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

The blood is instinctively afraid.

Recalling the dark golden power that broke through the ice-blue frost, Malygos suddenly thought of a possibility, but he didn't dare to believe it, let alone admit it.

Unable to awaken its frozen body, it could only hastily issue the command: "Chase!"

The dragons woke up as if from a dream and pounced on Roy.

After the blow, Roy was unable to move as if all his strength had been drained away.

But the golden-winged griffin had already carried him to the rear in time. Carl, Natsu, and more griffin knights also came forward to protect him, forcing all the flying dragons to retreat.

As the sea-blue dust drifted away, the figures of Roy and others disappeared.

The broken valley returned to peace.

Until there was no trace of human figure in sight, the ice dragon's angry roar resounded through the sky.

--------

The roar of the flying dragon was endless, and the ferocious figure was lingering around.

On several occasions, the dragon scouts almost flew over their heads, making everyone extremely nervous.

Fortunately, after a day and night of searching, the cave where they were temporarily hiding was not exposed after all.

"I never thought the Oath Knight would treasure such a powerful concealing barrier!"

"Haha, considering his relationship with that Sage, it's normal for him to have found a few powerful Super Sisters, right?"

[Dance of the Sea Breeze] was completely used up during the retreat, but [Elemental Barrier·Remnant] came in handy at this time.

[Elemental Barrier: Remnant] can exert corresponding effects based on the user's extraordinary abilities. Although Nia was not accompanying him this time, the barrier that absorbed the aura of [Calm as Still Water] was not much less effective.

After escaping the dragon's pursuit, Roy finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease for the time being.

Back in the cave, Roy smiled at everyone and said, "It looks like we are safe now."

Whether they were ordinary soldiers or griffin knights, they all couldn't help but smile at this moment.

Hiding from place to place when there was a huge gap in strength was a very depressing thing, but everyone's morale was better than Roy expected.

Even hidden deep in the dark cave, the light in people's eyes has not been lost.

There is no other reason.

The battle may have been lost, but hope in the war between humans and dragons was far from lost.

"What dragon race? Aren't they that smart?"

"Even if you're really caught up, don't be afraid!"

"That's right. Even the Frost Dragon was eventually wounded by the Oath-Lord Knight! If we can't escape unscathed, they won't have an easy time either!"

The fear of dragons has always lingered in the hearts of the kingdom's citizens, only dispelled by the legend of the Lionheart and the Eleven Knights.

Nineteen years have passed, and the glorious memories of the Dragon War have gradually faded, while the fear brought by the Dragon Clan's return has become more real.

However, witnessing the Holy Flame Sword that slashed the Ice Dragon rekindled hope for everyone.

It turns out that dragons are not invincible, and slaying dragons is not a false legend, at least it is not hopeless.

As the black-haired boy walked slowly past, the magicians stood up and saluted, the clergy offered prayers, and the knights of the kingdom cast ardent glances at him and followed behind him.

"Lord Roy, thank you for your continued vigilance after yesterday's battle."

"Nothing, I'm not very tired yet. As an intermediate level player, I naturally have to step up at a time like this."

"Not really... As expected of Lord Roy, right?"

The knights looked at each other, and couldn't help but show a little more respect.

After that battle, both Natsu and Carl collapsed to the ground and could not move, and had to rest for a while.

Holy water, blood tonic, blue magic potion, plus the care of the priests, but even if the medical conditions are upgraded to the highest level, the injuries of the two and the consumption of their extraordinary powers will take time to heal slowly.

It was a blessing in disguise that they could survive the battle against the seven heavenly dragons. They probably wouldn't be able to participate in the battle again within three to five days.

Even a truly strong body of steel has reached its limit at this moment.

However, Roy, who also participated in the battle and was covered in wounds, got up the next day after lying down all night and helped to take charge of the guard, which made people think they had seen a ghost.

"There's no need to make a fuss. It's normal for guards serving the Saint to be blessed by miracles."

Under the explanation of the priests' basic skills, people finally accepted this setting. They did not dwell on Roy's extraordinary recovery speed, but only admired his tenacity.

In response, Roy just smiled bitterly and didn't explain further.

To be honest, this battle was extremely dangerous.

The Frost Dragon is not our little angel. Every move he makes is fatal and he has no intention of holding back.

This was his first time to fight a high-level warrior with all his strength.

Fortunately, the Red Blood Fire Dragon's [Fire Flame] has attribute restraint on Malygos, otherwise even if it consumes the points of reversal of fate, it can still severely injure him with one blow.

What Roy couldn't understand the most was why the other party didn't catch up with him at that time.

Although [Angel's Chant] is powerful, the amount of supernatural power it consumes is also astonishing. Just one strike used up all his supernatural power.

Although both are protection, Alice is still far inferior to the ancient demigods such as the Dragon King and the True Ancestor, so the power she can provide is of course very limited.

Moreover, this is a one-time [Seraph] experience card, which will be gone once it is used up.

There was no way Malygos wasn't aware of this.

If Malygos tries his best to chase him, you can only use your Fate Reversal Points to add one or two more sword strikes.

Given his weak state after being seriously injured at the time, even if he used the fate-defying point to kill the Frost Dragon, it would probably be a lose-lose situation for both sides.

He was already seriously injured by the dragon claws, and coupled with the side effects of projecting the Blade of the Former King, without top-level medical care, he might not be able to hold on even with [Blood Healing].

Fortunately, the Frost Dragon did not chase him recklessly in the end, so he was able to escape.

Chapter 59: Swords to the Dragon Clan

【title】:

[Sword to the Dragon Clan]: Draw your sword and cut through the dragon scales. As a human knight, you severely injure the Frost King, one of the seven heavenly dragons, and prove to humans that the dragon clan is not invincible and that the Lord of the Sky can also bleed.

[Reputation]: Reputation points +5000

[Reputation gain detected, converted into power of faith]

Divinity: 3.5%

[Progress detected in the Fate-Defying Node]

[Reward]: Fate Reversal Point +1

[Lionheart·Defying Fate Progress]: 70%

The collaboration with Malygos brought a lot of gains, divinity and reputation were two sides of the same coin, both were increased.

It was a pity that I was not able to completely kill the Frost Dragon at that time, otherwise my reputation would have been at least 10,000 or 20,000.

But it was no easy task to completely kill a mythical creature. Roy only dared to think about it and did not dare to ask for too much.

The points and progress of reversing fate were also increased as usual, which meant that rescuing Carl was the right move.

Not to mention the thousands of infantrymen, just saving a hundred griffin knights and Carl, a mid-level fighter, and preserving so many manpower will be beneficial to the upcoming decisive battle.

However, the progress of defying fate did not increase much, and the defying fate node did not prompt completion. Unlike the previous times, this was obviously a continuous event, and there was not even room for breathing.

The existing combat power alone is still not enough to completely change the situation of the war and the fate of the kingdom. There is still a lot to do.

After counting the harvest on the panel, Roy went deep into the cave to visit Carl and Natsu.

Natsu was fine. He was shirtless and covered in bandages. He ignored the dissuasion of several handsome young priests and insisted on sitting up, posing in a very manly manner.

Carl was in a much worse situation. Wrapped from head to toe like a mummy, he lay completely motionless on the haystack. If Roy hadn't been able to sense his breath, he would have thought he was dead.

"Father, are you sure you're alright? Do you need more holy water?"

The mummy opened his eyes and said, "No need. The holy water is already full of healing power."

"Don't worry, thanks to your potion, the damage isn't even as severe as it was during the battle with the fire dragon. This level of damage is normal for my Ainblood family."

Is this not better than this?

Were you burned into charcoal by the fire dragon back then?!

And what do you mean by normal? Is our Einblood family really that miserable?! We get beaten up on a daily basis?!

Roy suddenly felt fortunate that he possessed the abilities of a vampire, otherwise he would be beaten to the point of being unable to get out of bed every now and then. That would be too miserable!

"Hahahaha! Actually, I thought we were dead at that time!" Natsu said the scary words with a hearty expression.

"If I can truly accomplish the feat of slaying a dragon together with the three of you, I will be worthy of the honor of being a knight of the kingdom, and even surpass my father. That would be quite a loss."

Natsu looked at Roy with a gleaming gaze: "But now it seems that you still have a better chance of slaying the dragon!"

Every Lionhearted citizen grew up listening to stories of knights slaying dragons, and the Lionhearted Prince was even more so. Rather than simply feeling awe, he longed to personally participate in such legends and surpass his biological father.

In response, Roy smiled bitterly: "Forget it this time, let's talk about it next time."

If the Ice Dragon really fought hard at that time, the best result would be an extreme one-for-one exchange.

The feat of slaying a dragon is undoubtedly the highest honor for a knight, but Roy does not want to die so early.

There are so many sweet and soft little angels, little princesses and little elves at home, who would be willing to die?

Natsu seemed to have misunderstood something and sighed, "I see. If it doesn't work this time, I'll definitely do it next time. What a lofty ambition! He doesn't even take the dragons seriously!"

"?"

"Hahahahaha, he's worthy of being the man that the princess has her eyes on!"

Natsu's laughter pulled at the wound, and blood spurted out of his body. He himself turned a blind eye to it, but it scared several priests so much that they became panic-stricken.

The prince approved of Roy and had no objection to him being with Charlotte, which was a good thing.

But when he thought of his son's overly complicated emotional entanglement, Carl still had a headache.

I really don’t know if Lord Natsu will still be able to laugh when he knows the truth.

Carl closed his eyes silently and became a mummy again.

Roy sat across from the two of them, recalling the details of that time with some unease: "Actually, it was more like we were let go."

[Ashes of Annihilation], empowered by [Angel's Lament], is equivalent to a Sequence 4 attack, no less powerful than the projection of the Blade of the Former King, and is powerful enough to kill powerful enemies at the level of high-level projections or offspring of evil gods with a single strike.

However, for the real mythical creature, it is far from a fatal injury.

In fact, Malygos's vitality was not completely lost at that time, and he obviously still had some strength left.

"In fact, it should be able to catch up..."

"Let me answer this question."

Rowling's chuckle came to my mind at the right moment.

"In my opinion, that guy is probably a coward."

"Cowarded?"

"Hmm, it probably sensed Bahamut's presence. The king of a race has a natural suppression over those below him. The dragon might of a Sequence 5 might have difficulty in influencing other Sequence 4s, but it's still effective against the dragon race."

"Unless someone possesses incredible willpower, most lower-rankers are unable to disobey their superiors. Bahamut is also a leader among the many demigods. If you truly reach Sequence 4 and fully unleash its power, it will be a complete dimensionality reduction blow to dragons of the same level!"

Although Rowling said it happily, Roy found it a little subtle.

I understand the logic, but isn't this just empty talk?

After Sequence 4, you can easily defeat dragons of the same level.

But before that, he had to defeat at least many dragons and gather enough reputation to advance to Sequence 4.

How to defeat more dragons and advance to Sequence 4. How to advance to Sequence 4 and defeat more dragons.

Where are the matryoshka dolls here?

"Fighting a dragon... I still feel a bit regretful that I wasn't able to participate in the Second Anti-Dragon War nineteen years ago."

Listening to Rowling's sigh, Roy suddenly felt a little sad.

The kingdom is Rowling's hometown after all, where her old friends and lovers are. It must be a regret for her that she was unable to help them in their time of crisis.
