Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"This knife... is for Zero." Lu Mingfei looked at Herzog and said in an extremely weak voice.

As Lu Mingfei spoke, blood could not be restrained from flowing from the corners of his mouth. Not only were there wounds on the surface of his body, but his internal organs were also severely damaged. As soon as his immortal recovery ability came into contact, an exaggerated backlash swept over him. Lu Mingfei's body looked like it had been tortured repeatedly with cruel torture hundreds of times, and it was riddled with holes inside and out.

Herzog was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into an even more earth-shaking laughter, as if what Lu Mingfei said was some kind of big joke, which made Herzog feel so funny that he wanted to roll on his stomach with laughter.

"So it was all about Zero! So it was all about Zero!" Herzog exclaimed in an exaggerated and slurred voice, "How could I not have thought of Zero? I actually forgot about this important character! What a pity, your revenge for Zero was unsuccessful! What a pity! If I had killed Lu Mingfei, would that lingering Zero have died with him?"

Herzog's expression was between sudden realization and mockery. His slurred speech was because his lower jaw and the upper part of his throat were pierced by Butsu Yuhun. Blood flowed uncontrollably from the corners of Herzog's mouth when he spoke, which, combined with his tongue-tied appearance, made him look bloody and funny... But Herzog no longer cared about these things.

Because it is about to win, the victor will not care whether the posture of victory is heroic or embarrassing. History will only remember the name of the victor in a great war, and the image it leaves to future generations will naturally be glorious and majestic.

And Herzog's sarcasm and mockery is precisely because of this, it is the destined winner, Lu Mingfei is just a loser, coming from the loser's mouth to the winner of the words of revenge, isn't it ridiculous? It's simply ridiculous!

Tenmuyun stayed in Lu Mingfei's abdomen. Herzog held the Butu Yuhun that Lu Mingfei had pierced into his jaw with his hand. He exerted force hard and the imitation Butu Yuhun broke.

Lu Mingfei's last weapon was also destroyed. After doing this, Herzog breathed a sigh of relief, because Lu Mingfei's swordsmanship was indeed difficult to deal with, but Lu Mingfei's almost immortal ability was gone, and he could no longer continue his previous crazy production of weapons... Lu Mingfei was now a beast with its claws and fangs pulled out. A trapped beast without its deadly weapon posed no threat at all.

At the same time, Herzog's tail also attacked from behind. Both it and Lu Mingfei's limbs were almost unusable, but it still had one more part than Lu Mingfei... the tail. This was the best evidence that Herzog's evolution was more complete than Lu Mingfei's!

The thick and powerful long tail once again wrapped around Lu Mingfei's neck like a hunting python, and the desperate scene was repeated. This time, Lu Mingfei seemed to have run out of tricks. He could no longer summon an overwhelming group of deadpools to save him, nor did he have any strange abilities that would leave Herzog helpless. Whether it was Lu Mingfei's increasingly dim golden eyes or the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth and abdomen, it showed that he had reached the end of the road, and the victory of this war had almost been locked in by Herzog in advance.

"Revenge me for those ants, is this your belief? Mr. Lu, it seems that your belief is not so indestructible." Herzog looked down at Lu Mingfei with a condescending look, his tone sarcastic and mocking, "I really want those guys you avenged to see what you look like now, like a loser. I wonder if they will feel sorry for you... But their fate is also doomed because of your failure. After I deal with you, I have plenty of time to think about how to kill the rest of them."

Lu Mingfei still did not answer Herzog. He slowly stretched out his right hand... Lu Mingfei's left arm was empty. It was his only arm left. Lu Mingfei's palm was grasping the long tail that Herzog used to tie him up. He looked at Herzog, and the determination in his eyes remained unchanged.

"Lu Jun, are you still trying to struggle?" Herzog felt the strength of Lu Mingfei's hand gripping his tail. "What's the point of such a powerless resistance? It only makes your ending even more tragic."

As he said this, Herzog stared at Lu Mingfei's face. Lu Mingfei remained unmoved by his ridicule throughout the battle. At least in the end, Herzog longed to see a hint of fear or panic on Lu Mingfei's face... But he did not get his wish. Herzog angrily tightened the tail wrapped around Lu Mingfei's neck. Lu Mingfei's face became even weaker and paler, but he never showed the emotion that Herzog longed for, which made Herzog almost furious.

Herzog didn't plan to wait any longer. One of his hands held the Ame Murakami that pierced Lu Mingfei's abdomen. Herzog planned to pull out the Ame Murakami to give the loser a final blow, but it failed. Herzog couldn't pull the Ame Murakami out of Lu Mingfei's abdomen even though he tried hard... In an instant, Herzog understood. No wonder the strength in Lu Mingfei's hand that was holding his tail was so weak, because most of Lu Mingfei's strength was applied to his abdomen.

Lu Mingfei's abdominal muscles contracted tightly, as if to prevent Herzog from pulling out Ame Murakami. However, Herzog concentrated more of his strength on his tail, in order to restrain Lu Mingfei more firmly, so he really couldn't successfully take out Ame Murakami for a while.

But Herzog couldn't understand why Lu Mingfei did this. Was he afraid that Ame-Kurokumo's spleen would bleed profusely after being extracted? Or was he afraid that he would kill him immediately if he retrieved his weapon? But what was the point of delaying for so long? He didn't even show the slightest hint of fear. Was he truly so afraid of death?

The next moment, Herzog was suddenly stunned. He still didn't pull out Tian Kuangyun, but he saw something incredible... Herzog saw Lu Mingfei smile.

Herzog saw it clearly; it wasn't an illusion or a figment of his imagination. Lu Mingfei was genuinely smiling... But Herzog couldn't understand why someone cornered would smile. It wasn't a wry smile, nor was it a fake one. The curve of Lu Mingfei's lips seemed so calm in Herzog's eyes.

Herzog could understand that anyone who was about to be killed would fight to the bitter end...but why would a person who was about to be killed smile calmly?

Lu Mingfei's hand that was holding Herzog's tail suddenly loosened, he opened his mouth and put the wrist into his mouth. Until now, Herzog still couldn't figure out what Lu Mingfei was going to do... But the next moment, Lu Mingfei's action made him terrified!

In Herzog's sight, Lu Mingfei used his teeth to tear open the scales and skin on his wrist, but what was revealed under the bloody flesh was not the white, bony bones!

The bone of Lu Mingfei's hand suddenly turned into an alchemical sword. The appearance of this sword was too familiar, because Lu Mingfei had fought with Herzog for a long time with this sword. It was broken countless times and was quickly refined and restored by Lu Mingfei countless times... The famous sword that was said to have killed the Yamata no Orochi, Tian Yu Yu Zhan!

When Herzog saw this scene, he understood everything. No wonder Lu Mingfei's force in grabbing his tail was so weak. It was not because he concentrated all his strength in his abdomen, but because the bones of this arm had long been refined into Tianyu Yuzhan, just before Lu Mingfei's strange ability was lifted!

From the very beginning, this young man had actually calculated this step from the very beginning. How deep a mind does this require! How much courage does it take to refine his own bones into weapons while they are still in his body!

Herzog couldn't imagine it, and he couldn't imagine how Lu Mingfei, who had lost both arms, would use this last weapon. All this happened in a flash, and Herzog couldn't react at all.

Lu Mingfei's next action perfectly answered Herzog's doubts. He bit his wrist bone tightly and used his mouth to pull out the famous sword hidden in his arm.

The knife flashed swiftly, and Herzog's long tail that was wrapped around Lu Mingfei was cut cleanly.

He didn't care about the pain at all. An unprecedented aura of death enveloped Herzog. He had no time to look at the wound on his tail, and he couldn't see the knife flash of Lu Mingfei at all. He could only see Lu Mingfei's eyes.

Herzog has met all kinds of people in his long life, but he has never seen such eyes, so resolute, so indifferent... and so murderous!

The blade pierced Herzog's heart.

Chapter 734 The End

Unlike the crisis of having half of his heart shattered, this time Herzog could clearly feel that the blade of Tianyu Yuzhan had completely pierced through his entire heart.

The heart in my chest, which was once hot and beating vigorously, is becoming silent and cooling down at a rapid speed.

Herzog could feel the vitality rapidly draining from his body. It was completely different from the time when he was ambushed by Major Bondarev twenty-one years ago. Herzog was endowed with a strong bloodline, so his perception was particularly sharp... This process of feeling his own slow death was long and painful, like a person watching himself slide into the abyss of despair, unable to stop his fall no matter how he struggled, unable to reach the dim light above his head with his hands, and could only helplessly watch his original world drifting farther and farther away.

Herzog still maintained a terrified expression. He looked at Lu Mingfei and opened his mouth, but could not say anything immediately because the blood gushing from the heart artery blocked his throat. Herzog coughed violently like a dying old man, and thick and sticky blood along with fragments of internal organs vomited out of his mouth in big gulps.

“Don’t… kill me…” Herzog looked at Lu Mingfei with a look between fear, hatred, and pleading. He vomited blood and spoke incoherently, “I give you everything I have… Save me… your ability… save me…”

The heart structure was severely damaged by the powerful alchemical weapon, which was an absolutely fatal injury for dragons. Herzog was beyond help and would soon die. He could only barely utter a few unclear words... But Herzog still insisted on opening his mouth and speaking with his throat filled with blood and internal organ fragments, trying his best to make Lu Mingfei hear his words clearly.

This is the most instinctive desire for survival of living things. When you truly feel the approach of death, dignity and ambition are all bullshit. Even when facing an enemy who wants to kill you, you can still beg for mercy desperately... This is the fear brought by death. It is like a devil that cannot be communicated with but cannot be rejected. The moment it arrives, it will take away everything you have in this world.

Herzog wanted Lu Mingfei to use his strange ability to turn his body into black silk threads to save it. At this moment, its confused brain had completely lost the concept of position and shame. This scientist who had devoted his entire life to genetic research and calculated countless people no longer cared about his once great ambitions and aspirations. There was only one humble thought in his mind... to survive.

But Lu Mingfei's strange ability to transform his body into black threads has disappeared. Even if this ability is still there, he can't use it on Herzog, let alone use this ability to save Herzog... How can the Avengers use their own abilities to save the enemies they have killed with great difficulty?

But Lu Mingfei did not utter any mocking or sarcastic words to Herzog, who was at the end of his life, because there was no point in doing so. He just raised his eyelids and took a last look at Herzog's face, which was distorted by fear and despair and looked more like a devil than a human.

Lu Mingfei used up his last bit of strength and twisted the blade of Tianyu Yuzhan with his mouth. High in the sky, except for the sound of the cold wind blowing, the surroundings were extremely silent. The sound of the blade tearing the heart was particularly clear in the night sky, as if the devil in the depths of hell was grinding its teeth fiercely.

Herzog opened his mouth wide, and scarlet blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spit out from his mouth in clumps. His throat moved slowly but continuously, as if he wanted to swallow the blood and internal organs back into his body, as if this could save his rapidly fading vitality... Herzog's desire to survive was extremely strong, but it was of no avail. His heart and the arteries and veins connecting to his heart were completely crushed by the alchemical sword Tianyu Yuzhan. Such an injury would be absolutely fatal to any dragon king, not to mention that Herzog's new dragon body had not yet fully developed.

Herzog's golden eyes dimmed at the speed of turning off a light. The deepest emotions in his eyes and the expression on his face were frozen in deep disbelief. It seemed that before this moment, Herzog had never imagined that there would be such a day. The great Jung von Herzog did not become the new king of the world in the end. In the end, he just turned into a handful of dry bones closest to the throne... One step away, just one step away. Major wars in history seem to always repeat similar plots. This short step is an insurmountable punishment from heaven, which contains so many ambitions, ambitions and unwillingness of the heroes.

Such an ending is too sad and cruel for Herzog. Instead of falling in this last desperate step, it would be better to let its life end in Black Swan Harbor twenty years and one year ago. At least it would not have received such great hope and would not have faced such heavy despair.

Lu Mingfei pulled the Tianyu Yuzhan out of Herzog's chest with his mouth and then spat it out. The alchemical sword stained with the blood of the White King Dragon fell from a height of 20,000 meters to the endless sea of ​​clouds below. Lu Mingfei put his face close to Herzog, and at the moment before Herzog's life completely ended, Lu Mingfei leaned close to Herzog's ear and whispered the last words.

"This knife... is for Sakura." Lu Mingfei's voice was extremely weak, yet extremely firm.

This was Lu Mingfei's last knife. This knife completely ended Herzog's life. This last knife was for Sakura... the cowardly and useless child in the dream, the once sad... self.

The wretch who was forced to travel all over Japan with Eri only to be favored by the gangster princess, the wimp who, at the last moment, hid in the Takamagahara wine cellar, drinking alone and missing the chance to save the girl...was he hateful? Of course, but at the same time, Lu Mingfei also felt so sorry for him.

How could a coward with no romantic experience dare to look directly into the expectant eyes of a princess-like girl? How could a loser who could barely hold his own against ordinary people shoulder the enormous responsibility of slaying the Dragon King and saving the world?

For a boy who has always been happy with a night of internet access and a bottle of Nutri-Express, something as big as the world... can simply crush him.

As Herzog's golden eyes completely dimmed, the life of the new White King finally came to an end. Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, and at the same time, he finally bid farewell to the five years of hard work and self-cultivation. In his heart, he finally... reached an understanding and said goodbye to that useless loser.

Herzog's life force was completely cut off. At the same time, Lu Mingfei's physical strength also reached its limit. His red-gold pupils gradually dimmed. This was a sign that the effect of the dragon blood was fading. The dragon's power was rapidly draining from his body.

Losing the ability of a dragon means losing the power to float. The scales, bone spurs and membrane wings quickly disappeared from Lu Mingfei's body. Lu Mingfei was exhausted. He was pulled by gravity and fell uncontrollably from a height of 20,000 meters above sea level to the sea below.

"Lu Mingze..."

With almost all the strength squeezed out of his soul, Lu Mingfei called out Lu Mingze's name hoarsely and weakly as he fell.

"Got it, brother." A voice in the void actually responded to Lu Mingfei. "Do you think I'm having an easy time? I'm almost dead tired, and this is almost my limit... But how dare I forget what you told me, brother? I've been saving up my last bit of strength, but it's only this time, so I have to remind you, brother. I'll help you finish this thing, and I won't be able to control you later."

"Um……"

Lu Mingfei almost squeezed out the word from his throat. He was extremely weak. Falling rapidly at high altitude with thin oxygen and cold weather made his brain confused and dazed. He almost fainted.

"I really can't do anything about you, brother. You can't even take care of yourself, and you're still thinking about others." Lu Mingze sighed, his nagging tone revealing helplessness. "I understand, I understand. One is your senior brother, and the other is the girl you like. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't fight to this extent. Brother, you're being a hero in front of your friends and the girl, but have you ever thought about me? It's me who's been working diligently and tirelessly for you, isn't it? It seems I was born to be a hard-working person. Who made me have a brother like you? But considering that you've been so generous in offering half of your life to me in trade, and that you didn't forget to chop that old bastard Herzog to help me get revenge, I'll take a little loss and be a good person to the end."

Lu Mingze's figure appeared in front of Lu Mingfei. This time was different from before. In the past, when Lu Mingze appeared, the whole world would return to a strange state as if time had stopped, as if God had pressed the pause button. But this time, when Lu Mingze appeared, nothing changed. Lu Mingfei and Herzog were still falling. Having lost the protection of the dragon's power, the extremely cold temperature at high altitude had even caused their body surfaces to begin to freeze.

Lu Mingze glanced at Lu Mingfei, who was covered in bruises. His golden eyes were dimmer than ever before, and his pale and delicate face was full of fatigue. What Lu Mingfei didn't know was that when Lu Mingze saw his bruised body, a trace of imperceptible heartache and anger flashed in the boy's eyes, but in the end Lu Mingze slowly turned his head and calmly looked at Herzog, who had lost all signs of life.

"Doctor, your ambition has been realized. You haven't failed." Lu Mingze changed his usual playful demeanor and spoke seriously for the first time. "It's just that as a human being, your vision is too shallow... The ultimate meaning of this world is far more profound than you imagine."

Lu Mingze was explaining to the dead Herzog. Perhaps it was pointless to talk nonsense to a dead person who could neither speak nor respond, so Lu Mingze suddenly fell silent. He waved at the dead Herzog, who was held in his hand... A half-human, half-dragon monster over two meters long was being held in the hands of a boy who looked like a teenager like a chicken. The picture was so incongruous no matter how you looked at it.

At the same time, Lu Mingze's golden pupils dimmed to the extreme.

"I won't be able to take care of you from now on, brother. Leave it to those guys." Lu Mingze turned his head and gave Lu Mingfei a last look. "It's time for me to rest too."

After saying that, Lu Mingze and Herzog disappeared while falling from the sky, as if God had erased them from this world with an eraser, as if they had never existed.

Lu Mingfei landed alone, his body smashing through the clouds. Fortunately, it was a soft sea of ​​clouds formed by water vapor, not a real sea. Otherwise, under the influence of gravity acceleration, the huge kinetic energy would be enough to smash his already broken body into pieces.

But the situation was still critical. According to the falling speed, Lu Mingfei would soon fall into the sea. Even the strong physique of dragons could not withstand such a high-altitude free fall. Lu Mingfei, who was completely unprepared, would surely die once he fell into the sea.

Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard in the clouds, and a black fighter jet emerged from the clouds like a big black bird. It caught up with the falling Lu Mingfei at supersonic speed.

The fighter jet suddenly sprinted and dived diagonally below Lu Mingfei's body, then quickly raised its nose and passed under Lu Mingfei at a speed slightly lower than Lu Mingfei. When the black fighter jet just passed under Lu Mingfei's body, the speed difference between it and Lu Mingfei was maintained at an extremely small number. This required extremely skilled driving skills. In the fighter jet formations of various countries, even the ace pilots with twenty years of experience could not guarantee that they could achieve this level of skill.

And the next moment, the black fighter made an even bolder move. It completely opened the cargo hold door at high altitude... At such an altitude and such a speed, the turbulence at high altitude would destroy the balance of the fighter if it was not careful. The final outcome would undoubtedly be the destruction of the plane and the death of people. However, the technicians of this fighter took the phrase "skillful and daring" to the extreme. They performed these acrobatic moves while keeping the trajectory of the plane extremely stable. It was really amazing.

Because the pilot of this fighter jet is Mai Jude, risking her life is her job and her daily routine. What others think is so awesome that it can even be applied for a Guinness World Record is just a common occurrence for her.

A black rope flew out from the cargo hold door of the fighter jet and was looped around Lu Mingfei like a cowboy roping a bull. One end of the rope exerted force and Lu Mingfei was pulled into the cabin, but he did not feel much impact... This is why Jiude Mai maintained the plane at a speed almost equal to Lu Mingfei's falling speed. When two moving objects move in the same direction at the same speed, their states are relatively stationary.

The moment Lu Mingfei was brought back, Jiude Mai suddenly waxed the nose of the plane, and the fighter plane, which was about to approach the sea surface, returned to the sky again in a nearly vertical posture.

"What a crazy war." said Jude Mai.

Chapter 735 Another Ending

Jude Mai did not see the details of this war, but her ninja intuition told her that the course of this war must be crazy.

Jiude Mai took away Lao Tang and Xia Mi not long ago. Both Dragon Kings were wounded and dying. Looking at Lu Mingfei's current condition, you can know how difficult and tragic the battle with Herzog was... The war involved four Dragon Kings, and the scale of the war was simply shocking and unprecedented. Jiude Mai could only find the word "crazy" to describe it after exhausting his vocabulary.

However, the boy in the cabin did not respond to Jude Mai's sigh. It was not known whether he was too tired to speak or he was in no mood to discuss the war with Jude Mai... He just dragged his bruised body, supported his eyelids that felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, and looked out the porthole quietly.

As this great war came to an end, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the moonlight shone through the thin clouds onto the sea, shining as clear as mercury.

The sea is calm, as if terrible disasters such as tsunamis, storms and volcanic eruptions have never happened. The doomsday scenes and unknown creatures ravaging the town are just people's fictitious fantasies or a long nightmare. As long as the nightmare wakes up, there is no need to panic, worrying that they or their loved ones will be wiped out from this world by unknown forces in the next moment.

"When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog..." The boy looked at the calm sea and whispered in a hoarse voice.

"Stop, stop." Jiude Mai interrupted the boy's recitation, "You're not the boss, so there's no need to act so profound in front of me. Only a psychopath likes to recite poetry in front of others."

The boy stopped reciting, but contrary to his usual behavior, he did not respond to Jude Mai nor say anything bad, but just looked out the window quietly... Jude Mai's flying altitude was neither very high nor very low. From their position, they could already see Tokyo and the surrounding counties. At this moment, the power along the coast had not been fully restored. The edge of the city seemed to be immersed in darkness, blending into the black sea, and it was impossible to distinguish the boundary between land and sea.

"Honestly, you look tired. Why don't you take a break?" Jude Mai suggested to the boy by the window. "I know what it's like to be exhausted after a big battle. Even after the battle is over, your nerves are still tense for a long time. But you've reached your limit in every aspect. If you keep pushing on, you might just end up breaking down."

The boy slowly shook his head, his eyes still fixed on Tokyo in the distance. Jude Mai turned her head to look at the boy, and she was suddenly stunned... because at this moment Jude Mai saw clearly the expression on the boy's face.

It was an indescribable expression, neither sorrow nor happiness could be seen on that face. Human emotions seemed to not exist at all. Even the world's most advanced psychologists or mind readers could not tell what was going on in the boy's mind... As a ninja, Shude Mai was trained to keep a blank expression on her face, but that kind of rigid concealment was completely different from this natural state.

Jude Mai had seen such an expression on her boss's face before. The psychopath would occasionally show a similar look when he was not acting crazy, as if a person had lived for thousands of years, and no joy or pain could shake his heart that was as hard as a rock washed by the long years... No human can live for thousands of years, but if she had to find a word from human writing to describe it, Jude Mai could only think of... loneliness.

Jiude Mai was a little dazed. For a moment, she couldn't really tell whether the boy sitting behind her by the window was the boss or Lu Mingfei. They were clearly two completely different guys, but at this moment, Jiude Mai felt for the first time that they were really similar in some aspects. When they went crazy, they wanted to burn through the world, but when they were quiet, they seemed so lonely, as if the whole world was something very far away from them.

"Are you really Lu Mingfei?" Jiude Mai asked tentatively, "Or..."

Jiude Mai didn't ask the rest of the questions, because although Lu Mingfei looked very similar to the boss, she could tell at a glance that the boy in front of her was Lu Mingfei. The boss had explained everything to Jiude Mai from the beginning... After the war with Herzog, he would disappear for a while and would not be able to take care of other things. The boss said that Lu Mingfei would win in the end, but the outcome of the war would inevitably be tragic. Jiude Mai needed to take the seriously injured Lu Mingfei to receive treatment as soon as possible.

Although the boss often gets sick, that man would never joke about such things. He is very serious about all questions related to Lu Mingfei... Jiude Mai thinks that maybe they have overlooked it. Maybe the boss and Lu Mingfei are indeed very similar in some aspects. Maybe they are the same kind of people after all. No one will expose their true nature in front of others, no matter who is closest to them. The usual laughter and neurosis are just masks they wear on their faces.

"We're almost in Tokyo." The boy pointed below them and saw dark shadows moving on the small island of Sea Forest Park.

It wasn't the resurrected group of corpse guards, but the members of the Eight Clans of Sheqi. They rushed here as quickly as possible and were trying their best to clear out the remaining fragments of the corpse guards' remains surrounding the island... The secrets of the dragons had not yet been revealed to human society. Even though too many things had happened tonight that were too mysterious and bizarre for ordinary people, the iron-clad Zheng Bureau of the corpse guards' remains must not be exposed to the world.

It is impossible for the Eight Clans of Sheqi to say that this was a group of mermaids in the deep sea who were driven to the surface of the sea and the land because of an underwater volcanic eruption. There are no such ugly mermaids in the world. No one would believe it. This far-fetched reason sounds even more ridiculous than the existence of dragons in this world.

Although the Sheqi Eight Clan were badly hurt after the disaster, the damaged parts had not been rebuilt yet, and the family members who lost their lives had not been buried yet, but they had to stand up at this time. The ordinary residents of Japan were more seriously injured. In times of crisis, dealing with external social troubles is more important than solving problems within the family. As the largest mixed-blood association in Japan, the Sheqi Eight Clan did not hesitate.

"We won't go through the Tokyo Meteorological Bureau, but go directly to the military area west of Tokyo. It's more secluded there, and I've already arranged a private ward." Jiude Mai said to the boy, "Old Tang and Xia Mi have been settled in. They are receiving treatment and are not in danger of death. Sanwu will bring Chu Zihang and the others here later."

"Wait a moment," the boy said suddenly. "If you're not in a hurry, please take me flying over Tokyo so I can take another look at the city."

Jiude Mai was stunned for a moment. At this moment, she was finally sure that the boy was Lu Mingfei and not the boss. Although he had a similar temperament to the boss, and his expression was so solemn when he was quiet, and he was intimidating even without saying a word, the boss's tone when talking to them was always one of instruction or command. This kind of gentle tone with a hint of request could undoubtedly only come from Lu Mingfei.

But Jiude Mai still answered respectfully: "Yes."

At this moment, they happened to have arrived at the port of Tokyo Bay. According to Lu Mingfei's words, Jude Mai flew a fighter plane in a huge arc over Tokyo. Along the port area that had almost become a ruin, the trajectory of Jude Mai's fighter plane was exactly close to the edge of Tokyo. Part of the city's dividing line was submerged by sea water, part of it had dark cracks due to the earthquake, and part of it was covered by volcanic ash emitted by the volcanic eruption. Tokyo was like a huge collection of disasters. The night was too dark, as if the whole Tokyo was covered in a huge curtain of deathly silence.

From her fighter jet, Mai Jude surveyed the once-thriving, now-dilapidated streets and buildings. She silently calculated the cost of repairing the streets and tall buildings... In the end, Mai Jude simply gave up. She wasn't a math freak like Potato Chip Girl, gifted with the power of "natural selection." The final figure was bound to be astronomical. This prosperous city, once considered a giant economy internationally, might be set back a decade overnight... And not just the economy, but also the population, industry, and international reputation...

But for Tokyo, the greatest pain must be the indelible nightmarish memory that remains in the hearts of Tokyo citizens tonight.

Mai Jude drove very fast. In just a few dozen minutes, the fighter plane cruised around the huge Tokyo in a full circle, like a giant black bird soaring in the sky, patrolling its destroyed territory.

For dozens of minutes, neither Jude Mai nor Lu Mingfei spoke a word. The atmosphere in the cabin was extremely silent. When the fighter jet returned to Tokyo Port again, Jude Mai was about to ask Lu Mingfei if she could go for treatment. At this moment, a dazzling light flashed across her eyes.

Jiude Mai squinted her eyes and looked in the direction of the light. It turned out to be the sunrise.

The light shining on Jude Mai's face was emitted by the sun. The sun emerged from the end of the sea level, and the dazzling sunlight cut through the last darkness before dawn. At this moment, the dark clouds above the sea had completely dissipated. With the shining of the sky, the sea that seemed dark and bleak at night now looked clear and blue.

The citizens of Tokyo had no way of knowing the scale of the war that took place last night, nor did anyone know that the one who saved Japan was a young boy of only twenty years old. He killed the new White King named Herzog and completed the world's greatest, most difficult and most incredible dragon-slaying feat... This legend was destined to become a secret that no one knew, just like the fact that dragons, creatures completely different from humans, have always lived in this world throughout this long era.

The warm sunshine dispelled the huge darkness that had shrouded Japan for twenty-one years... Jude Mai felt that the sunshine this morning seemed particularly dazzling. She looked down at the sky with a sincere heart, her eyes flickering slightly.

Unlike the desperate and silent ruined city in the dark night, Jude Mai saw people working hard to clear the water and building debris from the streets. Some people rescued children from the collapsed roofs, and some people picked up the elderly from the flooded walls. Tokyo's power supply system was restored on a large scale, and the lists of missing and rescued people were scrolling on the undamaged electronic screens, and the number of the latter was constantly jumping and rising.

The fighter jet's radio suddenly broadcast the news that the disaster was over. The news was announced by the Tokyo Meteorological Bureau in the name of the Tokyo Governor. The news was also sent to the SMS mailboxes of every Tokyo citizen and tourist in the form of a text message.

Cheers were heard from below. Some people found their lost relatives, and some walked out of the trapped buildings... The long night and disaster were finally over, and people hugged each other in the ruined city, crying with joy.

Losing something is sad and regrettable, which is why what we have seems so precious.

Jiude Mai turned her head and was about to say something, but suddenly stopped because she found that Lu Mingfei had fallen asleep.

Lu Mingfei leaned against the glass on the side where the sunlight came in. His expression was peaceful and calm, and he seemed to have a faint smile on his face while sleeping.
