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

"Roy, you..."

Charlotte opened her mouth, looked at the boy's bruised body, and tears couldn't stop falling.

Roy wanted to say something to comfort her, but as soon as he opened his mouth, blood started flowing out of his mouth uncontrollably.

This frightened Charlotte so much that she cried even louder.

Roy moved his mouth with difficulty, extremely anxious.

No, don't just cry.

I think I can still salvage it!

Although these injuries look scary, Roy knows his condition well and it shouldn't be a problem to bandage them in time.

At this moment, another loud noise was heard from the crater.

Are you kidding me? He's still not dead after taking that blow?!

But when Roy looked up, he found that the Red Blood Fire Dragon looked even worse than himself.

The fire dragon was already seriously injured, and now its entire body was almost cut into pieces. Its dragon scales were broken and kept falling off, and its heart in its chest was shattered and bleeding.

The dragon's powerful vitality allowed it to hold on to its last breath, but it could not save its life.

There were too many exposed wounds, and magma kept pouring into its internal organs. It was a torture a thousand times more cruel than cutting flesh with a blunt knife.

It roared and struggled, but was eventually annihilated bit by bit in the abyss of magma.

At the moment when it was about to disappear in the magma, the golden-red eye filled with resentment glared at Roy and let out an unwilling roar.

Roy felt a tremor deep in his soul.

"Blood of the false king! You are dead!"

"I have marked your soul! My compatriots will remember this hatred and completely annihilate your soul to avenge me, until death...!"

Watching the fire dragon sink completely into the volcano, Roy laughed, and he couldn't stop laughing even though he was spitting blood.

Whatever happens in the future will be fine.

At least at this moment, the fire dragon is dead.

I won.

【Congratulations on completing the Fate-Defying Node! 】

[Lionheart Defiance Progress]: 60%

Chapter 125 The Price

The turmoil of the dragon came unexpectedly and went away just as quickly and inexplicably.

The death of the Red-Blooded Fire Dragon, Baragas, significantly weakened the sub-dragon bloodline within the kingdom, dramatically reducing the threat. Furthermore, dragons are inherently social creatures, and with the death of their leader, they lost their command and, without a unified purpose, were quickly defeated by the counterattacks of the local lords.

Among them, Tiexue Ridge, guarded by elite soldiers, was the first city to repel the Asian dragon and restore order.

However, this morning, the arrival of a letter broke the tranquility of Tiexue Ridge.

Roy was concerned about Alice's safety, so he wrote a letter and asked the capital to send a griffin to deliver it back quickly and report that she was safe.

Of course, he did not mention the fire dragon, and tried to downplay the matter as much as possible.

However, this letter still made the little maid, who was worried about her master, fall into deep panic.

The master is injured.

The moment Alice heard Anya say this, she froze in place, her heart almost stopped, and her brain was buzzing.

Fortunately, after Anya finished reading the letter, her frown slowly relaxed, and Alice finally understood the current situation.

"Fortunately, the young master is no longer in danger of death and is currently recuperating in the royal capital."

"There's people in the capital taking care of her, so you don't have to worry too much." Anya said something to reassure Alice when she saw her pale face.

But Alice sensitively caught Roy's words and said worriedly, "He needs to rest. It means his injuries haven't fully healed yet."

"How badly must one be injured to..."

Seeing the girl's eyes wandering and her mind already wandering outside, Anya said sympathetically, "Since you're so worried, why don't you go to the capital and take a look yourself?"

"Huh? But..." Alice looked at the ruins outside the window, a little hesitant.

If possible, she would certainly like to go find Roy immediately.

The swarm of dragons had been repelled, but the damaged city was in ruins and the defenders could not leave in order to maintain order.

Besides, he had come to the Knights Templar for training. Leaving at this time would not only be deserting the battlefield, but also be abandoning his post without permission.

For the obedient Alice, it was her instinct not to break the rules.

Anya sighed helplessly.

This kid is good in every way except that he is too stubborn.

Boys are generally dull and slow, but why is it the opposite with Alice?

"You're not much here, either. You don't need to worry. Besides..." Anya looked out the window and said meaningfully in a deep voice, "The young master is injured and needs someone to take care of him."

"Just imagine, how lonely it must be for the young master to be lying alone on a hospital bed in the capital, without even someone to chat with."

As soon as these words came out, Alice immediately imagined the miserable scene of Roy wrapped in bandages, lying alone in bed, hungry and with no one to take care of him.

She automatically ignored the existence of chocolate and vanilla.

The master needs himself!

Thinking of this, Alice could no longer sit still, and immediately packed her luggage and prepared to set off for the royal capital.

The Yalong riots have now subsided, but the defeated Yalongs are still wandering in the mountains and forests, posing a serious threat to transportation in various places.

Even if you are a supernatural being, it is dangerous to travel alone.

Not to mention Alice, even Anya didn't expect that after learning that she was going on a long journey, so many adventurers would come to escort her spontaneously.

Among them are many veterans, led by [Great Axe] Gray.

A group of adventurers, armed with weapons, with strong backs and ferocious looks, standing together, this posture alone is enough to give you a full sense of security.

Not to mention escorting a maid, this lineup is more than enough to escort the daughter of a noble.

"Don't worry, Sister Alice, those monsters won't be able to touch you with us around!"

"But I don't have any money and can't pay the commission." Alice was a little distressed.

"You're being too polite!"

"That's right, Miss Alice has saved us so many times, how could we possibly take money from you!"

"Besides, we also want to meet your young...!"

A young man who let something slip was hit by an elbow and lost his voice.

That's right, not only do they want to escort Alice, they also want to witness Alice's partner with their own eyes.

During these days of combat, Alice, as a guardian angel, was deeply loved and respected by the soldiers and adventurers. Although the soldiers who had met Roy seemed to think highly of him, they were still worried.

In short, it's the so-called uncle next door mentality.

They couldn't rest assured until they saw with their own eyes the character of the boy whom Alice called 'Master'!

Originally, Alice didn't like to owe favors to others, but out of her desire to meet Roy as soon as possible, she finally nodded and agreed.

Just as Sister Anya said, the seriously injured master must be enduring loneliness alone in the royal capital, and this is when he needs me.

We can't delay any longer, we must rush over to take care of our master as soon as possible!

So, Alice, escorted by a group of adventurers, hurriedly embarked on a journey to the royal capital.

--------------

The days of rest were more comfortable than Roy had imagined.

Although Roy laughed and vomited blood that day, and finally almost choked to death, which scared Charlotte so much that she cried non-stop, fortunately Lisa arrived in time and took emergency measures.

Everything will be easy after returning to the capital.

Roy fainted due to excessive blood loss. When he woke up, his body was covered with ointment and bandages, and he was lying comfortably on the luxurious big bed.

The fire dragon was dead and the threat was no longer there. With Queen Lessa in charge, the palace quickly recovered from the turmoil and ordered the elimination of the remnants of the [Evil Dragon Society] hiding in the royal capital.

In fact, when the fire dragon gave orders to all dragons, the believers of the [Evil Dragon Society] could not restrain their restless blood, and followed the dragon in burning and killing driven by instinct.

Although they were having fun at the time, once the fire dragon died and they lost the blessing of their bloodline, they could no longer hide. They were like rats crossing the street and were hunted by everyone. They were soon captured by the tough and brave people of Lionheart.

It is said that the Royal Capital Guard did not do much, and many followers of the [Evil Dragon Society] were even tied up and escorted here by the people who took spontaneous action.

In short, Wang Du walked out of the shadow of the dragon clan in just a few days.

Unfortunately, Roy himself did not have such a smooth journey.

The more powerful the power, the higher the price. Roy experienced this firsthand.

The power of [Dragon Slaying Sword Balmung] was too strong, and it could be called a true extraordinary artifact. With just one sword, it drained all of Roy's extraordinary power and caused devastating damage to his blood vessels and muscles.

If I didn't have a strong body, I would have died at that time.

Even after receiving treatment from a professional team, Roy is now in a semi-paralyzed state. It hurts so much to move that he has to lie in bed and rest.

Even so, the doctor commented in amazement, "It's a miracle that he only suffered such a small injury despite carrying the power of seven Heavenly Dragons!" Roy was speechless and almost died with his last breath.

According to the doctor, people who carry divine power are either crazy or dead. It is rare to encounter someone like him who is conscious and breathing.

However, later, thinking back to the cultist Bruven, whose body became covered in scales and whose face was distorted by the dragon's blood, and the knights who were contaminated by the dragon's power and naturally turned into sub-dragon monsters, Roy could understand their feelings.

But Roy himself understood that his survival was not due to a miracle of fate, but because of the true power of his bloodline.

Chapter 126 Charlotte's Care

True Bloodline

[False King]: Sequence 9

[Dragon King's Blessing]:

[Pseudo Dragon Breath - Sky]: A projection of the dragon breath of [Dragon King - Bahamut], imbued with the might of the Dragon King, powerful enough to rival a Sequence 4's full-strength attack. However, this divine power comes with significant side effects.

Although Roy hasn't fully understood it yet, he is certain that the [False King] has the ability to inherit the power of ancient heroes, and is even able to leverage a trace of divine power!

Legend has it that [Dragon King Bahamut] is a demigod, and his projection alone is enough to kill [Red Blood Fire Dragon Baragas], a display of power that is truly worthy of the legend.

Sequence 4 was a rare sight in Vizea, a formidable force capable of dominating the continent! In the worst-case scenario, he possessed the ability to trade one-for-one with these powerful individuals!

If I train this bloodline power well, maybe I can really rival or even surpass the golden bloodline in the future!

There may be other fate-defying crises in the future, and as the fire dragon said, its remaining compatriots are targeting it, so there must be other celestial dragons alive in the world.

But now, he is finally no longer the incompetent young man who sits and waits for death, and he really has the opportunity to resist fate!

Thinking of this, Roy's heart was filled with lofty ambitions, and he turned over in bed on the spot!

There is no way, the power of [Dragon King Bahamut] is strong, but the side effects are equally outrageous.

Especially the projection of the Blade of the Former King, which not only consumes the points of reversal of fate, but also requires krypton life. It is a killing move that is only used when you are desperate.

No matter what ambitions you have, you have to wait until your injury heals.

So Roy rested peacefully, eating and sleeping all day long.

Vizseya doesn't have the rich electronic entertainment that it had in its previous life, so resting is a rather boring thing.

Fortunately, with Charlotte's company, these days are not boring.

Charlotte's injuries were much lighter than his, and she recovered after a day's sleep.

From then on, the girl appeared at Roy's bedside every day when she was free, and volunteered to take over the responsibility of taking care of him from the two cat maids.

At first, Roy was quite looking forward to it, thinking that it would be such an enviable thing to have the great Princess Lionheart personally take care of him.

But the princess, who had never taken care of anyone before, was too clumsy. She would spill water when she brought it, feed Roy on his face when she fed him, apply medicine in a mess, and even tied Roy up like a mummy when she bandaged him.

It was really not enjoyable at all, and it made Roy feel very tired.

"Well, if it doesn't work, let's leave it to Chocolate and the others." In order not to disappoint the other party's kindness, Roy tried to speak as tactfully as possible.
