As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

The leader of the [Evil Dragon Society] was seen covering his injured dragon claw with a look of fear on his face.

Roy's body was covered in frost, but he had no further injuries. He calmly shook off the blood on the Dragon Tooth Sword.

The loud shouts led by the griffins rang out again.

A group of flying dragons circled anxiously in the air, but due to the terrifying sword light, they didn't even dare to come down to help for a while - the griffin knights who were also circling in the sky would not give them a chance.

"You, what did you do?"

"Like you said, the dragon's power is indeed very strong."

"However, I may be a little more proficient than you." Roy swung the sword in his hand and wiped away the frost on his body.

[Iron Bones] can rival dragon scales, but may not be able to block sharp enough dragon claws unless a layer of [Evil Dragon Blood Armor] is added.

Of course, if it were any other dragon power, even double-layer defense wouldn't be enough.

But who told this guy to use ice?

With [Avoid Cold] on him, Roy was not afraid of any ice-related supernatural powers unless his bloodline level was suppressed, or he had a top-level icy bloodline like [Ice Soul]!

Claudy, who failed to turn the situation around as he wished, became anxious at this moment.

As time went on, more and more knights came to support the kingdom.

And Claudy finally discovered that the men he sent seemed unable to deal with Charlotte so quickly, and instead fell into a fierce battle.

"I know you stole the power of the noble dragon race, but when will you be able to defend yourself against the cold..."

"Well! It's nothing more than a dirty trick of using the blood of the false king!" Claudy was filled with resentment, and the dragon carp on his face began to squirm, as if the hatred had turned into substance.

"But this imposter is ultimately no match for the power of a true dragon!"

"I'll let you witness the perfect form we possess after receiving the Holy Gift!"

The next moment, all the arrogance was gathered and condensed into a point, compressed into Claudy's body.

"Tsk!"

Roy's expression darkened, and he attacked for the first time in this battle, slashing with his sword.

However, the dragon tooth blade that should have been indestructible was frozen by the cold the moment it fell, and broke when it hit the layers of silver-blue dragon scales on Claudy's body.

Claudy's voice became hoarse, and the corners of his mouth finally curled up in a way that a human shouldn't have.

"Witness the dragon's might, mortal."

Chapter 43: Silver Dragon Broken Wings

【Dragonization】

Relying on filthy dragon blood to transform the body in one breath is no longer a simple extraordinary ability, but a manifestation of pollution that is completely beyond the scope of human beings.

For the Kingdom, which had fought against the Evil Dragon Society many times, this move was actually not unfamiliar.

After [Dragonization], the cultists will become even more insane, and their combat power will double.

The best countermeasure is actually to take action first and prevent the opponent from transforming into a dragon.

However, Roy took action but failed to succeed. Facing such a powerful enemy at this moment, it was the worst possible situation.

Especially since this [Dragon Transformation]'s opponent was none other than the beast of the [Evil Dragon Society], who had single-handedly defeated a Sequence 5 of the Gale Knights!

A silver-blue two-legged dragon stood proudly on the fortress, frost and snow fell like silver light, and even the broken moonlight was tinged with a hint of coldness.

The golden-winged griffin cried anxiously, and even Vanilla and the members of the Lionheart faction led by Chocolate couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Qiao Ke rarely showed any fear and hid behind his sister: "Meow, meow...should we go up and help, meow?"

Although Vanilla was strong and calm, she was actually shivering in the cold wind. "Don't be silly. If we go up, we will only hinder the young master."

"Even the Oath Knight is in danger now, isn't he?"

"Then what are you still standing there for? Go call the prince!"

The appearance of the silver-gray ice dragon boosted the morale of the cultists. The roaring dragon danced wildly in the night sky, fighting desperately with the griffin knight.

Looking at the creature above him that no longer had a human form, Roy couldn't help but sigh, "Your dragon transformation is different from theirs."

"This is almost the same as a pure-blooded dragon."

Claude smiled coldly, "It's too late to be afraid now!"

"Die under the dragon's might, mortal!"

The leader of the [Evil Dragon Society] was by no means arrogant. The pressure from the dragon's blood brought the instinctive sense of existence of a superior creature, enough to turn into substantial frost and snow, causing the griffins and soldiers under the night sky to break out in cold sweats and freeze in their tracks.

Until the black-haired boy took a step towards the wind and snow.

Like the roar of thunder.

The golden undercurrent stained one of the boy's eyes with a different color.

The violent and flamboyant extraordinary aura flowed endlessly, instantly dispersing the silver dragon's frosty wind, allowing the griffins and knights to regain their freedom and igniting their morale.

Feeling the same power, Claude, who had already transformed into a dragon, could not help but show astonishment: "This, this is impossible!"

You have to know that in order to purify the dragon blood in his body to such a level, he devoured countless mortals, extraordinary people, and even fellow sect members, and suffered the bone-gnawing and heart-burning pain of flesh and blood reorganization for countless days and nights.

But why was the other party able to master the same power as him without paying any price?!

"Want to compare?"

Roy smiled slightly, and his golden pupils were straightened into a line, like thunder streaking through the night sky.

"Whose dragon power is stronger, you or me?"

"Don't get carried away, you dirty fake!!"

In anger, the dragon fell.

The dragon's claws stirred up an ice waterfall, sweeping away everything in front.

Roy's figure fell behind Claudy with the thrown sword. Seeing the dragon's tail sweeping towards him, he slid to avoid it and moved closer to Claudy.

"Idiot, that previous attack wasn't even my full strength! Don't even think about using that same trick again!"

This is not a lie.

Claudy swung out his dragon claws without any intention of dodging. The sharp blade light was wrapped in a large area of ​​silver-gray frost, and even Roy, who was protecting himself with [Waste Cold], felt a little chill.

Was it worthy of being a Sequence 5 dragon? Even he couldn't escape unscathed from this attack head-on.

but……

Roy doesn't intend to give his opponent this opportunity.

"Sorry, you're not the only one who didn't use your full strength!"

【Sky-Splitting Dragon Claw】!

The dark gold slash went upstream, forcibly extinguishing the icy frost, pushing away the silver dragon's claws, and carving blood marks on its huge body.

The head-on confrontation ended with the Silver Dragon retreating in defeat.

But Roy did not underestimate the dragon's vitality. Knowing that this attack would not determine the outcome, he raised his sword and stepped forward, not giving his opponent a chance to breathe.

[Sky-Splitting Dragon Claw], [Sky-Splitting Dragon Fang]!

Lightning and thunder flashed one after another, and a dragon's roar could be heard faintly in the void. The continuous slashing and stabbing were like another ferocious dragon pressing Claudy under it and tearing the body of its own kind.

During this period, Claudy fought back several times, but he was unable to defeat Roy's sword. In the end, his dragon wings were chopped off and he had no chance of escape.

"Asshole, how dare you?!"

The pain and humiliation turned into the last bit of strength and condensed in Claudy's mouth. If even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered, the dragon's desperate breath is a terrifying killing move that even high-level transcendents dare not underestimate.

But the journey was difficult and dangerous, and Roy never underestimated any threat.

This time too.

[True Qi and Blood Burst] + [Ashes Destruction]!

It was not the [Iron Blood] energy, but the rich dragon blood that gushed out of Roy's body.

Due to multiple collisions with dragon scales, the dragon tooth blade was already covered with cracks, and the blade, which was on the verge of shattering, was stained with flowing red and climbed high into the sky with the boy's joy.

Along with it came the renewed eruption of dragon might.

His body trembled, unable to resist the overwhelming pressure. Claudy's final attack failed, and he could only watch as the scorching flames fell from the night sky like a destructive meteor.

What is reflected in Claudy's eyes is no longer the black-haired knight, but a distant past - a dragon is rampant, destroying the ordinary village and the life of a man named Claudy.

It was at that moment that he fell into unbearable fear. Just like now, a trace of fear finally emerged in the cold vertical pupils that had long lost their human form.

The golden thunder exploded with dragon flames, and the silver-gray dragon's wings were broken.

----

"Tsk, those damn cultists, they're usually so hard to kill, why do they die so easily once they're caught?!"

Even after the battle was over and all the cultists in the refugee resettlement area were suppressed, Natsu was still unable to catch the right tongue.

In desperation, he had to lead his troops to support Roy, praying to try his luck there.

Who would have thought that at this moment, the icy blue light painted the other side of the night sky.

Natsu's expression changed immediately, and he rode the griffin and took the lead.

He is the kingdom's sworn knight and his future brother-in-law. If anything happens, he won't be able to leave anyone alive.

The Royal Griffin at full speed was not much slower than the Golden Griffin, and Natsu arrived at the scene in the blink of an eye.

Then he became stupid.

After a column of flames that was even more exaggerated than the Silver Dragon's cold wind, it was the Sequence 5 dragon that fell.

The black-haired boy wasn't even injured. After taking a short breath, he went deep into the lord's hall.

The Griffin Knights arrived late, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.

"Was this all done by the Oath Knights?"

"That's impressive... However, I couldn't completely kill the dragon. I'm still a little behind the prince."

"Hehe, quite the opposite." Noticing that the giant dragon in the pool of blood was still twitching and its body was twisting and shrinking little by little, Natsu laughed.

"I can kill this kind of thing with a full-strength attack, but keeping it alive is much harder. This guy's control over strength is not much worse than his father's."

"This……"

The knights looked at each other.

Although the title of the number one prodigy in the Western Continent was very loud, it was only after witnessing his strength with their own eyes and even hearing the First Prince's praise that they realized how extraordinary their own Oath Knight was.

"Okay, don't just stand there, go and keep an eye on that tongue. It doesn't look like it has the strength to commit suicide, but we still can't let our guard down."

"Then Your Highness, you...?"

Before the knights could ask, Natsu had already landed on the griffin and followed Roy's direction into the castle.

Chapter 44: The Other Side of the Princess

The explosions and flames in the distance gradually subsided.

By the time Roy arrived at the scene following the sounds of the battle and Charlotte's breath, the battle was completely over.

Countless cultists, burned to charcoal black and unrecognizable, lay scattered in disarray amid the ruins. In the very center of the rubble, a giant dragon, second only to the cult leader in size, lay motionless with its mouth open and eyes closed, its scales charred and broken, like a garish specimen. Only the blood and magma flowing from its pierced chest revealed that it had been alive just minutes ago.

Although he had expected this, Roy still couldn't help but shudder when he saw another dragon die tragically under the flaming fist.

Even if Claude took action personally, he might not be able to capture Charlotte in a short time. A Sequence 6 cult priest might be able to suppress an ordinary Sequence 6 transcendent, but it would be too much to think about assassinating Her Royal Highness the Princess.

I think the dragon clan never told the [Evil Dragon Society] the truth about the last battle. Chunchun treated them as pawns, which is why they made such a low-level intelligence error.

Soon, Roy found the blushing figure.

"Charlotte...?!"

Before he could feel happy for a few seconds, Roy saw the girl in bright red, his expression changed, and he quickly rushed to her side.

"How? This level is nothing to me."

"Nothing is a big deal, what's wrong with your injury?!"
