There were still two dragonworms left. Brianna was focused on escorting the nobles and some of her relatives. She wanted to get them to owe her, as she believed that it was necessary to be able to sit on the throne of the emperor in the future.But, at the same time, Brianna saw Ulmer destroying a dragonworm, and she felt like she needed to do something to match him.So she purposely went after the one that Neodus had been fighting since the beginning. “Sorry, dad, but I want to get this win under my belt.” She suddenly swooped in and punched the dragonworm in the direction where there were some people escaping. She then flew there and helped them and fought the dragonworm, making them feel grateful as they thought that she was saving their lives.Neodus wasn’t surprised by that. In fact, he was proud of his daughter’s intelligence. “I wasn’t able to become the emperor, but you will definitely become the first empress of Syslon.” He actually wanted Vincent to become the emperor, but w
Ulmer’s cracked mask melted away, and the dragonworm’s acid also completely covered him.Regina quickly retracted her aura strings away, so that nobody would ever doubt her. “Hehe, no matter how strong you are, it will only need a moment of carelessness to suffer a defeat. Now, your body is melting away because of that acid. Even if you can heal yourself, the dragonworm will swallow you before you can do anything.”As Regina predicted, the dragonworm started sucking the air, and it pulled Ulmer toward its mouth.A ball of earth formed around Ulmer just as the dragonworm swallowed him, but then the ball of earth grew spikes all around it and pierced through the dragonworm’s body from inside out.The dragonworm twitched and rolled in pain before coughing out the spiked ball of earth.“Huh?” Regina was not expecting that. “Ah, I almost forgot. This bastard has the ability to manipulate earth. How could I overlook that?”The ball of earth soon melted away, and Ulmer was standing with a pl
All the dragonworms were taken care of. And the one who dealt with the last dragonworm turned out to be none other than Knight Beater.Though there were still many eyewitnesses, they didn’t praise Knight Beater. Instead, they were praising the royals, the lions, the nobles, the knights, and also the emperor, even though the emperor didn’t even leave from his seat.Regina and Neodus liked being praised by them.Brianna was only slightly smiling. She never fought the dragonworms before, so overcoming this hurdle was also satisfying to her.Ulmer, on the other hand, was opening and closing his fist. “I think I can do better.”[Of course.] Dove’s voice rang in his mind. [You’ve only just started to rely on your spiritual energy properly. Once you learn to use it more naturally, you will be able to even grab spirits or slap them in the face!]“Oh, so I will be able to deal with things from the spiritual realm, huh,” Ulmer felt a little excited but also nervous because it meant that there r
Zebron, Oscar, Alveron, Nirvan, and many others looked up at the skies before anything even came into their view.“Is it really that monster?” Mirianne asked Rever as she was running away.“My father said so, so there’s no doubt,” Rever told her, a hint of tension in his voice.Mirianne had never seen Rever run away from anything before. He was willing to fight even against the dragonworms, but now, against this mighty monster that even the emperor couldn’t kill, he had to run away. After all, being present at this scene would also cause the top knights to have disadvantage. “They won’t lose, right?”“I don’t know,” Rever had a frown on his face. “Even the Lions did not fight that monster till now. Only the emperor has fought it and withstood it, as far as my knowledge goes. But that’s also many decades. Now, the emperor is old. But that monster… they live thousands of years, so it’s still probably in its prime.”“But the emperor doesn’t have to fight it alone this time,” Mirianne sai
“Show us what’s happening at the colosseum, Brother,” Suki was pulling the shirt of Ulmer’s clone. “Please!”“No, a dangerous monster has arrived there,” Ulmer’s clone replied. “It’s going to cause a lot of destruction. Probably. It’s not something a child like you should watch.”“I’m not a child!” Suki blurted innocently. “I’m ten years old!”“You’re only eight, Suki,” Kale said.“E-Eight is old enough,” Suki opined.“No, it’s not,” Kale added. “You still suck your thumb in your sleep, don’t you?”“T-That’s got nothing to do with this!” Suki yelled. “Please, Brother. I want to see that monster. I want to see you fight that dragon!”Ayana pulled Suki’s ear and took her to their mother. Robin grabbed Suki by the shoulders and took her to their room.Ayana then looked a bit nervously at Ulmer’s clone. “Are you sure you want to stay there when most of the people are running away? You don’t have to fight that thing and risk your life. These people will not even praise you for your efforts
“Why isn’t it coming down?” Brianna asked.“Maybe, it didn’t expect the location to be here, where there are so many of us,” Alveron said. “That thing’s priority is probably to devour the dragonworms as they’re full of rich nutrients. But now that the dragonworms are dead, and their bodies have been shattered to bits and pieces and were scattered everywhere like dust, that dragon might be wondering what it should do right now.”“Mm…” Brianna paused for a moment. (I’ve heard from Dad that the Dragon of Doom caused lots of damage in the past, when he was just a kid, and that Grandpa was the one who stopped it by injuring it. It was already at level 98 back then. It’s probably at level 99 now, just like Grandpa. If that thing had eaten the dragonworms now, it would have likely leveled up and reached level 100. That’s something that was unheard of. Only the first emperor who established Syslon has reached that level. No one else in history was able to achieve that feat.) She then began to
Many years ago.Brianna and Vincent were both taken by Emperor Dylan to an altar. They were both told to offer firstfruits of their labor, which was the money they earned in their first month of work that they used to buy delicious food of a different kind.After they put the rare and delicious fruits, one each, by the altar and prayed, Vincent asked Dylan, “Grandpa, why are the fruits not disappearing? Why isn’t God taking them and eating them?”“That’s because God doesn’t exist,” Brianna opined. “But we do this as it is a custom.”“Who said God doesn’t exist?” Dylan pulled Brianna’s cheek.“If he exists, then why doesn’t he eat the fruits?” Brianna quickly asked another question with her little brain. She was only eight years old at the time.“The priest is going to eat those fruits,” Dylan replied. “It is the same as God eating the fruits.”“That makes no sense,” Brianna said. “Then why don’t we also pray to the priest? Wouldn’t that be the same as praying to God?”“That’s a good q
The black dragon did not see anyone bowing before its presence, and so it didn’t even think about talking with them.It straightaway used its special breathing ability to suck the air into its lungs and created a spiraling flame which then blasted down like a pillar and traveled miles down before crashing on the ground and spreading in every direction.The royal knights had formed a barrier to block the flames from hurting the others, and the flames cracked and broke the barrier.The Thompson family from the Frostlands and their people used their ice ability to negate the flames.Alveron used his Gravity Shatter attack to dismantle the flames and stop them from touching Brianna.Oscar just stood there, with his hands in his pockets, for the flames did not touch him, or rather they couldn’t touch him. They could only go around him, for he was a master of heavenly flames.Zebron, on the other hand, used his sword to cut through the flames and split them into pieces, making them fade awa
