Lu Mingfei was almost blown away by this force, but he managed to steady himself, unable to contain his fear. That force was simply beyond his ability to resist; his incantations were almost completely ineffective under the Dragon King's pressure.

“We cannot confront it head-on,” Tian said coldly, the light in his golden eyes sharp as a knife. “Its power comes from runes. As long as we destroy its rune core, we can weaken its attack.”

"Word of Power: The Butterfly of Instant Death".

As the heavens whispered, the purplish-blue ghostly butterflies danced in the air once more. They hovered lightly around the Dragon King, searching for its weakness—the line of death hidden within the runes. Though the Dragon King's power was immense, the heavens' eyes had already seen through its true nature. The laws of death apply to every creature, and even dragons cannot escape them.

"We've found its rune core," Tian said in a low voice, raising his twin pistols steadily and aiming at the dark red rune on the Dragon King's chest.

However, just as Tian was about to pull the trigger, the Dragon King suddenly let out a deafening roar, and the entire canyon began to shake violently.

Its enormous black wings suddenly unfurled, unleashing a powerful dragon aura that swept across the area like a raging storm, distorting and warping the entire space under its control. Its power was no longer a simple suppression, but a complete takeover of the surrounding environment. The air thickened, even the wind carried a deadly edge, each breath threatening to drag the four into an abyss of destruction.

"Its domain is expanding!" Chu Zihang quickly made the judgment, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gripped his blade tightly. He could sense that the Dragon King's power was not only suppressing their Word of Power, but also controlling the entire space.

The dragon's domain is one of the greatest threats faced by hybrids in the world of Dragon Raja. Each dragon king possesses the ability to manipulate a domain, a complete interference with the laws of nature. It can distort space, disrupt the operation of incantations, and prevent hybrids from freely unleashing their power. Moreover, the domain is not static but constantly changes according to the dragon king's will, intensifying the enemy's sense of oppression.

Caesar quickly raised his gun and aimed at the rune core on the Dragon King's chest, but the moment he pulled the trigger, the bullet suddenly disappeared into the air, as if swallowed by some invisible force.

"Its domain not only distorts space, but it can also devour our attacks." Caesar frowned, a hint of seriousness in his eyes. Although he had always faced battles with a relaxed attitude, this time he realized that the enemy's strength far exceeded that of the past.

The Dragon King's eyes burned with a scarlet light, its gaze fixed on the sky, as if it realized that he was the real threat.

It suddenly flapped its wings, and a powerful gust of air surged towards the sky with destructive force. It was an overwhelming force, as if the entire domain was directed at Tian alone.

"Heavens, watch out!" Lu Mingfei shouted, his eyes filled with terror. He wanted to do something, but the Dragon King's aura suppressed him so much that he could barely move, and the Word of Power "Nidhogg's Dream" was almost completely ineffective in this area.

However, Tian reacted faster than anyone else.

The moment the Dragon King's attack closed in, his body retreated swiftly like a ghost, deftly dodging the Dragon King's direct assault. The purplish-blue ghost butterflies continued to hover around him; they did not dissipate due to the Dragon King's aura, but instead moved even more resolutely toward the Dragon King's rune core.

"Word of Power: Butterfly of Instant Death cannot be interfered with by any law." Tian's gaze was coldly locked onto the Dragon King's rune core, his golden eyes flashing with an icy light. He raised his twin pistols again, aiming at the shimmering dark red runes on the Dragon King's chest. "I will end all of this."

Just as Tian pulled the trigger, the Dragon King let out another deep roar, and the oppressive feeling in the air instantly intensified, its domain almost swallowing the entire canyon.

"Damn it, it's strengthening its domain!" A flicker of anxiety flashed in Chu Zihang's eyes. Although he had already charged forward, his blade drawing a bright arc in the air, each time he approached the Dragon King's body, the invisible force neutralized his attacks. The domain's power was too immense, rendering almost every attack meaningless.

Caesar quickly retreated, found a high vantage point, and aimed at the Dragon King's head again, but he knew that a frontal attack could not break through the Dragon King's defenses.

“We must break its domain, otherwise we won’t be able to harm it at all!” Caesar said in a low voice, a bead of cold sweat forming on his forehead. This dragon king’s power far surpassed all the enemies they had encountered before. It was not only powerful but also extremely intelligent, knowing how to use the power of its domain for defense and counterattack.

"Its domain won't last forever." Tian's voice remained calm. He could sense that the Dragon King's domain was under immense pressure. Its runic core was the foundation of the domain; as long as that rune core could be destroyed, the domain's power would crumble.

"I will create opportunities for you," Chu Zihang said coldly, his eyes sharp as knives. He gripped the knife tightly, quickly adjusted his breathing, and prepared to launch a frontal charge.

Just then, the Dragon King launched another attack. Its body twisted violently in the air, and the air currents generated by its wings swept in like a whirlwind.

Each of the Dragon King's attacks carried devastating power, as if the entire canyon was under its control. A storm swept in, its immense force shaking the ground, causing rocks to crack and dust to fly everywhere.

"Come on!" Chu Zihang suddenly brandished his blade, the light of the blade drawing a lightning-like arc in the air as his body swiftly rushed towards the Dragon King's chest, aiming directly at the runes.

The Dragon King's giant claw swung down suddenly, its immense power nearly tearing Chu Zihang's body apart. But he didn't flinch; his blade accurately slashed at the Dragon King's claw. The two forces collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar. The shockwave made Lu Mingfei almost lose his footing.

At that moment, Caesar also opened fire, bullets shooting towards the Dragon King's head like meteors. Despite being distorted by the domain, he still accurately aimed at the Dragon King's eyes.

The Dragon King's roar grew increasingly furious, and its body twisted violently, attempting to suppress their attack with an even more powerful domain, but each movement exhausted its strength.

"Heavens, move out!" Chu Zihang shouted, his blade already cleaving through the Dragon King's defenses, heading straight for the core of the runes.

At this critical moment, the heavens pulled the trigger.

The bullets, like sharp blades piercing the air, struck the Dragon King's rune core with deadly precision. At that moment, the ghostly butterflies coalesced into a straight line, carrying the aura of death as they hurtled towards the rune.

"boom--!"

With a massive explosion, the Dragon King's runic core was utterly destroyed. Its domain collapsed instantly, and the oppressive atmosphere vanished without a trace. The colossal Dragon King let out a final, agonizing roar, its massive body trembling violently in the air before crashing to the ground.

"We succeeded." Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily, his face pale.

The Dragon King's body gradually turned to ashes on the ground, and its power completely dissipated after the runes shattered.

A silence hung in the air after the battle, but all four understood that this victory had not truly resolved the issue. The dragons' power was recovering more rapidly than they had anticipated, and the battles to come would be even more brutal.

Upon returning to Kassel College, the four-person team reported their battle results once again.

The academy's professors looked grave. Although the Dragon King had been successfully defeated, fluctuations were now coming from more sealed areas, indicating that a new battle was about to begin.

“You have done very well,” the Dean said, his gaze sweeping across everyone’s faces, “but we are now facing a more severe situation than before. The collapse of the seal is inevitable, and the full resurgence of the dragon race has entered its countdown.”

An invisible pressure filled the air, and everyone realized that the real decisive battle was about to begin.

"Next, we must prepare for the final battle." The dean's voice was deep and authoritative. "This is a battle for the survival of Kassel College."

The battle is far from over; the real war has only just begun.

The four-person team understood that they would shoulder the ultimate mission of fighting against the resurgence of the dragons. Only by completely destroying the dragons' resurgence plan could they save the academy and the world.
