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

Even if he struck out with another sword, it would still not be enough to completely kill the Eclipse King.

Tsk, should I say she's truly high-level? Without risking her life, there's no hope. Unlike Angelic Alice, there's no chance of cheating this time.

However, along the way, Roy has long been accustomed to fighting to the death and trying his best to grasp that glimmer of hope.

There was something else that worried him.

"[Cheese], do me a favor."

"Take Charlotte and run first..."

Roy was about to give an order, but unexpectedly, a delicate arm supported his weak body, and what caught his eyes was the girl's resolute expression.

"Let me make a deal with you first, I won't run away this time."

Roy frowned: "Charlotte..."

"I don't want to go through the same thing as last time, watching you bravely fight forward but being unable to do anything."

Roy had just opened his mouth when Charlotte glared at him, "Don't try to use sweet words anymore. Whether you are the Lionhearted Princess or your...partner, now is not the time to back down, right?"

The acid-corroded dragon had begun rubbing its claws, preparing for its next attack. The situation was critical, and Roy had no time to care about the other party's emotions.

"But what can you do even if you stay?"

Charlotte didn't get angry because of Roy's scolding. Instead, she smiled gently and interlocked her fingers with his. Determination and firmness burned in her crimson eyes.

"Do you believe me?"

Roy was stunned.

Once upon a time, when facing the pursuit of cultists and escaping life and death, he asked the same question to the girl when she was uneasy.

No explanation needed.

The threats posed by the cultists and the Acid Dragon Clan's Eclipse King are simply not on the same level as they were in the past. Even if Charlotte uses [Bloodline Resonance] to increase her power, the limit of Sequence 5 will never be able to defeat Kroline.

But Roy still held her hand back, giving her the strength she desired.

Just as Charlotte had done for him that day.

The breathing, pulse, and blood circulation of the two people were synchronized at this moment.

This familiar feeling made Charlotte feel extremely at ease, not just because of the [blood resonance], but because the boy's choice to trust her gave her unspeakable strength.

The shackles that had been bothering her for a long time disappeared at this moment. Charlotte only felt her chest getting hotter and hotter, her heartbeat getting faster and faster, and the heat that was almost about to burst out of her chest ignited the firewood deep in her heart at this moment.

If we say that the royal responsibility, the feelings for family and country, the indomitable fighting spirit, all the sadness, anger, and unwillingness are the firewood she has accumulated so far.

But the flame that leads her forward and makes all this burn and bloom is the simplest, smallest yet dazzling emotion.

The vague answer had never been as certain as it was at this moment. Charlotte finally understood what the fire in her heart was.

The kiss at sunset in the Red Fort was the fire in her heart.

In order to once again walk towards such a future with the boy, she can turn everything into firewood and bloom the most magnificent flame.

The dazzling flames shot straight into the sky, and the so-called insurmountable shackles of the high and middle levels were completely burned away at this moment.

Hua Yan cheered and jumped for joy, Hong Lian danced for her, the crimson flames outlined the slender flaming tail and scarlet cat ears, crowning the Lion King of the Hell of Fire, and also the true thoughts of the Lord of Flames.

Looking at the girl who had taken on the form of a mythical creature, Roy couldn't help but murmur, "Sequence 4..."

In the boy's shocked eyes, the princess of Feiyan smiled brightly: "Can you let me take the lead sometimes?"

"Knight, follow me to slay the dragon."

After a brief moment of distraction, Roy smiled back: "As you wish."

Chapter 73: The Fall of the Eclipse King

If the Dragon King's power hits the vital point, even it may not be able to escape unscathed.

The blood of the false king cannot be underestimated. Knowing that the other party still has some strength left, Kroline certainly does not dare to be careless.

When he saw Charlotte step forward to support the other person, Kroline almost laughed out loud.

When life and death are at stake, the more you care about each other, the more likely you are to reveal your flaws.

Only tiny ants need to stick together, while the truly strong ones only need to walk alone.

However, a sudden change occurred.

The fire pillars reached the sky, and the crimson flames surged.

The patterns of blazing flames, the scorching cat ears and tail, the girl displayed the characteristics of the king of beasts who had controlled the primordial fire since the First Age.

Kroline never imagined that Charlotte, who was snuggled up with him, would break through Sequence 4 in an instant and reach the realm of mythical creatures!

An ordinary Hellfire Lion is not scary, but the pattern of flames is the symbol of the leader of the lion group.

Symbol of the king.

What is the situation? !

The power of the false king's blood? Or is this really just fucking love?!

The reason is no longer important.

What’s important is that this time, [Acid-Corroded Dragon Kroline] finally felt a sense of crisis that was even more terrifying than the previous generation Lionheart King and the dragon-slaying sword he had just used.

The dragon roared, shaking the heavens. Kroline opened his claws first, but without the lingering sound of before.

The sharp blade wrapped in the bone-corroding acid wind is more powerful than any other weapon in the world, and everything it passes through turns into mud.

But the attack didn't hit at all.

Before that, Charlotte had already taken a step forward and slapped him in the face with her backhand.

[Blood and fire have the same origin].

The surging crimson flames condensed into a gigantic lion shape, giving birth to the ultimate in bloodline development, the true image of the Lion King constructed purely from primordial fire.

The sharp claws wrapped in huge amounts of flames arrived first and hit the body of the Eclipse King.

Accompanied by the roar of the explosion, large pieces of dragon scales exploded and peeled off, and the flames burned the flesh and blood to ashes. The once invincible King of Acid Erosion screamed and fell into a disadvantage in the head-on collision.

Even if it was the Flame Hell Lion King, how could he possess such formidable power after just entering Sequence 4?!

Unwilling to give up, Kroline clawed through the Flame Lion King's shoulder blade with his backhand. The same injury also appeared on Charlotte, but the latter just sneered, and continued to rush forward despite the injury.

The high-pressure Crimson Flame Claws hit again, burning away the acid on Kroline's body and peeling off large pieces of dragon scales.

The deadly clash between the two ancient beasts destroyed everything around them. The center of the capital was half a sea of ​​fire, half a sea of ​​acid. The terrifying power stirred up a terrifying storm. Whether it was the dragon or the griffon rider, they fled for fear of being caught up in it.

Every clash shook the earth, the flames and acid spurting out alone enough to render even a mortal incapable of rebirth. The mythical intensity of the battle shook everyone to the core, dwarfing even the battlefields surrounding the city walls.

After a period of trembling, Kroline finally could no longer maintain his pride. His body was bathed in fire and blood, and he was in great pain. He roared in shock and anger.

Faced with the shadow of the Lion King charging straight at him, Kroline didn't care about the pain of being burned by the scarlet flames, and grabbed it fiercely. Although it was pushed hundreds of meters away by the powerful impact force, it finally imprisoned it and stopped Charlotte's offensive.

"Don't get carried away, mortal! Your father can't defeat me, and your end will be a thousand times more miserable than his!"

Kroline bared his fangs, and a terrifying aura brewed from his mouth. A dark green spot almost darkened the sky and the earth.

Defense is not the Flame Hell Lion King's strong point. If it is a close-range [Dragon Breath], Kroline is confident that he can destroy this Flame Hell body and Charlotte himself.

However, the girl opposite sneered back without any fear.

"Is there a possibility that I'm not fighting you one-on-one?"

Only then did Kroline realize in surprise that the black-haired boy's eyes were once again filled with a dark golden light.

It's too late.

The dark gold thunder descended once again, and the pressure from the Dragon King began to rage once again. Bathed in this terrifying aura of the destruction of mountains and rivers, Kroline's heart completely froze, his blood vessels could no longer circulate, and the [Dragon Breath] that should have been pouring out also dimmed.

"No......!"

With the fatal flaw, the Hellfire Lion King pierced through the huge dragon's body with one claw, and then opened its scorching fangs at its chest.

[Breath of the Flame King].

The primordial flames exploded wherever the Lion King's fangs pointed, and along with it, Kroline's body also exploded. The roar of the scorching flames burst into a mushroom cloud that reached into the sky, and the high-pressure hot wind swept everything around.

The flying dragons and griffin knights in the sky were overturned by the high temperature wind pressure, and the soldiers on the city wall had to lie down and hide.

And in the vastness of the burning heaven and earth, the misery of the Eclipse King is so unforgettable.

"Sister! Brother! Save me......!"

Only ants need to stick together.

It’s a pity that now it doesn’t even have the chance to form a group.

The frost dragon thousands of miles away suddenly stopped its wings, and the black dragon in the abyss opened its eyes in astonishment.

The bone-gnawing and heart-burning pain spread through the connected blood vessels, conveying the unbelievable fact to every flying dragon.

The Eclipse King, Krolaine, has fallen.

It was unknown how long it took before the scorching hot wind slowly dissipated.

The dragons wailed and retreated like the tide.

The soldiers on the city wall looked in disbelief at the dragons fleeing outside the city.

"Meow meow meow, is this heaven..."

Vanilla disdainfully pushed away her trembling sister, who was hiding under her chest. She looked towards the center of the capital and murmured, "No, we are still alive."

Old Grand Duke Raymond, regardless of his burning and smoking beard, suddenly stood up and laughed out loud.

"Everyone, we win!"

The words were so beautiful that the soldiers could not believe them for a moment.

Until they all looked up in the direction of the old duke.

In the center of the royal capital, the roiling magma caused the earth to sink, and the nightmarish acid-corroded dragon had completely transformed into a silent, charred corpse.

On the giant dragon's corpse, the Scarlet Flame Princess and the black-haired Knight stood side by side.

The Eclipse King is dead.

They won.

The ecstatic mood spread like a raging fire, and eventually turned into waves of cheers.

In a corner of the royal capital, the reinforcements led by Carl and others were smoked black, but they still laughed out loud.

"Damn old man, now you are really not as good as the young people!"

"See? Our children are not as fragile as you think. The Ironblood family will not let you down, and neither will your daughter."

As the two of them either teased or laughed proudly, the Lionhearted King finally stopped being anxious and felt the same brightness.

The faint sunlight penetrated the smoke and fell on the devastated earth.

On the dragon's corpse, the exhausted boy and girl sat together.

Charlotte put on a tired but smug smile and said, "Well, have you seen how powerful I am?"

"Isn't that a bit too powerful? Can Sequence 4 be broken through just like that?"

Staring at the girl's fiery red cat ears and the gorgeous flame patterns on her cheeks, Roy was puzzled.

Until now, he still didn't understand how Charlotte could break through to the higher level with just a short moment of [Blood Resonance].

No matter how talented one is, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?

"Haha, stinky dad taught me a little trick."

"The trick?"

The crimson pupils reflected the boy's face. Charlotte just rested her head comfortably on his shoulder, smiled slightly, and did not answer.

Chapter 74 The Real Threat

The land baptized by war is devastated, and the air is filled with scarlet and smoke.

Needless to say, the city walls were on the verge of collapse, and the city center was covered with scorched earth and acid swamps, with lava flowing in it, burning the ground and causing it to sink. The fight between the two high-ranking officials destroyed half of the royal capital, turning the once prosperous city into ruins.

Even the war nineteen years ago was limited to the [Mount Doom]. Lionheart City, the symbol of the heart of the kingdom, has never been in such a state since its founding.
