flames of the Dragon Cutter burning even more fiercely, his gaze fixed on the core of the Dragon King, "Its power is currently in a state of being without a master - only by using another will to control it can it be truly ended."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with shock: "You mean... you want me to take its power?!"

Tian quickly analyzed the rune fluctuations on the screen and calmly said, "Yes. The Dragon King's power is becoming unbalanced, and its core is in an open state. Your contract with Lu Mingze grants you special resistance—you can withstand its erosion."

Lu Mingfei's heart pounded like a drum. He looked at the Dragon King, which was constantly releasing terrifying power, and felt the overwhelming pressure. His legs were trembling slightly: "Are you guys crazy? You want me to get close to it? What if I get swallowed up by its power?"

Caesar laughed and swung his sword to block the dragon king's water attack: "At least you tried, unlike us who could only take it head-on!"

"Mingfei, go." Chu Zihang's voice was cold and firm, yet carried an undeniable determination. "This is the only way."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, his palms sweating profusely. He muttered a curse under his breath, "Lu Mingze, you better be effective now!"

He gritted his teeth and charged towards the core of the Dragon King. It was a deep blue light, surging continuously as the core shattered, carrying unstable, twisted energy. Lu Mingfei could feel whispers from the depths, as if some being from the abyss of the ocean was trying to erode his mind.

"Give up, mortal..." The Dragon King's voice echoed in his ears, deep and majestic, "You cannot withstand my power..."

"Go to hell!" Lu Mingfei roared, reaching out to grab the core energy. The blazing blue light instantly spread throughout his body. His body trembled violently, as if countless blades were cutting into him, but at the same time, an indescribable power surged into his limbs and bones.

The blue light intertwined with Lu Mingfei's aura, instantly turning his eyes a deep blue, his pupils shimmering with a profound light like the deep sea. He felt a surging power, as if he had merged with the entire ocean, able to summon the tides and control the currents.

“This… is the power of the Dragon King…” Lu Mingfei murmured, his voice trembling with disbelief.

"Don't just stand there!" Caesar shouted, "Use this power now and take it down!"

Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at the giant dragon before him. The once invincible dragon king was now writhing in agony due to the loss of control over its power, its massive body struggling within the ruins. He raised his hand, and blue runic light condensed in his palm, transforming into a spear composed of water and energy.

"Let's end this!" Lu Mingfei shouted, throwing his spear like lightning straight at the Dragon King's core!

The blue light instantly pierced through the Dragon King's body, and it let out a deafening roar. The deep blue energy receded like a tide. The Dragon King's massive body gradually disintegrated, turning into countless tiny specks of light that scattered into the air.

As the last ray of light faded, the entire ruins fell into a brief silence. Lu Mingfei knelt on the ground, his body drenched in sweat. His eyes gradually returned to normal, but the deep-sea aura still lingered in his body.

Caesar stepped forward, reached out and helped him up, and said with a smile, "Not bad, Mingfei. You did a great job as a savior for the first time."

Lu Mingfei smiled weakly: "Next time, I'll give you this opportunity."

Chu Zihang withdrew the Dragon Cutter and looked at Lu Mingfei with a complicated expression: "The Secret Society's operation has been thwarted, but the Dragon King's power has become a part of you. Next, you must learn to control it."

"Control it?" Lu Mingfei shook his head with a wry smile. "To be honest, I can't even stand up straight right now."

Tian sheathed his rune gun and calmly said, "Regardless, this battle is over. But the threat from the Camarilla has not been completely eliminated. We must return to the academy immediately to gather intelligence."

The four exchanged a glance. Despite their exhaustion, each of them held a resolute glint in their eyes. Their battle was far from over.
