The two heads of the dragon continued to sway incessantly, then spewing flames towards Leo. Leo quickly dodged, but still couldn't escape getting singed by the flames. He swiftly tried to extinguish the fire on his body and then resumed his attack on the dragon. The dragon's sole target from start to finish seemed to be Alex. It relentlessly sought to bypass Lucifer and Leo, its malevolent gaze fixed on Alex behind them. Leo couldn't help but furrow his brow, speaking in a low voice, "This dragon is too powerful, just the two of us can't possibly be its match!"Lucifer also furrowed his brow tightly, then suddenly stopped.Flames surged from his body, continuously writhing before starting to coil around his sword. Lucifer gazed coldly at the dragon Ember. In Leo's eyes, he seemed to see an invisible scale behind Lucifer's back. A black scale with black flames burning upon it.Alex used his faint telepathic ability to look ahead. He caught sight of Lucifer's silhouette, recogn
Lucifer felt the ring in his hand heat up slightly, accompanied by Leo's shouting: "Run!" It turned out that at this moment, the dragon king had begun to decide to attack them. It went berserk, spewing flames as if it wanted them to burn to ashes. But just then, a figure suddenly flashed out of thin air. It was another Ember dragon! However, it had only one head, and its body was much smaller than the dragon king's. Yet, it still had differences compared to the king and other regular dragons. Its body seemed enveloped in flames. Its wings were mere skeletons, with flesh and skin replaced by fire. It roared thunderously, spewing forth large flames and attacking the dragon king fearlessly.Clearly, despite any dragon's instinctive fear of the dragon king, this dragon seemed like an exception. It paid no attention to hierarchical superiority, focusing only on relentless attacks. Although the dragon king was mighty, it had already fought previously, even losing two heads. Furth
Early the next morning, Alex and the others were invited to the headquarters of the EIB president's office. It was clearly an invitation from Leo. The others all looked at Alex simultaneously. What could Alex do now but nod in agreement? So, they were escorted to the headquarters of the capital's president.They were led to the top floor of the tallest skyscraper in the capital. Thomas couldn't help but exclaim a little, "Nice view, isn't it?" As they stepped out of the elevator, suddenly, another person emerged and respectfully said, "Please, Alex and Lucifer, follow me." Of course, there would be others to receive the rest of them. Seeing this, the others couldn't help but look at Alex. Alex nodded and said, "It's nothing." Hearing Alex say that the others had no further comments. Only then did Alex and Lucifer follow the staff member to Leo's office. The person opened the door and softly said, "Mr. President, they've arrived." Leo's voice came from inside, sounding low
Seeing them seemingly about to argue again, Moon quickly intervened to reconcile, saying, "Leo has always been a good leader. I can see his sincerity towards his people. He wouldn't bring this up as a joke."Vanessa frowned upon hearing this, seeming to still have some doubts, but she didn't say anything more, as if she had started to agree with Moon's words.Michael remained silent, as he often did.Vanessa couldn't help but glance at him, asking, "Michael, what do you think about this?"Michael looked at Vanessa and replied, "I think, like Moon, we should send troops to the capital."Seeing everyone reaching a consensus, Leo nodded and said, "Alright, my people will depart now. I hope everyone can prepare the army as soon as possible."Others had no further objections.At night, the moon shone brightly, and everyone had fallen into sleep.Alex suddenly opened his eyes, finding himself in a completely different space.The ground beneath his feet was as flat as glass, reflecting the s
Alex finished speaking, and Umbra appeared.He had always been by Alex's side, just always invisible.Alex looked at him and said, "You heard our conversation just now, didn't you?"Umbra nodded and said, "Actually, after merging with the light remnants, I also realized something, but I just didn't dare to confirm it."Alex nodded and said, "Now you can choose to merge with Lucifer. He also has suspicions about your identity. Just tell him everything."Umbra nodded to show he understood.At this point, Alex also called Cale to instruct him to prepare everything. They would depart early this morning.As Alex descended to the hall, he met Lucifer.Lucifer looked at Alex, pursing his lips, seeming not too pleased, but he didn't say anything more.He had maintained this dissatisfied expression since yesterday and remained silent, something Alex didn't bother to pay attention to.At that moment, Alex slightly tilted his body and said, "Lucifer, perhaps you'd like to talk to this person he
Before leaving the Celestria region, Alex went to find Ron.By this time, the number of contaminated people had increased significantly, and they had even formed a separate organization.The visible surface was just a part of them; in reality, their numbers were much larger.Alex transferred a lot of light energy to Ron. With this, he could also help others alleviate the pain of contamination. After the apocalypse ended, as long as these people remained alive, their bodies would return to normal. If they couldn't return to normal, Alex could only think of ways to help them.Ron looked at Alex, grateful, and said, "You will surely win this battle."Alex looked at the reverent eyes of Ron's group, feeling as though he hadn't done much, yet he had become almost like a deity to them. It was a strange feeling, but Alex didn't resent it. If he received gratitude and respect, he could only try his best to live up to their expectations.They were now walking along the route to the border
Vanessa ascended to the position of President of the Shadow Realm at the young age of 17. She was the chosen successor after a period of turmoil within the Shadow Realm. At that time, not only did outsiders doubt her, but even those within the Shadow Realm harbored little trust in her. In the darkness, countless people looked down on her, waiting for her to falter from her high seat.However, no one dared to bully her because her external capabilities were truly formidable. In front of everyone, Vanessa always projected herself as a confident and generous person, radiating light wherever she went, seemingly unstoppable.Yet only she knew how fearful she truly was, how many nights she silently cried. And yet, in normal times, she always maintained a confident and generous demeanor.During one of the annual meetings among the regions before the advent of wireless communication devices, Vanessa remembered that Leo had invented the wireless communication device right after he assumed
Others remained vigilant as they peered into the mist.Vanessa, on the other hand, lurked behind them, akin to a true monster. Screams suddenly pierced the air, some filled with despair, as if encountering something utterly terrifying. Alex's wind blades wasted no time, either. They snaked around, swiftly severing the necks of those trailing behind. While these individuals might be skilled soldiers, they stood no chance against Alex's group. They might have the numerical advantage, but in such misty conditions, they would quickly become isolated, a moment when they would succumb to the stronger foes. However, at that moment, Cale's voice resounded abruptly, "More footsteps approaching, another army heading this way, extremely fast and numerous!" Upon hearing Cale's words, both Alex and Vanessa couldn't help but furrow their brows. Alex rolled his eyes, his tone grave, "They're intentional. Perhaps the apocalypse has begun to unfold in the capital. They're just buying time, del
