Dragons begin with courage

At a glance, the bronze undead servants emerging from the water were densely packed, almost covering the entire river surface, numbering in the hundreds or thousands! They were silent, without roars, only the sounds of leaping soul fire and billowing steam, merging into a suffocating symphony of death.

But this is only the prelude.

Beneath the river's surface, an even larger and more terrifying shadow slowly rose.

First to emerge from the water was a mountain-like back covered in thick bronze scales. Each scale was as large as a millstone, its surface etched with burning dragon patterns, gleaming with a dark red, molten lava-like sheen in the murky water. Next came a forest of menacing bronze spikes, protruding along the spine like a scathing forest of swords. Finally, a majestic and tyrannical dragon head, the size of a locomotive, burst forth from the water, rising proudly!

Samson, the Dragon Attendant!

Its molten gold vertical pupils, like two small suns, swept across the tiny human fleet on the river, its gaze filled only with the pure indifference and destructive lust of a high-ranking dragon. It opened its massive maw, not roaring, but a visible, distorting wave of intense heat gathered in its throat, instantly causing the surrounding river water to boil and vaporize!

The dynasty is back!

This is by no means an isolated dragon king, but rather a dragon king that has returned to rule the world with its complete and terrifying war machine, and is seeking revenge against the murderer who erased its memories and against humanity!

"hiss--!"

The first bronze-clad dead servant lunged at the assault ship where Caesar was, his twisted halberd whistling as it aimed straight for Caesar's throat! His movements were lightning-fast, far surpassing those of ordinary dead servants!

"Get out of my way!" Caesar roared, his golden eyes burning fiercely. "Dick Tudor" transformed into a silver arc of light, meeting the attack head-on!

clang--!!!

Instead of the crisp clang of metal colliding, a dull, sticky sound erupted, like a strange thud tearing through thick leather! The moment the blade pierced the bronze body, Caesar felt a powerful resistance. It wasn't pure hardness, but rather as if the blade had struck some kind of active, tough, gelatinous metal! The blade cut in a third of the way before being firmly "bitten." Instead of bleeding from the wound, the bronze dead servant gushed out a gurgling, steaming, dark red "oil," attempting to corrode the blade.

The greatest strength of these bronze undead is their hard alchemical bodies. Without the special effects of lust on the soul, each of these bronze undead is as hard as a third-generation species.

With a flick of his wrist, Caesar silently activated the Word of Power: Kamaitachi, precisely capturing the point of energy flow within the opponent's body, and with a twist and a flick of the blade!

"Snap!" The bronze-clad assassin's arm, wielding the halberd, was severed cleanly at the root, sparks and dark red liquid gushing from the cut. But it seemed to feel no pain; its other hand's claws were already reaching for Caesar's heart!

"Troublesome thing!" Caesar dodged to the side and kicked it away, sending it flying into the river. He glanced at the blade of "Dictator," where the dark red "grease" was hissing and corroding the alchemical metal, but was slowly repelled by the alchemical power inherent in the blade.

"Attention! These bronze guardians have alchemical bodies, possessing the self-repairing properties of living metals, and contain active corrosive liquids within them! Do not get any contact with their internal solutions!" Caesar's voice echoed throughout the area via the communicator. "Attack their joints and head soulfire! That's their alchemical core!"

The battle reached a fever pitch in an instant!

"Word of Power: Monarch's Flame!" Chu Zihang's icy voice rang out from another speedboat.

Faced with seven or eight bronze death servants rushing at him simultaneously, he made no fancy moves and directly unleashed a high-risk incantation. A blazing white ring of fire exploded outwards from him, the extreme heat distorting the air! The two death servants at the front were instantly engulfed, their bronze bodies melting and deforming in the royal flames, collapsing like candles, their soul fire flickering fiercely before going out.

But more Deadpools stepped over the remains of their companions and rushed across the edge of the flames. The bronze on their bodies turned dark red under the high temperature, but they did not completely lose their mobility and continued to kill while their bodies were scorching hot!

"President, we can't kill all of these!" Susie's sniper rifle rang out, and a specially made alchemical bullet accurately pierced the eye socket of a Deadpool, shattering its soul fire. The Deadpool immediately stiffened and fell into the river. But her forehead was already covered in sweat, and her sniping rate was far from keeping up with the speed at which the Deadpools surged out.

Lancelot wielded his heavy weapon, hacking and slashing at the bow of the ship with tremendous force, sending the bronze Deadpool flying. "Professor! Samson is attacking!"

All eyes were fixed in horror on the enormous creature in the middle of the river.

The intense heat ripples gathering in Samson's throat had solidified to their fullest extent, and his molten gold pupils locked onto the densest area of ​​the Kassel fleet.

It was none other than the Word Spirit Lord Flame who killed Pacino!

"Scatter! Take cover!" Professor Schneider's roar rang out.

But it was too late.

Samson raised his dragon head slightly, and a breath, more than five meters in diameter, blazing white mixed with dark red flames, was like a flaming spear thrown by a god. It was silent but faster than the speed of sound, and instantly cut through the river surface, shooting towards the fleet!

"Dustless Land!" At the critical moment, on the main ship where Professor Mance Lundstedt was located, several wind-elemental spirit users worked together to create the strongest defense.

boom--!!!

The fiery breath slammed into the invisible air barrier! The extreme heat and shockwave spread wildly in all directions, blasting a huge crater into the river surface, and several speedboats around it were blown away like toys! The "Dustless Land" domain of the main ship fluctuated violently, flickering erratically, and the specialists who supported the domain all spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces as pale as paper.

With just one strike, Kassel's meticulously constructed defenses began to crumble!

"We can't let it keep attacking! We have to restrain it!" Professor Schneider's eyes were bloodshot.

"I'll cover you! Cover me!" A resolute glint flashed in Caesar's eyes, his golden pupils radiating the most intense light. As the student council president, he was duty-bound to avenge Pacino's death. Caesar wanted to avenge him!

Caesar took out a prop that looked like a surfboard from his side. A miniature alchemical core lit up, and the alchemical surfboard popped out a pair of mechanical wings that shimmered with a bluish-black metallic luster and were covered with alchemical runes!

Caesar threw the surfboard onto the river, leaped onto it, and the alchemical surfboard flapped its wings, carrying Caesar across the river like a silver meteor, heading straight for Samson's enormous head!

"Cover Caesar!"

Susie turned her gun around, attempting to provide long-range cover for him, knocking away the bronze undead that were getting close to Caesar. Samson's cold pupils shifted, locking onto this defiant "flying insect." It didn't even use its breath, simply raising a massive claw covered in thick bronze scales, and swung it at Caesar with the force of crushing mountains, as if swatting a fly! Before the claw even arrived, the violent wind pressure had already caused the river's surface to cave in!
